The Descended (Webcomic)	comment	The Descended is a webcomic run by Brian D. Lewis, also known as Ranger_Brian_New (on the forums), hosted on ComicFury. It is set in the fictional world of Soano, an original setting with unique rules built from scratch, governed by mechanics of an Role-Playing Game 'Verse Brian created. The story follows the quests and adventures that three individual groups have the misfortune of undertaking: The Elementals, The Latens, and The Outcasts. Because each group has four members (with the promise of a fourth group to come), it obviously has numerous characters, each with their own distinctive personality and rich backstories.The comic suffered from a two-and-a-half-year hiatus as Brian finished patching up and solidifying the details of the world he did not have consistently filled when he started the comic, a mistake he felt lead to the Writer's Block which kept him from continuing. As of July 2012, he has announced that he has mostly finished with his revisions, to the point where July 30th marked the relaunch of his comic, which is now updating regularly every Monday at 6:00 PM, Pacific Time. Currently, he estimates it will take until approximately November for him to get into new content.Plans are also under way for him to run a game based off of the mechanics he's created as well, though he has not announced an approximate date for this.

The Descended (Webcomic) / int_11077b27	type	EyeColorChange
The Descended (Webcomic) / int_11077b27	comment	Eye Color Change: Eye color can change with any number of events, though most frequently, it's due to alignment—brighter colors for good, darker colors for evil. Ultimately at the higher levels, this results in characters universally having blue eyes, golden/orange eyes, or red eyes, regardless of original eye color. Argus has one blue eye and one red eye, despite neither being his natural eye color. Kinas's original eye color was golden, shifting to dark gray post-Faceâ€“Heel Turn. Sinaer had one of her purple eyes turn gold.

Some (like Argus) are so good at it that they can convince others that the "evil way" is better. As an unfortunate side-effect, the Slave to PR half of the trope also applies to Argus, and every time Aria points out he's done a good deed, his bar on the Karma Meter shifts a little in the wrong direction.

The Descended (Webcomic) / int_21e5b9c7	comment	Failed a Spot Check: Justified in the backstory of The Elementals and The Latens: the army of Chaos was capable of attacking Helops directly and catching them off-guard because they specifically chose to avoid harming so much as a single village on their way, whereas most armies sent to destroy or conquer Helopia wasted their time attacking villages near the boarder of the nation. Faragawa fell through the same tactic, as it was orchestrated by the same man. Argus's failing of one is how Sasha is introduced.

This also applied to the Anime Hair used on the sprites for Argus, Sanik, Kinas, and Nathan.

They discourage the horrific lifestyle they once had and hide any evidence that they or any of their ancestors had ever been an adventurer—so as a result, every generation of Strats believes they are the first of their family to have gone adventuring. Argus and Chaos are no exceptions. The Elementals and Latens have become this as well.

The Descended (Webcomic) / int_31874a	comment	100% Heroism Rating: The Elementals started off fairly small, but became widely known as some of the greatest adventurers of their nation by the time they were called on to thwart a demon invasion. After losing Sanik, his reputation skyrocketed. It wasn't until shortly after repelling an enemy invasion that they well and truly became this, though. However, they've since started from scratch, owing to Helops being destroyed. Jason Argo Maustrat is hailed as one of the greatest adventurers of all time, a hero across all of Soano. For that same reason, Argus (now anything but heroic) prefers not to use his old name, only invoking it when absolutely necessary.

Nathan Betrax is pragmatic and technically evil, but has a set of codes he follows. Chaos didn't want to harm Argus (or at the very least, wanted to kill him last) because of their relationship. The same applies to his servant Celaren, who didn't wish to kill Enlecar.

Kinas (dark gray eyes, black hair), Sinaer (purple eyes, black hair with purple streaks; yellow eye, yellow streaks of hair), and Enlecar (yellow and blue eyes, with yellow and blue streaks in his hair) all contain the spirit of the trope as well Both Davos and Sarge originally had hair colors different from their eye colors. Now, Sarge has red hair, and Davos's hair is canonically very-dark-crimson.

The Descended (Webcomic) / int_9d6427ec	type	Time Travel
The Descended (Webcomic) / int_9d6427ec	comment	Time Travel: It's possible under extreme circumstances, but has limits. While little changes to the past/present are possible, The Cosmos always ensure that things play out "the way they are supposed to". Time Travel to the past cannot change it, since it has already happened. Do nothing to alter history? That's how it was supposed to go. Try to mess things up, or make things better? Circumstances always foil you. Think that you're supposed to do something in the past and not do it? Someone else takes your place. Think someone else is supposed to do something, but end up doing it yourself? That's how things were supposed to work. Try saving someone who was supposed to die? Only possible if you make it look like they have. And so on. Time Travel to the future is not recommended, because if you travel to the future and come back, the future you went to is destined to happen no matter what you try. Do nothing? It happens. Try to prevent it? You end up securing its existence. Try to cause it? You succeed. \\This rule has a couple of loopholes, though. It only kicks in for physical travel to the future, so people with the ability to see the future aren't actually seeing "The Future"; they're simply seeing how events are most likely to play out. The other loophole was found by Chaos—by traveling to the future but not traveling back, Chaos managed to cheat Gods into thinking him dead, rendering him untraceable.

