* ParalyzingFearOfSexuality: The unnamed male character in ''Owned,'' who always wanted to enter a submissive relationship but was always too scared of the [[RealMenWearPink implications]] to do so. He opened up to a dominant woman[[hottip:*:who it is implied he knows or lives in the same building as]], who enters into a slave contract with him. Unfortunately, immediately afterwards he walks into a metal bar, causing him to [[LaserGuidedAmnesia forget the entire evening.]] It's then shown on page 4 that she's NotSoDifferent -- he's her first submissive, too.

''[[http://collar6.com Collar 6]]'' is an {{Animesque}} webcomic based around the exploits of a (voluntary) slavegirl named Laura; her “owner”, Mistress Sixx; Sixx’s rival, Mistress Butterfly, and Sixx’s maid, Ginger. With Ginger’s recent promotion from maid to a “personal slave”, two new maids, named Stella and Claire, have been introduced. ScheduleSlip has been far better than with many other webcomics, and most strips try to both advance the story and provide at least one laugh.

Furthermore, there seems to be less reliance on rule of law as opposed to retribution, and it turns out that Sixx ''is'' the authority.

Laura was already in a submissive role where she'd been given consent for sex, however she didn't know about the drugs, and so this was more a case of a lack of communication between dom and sub than a true rape. (Also of note, there was no sex involved, only intimate touching.)

[[caption-width-right:348:3 girls in latex, what are you waiting for?]]

''[[http://collar6.com Collar 6]]'' is an {{Animesque}} webcomic based around the exploits of a (voluntary) slavegirl named Laura; her “owner”, Mistress Sixx; Sixx’s rival, Mistress Butterfly, and Sixx’s maid, Ginger. With Ginger’s recent promotion from maid to a “personal slave”, two new maids, named Stella and Claire, have been introduced. ScheduleSlip has been far better than with many other webcomics, and most strips try to both advance the story and provide at least one laugh.

While it originated as a ''technically'' worksafe, if FetishFuel-filled, series, later pages (and the page ads) have contained nudity, so it is now best considered '''NotSafeForWork.'''

Also contains a side story, ''[[http://collar6.com/archive/owned-1 Owned]]'', about a fairly inexperienced male submissive and the fairly inexperienced domme [[AccidentalMarriage he wakes up to discover he has signed a slave contract]], which explores other aspects of the world.
----
!!''Collar 6'' provides examples of:

* AbsurdlyHighStakesGame: If Sixx loses her bet with Butterfly, all of her titles and assets (which are ... ''significant'') are transferred to Butterfly ''and'' she becomes Butterfly's slave.
* AccidentalMarriage: The side-story "Owned" revolves around this -- a man agreed to a slave contract but doesn't remember it due to [[LaserGuidedAmnesia head trauma]]. The Mistress (who apparently knows him / lives near him) is holding him to it. Complicating matters is that he admits, begrudgingly, that he was always too afraid to explore his submissive side and the fact that he is the Mistress's first ever slave. They reconcile and decide to give their future together a chance.
* AchievementsInIgnorance: [[spoiler: Trina flat out states that Laura shouldn't be able to enter subspace to help Sixx, as she's not a high enough level slave. Laura then calls the idea of a "slave level" absurd and said she she just did it, and had no idea doing so was impossible.]]
** And again as [[spoiler:Laura fights Butterfly, halting her apparently effortlessly while declaring that none of it makes sense but it doesn't matter, because Butterfly isn't going to hurt anyone else.]] [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Just awesome.]]
* AllMenArePerverts[=/=]AllWomenAreLustful: It's that kind of world.
* AllThereInTheManual: The “about” section of the Web site explains where the story is taking place, though WordOfGod is that that's no longer the setting and he'll change it when he gets the time.
* AllWomenAreDomsAllMenAreSubs: Initially played straight (more due to a [[ImprobablyFemaleCast lack of male characters than anything]]) and later averted when we see a male dom in Anya's flashback, and the plot-critical character of Michael Kappel is a male dom.
* AlternateContinuity: Crimson Latex.
