Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire is a webcomic started by Michael "Mookie" Terracciano on May 21, 2002. It follows the life and times of Dominic Deegan, a messianic yet pessimistic seer who travels about with Spark, his feline comic relief, and assorted companions. Originally a lighter strip based on puns and wordplay, Cerebus Syndrome ensued, arguably starting with the "Visions of Doom" arc, but certainly by "Storm of Souls".On May 24, 2013, the comic ended at 3,000 comics. A set of colored epilogue prints, some with art by Garth Graham, were later published. A half-hour documentary about the making of the comic, See For Yourself: The Dominic Deegan Story, was released by TriFocal Productions.In May 2015, Mookie revealed that a new stretch goal for the Patreon of Star Power would be a sequel comic called The Legacy of Dominic Deegan, set two centuries after the original comic. As of 2018, however, this stretch goal has not been attained, but in July 2019, The Legacy of Dominic Deegan officially began. | |

Parent ex Machina | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_10636e01 | comment |
Parent ex Machina: Miranda, somewhat exceptional in that the main character is (ostensibly) no longer a child. Actually lampshaded at one point when Miranda tries a few puns on the phrase, including "Mama Ex Machina" and "Deus Ex Momina," and, after seeing the confused reactions of her audience, she settles for, "I'm his mother, and I'm going to fix everything." | |

Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_133f5d54 | comment |
Phantom Zone: A nameless, Lovecraftian dimension exists that has, so far, been used as a convenient way to get rid of villains so they can return later. Although the indiscriminate infiltration of tentacles into their various orifices seems to be a bad side effect of staying in this dimension for too long. | |

Dragon-in-Chief | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_13c1fec8 | comment |
Dragon-in-Chief / The Man Behind the Man: Either the King of Callan is behind the (currently weakened) Beast's rise to power or the King is the Beast's Dragon-In-Chief (it seems to be the latter). Hijacked by Ganon: While the timeline is not exactly clear yet on when exactly he rose to power, if David Johann was king during the Callan/Orc war and thus condoned the atrocities which Warlord Damaske perpetrated, then this would make him indirectly responsible for a good portion of the bad events in the Deegan-verse that have affected the main characters directly—Thuen Gor's curse (and its effect on Luna), Karnak's fall, Siegfried's corruption and everything that came of it, what happened to Maltak... For certain, now that he has the Infernomancer working for him (by proxy) this makes him a threat to everyone, even Karnak. Whether this will result in an Enemy Mine later (albeit one certain to break due to Karnak's lack of trustworthiness and Celesto's descent into madness / possible corruption by the Beast), it seems as if Johann is shaping up to be the ultimate Big Bad of the comic. He was. And in fact the Beast was only the king's eyes given life and sentience by their view of the Heart of Magic, plus the power of the Elemecca, so it was the actual Dragon-in-Chief. | |

Jumping Off the Slippery Slope | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_1520ad7e | comment |
Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: A certain elemental goes from a womanising scumbag to an insane mass of death earth attempting to kill one of the main characters. Then again, it was less "jumping" and more "shoved by Jacob". Dominic thinks that Celesto is going off the deep end with his insane scheme to implicate the King and the Beast by murdering Chance with a fake Beast. What really worries Dominic is that Celesto is positively giddy about this plan. The power boost in chaotic magic from being the Champion of Chaos and fighting The Beast's influence on his mind is eroding his will and slowly but surely pushing him to the edge. | |

Only Six Faces | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_18a84025 | comment |
Only Six Faces: Lampshaded here. There are other occasions where it's clear that Mookie is aware of it. Dex Garrit and Dominic Deegan look alike because they share similar hair. The mystery and dramatic reveal of the Oracle Hunter's identity was only able to keep the reader guessing because of this trope. Gets kind of ridiculous when you add Generation Xerox: Dom and Greg look like their mother and father while their older brother has their mother's parents' hair and better-than-thou attitude. It also kind of messed-up the dramatic entry of The Infernomancer into the Beast's and King Johann's plot since he wasn't named and he looks like a buffed-up Greg with cool gauntlets. | |

Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_208c4494 | comment |
With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: Dominic thinks that Celesto is suffering from this due to keeping his powers as the Champion of Chaos. According to Dominic, humans aren't built to wield that kind of power indefinitely and that it's warping Celesto's mind. | |

Framing the Guilty Party | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_216dab44 | comment |
Framing the Guilty Party: Celesto's plan to expose the King's partnership with The Beast. Dominic takes a third option by saving Celesto's would-be victim and displays an image of the King and The Beast together that is enough to arouse suspicion in the eyes of the public. The same plan is also employed simultaneously to use the paintings of an artist driven mad by the Beast (and Amelia) to expose the battlecasters' corruption. Again, Luna takes a third option by making the battlecasters and Celesto visible to the gallery guests while still saving the innocent mages' lives. | |

Some of My Best Friends Are X: Siegfried uses almost the trope name in the 'War in Hell' storyline after Dominic calls him a racist. Unusually, what he says is absolutely true and not particularly tainted by stereotyping or tokenism: One of his best friends is a spellwolf. It's just orcs. He has this huge problem with orcs. Oh, but "orcs aren't people." | |

Two Guys and a Girl | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_2dff6b95 | comment |
Two Guys and a Girl: A repeated trope to the point the Xerox is starting to edge onto Naruto's turf. Donovan, Miranda, and Karnak seem to have been this, though it's unclear how Karnak felt about Donovan most of the time. Stonewater, Grenchka, and Bulgak also follow this pattern, with a variation in that Bulgak knew Grench first, but does not get her. Milov, Jayden, and Siegfried are eventually revealed to have been this not just in gender combo but in dynamic. This seems to be the preferred composition of any given adventuring party in the setting, which owes a lot to fantasy RPG conventions, though not in the story. Greg, Luna, and Dominic fell into it early on, and if Szark had been a little more sane in his intro and the plot a little more conventional, he probably would have wound up a party with Dominic and Luna and given us the variant where the girl and one of the guys both like the other guy. Instead he's just the Pet Homosexual. Mookie does like threes, though. | |

Strange Minds Think Alike: In the first story arc, both Siegfried and Spark use the phrase, "In my defense, it had tusks" to describe Luna (which Dominic catches right away when Spark says it). The two instances occur several days apart. Subverted in the second case, as it turns out Spark wasn't referring to Luna, but to a sea monster that also had tusks. | |

