1''Godquest'' is an InteractiveComic drawn by [[Tropers/DrVox Jovian]], hosted on the ''Webcomic/MSPaintAdventures'' forums.
2
3On a planet named Rixile, ten gods and their races try to coexist together, but it's very hard to do so when there are conflicting alliances. Confounding matters are demons who constantly plague the races by exaggerating their worst flaws. Can the gods try to work together to eliminate the demons?
4
5Overall, an epic story with well-written characters, great worldbuilding, and plenty of humor to spare. Currently on [[SeriesHiatus hiatus]] after having completed its first season.

14!!''Godquest'' provides examples of:
15
16%%* AGodIsYou (Type A)
17* AlienBlood: The demons have bright green.
18* BlessedWithSuck: The icends have a greater affinity for communicating with spirits...but at the same time it allows them to be possessed more easily.
19* BodyHorror: The forcol have ''plants'' growing in them. Nocturne particularly finds it [[http://nixshadow.com/mspfa/?s=153&p=182 disturbing.]]
20* [[ChekhovsGun Chekhov's Gun]]: [[spoiler: Terra's urn later turns out to be a makeshift demon detector.]]
21* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Each of the gods is drawn solely in their representative color (e.g. yellow for Volt), while the demons have a colored aura corresponding to their initial.
22* DisneyVillainDeath: [[spoiler:'''Q'''ince, thanks to a crumbling cliff]].
23* DraggedByTheCollar: Cryos [[http://nixshadow.com/mspfa/?s=153&p=488 takes Sonata]] with her when the former wants to discuss the latter's supposed attack on her homeland.
24* EldritchLocation: Nocturne's sanctuary, [[http://nixshadow.com/mspfa/?s=153&p=177 The Gateway,]] is pretty bizarre. [[http://nixshadow.com/mspfa/?s=153&p=223 Galvan's cave]] is also said to have tunnels which stretch on forever.
25* ElementalPowers: Each god or goddess has one (being the embodiment thereof), along with a secondary domain (in parentheses):
26** ShockAndAwe: Volt (sky).
27** DishingOutDirt: Terra ([[TheBeastMaster animals]])
28** ExtraOreDinary: Galvan ([[TimeMaster time]])
29** AnIcePerson: Cryos ([[SoulPower spirit]])
30** BlowYouAway: Aether (mind)
31** GreenThumb: Phyll (the home)
32** PlayingWithFire: Ignus (justice)
33** MakingASplash: Mist ([[TheEmpath emotions]])
34** {{Lunacy}}: Nocturne ([[{{Teleportation}} space]])
35** ThePowerOfTheSun: Sonata (balance)
36* EyeScream: '''[[color:#006380:O]]'''berus tore out Galvan's right eye last time they fought. The latter wore a CoolMask to hide this ever since.
37* FantasyPantheon
38* GoneHorriblyRight: When Mist extinguishes the scorched parts of the forest after the rogue volkin attack, [[http://nixshadow.com/mspfa/?s=153&p=504 she goes overboard]] and turns it into a swamp.
39* GoryDiscretionShot: [[http://nixshadow.com/mspfa/?s=153&p=590 Ignus]] cuts to the chase and rips '''[[color:#801d00:B]]'''ryn a new one.
40* HornedHumanoid: Terra, Cryos, Ignus, the earthen and (male) icends.
41* IcePalace: [[http://nixshadow.com/mspfa/?s=153&p=29 Cryos]] can sure build a mean one.
42* ImagineSpot: Very often, to show what a particular god is thinking or conveying.
43* MegatonPunch: Aether delivers one to Nocturne [[http://nixshadow.com/mspfa/?s=153&p=272 here]].
44* MorphicResonance: According to [[WordOfGod Word of God]], the demons will carry a similar appearance across all disguises.
45* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Ignus razing his empire because of a corrupt emperor may have been cathartic, but when the realization dawns upon him that [[http://nixshadow.com/mspfa/?s=153&p=573 he has to rebuild everything from the ground up]]....
46* MythologyGag: The AprilFoolsDay gag sub-venture, ''[[http://mspaforums.com/showthread.php?33188-GODQUEST&p=4900706&viewfull=1#post4900706 Goddamned]]'', suggests Rixile was the byproduct of yet another [[Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} Sburb]] session.
47* OneWordTitle: Also a {{Portmantitle}} because its a compound word.
48* OurCentaursAreDifferent: Terra's Bestial form.
49* OurDemonsAreDifferent: There are 26 of them, each for [[AlphabeticalThemeNaming a letter of the Roman alphabet]]. Each one represents a negative human attribute, and can [[VoluntaryShapeshifting voluntarily shapeshift]] into a member of one of ten races. However, they retain some tells when doing so, making them easy to spot. Whenever one is killed, another one will come to replace the fallen in the space of a few decades.
50* PhysicalGod
51** PhysicalReligion
52* PlantPerson: The forcol, at least symbiotically.
53* PowerTattoo: [[http://nixshadow.com/mspfa/?s=153&p=40 Blitzers use electricity powers this way.]]
54* SchizoTech: Played for laughs with Volt's [[http://nixshadow.com/mspfa/?s=153&p=15 ice cream]].
55* SdrawkcabName: Rixile is "elixir" spelled backwards.
56* ShoutOut: Cryos pulls an [[Franchise/AceAttorney "OBJECTION"]] [[http://nixshadow.com/mspfa/?s=153&p=425 on Aether]] rather impressively. Also, this comic was, as WordOfGod [[http://s4.zetaboards.com/MSPAFA_Discuss_O_Mat/single/?p=8103341&t=8612019 says]], partly inspired by ''WesternAnimation/{{Wakfu}}''.
57* SillyReasonForWar: Invoked between [[http://nixshadow.com/mspfa/?s=153&p=522 Terra and Mist]]. Their potent [[TheRival rivalry]] could make anything a reason for war between their nations, be it sports, literature, or even what the best drink in Rixile is.
58* ThirstyDesert: [[http://nixshadow.com/mspfa/?s=153&p=482 The area]] between the countries of Nocturne and Sonata is a desert wasteland where both darklings and soli have to work together to survive in.
59* VestigialEmpire: Ignus.
60* VoluntaryShapeshifting: The gods when they engage their Bestial forms, and the demons when they're infiltrating on mortal affairs.
