12	''Aware'' is a SpriteComic made by [[http://www.smackjeeves.com/profile.php?id=9443 Shard]], which tells the story of Két, a [[FourthWallObserver wall-aware]] feline who travels around TheMultiverse at [[AuthorAvatar Niv's]] request in order to find a particular [[MacGuffin item.]] It can be read [[http://www.smackjeeves.com/comicprofile.php?id=132405 here.]]
13
14	In each world, Két must fulfill an "objective" before she can move on to the next one. However, she also has to deal with being chased around by [[TriggerHappy Damaru]] and [[AGodAmI Silverado]], as well as a multitude of other problems based on whatever world she happens to drop into.

22	!!Tropes featured in Aware:
23	* AllThereInTheManual:
24	** The World Index and the Important Faces page, as well as Niv's author comments.
25	** Not to mention [[Website/TVTropes this very page,]] as Niv is an active troper and adds information not in the comic proper.
26	* AlternateUniverse: Essentially what the Twisted worlds are.
27	* AltText: Starting on the [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/2051322/let-the-tournament-begin/ first update of 2015]] and ending on page 300.
28	* AmbidextrousSprite: Averted by [[FashionableAsymmetry Két]], who has different sprites based on which direction she's facing. Played straight by ''everyone else'', most noticeably Blair, whose {{BFS}} will swap the direction it's facing based on which way he's facing at the time.
29	* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: While Két's on World [6], Niv swaps the perspective to see what Damaru and Silverado are up to for a little bit.
30	* ApatheticCitizens: Due to the fact that EveryoneIsASuper there, no one in Trinus really seems to care when they're being threatened by a villain or something similar.
31	* ArtShift: Some pages have a drawn image on them, when Niv feels that sprites can't properly convey a picture.
32	* AsideComment: Periodically, text will appear near characters that are not necessarily in speech bubbles. These aren't often acknowledged by other members of the cast, and seem to be more of an immediate reaction or a small indication of what exactly is going through their mind at the moment.
33	* AsleepForDays: Damaru was out for three days after his fight with Blair. Két's out for a week after her run-in with Blair.
34	* AsYouKnow: Parodied on the third page.
35	-->'''Niv''': As you know-
36	-->'''Két''': No, I don't know.
37	-->'''Niv''': '''''Let me talk.'''''
38	* BadPowersGoodPeople: Yamaha and his necromancy.
39	* {{Beat}}: Alternates between being used for comedic effect and dramatic effect, but still employed somewhat frequently.
40	** BeatPanel: Niv's preferred method of using this trope. Characters will often take an entire panel to comprehend what just happened to or near them.
41	* BehindTheBlack: Happens relatively often, in part to catch Két off guard, and in part to help her disappear.
42	* BetterThanABareBulb: Két certainly seems to think so.
43	* BigWhat: On occasion, such as [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/1954834/reunited/ here.]]
44	* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Comic!Ket is erased by Silvena after failing all her objectives and losing everything, but RP!Ket manages to kill the newly empowered Silvena before she can begin conquering the multiverse, saving trillions of lives and retrieving the Scarf. The surviving characters all mourn Comic!Ket, but thanks to RP!Ket, they are all able to at least slowly begin to move on. Also, Comic!Ket's influence has allowed RP!Ket to cast aside the bitter disinterest in reality caused by her RageAgainstTheAuthor, allowing her to become a better, more heroic person.]]
45	* BizarreAlienBiology: Két mentions [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/1985990/now-that-were-here-so-far-away/ here]] that she's a Tibian, which means she doesn't have any organs. She explains [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/1994958/arise/ here]], to the best of her ability, how her biology works.
46	* BlatantLies: "Yes. That is''exactly'' [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/2252853/lets-leeroy-it/ what happened."]]
47	* BluntYes: Used in World [3].
48	-->'''Twisted!Glandor''': ...Weren't you tied up?
49	-->'''Két''': Yes, I was.
50	* BoomHeadshot: Blair to one of Két's duplicates, [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/1977664/hit-em-right-between-the-eyes/ here.]]
