Fallocaust	comment	Fallocaust is a post-apocalyptic science fiction series by Quil Carter.231 years after a nuclear catastrophe known as the Fallocaust, humanity has been all but wiped out, with the survivors centered in and around Skyfall, the last remaining city. Reaver Merrick is a young man and self-described sociopath who lives with his adoptive parents in Aras, a small town in the greywastes. Reaver's life changes forever when he falls in love with Killian, an innocent newcomer, and soon the two are drawn into a battle for control of what little remains of the world.Although the main series takes place in chronological order, each book in the series is accompanied by a companion novel set during a different time period and focusing on a specific character instead of an ensemble cast. However, since these books often introduce characters and plot concepts that will later become essential to the series, they're considered essential reading within the fandom.In order: Fallocaust, the first book in the series. Breaking Jade, The first companion novel. It focuses on Jade, a character introduced towards the end of Fallocaust. The Ghost and the Darkness,, The second novel in the series. Severing Sanguine, The second companion novel, focusing on Sanguine. The Suicide King, the third book in the main series. Garden of Spiders, the third companion novel, which follows Elish. A God Among Insects, the fourth novel in the main series. Garden of Spiders 2: House of Flies, the fourth companion novel, which follows Elish and Sanguine.

Fallocaust / int_173909	comment	Brainwashed and Crazy: A favorite technique of the Crimstones is to capture a sengil or cicaro and turn them against their masters. Any immortal possessed infested by proxy worms becomes this, but special mention goes to Jade and Sasha, who's empathic abilities make them ideally suited to become worm kings. Elish also gets this throughout A God Among Insects, being manipulated by a proxied Jade's telepathic powers into developing new strains of proxy worms under Jade's control, among other things. In an attempt to get Reaver to fall in love with him, Asher brainwashes Reaver to rape Killian.

Part of this is because he's mentally stunted and, while he's intelligent and can talk, he has the mannerisms of a dog and a near-constant sense of childlike wonder. A God Among Insects introduces Dexter, a lycan with a similar mental condition.

Fallocaust / int_1b77fe36	comment	Two-Person Love Triangle: Happens a few times. In The Suicide King Adler mentions his desire to find Asher, who he'd fallen in love with, and Silas, who had created him as a potential suitor, unaware that they're the same person. A particularly bizarre version with Sanguine, Crow, and Jack comes about in A God Among Insects. Crow and Sanguine are both in love with Jack, but for the majority of the book Crow is in control of Sanguine's body, and Jack initially only has eyes for Sanguine before developing feelings for Crow, as well. At the end of the book, when Crow gets a body of his own and Literal Split Personalities comes into play, he ultimately remains open to choosing him now that Sanguine's Lost Lenore Valen is back in the picture. Played with again in A God Among Insects with Silas, Sky, and Perish; Sky and Perish are both inhabiting Adler's body, with Sky as the abusive boyfriend working on his own agenda to destroy the chimeras and Perish working to sabotage Sky's efforts. Towards the end of the book Perish reveals that he's been in love with Silas all along, and resented Sky for his treatment of him and the resulting mess Silas became. Death of the Hypotenuse ensues as he insists Silas destroy them both, eliminating Sky from Silas's primary love triangle (Himself, Reno, and Sky)

Fallocaust / int_1beef720	comment	Living Forever Is Awesome: The good thing about immortality in this universe is that it's easy to pass it on to those you care about- ergo an immortal can spend an eternity with their lovers and friends. The only people who ever show misgiving over their immortality are Elish, who kills himself not knowing that Perish had already made him immortal, and Jade. By the time A God Among Insects rolls around, Reno's fallen squarely into the camp of Who Wants to Live Forever? His depression has gotten so bad that he refuses to even consider being made immortal, having seen the pain it's caused so many people, even while in a committed relationship with Garrett. When he's forcibly made immortal against his will by Reaver and Silas, he is not happy.

Eventually this is subverted entirely, with Silas choosing Reno after seeing Sky's true colours. He pulls this again in Garden of Spiders, telling Elish that although the two would make a perfect couple, Elish deserves to be with a man who can love him with all of his heart. Instead, he asks Elish to propose to him in thirteen years. He turns him down, again.