* AlternateHistory: C6's history split off from our when [[spoiler: the Roman Empire discovered {{Atlantis}} -- and, more importantly, a hidden repository of sexual magic research therein.]].
* ArtEvolution[=/=]ArtShift: From BlackAndWhite to color. Furthermore, there has definitely been a gradual improvement in style, as the art became far more detailed.
* AssShove: Done in [[http://collar6.com/archive/collar-6-guest-pride-2 Guest Strip Pride #2]]. (SFW)
** A disturbing example is implied in the last panel of #261.
* AuthorAppeal
* AuthorAvatar: Wolf has said that Gary is his {{expy}}.
* AwesomeButImpractical: People in this world apparently live much of their lives in bondage/fetish gear like corsets, latex bodysuits, and ballet boots.
* BarbieDollAnatomy: Averted, in that nipples are clearly visible on topless characters, and played straight in that whenever a bare crotch is shown there is no pubic hair, though there is some anatomical detail.
* BareYourMidriff: Amazingly, almost completely averted.
* BarrierWarrior: [[spoiler:Laura]]
* BatmanGambit: While it wasn't set up intentionally, Trina realizes that [[spoiler: Michelle would never let Butterfly take Laura alone]].
* BeachEpisode: Not in the story yet, but Wolf did make a voting incentive of [[IncrediblyLamePun Sixx on the beach]].
* BigBad: Mistress Butterfly.
* BigDamnHeroes[=/=]TheCavalry: Laura [[spoiler:showing up to save Sixx in the middle of Subspace, something that should have been impossible.]]
** Then, when [[spoiler:when Trina tries to stop Laura, Ginger decks her out of the blue.]]
* BlondesAreEvil: Mistress Butterfly [[spoiler:though eventually subverted when she's revealed to naturally have black hair]]. Averted outright with Laura.
* BloodFromTheMouth: [[spoiler:The Judiciatrix and Ginger]] after their defeat by Butterfly.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: The Atlantean philosophies seem to have left the people in this world with a very different system of morality than we have in this world, specifically giving much greater autonomy in terms of what people can and can't consent to. For instance, slave contracts (purely symbolic in real-world BDSM) seem to give actual legal authority over the "slave" to the "owner," even to the point of allowing the owner to bet the slave (although this is clearly seen as something of an abuse of power).

As one of the Nine Head Mistresses of the Association that controls the North America, [[ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem she admittedly ''makes'' the laws there. ]]
* BoundAndGagged: Well, duh.
* BrainsAndBondage: The aforementioned two months where the characters ponder their relations and implications.
* BreakTheCutie: Sort of done with Laura, although she volunteered for a BDSM relationship, and the experience leaves her far more mature.
** A more serious, and VERY, disturbing example is Trina in strip #121.
** [[spoiler: After being captured by Buterfly's minions]] Laura is put through another serious example at the hands of Evita Kappel. (strip 255#)
* BrickJoke: Gary, [[http://collar6.com/archive/collar-6-6 a guy who hit on Laura in the 6th strip]], shows up again [[http://collar6.com/2010/collar-6-180 176 STRIPS LATER!!!]]
* BrokenFaceplate: [[spoiler:The Judiciatrix.]]
* BondageIsBad: Subverted and played straight, since pretty much everyone is into it.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Sixx is the owner of an incredibly successful chain of hotels even with her unconventional (by real world standards) habits.
* CallBack: In case you are wondering what Sixx meant in strip 146, [[spoiler:it refers to that one time when she thought Laura used her misguided anger at Ginger to shield herself from the pain of the spanking Sixx gave to her: apparently, it wasn't ''just'' anger that protected her]].
* CallForward: [[spoiler:The [[http://collar6.com/archive/collar-6-215 Mr.]] Black]] that helped Laura is [[spoiler:Michael Kappel!]]
* [[CallingTheOldManOut Calling the Old Woman Out]]: [[http://collar6.com/2011/collar-6-243 Sixx would like to have a word with her mother.]]
* CannotSpitItOut: [[SafeWord Halo]]!
* CasualKink: Well, it's that kind of world.
* CerebusRollercoaster: Sort of. The series started out with gags, then had everyone sit down and spend two months of real time talking about their relationship problems and after that just sort of alternated between silly and serious as called for.