51	* BreakingTheFourthWall: Két has, on more than one occasion, left the comic boundaries and hidden outside of the panels, or attacked from outside of them where her opponent can't see her. She is also constantly commenting on elements of the fourth wall.
52	* [[BreatherEpisode Breather World]]: World [7], Strato City, is one of these. Két takes full advantage of the fact that she has several hours to goof off before Phantom Thief Kiara (the assumed reason she's there) is supposed to show up to go shopping and take a nap. [[spoiler: As it turns out, Két herself is Phantom Thief Kiara, and her actual objective is to stop a fake.]]
53	* BrickJoke: [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/1947587/expressive/ Két does not have]] [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/1979476/you-still-dont-have-psychic-powers/ psychic powers.]]
54	* BriefcaseFullOfMoney: Well, bag full of valuable gemstones, but Két is able to ''triple'' Glandor's offer to Cendar using one of these.
55	* BringHimToMe: Silvena towards Két. Justified in that Silvena physically ''cannot'' leave World [O], and she seeks to invoke a GrandTheftMe on Két - in order to do this, Két has to be in World [O] with her.
56	* ButNowIMustGo: Két, whenever she completes her objective. Sometimes this happens in the presence of others, sometimes it doesn't. Két personally hates that she has to leave so suddenly like that.
57	* ByTheLightsOfTheirEyes: The room [[spoiler: Yamaha is being held in]] is like this when Két enters it. [[LampshadeHanging She immediately calls Niv out on it.]]
58	* TheCameo: Since a few of the worlds are submitted by fans, Két periodically runs into characters who are owned by other authors. So far we've seen:
59	** Muddy in World [4];
60	** Aqua in World [8];
61	** Rai, Agia, Frost, Drake, Sans, Haru and Et Cetera in World [10].
62	** Kazu in World [11].
63	* CallingYourAttacks: Muddy seems to think it's an essential part of battle, [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/1765470/not-what-youre-looking-for/ as seen here.]]
64	-->'''Két''': Do you ''really'' have to call your attacks?
65	-->'''Muddy''': Doesn't everyone?
66	* CentralTheme: [[spoiler:Sometimes, bad things happen, even to the best kinds people who do nothing but help others. Sometimes they happen because we're not strong enough to face them. Sometimes they happen because we're too late to prevent them. And sometimes they happen [[DiabolusExMachina just because]]. We can't control what life throws at us and how hard it can get; all we can do is continue to live our lives and move forward in memory of those who couldn't be saved.]]
67	* CharacterDevelopment: Certain events in the comics will cause Két to take certain actions later on down the line - for instance, Meta Knight informing her that it's better to keep a low profile when first arriving on any given world comes into play not only on World [3] - where she avoids giving out any personal information until she can come up with a good cover story - but in general, she tends towards using thought bubbles in her initial conversations with Niv when landing on a new world.
68	* ChekhovsGun: In World [3], Két mentions that she has a lot of money [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/1759016/bought-out/ because of her job.]] More than 100 comics later, in World [7], we find out [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/1942588/unmasked/ what her job]] [[PhantomThief is.]]
69	* ChekhovsSkill: Early on, Két sees Cream and Cheese deliver an [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/1716355/cream-and-cheese-scare-me/ offscreen beatdown]] on Dr. Eggman. Later on, she takes a page from their book and does the same to [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/1758227/lets-try-something-new/ a bunch of robots.]]
70	* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: The MacGuffin is a scarf with the power of destruction.
71	* ColonyDrop: In World [1], Cream and Cheese are helping look for the Chaos Emeralds because a meteor is headed towards the planet. They plan to have [[SuperMode Super Sonic and Super Shadow]] either destroy it or relocate it to a place it won't be able to cause damage.
72	* ComboPlatterPowers: Appears quite often. Most of the main cast have two (or more) abilities of some sort.
