* EyeScream: At the end of their fight in the street, [[spoiler:Chelsea cuts Elgie's face open with his own knife, damaging his left eye.]]

** EvenEvilHasStandards: Elgie will murder all the adults you want him to, but children are off limits for ''anything''. And most of the people he kills are utter depraved lunatics or total bastards...[[CrowningMomentOfSadness MOST]]
* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: Alice jumps all over the place on this. Her girls are well-fed and making more money (both for her and themselves) than ever, but she also engages in child prostitution, and got her position by hiring a man to kill her predecessor's husband, and taking over when she broke down.

* ImpaledPalm:

* NamesToRunAwayFrom/NotoriousKillers: Elgie is referred to by the surname of "Mr. Ripper" early on in the series, and [[CanonImmigrant the story from which he originated]] connected him to the Jack the Ripper murders. [[spoiler:The author's commentary places this story as [[CanonDiscontinuity non-canon]] to ''Chimneyspeak'']].

* ShootYourFriend: The cause of Elgie's BadDreams.

* VillainProtagonist: Elgie.

** EvenEvilHasStandards: Elgie will murder all the adults you want him to, but children are off limits for ''anything''.

* DisproportionateRetribution: Why did Chelsea slaughter her way through England, find her way to America, and start killing her way through town (twice), racking up enough wounds that she has more scar tissue than non? Elgie ran past her one night and accidentally tripped her, causing her to fall and get a small scar on her face. She went ''ballistic''.
** Don't forget her romp through OZ.

* TattooAsCharacterType: The Russian mobsters have large tattoos on their arms and hands as a status symbol.

** Chelsea's survived being impaled and having multiple point blank gunshots to the chest and torso.
* MadeOfPlasticine: Bit characters. Chelsea or Elgie are both more than capable of ripping or cutting an InnocentBystander in half without breaking a sweat.

* {{Determinator}}: Chelsea's murderous insanity (more specifically, the personality that embodies that insanity) drives her to get up and keep going, no matter how badly she's hurt.

** Suka had a pretty good one as well [[spoiler: after Alice's husband left her.]]

Chimneyspeak (first comic [[http://chimneyspeak.com/archives/450 here]]) is a NSFW webcomic taking place in America and England during the late 1800's. It focuses mostly on Elgie, a [[PintsizedPowerhouse midget enforcer]], and Chelsea Grinn, a completely insane serial killer out for Elgie's blood.

Known for jumping between NSFW due to the violence, and due to the sex. The author also publishes a number of side stories which expand on the background of the setting, which cost a modest fee.

* GreyAndGrayMorality: Apparently, random murder is ok, but pimping kids isn't.

-->'''Chelsea:''' These men will be remembered as heroes. These men that shot blindly into the smoke. These men that screamed and cried and ran. These men who couldn't kill one little girl. Honestly, I'm disappointed. Are these the best soldiers that England has to offer?
-->'''Highlander:''' Aye, lass. Those were the best that ''England'' has tae offer.
* ScarsAreForever: All of Chelsea's scars, but most importantly the first one. Justified, she's a noblewoman, and delicate skin scars very easily.

* DrowningMySorrows: Elgie does this enough that one of his alcohol hallucinations is practically a character of her own.

* ImplacableMan: Chelsea [[{{Determinator}} cannot be stopped]]. Shooting her just pisses her off.

* MadeOfPlasticine: Bit characters. Chelsea or Elgie are both more than capable of ripping pr cutting an InnocentBystander in half without breaking a sweat.

* EyeScream: At the end of their fight in the street, [[spoiler:Chelsea cuts Elgie's face open with his own knife, damaging his left eye.]]

* ImplacableMan: Chelsea [[{{Determinator}} ''cannot'' be stopped.]] Shooting her just pisses her off.

* MadeOfIron: Most of the main characters. Elgie is two feet tall, and shrugged off having a horse thrown at him.
* MadeOfPlasticine: Bit characters. Chelsea or Elgie are both more than capable of ripping an InnocentBystander in half without breaking a sweat.

* BilingualBonus: Suka's Russian (which is pretty accurate) and her tattoos.
** Also, the fairy Elgie hallucinates.

--> '''Suka:''' Are you sad? '''Why are you sad!? Mikhael! Kill everyone!'''

* FanService: Suka and Alice. Chelsea is more [[FanDisservice fan disservice]].

* GreyAndGrayMorality: apparently, random murder is ok, but pimping kids isn't.
** EvenEvilHasStandards: Elgie will murder all the adults you want him to, but children are off limits for 'anything'.

* MadeOfPlasticine: Bit characters. Chelsea or Elgie are both more than capable of ripping an [[InnocentBystander innocent bystander]] in half without breaking a sweat.
* MeaningfulName: Chelsea Grinn. She has scars on her face in the form of a GlasgowGrin, also known as a ChelseaSmile.
** "Suka" means "bitch" in Russian (both in dog and not-nice-behavior sence), and also something like "traitor" or "informer" in Russian prison-speak. Whether the second one is meaningful, remains to be seen.
* MercyKill: Chelsea to Heinrich, after he tells her where Elgie is. Alice's pet american tells Heinrich "You're a dead man", by which he probably meant a brutal murder. Cherlsea kisses Heinrich on the forehead and shoots him in the base of the skull, through the mouth.

* [[NamesToRunAwayFrom/NotoriousKillers Names To Run Away From Really Fast/Notorious Killers]]: Elgie is referred to by the surname of "Mr. Ripper" early on in the series, and [[CanonImmigrant the story from which he originated]] connected him to the Jack the Ripper murders. [[spoiler: The author's commentary places this story as [[CanonDiscontinuity non-canon]] to ''Chimneyspeak'']].

-->'''The Rant:''' Yes yes, sword nerds. We all know that during the 17th century onwards, Highlander officers prefered the basket-hilted broadswords. [[RuleOfCool But fuck it, they ain’t nearly as terrifying]]. And they have an Italian flare that leaves a foul taste in the mouth when it comes to the brutish juggernauts the Chimneyspeak Highlanders need to be!

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Or, as the author put it: "Why do I keep making all my serial killers so cute?"

* NotoriousKillers: Elgie is referred to by the surname of "Mr. Ripper" early on in the series, and [[CanonImmigrant the story from which he originated]] connected him to the Jack the Ripper murders.

[[spoiler: The author's commentary places this story as [[CanonDiscontinuity non-canon]] to ''Chimneyspeak'']].

* GratuitousFrench: Elgie's absinthe fairy.

* SplitPersonality: Chelsea has several personalities, representing how she was before the accident, how she was shortly after (when she still had a chance to be normal), and how she is now. And then there's the last one, [[AxeCrazy which even the others are scared of]].

* GlasgowGrin: Chelsea Grinn

* ImplacableMan: Chelsea ''cannot'' be stopped. Shooting her just pisses her off.
