Webcomic: Paradox

A BL webcomic about two guys, Tommy and Dake, from opposing factions. They are both taken prisoner and sold as slaves. Dake is bought by a cool rich lady, but Tommy is bought by an Eldritch Abomination.

Tropes included:

All There in the Manual: The Wikia is a good source of information about the characters... as long as you don't mind Spoilers aplenty.
Ambiguous Innocence: Utisz is supposedly not evil but innocent.
- Psychopathic Manchild
- Immortality Immorality
Badass Grandpa: Horus.
The Big Guy: Dake. Loves his sweets and possesses borderline Super Strength.
Belligerent Sexual Tension: Tommy and Dake.
Demonic Possession: Utisz needs a human body to live in, since this offers some protection from sunlight.
Depraved Bisexual: Jack. Doesn't stop him from being hot as hell, though.
Eldritch Abomination: Utisz certainly thinks he's this. However, unless he's been hiding it well, he's nowhere near as powerful as most examples.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Hidukul
Heterosexual Life Partners: Horus and Hidukul.
Hot Dad: YMMV, Hidukul.
Hooker with a Heart of Gold: Tommy . . . Sort of.
Obfuscating Stupidity: Horus.
- Blade Below The Shoulder, anyone?
Our Souls Are Different: Color-Coded for Your Convenience, no less.
- Blue: Good souls that can pass on without regrets.
- Yellow: Morally ambiguous souls that have sinned, but can still find redemption.
- Red: Evil souls beyond hope.
Names to Run Away From Really Fast: Cain. Subverted since the man himself is a Nice Guy Woobie - the real problem is Utisz.
Never Found the Body: Draco.
Technical Pacifist: Dake.
Really Gets Around: Tommy.
- Actually an odd case. Tommy is actually borderline Asexual - sex isn't really that big of a deal for him. A case of Truth in Television since not everyone who engages in wanton consensual sex actually enjoys it.
Rape As Backstory: Hidukul.
Seme: Averted. The author went out of her way to make the main pairing as equal as possible.
Start of Darkness: Utisz was a neutral being whose job was to carry souls to their destination; that is until he accidentally swallowed one.
- ...though this happened after he met Tommy's Hot Mom and fell for her hard.
Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Jack
Uke: Averted. See Seme, above.
Yandere: Cain believes Utisz is this for Tommy. He's not. It's Tommy's dead mother he's crazy for.
You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Literally in the case of Dake.