Fallocaust / int_2f329e3c	comment	Tomato in the Mirror: Reaver is a born immortal clone of Sky - Silas's deceased boyfriend. In The Suicide King Adler, another clone, is introduced. Killian and Luca are both clones of Silas. Due to the fact that some chimeras, such as Jade and Sanguine, are raised outside of the family until a certain age, some of them are unaware of their true nature until they're brought into the fold. So far this only applies to companion novels, since these characters are all fully aware of their heritage by the time of the main novels. Downplayed in A God Among Insects. In volume three, Elish becomes convinced that he's been infected by proxy worms, leading to his own unstable frame of mind. An MRI scan shows he's clear, but a comparison MRI of Jade's head during his own infection shows three proxy worms, when four were implanted in him. It turns out that Jade has been infected throughout the book, subtly manipulated into driving Elish to further the worm's agenda.

He can easily gauge the compatibility of two people just by glancing at their auras, and this power is used to gather allies to Elish's cause by offering his brothers a partner they'll feel a strong connection with at first sight, who Silas could hurt to keep them in line.]] Reno is just a normal guy, at least until the end of A God Among Insects, but he quickly proves to be among the most important characters in the whole franchise for a simple reason: he sees the good in everyone. This allows him to make a genuine connection with Silas and help him through his depression, eventually resulting in him changing to the point that his aura, once a black void, regains its original colour. He repeats this trick with Malachy in A God Among Insects.

Fallocaust / int_3c3f28a5	comment	Blessed with Suck: Technically applies to all empaths, but particularly Jade. On the plus side they get retrocognition, mind control, aura reading, and the ability to emulate the powers of chimeras they spend enough time with. On the other hand actually using these powers puts an enormous amount of strain on their brains, leading to seizures and severely limiting their lifespans- no mortal empath has ever lived past 24. In Jade's case he develops into one of, if not the most powerful empath of all time, but the amount of damage this does to his brain almost kills him more than once. Until he's made immortal, that is, and shows greater control and less drawbacks than any empath seen before. A God Among Insects reveals that Valen, the only previous empath chimera, gained immortality and was sealed in concrete for decades, and when he's released he quickly shown to rival Jade's power.

Although they consider themselves married they only refer to each other as such in private, although Jade does use their marriage to back up his point when arguing with Perish.

Fallocaust / int_680f950	comment	Gilligan Cut: The final chapter of A God Among Insects shows the survivors of the book coming up with a plan to stop the proxy worms once and for all, saving Jade, Silas, and Reaver from their fates. The epilogue has Reaver resurrecting an indeterminate amount of time later with Silas (Given the fact that they were trapped in a sestic fire, a fair assumption would be in the region of decades, at the very least) in a ruined Skyfall, showing that, at the very least, parts of the plan were unsuccessful.

In Reaverâ€™s case itâ€™s particularly glaring, since his aura is initially described as being close to a void, and Jade is terrified, but Killianâ€™s influence on him is so strong that it starts to change before the two even get together. Silas's aura is described similarly to Reaver's, but Jade reveals in A God Among Insects that Reno had such a positive effect on him that it's starting to regain its colour: green and gold.

Fallocaust / int_7335ffa9	comment	Grey-and-Gray Morality: Elish and Silas's conflict falls into this. Elish's reasons for hating Silas may be valid, but he's been manipulating things behind the scenes to keep him unstable for decades to try and garner allies for his cause. When push comes to shove, Silas proves time and time again that he can be a fair and effective ruler on occasion. Because of this it's pointed out that Elish is more concerned with ruling the world than he is with saving it. On the other hand Silas is dangerously unstable, prone to fits of rage, and has tortured and even killed both humans and chimera on a whim, and while few chimeras want to see him dead some of them- including Silas' bodyguard Sanguine- feel like he can't deal with the amount of pressure he's put under. However, it's gradually revealed that Silas suffers from severe mental and emotional issues, and is in dire need of help, and has enough self-awareness to recognize that he gave Elish a good reason to hate him. Even Jade acknowledges that the conflict isn't as black and white as he'd assumed.

Adding to that, Elish has spent decades intentionally sabotaging his efforts, and taking any successful Sky clones to help further his own plans, manipulating the situation to keep Silas unstable to garner more allies for his cause. By the time The Suicide King rolls around Silas is fully broken, to the point where he's verging into Death Seeker territory.

It was actually a signal blocker and, without it, the chimeras can hone in on their location. Leo, one of Elish's most loyal supporters, decides to abandon the cause and implant Perish with Sky's OLS, hoping that Silas would leave Reaver alone. Too bad that the resulting mental instability almost gets Killian, Reaver and Jade killed. Sanguine's attempts to save Nero and Ceph from the concrete prisons leads to Gage being released, and as a result all of Skyfall is almost destroyed. Elish and Reaver implanting Sky's OLS into Adler as opposed to Reaver himself directly results in Reaver, Killian, and Drake being kidnapped and sent to California.

