Dewicked trope


* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: You see all the slightly blurred characters in the background, at school, for example? They're all named, with their own backstory and relationships.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Trope has been disambiguated.


* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: A few characters, like Evan, explicitly dye their hair. Liam, on the other hand, has purple hair and eyebrows, so it's anyone's guess.



Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Asexuality is now a disambiguation page. This could go under Word Of Gay on the Trivia page.


* {{Asexual}}: According to WordOfGod, a few characters are, such as Ashley, Missy, or Toby.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Trope deprecated per TRS


* {{Transgender}}: When she was still human, Gretyl was a transexual woman. She chose to possess a female body, though, so it's questionable if she counts any more.

* BiTheWay: According to WordOfGod, Annie, Zach and Abigail's mother.

to:

* BigBrotherInstinct: Zach considers Abigail his sister, although he's a demon. He displays this attitude against Reginald in particular.
* BiTheWay: According to WordOfGod, Annie, Zach Annie (Zach and Abigail's mother.mother).


Added DiffLines:

* CastOfSnowflakes: The art style is very colorful and uses a lot of different shapes. Although there are a lot of them, no two characters are identical, though some share a StrongFamilyResemblance.


Added DiffLines:

* CuteLittleFangs: Zach, though it overlaps with FangsAreEvil due to his demonic nature.


Added DiffLines:

* FangsAreEvil: Zach oscillates between this trope and CuteLittleFangs.


Added DiffLines:

* InvoluntaryShapeshifter: Zach, on occasion. Unfortunately for him, it's about as painful as getting hit by a truck.


Added DiffLines:

* KillAndReplace: What the demon trio did, and what they set up the humans they help for.

Added DiffLines:

* PartialTransformation: Both Gretyl and Zach have been shown doing this.


Added DiffLines:

* ResurrectiveImmortality: Dead humans in Purgatory have this. Demons too, but they lose their memories every time they die and "reset".


Added DiffLines:

* TranshumanTreachery: Gretyl was human once. She seems to have fully embraced [[DemonOfHumanOrigin being a demon]] and shows absolutely no guilt when killing them. To be fair, she had over [[Really700YearsOld 2000 years]] to get used to it.


Added DiffLines:

* VillainProtagonist: The story mainly follows a body-trafficking demon who doesn't mind killing people to do his job and [[DeadPersonImpersonation infiltrated a random teenager's family]] by [[DemonicPossession taking over his body]], [[KillAndReplace killing him as well.]]
** It's {{downplayed}}, however, and may even end up {{subverted}}: he's [[HiddenDepths gradually shown]] to be more of a JerkWithAHeartOfGold with a [[AntiHero questionable moral compass]] than an outright {{Villain}}.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Demons can do that when possessing humans, apparently. It's unknown if it's limited to PartialTransformation.

-->'''Reginald''': Speaking of which, where is your sister?
-->'''Zach''': ''*{{beat}}*'' Don't have one.
* CreepyChild: [[spoiler: Toby is a young half-demon with unsettling powers.]] He is considered an abomination by pretty much everyone who knows what he is, including his own parents. On top of this, the way they ([[ParentalNeglect failed to]]) raise him makes it extremely hard for him to behave in a socially appropriate manner.

-----------------
Demon body-snatches Nebraska boy: Ruins everything.

Zach and his two other demon buddies came to earth to steal bodies and sell them to the miserable people stuck in purgatory while Lucifer isn't looking, because nobody has any idea where he went.
The gates of hell are closed, the poor people trapped in between just want to go back to earth. For the reasonable price of your eternal soul, they can make that happen! If their manager can get them to pay attention long enough.

!! This webcomic provides examples of:

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Robbie to Gretyl. She only tolerates him because she can use him as an excuse to see his mother, who is... truer to her taste.
* BarredFromTheAfterlife: The gates of Hell are closed, so everyone who was headed there is stuck in Purgatory.
* Demonic Possession: Ashley, Gretyl, and Zach. Their demon names are respectively Gello, Gremmory and Gamigin, but they took over the human identities and therefore go by their names.
* DemonOfHumanOrigin: It happens. Gretyl used to be a human, Zach and Ashley were born as demons.
* DirtyOldWoman: Gretyl. She's "older than Jesus".
* TheInsomniac: Several characters, though Jamie in particular.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Zach. He remorselessly kills people, but has to sit down when the amount of time [[TheWoobie Annie]] has been married to [[DomesticAbuser Father Arlyn]] sinks in.
* MeetCute: Jamie bumps into Zach in the middle of the night, and has to rescue him from [[NoodleIncident being stuck up in a collapsed tree house]].
* MissingMom: [[spoiler Jamie's]] mother is dead.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: The angels were inspired by by real biblical angels. The names aren't made up, and some characteristics were conserved in the comic.
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: The demons were also inspired by real biblical demons. The names aren't made up, and some characteristics were conserved in the comic.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: One of the teachers is a vampire. He can't turn into a bat, though.
* ParentalNeglect: [[spoiler Jamie's]] dad sometime knocks on his door to make sure he hasn't killed himself. He gives him a lot of pocket money. That is pretty much all.
* Really700YearsOld: Gretyl, who is over 2000 years old. To a lesser extent the other demons are implied to be this as well.
* RescuedFromTheUnderworld: What the demons are doing for the humans in Purgatory. Not for free, though.
* {{Transsexual}}: When she was still human, Gretyl was a transexual woman. She chose to possess a female body, though, so she's now cisgendered.
* SurroundedByIdiots: Ashley feels this way towards Gretyl and Zach. It's {{lampshaded}} in the very first chapter.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: A few characters, like Evan, explicitly dye their hair. Liam, on the other hand, has purple hair and eyebrows, so it's anyone's guess.
