9	!!The group as a whole
10	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/group4.png]]
11	[[caption-width-right:350:Counterclockwise from the left: Reed, Nino, Five, Aria, and Mei. [[labelnote:Click here to see their appearances in Act 3]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stylin.png "Truly, your appearances are now befitting those of heroes!"[[/labelnote]] ]]
12
13	The [[BuffySpeak Mainest]] of the main 3 parties and the ones we follow for most of the story
14	----
15	* FourTemperamentEnsemble
16	** Sanguine: [[PluckyGirl Mei]] and [[TokenMiniMoe Five]].
17	** Choleric: [[TheLeader Nino]].
18	** Melancholic: [[TheSmartGuy Reed]].
19	** Phlegmatic: [[NiceGirl Aria]].
20	* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Nino with Mei and Reed, at least at first.
21	** Nino and Mei initially work together since they were both wanted by Kaji, and had several moments of stress, but she chose to stick around after it was no longer an issue, solidifying them as genuine friends.
22	** Reed, meanwhile, works with Nino solely to beat Kaji, but they butt heads when Reed wants to leave Nino and Mei behind to take Five and Aria to the lab. Reed relents at Five's insistence, and although they do have their lighter moments, the two are still mainly in an alliance of convenience.
23
24	!!Nino
25	[[quoteright:347:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/group1.png]]
26	[[caption-width-right:347:Pictured: Nino. No, despite what the pointing and sparkles suggest, this is not [[{{VideoGame/Deltarune}} Kris]]. \

29
30
31	A lost, amnesiac human boy and the protagonist of the story.
32	----
33	* AmnesiacHero: He can't recall why he's in the forest, how he got to the monster world from the human world, or who he was before he woke up.
34	* BrutalHonesty: Can be this sometimes. After he and Five talk after he forgets her, he outright admits he wouldn't know if she did anything to deserve being forgotten, which doesn't raise her spirits to say the least.
35	* ButtMonkey: He has pretty bad luck in Act 1, falling out of trees, [[MakesSenseInContext getting juked by a note]], [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext being mugged by maids]], and almost getting killed by Corona. Thankfully for him, his luck picks up in Act 2.
36	* ExtremeOmnivore: When he wakes up famished and has to wait several minutes for Aria to present the muffins, he starts eating Five's drawing and crayons in desperation. {{Subverted}}, as it was just an ImagineSpot. Although... those crayons were starting to look tasty...
37	* FirstBlood: Nino tends to take the diplomatic path in every situation, but Kotori is the first person he actively attacks and harms.
38	* HealingHands: Nino's ability is this. It's even called that by name.
39	* HeroesPreferSwords: A sword is his weapon of choice.
40	* IdiotHair: Has a single noticeable spike on his tussled hair.
41	* MartialPacifist: He's handy with a sword, but usually tries to go the diplomatic route first. [[spoiler:Even against Kotori, he only strikes to stun rather than kill.]]
42	* MoralityPet: Five seems to be this to him, and is shown to never be outright rude to her even after his second bout of amnesia and [[TookALevelInJerkass becoming more of a jerk]], just being blunt at worst.
43	* [[spoiler:SplitPersonality]]: [[spoiler:The Phantom, also known as [[FanNickname Cape Nino]] or simply [[TheScottishTrope "him"]], is an entity that has appeared in Nino's dreams and argues he should be more selfish, that [[TheyWereHoldingYouBack his friends will only hold him back]], but especially that [[InTheEndYouAreOnYourOwn in the end, Nino only has himself]], so he can never trust his allies. He ''claims'' that he's just a part of Nino, but [[UnreliableNarrator it's unknown if he's being genuine]]]].
44	** EmptyEyes: [[spoiler:The Phantom himself. Nino also gets this treatment whenever he's shown acting in ways that align with the Phantom's mentality]].
45
46	!!Five
47	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/five4.png]]
48	[[caption-width-right:350:Pictured: Five, with a smile bright enough to use as a flashlight.]]
49
50	A banished monster who is found and rescued by Nino.
51	----
52	* ChildrenAreInnocent: Friendly, caring for her friends, and doesn't seem to have a malevolent bone in her body.
53	* CuteLittleFangs: Not always prominent, but they make the [[https://mspfa.com/?s=14456&p=107 occasional]] [[https://mspfa.com/?s=14456&p=469 appearance]].
54	* DarkAndTroubledPast: She got banished, presumably for being a weak monster.
