The Descendants	comment	The Descendants is a Web Serial Novel, written by Landon Porter. It can best be described as an all text comic book, as it is presented in the form of issues, annuals, one shots and mini series just as if it was any other comic book universe.The main series follows a group of superhumans called descendants on the run from a the group behind a villainous Superhero School called the Academy. Events conspire from there to turn them from basically a Secret Project Refugee Family into a Super Team.Miniseries on the site also follow characters in other corners of the Descendants Universe such as the heroes who live in New York, or the students in a non-evil Superhero School.The entire series revels in playing with Comic Book Tropes and rejecting The Dark Age of Comic Books. Word Of God even states that early versions were a blatant Take That! at Marvel's Civil War and that as a whole, it strives to find the sweet spot between the Silver Age and the Bronze Age.Mostly, it sticks to Teen Hero books and family themes.An ebook was recently released: Welcome to Freeland House, which edits and collects the first eight issues.Not to be confused with the novel which was the basis of the 2011 film. Or the unrelated Disney Channel franchise Descendants.

The Descendants / int_17ce80aa	comment	All There in the Manual: Zig zags a bit. Reading only the main series is fine, and you get 99% of the stuff. However for all the small trivia about the future world, the prelates, faerie and everything else you need to not only read all the side stories, but the Q&A thread on the forums has stuff in it not answered anywhere. The RPG played on the forums (and set in the same universe) has some additional information too, but it's already more than 3,000 posts long.

The Descendants / int_25bc8511	comment	Generation Xerox: Played with, a lot. Cyn and Warrick more or less are Alexis and Ian as kids, and thanks to stasis they even have the same roommate. In the "possible future" issue they even get their own super-group in the future. However it looks like they're not going to end up together, and the more Character Development there is, the more what looked like a Generation Xerox at first gets less and less xeroxy. Word Of God says that originally, Cyn and Warrick were supposed to get together, but then the author ended up developing Tink, who was originally supposed to be a Romantic False Lead (along with Liz Von Stoker and presumably a few others, but they were cut when Tink became a permanent fixture).

The Descendants / int_da9d2f16	type	'90s Anti-Hero
The Descendants / int_da9d2f16	comment	'90s Anti-Hero: Deconstructed, any character that has the motivation and personality of one is a straight up villain here. See Samael: His defining characteristic? Pouches, lots of pouches. His fandom seems to share his views, in the PbP RPG they're playing on the website's forums one of the characters comments on a hulking man with tiny feet and, of course, pouches. Even Vorpal, who is the most woobish of the villains, gets a Shut Up, Hannibal! by the Knight in Sour Armour Hope, of all people.

The Descendants / int_dabc7a46	comment	Sixth Ranger: Primarily Juniper, but also Lisa, to an extent. Also Tink, and sort-of with Callie, because even though she's now officially part of the team, whether or not she'll actually become a main character is debatable.

The Descendants / int_e5421161	comment	Expy: Liedecker is essentially Diniverse Luthor played sane and much, much more dangerous. Batman has two: Barn Owl who is a Millionaire Playboy who Crime Fights With Cash and even has a Older Guardian in New York. And Umbrage/Shadow in Chicago, who is a Antiheroic cop on disability after being tortured. He goes after criminals at night and while he uses his powers to torture mobsters who got away with their crimes, he doesn't kill and has a sidekick who he admits is helping him to pull back from the edge.
