History Webcomic / TheSwordInterval

* CreatureHunterOrganization: Atlas. Hunters appear to be a more grassroots phenomena, without any overarching structure, but sharing tips and information, working to together when their hunts overlap, and having areas like the bar The Wild Hunt where hunters gather to drink, talk, and plan.

* BloodMagic: Mah Yun knows it, and [[spoiler:she's been teaching Marco.]]

* SpiritualSuccessor: To ''Webcomic/ParallelDementia''. The setting is very different, but it features some of the old characters like [[TheHero Fall]], David, [[{{Golem}} Reggie]], Alexis Ivanova, a man that appears to be Midas, the organization Atlas, [[spoiler:[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast The Visage of Death]], and possibly [[FanNickname The Thing in Chains]]]].

* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler: Marina Barros lost her lower left leg in the fight against the Hierophant where his body was destroyed.]]

* EyeColourChange: Fall used to have brown eyes, but they turned gold as a result of what the Hierophant did to her.

* SpiritualSuccessor: to ''Webcomic/ParallelDementia''. The setting is very different, but it features some of the old characters like [[TheHero Fall]], David, [[{{Golem}} Reggie]], Alexis Ivanova, a man that appears to be Midas, the organization Atlas, [[spoiler:[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast The Visage of Death]], and possibly [[FanNickname The Thing in Chains]]]].

* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Fall has had them ever since the Hierophant changed her. They used to be brown. While she was in witness protection, she wore coloured contacts to hide them.

* TouchedByVorlons: When he killed her parents, the Hierophant did something to Fall that left her with glowing golden eyes and a HealingFactor.

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Though this setting stretches the definition of "mundane", was [[spoiler:Visage's]] recovery due to [[spoiler:his own not inconsiderable power, or were those rattling, moving chains more than just spooky ambiance? Could [[FanNickname The Thing in Chains]] have made his way over from ''Webcomic/ParallelDementia'' and be up to his {{Chessmaster}} ways?]] Would probably fall under InMysteriousWays if the latter.

* GhostlyGape: The Visage sports one, which makes him look even more disturbing. Actually, all of the ghosts in Broughton Hall have one, and Visage's is probably the least [[BodyHorror horrific]]... though still potentially the creepiest. Especially since his speech bubbles often [[PaintingTheMedium extend into and behind his mask]], making it look like they are issuing from deep within.
* {{Golem}}: Sword Interval doesn't have high technology, unlike its predecessor ''Webcomic/ParallelDementia'', and golems are powered by spirits and magic. Reggie is a Hungering Golem, meaning he sustains himself by feeding on magic around him [[spoiler: and can do so offensively, draining the magic out of a huge area and destroying magical constructs like those created by [[PlantPerson Granny Slough]]]]. He appears to have been created by the English for World War I, and has since been claimed by Atlas [[spoiler:apparently regardless of what he desires]]. ArtificialLimbs are also made of non-sentient golems, responding to the wearer's desires, which can lead to new limbs especially picking up objects the user finds curious or walking to places the owner is thinking of... whether or not the user actually intended to do those things.

* GhostlyGape: The Visage sports one, which makes him look even more disturbing.

* EvilIsNotAToy: [[spoiler:The kid from the first arc learns the hard way that summoning a monster is a bad idea, and Fall and David have to save him from his mistake.]]

** The Hierophant fits under the "Titles" and "Religious Names" categories.
** Mah Yun, the Stygian Medusa, falls in the "Ancient Dead Languages" and "Religious Names" categories.

* SkinWalker: Fall and David hunt a few. They look like skinned humans with blank white eyes, and wear the skins of humans and wolves. They can only be killed outside of their skins.

* BaitAndSwitch: The opening prologue shows the fight against the Hierophant where his body was originally destroyed, and [[spoiler:it looks like Fall's parents were killed then. It's later revealed in a flashback that they survived, and were actually killed later that year, in December, when the Hierophant came back for revenge.]]

* SecretPassageway: There's one at Broughton Hall, leading to the Visage's secret torture cellar.

* WhiteMaskOfDoom: The Visage sports one, both in life and death.

* TheExtremistWasRight: [[spoiler:The Visage, aka Karl Banks, became the insane murderous villain we see him as because he believed that his childhood friend, who'd died in a fire, was being hunted down and murdered every time she reincarnated. It's revealed in strip 84 that [[TitleDrop he was right]].]]

* Reincarnation: [[spoiler:Seems to be possible. The Visage's descent into villainy came about because a childhood friend of his died in a fire, and he came to believe that her reincarnations were being hunted down and killed by a secretive organization. [[WhamLine He was right.]]]]
