Line #24 Webcomic/PowerofEther


1	''Power of Ether'' is a Sci-FI/fantasy webcomic, with some drama and comedy thrown in for good measure. The comic is about 5 young adults, who find themselves stuck on a ship headed to a continent full of people with superpowers. Thing is, these super-powered people, or “Gifted” as they are known in-universe, were all forcibly removed from their homeland several generations ago, so it’s safe to assume that they won’t be very welcoming of the protagonists. Presumably.

3	The comic first started on the 12th of January, 2015. Since then the comic has been updated quite erratically, but consistently, and undergone a great deal of Art Evolution in that time.

8	!!''Power of Ether'' contains examples of:
9	* AnachronismStew: [[http://www.powerofether.com/archive/13-comic-1-10 Genetic manipulation]] was invented before [[http://www.powerofether.com/archive/14-comic-1-11 sea travel]] in this world. It kind of makes sense, as the whole of humanity was too busy being at war with each other to bother with exploring the world.
10	* ArtEvolution: Compare the [[http://www.powerofether.com/archive/1-comic-1-1 first]] comic to one just [[http://www.powerofether.com/archive/39-comic-2-15 2 chapters later.]]
11	* BerserkButton: For Cassandra. Don't call her [[http://www.powerofether.com/archive/35-comic2-12 "Sugar!”]].
12	* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: Isaac and Cassandra’s parents were drug addicts, often neglecting their children, or taking out their anger on them.]]
13	* EmotionlessGirl: Downplayed with Blake. She generally has a neutral expression, though not always.
14	* FieryRedhead: Cassandra really has a temper sometimes. See berserk button above.
15	* GenkiGirl: Olivia has her moments.
16	* HalfIdenticalTwins: Cassandra and Isaac. Downplayed in that they have quite different physical appearances.
17	* {{Hammerspace}}: Justified, as technology has apparently improved to the point where people can make "bottomless pockets." Nothing organic can go in though, only materials and inanimate objects.
18	** Exactly how they work is still a mystery though.
19	--> '''Dax:''' '' 'Alright, in layman's terms, they get a giant bag and squeeze the space insi-' (Olivia gets a little too close to covering her head with it) 'DON'T PUT YOUR HEAD IN IT!' ''
20	* HealingFactor: [[spoiler:Lady Gwenovere]] can heal injuries. And apparently she reciving them.
21	* InTheHood: Blake wears a [[http://www.powerofether.com/archive/30-comic-2-09 full-body hooded cloak.]]
22	* NervesOfSteel: Cassandra: What do you do when some stranger has teleported behind you and pulled a knife to your neck? Insult him and beat him up.
23	* NoodleIncident /NoodleImplements: No one really knows what Olivia was planning to do in [[http://www.powerofether.com/archive/15-comic-1-12 this]] comic...
24	--> '''Dax:''' ''I am NOT your bloody Ken Doll! Ok?!''
25	* PunctuatedForEmphasis: [[http://www.powerofether.com/archive/35-comic2-12 “No one. Calls. Me. Sugar!”]]
26	* RetCon: The original first chapter has been redrawn, as Damien himself couldn't stand to look at the first few, let alone new readers.
27	* SpikyHair: Dax’s hair almost literally looks like a brown buzz-saw.
28	** Quite a few non-main characters also have hair that consists of spikes.
29	* TankTopTomboy: Cassandra’s normal clothes are a tank-top and track pants. Though so is Isaac’s, so…
30	* TheWarRoom: Well, it's implied to be an emergency meeting room for all the faction leaders, but it still [[http://www.powerofether.com/archive/14-comic-1-11 looks]] like it.
31	* TwoGirlsToATeam: Inverted. There are only 2 guys in the main 3 characters, Dax and Issac.
32	* VillainTeleportation: Alfie can teleport himself and at least one other person. Though it apparently has a cooldown, as he doesn’t use it to escape.