55	* DrivenToSuicide: Though it's not stated directly, it's heavily implied that Five was trying to kill herself to undo her transformation before Nino healed her.
56	* MoralityPet: See Nino's entry for more details.
57	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: "Five" doesn't seem to be her real name.
58	* RedEyesTakeWarning: Subverted. Five doesn't turn out to be dangerous at all, despite her red eyes.
59	* ThirdPersonPerson: Almost always refers to herself in third person. However, [[spoiler:her ''not'' speaking in third person is [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness a clear sign something is very very wrong]].]]
60	* VerbalTic: Speaks in third person and pauses a lot. She slowly drops the latter as the story progresses.
61
62	!!Aria Elwyn
63	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/11334564533434.png]]
64	[[caption-width-right:350:Pictured: Aria, a girl with golden hair and [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold an equally golden heart]]. \
65	[[labelnote:Click here to see her new appearance in Act 3]] https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ariadrip.png [[ObliviouslyBeautiful "Does this outfit look alright on me?"]] ]] [[/labelnote]]
66
67	A human girl who grew up in the monsters' world. Has a dog companion named Ludwig.
68	----
69	* BewareTheNiceOnes: When she gets angry, she's much more of a threat than she looks.
70	* CanineCompanion: Ludwig, a "ghost dog" to be precise.
71	* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: After the war, under the reign of the new prince of the monster world, every human, including her mother, was eliminated.
72	* FriendlessBackground: Kind of. She grew up in the monster world always pretending to be a monster, which made it difficult to connect to others. She at least appears to be friends with Kotori, [[spoiler:until Kotori betrays her.]]
73	* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Aria is very kind and compassionate, in addition to having the brightest blonde hair among the main characters.
74	* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:When Kotori betrays and exposes her.]]
75	* MasterOfDisguise: Her ability. She disguises herself as a monster to blend in with the monster world.
76	* MysteriousPast: It's initially unknown why she lives in the monster world, despite being a human. She later explains that before the Human-Monster War, there was nothing stopping humans or monsters from living in the other's world other than prejudice
77	* NiceGirl: Polite, friendly, and accomodating to a fault.
78	* PrecisionFStrike: Shows distaste for crude language, but even she lets out a swear while telling her troubling backstory to Nino.
79	* TeamMom: She definitely has shades of this.
80
81	!!Meimona Corvus
82	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/meiuwu.png]]
83	[[caption-width-right:350:Pictured: Mei, in [[{{SugarWiki/AwesomeArt}} the panel]] that got a lot of people into this comic. \
84	[[labelnote:Click here to see her new appearance in Act 3]] https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/meidrip.png [[EverythingsBetterWithSparkles "Shinies are the best thing you could ever wear!"]] ]] [[/labelnote]]
85
86	A winged thief living on icicle bay, who joins Nino's side after he finds her cat Boyfriend and discover they're both being chased by Kaji.
87	----
88	* AcrophobicBird: As per most winged, she can fly whenever she wants. Emphasis on can, as flying uses up her divinity, which she's trying to save up so she can go home.
89	* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: Her first ability revolves around this. If someone believes she's capable of something or thinks something about her hard enough, it'll turn out to be true. She's used this to her advantage on several occasions, but of particuler note, to give herself SuperStrength [[spoiler:twice]].
90	** Nino later becomes confused at this, as even though he knows her ability is solely fueled by belief, she retains her powers gained from it after he learns about it. Mei explains that "seeing is believing", so since Nino had visual affirmation, even though his conscience says otherwise, his mind took what it saw as pure fact, so he believes even without consciously deciding to.
91	* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Like all winged, Mei has orange eyes. This matches especially well with her bright orange hair.
92	* GeniusDitz: Genius enough to very easily [[IndyPloy come up with plans on the fly]] and use sudden changes to her advantage, but ditzy enough to make [[InsaneTrollLogic little to no sense]] while doing any of it and also easily forget where she put her cat (to the point of looking under a colossal boulder for him).
93	* HeavenlyBlue: She's an angel and her color is blue. Not much else to say about it.
94	* JustifiedCriminal: At the end of the day, she's only stealing as much as she is because she and her cat have gotta eat as much as anyone. She also can't get a regular job since nobody ever taught her how.
95	* LargeHam: [[{{Understatement}} She's dramatic to say the least.]]
96	* OddNameOut: Her name is the only one in the party who doesn't fit the 4-letter pattern of the rest of the group, and it also has roots in a non-European language (Arabic).