Cursed with Awesome | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_309b8806 | comment |
Cursed with Awesome: Dominic has complained since the very first strip about the burdens of being a seer, especially his gift of random visions. He wanted to help people with his gift; instead the comic opens In Medias Res with him being a fortune teller for a town of complete idiots. Dex Garrett is a resistant, meaning he suffers from a rare condition that renders him completely immune to magic, both helpful and harmful. It also makes it very difficult for him to find stable work that play to Dex's strengths (high risk jobs), because employers have to pay heavy taxes and rifle through ridiculous amounts of paperwork to hire one. Spark considered the curse put on Dominic in the first arc (which caused fish to appear out of nowhere and land on Dominic's head whenever he smoked) to be this. | |

Out of Focus: Given the comic's large character base and varied locations, it's not uncommon for the focus to change drastically from arc to arc. Supporting characters like Milov and Jayden will sometimes disappear for arcs at a time, and even main characters like Dominic and Luna will occasionally take an arc off. After the end of the Maltak arc, Dominic and Luna were absent from the comic for nearly an entire year. | |

Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_35543514 | comment |
Just Eat Gilligan: The treasure of Luana is an artifact that acts as a key, allowing its holder to open the door to the Heart of Magic. It has been stated that the Heart of Magic is not meant for mortals. Even though all of its guardians believe that any attempt to approach the Heart of Magic is an incredibly foolish act that can only ever lead to disaster, they make no effort to destroy it until the Big Bad tries to claim it. They succeed in destroying it, but the Big Bad proceeds to consume Dominic's second sight and gloats that it can just use that to find another way to unlock the Heart of Magic. | |

Rule of Cool: Mookie is known to invoke continuity errors or unexplained events for the sake of coolness. For example: why does Melna's hammer have lightning coming from it when she kills the Doma chief? Because "it's pretty f* cking metal." Mookie also invoked this involving a Rain of Arrows that inexpicably changed direction from one strip to another: | |

Death Is Cheap | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_37fcf16 | comment |
Death is Cheap: Death is always dramatic, as the trope requires, but doesn't ever seem to stick for major characters. Unless your soul gets destroyed, in which case you're pretty much fucked. This could be a result of the comic spending so much time in dreams and mindscapes. Also, Necromancers as a general rule tend to come back when they die, so you have to make sure they're really dead. | |

Stunt gets Character Development, eventually. Siegfried gets some of that and it was perfectly possible to be somewhat attached to him, but he also gets killed, and dragged to hell, and turned into a demon servant, and then the true depths of his cruelty and self-delusion are displayed at length as he gloats in his brief ascendancy in hell, and then he gets his ass handed to him again, and then a guy's soul explodes and he's a pathetic, crippled demon, and then he eats his father's still-talking severed head in revenge for raising him to be a psycho, and was last seen crying for somebody, anybody, to help him. | |

"I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight: Dominic's mindscape battle with Szark. Dominic, on the verge of mindbreak and being corrupted by the Beast, is snapped out of it and able to unify the two halves of himself with the help of his students. Specifically Prento using the same combination of spells he did when trying to save him from Barnet, and later mindbreak, with the same anticlimactic result—but identifying that Prento was real and not just one of the Beast's illusions. | |

Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_43f2f606 | comment |
Annoying Arrows: Dominic gets an arrowhead embedded into his arm without even flinching. He sports a dressing that afternoon, and walks with a cane using that arm the following day. Used as Non-Lethal Warfare at the climax of the Maltak arc. Eltu takes an arrow in the back, and is back in time for a Big Damn Heroes moment three strips later. Then again, in the strip just before Eltu was shot, Suyan asked the archer he'd been traveling with NOT to shoot to kill, which the other Rhazgala archers had been ordered to do. Hell, that very same arrow gets thrust into the assailant's NECK, and he just rips it out a few strips later as well. One is left wondering why people even keep using arrows if they're this ineffective. | |

Becoming the Mask: From the looks of things, Celesto's "familiarity" with the Beast after being trapped in the Elemecca with it for so long, and subsequent impersonation of it to reveal its connection to the king of Callan, has made him...a bit too susceptible to its power. Luckily he seems to have overcome this...just in time to die helping take the Beast out. | |

Harmless Freezing: Ice spells have a tendency to do this, which is handy, because they're the weapon-of-choice for several of the good guys.

Averted with Snowsong, who turns a Golem into living ice so he can watch himself melt. | |

Break the Cutie: Inverted; Luna is introduced at the climax of her mother's year-long campaign of breaking her, and saved from suicide by Dominic. We learn more about the process in various flashbacks. Most of her character development revolves around the slow recovery of her sense of self-worth. Gregory is also somewhat subject to this trope, particularly in a couple of the later story arcs. | |

Wham Shot: Occurs in this strip when the storms hammering Maltak finally subsided, and all the orcs assembled at the border ran back to their homeland... to find it reduced to a desolate, lifeless wasteland. Donovan's reaction to all this 4 strips later tells the tale. | |

Good Scars, Evil Scars | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_4efc4fae | comment |
Good Scars, Evil Scars: Nimmel, a good-natured graduate of the School of Arcane Arts is introduced with a scar encompassing his right eye and a good chunk of flesh around it, which was deliberately made to look as nasty as possible. He'd gotten the scar from an attack on the school, and his telling the attacker where to find Miranda, which ended the attack, is seen as cowardice by him. As he gains prominence, his scar looks a bit better, and Luna gets him to see that he saved his classmates' lives by telling the attacker, and he shouldn't think himself a coward for it. | |

Yin-Yang Bomb | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_5669577c | comment |
Yin-Yang Bomb: Luna in the March Across Maltak. Also a case of Light Is Not Good and Dark Is Not Evil. Earlier, there was Dominic as the Avatar Of Balance in the "Storm of Souls" arc. It seems to be a recurring theme in the comic. And also comes up near the climax when Jacob has a revelation about true necromancy, directly tied to his experiences in Maltak. He realizes that necromantic corruption is actually life magic twisted to destruction, which is why it can endlessly grow and consume. He is then able to use necromancy, merging creation and destruction, to cure a massive case of blight from hundreds of people. | |

No Bisexuals | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_5679208c | comment |
No Bisexuals: Szark was apparently deluding himself that he was turned on by his wife back when he was a hedonist, even though hedonists don't go in much for that. Because he's gay now. Totally. And doesn't like women and makes gay jokes pretty much every time he opens his mouth. It's part of the Heel–Face Turn package. The monks helped him realize it and now he's comfortable with himself. Because obviously only people who're sunk deep into depravity would like both girls and guys, and they also usually express that by having threesomes. Although, since he describes "the feeling he felt towards girls" as how he felt about killing other people for pleasure, it's quite likely that he means that it was something that brought him short-term pleasure but knew deep down wasn't what he wanted. Szark's relationship with Luna's sister is heavily implied to be the result of her using magic to enchant him, and that he has been gay all along. He even mentions that he was crushing on Dominic for a while when they were younger. During 'Two Thief' Szark makes a passing remark (and a tasteless joke) that revealed that at some point during the several hours Amelia had Bumper as her brainwashed 'exotic toy,' they fit in a foursome. This is technically rape, and one has to hope Bumper doesn't remember. That night was traumatic enough for him. Actually, that was established in the original arc. Background of panel two. He seems to be asleep. Celesto Morgan: Although, from what we have seen of him, he is more asexual, using sex simply as a tool for manipulating others. | |

