Imagine having your gender changed, pretty inconvenient right? Now imagine having your species changed at the same time, becoming a small, vulnerable bird-rat type thing.This is Kassen's life. Not only does he have to cope with a new diet, cravings and urges, as a rare female he's suddenly become a very hot commodity for an entire species best described as a bunch of happy-go-lucky idiots.Out-of-Placers takes place in a world inhabited by several sentient species: humans, Indrel (insect people), Yinglets (the bird rat things), Baxxid and... Isher.Can be found here. Or, Read from the beginning hereWarning: spoilers ahead.

Starfish Language: Indrel communicate by use of pheromones and body language. Baxxid language, meanwhile, is primarily infrasonic.

After multiple pages of Kalgkur being his usual adorkable self and finally getting to talk to his secret crush (who looks like she might actually reciprocate), he accidentally kills someone in the most graphic way seen so far in the comic, traumatizing everyone around including himself.

Weird World, Weird Food
 Out-of-Placers (Webcomic) / int_20e1cb81
comment
Weird World, Weird Food: The Yinglet diet consists mostly of gross, disgusting, slimy, and/or toxic things scavenged from along the shoreline. Kass is appalled (though we later learn that her real displeasure isn't discovering the disgusting things yinglets eat so much as discovering she now craves the disgusting things yinglets eat). The human diet isn't all that familiar either. With humans apparently being the only familiar species from Earth on the whole planet, a lot of weird things end up on dinner plates...

How Do I Shot Web?
 Out-of-Placers (Webcomic) / int_21fd09a7
comment
How Do I Shot Web?: Kass has trouble speaking and eating in her new form. Even relatively simple things like keeping her balance and a different sleep cycle throw her for a loop. Learning the "facts of life" Yinglet-style from Matriarch Vizlet literally leaves her bug-eyed, and her reaction to being forced to recount them for Ran's research is documented in the page image above.

Non-Mammal Mammaries
 Out-of-Placers (Webcomic) / int_23d6eccb
comment
Non-Mammal Mammaries: Isher is rather stacked for someone who is largely saurian otherwise. Female Yinglets are more proportionate and actually used to be (egg-laying) mammals, but used their self-directed evolution process to breed out the need for breastfeeding their offspring so females could focus more on running enclaves and producing more eggs.

Inadequate Inheritor: Vizlet is in the middle of such a situation: while Lippie has a lot of potential, being favored by Vizlet to be the next Matriarch, she's also a complete Nervous Wreck most of the time, and the other females, while relatively more mentally stable, don't seem to be as capable as Lippie.

I Know You Know I Know: Matriarch Vizlet is perfectly aware that Kass is as much a spy as an envoy, but tells Kass it's a price she's willing to pay. Isher is horrified to realize that Ran recognizes her species (or her origin, it's not entirely clear from the context), but they both agree that some secrets are best kept secret.

comment
Gender Bender: Kassen becomes Kassie. Different for Girls: Played with: The species change is far more significant than the sex change because yinglet gender relations are so different from human norms that there's little basis for comparison. First Law of Gender Bending: Kass is apparently stuck, since the humans have no idea how her transformation was accomplished, and any Yinglet who isn't equally ignorant is not talking. Second Law of Gender-Bending: An ironic subversion. Kass says she accepts "this is me now isn't it?" but it's obvious to Matriarch Vizlet that Kass is still in denial and hasn't even begun to deal with what's happened to her. Third Law of Gender-Bending: Kassen literally gets hit over the head with this one as the females at the Yinglet enclave hurriedly prepare "Lady Kass" for her presentation to the patriarchs.

Gentle Giant: The Baxxid are basically giant, serpentine creatures made of armor and knives; they also avoid conflict at all costs and are incredibly adept interpreters and mathematicians. Isher is an eight-foot-tall Half-Human Hybrid with huge talons, fangs, and powerful-looking raptor legs. She also bemoans her position as a guard/bouncer and would much rather tend to plants. Patriarch Poak is a yinglet version. He comes up to a human's chest as opposed to their crotch, and while he occasionally punishes unruly yinglets by sitting on them, he's a friendly, jovial member of the enclave.

Clash of Evolutionary Levels: The yinglets are descended from smaller ancestors ('lesser yinglets', as Ran calls them) that still exist. However, the number of lesser yinglets is steadily diminishing, since either kind of yinglet will try to kill the other on sight, with the newer ones usually coming out on top.

