History Webcomic / SixGunMage

* LeftHanging: Every plot line that wasn't directly tied to [=Xanthe/The White Witch=] was left in limbo in the end. Renault is still around trying to reform The Circle. The male elf is still around scheeming to regain the Elven Empire's lost power. We have no idea what Ravena did to [[spoiler: bring Sierra back to life]] or if [[spoiler: Kyle and Zeits

daughter" is their real daughter or even human]].

* NoEnding: Hazelton decided to cut things off after Chapter 99. So the story ends with a (very) brief epilogue after the defeat of the White Witch.

* BareYourMidriff: Kylie, ever so much. Even her military uniform.

* WhatCouldGoWrong: Sure, Kylie, [[spoiler:try to sneak into bed with the guy who clearly has issues because of a lifetime as a freedom fighter/terrorist in order to try and get him to sleep with you. Frankly, she's lucky she only got choked out a bit before he came to.]]

* VengeanceFeelsEmpty: Double-Subverted; Zeits [[http://www.6gunmage.com/comic/page-16-7 admits that vengeance is extremely fulfilling]] - but the second it's over, life becomes a hungering void for more.
-->It's a trap. If you live your life around revenge and then you get it... [[SoWhatDoWeDoNow what do you do then]]? [[AdrenalineJunkie I spent years trying to get back to that same high]], but you never do. [[spoiler:I became [[TheDreaded Dullahan Cas]] and [[RevengeBeforeReason lost myself trying to reclaim that feeling]]]]. I lost sight of the bigger fight: what was really important.

* AchievementsInIgnorance: Geofry didn't know that gunmages can't use repeaters without killing themselves due to CastFromHitPoints, so he created a repeater that somehow doesn't have that limitation.
** It's possible that's got more to do with Kylie than the repeater itself, though. Perhaps she is more than "just" a gunmage?
** Recent chapters confirm that there's way more to Kylie than meets the eye.

%%%* {{Animesque}}

* BrilliantButLazy UnskilledButStrong: Kylie did not do well in Gunmage academy because she was bored, and the fact that all her instructors thought the best way to educate her was just to yell orders at her, until she became Geofry's apprentice, and he got her to do what he wanted by making it fun for her, even testing experimental gun-mage weapons.
%%%* TheBlacksmith: Geofry.

%%%%* HomingProjectile: One of Kylie's powers.

%%%%* PosthumousCharacter: [[spoiler:Geofry]]

%%%%* RetiredBadass: Colonel Renault .

%%%%* ScrewYouElves: They're extinct.

* UnskilledButStrong: Eeven though Kylie's only mastered very few gun-mage techniques, she is one of the most powerful gun-mages in the story, capable of using weapons, and enduring things that would leave most other gun-mages comatose or dead.

''[[http://6gunmage.com 6 Gun Mage]]'' is a {{Weird West}}ern by Chris Hazelton of ''Webcomic/{{Misfile}}''. It stars Kylie, a [[ImprobableAimingSkills gun]][[StuffBlowingUp mage]] who has to keep her powers secret because she's on the run from [[TheMagocracy the Circle]] and gets a job as a hired gun.

* VengeanceFeelsEmpty: Averted. Zeits [[http://www.6gunmage.com/comic/page-16-7 admits]] that fulfilling his [[BestServedCold long-held]] vengeance against [[spoiler:the Manhunter who slaughtered his family and hometown]] was '''the most satisfying experience of his life''' - and ''that'' was the problem.
-->It's a trap. If you live your life around revenge and then you get it... [[SoWhatDoWeDoNow what do you do then]]? I spent years trying to get back to that same high, but you never do.

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Dullan Cas. A terrifying, deadly skilled rebel with some form of mysterious powers. Named after The Headless Horseman.

* BrilliantButLazy [=/=] UnskilledButStrong: Amazingly, Kylie's both, and she lampshades it. She did not do well in Gunmage academy because she was bored, and the fact that all her instructors thought the best way to educate her was just to yell orders at her, until she became Geofry's apprentice, and he got her to do what he wanted by making it fun for her, even testing experimental gun-mage weapons. On the other hand, even though she's only mastered very few gun-mage techniques, she is one of the most powerful gun-mages in the story, capable of using weapons, and enduring things that would leave most other gun-mages comatose or dead.