73	* CrosshairAware: A non-videogame example is used [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/1738064/caught-in-the-crosshairs/ here]]- when Cendar takes aim at Yamaha, Két sees the crosshairs and quickly directs him away from the line of fire.
74	* [[spoiler: {{Crossover}}: With The Dark Age of Mobius in World [6].]]
75	* CurbStompBattle: Most of Blair's fights wind up this way in his favor.
76	* CurseCutShort: Happens on occasion.
77	-->'''Digivice''': '''ATTENTION DIGIDESTINED'''
78	-->'''Damaru''': MOTHERFU-
79	* DefeatMeansFriendship: Blair seems to have this mindset, hence his affability towards Damaru and Silverado.
80	* DemonicPossession: World [9] introduces inhabiting, which Niv likens to this. Két can "inhabit" AudienceSurrogate characters, effectively possessing them and taking control of their actions. This is more akin to ghostly possession than demonic possession, though.
81	* DerailedForDetails: Constantly and consistently as Niv tries to explain to Két [[spoiler: the details about rp!Két.]]
82	* DramaticThunder: Apparently happens whenever [[spoiler: Abbadon]] says [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/1736042/dramatic-lightning/ his real name.]]
83	* DungeonBypass: Due to his lousy sense of direction, Blair is apparently fond of these.
84	* DynamicEntry: [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/2134090/this-is-how-i-show-my-love/ SAIL]]
85	* ElementalWeapon: One of Damaru's weapons is a whip that can create flames. He's had it since he was a little kid.
86	* EnemyMine: Két and Damaru are forced to team up in World [5] for two reasons. The first is that they're both stuck there until Két's objective is fulfilled. The second is that Damaru had become Két's Digidestined.
87	%%* EnergyWeapon: Cendar uses these.
88	* EveryManHasHisPrice: In the Twisted Anteria, Cendar and Rupph are mercenaries. Cendar's price is money while Rupph's is information.
89	* EveryoneIsASuper: World [13-X], AKA Trinus, suffers from this, to the point that many citizens are rather apathetic when villains appear and threaten them because either they can handle the situation themselves or someone will be along in about five seconds to do so for them.
90	* EveryScarHasAStory: Alongside [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/1985990/now-that-were-here-so-far-away/ this update]], Niv has released a 'Scar Map' for Két that shows where all of her scars are and how she got them. [[http://i.imgur.com/2i8wFDC.png She has way more than she's willing to show off]], and each and every one of them has a story behind it.
91	* EverythingTryingToKillYou: The forest that Két and Muddy have to go through is supposedly filled with things that try to kill them. Két even references the trope by name.
92	* ExcusePlot: Niv flat-out admits that the entire story is one of these so Két can explore the multiverse.
93	* FailureHero: [[spoiler:In the end, Ket fails to actually accomplish anything and dies alone and forgotten by the multiverse at large. It is RP!Ket who ends up being the hero and saving reality.]]
94	* FairyCompanion: Két is accompanied by Navi while she's inhabiting Link.
95	* FemaleFelineMaleMutt: Két and Damaru. Két's parents also fit this trope.
96	* FisherKingdom: Két changes form on occasion when world-hopping. She's not entirely happy about it. Damaru and Silverado occasionally suffer from it as well.
97	* {{Flashback}}: Surprisingly enough, ''Damaru and Silverado'' are the first to get one, explaining how they wound up sharing a body.
98	* FlashBackEcho: Used when someone is remembering something relevant to what they're talking about or experiencing.
99	* FlatJoy: When Niv informs Két that she has to stay in any given dimension until she's fulfilled her objective, [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/1710421/conditional-requirements/ this is her response.]]
100	* FlatWhat: The basis of Két's reaction to Cream being able to fly with her ears. It also comes up a lot while she's interacting with "Edgar Allen Poe".
101	* ForegoneConclusion: Damaru's flashback resulted in him becoming Silverado's host. However, the events leading up to this occurrence were largely unknown, so it's expanded on in the form of Damaru and Silverado explaining their predicament to Blair.
102	* {{Foreshadowing}}: Comic 50, done in an incredibly vague way.