Dark Is Not Evil | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_575fd5e2 | comment |
Dark Is Not Evil: Rilian, the first necromancer, is basically a walking skeleton. In the Around the World arc, he masquerades as a fat jolly necromancer named Brian. This is said to be what he used to be like before the problems of the world and the weight of centuries made him bitter and unpleasantly pragmatic. The Nakta and the Akta are all about this. Specifically the Nakta while dark can be used to take another persons pain into yourself healing them while hurting you. Toward the end the Akta is used to steal life from others to strengthen the user. Black magic in general embraces this trope. Although fueling spells with negative emotions like anger, sorrow, or hatred does presumably have a long-term net negative effect on the psyche, it appears to be magic focused on the principle of destruction rather than magic that is inherently evil, the exception being Infernomancy which specifically is magic of Hell. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: Racism is rampant in the kingdom of Callan, specifically towards Orcs. It really came to a head with the Orc War. Callanians and Semashi don't seem to get along easily, either. Quite frankly, there isn't a nation on the planet that doesn't or at least hasn't indulged in this. Luna, a human with unusually large lower canines, has suffered spillover racism on occasion as well (her teeth look like orc tusks... at least to humans; orcs can easily tell the difference). That's the only thing she has in common with orcs, but nobody said racism was rational. Oddly enough Luna's colleague Melna, an actual orc, has suffered far more at the hands of other orcs in her homeland than she ever did in Callan. | |

Author Appeal | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_6627695f | comment |
Author Appeal: In his news posts, Mookie's often admitted his love for certain elements in the comic. Characters have spent entire strips focusing on food or drink that Mookie likes. Dominic's favorite food is Mavpel candy, an admitted Expy of one of Mookie's favorite candies. He's more recently admitted that he likes drawing muscular orc girls because, well, he likes muscular orc girls. Also, he is unapologetically a child of The '80s. He's hinted that he may have a certain fondness for breasts. The B.Y.O.B. arc, according to the blurb this comic, is Mookie's tribute to metal—but it's directly inspired by a band he doesn't like. | |

Author Avatar: Not Dominic, as you might have thought. Mookie has stated (in his third book) that Dominic's father Donovan is who he considers to be most like himself. Indeed, the two often behave similarly, and share a sense of humor. The confusion largely stems from the fact that, when he draws himself, Mookie's self-portrait is virtually identical to Dominic. This is partly due to a serious case of Only Six Faces. | |

Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_66ea7e5c | comment |
Brought Down to Normal: Gregory Deegan is unable to use white magic for most of the Snowsong arc. More recently, his ability to use white magic was ripped out entirely. So far, it's actually stuck. Word of God says that it's going to stick forever. Also, Jayden spoke the First Heresy of Hell near the beginning of the comic. Funny thing, when a priestess renounces her faith. Dominic loses his Second Sight forever when it returns to the Heart of Magic. | |

Evil Poacher: The "tour guides" of the Wild Edge are poachers in the off-season. Despite this, they seem to prefer to take their prey alive by using tranquilizers and nets. Although, alternately, given they apparently have no problem with slicing off bits of the tranquilized animal and then leaving it to bleed to death suggests they're not exactly humanitarian in their methods. | |

The Reveal | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_6b2b3b59 | comment |
The Reveal: Throughout the Oracle Hunter Arc, it's heavily implied that Barnet is the illegitimate child of Donovan and a woman he dated prior to meeting Miranda, making her Dominic's half-sister. However, it's later revealed that she's actually one of Luna's sisters. The identity of the Beast's power source/magical ally in the mortal plane: the king of Callan. Extended when it is revealed that, "political implications aside", he was not only the first human ever allowed to join the Circle of the Archmagi, a circle was actually invented for him to hold. He is one of the most powerful magi in Callanian history, and he's trying to kill them all. | |

Meaningful Name | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Donovan's orcish name, for one. For two, Stonewater. For three, Huk Thak. For four, Rocky the golem. On a more symbolic note, "Karnak" is old orcish for "The Morning Star". Which comes off as Fridge Brilliance when you consider that he uses Bulgak as an exploding ball of doom wrapped around a chain by throwing him on their enemies. Stunt is stunted. The religion of his homeland, Scaplianism (it's not as sexually liberated as Luanianism and his father being religious and abusive didn't help his view) might be a shout-out/take that at Episcopalians. The town of Lynn's Brook is named after the author's high school. It's full of idiots. It later gets destroyed and Dom's parting gift is a hailstorm of thick books. | |

The Power of Legacy: Used twice: once when Donovan sees Karnak jump into Hell after beating him to a pulp, he chooses not to tell Miranda about what had happened. Later on, Dominic follows his father's example by telling Milov and Jayden that Siegfried died as a knight of Callan, even though he was a genocidal maniac who promptly went to Hell. The first example is the Trope Namer and is found here. The second one is here. | |

Armor-Piercing Question: Jayden pulls a good one on Rilian when Stunt needs help dealing with his Dark and Troubled Past before dealing with the problems in the present. All Rilian can do in response is give a couple of beats and give Stunt five minutes with the scrying pool without looking like a complete jerkass. A more lighthearted one occurs very early on in the series, when Dominic is inflicted with a curse that makes a fish fall on his head every time he takes a puff on his pipe. He recruits Bumper and Stunt to steal the cure from the sorceress that did it. This exchange of armor piercing questions occurs between Dominic and Stunt: | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_7d89315b | comment |
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: The Beast delivers one to Celesto: This is subverted, however, when in the end Celesto not only uses his chaos magic to blow up the Beast's corrupted clone of Dominic, he sacrifices himself with a detonation when the Beast tries to pull him down into the heart of the Elemecca with it. Just prior to this, both Dominic and Celesto get to give their own "The Reason You Suck" Speech back to the Beast, and even Mookie gets in on the act in the newspost. | |