Blessed with Suck: As a female Yinglet, Kassen is inherently given the rank and privilege that all females of her new kind are born into, as well as automatic deference and admiration from all of the lesser males... but she's still now seen as little more than a slightly more intelligent vermin by everyone else. Isher is huge, extremely strong, and dangerous-looking, making her naturally great at her job (standing around looking intimidating). Unfortunately this runs completely counter to her actual personality...

Schizo Tech: While the overall technological level of the setting ranges from Bronze Age to Early Renaissance, there are a few examples of scavenged Lost Technology in the form of artifacts, closely guarded knowledge, and semi-religious relics. Val Salia in particular is noted as having some of the best doctors around due to their abnormally advanced research into germ theory and asepsis, as well as their refinement of anesthetic drugs.

comment
Raised by Humans: Kass pretends to be an orphaned Yinglet raised by humans to explain away a complete lack of knowledge regarding Yinglet culture (and significant parts of their basic biology). Matriarch Vizlet was apprenticed under multiple human tradesmen before becoming matriarch, hence her "strange ideas". Her background also allows her to see through Kass's cover story and help maintain it around the less educated Yinglets. Mori'rai in the Valsalia-aided fanfic of Umbrascythe "Learn To Live", is a yinglet who is this.

Surrounded by Idiots: Matriarch Vizlet tends to feel like this in her enclave, given how she's basically the only (natural) yinglet with the benefit of a human education. A couple of the patriarchs seem fairly intelligent, but one of them was sent by the "traditionalist" enclaves to keep an eye on her.

Humans Through Alien Eyes
 Out-of-Placers (Webcomic) / int_44a893af
comment
Humans Through Alien Eyes: To most Yinglets (small, short-lived, and very fragile), humans (tall, strong, seemingly immortal) are absolutely awe-inspiring. Human children are terrifying monsters (since they often don't realize how easy it is to maim or kill the Yinglet they're "playing" with), and an extremely angry human soldier might as well be Godzilla to them. Humans are Elves to Yinglets. They have long lives and they are the species that created the culture and civilization of the world. They are more cultured than Yinglets. Valsalia says this was intentional.

Bizarre Alien Senses
 Out-of-Placers (Webcomic) / int_4ee5989a
comment
Bizarre Alien Senses: Yannit appears to see by thermal imaging. Indrel, due to their pheromone-based communication, have automatic emotional reactions to certain scents. In an attempt to help Yannit acclimate to living among humans, Ran explores her reaction of a variety of scents and substances. The results range from 'nothing' to 'hooray' to 'PANIC'. Apparently, the vision of the hind pairs of Baxxid eyes isn't obstructed by cloth. Some Baxxid will wear headdresses when interacting with humans to cut down on any confusion over which eyes the human should be looking at.

Go Mad from the Isolation
 Out-of-Placers (Webcomic) / int_4f3c14ca
comment
Go Mad from the Isolation: Yannit struggles with this possibility. As an indrel drone, she is used to living among people who share her means of pheromone-based communication, which functions as a sort of limited Hive Mind among the indrel. Travelling to Val Salia, however, she finds herself not only the sole example of her kind for miles around, but also experiencing great difficulty understanding the people around her. Due to verbal language being unnatural for her and being unable to predict their emotions with pheromones, humans are like silent "storyghosts" to most of her senses, and she is becoming increasingly gripped with existential dread and paranoia. However, she has developed a coping mechanism - touching people (mainly their hair), which reassures her that they do exist. According to Isher, the previous indrel drone to leave their hive and try living among humanity eventually went on a murderous rampage. It's implied that their breakdown was fueled by the same kind of prolonged sensory deprivation Yannit is beginning to suffer from.