103	** Sometimes, events in past worlds foreshadow events in future ones. For instance, Két being able to use her powers as a Gatomon is foreshadowed when she uses them as a Gaw Gaw.
104	** Niv periodically lets slip some details in her comments and responses, such as the fact that Két can revisit past worlds, and she periodically teases the audience with potential information, such as:
105	*** She let slip that Két would be visiting either the Mushroom Kingdom, world of Pokémon, Hyrule or Megaman's world in the future. World [9] is Hyrule. World [11] is Pokémon.
106	*** World [10] will apparently have a lot of fighting in it. It turns out to be a world hosting the obligatory TournamentArc.
107	* ForScience: Sanctum and Agia, ''SCIENCE BUDDIES''
108	* FrameBreak: While Két hasn't broken the panel borders themselves (...yet), she has jumped between them and at one point uses this to effectively clone herself.
109	** [[spoiler: rp!Két steals the honor of being the first person to break the panel barriers... by making a DynamicEntry ''through'' them.]]
110	* FunnyAnimal: Most of the main cast.
111	* GlobalCurrencyException: World [11], Treasure Town, uses the currency "Poke" because it's a Pokémon based world. This causes problems for [[spoiler: Silverado]], who wasn't aware of the exclusive currency until ''after'' purchasing and using something from there.
112	* GlowingEyes: Yamaha's eyes glow when his necromantic powers are keeping him stable. Rupph's eyes glow all the time.
113	* GoshdangItToHeck: Niv tends to avoid swearing because a younger audience might be reading the comic. As such, swearing is either fully censored (by being covered by other things), cut off by panel borders and other related things ("MOTHERFU", on multiple occasions), or replaced entirely (Niv's "what the fluff", Silverado's use of "squawk", and Ark's use of "pomph").
114	* GrandTheftMe: With a little help, Silverado does this to Damion. Damaru's personality appears to be the result of 40-odd years of dealing with Silverado and generally becoming jaded towards the world(s).
115	** And then it turns out that Silvena wants to do the same thing to Két.
116	* GunsVsSwords: Damaru vs Blair starts out this way, but it's quickly averted when Damaru starts using other weapons and Blair ditches the sword in favor of his powers.
117	* HeadsIWinTailsYouLose: Sanctum uses a rather literal version of this to mess with his opponents during the Freefire Tournament.
118	* HearingVoices: Két has Niv; Damaru has Silverado. While Két and Damaru are spending time together, Két brings this up (and lampshades it).
119	-->'''Két''': Meh, you're not the only one who hears voices.
120	-->'''Damaru''': Silverado's not a voice.
121	-->'''Két''': He tells you to do stupid things. He might as well be.
122	* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Sanctum really [[IncrediblyLamePun pushes the limit]] of what his powers can do.
123	* HighAltitudeBattle: In World [3], Rupph vs Két takes place in the sky so that stray attacks won't hit Cendar and Yamaha while ''they're'' fighting.
124	* HowDoIShotWeb: Played with- Két notes that when her form changes, she gains the abilities of whatever form she's in. The problem is that she has no idea how to use them. However, she also retains her normal powers, so she often doesn't bother with the new ones.
125	** This becomes a problem, however, when she's inhabiting Link, and has no idea how his abilities work or how she's supposed to use them, since she can't use her own in his body.
126	* HyperspaceArsenal: [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]] has access to one of these, so Két gets access to it while she's borrowing his body. It causes some problems for her; see RummageFail.
127	* HypocriticalHumor: Phantom Thief Kiara's impostor, a thief, gets upset when the real thing shows up and steals the gem that said impostor stole.
128	-->'''Fake Kiara''': You- You can't just steal it from me!
129	* IdiotBall: Silverado periodically holds it.
130	-->'''Damaru''': Of course, you ''do'' realize this means we have to chase after her now, right?
131	-->''{{Beat}}''
132	-->'''Silverado''': '''''SQUAWKING HELL!'''''
