1	A [[DarthWiki/UnpublishedWorks "TV show"]] created by [=DoomTay=] that premiered in 2047, starring a character named [[TheDanza Taylor]], who has a little too much of the author in him.
2
3	The story begins when resident [[ConvenientlyAnOrphan orphan]] Taylor who is attracted to a floating portal. He walks in and realizes he's TrappedInAnotherWorld and initially has [[OntologicalMystery no idea]] [[FishOutOfWater why]]. Only that his issues with [[PowerIncontinence controlling]] his pyrokinesis puts others in danger. After bawling from accidentally blowing up a village, he is rescued by an Aeolad [[OurMonstersAreDifferent (air nymph)]] named Angelica rescues him, and explained that he has shown signs of being the next in line to take up the position of the Protector, the hero of this other world. He initially rejects the call, though after being forced to kill a {{Brainwashed}} fauna, he changes his mind. He learns about the titular {{MacGuffin}}s and starts to look from them. The plot unfolds from there.

5	For a first series, it has become ''incredibly'' polarizing.
6
7	The series also is noted for the sheer number of tropes that are either {{Deconstructed}} or PlayedForDrama.
8
9	Not to be confused with any of the six movies or other TV series named The Protector. At all.

11	!Characters
12	'''Taylor'''
13	->"I've always wondered what a female [[OurMinotaursAreDifferent minotaur]] would look like. Part of me says it's like a male but more feminine, another part of me says it'll be cow-like as opposed to bull-like, and yet another part of me says I'm better off not knowing the answer."
14	%%* BreakTheCutie
15	%%* BuffySpeak
16	* CatchPhrase: "Yeah, I'm weird that way." Subverted in that it's used both positively and negatively
17	%%* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}
18	%%* DualWielding
19	* KidHero: Only twelve years old and forced to be TheHero. He blames the birth defect that caused his powers to unlock too early.
20	%%* PlayingWithFire
21	%%* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness
22	* TookALevelInBadass: Quite gradually. Even after he gets a grip on everything in the Season 1 Finale, he was still prone to snap under pressure for a long while.
23	%%* TheWoobie
24
25	'''Angelica'''
26	-> '''Angelica''': (Notices Taylor shuddering) Hmm? What's wrong?
27	-> '''Taylor''': Eh, sorry. See, where I come from, there's something called [[GirlsHaveCooties cooties]].
28	-> '''Angelica''': Oh? How do you know it's not... [[DoubleEntendre something else]]?
29	%%* BlowYouAway
30	* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Starts out with offscreen nudity, acquires clothes afterward
31	%%* MamaBear
32	* TeamMom: Mainly to Taylor to help him [[TookALevelInBadass take a level in Badass]]
33	%%* WingedHumanoid
34
35	'''Solu Adirolf'''
36	%%* CombatMedic
37	* MixAndMatchCritters: She's basically an elf-unicorn centaur
38	* OurElvesAreDifferent: Or not. Even after joining the Fellowship, Solu can be a bit rough.

40	!This series provides non character-specific examples of
41	* AliensSpeakingEnglish: Well, if you consider the inhabitants aliens. Justified as they were taught English by an earlier Protector. That was way back in the 16th century, and as a result natives have a thick accent.
42	* ContentWarnings: At the beginning of each episode. It is designed to draw attention to the small ratings box in the upper right corner.
43	* ConvectionSchmonvection: Averted, as whenever Taylor breaks out his fire powers, others squint, and eventually someone complains "What are you trying to do, cook us to death!?"
44	* DontExplainTheJoke: The DVDCommentary is ''very'' guilty of this. Thankfully, the series itself barely goes outside of explaining a monster to those unfamiliar with Greek mythology
45	%%* {{Deconstruction}}: Hoo boy
46	* DumbMuscle: The minotaur. A RunningGag is made fro, how easy it is for one to get its horns stuck in a wall. When it's already equipped with a hammer!
47	%%* EmotionalTorque
48	%%* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin
49	%%* FishOutOfWater
50	* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Takes portions of old folk sayings. The pilot is appropriately named "A FishOutOfWater".
51	* JitterCam: The shakier the camera, the more tense the scene is meant to be. Parodied when starting an argument causes the camera to jump from slight movements to StarTrekShake-bouncy.
52	%%* MorphWeapon
53	* OurElvesAreDifferent: From the TrueCompanions' view, they're downright [[UnusualEuphemism narwhals]], as they bully Solu because she's perceived as a monster.
54	* OnlyOneName: Almost ''everyone''. Justified in Taylor's case due to missing a birth certificate, and most others in the Myth World as that's how naming works.
55	* OurMonstersAreDifferent: Behavior-wise, they stick close to the original myths. Though the above harpy is re imagined as a giant bird with the head of a crazy old lady, and a terrifying scream.
56	* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: A female's body is flat-chested for a streamlines shape, and is overall built more like a male, save for the head. Both genders lack nipples. The only evidence of this comes from characters' commentary.
57	* RatedMForManly: Parodied out-of-show when the creator showed a gag poster featuring the TrueCompanions, and all of them, ''even the girls'' had [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar North Star-esque]] faces.
58	%%* TrappedInAnotherWorld
59	* UnusualEuphemism: Elves use "narwhal" as an equivalent of "idiot" that is used lightheartedly and condescendingly. The key point in differentiating the two uses is the tone in which it's said.
60	* WartsAndAll: Solu's debut episode. He hears that the Protector is on his way to her home town and gets excited...then goes into a bit of a shock when she realizes he's just a kid.
