Errant Story (Webcomic) | comment |
Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })A High Fantasy Webcomic that ran from 2002 to 2012, and the second webcomic of Michael Poe (Exploitation Now being his first, Does Not Play Well With Others his third). Poe has started re-running the comic at 3-5 pages a week, with author commentary on each page, although it is currently on hiatus. There are two sequel series planned.With a light touch of Post-Modernism, the comic has a sizable amount of self-referential humor and quite a few lampshaded, subverted, invoked, and roundly mocked tropes. It starts out following the adventures of a half-elven mage seeking ultimate arcane power, though as other main characters join up it quickly becomes evident that there is much more going on behind the scenes. The comic underwent slow onset Cerebus Syndrome, but still retained many of its humorous elements well into the series.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Character-specific tropes can be found on the character sheet. The comic also has a wiki. | |

Aww, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Jon and Sarine finally get one of these moments (heavily lampshaded by the peanut gallery) after a year of UST in-story and several in the real world. And no, the sex scene isn't it. | |

Errant Story (Webcomic) / int_118948dd | comment |
Red Herring Shirt: An inept and cowardly guard from the Veracian Church, named Sandel, turns out to actually be an undercover spy for the Ensigerum Time-Ninja-Monks! Still only a Mauve Shirt, but that's a hell of a lot better than being an NPC Guard. Also, the Viradior who attacks Sarine after her arrival in the elven territories and gets knocked on her ass turns out to be Misa, a moderately important side character, performing an Attack Hello. | |

What Did You Expect When You Named It ____? | |
Errant Story (Webcomic) / int_1646dd01 | comment |
What Did You Expect When You Named It ____?: "Tsuiraku" is the Japanese word for things (planes, mostly) falling out of the sky and making a mess on the ground. We haven't had a Colony Drop yet, though. The name is clearly intentional. Presumably, it was named by a distant ancestor of Meiji who either had an odd sense of humor and/or was disappointed when it FAILED to behave as advertised. | |

Anti-Magic | |
Errant Story (Webcomic) / int_18bf4326 | comment |
Anti-Magic: The Inanire 312, a type of grenade developed by the elves at the tail end of the Errant War that is capable of disrupting magic in a small area for a short period of time. Because of its indiscriminate nature and the fact that it was introduced so late in the war, when very few people remained for it to be used on, they were rarely used. After the war's end they were tucked away in a vault in Praenubilus Astu and forgotten about by most of the population until Ian attacked the city, at which point they were used to drive him off. And the Dispel spell, used by Ian to kill/dissipate Luminosita and Meji to free Sara from a binding spell. Of course, Ian gets Hoist by His Own Petard in an anti-magic sense, when Meji finally makes it to Praenubilus Astu with the airship fleet. | |

Chekhov's Gun: The Inanire 312 grenades. Sarine finds that someone has already beaten her to cleaning out most of the stash of them in the elven vaults. That someone turns out to have been Commander Nisotta, who uses them later against Ian when he attacks the city. See also Came Back Wrong. Zombie army, anyone? A literal example at the very end: Meji finds one of Jon's guns. She ends the fight with Ian by turning off the magic and blowing his brains out with it. | |

Distant Finale: Sarine is the only one of the main cast left at the end, to the best of our knowledge. Meji may still be around, but while we don't know about Sara, Jon is most definitely dead. | |

Rule of Cool | |
Errant Story (Webcomic) / int_36e63b81 | comment |
Rule of Cool: The Dolon style (essentially a double bladed spear) of Durus Flamma blades. They were made for show, but the Ensigerum have put them to work as actual weapons with some success, though that owes more to the skill of the wielder than the usefulness of the weapon. | |

Schizo Tech | |
Errant Story (Webcomic) / int_3c5ae1a1 | comment |
Schizo Tech: Revolvers and semi-automatic rifles in a setting that is otherwise lagging behind that level in (mundane) technology. Of course the prevalence of magic based tech makes it very difficult to peg a time period. As does the prior existence of non-magical superintelligent dwarves, who probably had blasters and left behind a mecha. Tsuiraku is modern Japan via magic, the elves are probably that more so minus the silly culture, dwarves were supertech, non-Tsuiraku humans had to claw their way back up and are transitioning possibly with the help of dwarven ruins. | |

Elegant Weapon for a More Civilized Age | |
Errant Story (Webcomic) / int_4f672bfe | comment |
Elegant Weapon for a More Civilized Age: Durus Flamma blades, elven swords used primarily for duels. However, even two thousand years before Errant Story takes place that rule was waning, as in the Errant War they were used in open combat, particularly by the Ensigerum. More recently some renegade (or simply conspiratorial) elves have used them in a similarly dishonorable fashion. Sarine herself prefers to abide by the old traditions governing their use, though if confronted by someone wielding one she does not hesitate to use her own. | |

