Our Cryptids Are More Mysterious

comment
Our Cryptids Are More Mysterious: All monsters are pulled from cryptozoology, particularly the quasi-supernatural, interdimensional cryptozoology of John Keel and other fringe conspiracy theorists.

Foregone Conclusion

comment
Foregone Conclusion: Jackie is arguably the protagonist of book one, but after her book ends she's never seen or mentioned again outside a brief flashback near the end of the second book.

comment
Good Scars, Evil Scars: Craig has chupacabra slashes on his shoulders and fleshgait bite on his right bicep, as well as a parachild slash across his abdomen from an attempted disembowelment. Chavayress Syvier, The Dragon of book two and his recurring nemesis, has a mutilated face from a nervous breakdown she suffered after being assaulted by her father.

Grey-and-Gray Morality
 Teenage Wastelands (Franchise) / int_7335ffa9
comment
Grey-and-Gray Morality: Moral ambiguity is a constant feature of the books. Nonhuman factions only want survival, and all human factions from Conjurors to the Society for the Security of Civilization, legitimately believe their way of life is superior to all others, and that their cause is to protect it.

Dolled-Up Installment: The lore and plot of books two and three came from an abandoned Screenplay Starrett wrote four years before Sky Valley was released.

Conlang: Though they don't have an entire spoken language, Conjurors do have a collective of terms that seem derived from Cajun French. Rulers are Raquins, Warriors are Malthaires, Telepathic spies are Nighthawks and their lowest rung are referred to as Dravaines.

Alternate History
 Teenage Wastelands (Franchise) / int_a86069f
comment
Alternate History: A Type III. Besides the fact that cryptids, telepathy, elemental powers, etc. all exist, in the book's universe World War II went on until 1953 and reached American Soil, leading to the advanced weaponry and cultural defensiveness seen throughout books two and three. Will mentions Reagan being successfully assassinated in book two.

comment
Adults Are Useless: All adults from book one. The adults of book two, outside the dreaded secret society, are either barely present or cannon fodder for the Conjuror Infiltration.

 Teenage Wastelands (Franchise) / int_d72b162f
comment
Technicolor Eyes: Those who can manipulate animals and elements, as well as read minds, have their eye colors change as a result of extensive neurological reprogramming. Most often this is yellow eyes in Conjurors and pink ones in nighthawks, but silver, green, and red are not unseen, either.

Only a Flesh Wound: Characters are frequently slashed, shot, and permanently scarred or damaged from constant conflict with either other teenagers or cryptids.

Recycled Script: Literally. Books two and three began as a screenplay Starrett failed to sell sometime in the early 2010s.