Everyone Is Bi
 Out-of-Placers (Webcomic) / int_5067fd81
comment
Everyone Is Bi: Literally baked into the yinglet genome. Since females are relatively rare and tend to be selective when they breed, males who want romantic relationships or recreational sex have to do so with each other. Their genitals have evolved to be just as compatible male/male as male/female specifically for these purposes.

comment
Evilutionary Biologist/Social Darwinist: The yinglet matriarchs practice a fairly ruthless form of eugenics, either using breeding as a reward or specifically breeding males with exceptional qualities or useful mutations. The so-called Patriarchs are given the most access for breeding as the most able and accomplished males, making them relatively easy to manipulate. It's also relatively easy for the Matriarchs to be so ruthless because yinglet mating rituals, reproductive biology, and child-rearing practices all conspire to make it virtually impossible to trace any particular yinglet back to a specific set of parents, so they aren't nearly as emotionally invested in any specific offspring as humans would be.

comment
Stumbling in the New Form: When Kass first gets turned into a yinglet, he falls over several times due to being unused to his spindly, digitigrade legs. It doesn't help that he initially tries to keep a humanlike pose with a vertically oriented spine when yinglets are physiologically meant to keep their torsos parallel with the ground like a bird. He also has trouble writing with clawed, paw-padded hands, making his handwriting very sloppy until he adjusts.

In one of his research entries, Kass implies that human children playing too rough with Yinglets isn't uncommon.

Beware the Silly Ones: The Salia family's hat. The nobles of House Ivenmoth are known for being eccentric and whimsical. Those who take that for a sign of weakness tend to come to sticky ends. Viracroix is a prime example of this, perhaps best exemplified when dealing with a subordinate with more appreciation for profit than their citizens. His method of debate involves wearing a "special outfit" (a tarp) to avoid getting splattered by Mister Omarhan's messy execution.

Weapon-Based Characterization: A one-handed steel mace for Elim; he carries one around as an Ivenmoth guard and, as a flashback shows, he also used to wield one during the War. A plain and straightforward weapon for a plain and straightforward kind of guy. Kassen used to favor a meteor hammer before his transformation. A flashy exotic weapon that relies on tricks and misdirection (skilled wielders can accurately snap the weight towards a target from almost any point in their dance-like routines). Yinglets in general favor spears and knives, as their arms are built for quick thrusts and suffer badly when trying to swing anything heavy.

Interspecies Romance: Isher pines after Kassen, a (former) human. Yinglets have been known to suggest 'scientifically inappropriate' acts to human researchers in exchange for oysters. Kuldra, a young, female Baxxid, has a crush on the human Trademaster Viracroix, much to her elder Varakses' annoyance. Lopin is explicitly described as a "human chaser" by other yinglets and it shows. He sold a very important item to Kassen because the latter was "so handsome" and seems to find Elim very attractive as well. Another Baxxid, Kalgkur, has a crush on a human coppersmith running a stall in the lower markets. Hilarity Ensues when he causes a bit of an incident and is assigned guard duty in that very area as a punishment.

Apparently, the vision of the hind pairs of Baxxid eyes isn't obstructed by cloth. Some Baxxid will wear headdresses when interacting with humans to cut down on any confusion over which eyes the human should be looking at.

Literal Metaphor: An unintentional example on Elim's part when he suggests "grilling" Lopin for information. Lopin does not take this well. It's a reasonable mistake for a downtrodden minority race in a late Medieval milieu to make.

Didn't Think This Through: Kattajak's opinion of punishment by exile in the northern Yinglet enclave, since, unlike down south where there's nothing but untamed wilderness for the exiles to flee to, up north is located right next to a flipping city. Said exiles will not only be able to make a living there, but will most likely do so by using the same bad behaviors that got them kicked out, resulting in them a) not having any incentive to change their ways, and b) giving the rest of Yingletkind a bad name.

My Instincts Are Showing: Kass eats bugs when tired/half asleep, much to her displeasure. She's also displeased by her own arousal when told that other yinglets consider her very attractive and very displeased by her body's physical reaction when she's propositioned by one of the yinglet patriarchs. Even Baxxids are occasionally subject to this. As a Proud Scholar Race, they try to hide these instincts from humans as much as they can.

Speech Impediment: Due to the positioning of their shelltooth, Yinglets cannot pronounce the english "th" sound. Urban Yinglets tend to replace it with "z" (e.g. "zat is zhe way we say zhis") while those further from human civilizations prefer "d" ("dat is de way we say dis"). Kass has trouble with this at first but quickly adapts to the urban yinglet way of speaking.

Made of Iron: Elim. Surviving a serious gut wound in the middle of a war in a medieval setting is already enough to qualify, but then he also gets a foot-long metal shiv rammed through his body and not only manages to get back up, but also to utterly destroy the yinglet gang that was threatening Kass. While being treated for said wound, it's revealed that the shiv mostly went through scar tissue left over from Elim's earlier war injury, so he's going to be fine.