* ChainedByFashion: Not many actual chains, but several characters wear clothing which is padlocked on.
* CharacterLevel[=/=]RolePlayingGameVerse: Apparently the Association does this, but Laura just [[LampshadeHanging says "What is this, a videogame?"]]
* CheekyMouth
* TheChewToy: Laura ... and she wants it that way.
** Also Gary, who thinks being hit in the face by a hot chick with an iron paddle is the best thing ever.
* CleavageWindow: Part of Butterfly's outfit.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Laura when she sees that Sixx already has a hot slavegirl at home. (The same can be said of said hot slavegirl, Ginger). Becomes much more sympathetic when we learn that [[spoiler:Laura escaped from a world where the rich and powerful all collect ''huge'' harems.]]
* ColdBloodedTorture
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: All the women wear latex, but the colors are mostly unique.
* CombinedEnergyAttack: [[http://collar6.com/2010/collar-6-129 This strip]].
* CompressedHair: See Sixx's hair in the page image? When down in a ponytail, it reaches at least to the back of her knees.
* ConvenientlyCommonKink: The ''whole '''planet''''' is run by BDSM organizations.
* CookingDuel: A spanking contest.
* CooldownHug: Well, kinda. Laura administers a hug to Sixx [[spoiler:to help her overcome the Butterfly's Mind Breaker effects]]. Since it takes place in Subspace, it may also count as a MindHug.
* CrazyPrepared: Butterfly arrives at the spanking contest with a DangerousForbiddenTechnique designed to break Sixx (even though she didn't know she'd be facing Sixx in the spanking contest) and a smoke bomb for a quick escape.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Laura. Oh, so very much Laura.
* CultureEqualsCostume: In Sixx's {{Exposition}} of world history to Laura, the (North American) Global Dominance Association is represented by a blond girl in jeans, the Mesoamerican Union by a girl in a flouncy flamenco dress, the (European) Enlightenment Alliance by a girl in Hellenistic-revival getup, the (Russian) People's Republic of Restriction by a girl in a Soviet-style uniform, and China by a girl in a {{Qipao}}.
** Did someone say "FetishFuel"?
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Ginger.
* DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou: Michelle's parents, at least as far as her mother seems to think. [[spoiler:Her father was killed by an anti-Atlantean faction, and her mother became a government phantom to protect the world she wanted her daughter to grow up in]].
* DearNegativeReader, You're Absolutely Right.
** Interestingly, he's now changed his mind about that, feeling that he betrayed his original vision by conceding this point, and how now said that he's going back to just making the world pure fantasy.
* DecompressedComic: Generally uses about three or four widescreen panels to a strip, so entire weeks can be focused on establishing setting.
* {{Determinator}}: Laura, at least while Ginger is watching.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Whatever Sixx has done to Butterfly, it can't possibly merit everything the woman has done so far in her attempt to destroy Sixx's life.
* DressedAllInRubber. And latex. And PVC. And leather. And fishnet. And...
* {{Dominatrix}}: A fairly common job title in this setting.
* DontTryThisAtHome: The comic has warnings that this is a fantasy world, not a guide on BDSM safety.
* DumbBlonde: Laura, to a degree. [[spoiler: Justified and Explained as being due to her running away from her world's version of the Iraq boonies to live in the US.]]
* ElementalPowers: Butterfly has employed them and WordOfGod has confirmed that it is NOT the crop making the flames, but instead a manifestation of the Dominant Spirit, since ElementalPowers in the [[TheVerse Collar6Verse]] take the form of Dominant or Submissive energy, based on sexuality as a measurable force.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Mistress Butterfly's personal slaves adore her and she seems to love them genuinely.
* [[EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry Everything's Sparkly With Jewelry]]: Laura's personal slave collar has a band of real gold. Ginger's looks similar but is green.
* TheFaceless: The Judiciatrix seen in the comic wears a face shield with only a single red eye visible [[spoiler:until it breaks.]]
* FantasyGunControl: Due to the world having achieved [[VideoGame/MegaMan everlasting peace]], all guns have been banned from public use since the 1900s.