Off with His Head! | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_7e6c0522 | comment |
Off with His Head!: King David's fate courtesy of Stunt, after Donovan stabbed him In the Back. (And then he gets blown up along with the Sanctum.) Earlier in the comic, the Doma chief's fate, courtesy of Melna, thus avenging her family. Made more awesome by being delivered not with a sword-blow, but by smashing it clear off his shoulders with Stonewater's hammer. And in the very first arc, this is how Siegfried kills Croona Travoria after he gets to hear her admit everything about her plan to get Luna to kill herself. | |

A twofer Nice Job Breaking It, Hero, involving Gregory and Brett Taggerty. First, a wasted Brett punches out Pamela, whom Gregory has a crush on, and dares him to fight back using his white magic. Gregory erupts into a geyser of white fire. Oops. The resulting tidal wave of White Magic heals everyone in the hospital...with the unintended side effect of powering up Brett and the rest of his Slaughterball team, and sobers them up, too. Oops. | |

Establishing Character Moment | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_7febc23b | comment |
Donovan, having been established as an ostensible goofball dad with zany plots, legendarily bad Orcish, and an overall tendency to be the distraction but otherwise have little impact or relevance to the plot, proves not only his competence, badassery, and the reasons Miranda loves him, but reveals after seven years (real world time) that he's always been able to speak perfect Orcish. This strings a lot of unrelated side-jokes into a single, Batman Gambit -style epic practical joke spanning decades against an entire foreign nation, and afterward he becomes much more of a force on the plot. The reason for the reveal? He realized that revealing the joke had reached the point of being funnier than continuing the subterfuge. | |

Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: While there are quite a few characters who have not been heard from for a while (possibly to make a cameo later) the most infamous example to some fans is Brok who just vanishes from the comic completely with only passing mention from Stunt and Bumper later about losing him. Granted that he was only a hired thug, it still felt odd to just drop him. Word of God was that Brok himself was a reference to one of Mookie's friends, and on reflection Mookie felt he didn't really "fit" in the comic. | |

Jerk Jock: Brett Taggerty and the majority of the Baccdair Brawlers fit this trope perfectly. Dex Garrit and Rachel Hart are the only athletes who don't. Several of the werewolves we've seen at Coldfire Academy fit this profile. Some of them soften, though, after the Alpha Bitch goes too far. Chance Masters is a spoiled brat who is excellent at fencing. Chance's favorite target Heliner used to be one and bullied Chance mercilessly. | |

Eldritch Abomination | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_8774fb47 | comment |
Eldritch Abomination: The Beast. Though not portrayed as malevolent, the Hydra seen in the Vacation arc wouldn't be out of place in a Lovecraft story. It's a hydra worshiped by half-fish people. If it's not a shout out to Shadow Over Innsmouth, what is? Miranda's teacher, as well as the Archmagi of the Fourth and Third circles. The aptly named "Guardian Destroyer" from the Plane of Destruction is regarded as one. The current Big Bad of the comic. Interestingly, the majority of arch-magi that Miranda Deegan deals with appear benevolent versions of these. It is mentioned that one archmage is too small for a human to see, and another is as large is a city, and that their high-council chamber equalizes them in size for easy meeting. | |

Earlier, Serk Brakkis winds up along these lines - after having his toupee impaled, he finds every crime he's committed in the prior few years paraded past him one by one, leading to his Smug Snake mannerisms completely disintegrating. And to top it all off, he's then teleported back to Callan via lightning. And then, just before he would have been paroled, he's blown up by Celesto. | |

Go Mad from the Revelation | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_89b8822f | comment |
Go Mad from the Revelation: Seems to be the fate of anyone who truly comprehends the Beast and its realm and powers. It happened to the poor painter and former children's illustrator Micheal Cao, and it also seems to be happening to Celesto thanks to his spending far too much time imitating the Beast's appearance and powers. What's worse, even if he's even aware of this at all he likely considers it a small price to pay to bring the Beast down, even if in the end it results in him becoming its servant in truth, or no better than it. | |

Immunity Disability | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_8a9979ed | comment |
Immunity Disability: Resistance to magic is generally considered a disability, because while magic fireballs can't hurt you, white mages can't heal you when something non-magical almost kills you. It's mentioned that many who are resistant can't get employed, because of the liability and insurance concerns. Though the only sufferer seen in-comic is a fantasy-counterpart rugby player, so insurance clearly isn't all that big of a deal. Nor is regular medical treatment (it's implied that white magic is very expensive and usually unavailable to commoners in any case). That said, when he is grievously injured, he spends the entire rest of the comic's run recovering from the injuries while any other character could've been healed in seconds by white magic. | |

Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_8e20979 | comment |
Wham Episode: The folks that Dominic and Luna meet in their relaxation cruise, namely: Suin Seyera from Faria, The Dragon from Nagastrali, Buckley Hussle and the Dwarf he had a fight with from Olde Tucklebruck Island, The Trickster from Quastrilla, Milov from the Winter Archipelago and Arcangelo Scarlatti from The Semashi Kingdom. They are called together by Brian, who's RILIAN in disguise! THE MAESTRO was in on it too. It was a test, but still! And apparently one of his student's theories was right as well. The one aiding the Beast in gaining power is the king of Callan, former Archmage of the Fifth Circle (for whom said circle was invented!) and one of the most powerful magi in Callanian history. All of his battlemages are either being corrupted by the Beast into humanoid Eldritch Abominations, or already have been, thus giving it even more power. And it seems Celesto may be on the same path. | |

Justified Trope | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_90c018ac | comment |
Justified Trope if you take his 'They stayed back because I told them to' as an admission that he might hurt his own tribe if he really went all out against the Bikta Chief. Given that their fight was interrupted before Thuen Gor got serious, we'll never know. | |

Bizarre Sexual Dimorphism | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_94f4832c | comment |
Bizarre Sexual Dimorphism: Well, okay, being that they're from the Wild Edge, bizarreness is to be expected, but this is the case between Bort and Bortette. Both identified as mongrelfolk, Bort is covered in miss-matched patches of skin, with an extra eye on his chest, scales in places, and just generally looking like the poster-boy for Body Horror. Bortette, by contrast, is a Cute Monster Girl with a slightly prominent upper lip and some spikes. It's strongly implied that no two mongrelfolk are alike, or even resemble others of their kind. | |

Pardon My Klingon | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_973291cd | comment |
Pardon My Klingon: Ilka Tuk Tak, as well as "Kegak," which seems to be more of a direct insult. This strip gets funnier if you imagine the phrase means "motherfucker", although anything with fuck in it is probably broad enough for the number of places "Ilka Tuk Tak" get's used. Given a lookup in a Scots dictionary, Ilka Tuk Tak would translate to "Gather each thorn." Taken as an idiomatic phrase meant to convey an incredibly demeaning and humiliating task (or the feeling associated with it), this meaning makes sense and fits with their culture/herbivorous nature. Later comics give us "kiak", "fak", "uruk", and "thok". | |