Fantastic Livestock: In the absence of any non-fantastic livestock, humans on this world have domesticated a number of more alien creatures, such as tiplods: giant isopod-like animals that take the place of oxen as draft animals and sources of meat. A later page features a hauler-crab, a massive, lumbering creature that serves as both a beast of burden and an emergency water source in coastal regions.

comment
Mood Whiplash: In this page, Lopin comments on how Kass is lucky to have such a loyal friend in Elim... then starts commenting on how strong and handsome Elim is. A prime example is this page, which has a badass action scene, a dramatic flashback... and two little kids cheering happily as blood splatters all around them. Another one can be found here, which has a character in mortal danger, his friends becoming increasingly desperate... *Record Scratch* oops here's Ran and Lopin being silly. And yet again displayed here, with the Yinglets going from discussing serious "cloakin'-an'-daggerin'" to Squeeing over Lippie's embroidery skills in a single panel. Suffice to say that the author really likes this trope. After multiple pages of Kalgkur being his usual adorkable self and finally getting to talk to his secret crush (who looks like she might actually reciprocate), he accidentally kills someone in the most graphic way seen so far in the comic, traumatizing everyone around including himself.

Closer to Earth: Yinglet society uses this as their central organizing principle, relying on their relatively sensible and rational females to keep their flightier males in check. However, the females are if anything even more ruthlessly utilitarian than the males, especially when it comes to dealing with outsiders.

Armor-Piercing Response: When Matriarch Vizlet asks the very tired Kassie when she last slept, Kassie responds by telling her "last night" like it was a stupid question. This shocks Vizlet into realizing that Kassie was telling the truth about being human before, since no Yinglet, no matter how uninformed or how slow-witted the majority of their species is, wouldn't know how to sleep properly. note  Word of God is that while they need to sleep less than humans, they exhaust themselves quicker than most other species and need three to seven short naps every twenty-four hours. Trying to stay awake between sunrise and sunset for a Yinglet is like trying to stay up for several days straight.

Oh, Crap!: Brakka gets a lot of these as his plans unravel around him. To begin with, he finds out that Lopin (whom he desperately needs to find) is well and truly out of his reach. He also manages a fairly respectable Oh Crap moment when it dawns on him that a) he has completely misread the relationship between Kass and Elim and b) he stabbed a ranking member of the city's ruling house, and house Ivenmoth hasn't got to where it is by letting that kind of thing slide. Another one from Brakka as he realizes that the opponent he is fighting has grabbed his tail, and what's about to happen is not going to be pleasant.

You Did Everything You Could: Surgeon Merrs uses the 'I did everything I could' variant after operating on Elim. Ends up being a variation: rather than having failed to save his patient, Merrs regretfully informs the patient's friends that the recovery process will take months. This regretful tone was justified, since most officers and management just want to know how quickly a recruit can get back into the field, if ever, and Merrs didn't know Kass was personally close to Elim as a friend.

Later pages indicate Yannit (and by extension, other indrel) suffer from sensory deprivation when separated from their hives (where communication is primarily done through pheremones). Yannit still gets impulses to go crazy, but touching human hair helps keep her sane. Ran has also begun work on finding substances that can simulate Indrel pheromones to calm her down when these impulses come up.

Appropriated Appellation: An unwitting version. The indrel exile Kassen and Elim bring to Val Salia has no verbal name (due to the indrel language being based on pheremones and body language), but when prompted quickly declares she wants to adopt the "name" given to her by a human she met long ago - Hyanoisyskank. Fortunately, she's later convinced to shorten it to the much more innocuous "Yannit".

The Baxxid are serpentine insectoids with spiky limbs that, according to Ran Ste-Su G'Mindel's Val Salian Regional Field Guide, "are suited for ripping apart large, armored plains-beasts in an instant." But these are not gripping limbs, so despite having memories and language-learning skills that greatly surpass those of humans, they cannot make tools/structures or write things down like other civilized races. They have to rely on human servants to do those things for them.

