)

* '''Reinheardt D'Timaun:''' A showoffy [[OurElvesAreBetter Daunlyn]] swordsman.

* TheFairFolk: Fey are split into two groups - the Lesser Fey, which are [[WhoWantsToLiveForever semi-mortal]] and [[OurElvesAreBetter elf-like]]; there are three types: the Daunlyn, the Daelyn, and the Dusklyn - and the True Fey, who follow the more traditional Celtic-mythology rules for their kind.

* OurElvesAreBetter: Technically they're TheFairFolk, but the Lesser Fey are generally called Elves in casual conversation.

* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: Princess Amandelita, AKA "Mandei", daughter of the human king.

* AlwaysChaoticEvil: How [[HumansAreBastards Dolmo]] views monstrous races, how the Daunlyn and Daelyn view the Dusklyn (not without merit in some cases), and a few other situations.

* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Ulrich the Dragon King is not content to [[OrcusOnHisThrone sit on his throne]] when he learns of Dolmo's rampaging, and immediately leads the expedition to the Temple of Eons to consult the daemon Voras. [[spoiler:The human leader, King Oveirbon, starts out a subversion... but once he discovers his RebelliousPrincess has allied with the monsters and even had herself changed into one he becomes significantly more active. Especially since [[ItGotWorse It Gets Worse shortly after]].]]

The main reason for this? Almost all of the main characters are [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman monstrous or otherwise non-human in nature]]. The story begins in a [[HiddenElfVillage small mountain village]] of [[OurOrcsAreDifferent orcs]] and [[AllTrollsAreDifferent trolls]], save for one adopted inhabitant: [[CuteMonsterGirl Anya, an abandoned Harpy]] raised by the villagers. When [[HeWhoFightsMonsters General Rubeus Dolmo]], [[HumansAreBastards xenophobic]] [[AxCrazy leader]] of the King's army, is alerted by his scouts of the village's existence and a trove of stolen weapons used by the orcs' half-executed excuse for a local militia, he leads a force to [[DoomedHometown assault the village and kill its inhabitants]], forcing Anya and two of her friends to flee. With only a [[MacGuffin mysterious amulet bearing unreadable runes]] as their hint as to why Dolmo attacked or where to go, the trio [[WalkingTheEarth sets out into the world]] to meet their [[TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive destinies]]... [[OrIsIt but it may not be that simple]].

* InvoluntaryShapeshifting: Transformation magic is used regularly within the story, for various reasons ranging from creating monstrous super-soldiers to crippling an enemy to granting a wish.

''Random Encounter'' is a theoretical WebComic idea by {{Axioanarchist}}. Originally an idea for a game, that idea was eventually scrapped - between competing ideas for other games and a frustration with trying to make appropriate sprites, mostly.
