comment
Five thousand years ago, the god of death fell into the Candlelight Sea.The islands were littered with his bones and the waters became a haunted wasteland - the final resting place of a swarm of hungry ghosts. Those few who survived the cataclysm now cower behind the glow of sacred lighthouses, fearing the deadly oceans beyond.When the spirit of an ill-fated princess arrives on the other side of the horizon line, she risks her soul for a chance to live again. Her opponent: the vile remains of the fallen death god himself - a formless, parasitic, devilish blight known as the Red Tide King.Read it here.

comment
Undeathly Pallor: Human seaghosts' skin tones range from bone white to different shades of purple or blue, depending on their skin tone in life. The Fata Morgana bleach white regardless of their original skintone, and seem to actually be the corpses of the seabitten, puppeteered by Cheline to do her bidding.

Title Drop: "Phantomarine" is the name of the local Power Crystal, which generates light to repel seaghosts, not needing an electrical current like the related Revenite. Interestingly, Pavel was given a lantern with Phantomarine in it when all of the substance in the known world should be in the Lighthouse Road.

Deal with the Devil
 Phantomarine (Webcomic) / int_1fc8335e
comment
Deal with the Devil: Multiple. If Phaedra can ask a question Cheth can't answer and if he asks a question she knows the answer to, then she and her crew get their lives back. What Cheth didn't tell her was that she only saved her own life, and so her life force was divided between herself and her crew. One fifth of a soul isn't enough to live off of, condemning them to live as conscious seaghosts instead. Amos is obeying Cheline on the belief that she will bestow her gift upon mankind, despite her orders resulting in the death of his son and the protest that she could have at least given him a funeral... she shoots him down, claiming that feeding the seagulls was honor enough.

Deceased Parents Are the Best
 Phantomarine (Webcomic) / int_3866ab91
comment
Deceased Parents Are the Best: Phaedra clearly misses her father, who she deeply admired, but only calls her living mother "panicky". Subverted with Vanna, who fits this trope but is not actually killed. She is shown as a kind maternal figure and even in deep pain she makes sure that her son has a store of medicine and a way to find help, and Pavel misses her a lot. Lani speaks fondly of her mother, but doesn't know she's already dead.

comment
Big Good: Zigzagged with Cheth, Shoshana and Cheline. Also see Big Bad above. Cheline is revered as the Mother Goddess of Life, whose daughter Shoshana saved the world from the evil god Cheth. She is the mainstream deity of the Candlelight Sea and Shoshana is a Messianic Archetype, the Prophetess who is predicted to one day come back to fix the sea. While Cheth is the creepy God of the Dead, in truth he used to be the psychopomp of souls towards reincarnation. He is the main benefactor of the protagonist and his main goal is to restore the natural order and finally let the countless billions of souls stuck in the sea move on. He also used to be worshiped by his own church, just like Cheline.

Locked into Strangeness
 Phantomarine (Webcomic) / int_5148024
comment
Locked into Strangeness: Victims of the seabite have the color bleached out of them at the site of the bite, and the bite is said to "spread" the longer a victim remains untreated. Pavel's head and neck, including his hair, have been bleached. Some of the other children at the Salabay Aquifer also have bleached streaks in their hair as a result of their seabites. When Pavel's mother is seabitten, she loses all the color in her skin, eyes, and hair before fading away. The Fata Morgana all have white hair.

Power Crystal
 Phantomarine (Webcomic) / int_51bf74d6
comment
Power Crystal: Phantomarine is a glowing mineral used in the beacons of the Lighthouse Road - its perpetual light creates a barrier that repels seaghosts. It has a related substance called Revenite that provides similar protection, but requires an electrical current to glow. Pavel was given a lantern with a piece inside, which should be impossible because all of the Phantomarine in the world was supposed to have been used to make the Road.

He's a Jerkass God to Phaedra, and he is also blamed for the existence of the Fata Morgana, a dangerous army of assassins... Halea is sinister from her first appearance, quickly becoming a threat to Pavel and his mother when she learns that he has survived his seabite longer than normally possible. She is also behind Phaedra's assassination, as well as her father's, and has led a millennia-long campaign of misinformation and suppression via her church.

Crapsack World
 Phantomarine (Webcomic) / int_994928f9
comment
Crapsack World: Most of humanity is dispersed on a hellish water world. While life on the islands is generally okay, the entire ocean is plagued by ghosts who will attempt to devour any living creature they come across. Anyone injured by these ghosts becomes incurably cursed and is shunned by society, and will inevitably die and be consumed by the curse, becoming undead thralls. The only reason the sea can be navigated at all is because of a line of Lighthouses that emit a magical light that repels the ghosts, but the undead thralls are resistant to it and can even disable it during attacks. As if that wasn't bad enough, all of those miserable ghosts? That's the fate of everyone. There is no other afterlife or reincarnation system; once you die you're stuck forever in the sea as a decaying monster who serves as a toy for the God of the Dead.

My God, What Have I Done?
 Phantomarine (Webcomic) / int_a1b141f4
comment
My God, What Have I Done?: When Phaedra sees Pavel with a clear head for the first time after eating ghost food and realizes that he has seabite, she assumes that she might have been the one who bit him in her fugue state and simply forgot about it, immediately apologizing to him for her assumed actions. She also reacts this way when she realizes she doomed her crew and herself to unlife.

Fate Worse than Death
 Phantomarine (Webcomic) / int_b1346878
comment
Fate Worse than Death: Anyone who is bitten by a seaghost slowly turns white and brittle until they become the Fata Morgana. That being said, true death is not much better due to the fact that souls are forever stuck in the sea in an unending restless state as they suffer and fall apart. This is not natural, and Cheth's defeat 5000 years ago caused this. He is supposed to be their psychopomp, but due to his injured status he is unable to continue his work, something that torments him.

While Cheth is the creepy God of the Dead, in truth he used to be the psychopomp of souls towards reincarnation. He is the main benefactor of the protagonist and his main goal is to restore the natural order and finally let the countless billions of souls stuck in the sea move on. He also used to be worshiped by his own church, just like Cheline.

Otherworldly and Sexually Ambiguous: While Cheth is primarily referred to as male, he rarely restricts himself to a single gender. In fact, one of his favorite forms is taking on the forms of a male and female twin simultaneously. Side material clarifies he defaults to male pronouns, but is otherwise genderfluid.

He and his mother eat ramen. Cheline's shrine looks Egyptian or Babylonian. Phaedra's father dresses like an 18th-century British admiral.

Creepy Twins: Subverted. Cheth often appears as a pair of tall, dark-haired "twins", one male and one female, who follow this trope's archetype. Because he puppeteers them both at the same time, they finish each others' sentences, wear the same facial expressions, and, in the event of injury, experience the other's pain— but he has strongly hinted that they aren't actually twins.