* FieryRedhead: Sixx. Her surname also heavily implies that she's Irish.
* FillerStrips: For Wolf's 1-week hiatus, done by [[http://pride-kun.deviantart.com Pride-kun.]]
* FlatWhat: Sixx tries to break in her new slave with some heavy duty spanking. [[http://collar6.com/archive/collar-6-36 Her riding crop breaks]].
* FreeLoveFuture: The setting of the comic, with the exception of some "Puritan" Territories. The Atlantean philosophies directly influenced sexuality during the renaissance, resulting in sexuality losing almost all taboo in the setting.
** For varying definitions of "Puritan" -- Laura's colony, for example, [[spoiler:was " male centric " Which means her father had '''70''' wives, was implied to be at the very least somewhat emotionally distant (and possibly abusive, given how he looks like a fairly stereotypical Shonen manga villain), and she had ''at least'' 30 full sisters. Given this data, along with the silhouette of her father with all the women chained to him, alongside the defeated look on her mother's face, it's not a stretch to suggest they weren't submissive because that's where they got their dominant and submissive energy from, but because women on her island didn't have equal rights.]] "Puritan" is more of a derogatory term for anyone rejecting the the Atlantean philosophies.
* GenderRarityValue: Sybion and its God-Men.
* GeniusBruiser: Sixx. She has an encyclopedic knowledge of several obscure topics, manages a hotel chain, and can knock grown men off their feet.
* [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan Get A Hold Of Yourself, Mistress]]
* GirlOnGirlIsHot: In universe, Anya's former master certainly thought so. [[spoiler:When Anya refused to fuck her own sister they contracted her out to be brainwashed]].
* GoodColorsEvilColors: Done to a degree with different colors of latex. Notably, yellow seems to be evil (although we've only seen one "evil" character so far).
* GoThroughMe: Both Ginger and Laura for Sixx.
* GreeneyedRedhead: Mistress Sixx.
* GunshipRescue: [[spoiler:Saves ''Butterfly'' in strip #275. And it's epic.]]
* HairColors: We've had blonde, black, red, blue, purple and green.
* HairOfGold: Laura may be naive, but she has a pure heart.
* HappinessInSlavery: Basically every slave other than Trina. [[spoiler:Actually, it turns out Trina too.]]
* HeirClubForMen: The island of Sybion, with the expected blaming of the women who fail to produce a male child.
* HiddenEyes: Several characters, particularly Trina.
* IHaveYourWife: [[spoiler:How Butterfly is blackmailing Sixx into telling her about Michael Kappel, using Laura as a hostage.]]
** And [[spoiler:it seems Butterfly herself, aka Evita Kappel, is doing all of this [[http://collar6.com/2011/collar-6-241 to get her husband back]].]]
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Ginger's feelings towards Sixx, though she turns out to be NotSoStoic.
** Brutally subverted by [[spoiler: Trina, who has apparently convinced herself that Sixx would be happiest as Butterfly's slave.]]
* ImprobablyFemaleCast: It was November 2010 before a named male character appeared in the comic. When [[http://collar6.com/2010/collar-6-180 five of them]] finally appeared, they turned out to be the members of a Voyeur Club who amuse themselves by [[AllMenArePerverts ogling Mistresses and slaves]]. Later, Buttefly's third slave is revealed to a man named Gunther who has a major role in [[spoiler:breaking into the complex holding Michael Kappel]] and Nora O'Carroll's partner in [[spoiler:the Phantoms]] is a man named Cypress.
** [[http://collar6.com/archive/owned-1 "Owned"]] revolves around an unnamed male [[WhatDidIDoLastNight waking up]] to discover that he [[BedmateReveal accidentally got "married" to a domme]]. Further playing with the formula, she's just as inexperienced as he is.
* IncestIsRelative: One character's backstory is that her master wanted to see her and her sister... together. When she refused, she was handed over to the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Order of Denial]].
* IncrediblyLamePun: [[http://collar6.com/2010/collar-6-134 Subspace]], a term commonly used in BDSM circles.
