Felarya is an independently published Manga-esque comic distributed via the Internet. It takes place in the titular world of Felarya: a dangerous world were humans are hardly at the top, frequently hunted by predatory fauna and flora, as well as much larger sentient humanoid species. In the manga, the storyline prominently features a giant naga, Crisis, and her acquaintances.
Note: The comic features heavy vorarephilia themes, and those not into it might be somewhat put off. Much of the content is Not Safe For Work, as many images contain nudity.
The world is owned exclusively by the creator, Karbo, and those who write or draw Felaryan related things must follow his specifications and rules on his forum.
This series provides examples of:
- Alien Sky: Varies, depending mainly on what sun and moon(s) are currently in place.
- Always A Bigger Fish: One of the defining traits of Felarya- if you think you're safely at the top of the food chain, think again.
- Another Dimension: Many other worlds/planes, from which things tend to be taken and dumped into Felarya at random. Crafted magical portals, advanced technology, ancient artifacts, etc makes travel to and from other worlds possible.
- Attack Of The Fifty Foot Whatever: With huge creatures and races commonplace in the setting, a threat from something giant isn't so much an unlikely occurrence.
- Author Appeal: Nudity, macro, and vorarephilia-geared content features prominently.
- A Wizard Did It: Many inconsistencies are HandWaved this way. For example, everyone appears to speak the same language due to a translation spell affecting the realm in most places.
- Alternate Character Interpretation: Try to find a story that doesn't have at least one of these in it.
- Back From The Dead: The former human Anna Demorah's second lease on life as a giant naga.
- Balloon Belly: With stuffing an interest tied in with vore, inevitably there are depictions of big belly bulges on satisfied predators.
- Bare Your Midriff: Of the few characters who actually do wear clothes, there is maybe one woman among them whose clothes conceal her stomach.
- Berserk Button: Anna Demorah instantly goes into a violent rage when people damage her machines or smoke in front of her. Supposedly, Hilarity Ensues.
- Big Creepy Crawlies: Fauna such as tonorions, cryoks and spine beetles, as well as dridders, mantoids and other bug-based races.
- Cat People
- Carnivore Confusion: A lot of the characters that eat people are really nice otherwise. It isn't odd for the predators to exchange words with their prey.
- Cheeky Mouth
- Conveniently An Orphan: The sheer danger of the world easily justifies a lack of family ties for characters- Crisis never even met her parents, having hatched alone in a cave.
- Cool Sword: Verdant Fury, wielded by Alvar the blind fairy swordsman.
- Cute Monster Girls: Very large ones.
- Crossover: Many characters are from other worlds/unpublished franchises.
- Continuity Snarl: While Karbo retains sole ownership rights, he puts great interest in the community and allowing their works to become canon. Sometimes, this leads to interesting pile-ups of character traits, stone's throw neighbors going unnoticed for years at a time, technological / cultural progression / regression of the natives, etcetera.
- Crystal Dragon Jesus: Mainly the Othemites and their "Sun God", Oth.
- Crossover Cosmology: Pretty much justified by the fact that no religions are true. Rather, angels in Heaven model different sections of it after different religions' respective afterlives. Powerful enough angels will take the names of gods and act in their stead.
- Death World: The setting is often considered too dangerous for any sensible person to visit without very good reason. Everything Trying To Kill You also works here.
- Delicious Distraction: Commonly a view portrayed by giants of humans or nekos they may run into, nekos of tinies, etc.
- Disability Superpower: The fairy swordsman Alvar's blindness prevents him from being lured by appearances or caught off-guard by sneak attacks, as well as being immune to most illusions.
- Dis Continuity: The first official, published Felarya novel, "Crisis & Scarecrow" is considered so full of Character Derailment, so unlike Felarya, and generally just so offensive to read, at least 90% of the active community likes to pretend it never happened and will jump to stamp out any mention of its existence. In fact, this troper is probably going to get yelled at just for mentioning it.
- The canonity of the second novel, "Felarya Legends: The Man from Nowhere" is, to this day, still a mystery.
- Fanon: You'll find loads of this on the official forums. There's even an entire subforum dedicated to the discussion and formation of it.
- Everythings Squishier With Cephalopods: The races chlaena and cecaelias, octopus and squid hybrids, respectively.
- The Fair Folk: Despite looking like the sweet, generic modern fairies, Felaryan ones have the alien concept of morals that the traditional ones have.
- Fantastic Racism: Nekos are discriminated against by humans for their predatory nature. Harpies and sphinxes have a long-lasting conflict of superiority. A historic war between the half-spider dridders and the half-snake nagas has long since ended, but racial tension remains.
