History Webcomic / GuardianGhost

* CasualDangerDialog: Dave, all the time during serious situations. Except when he isn’t. That’s when you know something’s seriously wrong

!Tropes used in this series

* AlliterativeName: See CodeName.

** Actually a lot of the Ghost/Spirit pairs seem to follow this pattern, with the Spirit more on the blue side and Ghosts more on the red side

* Beware The Quiet Ones: Max, later in the comic.

* ButtMonkey Well, Max IS the protagonist...

* CantLiveWithoutYou All the Spirits (Max, Clarence) are stuck with their Ghosts (Dave, Clara) and if the Ghost breaks the link in any manner then the Spirit dies (due to their soul getting erased)

* CasualDangerDialog Dave, all the time during serious situations. Except when he isn’t. That’s when you know something’s seriously wrong
* ChainedHeat Max and Dave

* ColorCodedCharacters Everyone has a specific Ghost Color they're associated with. Some color wheel/theory mechanics are applied.
** Max is a bright blue, Dave a fire-like orange, Clarence is indigo/deep blue, Clara magenta/pink. The ghosts are more on the MonochromeApparition side color-scheme wise.

* CuteBruiser Clara. She can take down 16 Enforcers an hour, [[AxeCrazy and enjoys every minute of it.]]

* DeadToBeginWith The ghost half of the cast

* DefenseMechanismSuperpower Max with his Ghost Energy surge, at least when he used it the first time.

* EyeColorChange Spirits get an eye color change when they get revived, usually a brighter and more vibrant version of their original eye color. This becomes a permanent thing for them Post-Revival.

* GlowingEyesOfDoom Max can get this in the middle of a power burst.

* GlowingEyelightsOfUndeath Enforcers have this, as well as anything associated with them
* HatesBeingAlone Dave. Being almost completely socially isolated for two years can do that to people.
* InvisibleToNormals All the ghosts, even the monster ones.

* JacobMarleyApparel All ghosts get this. They also look like they would be at their physical best once they make the transition from spirit to ghost, with undamaged versions of whatever clothes they were wearing.

* LookBothWays Max died by getting hit by a car, [[FirstEpisodeResurrection but he got better.]]
* NearDeathExperience All the Spirits experience this… although [[GhostAmnesia remembering the event]] depends on their mindset and cause of death.

* NervousWreck It's impossible for Max to NOT be at some level of anxiety at any given point in time.

* OurGhostsAreDifferent The ghosts are all brightly colored, rather than the classic blue/purple/white tones they're usually drawn in. And that's only the tip of the iceberg
* PinkGirlBlueBoy Clarence and Clara, Ghost Color wise.

* PowerLevels Ghost Energy works like this in Spirits, starting at a baseline that builds up throughout the year.

* RedOni, BlueOni Dave and Max respectively, their associated colors are actually pretty close to red and blue (orange and bright blue)

* TechnicolorEyes Anyone revived gets bright and vibrant variations of their original (and normal) eye colors. They have a slight glow.

* TheNicknamer Dave never uses people's real names, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness unless he's genuinely concerned for them.]]
* TripleShifter All of the Spirits fall under this, since [[TheSleepless sleeping at night while monsters are attacking is basically a deathwish]], and sleeping at school is generally frowned upon.

* YouCanSeeMe Dave, when he meets Max for the first (technically second) time

* ArtEvolution Just look at the difference between [[http://guardianghost.smackjeeves.com/comics/1464794/chapter-1-page-2/ Chapter 1]] and [[http://guardianghost.smackjeeves.com/comics/2045306/chapter-7-page-32/ Chapter 7]]
* BerserkButton Do not hurt Clara in any manner around Clarence

* BewareTheQuietOnes Max, later in the comic.

** Max is a bright blue, Dave a fire-like orange, Clarence is indigo/deep blue, Clara magenta/pink

* IMeantToDoThat Despite claiming otherwise, Max's revival was completely unintentional for Dave. He honestly thought that [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan shoving Max while he was panicking]] would snap him out of it. [[FirstEpisodeResurrection It technically worked ]]
* KeepingSecretsSucks Dave seems to be having an especially hard time with hiding the fact that Clarence and Clara are [[spoiler: actually days away from their [[FinalBattle One Year Mark]], rather than the weeks that he and Max previously believed. ]]
** Clara actually told Dave because of her own guilt about her situation, and she intended on telling Max before Dave said he would do it instead. [[spoiler: He still hasn't told Max anything. ]]

** Reversed during Max's revival, when Max was the one asking the question.

* TheSleepless All of the Spirits fall under the "cannot sleep" category, since sleeping at night while monsters are attacking is basically a deathwish, [[TripleShifter and sleeping at school is generally frowned upon.]]

* EyeColorChange Spirits get an eye color change when they get revived, usually a brighter and more vibrant version of their original eye color.

*** The closer their colors are to red, the better they are at actually fighting the Enforcers

* IMeantToDoThat Despite claiming otherwise, Max's revival was completely unintentional for Dave. He honestly thought that [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan shoving Max while he was panicking]] would snap him out of it. [[FirstEpisodeRevival It technically worked ]]

** Dave and Max’s colors are complements/opposites of each other, which works with their polar opposite personalities.
** Clarence and Clara are analogous, with their blue and pink both referencing from purple a bit.
** The closer their colors are to red, the better they are at dealing with the Enforcers (mentally)

* KeepingSecretsSucks Dave seems to be having an especially hard time with hiding the fact that Clarence and Clara are actually days away from their [[FinalBattle One Year Mark]], rather than the weeks that he and Max previously believed.
** Clara actually told Dave because of her own guilt about her situation, and she intended on telling Max before Dave said he would do it instead. He still hasn't told Max anything.

A webcomic that follows the adventures of Max Tabzrt after getting revived by a wayward ghost. And all the chaos that comes with it.

* CantLiveWithoutYou All the Spirits (Max, Clarence) are stuck with their Ghosts (Dave, Clara) and if the Ghost breaks the link in any manner then the Spirit dies