97	* LovableRogue: She is a thief, but you can't deny she looks good doing it. The fact that she's a JustifiedCriminal helps her case.
98	* PerpetualMolt: Noticably more so than other avian winged.
99	* PluckyGirl: Mei is a strongly optimistic hero and determined to get through any obstacle. Even after Nino [[spoiler:starts manipulating Aria so they can go to the monster world]], she still trusts [[spoiler:that he's doing what he thinks is best for everyone and won't just forget about them]].
100
101	!!Reed Lumen
102	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/reed2.png]]
103	[[caption-width-right:350:Pictured: Reed, [[DeadpanSnarker judging you]]. \
104	[[labelnote:Click here to see his new appearance in Act 3]] https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/reeddrip.png [[BoringButPractical "...although it's not really my style, it'll make do."]] ]] [[/labelnote]]
105
106	A human boy who stumbles on Five and later Aria in the forest of illusions, and agrees to help them get to the human world.
107	----
108	* ArmCannon: Reed has prosthetic arms which can fire concentrated blasts of air or heat attacks.
109	* BadassNormal: He, as of editing this, has never once used his ability [[spoiler:if he has one at all]]. However, his robotic arms and greater experience than the rest of the group means he doesn't really need to.
110	* BookDumb: Flashbacks to his childhood reveal that he's this, but he's remarkably intelligent in other areas.
111	* '''DeadpanSnarker''': Where the heck do you even ''start'' with him?
112	* DisappearedDad: [[spoiler:No, Zachary is not dead, he's [[InsistentTerminology "currently unavailable"]], despite what reports claim. In fact, the whole reason he found Aria and Five in the first place is because he was looking for him.]]
113	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's very abrasive, but not a bad person. Despite initially thinking of Five and Ludwig as Aria's "baggage", even refusing to call any of them by name at first, he still helps them when Aria makes it clear she's not leaving them behind. Aria and Five both grow on him as well, to the point that [[spoiler:he gets outright physical against Nino when he casually suggests the rest of the group could just leave her behind]].
114	* OnlySaneMan: Most of the time, he's the one playing this role in the group. Though, [[NotSoAboveItAll that isn't say he never joins in on their antics]].
115	* ParentalNeglect: [[spoiler:His parents didn't care for him much, and only gave any real attention to his older sister Ruby. It's implied that part of the reason he cares for his little sister Eidolon is so [[GiveHimANormalLife she can have the normal childhood he never did]]]].
116	* PromotedToParent: Reed's conversations with Eidolon reveal that he's had to step up to take care of her [[spoiler: after the disappearance of their parents]].
117	* StrongFamilyResemblance: Take a look at [[https://oceanfalls2.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/2022/04/00001817.png this image]]. It's pretty easy to tell who his parents are.

121	[[folder:The Monster Party]]
122
123	!!Prince Suvillan
124	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/prince_3.png]]
125	[[caption-width-right:350:Pictured: Suvillan, evil and loving it.]]
126
127	The prince of the monster world and the primary antagonist.
128	----
129	* AffablyEvil: Initially appears as this...
130	** FauxAffablyEvil: ...until he discovers Kotori's secret.
131	* EvilIsBigger[=/=]LargeAndInCharge: [[http://oceanfalls-official.tumblr.com/post/174956782604/itsnightsyo-a-bunch-of-character-references-and Official concept art]] reveals that he is 6'4.
132	* MirrorCharacter: To Ruit. See below for more details.
133	* ObviouslyEvil: His red, black, and fiery [[https://mspfa.com/?s=14456&p=50 introduction]] exudes evil.
134	* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Most depictions of him show him cloaked with red and black.
135	* SharpDressedMan: Wears a fancy white suit coupled with a black heart.
136	* SlouchOfVillainy: Introduced in such a pose on his throne.
137	* WouldHurtAChild: Forced Five's friend to banish her, just for being a weak monster.
138
139	!!Kotori
140	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/u11.png]]
141	[[caption-width-right:350:Pictured: Kotori, with her spear.]]
142
143	A local guard around Aria's town.
144	----
145	* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Kotori has the bright red eyes of a monster in addition to bright ruby hair.
146	* FirstBlood: Nino has always been shown to take the diplomatic path in every situation, but Kotori is the first person he actively attacks and harms.
147	* LawfulStupid: Well, more like [[DownplayedTrope lawful ignorant]]. As a guard, she's determined to punish "illegal things," even though she doesn't seem to have a very concrete idea of what ''is'' illegal.
