Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Sister series to Animorphs written by K. A. Applegate and Michael Grant and published by Scholastic between 1999 and 2001.The series is about four teenagers with opposing personalities Trapped in Another World, where all of the classical polytheistic gods, demons and legendary heroes from various mythologies fled when people stopped worshiping them in the "Old World." While dealing with lunatic gods and insect aliens, they must find a way back to the Old World. Unfortunately, the only person who might be able to help them return is Senna, the witch who brought them to Everworld and shows up from time-to-time to either save their lives or travel with them and lend her magic to help. However, Senna has her own goals and plans for Everworld, and is more interested in bringing them to fruition than helping the rest of the group, and may be following a master plan darker than any of them could ever guess.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Everworld had many of the themes of Animorphs, but aimed at an older audience, so it got to include "fun" subjects such as alcoholism, homophobia, religious intolerance, prejudice, obsessive-compulsive disorder and, the best of all(?), pedophilic rape.Books in the series include: Search for Senna (1999) Land of Loss (1999) Enter the Enchanted (1999) Realm of the Reaper (1999) Discover the Destroyer (2000) Fear the Fantastic (2000) Gateway to the Gods (2000) Brave the Betrayal (2000) Inside the Illusion (2000) Understand the Unknown (2000) Mystify the Magician (2001) Entertain the End (2001) | |

Big, Screwed-Up Family | |
Everworld / int_154aa477 | comment |
Big, Screwed-Up Family: Loki's. Christopher says it the best: "As bad as Loki is man, his kids are worse. I mean, how is it that you're this Calvin Klein, underwear model-looking god, and your kids are a snake, a wolf, and a half-dead monster woman?" And that's not to mention the Wales family; both members that appeared in the series have a serious case of Moral Myopia, and it's implied in the ninth book that Senna was conceived when her mother used magic to seduce her father, just as Senna is doing to David in the series. Worse yet: it's implied that this magic-powered seduction is how the Wales family has reproduced for untold generations, and Senna may be descended from Morgan La Fey. | |

The Brute: Keith, so much. He believes in force, More Dakka, and not much else. Even Senna thinks he has issues. In a purely story-wise sense, he's closer to The Dragon. Ares and Heracles fulfill this role for the Olympian gods, with their short tempers, love of violence, and incredible stupidity. Ares in particular is a wonderful case of Dumb Muscle meets Psychopathic Manchild. | |

Make Them Rot: All witches—including Senna—have poisonous blood that kills plants, though apparently not animals or people. It can even render land infertile, which is why (in Everworld at least) witches are always killed in ways that won't shed blood, like drowning or burning. | |

Aborted Arc | |
Everworld / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: Inside the Illusion sets up two plot points that were lost in the shuffle and never mentioned again: in one, Senna recalls a mysterious young man with 'the glow' (which would make him the only character from the Old World other than Senna and her mother to wield magic) who led her to a statue of Isis (leading Senna to link her mother with Isis) in a store only to disappear and never be seen again. In another, Senna notes that she feels an unseen presence watching her whenever she opens the gateway between the Old World and Everworld, something distinct from the gods or anyone else. Like the mysterious young man, this watcher is never seen or heard from in any way again. | |

In one occasion in Inside the Illusion, she says Jalil's name seven times in one page. Interestingly, David (the one from Animorphs) exhibits a similar tic. | |

Everworld / int_2969dda7 | comment |
Nightmare Fetishist: Senna takes a liking to some . . . rather odd things. The two best examples are in Brave the Betrayal and Inside the Illusion. In the former, the characters are sent into a mirror world where the sky is down and the ground is up. The core four find this extremely disturbing and disorienting, while Senna is cheerfully intrigued, compliments the African deities on creating such an awesome place, and compares the whole thing to fine art. A more disturbing example comes in the next book when Senna states that she likes watching crazy people, and it is implied that she has a thing for Jalil because she enjoys watching him struggle with his obsessive compulsive disorder. | |

Brilliant, but Lazy | |
Everworld / int_355007c3 | comment |
Brilliant, but Lazy: Senna's mother Anica, who has all of her daughter's magical ability but none of her ambition, and seems to have crossed over into Everworld solely as a means to escape the poverty and obscurity of her life in the Old World. She doesn't do much better for herself in Everworld either, though, and Senna is so disappointed all she can do when she learns the truth is laugh at the notion that she ever considered this woman a potential threat. | |