133	* INeedYouStronger: Silverado wants Két to become stronger so that, when the inevitable final encounter between himself, Damaru and her occurs, she'll be able to repel them so that Silvena won't win.
134	* InfiniteCanvas: Not usually used, but does show up in page 100 and other special pages like the Q&A special. Also comes into play whenever Két leaves the comic boundaries and floats around off-panel.
135	** Tends to happen a lot when [[spoiler:rp!Két and Jax]] appear.
136	* InterfaceSpoiler: Blair's presence on the Important Faces page indicated that he was a recurring character even before Két encountered him.
137	* IWarnedYou: Despite all of Két's warnings in regards to Blair, Aqua still manages to ignore the fact that he's a threat and turn his back on him to go talk to Két. This results in Blair following him and his StalkerWithACrush tendencies being revealed.
138	* LamePunReaction: Niv hits Két with a speech bubble after the latter, a cat, says she's going to take a catnap.
139	** It later gets reversed when, after Két hits Blair with a speech bubble and scolds him on his behavior, he says that her words "hurt him so." Két immediately calls Niv out on it, and she whines that she honestly didn't intend for that to happen.
140	* LethalJokeItem: Két quickly discovers that the Cane of Pacci is one of these when accidentally using it on the Poe renders him unable to move.
141	* LimitedWardrobe: Két decides this trope is stupid and goes shopping for new outfits in World [7].
142	* LoopholeAbuse: Damaru is the self-proclaimed master of this.
143	* LostInTransmission: When Két arrives in World [6], she and Niv have issues with this since [[spoiler: World [6] isn't her comic.]]
144	* MacGuffin: The scarf that Két is supposed to be looking for. [[spoiler: Turns out Silvena has it.]]
145	* MadLove: Két and Blair. Két ''repeatedly'' tells Blair she's not interested. He doesn't seem to understand.
146	* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Két receives a few potentially lethal injuries during her fight with Blair. Her reaction basically amounts to 'ow' and 'not again'. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in that she has BizarreAlienBiology, meaning it probably doesn't actually hurt as much as it would if she were human.
147	* MakingASplash: Part of Rupph's powerset. Muddy has this as well.
148	* MeanwhileBackAtThe: Meanwhile, back with these assholes...
149	* MeanwhileScene: Featuring Damaru and Silverado running into and meeting Blair.
150	* MindOverMatter: Glandor has this, along with {{Telepathy}}.
151	* MorphicResonance: On [[{{VideoGame/Kirby}} Pop Star]], Két becomes a Gaw Gaw, but still has her fur colors, fur pattern, and bow. [[spoiler:Which allows Meta Knight to recognize that she's not from their universe in the first place.]] This turns out to be a recurring thing, as when she goes to the [[{{Franchise/Digimon}} Digital World]], she turns into a Gatomon, again retaining her fur color, pattern, and bow.
152	** Damaru and Silverado seem to undergo this too, but only if it's absolutely necessary for them to blend in on a particular world, as evidenced by them remaining normal in the Digital World but being changed while on Pop Star.
153	* MrExposition: Niv is this at the beginning of the comic, to explain the basic plot and how Két's world-traveling will work.
154	** Damaru becomes this in World [5] when it comes to dimensional hijinks. Later, he explains to Blair why he's going after Két and how he and Silverado wound up together. The latter ends up becoming a flashback.
155	* TheMultiverse: The story takes place in one of these. Niv explains that there are dimensional barriers between universes, or "worlds", but they are fragile due to the Goddess of Destruction throwing the Scarf of Destruction through them.
156	* MurderTheHypotenuse: When Blair (wrongly) determines that Aqua is trying to steal Két (who is not interested) away from him, he decides that this is the obvious solution.
157	* {{Necromancer}}: Yamaha is one. He doesn't like to use the "raising zombies and skeletons from the dead" bit, though, rather relying on his necromantic abilities to keep him alive. [[TechnicolorFire And use black fire, apparently.]]