Dude Looks Like a Lady
 Out-of-Placers (Webcomic) / int_ca4e037
comment
Dude Looks Like a Lady: Due to the massive gender imbalance in yinglet populations, around half of the males are extremely effeminate, both in looks and demeanor. Things like rounder snouts, shorter teeth and hair in addition to the fur are much sought after. Special mention goes to The Oracle of Bakersroof. Patriarch Chakki deserves a mention as well.

Cassandra Truth: Vizlet doesn't buy Kass' story at first, and while she's willing to go along with the Trademaster's machinations, she doesn't initially have much interest in easing his transition into enclave life. One flippant answer to "When was the last time you slept", though, and Vizlet is forced to revise her position in a hurry.

Red Herring

comment
Red Herring: Her expressions and manner at first leads you to suspect that Vizlet knows something about why Kass was transformed. As it turns out, she's just aware of the ulterior motive that sent Kass her way.

Reasonable Authority Figure
 Out-of-Placers (Webcomic) / int_dca70c44
comment
Reasonable Authority Figure: Trademaster Viracroix freely confesses to cultivating a bloodthirsty reputation, but is smart enough to ensure Kass gets enough out of their deal to secure her "good-natured cooperation." Matriarch Vizlet is just trying to do what's best for her people and accepts Kass' freedom and role as Viracroix's spy as the price of doing business (though she'd be well within her rights to just claim Kass as a daughter and use her as breeding stock). She also becomes much more sympathetic once she becomes convinced that Kass truly is a human changeling. Both Viracroix and Vizlet seem to recognize that increasing human knowledge of the yinglet is, on balance, a good thing.

Cumbersome Claws
 Out-of-Placers (Webcomic) / int_e08c7ae7
comment
Cumbersome Claws: Kassen is turned into a yinglet, a type of ratlike creature with clawed fingers. At one point he writes about wanting to ball his hand into a fist to punch someone, but that would just jab the claws into the puffy paw pads he has now. He also initially has trouble holding a quill, making his handwriting sloppier-looking than it used to be until he adjusts. The Baxxid are serpentine insectoids with spiky limbs that, according to Ran Ste-Su G'Mindel's Val Salian Regional Field Guide, "are suited for ripping apart large, armored plains-beasts in an instant." But these are not gripping limbs, so despite having memories and language-learning skills that greatly surpass those of humans, they cannot make tools/structures or write things down like other civilized races. They have to rely on human servants to do those things for them.

comment
Art Evolution: In addition to the general artwork improvement over the course of a several-year comic runtime, Isher in particular has had some character design updates. Early pages depicted her with four-fingered hands and modestly-sized toe claws. Later pages depict her with five fingers and giant talons on two of her toes.

According to Isher, the previous indrel drone to leave their hive and try living among humanity eventually went on a murderous rampage. It's implied that their breakdown was fueled by the same kind of prolonged sensory deprivation Yannit is beginning to suffer from.

Kassen used to favor a meteor hammer before his transformation. A flashy exotic weapon that relies on tricks and misdirection (skilled wielders can accurately snap the weight towards a target from almost any point in their dance-like routines).

Fantastic Caste System
 Out-of-Placers (Webcomic) / int_edcc813f
comment
Fantastic Caste System: Yinglet society tends to be fairly chaotic, with an inner core of females surrounded by a loose inner ring of the most competent males (the patriarchs) and a chaotic outer ring of less competent males who are often at loose ends. However, all females are considered nobility and accorded the title of "Lady".

Monochromatic Impact Shot: The moment Kalgkur accidentally kills a thief is shown entirely in silhouettes. It's still quite graphic, showing the poor thief being torn to pieces by the impact of Kalgkur's claw.

Distracted by the Sexy: Vizlet dresses Kass with "the Reed of Carnal Beckoning" for her introduction to the patriarchs knowing that it will distract them from asking too many questions. Now if she'd just had time to explain that to Kass first... Lopin sold Kass the transformation artifact despite his better judgement because human Kass was just so handsome. Kass seeing Elim shirtless caused a wee bit of distraction for the Diplomat.

Being A Yinglet Sucks: Besides Kassen for obvious reasons, Lopin admits that if he had the choice, he would love to be human over being a yinglet, because humans have everything that most of his species wants.

Accidental Murder: Kalgkur slightly misjudges his turning speed when trying to stop a thief. Unfortunately since he is a giant serpentine creature made almost entirely of muscle and blades, the result is a spectacular and gory mess.
