From Drake The Duelist aka Kaos Drake.Long ago, there was a war between two powerful races, the lycanthropes and the zaangr't. Little was known of the world before this catastrophic conflict, or even why the war started. It is known that the zaangr't won, but at great cost. The humans that remain have dubbed themselves "voidwalkers", as they have spent most of their time attempting to rebuild or at least reshape the ruined world, but the best they can do are to create realms. In these realms live the characters. All would seem well... but then the lycanthropes came back. And the zaangr't don't have the manpower or the willingness to stop them again, leaving it up to the voidwalkers to fight the hordes.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })There are a number of different overall factions in the story. The main focus is around a group comprised of Voidwalker Tapp, Voidwalker Lana, Voidwalker Angel, and Lycanthrope Kurias. Their story involves how these entities all meet one another, and how their struggles against the lycanthrope threat lead them to get wrapped up in a far older, far more dangerous conflict. | |

Humans by Any Other Name | |
| Science and Sorcery / int_1384ff11 | comment |
Humans by Any Other Name: Voidwalkers don't tend to have very unusual powers. Anything they can do can be explained away as a property of things they carry, usually hadron crystals, or as having learned some technique that any human (or whatever species they emulate) could learn given a voidwalker's life span. That said, not all voidwalkers are human. | |

Blade on a Stick | |
| Science and Sorcery / int_262861e1 | comment |
Blade on a Stick: The khraa'yu. These clunky halberds are very heavy and difficult for non-zaangr't to lift, though zaangr't can twirl them around like batons. These are the standard zaangr't weapon (though many zaangr't customize their own khraa'yu), as their upper body strength would make swords far too brittle. Khraa'yu sometimes have magical powers, if the zaangr't wielder is so inclined to enchant it. | |

Pun-Based Title: Survival of the Friendliest, a pun on "Survival of the Fittest". The short story Acuteness, referencing Kurias's enhanced lycanthrope senses, as well as his constant proximity to a cuteness in Angel. Averted by The Most Important Mission, as it implies a date. As it turned out, Lana and Tapp were just going undercover on a literal mission. | |

Wretched Hive | |
| Science and Sorcery / int_40cbee83 | comment |
Wretched Hive: The Maw of S'rraen, the zone beyond the Great Aegis where all the most dangerous lycanthropes live. Most zaangr't dare not set foot in it because of all the lycanthropes, who are easily the single most dangerous element of the Maw. It does make a pretty good place to hide if you don't want anybody to hassle you (except lycanthropes, who will hassle you relentlessly, but usually won't ask you questions). | |

Reincarnation | |

Reincarnation: Supposedly the energy that makes up a voidwalker's spirit is indestructible and will eventually coalesce into a new body. However, reincarnation is considered a mere theory, and a shaky one at that. No voidwalker can live long enough to actually confirm it with any accuracy. Only the zaangr't can tell for sure, and they aren't talking. | |

Magic Versus Science | |
| Science and Sorcery / int_511728ae | comment |
Magic Versus Science: Somewhat inevitable, given the title. The phenomena generally demonstrated in the story as either science or sorcery are simply explanations for things that happen, and neither science nor sorcery are the only way to achieve a specific result or explain a specific phenomenon. The problem is that most characters are biased heavily towards one path or the other. It is considered a sign of enlightenment to embrace both science and sorcery within the same world view. | |

| Science and Sorcery / int_7831c048 | comment |
So Much for Stealth: Tapp, Angel and Kurias first enter Redeemer and can't see, but Kurias can smell that they're surrounded by lycanthropes. Tapp tells Angel to not draw the Staff of Hosts and expose themselves, but she trips in the dark and draws it anyway. | |

The Missing Faction | |
| Science and Sorcery / int_783ff962 | comment |
The Missing Faction: To date, the zaangr't have not actually appeared in the story proper. They appear once in a flashback, and once in one of Voidwalker Angel's visions of dubious accuracy but not properly. Justified because the story revolves around entities who want to avoid messing with the zaangr't. | |

Plague of Good Fortune: Voidwalker Rykelle, the Rose-Haired Sweetie seen in Angel's visions. Rykelle was in fact so legendary for her luck that a biker thug named Lamech basically threatened her to use her luck to kill all his rivals. What Lamech failed to realize was that Rykelle is in fact so lucky that anybody who threatens her will meet with a gruesome end. Sure enough, a khraa'yu flies through the air and lops Lamech's arm off. | |