* InfoDump: Starting at strip 186 and still ongoing. We discover that there's a mystical power to make submissive energy take physical form [[spoiler: which Sixx just confirmed that Laura has]], that Sixx intentionally kept Laura as a WideEyedIdealist by hiding the full extent of BDSM relationships and the world they live in to her. Sixx admits to screwing up by agreeing to the spank-off in the heat of the moment. The Paixo Raiz is a herb that creates a perfect energy link between sub and dominant, which Sixx used to create the bond before the spank-off, where should would normally have waited until the bond came to be through normal means.
* ItsNotRapeIfYouEnjoyedIt: A somewhat debatable case. Laura was already in a submissive role where she'd been given consent for sex, however she didn't know about the drugs, and so this was more a case of a lack of communication between dom and sub than a true rape. (Also of note, there was no sex involved, only intimate touching.)
* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: Used by [[spoiler: Michelle]] on a captive to gain an advantage in the spank-off.
* {{Jerkass}}: '''Butterfly'''
* KiAttacks: Dominant and submissive spirits, which can only protect against other KiAttacks. [[spoiler: Except for Laura, whose Submissive Spirit manifests as a physical shield when she's upset.]]
* KingIncognito: Sixx hasn't told many people about her wealth so as not to come across as a [[RichBitch spoiled rich woman]].
-->'''Laura''': But... I thought you said you worked in a hotel? How can you afford this?!
-->'''Sixx''': I said I worked ''in the hotel business''. [[FromACertainPointOfView By which I meant I own a few...hundred.]]
* LegacyCharacter: Apparently, the title of Mistress Sixx, which was previously held by Michelle's mother.
* LoopholeAbuse: How Sixx plans to win the bet. [[spoiler: Sixx, aka Michelle, surrendered her title as Mistress Sixx to Laura, then became Laura's slave so that ''she'' will face the spanking. All of her debts and agreements transferred to Laura.]] Mistress Butterfly, who had never realized this was a possibility, was stunned.
** Subverted in the same event, since Sixx had taken Ginger as a second personal slave. Both Butterfly and the audience expected Sixx to exploit ''that'' loophole -- the audience because we've seen it; Butterfly because she had bugged Sixx's house.
* LostHimInACardGame: Sixx and Butterfly's wager. If Sixx wins, Butterfly surrenders Trina; if Butterfly wins, Sixx surrenders herself to Butterfly.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: Appears to have happened with [[spoiler: Trina]].
* MasterOfDisguise: Evita Kappel. Looking at her in strip #254 its almost impossible to tell that's [[spoiler: Mistress Butterfly]]
* {{Meido}}[=/=]FrenchMaid: First Ginger, now Stella and Claire.
* MindControlEyes: [[spoiler: Laura]] while under Butterfly's control.
* MotherRussiaMakesYouStrong: Strip 160 reveals that [[spoiler:Michelle's superhuman {{Ninja Maid}}s]] served a Russian tsar before. Obviously. It's also stated that even Russian subs tend to have a bit of a dominant streak.
* MundaneMadeAwesome: Spanking Contest!!!!
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When Sixx realized [[spoiler: that she’d been pitting Laura and Ginger against each other, and was wrong to have done so much to Laura without getting her informed consent first]].
** Retconned... sorta. [[spoiler: It was an intentional (and admittedly poorly thought out) attempt at Sixx to test Laura for a mythological super-submissive power. When Laura appeared to not have it, Sixx regretted having done it. Turns out Laura did have it after all, but it's a shield, not SuperStrength, and the test failed due to Laura not getting [[strike:physically attacked]] spanked at the time.]] She does it later by forcing Laura into a bout of BDSM-meets-Exhibitionism in front of a gaggle of perverted losers in the park... the same ones from the first few pages of the comic.
* MysteriousPast: All the characters to an extent (the author milked the fact that we didn't know that much about their past to create suspicion that there might be a traitor), now being fully played up with [[spoiler: Butterfly]], who as it turns out [[spoiler: has only been in the association for a year, Michelle has no idea who she is, and for some reason wants revenge against Michelle]].