Out-Gambitted: Senna outgambits Merlin and Anica in Inside the Illusion. Merlin gets his own back in Mystify the Magician with assists from Christopher and Jalil. These are just some of the more notable examples; throughout the series, Merlin, Jalil, David, Senna, Loki, Hel, Ka Anor and the other gods run countless overlapping gambits that inevitably end up tripping one another up. | |

Split Personality: Kinda. The four live in both Everworld and our world. When one of them sleeps in Everworld, they reunite until they wake up there. They call this "CNN: Breaking News", where the memories of the Old World and Everworld collide. It gets to the point where they basically think of each life they live as separate people. | |

Breaking Speech: An example where one character's attempt to break another with words is turned around and broken in return. Jalil attempts to point out to Senna that she's in a bad situation, being on her own in a world where she has few allies and many enemies. Senna promptly composes and responds with one of these, deconstructing everything from Jalil's confidence to his religious beliefs, to great success. | |

Everworld / int_3ff156fa | comment |
Nay-Theist: Senna's official view towards the various gods of Everworld. She openly acknowledges their existence and often even scolds the others for not treating them as such, but also quite clearly states that they are not omnipotent, are too weak to use power correctly, and she even plans to kill or reduce every god to a slave when she rules Everworld. It is unknown what her attitude towards the idea of a monotheistic God is, as the only things she's said about that sort of religion is that she enjoyed going to church and that she can't stand April's self-righteous religiousity. Jalil as well. He can accept that these beings have tremendous powers, etc, etc. But none of them are gods, and as a straight-up atheist, he will not bow to them. In fact, most of the kids express these sorts of sentiments on one occasion or another; he and Senna are just the most obvious about it. | |

Everworld / int_49fb5ccb | comment |
Combat Pragmatist: The group (particularly Jalil) become adept at this simply to survive, as each culture seems to be mode-locked into whatever tactics were the norm when they were brought over into Everworld. Under Athena's patronage they are tasked with instructing the Greek Army in guerrilla warfare in order to combat The Hetwan horde. When the Sennites invade Everworld with modern weaponry capable of killing immortals, the group brings multiple cultures together to school them in modern tactics. The Hetwan as a culture do battle in this manner. Their bodies are frail compared to a Viking or Spartan and they rarely utilize armor (as their carapaces would shatter beneath it with enough force anyway), but they can overwhelm most armies through sheer numbers given how quickly they can spawn. They've developed attachments to their bodies allowing them to weaponize their acidic bodily fluids as projectiles, not to mention the fact that they can fly. | |

Clap Your Hands If You Believe: Also ties in with Gods Need Prayer Badly, as there is a terrible implication about the nature of Ka Anor... it's theorized by Jalil that he may not actually exist, not in the way the other Gods in Everworld do. The idea that the God-Eater may actually be a manifestation of the religious fervor of The Hetwan disturbs the group more than any other God they encounter does, though the series ends before it can be fully explored. | |

Badass Normal: The core four approach this as the series progresses. They'll never win any stand-up fights, but their ability to survive and turn situations to their advantage is very impressive. Any human characters they encounter are either utterly pathetic, or this, with special points going to Thorolf and the other Vikings. | |

Dying Moment of Awesome: The already dead Thorolf manages to bail the kids out of an upside down African afterlife by holding onto a messenger of the gods with his bare hands while Jalil blackmails the gods themselves (see Crowning Moment of Awesome above). This leads to their release, resulting in Thorolf's immediate death...which he greets in true Large Ham style, demanding the Valkyries come and get him. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Senna seems to like doing this. She talks down all four of the other main characters in Discover the Destroyer, then again in Brave the Betrayal. During Inside the Illusion, she also lets Anica have it pretty bad. Jalil recognizes this, hangs a lampshade on it, and at one point (Discover The Destroyer) even deconstructs one of Senna's speeches point for point. He and Merlin give Senna and her troops a joint "The Reason You Suck" Speech in Mystify the Magician. | |

Overshadowed by Awesome: Senna is a powerful witch in her own right, but her powers don't look that impressive next to Merlin, Loki, Hel, Ka Anor or any of the other people who are out to get her. Her recruitment of Keith and company is an attempt at rectifying the situation. Merlin himself suffers from this in comparison to the gods, as do heroic humans like Galahad and Finn McCool. As for the core four (who are competent enough by early in the series to be much more than innocent bystanders, they suffer from it when compared to just about everyone. | |