Innocent Fanservice Girl: Subverted. Elves don't have a cultural nudity taboo, but elf women are most certainly not this, no matter what certain human play writers would have you think. Elves go fully clothed most of the time just like the humans do, they just aren't embarrassed to be seen naked in situations where it makes sense to them to be naked, e.g. while bathing... and even then, they can get self-conscious if some smartass seems to enjoy the sight of them a little too much. | |

Fantastic Racism: The elves hunt half-elves ("errants") because they tend toward insanity and magic excellence, not a good combination.

He's also a bit of a Deadpan Snarker. | |

Armor Is Useless: Primarily due to the fact that the current weapons (magic, guns, and Durus Flamma weapons) are well ahead of the armor technology. Mentioned by Sarine when thinking if she should repair her current suit of armor. Though note she's talking about her human armor. Elven armor is dismissed as too conspicuous, not useless. Elven reactive armor even dealt with unknown threats like time ninjas. | |

Errant Story (Webcomic) / int_6e429667 | comment |
Fantastic Slurs: The term "errant" used to only refer to half-elves who had gone insane, but the elves eventually came to view the terms "half-elf" and "errant" as interchangeable. | |

Bullying a Dragon | |
Errant Story (Webcomic) / int_7eb73553 | comment |
Bullying a Dragon: Minor example, but several of the adults in Meji's life still talk down to her like a wayward child even after she gains the powers of the creator-god Senilis. Major example: Meji saves the elves from utter annihilation, and afterwards one of the elves arrogantly demands that she give up her powers, "generously" offering her amnesty if she does so, and promising to hunt her forever if she doesn't. One forum post compared Meji's saving of the elves from Ian to a bunch of Jewish commandos parachuting into Berlin in 1945 to save German civilians from the depredations of the Red Army, so the elf's reaction is as ungrateful as it is suicidal. The page is even called "Poking Bears With Sticks". | |

Every Man Has His Price: A favorite tactic of Sarine when she needs to quickly get people to cooperate is to bribe them with an artifact or a piece of Lost Technology she has on account of her position as an elven ranger. She even comments that at the rate she's going she'll run out of stuff to buy people off with. | |

24-Hour Armor: Mostly averted, humans generally don't even wear armor at all let alone full plate (the only people who seem to are elves) and even those who wear more reasonable armor don't wear it when they don't need to. The regular elven military does use full plate, and the problems with it are mentioned here. And early Sarine is in century-old human armor most of the time, though she eventually gives it up as useless. | |

Immunity Disability: Many half-elves are immune to some forms of magic (such as transmutation). Unfortunately, this includes healing magic. Some of those that can be healed spontaneously reject the healing later. | |

Wham Episode: Anilis and Senilis (and presumably Exitialis) are some sort of dying "collectives", and the dwarves, trolls, elves, and the little fairy-demigods are all their failed attempts at causing some sort of apotheosis which would somehow have stopped their decline. Humans haven't been explained yet. The entire setting's been redefined: it's sci-fi. | |

Errant Story (Webcomic) / int_8ed5c6e4 | comment |
Asshole Victim: Good lord, the elves. A lot of backstory is given about how they have pretty much attempted to exterminate or enslave every other sapient species they've come across. This is largely to show that their near-destruction wrought by a power-crazed, revenge-driven half-elf was brought on themselves, but given this information it's easy to sympathize with the Big Bad's motivations. See the Headscratchers tab for a lengthy discussion on this. | |

Half-Human Hybrid: The half-elves and their place in the world (or lack thereof) are the driving force of the story.

Inverted with the prologue. It opens with Sarine angsting over her human husband's mortality and the future prospects for their unborn child while the Errant War is picking up steam around them. Her husband tries to comfort her with limited success. Then it cuts to 2000 years later where Sarine kills a mentally unstable half-elf who had recently raped, murdered, and mutilated three girls. Right after the prologue it becomes lighthearted and comedic to the point of Mood Whiplash. | |

The elf in Farrel who has been living there for the last two thousand years, while arguably sane, is dismissed by the elven council as a madman, citing his long isolation as the reason. | |

Mayfly–December Romance | |
Errant Story (Webcomic) / int_b1efb7a7 | comment |
Mayfly–December Romance: Deconstructed, if you can believe it. Any elf-human romantic relationship is necessarily of this nature, but for precisely this reason it becomes ''fashionable'' among the elves to engage in such relationships, due to an aesthetic roughly equivalent to mono no aware. This has major, major unforeseen consequences. | |