158	* NinjaProp: Két periodically uses speech bubbles as weapons or shields. This tends to confuse the people around her, so she only does it if she feels she needs to use her wall-powers to win a fight.
159	* NoFourthWall: Only in application to Két- she's perfectly aware of the fact that she's in a comic and is constantly looking at elements of the comic (such as speech bubbles and world boxes) to get information. However, everyone else- sans Niv, who is the AuthorAvatar- is unaware of the fourth wall.
160	* NoIndoorVoice: Damaru's Digivice is at such a high volume that Két has to cover her ears constantly when they're interacting with it. It's implied that this is because Damaru accidentally turned the volume on it up, though.
161	* NonFatalExplosions: Dana's specialty.
162	* NotSoDifferentRemark: A source of worry for Két when she meets [[spoiler: [[FutureMeScaresMe her rp self.]]]] It's not so much what she's capable of that scares Két - it's that, if presented with the same situation that she was, then Két believes she would make the same choices and turn into the same thing.
163	* NoodleIncident: Silverado somehow managed to insult an entire village with ''one sentence''.
164	* OffscreenCrash: Often used when characters either crash into each other or something else.
165	* OhCrap: Két has one [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/1777255/those-who-walk-before-us/ here.]] It tuns out to be because Blair is in the comic.
166	** And then another one when she first lands [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/2005184/climbing-out-the-back-door-didnt-leave-a-mark/ in World [O].]] It's because Silvena's there, and Silvena seeks to make Két's body her own.
167	** When she's finally safe and sound in World [9], Niv reveals the message she was trying to deliver but Két was refusing to listen to while in World [O] - [[spoiler: Silvena has the [[MacGuffin scarf.]]]]
168	* OneWordTitle
169	* OrphanedPunchline: Done [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/2000867/construct/ here]], revealing that Két literally cannot know the context behind these due to the fact that she can't see the rest of the joke.
170	* PaintingTheMedium: When Niv goes AFK during World [9], her author comments simply become "[currently afk]". Come World [10], she stops making author comments altogether.
171	* OvershadowedByAwesome: [[spoiler:Turns out having the RealityWarper and fourth wall powers of an Aware doesn't amount to much when your opponent is a NighInvulnerable PhysicalGod who can erase your soul with but a touch...]]
172	* PercussiveMaintenance: Niv attempts this on her computer when she loses contact with Két in World [6].
173	* PhantomThief: Kiara, naturally.
174	* PictorialSpeechBubble: Két's speech bubbles have had pictures in them on two separate occasions - [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/1740653/ambush/ here]] and [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/1826120/that-didnt-last-long/ here.]]
175	* PlayAlongPrisoner: Két allows herself to be captured by Rupph in World [3] so she can get more information on what's going on. While captive, she talks to the guy in charge, tricks him into revealing information about himself, casually frees herself, then makes a break for it while he's distracted with exposition.
176	* PoorCommunicationKills: Franchise/{{Kirby}} attacks Két because of her appearance, as she'd changed forms to look like a common enemy to better fit in on Pop Star.
177	* PsychicBlockDefense: Két has one of these, as seen [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/1749837/block/ here.]] She doesn't seem to know the cause of it, though, indicating that someone else put it there.
178	* TheQuest: The basic outline of the story.
179	* RapidAging: While we don't get to see it, Damau explains that this is why he looks 20 years old instead of the 10 he did before on [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/1864478/context-is-key/ this page.]]
180	* ReadingAheadInTheScript: Done in reverse - due to the WebComic format, Két can't read ahead. However, she can read ''back'' and look at updates she's not in to get an idea of what's going on. This comes in handy when she's absent for 40 pages.
181	* RedEyesTakeWarning: Twisted!Glandor's eyes are red to help indicate that he's evil.
182	** While on World [6], Két notes that the residents should have had trust issues with the current antagonist due to the whites of his eyes being red.