** [[spoiler: Laura]] has this too. Only it's even more so than before -- [[spoiler: Laura has nearly no official history, and is openly unable to explain where she grew up, even what country she lived in before moving to the BDSM dominated area.]] Later on, it's [[BrokenBird covered]], and [[AbusiveParents explained]]. Laura lived in a "Puritan Territory" called Sybion north of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azores the Azores]] (literally the middle of nowhere). [[spoiler: Unfortunately, unlike what Puritan means in our world, Puritan in the Collar 6 world merely means someone who ignores or rejects the Atlantian teachings -- and in this case, it ''also'' appears to mean they ignore the ''consensual'' part of the BDSM lifestyle.]]
* NinjaMaid: Sixx's new maids are perfectly capable of apprehending a trained intelligence agent. Ginger knows how to [[http://collar6.com/2010/collar-6-143 throw a punch, too]].
* NotBrainwashed: Trina claims she took Butterfly's collar willingly. That is to say, [[spoiler:Butterfly found out Trina has a PrimalFear of sharp object and uses this to break her in.]] So possibly more fear than actual brainwashing.
* NotInTheFace: [[http://collar6.com/2010/collar-6-171 Word for word]]. One of the rare cases where the character ends up NOT getting hit in the face.
* NotSoDifferent: Up until the end of the spank-off competition, one common fan observation was that Sixx and Butterfly weren't that different, going as far as to be the designated hero and villain respectively. Sixx's positive character development and Butterfly's becoming much more of a monster changed that, and when [[http://collar6.com/2010/collar-6-191 Sixx herself questions it,]] Laura slaps her and [[http://collar6.com/2010/collar-6-192 verbally chews her out for it.]]
* NotSoHarmless: Butterfly in spades! Compare her early appearances where she seemed simply bitchy to the sheer HighOctaneNightmareFuel she becomes.
* NoWomansLand: [[spoiler:Sybion of the Puritan Territories, which among other things has the MaritalRapeLicense as the norm.]]
* NunTooHoly: The Order of Denial, which, amongst other things [[spoiler: were professional torture technicians, brainwashers, and nonconsensual slavers.]]
* OffModel: The unnamed female protagonist of ''Owned'', who looked like a Dragonball Z villain the first page or two, but has since smoothed out to a fairly cute look. It helps that the main male protagonist isn't putting his foot in his mouth anymore, and thus she doesn't have [[{{Tsundere}} reason to go off on him]].
* OhCrap: Trina after Sixx pulls a switcheroo at the spanking context, and pretty much everyone (except Laura) who is unfortunate to go up against Butterfly afterward.
** [[http://collar6.com/2011/collar-6-275 Gingers reaction]] when [[spoiler: Butterfly summons a whole lot of armed backup,]] And again when [[spoiler: she finds herself [[http://collar6.com/2011/collar-6-293 forcibly pushed into subspace.]]]]
** [[http://collar6.com/archive/collar-6-316 Alice]] and [[http://collar6.com/archive/collar-6-317 Anya's]] reaction when [[spoiler: Sixx's maid shows up, to take her mistress home.]]
* OneWayVisor: The Judicatrix
* ParalyzingFearOfSexuality: The unnamed male character in ''Owned,'' who always wanted to enter a submissive relationship but was always too scared of the [[RealMenWearPink implications]] to do so. He opened up to a dominant woman[[hottip:*:who it is implied he knows or lives in the same building as]], who enters into a slave contract with him. Unfortunately, immediately afterwards he walks into a metal bar, causing him to [[LaserGuidedAmnesia forget the entire evening.]] It's then shown on page 4 that she's NotSoDifferent -- he's her first submissive, too.
* PetTheDog: Butterfly may be a horrible bitch, but [[http://collar6.com/2011/collar-6-265 her two rescued slave girls love her]].
* PlanetOfHats: BDSM is the main theme of the planet.
* PlayingWithFire: Butterfly. Surprisingly a villain example who is not a PyroManiac.
* PottyEmergency: Conversed in [[http://collar6.com/2010/archive/collar-6-84 Strip 84]].
--> '''Butterfly''': How long have you been immobilized now, slut?
--> '''Trina''': Twelve hours, mistress.
--> '''Butterfly''': Oh my, I bet you're just dying to have a stretch. [...] I hope you didn't have a lot of water beforehand, either.