Our Elves Are Better: Played mostly straight. Except it turns out that the Ensigerum, the guys the elves trained as guards before they walled themselves off from the rest of the world, are actually a match for the elves in combat, even after all these years. And morally speaking the elves are pretty far down the ladder, having had their collective Moral Event Horizon (their attempt to exterminate the trolls for being "the gods' failure") thousands of years before the start of the comic. | |

Muscles Are Meaningless: Played with. The characters who are by far the strongest, the warrior-monks of the Ensigerum, are not particularly large people. Paul, who so far seems to be the largest of the Ensigerum, doesn't appear to be any bulkier than his fellow monks, with his size mainly coming simply from height. However, they do have ridiculous definition, making them more like an army of Bruce Lee's than anything else. Hmm. The Ensigerum use magic like physical adepts, to fuel things like running up walls.

Errant Story (Webcomic) / int_cfdb9e17 | comment |
Cerebus Syndrome: It starts off very lighthearted and grows progressively darker, with a genocidal maniac on the loose, another one in the making, and war brewing between the major powers. Inverted with the prologue. It opens with Sarine angsting over her human husband's mortality and the future prospects for their unborn child while the Errant War is picking up steam around them. Her husband tries to comfort her with limited success. Then it cuts to 2000 years later where Sarine kills a mentally unstable half-elf who had recently raped, murdered, and mutilated three girls. Right after the prologue it becomes lighthearted and comedic to the point of Mood Whiplash. | |

Jon started giving Sarine one of these when she revealed that earlier she had an emotional breakdown, slept with him, and then deleted his memory of the whole thing. Being Jon and Sarine, it quickly degenerated into bickering and insults. | |

Errant Story (Webcomic) / int_e34ada78 | comment |
Authority Equals Asskicking: Inverted with most of the Ensigerum. The older trainees and newly raised monks are generally more skilled than their seniors, since they have more recent experience practicing against opponents using the same kind of enhancements as they're using. Played straight with the leader, Anita, who is definitely the biggest badass in the order. | |

Laser-Guided Amnesia: Sarine utilized this to delete the part of Jon's memory that contained the two of them having sex. Jon, however, was well aware that his memories have been manipulated even though he could not recall exactly what was deleted and became increasingly suspicious of Sarine as a result. | |

Never Found the Body: When Ian was last seen fighting a magical duel that ended with the building they were in collapsing on top of him, Sarine mentions that only the other participant's body had been found when she left, but there was still plenty of rubble to search through. They both expect they'll see him again, though. | |

All Trolls Are Different | |
Errant Story (Webcomic) / int_fd752bc3 | comment |
All Trolls Are Different: The trolls were one of the original species (possibly the second after the dwarves) to inhabit the world, though their civilization was destroyed and their numbers devastated once the various elven races got together and launched a long, though ultimately unsuccessful campaign to exterminate them. They were likely created by Anilis and Senilis, the elven creator gods and were tutored by the same demigods that taught the elves, though the elves believe that the trolls were failures and sought to wipe them from existence. From what has been seen of the trolls they are large, strong, matriarchal (as apparently only the women are able to use magic), and cannibalistic, though they see this as a sort of immortality as the consumed are believed to live on as a part of the tribe. They seem to mirror the Kroot of Warhammer 40k in this regard, though without the freaky genetics that make it actually true, and having your remains eaten after you die seems to be something of a compliment (they do it to humans only if suitably impressed). In fact, one of the punishments in their culture is "no one save the dirt and the worms shall eat of your meat." Likewise, they consider it very offensive to cremate someone's remains and burning a troll's corpse will royally piss off their tribe. Interestingly, despite the aforementioned cannibalism they also seem to be the Only Sane Race. | |

Errant Story (Webcomic) / int_fe5e40e2 | comment |
Gondor Calls for Aid: At the very end, when the elves figure out that they are utterly screwed in their battle with Ian and ask Tsuiraku for help. Of course, what really matters isn't that they get the Tsuirakuan battlemages, but rather, that they get the Five-Man Band (Meji, Ellis, Jon, Sarine and Sara), whom they did not actually ask for. (There is the little point that the elven behavior until this point hasn't exactly been heroic.) | |

Sufficiently Advanced Aliens: Senilis, Anilis, and Exitialis have now been identified as alien collectives that attained corporeality. Exitialis, the Death God, is so identified because said collective disappeared, perhaps dead. The creation of the elves (and perhaps, humans) was intended to form a new collective to stabilize the other two. Who happen to be disintegrating. Mind Screw and Wham Episode combined into one. Well played, Poe. Well. Played. | |