183	** Sanctum either [[AvertedTrope averts]] this or plays it straight. It seemed that he was averting it initially, what with his friendly disposition and love of science, but then [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/2070111/that-which-does-not-belong/ this page]] happened. [[spoiler: HOLY HELL, HE PLAYS IT [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/2090930/sanctums-wish/ SO VERY]] [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/2091362/demonic-intent/ STRAIGHT.]]]]
184	* RideTheLightning: Rupph is capable of this.
185	* RougeAnglesOfSatin: Mercilessly parodied on [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/2001160/rogue-angles-of-satin/ this page.]]
186	* RuleOfPerception: Thanks to her powers, Két can take advantage of these.
187	* RummageFail: Két has difficulty accessing Link's inventory properly, resulting in her pulling out the Cane of Pacci, Bombs, the Cane of Pacci ''[[RunningGag again]]'', and the Boomerang while trying to get to Link's sword.
188	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Silverado wisely dispels himself when Blair insists on having a sparring match against Damaru. Két later pulls it when Aqua confronts Blair, leaving a sign that says "Dude, you're on your own."
189	* SeparateSceneStorytelling: Két tricks Twisted!Glandor into telling her about why he wears a cloak with one of these. She uses the fact that she's off-panel during it to run away.
190	* ShockAndAwe: The other part of Rupph's powerset.
191	* ShoutOut:
192	** When Muddy tells Két that everything tries to kill you in the forest he's trying to get through, Két asks, [[VideoGame/IWannaBeTheGuy "Even the delicious fruit?"]]
193	** [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} "Look at me, still talking when there's science to do!"]] [[MemeticMutation "'Cake is a lie' jokes in three, two..."]]
194	** "...Blood orange?" [[Series/ProjectRunway "Shut up, it's pomphing red."]]
195	** The premise is similar to ''Series/QuantumLeap'', though Niv claims this was accidental.
196	** "Can't let you do that, [[VideoGame/StarFox Star Bot!]]
197	** [[VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising "Sorry to keep you waiting!"]]
198	* SilentSceneryPanel: There's basically always one or two of these at the start of each world as Két appears in it, but World [O] takes the cake with ''five'' of them.
199	* SlidingScaleOfFourthWallHardness: Varies based on who's around. When Két and Niv are talking it's at its softest, Két on her own is a bit harder, and when Két's not around there isn't much in the way of wall-breaking at all.
200	* {{Smurfing}}: Silverado replacing most swear words with some variation of 'Squawk'. Ark also seems to replace swear words with 'pomph'.
201	* SnarkToSnarkCombat: The basics of Két and Damaru's interaction when they're not attacking each other.
202	* SoWhatDoWeDoNow: Niv runs into this problem when [[spoiler: Két lands in The Dark Age of Mobius.]] She can't just progress the storyline freely since [[spoiler: it's not her comic]], but skipping ahead would be awkward to work with. She ends up [[NoFourthWall turning to the audience for advice.]]
203	* SpeechBubblesInterruption: Happens on occasion, often to cover swearing. At one point in time, Niv actually covers Két's speech bubbles due to how enraged the latter is about landing in World [8].
204	* SpeedEchoes: Thanks to her powers as an aware, Két can use this effect to clone herself. She does it [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/1963276/k-t-intensifies/ here]], then promptly [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/1964834/lets-bounce/ adjusts her transparency]] so she's no longer an 'afterimage'.
205	* SpitTake: Két has one [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/1927935/news-to-me/ here.]] Niv admits that the entire reason she had Két get coffee was to do this.
206	* SuddenDownerEnding: [[spoiler:While ultimately more bittersweet than a total downer, the ending is surprisingly dark compared to how the tone was for a majority of its run.]]
207	* TakeAThirdOption: When presented with a hostage situation, Két prefers to remove the "hostage" variable.
208	* TalkingIsAFreeAction: Played with. Két will often talk or make comments during a battle, but maintain actually fighting her opponent while doing so. However, she sometimes forgets to do the "continue fighting her opponent" part, leading to [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/1966386/its-all-in-the-perspective/ some frustration from other parties.]]