- Fetish Fuel Future: Felarya's fetish-centered origin remains a defining flavor of the world.
- Food Porn: An odd example of literal food porn.
- Gadgeteer Genius: Anna Demorah.
- Gag Boobs: Find a reference to the naga Vivian that doesn't involve a joke about her breasts. I dare you.
- Half Human Hybrid: Many of the races are tauric or demihuman animal hybrids.
- Humans Are Bastards: Subverted. Though many non-human characters hold this view, many human characters are actually decent people.
- Humanity Ensues: Many stories use this as a basic premise. May cause a change of heart if a giant predator is turned human.
- Im A Humanitarian: Humanoids eating other humanoids.
- Interspecies Romance: Harpies are a One Gender Race, but they can reproduce by mating with males of other humanoid species. Vivian the omnisexual giant naga isn't likely to take something like species into account too much if a similarly-sized humanoid might be up for some fun.
- Innocent Fanservice Girl: Mostly justified, as many characters simply too large to wear clothes. Naturally, this means the work focuses more on giant-sized females.
- Memetic Sex Goddess: Vivian is arguably one of the most attractive giant nagas in Felarya. (Though it's kind of hard to tell, since nearly every female character in Felarya seems rather well-endowed.) She uses a combination of magic and her "Natural Gifts" (though some would say that it is mostly the latter) to seduce/enchant her victims.
- Monster Mash
- Negative Space Wedgie: How the aforementioned Gadgeteer Genius was given her new form as a naga. (I guess you could call it a naga-tive space wedgie?)
- Older Than They Look: Growing up here means you don't age past natural physical prime, effectively immortal (not invincible). Thus the genuinely young may be virtually indistinguishable from the deceptively old.
- One Gender Race: All-female races include the bird-based harpies and razias, bee-hybrid miaxi and wasp-based gyspas, nemiseses, succubi and 'slug-girls' which despite their name and outward appearance, are hermaphroditic. Razias function similarly. The breeding methods of nemeses has never been explained.
- Only Six Faces: It's even more difficult to tell characters apart when their constantly naked bodies are as identical as their faces.
- Our Monsters Are Different: Many races are based on mythology, such as harpies, sphinxes, fairies and merfolk. They're different in that many of them are upwards of fifty feet tall
- Our Monsters Are Weird: Some of the fauna can be really strange.
- Petting Zoo People: Fairies and most nekos.
- The Pornomancer: Again, Vivian. Of course, having magic also helps.
- Powers That Be: Felarya is guarded by several entities, the Guardians of Felarya. Not much is known of them, and they tend to show themselves only when the existance of the realm as a whole is threatened.
- Physical God: Again, the Guardians.
- Reptiles Are Abhorrent: Averted (so long as the reptile is half an attractive woman).
- Red Shirt: Any adventurer not given a name is almost guaranteed to die at some point.
- Series Mascot: Crisis is considered the mascot of the universe.
- Smart People Play Chess: The giant succubus Menyssan may agree to relinquish your soul instead of snacking on it, merely by defeating her at a bout of chess. It's not surprising she'd agree to a contest that plays to her strengths as a master strategist- she is a demon after all.
- Sure Why Not: Many ideas, characters and locales created by fans have been integrated into canon. Fanon regarding the nature of the world itself is often accepted by the creator.
- Sweat Drop
- Underwater City: Rhyzelm'oire.
- What Measure Is A Non Human: When a great deal of non-human sentient races are notoriously known as man-eaters, there is no doubt a strong bias against such predators on their behalf.
- The human Telekline's opinion of what a naga is: "A belly-dragging, fork-tongued mountain of evil stuffed inside a pretty face!"
- When Trees Attack: Carnivorous plants being abundant, don't be surprised when you're dragged underneath what looked like a harmless tree by its roots.. Or discovering too late a giant dryad that's been looming over you.
- Why Did It Have To Be Snakes: Ironically, this applies to the half-snake naga Crisis. She's completely phobic of tonorions- magic-shrugging, armored, spiked, carnivorous giant insects- having experienced a nearly fatal encounter with one in the past. Despite being a feared predator and being quite able to take care of herself, she totally loses her wits about them- even comparably tiny ones frighten her.
- The Wiki Rule: The creator has a wiki (NSFW) for canonical characters and stories.
- Word Of God: The creator, Karbo, is quite involved in the community and has a tendency to discuss ideas presented in the community and accept/reject Fanon.