148	* TheNapoleon: She's short and furious.
149	* OffScreenBreakup: Had one with Solis long before the story began. [[AmicableExes They do their best to get along]].
150
151	!!Solis Ardor
152	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fback2_9.png]]
153	[[caption-width-right:350:Pictured on the right.]]
154
155	Five's (former) friend and a royal guard of Suvillan's. He once worked as a paralegal.
156	----
157	* OffScreenBreakup: Broke up with Kotori off-screen before the story started.
158	* OneHeadTaller: Kotori is 5'0, while Solis is 5'11.
159	* PlayingWithFire: As the heir apparent for the regional lordship of Niyran, Solis is just one of a proud line of people with fire abilities.
160	* TheSnarkKnight: World weary? Yep. Pessimistic? Indeed. Snarky? ''Absolutely''.
161	* ViewerGenderConfusion: He's a guy, but he's got such pretty eyelashes and long-ish hair...
162
163	!!Corona Andromede
164	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/she.png]]
165
166	The head of the monster royal guard, working closely with and directly under prince Suvillan. She is Solis and Kotori's boss.
167	----
168	* ChainedByFashion: Has two handcuff chains on her hands.
169	* DarkActionGirl: Corona is as badass as she is terrifying.
170	* GoodWingsEvilWings: Her wings are bat-like and add to her mysterious nature.
171	* HolyHalo: Has a very broken-looking one. Possibly an indication of being a FallenAngel.
172	* HiddenDepths: Despite being unambiguously evil, it seems that she [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther really does care about Suvillan, Kotori, and even Solis]] when she isn't messing with him.
173	* TallDarkAndSnarky: She's snarky, dark-skinned, and the third tallest character behind Suvillan with a height of 6'0 feet.
174	* WouldHurtAChild: A possible conclusion from Nino's [[https://mspfa.com/?s=14456&p=305 flashback.]]
175
176	[[/folder]]
177
178	[[folder:The Human Party]]
179
180	!!Prince Ruit
181	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/00001511.png]]
182
183	The prince of the human world.
184	----
185	* {{Adorkable}}: He can be this sometimes.
186	* BenevolentBoss: Yeah, but this is regarded as a weakness by other nobles.
187	* BreakTheHaughty: In the past, he was a huge bully and rather self-aggrandizing. Joining in the Human-Monster War, losing an eye and arm in combat, losing his mother in the war, and then being thrust into the position of ruler, all seemingly in the same year has, needless to say, flipped this on its head. Best put by this quote from the discord.
188	--> Ruit's old problem was "BITCH I AM THE BEST PERSON IN THIS STINKY WORLD" and his current problem is "I am but a humble garbage can in the guise of a ruler"
189	* ExoticEyeDesigns: In keeping with the humans' diamond theme, Ruit -- like all human royals -- has sapphire blue eyes with diamond-shaped pupils.
190	* HiddenHeartOfGold: Nino calls him a very strict ruler, but this is later revealed to be a ploy. According to Lune, the public image of Ruit is significantly more "cold and domineering" compared to the real him: a kindhearted geek who tends to sleep in, has a huge sweet tooth, and prefers {{Manga}} to aristocratic literature. He never orders servants, only requests things of them, and treats all of his subordinates with kindness. Additionally, he tries to be like the public version of him, which he himself considers cooler than his actual self, though Lune claims otherwise.
191	* {{Kuudere}}: A rare male example. He goes to great lengths to act like a cold and domineering ruler in public, but is secretly much more caring than his P.R suggests. Best shown [[https://oceanfalls.net/p/7556 here]], when he tries to get info out of Lune about if Kaji is doing well without directly mentioning him.
192	* LargeAndInCharge: [[http://oceanfalls-official.tumblr.com/post/174956782604/itsnightsyo-a-bunch-of-character-references-and Even more so]] than Suvillan; he's 6'6.
193	* MindOverMatter: Ruit's special ability is telekinesis, denoted by blue diamond-shaped sparkles.
194	* MirrorCharacter: Seems to be one to Suvillan. Whereas Suvillan in the past was shy and timid while Ruit was [[RoyalBrat a haughty bully]], currently Ruit has self-esteem issues while Suvillan is confident and [[TheEvilPrince significantly worse]] than Ruit ever was.
