Wayrift is an online manga-styled fantasy comic, based loosely off of the old skool SNES version of the RPG, 'Final Fantasy IV'. This comic has been ongoing for nearly a decade and has over 1,000 pages of archived artwork!Wayrift is a collaboration of two writers/artist, Aywren and Syntyche, who are also real-life best friends. They work to host a welcoming community of writers and artists through the Wayrift comment system and online forum.
Alternate Universe: The Blue Star dimension and the Dark Star dimension.
Art Evolution: The earliest art is much more soft and fluffy and round. Though the very first pages were re-drawn, it goes back into the fluffy style and then slowly progresses.
Badass Long Hair: Ben, Zeb, Aiden, Zemi.... It seems like all the ultra-megapowerful characters have awesome long hair.
Beware the Nice Ones: Ben, Aiden, and a few others are honestly really nice people. However, if you put someone they care about in danger, you're probably gonna die.
And it states in the script (though it isn't actually drawn) that Leona does this after being freed from the Hunter.
Doppelgänger: Ben and Zeb, DS Cecil and BS Cecil, Aiden Klu Ya and M. Klu Ya (I do believe the "M" stands for "Manly")... Thanks to the Alternate Universe thing going on, many people have doubles.
Earth-that-Was: The Lunar planet of Runne was destroyed.
Embarrassing First Name: Both Ben and Zeb choose to go by their middle name or nick name to avoid using their actual first name, Golbez.
Human Aliens: The Lunars. And the Nefolians, but they're just older Lunars.
I Call It Vera: Tai's Dullafn, Cecil Harvey's Legend, Ben's Onyx, Aiden's Sj’kudwe, Zeb's Unnamed and Zemi's Drei’Llafn (though I believe Word Of God says that he got rid of it.)
Intermission: The nine page Hunter's Intermission comic before Chapter 18 should count for this.
Is This Thing On?: Cecil's mic check before the Baron Airship Race goes on for like the first four pages in chapter 31 before Ben goes up to the stage to check on him.
Left the Background Music On: One one page, Leona starts to hum "Golbez, Clad in Darkness" to Ben. This is, of course, his theme song in the game.
She Is Not My Girlfriend: Ben often claims this about Leona. It's the other way around when people tease Leona about Ben being her boyfriend. However almost Everyone Can See It.
Shifting Sand Land: Tai ends up on the outskirts of Damcyan, which happens to be in the middle of the desert in this page, when Zemi ends up sending him to the Blue Planet.
Skunk Stripe: Tsu used to have this. It acted as a reminder that he was a slave to Zerom, but not entirely. It seems that it re-appears whenever he goes fully Marked. Junior also has a stripe, and is occasionally referred to as a skunk, but the rest of his hear is a light blonde color.
Supernatural Gold Eyes: Averted. It's been stated that in DS Baron gold eyes are thought to be able to see the truth. Chase has these, along with the Truth Vision. Tai currently has them as well, as an outward symbol of his servitude to Zemi. Chase's eyes are also a symbol of his (somewhat unknowing) sevitude to Zemi.
Sword and Sorcerer: Ben & Leona, Tai & Zeb, Tai & Zazo, Cecil & Ben, Cecil & Zeb
Tearjerker: Just try to read through Ben's retelling of what happened to Joran without tearing up a little.
The Atoner: Ben and Zeb can certainly apply to this.