TransformationTrauma | |
| Science and Sorcery / int_93773e14 | comment |
Transformation Trauma: In order for them to shift to a human appearance, they have to asphyxiate themselves by attempting to breathe air for long enough. Likewise, becoming an icthyopod again requires them to drown themselves. (Voidwalkers have this a bit easier, given their greater pain threshold.) Since this is incredibly unpleasant for them, most icthyopods will either grow up into an adult icthyopod, at which point they lose the ability to transform, or they take on a human guise for the remainder of their natural lives... or presumably until they drown. | |

Lost in Translation: In universe. Because the zaangr't have much greater linguistic capabilities than humans, zk'tu carries a lot more meaning when spoken by an actual zaangr't capable of pronouncing the words correctly. Even "zk'tu" itself translates to "forked tongue", though in context this is understood to colloquially mean that their language is highly verbose and efficient compared to the far more limited phonetic capabilities of humans. | |

Politically-Active Princess | |
| Science and Sorcery / int_d3246c34 | comment |
Politically Active Princess: Euryale, through cultural force. Given how Our Mermaids Are Different, adult icthyopods figured that they could take advantage of how human their young spawn can look, and so they use their children as diplomats to interact with other races. While there are queens and kings in their hierarchy, they have grown out of their ability to change their physical form. | |

Our Dragons Are Different | |
| Science and Sorcery / int_d88e125e | comment |
Our Dragons Are Different: What few descriptions there are of zaangr't describe them as generally bipedal but colossal crimson-scaled reptiles that can stand around twice the height of the average human. They are known for short bursts of extremely quick movement, massive strength, and especially their forked tongues. Culturally, they are a highly pious race that were once The Paladin of the factions before the Old War forced the surviving zaangr't to tend towards a far more pragmatic stance of minimal intervention. | |

Unobtainium | |
| Science and Sorcery / int_da8c447e | comment |
Unobtainium: Lycanthrope skin is so strong that it is considered a harvestable alloy. Some refer to this alloy as blacksteel. Those who have studied it extensively have noticed that, while its density fluctuates, it can potentially be denser than any other known stable metal, leading some to think that blacksteel is actually some kind of empathic darkmatter. | |

Voice of the Legion | |
| Science and Sorcery / int_dc1c7647 | comment |
Voice of the Legion: Proteans. Could come off as Royal "We", given their typical arrogance, but their tendency to consume the powers of other voidwalkers into their own power is not without consequence. Proteans even narrate their own point of view as if they were a gestalt consciousness. | |

Five Rounds Rapid: More effective than you might think, considering that the Infinity Bridge has been fighting lycanthropes for a while by the start of the story, resulting in most conventional weapons being able to trump even lycanthrope hide. | |

Neglectful Precursors: Official zaangr't policy is to not interfere with the myuungr't, feeling that they bled and died enough for their sakes during the Old War. It is thought that they used to be more benevolent. The only amicable ones left are the r'tnkh. | |

Monster Progenitor | |
| Science and Sorcery / int_eb467486 | comment |
Monster Progenitor: The progenitors, massive lycanthropes that are incredibly difficult to kill. The only known one is the Leviathan, though it is thought that each genus owes its heritage to a progenitor. Slaying the progenitor can reverse the lycnathrope corruption on all lycanthropes under that progenitor's heritage. Unfortunately, the trauma of reversion, not to mention the grievious wounds that turned the victim into a lycanthrope in the first place, will almost always kill the victim anyway, leaving lycanthropy with no known practical cure. | |

Our Werewolves Are Different | |
| Science and Sorcery / int_f8b3fa5d | comment |
Our Werewolves Are Different: Lycanthropes were given the genus name "Paracanis" ('para' as in paranormal, and 'canis' as in dog), though they can appear in any number of forms, including serpents (Wyrm), birds (Ornithos), sharks (Carcharodon), bats (Chiropteran), and of course wolves (Hound). Hounds comprise the vast majority of the hordes, while the more exotic species can only be found deeper in the Maw of S'rraen. | |