"Not So Different" Remark: King David tries to pull this on Dominic, based on their both being The Chessmaster and doing their level best to preven the tragedies they foresee. Of course Dominic's methods are nothing like his, and while he tries to prevent the death and suffering of loved ones and friends, the king is trying to prevent the loss of magical prominence for Callan (and himself). | |

It ends up being It's the Journey That Counts which helps both of them let go of the past and Stunt (perhaps not) fully reforms. | |

Gambit Roulette | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_987be393 | comment |
Gambit Roulette: Justified. Dominic uses his Second Sight to pull off gambits that would be Roulettes for anyone else. Other characters comment on it, but they're not being Genre Savvy. Dominic likes to do The Reveal when his plans have come to fruition—or is occasionally forced to reveal his intentions when one of his plans goes awry. It's the major source of friction in his relationship with Luna (who spent most of her life abusively manipulated by her mother and sister). Some of the villains like to pull gambits of their own, leading to insane Gambit Pileups in at least two story arcs. | |

Foreshadowing: The reformed "Baron of Burglary"-turned innkeeper who's also an Elemental Changeling has just been introduced in Jayden's journey of repentance story but Word of God states that he'll definitely return as a bad guy — a good guy isn't that shifty-eyed. When Reinholdt was asked why he didn't join the newly-formed Battlecasters, one of his reasons was, "That order and the people in it were turning [him] into something [he] wasn't." Several arcs later, it's revealed that such a "turning" is now literal among the Battlecasters thanks to the Beast's magic in their armor. | |

Homage: It appears that the author got a lot of inspiration from Slayers anime, including several characters who start powering up a Sphere of Destruction illusion, not to mention the animesque character design and Fantasy Kitchen Sink setting (although the person who pointed this out noted that Naga's breasts would hardly stand out in DD). David Johann, the king of Callan and new Big Bad is basically Slayers' Priest Rezo (points by ZeeToo): Masters magic, produces wonders, widely hailed [but] can't fix [his] own eyes. Makes pact with otherworldly monsters. One of the five biggest magic-users in the setting. He's also a combination of "elected queen" Amidala, Lex Luthor (super-genius with good-ish publicity) and Vegeta (powerful hand-lasers). | |

And I Must Scream | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_a8a04f6f | comment |
And I Must Scream: The last poacher killed in the WILD EDGE is paralyzed and eaten alive by slimes. Also, if your soul gets eaten in Hell, then you will experience being eaten for the rest of eternity. Seems to be the fate of the Battlecasters currently being corrupted by the Beast. At least at first. | |

Unholy Nuke | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_a9ea8193 | comment |
Unholy Nuke: A rare example of one used by a good character. Dark Soul Burst is a spell powered by anger and hatred, and is typically used by Luna when someone REALLY pisses her off. The first time it's used, it knocks out Siegfried, a rather strong royal knight, in a single shot. Later on, an ally deliberately pisses her off to make the spell more powerful when she casts it. As part of his endgame, King David uses a combination of the imprisoned Rilian's necromancy and the Beast's power to launch gigantic "Blight-Bombs" to destroy everything outside of Callan. | |

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Jacob tries to kill Gregory by ripping the Blight of the Undead out of Gregory's body (through his unaffected parts). Turns out he just removed the Restraining Bolt that hampered his white magical abilities. The Infernomancer stabs Quilt...but that just allows him to get in close and impale him in turn, as well as Rilian...thus corrupting the Infernomancer with the Blight and freeing Rilian's necromancy from the Big Bad's control. | |

An earlier example was when a character said "shit" for the first time, though Mookie played up on it in his post, despite much more mature content done in previous comic strips.

Orcus on His Throne: Since his reveal as The Beast's partner-in-crime, the King of Callan has been fairly passive overall. It's eventually revealed that this is because he was waiting for the Beast's champion the Infernomancer to regenerate. It also highlights just how little he thinks of his enemies' efforts against him. | |

Deadpan Snarker: Everyone, from time to time; even in dramatic arcs the comic will revert periodically to its roots and put in punchlines, and when not doing that the snarking goes into the dialogue in a less jokey way. Dominic has grown less snarky through his character development, but other have appeared to share the duty. Jacob is very big on this. Karnak has developed the tendency increasingly. | |

Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_afebbd7 | comment |
And Man Grew Proud: The fate of Eldariat (the former land of Klo Tark's people). A subversion: magical power naturally cycles from race to race in the setting, and every transfer seen or described on-screen has collapsed the previous empowered civilization. Though the fact that the survivors believe that only their own hubris could have brought them down, despite every other civilization in history as a counter-argument, may qualify as self-destructive pride in itself. | |

Fate Worse than Death | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_b1346878 | comment |
The one aiding the Beast in gaining power is the king of Callan, former Archmage of the Fifth Circle (for whom said circle was invented!) and one of the most powerful magi in Callanian history. All of his battlemages are either being corrupted by the Beast into humanoid Eldritch Abominations, or already have been, thus giving it even more power. And it seems Celesto may be on the same path. | |

Tonight, Someone Dies: Done with the "Fated Fatal" Dominic goes through early in the War in Hell story arc, which he says means someone he knows will die, and there's nothing he can do about it. Word of God promised that someone would not be returning from Maltak. Several deaths were teased, but in the end, Reinholdt is required to stay in the magic mountain. As the comic enters its final year Mookie proclaimed that there would be several character deaths in the coming story arcs.

Crossing the Desert | |

Crossing the Desert: The Maltak arc consists of trekking through a vast, featureless wasteland, in the daytime, without pack animals and with no more consumables than what the party can fit in one, ordinary-sized backpack per person, and they apparently keep their tents in those as well. (Though bags of holding have been mentioned previously.) They're also not taking care to cover their heads, and one character is in a dress. They do hire an experienced guide, but this guide is the same one who would've gone through and okayed all of that, and who built a stone fire ring miles upon miles from plant life. | |

Mirror Character | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_ba5bbda5 | comment |
Mirror Character: Not only is Celesto Morgan Dominic's Evil Counterpart (and opposing Champion during the Storm of Souls arc), but Celesto's tendency to believe I Did What I Had to Do, that Utopia Justifies the Means, to act as if he has an Omniscient Morality License and is Above Good and Evil, and his Well-Intentioned Extremist thinking are all mirrored in Dominic being The Chessmaster who often gets accused of Protagonist-Centered Morality. Dominic, recognizing this, keeps trying to offer Celesto a way back to the light on numerous occasions (which he of course sneers at and rejects) while Celesto, when he isn't offering Dominic the chance to join him and make the world a better place, the way they think it "should" be, is usually calling Dominic on his manipulative actions and nastily underscoring their similarities. In a twisted way, even his stint as The Atoner could be said to be Celesto attempting to make amends by turning himself into what he thinks Dominic actually is. | |

