Races
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. Dwarves: extinct. Dwarves were strong, frighteningly intelligent and immortal (unless killed by injury or mishap), but they could not breed and when the gods stopped creating them they died out. Despite a complete and utter lack of magic still a power to be reckoned with. This page is about a mythological race. ...
Elves: The elves are immortal (they do not die of age, but can be killed) and skilled in magic. Following the Errant war they sealed themselves away in their city for centuries. There are four races of Elves: the Rinkai Erufu, the Keiren, the Sanguen, and the Cimerii. For alternate meanings, see Lightning (disambiguation). ...
Humans: Humans are mortal. When the elves first found the humans they were primitive and barbaric. The Elves taught the humans much, but this was not totally out of benevolence. Human beings are defined variously in biological, spiritual, and cultural terms, or in combinations thereof. ...
Half-elves: the offspring of a human and an elf, or of two half-elves. Though mortal they live much longer than humans and they mature more slowly. Common among half-elves is an immunity to transformative magic, while it can protect them from some magical attack it also prevents them from benefitting from healing magic. At some time in the past it was discovered that half-elves can have a high rate of birth defects, including psychological problems that may not manifest themselves until adulthood; Half-elves with these defects and problems are called 'Errants', though the word can be used pejoratively of all half-elves. In the fiction of J. R. R. Tolkien, the Half-elven (Elvish singular Peredhel, plural Peredhil), are the children of the union of Elves and Men. ...
Trolls: Generally perceived as ugly and bloodthirsty brutes by both humans and elves. It has since been revealed by the author (outside of the webcomic itself) that they are not the monsters which they appear to be. Troll statue in the forest near Geilo, Norway A troll is a member of a fearsome humanoid race from Scandinavian folklore, and its predecessor Norse mythology, as in The Three Billy Goats Gruff [1], the well-known Scandinavian folk tale in which a troll living under a bridge torments some...
Paedogogusi: The five teacher-nurturers of the Elven civilization, long since disappeared. Recently, two appeared (Nookie and Kawaii) but were for the most part a complete and utter disappointment to the characters who had heard of them.
Characters
 Chapter one - Meji Hinadori Meji Hinadori: A half-elf with a short temper. Her father was an elven ambassador who doesn't even know she exists. She has done poorly in school due to lack of interest rather than lack of talent. Her grandfather has threatened to disown her if she fails to graduate, which is a likely outcome. She has therefore decided to "become an insane, all powerful demigod and enslave all reality" for her senior project. She has a talking, flying cat as a familiar which she tends to blast at regular intervals (its survival and sardonic wit are its most impressive traits). Her magical specialty is blowing things up. She has inherited the trait for resistance to magic, although it seems less severe than most. She is without a doubt the most seriously unbalanced character, not because she is an Errant, but because of her upbringing and being the only half elf in her nation of origin.

Ellis: The aforementioned winged cat. He is Meji Hinadori's familiar, and only constant companion, despite his frequent sarcastic remarks. It is unknown whether his familiar status grants him any abilities or skills at all, but he does seem to be fairly indestructible, often being on the receiving end of Meji's wrath, and even being used as a bludgeoning weapon at one point in time. He can regrow after being blown up or torn apart, but he claims that this ability does not make him usable as a never-ending food source. [2] Wings or no wings, he seems to have the libido of your garden-variety tomcat.
Ian Samael: A half-elf, he's calmer than Meji but still formidable in a magical fight. He is very close to his sister, also a half-elf, who suffers from a congenital heart problem and the trait for resistance to magical healing, making it untreatable. He met Meji when they both tried to steal the same banned book on elven history (Meji for her senior project, he for information on elven origin seeking the cause of the resistance trait). He has the magical resistance trait. Disappeared after the events in Saus, and has been a popular target for blame ever since. He has recently reappeard, possessing the demi-god powers Meji sought, given to him by the elven goddess Anilis. His story is the current chapter's focus.
Jon Amraphel: A human and a member of the Gewehr Wraiths, a guild of mercenaries. He has a kind nature but prefers to hide it since it doesn't fit his reputation as a hired killer. His skills with handguns are such that he can shoot a tiny fairy-like being in the head at 40 feet when it is hovering inches from Meji's chest, and he is also proficent in hand-to-hand combat. Has a younger sister, Sara, whom he put up for adoption when their mother died (their father was killed by assassins some years previously). His guilt over this may explain why he is helping Meji.
Sarine Elle: An almost 3000 year old elven ranger, paid to hunt errants. She should be hunting Meji and Ian but is instead willing to help, possibly to learn why the elves banned a particular book on elven history that was written while they were in self-imposed isolation. She also has unresolved 2000 year old emotional issues concerning her apparently unborn (and dead) half-elf daughter, and her presumably dead human husband. At some point in her past, she was one of the Viradior, the elven "special forces" cadre. Powerful mage who can control people, cause small localised earthquakes and heal. She slept with Jon, then wiped his memory of that night. Carries two swords and wears a human-made set of metal and leather armour.
Plot The story revolves almost entirely around Meji Hinadori, a young half-elf who is graduating from a magic academy--assuming she can pass her final exam. She decides that she hasn't a hope of passing it by the conventional route of a project, and decides to take the loophole that if she can defeat the entire faculty, she will automatically graduate. The plot unfurls her plan of acquiring the immense magical power necessary for Meji to defeat her teachers. The main plot also has several side plots, but given that Sarine started out in one of these, it is a fair bet that they contain other characters as of yet unintroduced to the group. Number one on this list is Sara, Jon's younger sister [3] and one of an order of time-monks who are currently trying to destroy the Gewehr Wraiths to which Jon belongs.
Trivia - The Paedogogusi Nookie and Kawaii are characters from Poe's earlier webcomic, Exploitation Now.
Exploitation Now was a webcomic drawn by Michael Poe (generally referred to simply as Poe) on Keenspot from July 2000 to August 2002. ...
