2 | |
3 | Mostly a caper comic featuring a team of "professionals" (soldiers-of-fortune) in a galaxy torn apart by war. |

6 | !!Tropes seen in this webcomic: |
7 | |
8 | * AbsentAliens: None at all. |
9 | * ActionGirl: Monet, Miki, and Ambika. |
10 | ** Monet definitely falls into the GirlsWithGuns subtype. |
11 | * {{Animesque}}: Both creators frequently acknowledge an overly long exposure to the medium as inspiration. |
12 | * ArtificialLimbs / NeuralImplanting / SuperSenses: Monet is shown using her artificial eyes three times so far. |
13 | ** Additionally, Claude and Monet both use built-in neural communication devices as opposed to Miki, who uses an earpiece. |
14 | * BeingPersonalIsntProfessional: Averted in a big way, at least with Monet and to a lesser extent Miki. |
15 | ** Claude, however, HatesSmallTalk over the comm channels during a mission. |
16 | %% CasualDangerDialogue: the heroes generally thrive on this. |
17 | * ChekhovsExhibit: The vase from in the first story arc. |
18 | * ClassyCatBurglar: Monet mostly, but in general the organization she, Claude, and Miki work for. |
19 | * ClothingDamage: Monet ends up with this after an attempt to cause a distraction [[GoneHorriblyWrong Goes Horribly Wrong]]. |
20 | -->'''Miki:''' "Um...you're a little under-dressed for the weather." |
21 | -->'''Monet:''' "The flaretapes were ''supposed'' to be distraction ''outside'' the biosuit - not ''inside''." |
22 | ** Monet, of course, solves this problem by ''[[ClothingSwitch stealing]]'' Ambika's clothing and throwing away the assassin's undergarments...after spiderlining her to the nearest pole. |
23 | * DeadpanSnarker: Monet even taunts Ambika for her lack of quipping. |
24 | * DoNotCallMePaul: Monet really, really, ''really'' doesn't like her first name Lily. |
25 | ** For her, at least, it's a case of an EmbarrassingFirstName. |
26 | * GratuitousNinja: Miki. |
27 | * IKnowYouKnowIKnow: Brenner knows that Monet knows what he's up to and vice versa. |
28 | * MoralityKitchenSink: So far, all the characters presented seem to fall somewhere in the nexus of this complexity. |
29 | ** Monet didn't kill any of her opponents but had no problem stripping Ambika down to nothing in the winter cold. |
30 | ** Brenner, on the other hand, ordered Monet killed, but takes care of his subordinates even if they fail. |
31 | * PolarOppositeTwins: Yin-Feng seems to be the YamatoNadeshiko (despite being of Chinese ancestry instead of Japanese), while her identical twin Yun-Feng is a WrenchWench and pilot. |
32 | * PostCyberpunk: The creative team have stated the world is designed with a lighter ''Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex'' feel. |
33 | * PsychoForHire: Ambika. Just...Ambika. |
34 | * SciFiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale: Lampshaded in both the distance and time senses in that that hyperspace travel is so confusing the average person can't figure it out in their head. |
35 | -->'''Yin-Feng:''' Oh, we started about four hours ago, sir. That or two days ago. You know how hard it is to tell time between star systems. |
36 | * ShoutOut: |
37 | ** At one point Claude steals a car belonging to a [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic celebrity]] [[http://www.claudeandmonet.com/?webcomic_post=01-04-02 with a peculiar name.]] |
38 | ** The creators have a fondness for retro brands as seen in the fact that [=PanAm=] and Eastern Airlines are two competing transport shuttle companies. |
39 | *** The [=PanAm=] one is a ''meta'' reference in particular for the [=PanAm=] Clipper named "Clipper [[YoshinoriSunahara Sunahara]]" |
40 | * SilverFox: Brenner is well into his fifties and is in better shape than most of the people half his age. |
41 | * WeHelpTheHelpless: '''Both''' Claude & Monet's parent organization and Brenner's organization fit this trope. Sometimes. |