* PrehensileHair: The Judiciatrix's metal ponytail.
* PropertyOfLove: ...virtually all tropes related to BDSM at any level apply to this comic, let's just leave it at that.
* PsychoactivePowers: Laura's shield technique seems to work only when she's angry.
* RankInflation: According to strip 157, the Association ranks the Mistresses by their power. Butterfly was originally believed to be grade D, but recent strips revealed her being well over S.
* TheRival: Laura/Ginger, Sixx/Butterfly.
* {{Whatevermancy}}: Rubbermancy
* SafeWord: "Halo" for Laura and "ginger ale" for Ginger. Sixx, aka Michelle, has one, but we don't know it yet. In a GuestStrip "Red" was used by a girl [[ArtShift who may or may not be Trina]], but ignored by Butterfly (who was clearly identified by her insignia).
* ScarsAreForever: Alice has a wicked set of scars (strip #306) on her back, from her time being held by [[NunTooHoly The Order of Denial]]. Anya has them as well, though hers are a bit... lower down (strip #325).
* ScheduleSlip: Not a huge amount, but a bit.
* {{Seme}}[=/=]{{Uke}}: Discussed in terms of dominant and submissive spirits, but it's also acknowledged (#202) that no one is completely one or the other, and the real life concept of switches is discussed.
* SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains: Subverted.
* SeriesHiatus: The author took a week off after completing his 100th strip.
* SeriousBusiness: The Association is apparently just a BDSM society, but it employs masked Judiciatrices, enforcers described as "very lethal to trouble-makers" with no sense of hyperbole -- and with super powers. Justified since the enforcers aren't the only ones with powers and there are people who have powers based on whether they are masochists or sadists (or both). In other words: MASOCHISTS AND SADISTS WITH SUPERPOWERS. Without regulation, that's a recipe for super-villainy. Even with regulation, there are certain individuals who end up going that way anyways.
** Strip #204 revealed that "the Association" is the North American ''government''.
* ShockAndAwe: [[spoiler: Ginger]] has a secret fetish for shockplay. [[spoiler: Butterfly uses this to forcibly send her to subspace]]
* ShoutOut:
** Judiciatricies look a lot like [[HalfLife Elite Combine]].
** There are [[{{Pokemon}} Pokémon Centers]] with a BDSM logo instead of a Pokeball.
** the pistol to Butterfly's head looks an awful lot like [[{{Warhammer40000}} a bolter]].
* [[BrotherSisterIncest Sister-Sister Incest]]: [[http://collar6.com/2011/collar-6-263 Attempted, but ultimately averted.]]
* SlasherSmile: Butterfly throws some very scary ones after showing her true colours.
* SlaveCollar: Nearly everyone wears collars, whether for fetish or fashion. The collar of a personal slave is considered the mark of a permanent commitment, like a wedding ring.
* SmokeOut: [[http://collar6.com/2010/collar-6-172 Lampshaded]]
* StealthPun: North America is home to the "Global Dominance Association". Think about it for a second.
* SpankTheCutie: It's a webcomic about S&M, what exactly did you expect?
* SpiritualSuccessor: To Wolf's previous comic, [[OrphanedSeries Crimson Latex]]. The two share some characters, but continuity was completely rebooted, and the style is very different. Furthermore, the personalities were far different, with Stella (called "Stellvia") showing a personality [[TheRival much more like Ginger's]] (Ginger not yet existing), Claire (called Eclair) seeming to hate Stella, and Laura not being nearly as freaked out [[TooKinkyToTorture by the extremes of her new life]].
* StockholmSyndrome: [[spoiler: Trina.]] [[MoreThanMindControl Or is it?]]
* StealthPun: "Brace yourselves, slaves."
* StripBuffer: Wolfe was working without one, but has recently gotten ahead.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Michelle and [[http://collar6.com/2011/collar-6-238 her mother]].
* SuperDeformed: Frequent, sometimes giving hints at characterization -- for example, the mistress in Owned looks downright evil... until you see her Chibi form, which is fairly [[GenericCuteness attractive]].