209	** Comes to a head [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/1981308/talking-is-not-a-free-action/ when Két, one of her duplicates, and Aqua talk while Blair sets up his next attack off panel.]] He promptly calls them out on it.
210	* TechnicolorEyes: Since Aware is highly based in fantasy, several characters have oddly colored eyes, such as Damaru who has purple eyes and Blair who has pink eyes. In fact, Két herself appears to be an odd one out amongst the main cast, as she simply has blue eyes. Niv having brown eyes is an exception due to her being an AuthorAvatar.
211	* {{Telepathy}}: Glandor has it. Két is immune to it [[spoiler: thanks to The Benefactor.]]
212	* TemptingFate: Despite her genre-savviness, there are times when Két tempts fate due to frustration or annoyance. Niv lampshades that she should really know better.
213	** Muddy does it when Két agrees to escort him on Starlo. [[spoiler: Damaru's first official appearance happens three comics later.]]
214	* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Két's reaction to the fact that Damaru has become her Digidestined in World [5].
215	-->'''Két''': ...Someone out there hates me.
216	* TitleDrop: Niv manages to get one in while Két's in World [9].
217	-->'''Niv''': Iunno, plot? The comic's called "Aware", so...
218	* TournamentArc: World [10], Freefire Square, hosts the Freefire Tournament. Két gets roped into being the judge.
219	* TranslationPunctuation: Any language is translated with the use of value signs (<Like so>) with a note about what it's translated from. This allows [[FourthWallObserver Két]] to essentially understand any language, and even speak it if she puts her own text into brackets.
220	* TraumaCongaLine: [[spoiler:The entire story was one for Comic!Ket. She's forced to go on a perilous quest that she never wanted to go on based on the whims of her eccentric Author, is constantly belittled, beat up or otherwise humiliated wherever she goes, nothing she does or tries to accomplish ever amounts to anything, she's forced to relive the senseless murder of her childhood friend, and ultimately dies an utterly pathetic UndignifiedDeath against a villain she never had any hope of defeating.]]
221	* TreeCover: Meta Knight first appears hiding like this. Since it's [[MediumAwareness Két]] he's hiding from, it's not a very effective hiding spot.
222	* UnconventionalFormatting: Some characters use different fonts to emphasize that there's something different about them. Rupph, who is made of data, begins all of her speech bubbles with a ">" and uses a more formal font. Various robotic characters and devices will use a more mechanical font. Niv's narration bubbles use the Courier font, despite that her speech bubbles are normal, to indicate that she's sending them VIA computer messages. Silvena also uses a different font, perhaps to emphasize her more supernatural nature. Phantom Thief Kiara has a different font as well. [[spoiler: She does it intentionally to disguise her voice.]]
223	* UnsoundEffect: Some of the sound effects are somewhat... nonstandard. Highlights include "coffee spit", "sword noise", and "offscreen crash".
224	* VisibleSilence: Now and again, usually when characters are dumbfounded.
225	* WeWillSpendCreditsInTheFuture: "Credits" are the Anterian currency.
226	* WhamLine: Delivered by Silverado [[http://aware.smackjeeves.com/comics/2207879/heed-my-warning/ here:]] "We've had those orders for '''''three years."'''''
227	* WhiteVoidRoom: World [W], the White Space world that Niv resides in.
228	* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: Averted- Damaru tends to solve a lot of his problems by shooting them.
229	-->'''Két''': Do you solve ''all'' of your problems by shooting them?
230	-->'''Damaru''': Yeah, basically.
231	* WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises: Used often to display shock or fear.
232	* TheWorfEffect: Damaru suffers this when he meets Blair.
233	* WrittenSoundEffect: Used quite often.
234	* WrongContextMagic: Két retains her wall-awareness and her [[BlowYouAway aerokinesis]] no matter what world she's on. This gives her an explicit advantage in places like the Digital World, where her aerokinesis gave her the edge over an Ultimate level Digimon - an opponent that an ordinary Gatomon, whose form she'd taken to fit in, would have a lot of difficulty fighting.
