1 | '' Going to my Unseelie faerie godmother for relationship advice was probably not the strangest thing that was going to happen to me today. |
2 | |
3 | ''I am so fucking fucked.'' '' |
4 | |
5 | A handy receptacle for the tropes in a [[PostModernism postmodern]] [[TheEpic epic]] DungeonPunk novel series. Don't worry, it will be filled. |
6 | |
7 | ---- |
8 | %%* AnthropomorphicPersonification: The gods, to a degree. |
9 | %%* AntiHero: Zane. |
10 | * AutomatonHorses: Zane and Rhoslyn ride across a country on horse ghouls. |
11 | * CelestialBureaucracy: Just because the gods CAN handle everything doesn't mean they want to. And the God-King has his own rules. |
12 | * BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil: Part of the God-King's strategy, as his power derives from neutrality and balance. |
13 | %%* BelligerentSexualTension: Between Zane and Kira. |
14 | * BrainyBrunette: Kira is a Bodyweaver, which is TheArchMage equivalent of TheMedic. |
15 | * TheEpic: |
16 | ** takes place over sixty plus years |
17 | ** follows a family of gods, and the families of the mortals and immortals who serve them, and the nations that serve them... |
18 | ** who seek to control the creation of the next reality and become the first of their kind |
19 | ** which involves several inter-connected plots followed jointly and separately |
20 | %%* TheFairFolk: Both Seelie and Unseelie. |
21 | * FirstPersonSmartass: Zane, mostly to distract himself from being terrified. Rhoslyn, due to his MediumAwareness. |
22 | * GodInHumanForm: The "Defenders of the Faith" [[RankScalesWithAsskicking share power directly with their deity]]. |
23 | * HyperAwareness: Zane has this, which overlaps with his PhotographicMemory. |
24 | * JerkassGods: Eternity is boring - let's all work together to build a universe, then make them all go to war, and whoever has the most survivors when they blow up the entire universe wins, and has more power the next round. |
25 | * KavorkaMan: Renn. He has the kind of face only a blind mother could love and is, in the opinion of Zane, a "cheerful lecher". |
26 | %%* KingOfTheGods: Chelan, the God of Neutrality and Balance. |
27 | * MagicAIsMagicA: [[FunctionalMagic Magic]] comes from will and belief. [[PsychicPowers Mentalist powers]] come from intelligence and the god of those powers. [[KiManipulation Auric powers]] come from the body. Wizardry [[SufficientlyAnalyzedMagic uses them together.]] All of them use [[LifeEnergy mana]]. Everything has a spirit, and the amount of mana a spirit releases is based on the life, motion, and age of the object in question. It is possible to [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique break a spirit]] to [[LimitBreak amplify a power]], but it has [[RealityBreakingParadox unfortunate consequences]]. |
28 | * MaleGaze: Zane has trouble keeping his attention off of Kira's assets. |
29 | * MoralityKitchenSink: There's the good guys, the evil guys, the neutral guys, the really evil guys, and the bad guys, who happen to be the protagonists. |
30 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: Congratulations, Zane, you killed the man who killed your newborn child. Shame he[[spoiler: just happened to be the last sacrifice needed to raise a dead nature goddess back to unlife.]] |
31 | * OurZombiesAreDifferent: Several kinds, actually. |
32 | ** Most zombies are type VM, near the beginning, although some type C exist. |
33 | ** Caribia's zombies are PSMO - they're plant zombies! |
34 | * ReligionOfEvil: Several, depending on your evil preference. |
35 | ** Sanoci: OmnicidalNeutral BloodKnight and the god of Pride. |
36 | ** Darshendros: TheDevil and the god of[[OurDragonsAreDifferent dragons]]. |
37 | ** Halloran: Believes in TheEvilsOfFreeWill. The god of the WellIntentionedExtremist and the FaceHeelTurn. |
38 | ** Daimonas: ChessMaster [[{{Telepathy}} telepath]]. Fond of DemonicPossession. |
39 | ** Aphilam: TheVamp. Unsurprisingly, she DoesNotLikeMen |