Anti-Hero: Stunt is a rougher-edged protagonist than most of the rest of the cast. He's among the few to carry a weapon, and while the rest of the Deegans prefer to capture or otherwise subdue their opponents (at least, the ones that aren't demons or zombies or monsters or something), Stunt is more often willing to kill (see the fight with Urban Eddie, and his attempt to cut the Infernomancer's throat much earlier in the comic). Ironically, he seemed to be not trying to kill the villainous poachers in his the Walk the Wild Edge arc, at least until they started trying to kill him. He's softened up a bit further after his journey with Jayden in the second part of the Just Deserts arc. | |

No Longer with Us | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_c1771513 | comment |
This turned out to be a case of No Longer with Us: Jayden meant she would die a spiritual death, giving up/leaving behind her old life, "dying" metaphorically in order to move on from the sins she committed. Although considering Jayden's listlessness, vow of silence, and near Despair Event Horizon before this, such a misunderstanding is understandable and surely intentional on Mookie's part. And could even still become literal, depending. | |

Irony: Chance Masters is first shown as a wealthy arrogant bully who gives special attention to another boy with a ponytail. It turns out "Ponytail" used to bully Chance because Chance sucked at sports and he ("Ponytail") thought that all rich kids were jerks because that's how his "action books" always portrayed them (apparently Richie Rich doesn't exist in Callan). | |

On a more symbolic note, "Karnak" is old orcish for "The Morning Star". Which comes off as Fridge Brilliance when you consider that he uses Bulgak as an exploding ball of doom wrapped around a chain by throwing him on their enemies. | |

Shout-Out | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: A few visual references to Guilty Gear, among others. IThat's a Shout-Out to System of a Down. "I'm not trapped [in Hell] with you, you're trapped in here WITH ME!" The author claims it was accidental. Coincidentally, the same quote happens to be his friend Tim Buckley's forum signature on his own website. Dominic's Father's grasp of orcish bears a striking resemblance to Monty Python's Hungarian Phrasebook sketch. "I cannot wait til lunchtime" is a direct quote. This strip, with "Ghost in the Spell" as an obvious shout-out to Ghost in the Shell. | |

Necromancer: death and decay magic is commonly used by the villains, including Dominic's brother Jacob. Subverted by the fact that - according to 'Brian' ( actually Rilian in disguise) - Necromancers were originally a combination of undertaker, grief counselor, and Psychopomp, seeing the dead to their rest and caring for their bereaved, but have had their profession besmirched by those who misuse those powers. | |

Semantic Superpower | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_c85adb75 | comment |
Semantic Superpower: Demon Lords, and to an extent lesser demons, seem to work this way. Toxcel, Lord of Poison, can also poison thoughts and relationships. The Lord of Treachery is just too slippery and treacherous to stay dead as long as their death is part of a Thanatos Gambit. And Chaos Demons are immune to White Magic, because that vulnerability is a rule. That being said, it at least matches standard metaphors. People talk about toxic relationships, cheating death, and the laws of physics all the time. It also leads to a notable Logical Weakness: the Lord of Treachery is killed using herself as a weapon - dying by 'betraying' herself. | |

Freudian Excuse: Often precedes a Heel–Face Turn, most notably with Snowsong and the Oracle Hunter. Karnak's was so over-the-top it made him tempting to sympathize with, since he hasn't even left Hell in so long he hasn't been causing problems for any good guys. | |

Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_cda501da | comment |
Killed Off for Real: Klo Tark's second death seems to have stuck. Narrowly averted with Luna. At the end of the March Across Maltak arc Mookie said that he really considered letting Luna die in order to get a more dramatic ending. He decided against it after considering how it would absolutely destroy Dominic and kill the future plot lines he planned out. In the start of the comic's last year, Mookie declares that not everyone will make it to the end...and then kills Bumper. Followed now by all the archmages, the denizens of Aberthast Cathedral, the Masters family, the Maestro...and Rilian. And Quilt and Celesto. | |

Courtesy of Dominic's final vision, it actually turns out to be the opposite of this for Maltak, as their Chandaks come back and they become a great power of magic, while Callan seems to be headed toward either a Steampunk future. | |

Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_d2afe41d | comment |
This seems to be the preferred composition of any given adventuring party in the setting, which owes a lot to fantasy RPG conventions, though not in the story. Greg, Luna, and Dominic fell into it early on, and if Szark had been a little more sane in his intro and the plot a little more conventional, he probably would have wound up a party with Dominic and Luna and given us the variant where the girl and one of the guys both like the other guy. Instead he's just the Pet Homosexual. | |

Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_d91d0365 | comment |
The Magic Goes Away: The Maltak arc ends with the Orcs' magic being taken away by Maltak to aid its rebirth. It doesn't seem to be completely gone, though, more that they'll have to rediscover it. And the next arc begins with Callanian Magic mysteriously malfunctioning as a result. The Big Bad's entire motivation is to prevent this from happening to Callan. Courtesy of Dominic's final vision, it actually turns out to be the opposite of this for Maltak, as their Chandaks come back and they become a great power of magic, while Callan seems to be headed toward either a Steampunk future. | |

Hijacked by Ganon | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_da76b18 | comment |
Hijacked by Ganon: While the timeline is not exactly clear yet on when exactly he rose to power, if David Johann was king during the Callan/Orc war and thus condoned the atrocities which Warlord Damaske perpetrated, then this would make him indirectly responsible for a good portion of the bad events in the Deegan-verse that have affected the main characters directly—Thuen Gor's curse (and its effect on Luna), Karnak's fall, Siegfried's corruption and everything that came of it, what happened to Maltak... For certain, now that he has the Infernomancer working for him (by proxy) this makes him a threat to everyone, even Karnak. Whether this will result in an Enemy Mine later (albeit one certain to break due to Karnak's lack of trustworthiness and Celesto's descent into madness / possible corruption by the Beast), it seems as if Johann is shaping up to be the ultimate Big Bad of the comic. He was. And in fact the Beast was only the king's eyes given life and sentience by their view of the Heart of Magic, plus the power of the Elemecca, so it was the actual Dragon-in-Chief. | |

A Million Is a Statistic: At the end of the Maltak Arc, much is made of Luna's personal sacrifices, but no mention is made of the heavy casualties of the Big Bikta Battle. It's implied that the newly dead came back rather than than return to the earth. That may have just been Jacob and those he was holding, but he didn't seem to be in control of it, he was simply assuring those two followed him. | |