Screwed by the Network: Because there was a chance the series could be renewed, the ending was deliberately vague. As a result, the series ends with David having just come out of hitting bottom, and proceeded to mostly ignore him and leave him isolated, most likely because there wasn't enough length left to devote to building him back up. In addition, the Ka Anor plot ends up reading like a better foreshadowed, lighter version/prelude to the Animorphs' Bolivian Army Ending. | |

Everworld / int_95b7c400 | comment |
Faux Affably Evil: Senna is this for many, especially after she drops the Affably Evil act. The combination of Deadpan Snarker and Chessmaster ability helps, causing some to overlook her Jerk Ass moments in favour of her capability. | |

In the Blood: It becomes apparent in Inside the Illusion that quite a few of Senna's traits were inherited from the maternal side. As an immortal example, Loki and Hel are notably smarter than most of the other gods, much to the dismay of the main characters. | |

Do Not Taunt Cthulhu: When the kids aren't kowtowing to the gods, they're insulting them. Defied by Senna, who repeatedly tells them that taunting Cthulhu is a very bad idea. The page quote is given by her after the core four flip off the African deities, which Senna thinks is outright stupid and unnecessarily risky. | |

Took a Level in Badass | |
Everworld / int_9bcd82c0 | comment |
Took a Level in Badass: April, Jalil, and Christopher move from hopelessly lost kids who just want to go home, to major players in Everworld. Even David does this, following his rebound in the final two books, shaking his dependence on Senna, and becoming a leading figure in Everworld's army, thus undoing some of the aforementioned Badass Decay. And then there's Senna in Brave the Betrayal when her powers as a witch increase dramatically and she becomes able to extend her Compelling Voice at distances and even manipulate energies to move the course of an entire river. | |

Too Dumb to Live | |
Everworld / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: The party and Dionysus are traveling incognito in Hetwan territory, trying to keep the fact that they have a god in tow quiet since, you know, the Hetwan's god eats gods. Dionysus gets bored, so he summons a party out of thin air. To his credit, he realizes his mistake and distracts the Hetwan by creating their insectoid equivalent of "party girls"note female Hetwan are barely sentient, flying bags of organs (with translucent skin) that cause any male Hetwan in the vicinity to fly into a hormonal rutting ecstasy, resulting in a horrific alien orgy that allows the group to escape. Having said that, Dionysus' powers are derived from him being drunk. He's useless when he's plastered but he's worse than useless when he's sober, described by Christopher and Jalil who have to drag him away as "John Goodman-sized and Robert Downey Jr.-level stoned." | |

Freudian Excuse: Senna's mom was generally a nice person (well, sort of) who did want her daughter to be safe, but was too overwhelmed.

The Chessmaster | |
Everworld / int_d62dd556 | comment |
The Chessmaster: Senna and Merlin. A good chunk of the first ten books is made up of the two of them trying to out-manuever one another. Senna escapes him in their first three encounters, but comes off worse in their fourth. Senna deconstructs the "chessmaster" analogy in Inside the Illusion, commenting that while a chessmaster has to be able to predict moves far in advance, people are very unpredictable; although she is good at guessing what people will do, her real talent is that she can think quickly and adapt to whatever unexpected situation she finds herself in. | |

A God Am I: Both defied and invoked by Senna in Inside the Illusion. She admits freely that she is no god, merely a mortal with unusual abilities. However, she also pretends to be a god, creating an illusionary appearance and voice, and then passing herself off as one to the Sennites, in order to better unite and encourage them, and give her cause a greater sense of importance. (And she puts on quite a performance.) Played straight in Mystify the Magician, where Senna seems to honestly believe she's become a god, and starts to really act like one. | |

Blue and Orange Morality: Explored in Brave the Betrayal with Eshu and the Orisha. From the kids' perspective Eshu is a Jerk Ass Trickster God, constantly following them around needling them to make a sacrifice to the Orisha and then punishing them when they don't. But from Eshu's case he is simply enforcing the rules of the land the kids have come to and is more puzzled than annoyed by their continued defiance (though he does start to get annoyed with Jalil in particular as the dispute turns into a personal contest of wills between them. In the end, the Orisha get their sacrifice through a handy bit of Loophole Abuse and Eshu sends the kids on their way without further incident, though he warns them not to return to his lands again. | |