Necromancy, one of the only forms of magic actually illegal in Soano, however, is actually made up of the Light and Water elements' combination—fittingly enough, its name is "Reflect", and Necromancy involves inverting the norms.

With The Elementals defeated and the forces of Helops beginning to tire, it looked like total defeat would happen... until Voss, David, and Ian unleashed their fury. This managed to wipe out nine tenths of the invading army and seriously cripple their leader, Celaren. However, Celaren managed to kill David, Ian, and Voss before leaving. Helops survived the attack, but was unable to recover and fell apart, whereas the remnants of the army were still strong enough to level Revan, Lejus, and Yeras Wharf before they died. Argus had this during his fight with Chaos, who had killed two of their traveling companions and critically wounded Hank. Only after Hank stabbed Chaos from behind did Argus get a chance to counter-attack.

The Descended (Webcomic) / int_b85c06f2	type	Glowing Eyes of Doom
The Descended (Webcomic) / int_b85c06f2	comment	Glowing Eyes of Doom: Magical characters have these on so frequently it is almost permanent. Higher-leveled characters get alignment-based variations, blue for good, red for evil, and orange for neutral. Characters who have switched elements and/or alignments tend to frequently maintain one eye from each side, meaning that when their eyes shift fully to one side, it is never a good sign. Argus is the best example. If his Hidden Eye glows blue, you're dead. If his Hidden Eye glows red, you'll wish you were. If both eyes go red, you're deader than dead.

The Descended (Webcomic) / int_bc74ef27	comment	Berserk Button: In general, it is a very bad idea to mess with any of the cast members, because each group has at least one member who reacts very negatively to seeing their companions in mental pain. Argus->Davos. Physically, he doesn't mind if Davos is beaten to a pulp. Mentally mess with him, and you'd wish Argus had finished you off. Sanik->Latens, especially Kinas. They may be his rivals, but he still considers them comrades; mess with them, and he will not show mercy. Tyra->Sanik. Sarge->Elementals. Even M. They're his comrades, and he won't tolerate it. Kinas->Elementals and Latens. The Elementals are his rivals, but they're still his friends. Much more so for The Latens, though; they are his group, and he does not tolerate them suffering. Sinaer->Kinas, since someone has to look out for him.

While the darkness element has the typical negative connotations, it is no more evil than any other element, only having its reputation because Darkness Mages (illusions), along with Water Mages (manipulation) are the primary elements of deception, making users less trustworthy. Warriors (especially Darkness Warriors) have a negative reputation because their skills mainly involve sacrifice and bloodlust, but they're not a dark art, either. The true Dark Art is the "Reflect" sub-element, a combination of Light and Water—it's the basis of necromancy.

The three above were also traveling with two others, one of them Davos's father and the other, Hank's Love Interest. Chaos killed both of them before they knew what hit them, but failed to kill Hank. Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: Chaos as the Brawn, with Argus and Hank sharing traits of Brains and Beauty. Comic Trio: Who filled what role depends on the situation. In towns, Argus was the Only Sane Man. During adventures, it'd frequently be Chaos, with Argus as the leader and Hank as the follower.

The Descended (Webcomic) / int_d62dd556	comment	The Chessmaster: Central to the plot, so many are present. Most notably, Argus, Hank, and Chaos are considered to be in a four-way chess battle. The fourth player being The Cosmos, which all three are trying to manipulate to their advantage without getting fried. Voss is also an extremely notable one. Despite him being dead at the start of the story, he managed to predict the exact way both The Elementals and The Latens (before the latter even existed) would act, equipping them with what they would need for their new lifetime of adventuring.

Sanik fit many of the literal requirements pre-Battle of Helops, but only became a true hero after it. As a contrast, Kinas used to fit the mold even better than Sanik did, but is anything but since his Faceâ€“Heel Turn, which started because of that same battle.

The Descended (Webcomic) / int_f273b1cb	comment	Devil in Plain Sight: Argus can choose to hide himself rather effectively, although most of the times, he makes no effort to hide who he really is. Word of God is that he learned the trick from Chaos, who fit the trope far better.

The Descended (Webcomic) / int_f4cc3a09	type	Right Makes Might
The Descended (Webcomic) / int_f4cc3a09	comment	Right Makes Might: Inverted, subverted, and played straight at different points in the story. Played Straight: The Elementals, who have a higher moral standing than their counterparts The Latens, take less damage in combat. Inverted: The Elementals and Latens, when they were the same group, were weaker than the Agent Of Chaos sent to destroy them, who was evil. Subverted: Argus gets weaker when he is being "good", but frequently puts more into his fight, resulting in him being more powerful.

The Descended (Webcomic) / int_f7a1c539	comment	Three Plus Two: During their "final battle" before ascension, their adventuring party was this. The three above were also traveling with two others, one of them Davos's father and the other, Hank's Love Interest. Chaos killed both of them before they knew what hit them, but failed to kill Hank.

Subverted with Sanik-Tyra and Kinas-Sinaer, though: Word of God says they will, they do, and have been for some time. It's just that when you live your life constantly on the move, adventuring consistently every day and having very few nights where you have private chambers, they don't get the chance very often.

Celaren did this to The Latens, and Argus is one as well, able to convince even Sasha (most of the time) that the way of evil is perfectly fine.