Decoy Protagonist: The Wild Edge arc was supposed to be about Bort (the author even wrote about how nice it would be to focus on him), but after he got "rejected" he left to pout and the arc's real hero turned out to be Stunt. The following arc started off with Celesto meditating on how the world's magic was going out of whack, but it quickly turned into KARNAK! and Siggy's battle in Hell. The author twittered that this kind of thing happens because he "doesn't want to know what comes next" in his own story. | |

Veganopia: Major piece in developing the orcs. It's not that they're not a violent, primitive society, but they're herbivores, and it adds a certain buccolic innocence to Maltak. Also note Karnak's bizzarre behavioral tic of taking unnecessary mouthfuls out of his enemies and then spitting them out. He was raised an orc. They had to boil the food for ages to get it soft enough for his human teeth. No word on what, if anything, he's actually eaten all these years in hell. | |

The identity of the Beast's power source/magical ally in the mortal plane: the king of Callan. Extended when it is revealed that, "political implications aside", he was not only the first human ever allowed to join the Circle of the Archmagi, a circle was actually invented for him to hold. He is one of the most powerful magi in Callanian history, and he's trying to kill them all. | |

Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_e1ff8ff6 | comment |
Fantasy Kitchen Sink: Previously the comic featured knights, wizards, dryads, werewolves, undead, slimes, orks, dragons etc., but ever since the Dominic's and Luna's 'round-the-world trip story arc, this trope has gone into overdrive, with the author showing a ton of new races, i.e. merfolk, sea monsters, hobgoblins, halflings, dwarves, mongrelfolk and whatnot in rapid appearance. | |

Art Evolution | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_e43c66bd | comment |
Art Evolution: After the first couple of years of improvements, the art quality has stayed about the same since. The only notable stylistic change recently is the addition of defined snouts for the Orcs. Mookie has said in an interview that while he can draw better, he feels the current art style fits the comic, and changing it wouldn't feel right. | |

Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_e52a0409 | comment |
Calling the Old Man Out: Here,◊ in this case, Miranda Deegan calls both of her parents out for their behavior (and their attacks) on Donovan for him being her choice of a future husband. A very brutal variant with Siegfried. After his rebellion against Karnak doesn't pan out exactly like he expected, Karnak is able to convince him what a horrible bastard his father truly was. Siegfried expresses his extreme displeasure by going out and rabidly devouring the head of his father's soul. | |

Light Is Not Good | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_e543a655 | comment |
Light Is Not Good: While the Akta isn't bad, being a force for life and healing, its most powerful practitioner, the Bikta spirit father, is a fanatical asshole. While White Magic in general is fueled by positive emotions and does positive things for people like healing or strengthening their bodies, it is not by strict definition 'good' but rather based on the aspect of creation, the exception being Holy Magic as a direct opposition to Infernomancy. Jacob discovers that the Blight isn't a form of necromancy, but rather out-of-control White Magic perverted by necromancers. | |

Unexplained Recovery | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_e5d8460d | comment |
Unexplained Recovery: The only apparent explanation for Dex's sudden recovery is sheer force of will. It's not a complete recovery, and in fact, even by the time the comic ends, he's still not fully healed. Happens to Reinholdt during the climax of the Maltak arc, though not without a price. Similarly, when Luna is stabbed with the Hukthak, her injury disappears as soon as it's pulled out, but it too comes with a price: She can never have children. Though that, at least, is implied to be because of how the Hukthak combines healing and destruction magic. | |

Flanderization: Szark Sturtz was originally a master swordsman and a sadist.

Powered by a Forsaken Child | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_e794cb54 | comment |
Powered by a Forsaken Child: A rare case of this being presented in a positive manner. At the conclusion of the Maltak arc, the souls of the Orc dead are absorbed back into Maltak to help it recover. Essentially, the souls of the Orcs have been turned into spiritual mulch. Rather, it's explained that this was a natural cycle that the poison in Maltak was halting, which is why the place was barren in the first place. Whereas the Bikta orc clan's leader used Grench and their connection to the elements to keep his sanctuary alive. An Acibek is a golem created by merging multiple souls into a single collective entity using Order magic. The original Acibek was created by the elf tyrant Raf Maliksh using the souls of his own followers. It's no wonder Acibek immediately turned on Raf in disgust. Two other characters, Dirk the Mighty and Leaflette the former Sylvan Oracle, are also Acibeks. Dirk was created by Leaflette to be a guardian for the Dryad using the souls of a tree ogre, slumber flower, and a halfling. Leaflette was created by the original Acibek using an unknown combination of souls. This is also an unusually positive case: Acibek assures the loved ones of Raf's sacrifices that the souls inside him are at peace within his collective being. The Evil Counterpart of the Acibek, the Storm of Souls, is as nasty as it sounds. It's an Eldritch Abomination composed of the souls of the Chaos worshipping Chosen that can devour other souls as well. Unlike an Acibek, the souls within the Storm are not at peace. | |

Webcomic Time: Frequently and often lampshaded, sometimes straight and sometimes through continuity nods.

Lord Siegfried Gunther Aern Damaske von Callan (or Siggy) dies killing the Royal Seer and immediately becomes the lieutenant of Karnak, who had moments before killed every high level demon in Hell, so high-quality damned souls were in high demand. | |

Did You Just Scam Cthulhu? | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_ef0a5ce | comment |
Did You Just Scam Cthulhu?: When The Beast comes to attack Dominic, it makes Dominic weak because he 'willed' it. Likewise, Dominic uses an illusion to pretend he's willed himself to have the powers of a Destroyer to make The Beast retreat in fear he'd destroy himself to try and take it down with him. Justified in that The Beast is an extradimensional being from a realm of pure insanity; the idea that something it perceived was not real would be completely alien to it, making it vulnerable to Dominic's illusion spells. | |

Mundane Utility | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_eff83d77 | comment |
Mundane Utility: Crystal balls are videophones. Frequently even when there's no one with scrying talent established on either end of the line. Scarlatti used Tomen's Teleport Service to get to Barthis so quickly for the duel. And the people with flying spells use them all the freaking time, as well as Dominic's ability to 'bookmark' to any of a few set places instantly, as often as he wants. Also, alterism. It's basically plastic surgery, only magic and therefore with far more options. Like, presumably, ftm sex-change operations that really work, as it were. Magic is essentially mundane in this world, apart from not being available to everyone—even things like monitoring Hell are only deviations in scale from the routine. Some ritual stuff and horror and of course the major world-saving quests are the main exceptions. | |

