History Webcomic / LoveMeToDeath

* DisproportionateRetribution: Have even so much as a short conversation with a Necromancer? The Sacred Order will jail you, as Victor's Landlady, and Enrique's other fiance can attest to.

* WeaksauceWeakness: Necromancers become sick when near the Church's holy relics, which are supposedly tied to the God of Life. Touching the artifacts also hurts, and they can't be animated using Necromancer magic.

** On a related note, Necromancer magic is heavily associated with gold, which held great cultural significance in many Mesoamerican societies.

* ItsPersonal: Ignacio wants to hunt down the Necromancer, especially after [[spoiler:Recognizing that Mercedes, was reanimated by The Necromancer]]

* BareYourMidriff: The cartel Sombra wears a corset as a shirt that shows off her cleavage and stomach.

* GoodBoss: Enrique treats his employees well and does what he can to protect them from being taken advantage of, and that includes Victor.

* FantasticRacism: The Church's official doctrine is that the continued existence of Necromancers is the reason mortality exists, and that wiping them out will not only end death but bring back the dead.

* NonActionGuy: Despite being in ''very'' good shape, Victor hasn't directly fought anyone so far and has relied on his magic to get out of tough situations. The resurrection spell gave Mercedes a number of powers, including super strength if Victor empowers her with his magic, so she's done most of the fighting.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: The resurrection spell does not restore Mercedes's memories of her life.
* LonelyRichKid: Enrique implies that their shared experiences of coming from stifling, controlling families is part of the reason he and Mercedes fell in love.
* OrphanageOfFear: Victor spent some of his childhood in a Church run orphanage, where the staff didn't realize that their holy relics were the reason for him constantly being sick and that treating him with things like prayer and holy water were only making it worse. It seems like they knew he was a Necromancer and were trying to get rid of his powers. [[spoiler: When Victor escaped, even though he was still a child at the time, they said to capture him dead or alive.]]

* BlatantLies: The Church teaches that all Necromancers are born evil, so we know from the start of the comic that they're dead wrong. They also insist that Mercedes was killed by a Necromancer, but all signs currently point to [[spoiler: the Church having assassinated her.]]

* OrphanageOfFear: Victor spent some of his childhood in a Church run orphanage, where the staff didn't realize that their holy relics were the reason for him constantly being sick and that treating him with things like prayer and holy water were only making it worse.

* BlatantLies: The Church teaches that all Necromancers are born evil, so we know from the start of the comic that they're dead wrong. They also teach that their holy water is the blood of the God of Life, flowing from where his body was sealed under the earth by the original Necromancer. In chapter 15 we see that [[spoiler: the water is magically imbued using a fire spirit that doesn't seem to want to be sealed under the Church and also shows signs of Necromancy's telltale golden glow.]]

* CorruptChurch: Having Necromancer blood regardless of if you're hurting anyone or not is a punishable offense by the Church, and they also treat the city's wealthier residents with far less suspicion than anyone else. Victor's existence alone is living proof that their teachings of how Necromancer's are inherently evil is wrong. They'll gladly let a man matching a Necromancer's description go, even when he's walking together with a woman who looks suspiciously like a walking corpse, if a known member or employee of a respected household says they can be trusted. On top of all of this, they insist that a Necromancer must be behind Mercedes's death, butcher her corpse to confirm this, and continue to insist on it even after finding no evidence of such. [[spoiler: All signs also point to Mercedes having been murdered because she discovered something the Church wanted to hide.]]

* WeaksauceWeakness: Necromancers become sick when near the Church's holy relics, which are supposedly tied to the God of Life. Touching the artifacts also hurts.

* OrphanageOfFear: We've only seen brief glimpses of it so far, but Victor spent much of his childhood in a Church-run orphanage, where he was surrounded by and sometimes made to wear holy artifacts that make him sick. The staff, unaware that their holy relics were the cause, resorted to prayer to try and get him to be better, but it only made things worse.

It's unknown if they knew he was a Necromancer and were trying to get rid of his magic or if he was able to keep it a secret.

* CrystalDragonJesus: The Church is clearly based on the Catholic Church, right down to their regalia and architecture.

* LonelyRichKid: Enrique implies that coming from stifling, controlling families is part of the reason he and Mercedes fell in love.

* MrFanservice: Victor has had multiple shirtless scenes before chapter eight.

The story follows Victor, a Necromancer who is desperately trying to stay hidden from the Church of the God of Life, which has outlawed Necromancy and who's doctrine states that only the eradication of all Necromancers will allow for the return of their god. He gets the opportunity to escape when Enrique Olivarez, one of the richest men in the city, offers to help smuggle him out of the city and help him start a new life in a place where his magic is still legal.