Fallocaust / int_97522514	comment	Heelâ€“Face Revolving Door: Kerres. Although he never gives up his ultimate goal of getting Jade back, he works with the chimeras several times to save his life when the occasion calls for it. Perish has shades of this. Although his first meeting with Reaver and Killian involves keeping them captive and falling in love with Killian, the two come to genuinely like and trust him. Although this leads to a second round of Alone with the Psycho for Killian, it's more a result of having Sky's OLS implanted in him and the resulting mental instability than any maliciousness.

Fallocaust / int_eff83d77	comment	Mundane Utility: Jade's aura reading's main purpose is to give him an instinctive idea of a person's personality and mental state, but it also comes in handy when it comes to matching chimeras up with their ideal partners. too bad it only measures compatibility, not emotions. It's a very common ability among immortals to heat up, cool down or channel an electric current through their skin. Apart from the obvious combat applications, they can also use it to keep themselves warm in the cold.

It's common for immortals to pull this on themselves if they're badly hurt, incapacitated, captured, sick, or even just hungover.

Jade and Sasha have been fully taken over by worm kings, Reaver exploded and took Silas with him, effectively incapacitating them both for decades, and large parts of Skyfall have been completely taken over by the proxy worms. However, see Ray Of Hope ending.

Fallocaust / int_f96f8980	comment	Love Makes You Crazy: As different as they all are, one thing that all chimeras have in common is that they love hard. Losing a partner is enough to send them completely off the rails in a bad way. Jade's reaction when he was left in Moros by Elish was to become a serial killer. When Elish thinks that Jade has died he ends up killing an entire caravan that he'd befriended. After Killian leaves him briefly, Reaver decapitates Kiki, who he'd befriended, to prove his loyalty. The first time Silas lost Sky, he became the mad king. When he believes he's lost his final chance, Power Incontinence kicks in and he explodes.

Fallocaust / int_f9876f7e	comment	Faking the Dead: After Silas explodes in The Ghost and the Darkness, Reaver and Killian are presumed to be caught in the wreckage. Not knowing that Killian has been made immortal everyone assumes that he's dead and that Reaver will be trapped for decades, continuously dying and resurrecting, driven mad by the pain and isolation and cradling Killian's corpse. Unknown to them, Reaver managed to escape with his resurrecting boyfriend in tow and leaves to start a new life in the Plaguelands.

Fallocaust / int_fccd06b6	type	Beware the Nice Ones
Fallocaust / int_fccd06b6	comment	Beware the Nice Ones: Nice guys don't last long in the Greywastes without developing an edge fast. Reno is lovable, goofy and generally has a good heart. He's also a trained killer who routinely rapes any legionaires that threaten Aras in Fallocaust. By The Suicide King he routinely joins immortal chimeras in the field and emerges without a scratch. he's later adopted into the Dekker family, and is one of only a handful to survive the book unscathed. Killian first attracts Reaver's attention purely because he's innocent. He also manages to take down two born immortals with his quick thinking and detonate a radscorpion, all before he took so much as a single level in badass.

Fallocaust / int_fd81c335	type	Nurture over Nature
Fallocaust / int_fd81c335	comment	Nurture over Nature: Zigzagged. Silas intentionally places chimeras in environments that will mold them into the perfect person for whatever he has planned for them, or else he did, before Sanguine was captured by a pedophile. After that he downplays this trope- while he still places chimeras in orphanages or with adoptive parents, he makes sure that wherever they are he can keep an eye on them. On the other hand, certain traits (such as homosexuality and bloodlust) are always present in chimeras, regardless of upbringing. Turns out to be the case with the Sky and Silas clones. Both Reaver and Adler (the Sky clones) are raised in the Greywastes to exacerbate their more violent tendencies, whereas the Silas clones (Killian, Luca, and an unknown third) are raised, respectively, in a factory town, Autumnhome, and in the Greywastes. Elish, ever the Chessmaster, raised the Silas clones in a variety of environments until one developed to be best suited for his plans.

Fallocaust / int_ff7e9adf	comment	Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Although they're by no means above violence and manipulation to get their way, Killian and Luca are two of the most consistently good and honest characters in the series. Since they're both clones of Silas, it's implied that he used to be this, and it's outright stated by Perish that Killian is who Silas would have ended up as had he been given the chance. Chally, though plays this dead straight, as does Finn.