Redemption Equals Death: Not only does he show up in a Big Damn Heroes moment in the Elemecca, but when the Beast has created a corrupted doppelganger of Dominic and is also still corrupting Dominic himself, instead of blasting both of them to be sure he got rid of every last bit of his enemy, Celesto spares Dominic, only destroying the Beast. This may have been a mistake, since the Beast still wasn't dead and ends up pulling him down into the Elemecca with it...leading Celesto to set off a chaos explosion to kill them both. | |

Suddenly Speaking: Variation with Bort the mongrelman: he could talk when introduced, but only in brief bits of Hulk Speak. During the final arc of the comic when he shows up to help, thanks to a combination of Celesto's magic and that of the Elemecca he can talk normally—and he's as surprised as Dominic is. Even funnier, he speaks in near-Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness. | |

Traveling at the Speed of Plot | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_f314f8c4 | comment |
Traveling at the Speed of Plot: In a bizarre on-panel example, a character walks out of an empty, flat wasteland and into an enemy camp. A similar scene takes several minutes on Lawrence of Arabia, and the traveler is on camelback. Here the traveler is past the camp's guards in the time the guards take to spot her, recognize her, and recover from the surprise that she's alive. | |

Easily Forgiven: Dominic and Co. forgive Szark, Snowsong, and Barnet rather quickly after their respective Heel Face Turns. Of course, each has its own mitigating circumstances. | |

Howl of Sorrow | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_f44ea9dc | comment |
Howl of Sorrow: One use of werewolf howls is to announce the break-up of a pack. Given what breaks up a pack...this is generally a combination of rage and painfully deep sorrow. And it doesn't just announce that the pack has broken up, it announces exactly why it's broken up. | |

Law of Inverse Fertility / Babies Ever After: Not sure how to classify this: Luna was rendered infertile, but a few of her eggs survived. Since Dom's infertile as well she decides to donate them and the eggs will, to quote the alterist, "actually take on the genetics of the recipient." | |

Our Werewolves Are Different | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_f8b3fa5d | comment |
Our Werewolves Are Different: Are their own culture, and come in two flavors: Werewolves, and Spellwolves. Both can shift at will, and retain pretty much all their mental faculties. Spellwolves are a special, rarer type of Werewolf that can use considerable magical power. The moon is significant in the culture, and Spellwolves can use the full moon to scry like seers. | |

Running Gag | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Quite a few. Sparks' "Death from Above", "Fear My....Illusion", and the habit of everyone making bad puns. Also Mookie himself pointed out in a comic "And so with Chris's death today I continue the tradition of killing people who win a named appearance in the comic via ConnectiCon's Webcomic Charity Auction." Lower Back Problems CURSE YOU, RUNCIBLE SPOON! | |

Fun with Foreign Languages: Donovan Deegan speaks comically bad orcish. Also a direct Homage to the Monty Python's Flying Circus "Naughty Hungarian Phrasebook" sketch. It's eventually revealed he's doing it on purpose, as foreshadowed here. | |

Merger of Souls | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_fb0382ea | comment |
Merger of Souls: Acibek was a golem created by an ancient Elven tyrant who powered him with several souls combined together, many of them collected unwillingly, and not happy about it. The Sylvan Oracle and her own creation "Dirk the Mighty" were similar golems. And there's also the Storm of Souls, a raging maelstrom of souls formed from deceased members of the chaos-worshipping cult The Chosen and intended to be their weapon to destroy the world with. Acibek sacrificed himself to trap it in a cage forged from his own souls and centuries later the Sylvan Oracle sacrificed herself to destroy it. | |

Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_fc33ff16 | comment |
One-Winged Angel: The diminutive Dirk the Mighty can transform into a powerful ogre. Infernomancers like Caylen Bren and Bulgak become more obviously demonic the more they tap into their demon lords' power. After becoming the servant of an Eldritch Abomination, TIM shifts between a mostly human form and a mass of tentacled horror at will. | |

Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_fd4f8299 | comment |
Well-Intentioned Extremist: Celesto Morgan, who first wanted to cleanse the world with Chaos after deciding the people in it were all assholes, and who now says he's trying to save the world from The Infernomancer while incidentally destroying Lynn's Brook, which he calls "a small price to pay." He also thinks brutally murdering a teenager (who he claims will grow up to be a bad person anyway) using methods that will implicate the King and the Beast is justified since it's for the "greater good". | |

Brick Joke | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: Donovan finding out what his orcish name really means and using it hundreds of strips later as a Stealth Pun against Dominic "So he says it hurts whenever he touches. Turns out his finger's broken!" "Hey I think I know that guy!" Similarly, her lower-back still hurts. "And I will strike down my enemiiieeeeees-- --WITH THE SWORD OF CENTURIES!!!" Donovan, having been established as an ostensible goofball dad with zany plots, legendarily bad Orcish, and an overall tendency to be the distraction but otherwise have little impact or relevance to the plot, proves not only his competence, badassery, and the reasons Miranda loves him, but reveals after seven years (real world time) that he's always been able to speak perfect Orcish. This strings a lot of unrelated side-jokes into a single, Batman Gambit -style epic practical joke spanning decades against an entire foreign nation, and afterward he becomes much more of a force on the plot. The reason for the reveal? He realized that revealing the joke had reached the point of being funnier than continuing the subterfuge. At the start of the Beneath Our Masks arc, Gregory remarks that he's bringing his cheapest guitar with him so he won't feel too bad about bashing Celesto over the head with it if they find him. Gregory finds him. The Class Action arc has one so subtle that most probably never saw it: Early in the arc, Neilen threatens to "bite [Runcible's] freaking head off." Then later, Cassafinn tries to make Runcible feel better by giving him an effigy of Neilen to abuse. Guess what he does to it? | |

Mighty Whitey: Nimmel is basically called one by Milov, as Milov explains just why he personally accepted him to the Coldfire Academy. It remains to be seen if we are supposed to be taking him seriously or not. Arguably Luna during the Maltak arc(s), when she was divinely appointed to be unifier of the tribes by the elemental gods of Maltak. | |

Death Seeker | |
Dominic Deegan (Webcomic) / int_fff371b4 | comment |
Death Seeker / Miles to Go Before I Sleep: Jayden has ended her vow of silence - penance for betraying Milov and basically getting the Callanians kicked out of werewolf territory - and now she's going on a pilgrimage into the desert where she will die. This turned out to be a case of No Longer with Us: Jayden meant she would die a spiritual death, giving up/leaving behind her old life, "dying" metaphorically in order to move on from the sins she committed. Although considering Jayden's listlessness, vow of silence, and near Despair Event Horizon before this, such a misunderstanding is understandable and surely intentional on Mookie's part. And could even still become literal, depending. | |
