->''"In which six teens discover some unknowns should be left that way."''
-->--Description of ''First Contact''

''First Contact'' is an ongoing [[Webcomic/MSPaintAdventures MS Paint Fanventure]] created by Pavizi on January 3, 2017. The story follows [[UnlikelyHero six teenagers]], complete strangers to each other, who find themselves on an alien planet far from home for reasons unknown. What awaits them in the vast unknowns of space, and what powers could've brought them to this situation?

The link to ''First Contact'' can be found [[https://mspfa.com/?s=18418&p=1 here.]] The story accepts commands from the comments or the creator's [[http://pavizi.tumblr.com/submit Tumblr.]]

Not to be confused with [[FirstContact the trope of the same name.]]

'''This page contains some heavy marked spoilers. You have been warned.'''
!!This webcomic contains examples of:
* AllLowercaseLetters: Adam and Uriel speak this way.
* AllThereInTheManual: The creator has a tag for ''First Contact''-related art not included in the comic on their Tumblr.
* AmbiguousGender: Sisera has been [[WordOfGod described as]] [[http://firstcontact.wikia.com/wiki/Sisera_Haruko genderfluid.]]
* ArtEvolution: Even in the span of just one year, the comic's art improves ''greatly''--you can easily see the improvement from the first few panels to the most recent ones.
* BigCreepyCrawlies: The deer aliens' planet has these.
* CastOfSnowflakes: Any background alien in the comic that is close enough to have their features discerned has a unique design and associated color.
* ColorCodedCharacters: The space teens, as well as the background aliens, are given colors in their designs and dialogue. This also plays into the teens' thematic associations.
* ColorCodedElements:[[spoiler:Each teen has an elemental association shown through their colors, and said elements reflect their personalities, appearances, and the teen that they are paired with thematically.]]
**[[spoiler:Uriel (orange) represents Fire.]]
**[[spoiler:Morgan (blue) represents Water.]]
**[[spoiler:Adam (green) represents Nature/Earth.]]
**[[spoiler:Isaiah (yellow) represents Storms/Electricity.]]
**[[spoiler:Sisera (pink) represents Sunshine/Light.]]
**[[spoiler:Lucas (gray) represents Moonlight/Shadows.]]
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: The comic's art is done entirely this way, the exceptions being the characters' colors on their designs and the various banners, flags, and tapestries hung by the alien deer.
* ExposedExtraterrestrials: Some of the deer alien designs have no pants or, in at least one case, no clothes whatsoever--the aliens ''are'' nudist hippies.
* FearlessFool: Sisera throws themselves out a window and breaks their nose with a can of spraypaint after being told to smash the window for light. They don't care, though; [[WorthIt the pain's worth it.]]
* FirstContact
* FriendToBugs: All of the deer aliens' wildlife are shown as gigantic bugs.
** After Isaiah [[spoiler:knocks out one of said aliens who tried to attack Adam, she takes the alien's centipede with them.]]
** Adam [[spoiler:later calls on the same centipede in battle.]]
* InHarmonyWithNature: Adam, in addition to being a NatureLover, is shown to be able to control the centipede soon after meeting it by whistling.
* IntelligentGerbil: The first alien race is based off earthly deer, goats, sheep, and similar such animals.
* InteractiveComic
* OntologicalMystery: It's not explained why the space teens are in space or how they got here, and they don't seem to know, either.
* RotatingArcs: The perspective switches from one teenager (or several) to another multiple times before they all end up grouping together.
* RunningGag: Uriel attempting to lick any stranger he sees.
* SpaceElves: The first alien race shown in the story are [[InnocentAliens pacifistic,]] [[NatureLover nature-loving,]] sometimes [[{{Elfeminate}} gender-ambiguous]] flower children that resemble goats and deer living in a TreeTopTown.
* TapOnTheHead: Lucas is knocked out by a surprised deer wielding a chair, and wakes up some minutes later in front of Morgan.
* TheLostWoods: The deer aliens' [[SingleBiomePlanet entire planet consists of massive trees]]--the aliens themselves make [[TreeTopTown treehouses]] near the canopies because of how dark and ominous the ground level is, with the trees' leaves shielding the bottom from sunlight.
-->''These trees, though, put redwoods to shame. It's actually kind of hard to see the top of them.''
* TheNineties: [[spoiler:WordOfGod states that the story takes place in 1999, near the TurnOfTheMillennium. This is shown in subtle ways, such as Uriel's and Isaiah's phones, but otherwise, this detail wouldn't be obvious while they're all in space.]]
* TheSpeechless: Isaiah is completely mute. She has been shown to [[https://mspfa.com/?s=18418&p=108 gesture]], but otherwise, she hasn't said anything to the other teens.
* TheUnintelligible: All of the deer aliens speak in a language that can't be understood by reader or teenager alike. Uriel tries to imitate one of them, but the outcome is [[ForeignCussWord implicitly pretty offensive.]]
* ThemeNaming: All of the space teens are named after biblical references with their names having some [[MeaningfulName significance to their associations]], such as Uriel being named after the archangel with a flaming sword, Morgan's name meaning "sea warrior" and named after the Morgan Bible, etc.