195	** Best showed by the contrast [[https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/267539233307230210/1013177579659857930/unknown.png between his and Suvillan's throne rooms]]. Suvillan's throne is higher than the entrance while Ruit's is lower. Also, the painting of Ruit in Suvillan's room is totally destroyed while the painting of Suvillan in Ruit's is untouched
196	* ReformedBully: [[ImpliedTrope Implied]]. As shown by several flashbacks to the lab, he seems to have been rather mean to the then timid Suvillan, but these days is very kind to those around him. Though, we haven't actually seen his thoughts about Suvillan.
197	* RoyalBrat: He was this back in the labs. [[ReformedBully He got better with age though.]]
198	* WarriorPrince: Most definitely, considering [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething he fought in the human monster war]].
199
200	!!Lune Umbra
201	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/00001529.png]]
202
203	Head of the human royal guards and loyal servant to Prince Ruit. She was also once a friend of Five, who nicknamed her "Guard".
204	----
205	* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: Lune nearly ''died'' during the War of the Barrier Breach by overexerting her ability. This is implied to be part of the reason Ruit worries about her so much.
206	* DualWielding: Seems to be her weapon of choice.
207	* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: This is likely the reason her hair was [[https://oceanfalls.net/p/11107 longer in the past]].
208	* NumberTwo: Ruit's right-hand woman, head of the royal guard, and easily one of the most powerful people in the human kingdom.
209	* PurpleIsPowerful: As a descendant of the Umbra Clan, Lune was put through rigorous and brutal military training as a child, leading to her achieving Resonance with her ability at a relatively young age.
210	* SelfDuplication: Lune's ability allows her to make copies of herself and her swords, which she uses to great effect in battle. Because of this, she's gained the moniker of "[[ArmyOfOne The Army of One]]".
211	* TheStoic: She's like this even in flashbacks to the lab.
212
213	!!Kaji Pyxis
214	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kaji.png]]
215
216	A winged working as sea patrol in the human world. He is Ruit's subordinate.
217	----
218	* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: At first, pretty much everyone in Icicle Bay hates him since he continuously failed to capture [[LovableRogue Mei]]. This turns around pretty fast once Mei turns herself in.
219	* AnIcePerson: One of Kaji's abilities lets him control ice, which he uses to throw up walls of solid ice or create ice shards to use as projectiles.
220	* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Kaji has a winged's orange eyes in addition to light orange hair.
221	* HidingBehindYourBangs: Kaji's bangs purposefully cover his blind left eye, since looking at it often causes others to be uncomfortable.
222	* HolyHalo: Is noticeably missing one. The comment about "a lack of a divine mark" may refer to this. This is later expanded on during his talk with Nino, he lost it along with his divinity when [[spoiler:[[RageAgainstTheHeavens he defied the Prosperous]] and [[FallenAngel fell from the Overworld]]]].
223	* LaserGuidedAmnesia: [[spoiler: As revealed in the bar conversation, he can't remember why he defied the Prosperous after he fell to the Midworld, and as such, can only guess as to why he did so.]]
224	* {{Seers}}: [[spoiler: As the former guide to the Queen, Kaji once had the ability to see the "correct" path to take to accomplish any goal the Queen desired. However, this is rendered moot when he blinds himself in defiance to her and gets banished to the Midworld]].
225	* ViewerGenderConfusion: His hair is very long and tied up in three small ponytails.
226	* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Kaji speaks in an odd mishmash of accents, mainly resembling Irish. This is later revealed to be fake, [[spoiler: as Nino notes during their bar discussion]].
227	** AcCENTUponTheWrongSylLABle: Always stresses the "n" in "Damn".

234
235	!!Diana A. Xayasith (AKA Sis)
236	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/00001860.png]]
237
238	Five's former nurse and assistant to Professor Zachary L.
239	----
240	* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Had no qualms about drinking in front of a child like Five.
241	* MotherlyScientist: Five's recalls Diana as this, which is why she nicknamed her "Sis".
242	* MuggleWithADegreeInMagic: As shown in the flashback featuring her, she knew quite a bit about how abilities work, despite being unable to awaken one.
243
244	!!Lady Oshen
245	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/oshen.png]]
246
247	A warrior who ended the war between humans and monsters by using her ability to separate both sides.
248	----
249	* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: Using her ability to create the barrier [[HeroicSacrifice instantly killed her]], but ensured safety for the worlds.
250	* PimpedOutCape: Has one in the book's [[https://mspfa.com/?s=14456&p=406 illustrations]], and pretty much all other depictions of her has one.
