6 | ''[[http://sarab.co/ Sarab]], the interactive webcomic'' is a sci-fi webcomic which takes place [[InAWorld in a world]] called Thalamus where humans [[GreenAesop almost destroyed nature]] with their [[ScienceIsBad irresponsible use of technology]]. To prevent this from [[DisasterMovie happening again]] and possibly for [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt the last time]], the survivors restrict knowledge to a [[KeeperOfForbiddenKnowledge select few]] who are tasked with using it to help nature recover. |
7 | |
8 | [[TheChosenOne These people]] are recruited at a young age and are moved to academies, called "Hubs" to be taught the sciences. The Hubs also serve as [[WeatherControlMachine control stations that manage the weather and other natural powers]] to maintain a livable ecosystem. |
9 | |
10 | The rest of the population has no access to scientific knowledge and have [[{{Arcadia}} reverted instead to agriculture as a means of living]] and the arts for entertainment. Sarab, the eponymous [[TheProtagonist protagonist]] is an indecisive [[ScholarshipStudent student]] at the Hub of Caldaia. |
11 | |
12 | The [[{{Tagline}} tagline]] at the top of this page is the interactive component to the comic. At the end of each page, a problem and two possible solutions are laid out. The audience then votes via poll on which solution Sarab should use. After a few days the poll is closed and the page is produced, then the cycle starts all over again. |

15 | !! This webcomic provides examples of: |
16 | * {{Arcadia}}: Most of the world is implied to be this. |

22 | * ElementalPowers: Bio Manipulation. Seen so far are [[BlowYouAway Wind]] and [[GreenThumb Nature]]. |

24 | * {{Fanservice}}: The story ''is'' semi-controlled by the readers... |
25 | * GaiasLament: Thalamus is almost this, the humans are trying to help it recover. |
26 | * GreenAesop |
27 | * HandBlast: The mysterious girl Sarab fights in the beginning has [[http://sarab.co/pages/chapter-01-changes/page-02-girls/ a gauntlet]] that can fire these. [[spoiler:Sarab gets it after he kills her(they are revealed to be playing a video game).]] |
28 | * HighPressureBlood: Accompanied by a [[UnsoundEffect "Spurt"]], [[http://sarab.co/pages/chapter-01-changes/page-06-fatality/ here]]. |
29 | * {{Jerkass}}: Patrik. |
