18 | !!Tropes: |
19 | |
20 | * AncientGrome: Serenthia looks very like this. Subverted in practice: it's politically similar to Renaissance Venice. |
21 | * AntiMagic: Vask is a "nullhawk"- a sunbird variant that extinguishes fire and magic rather than creating it. |
22 | * BondCreatures: Icaros are humans bonded to telepathic birds of prey. |
23 | * GuysSmashGirlsShoot: Subverted. Andraz is a large man who shoots a crossbow, Salva is a tiny woman who prefers ''axe fighting''. |
24 | * DeadpanSnarker: Vask. |
25 | * FieryRedhead: Salva has reddish hair, an affinity for fire, and a temper. |
26 | * GeniusBruiser: Andraz is reserved, bookish and loves the theatre- when he's not punching people through walls. |
27 | * GreyAndGrayMorality: The main characters are evenly spread across both sides of a war between continents. |
28 | * HotBlooded: Salva throws herself headfirst into situations and often comes out on top through sheer force of will. |
29 | * HugeGuyTinyGirl: Andraz is well over six feet tall. Salva is [[PintSizedPowerhouse five foot nothing]]. They're married. |
30 | * ImmuneToFire: Sunbirds and the people bonded to them can't burn. |
31 | * KillItWithFire: Sunbirds. |
32 | * KillItWithWater: Serenthia executes traitors by drowning. |
33 | * LivingBattery: Pallas uses phoenixes as energy sources. |
34 | * NobleBirdOfPrey: Depending which side of the war you're on. |
35 | * NoodleIncident: Whatever happened to [[https://sunbirdcomic.com/sunbird/page-19/ that mill in Kandia]]. |
36 | * PhlebotinumInducedSteampunk: Pallas's fledgling Industrial Revolution. |
37 | * PowerSource: Phoenixes fuel power stations for Pallas, sunbirds feed on pyrite in Serenthia. Unfortunately pyrite is much more common in Pallas, so the two countries are at war. |
38 | * PropagandaPiece: How Pallas promotes the war effort. [[https://sunbirdcomic.com/sunbird/page-17/ Salva and Andraz are amused]]. |
39 | * PunchClockVillain: Two of the main characters are henchmen for the Serenthine government. |
40 | * RedOniBlueOni: Salva and Andraz. OppositesAttract. |
41 | * ThePhoenix: Apia. Phoenixes are implied to be a species, if rare, and a variant of sunbird. The original colonists likely named the species after the legend. |
42 | * ThePollyanna: Esne is a cheerful, hardworking Ghibli heroine. |