251	* WorldsBestWarrior: By the time Oshen died, she was already the most famous warrior in the Human world. Her death only cemented her as, in the words of Lacia, "humankind's ultimate heroine."
252

257	!!Lacia
258	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lacia.png]]
259
260	One of many seafolk, a mermaid, who resides on Icicle Bay.
261	----
262	* HopelessSuitor: Implied. She has a crush on Kaji and is the one who Mei delivered the love letter for. Unfortunately, since winged are mostly loveless due to their society, it doesn't paint a very hopeful picture. Practically confirmed with the April fools special
263
264	[[/folder]]
265
266	!!General Race Tropes
267
268	[[folder:Humans]]
269
270	One of the main races in Oceanfalls. Humans populate the human world, and are implied to dislike monsters and fear them. Humans are weaker than monsters, but are more technologically advanced.
271	----
272	* BornUnderTheSail: From what we've seen of them, they've had to adapt quite a bit to most of their world being covered in oceans.
273	* FantasticSlurs: As far as Suvillan is concerned, they are ''[[InsistentTerminology Mosquitos]]''.
274	* HigherTechSpeciesHumanityIsAdvanced: Considering they have a working internet and ArtificialLimbs, they're this to everyone else
275	* HumanSubspecies: The Umbra, humans with far more powerful abilities than average.

279	[[folder:Monsters]]
280
281	Monsters are another main race in Oceanfalls. They populate the monster world, and have been shown to actively dislike humans. Monsters are stronger than humans, but less technologically advanced.
282	----
283	* FantasticRacism: More so than just about any other race. Despite the Winged and Celestials declaring that humans and monsters are equal, the monsters were not willing to accept it, and by the time the comic starts, still aren't.
284	* HornedHumanoid: The most noticeable feature separating them from humans are the horns on top of their heads.
285	* LongLived: DownplayedTrope, as while humans live only 100 years, monsters live around 150.
286	* NotQuiteHuman: Horns, red eyes, but not much else.
287	* RedEyesTakeWarning: One of the other features in all monsters.

291	[[folder:Winged]]
292
293	The 3rd main race in Oceanfalls. Monsters seem to believe that winged are capable of granting wishes. They are said to be [[SuperiorSpecies more powerful than both monsters and humans]], having the potential to awaken more than one ability. They live in the Overworld, which has been separated from Midworld by the barrier.
294	----
295	* TheArmiesOfHeaven: The Valkyries, who, despite their namesake, only come down to the Midworld when the laws and customs of war are broken. War almost always ends between humans and monsters soon after, and they're said to be revered by both races.
296	* BizarreAlienPsychology: It has been said by Mei that winged are loveless beings, but this has been expanded on by WordOfGod. In winged society, being detached from emotions and loveless is seen as part of being an "ideal" winged, meaning both romance and friendship are difficult for most winged (though romance is the biggest challenge). A number of them do deviate from this and [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove try to learn about the love of humans and monsters]], but the vast majority of winged view this as willingly developing a mental illness.
297	* DescriptivelyNamedSpecies: Take a guess.
298	* ExoticEyeDesigns: In most cases, characters in the comic tend to be drawn with two-colored eyes, with a solid iris and a white pupil. The vast majority of Winged however tend to be drawn with black pupils.
299	* LongLived: Up to 300 years.
300	* SuperiorSpecies: In terms of abilities and lifespan.
301	* WingedHumanoid: You guessed right.

304
305	[[folder:Seafolk]]
306
307	One of the minor races. Semi-aquatic humanoids who live in the oceans of the human world.
308	----
309	* {{Cthulhumanoid}}: Some of them are based on Cephalopods, particularly Warty.
310	* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: This seems to commonly be the case for Mermaids.
311	* ExoticEyeDesigns: Zigzagged. Mermaids tend to range on the more ordinary end of the spectrum with dark, tinted pupils, and several of the seafolk do sport more elaborate eye designs, but there ''are'' seafolk who sport the standard white-pupilled eye.
312	* FishPeople: They're more humanoid than most examples.
313	* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: Mermaids are a specific subset of Seafolk that are the only ones who can speak Human language. They tend to act as translators between the two.
314	* OurSirensAreDifferent: One mermaid guy in Icicle Bay Getaway sadly muses how their ancestors used to lure human sailors to their deaths, but these days they're subservient to the humans they used to prey on.
315	* SirensAreMermaids: They ''used'' to be, anyway.
316	* TokenAquaticRace: It's even in the name!