* TakeAThirdOption: [[spoiler: Instead of sending Laura or Ginger into the spanking contest, Sixx sent HERSELF!!!]]
* TakeThat: Sixx sums up Laura's description of Sybion's religion and culture as, "Yep, that sounds like a [[spoiler:[[ChristianityIsCatholic male-oriented religious society]]]] alright..."
* TimeSkip: It was more or less a necessity. The first year worth of strips took up a single day, and the contest was three weeks off. So, we got a TrainingMontage.
* {{Torture Technician}}s: The Order of Denial, an isolated monastic quasi-religious order which believes that pain is worship. They make money by [[ColdBloodedTorture breaking]] disobedient slaves of unwanted habits and behaviors.
* TrainingFromHell: Well, being trained in pain tolerance is pretty much always going to fall under this category.
* {{Transsexual}}: Alice, one of Evita Kappel's slaves. Laura's reaction to [[http://collar6.com/2011/collar-6-264 finding out]] is pure CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming.
* TrainingMontage: Timeskipping to the spanking contest.
* TrueCompanions: Laura, Ginger, and Sixx, after an initial period of suspicion.
* {{Unobtainium}}: Paixao riaz, a fictional and strangely powerful drug which may be plot critical and is incredibly rare.
* UnreliableNarrator: Trina and Butterfly have given mutually exclusive versions of events leading up to the spanking contest. WordOfGod has confirmed that [[spoiler:that both stories were correct: Trina did take Butterfly's collar willingly, but Butterfly broke her with torture nonetheless, just because she is a bitch like that]].
* UnsettlingGenderReveal: Refreshingly subverted when [[http://collar6.com/archive/collar-6-264 Laura finds out that Alice is a transwoman]], and instead of it being played for laughs or for shock value Laura affirms Alice's identity as a woman.
* VagueAge: The entire cast.
* VillainsOutShopping: Well, Mistress out taking her slave for a walk.
* WebcomicTime: The five minutes of the spanking contest took several months of real time. The forum goers humorously compared the timespan to that of [[DragonBall the destruction of Planet Namek.]] Even the author joked about having Frieza cameo as a form of LampshadeHanging.
* WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises: Often, usually to indicate surprise, fear, or as part of your run-of-the-mill FaceFault. When paired with [[GlowingEyesOfDoom glowing eyes]], these indicate a character going into Subspace or otherwise manifesting the Submissive Spirit.
** The "abject horror" version appears in [[http://collar6.com/2011/collar-6-210 #210]], when Sixx realizes just ''what'' kind of home life Laura experienced in the "Puritan territory" she grew up in.
* TheWikiRule: [[http://collar6.wikia.com/ Check.]]
* WorfEffect: [[spoiler:Judicatrix seems to have been introduced as an implacable enforcer for the Association exclusively for the purpose of being beaten by Butterfly, showing off the latter's strength.]]
** Happens again to [[spoiler:Madame Crimson Whip]], [[http://collar6.com/archive/collar-6-353 who brings this up and justifies it]].
* WorthyOpponent: Laura and Ginger early on. They since seem to have melded together with Sixx into TrueCompanions.
* WreckedWeapon: If a crop is a weapon.
** Happens again when [[spoiler: Butterfly attempts to hit Sixx while she is channeling Laura's submissive aura]], and it [[http://collar6.com/2010/collar-6-182 seems to be Laura's special ability]].
* WritingForTheTrade: The strips are very short, and even with the fairly regular schedule, it can get a bit frustrating waiting (the author has a dayjob). Reading them marathon-style, though, is a lot of fun.
** The author posted in October 2010 that the length of the "spanking contest" arc had made him realize he needed to work on his pacing.
* XMeetsY: WordOfGod says it's meant to be "Shonen Manga" (Bleach, Naruto, DragonBall, etc) meets BDSM fetishdom.
* YouFailBiologyForever: Set up in-world -- on Sybion, it is assumed to be the woman's fault if she does not produce a male child, even though only the man can contribute the Y-chromosome necessary to make this happen. This is deliberate, since on Sybion men are held to be [[DoubleStandard above reproach]].
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Blonde, Red, Black, Blue, Purple, and Green.
* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: Strip #148.
