Jane Fobbington

Penny Silver

Jim Solwick

I know they aren’t exactly your hardcore steampunk expectations but hey, they’re travelling all the time. Mostly on foot. In many different territories. I have to make it a bit practical. Still, you won’t be disappointed.

Read the first chapter of ‘The Archangel’ here .

Also, please do share who's your favourite from appearance, who you ship (if you do), and any other information that you'd think would happen. I've heard stuff from others and its quite interesting, and I'd like to know what you'd think.

Okay, this looks like SUCH a cool idea! I love adventure stories with a gang of youngsters as the main cast.

From appearance, I think Penny Silver may be my favorite. And that's such an ironic name, hah, hah! Considering pennies are bronze, heh, heh, ahem, okay, anyway. I like that she is young, but there is a seriousness to her. I always find young characters with hardened hearts interesting.

As for ships, well I'm a hardcore shipper, so let's see what I can do here... some possible ships I can see is

Copper and Jane
Nathan and Penny
Jim and Penny
Nelvin and Jim
Anthony and Annie
Calypso and Verity 
Verity and Nelvin
Nathan and Calypso

But for certain, I'm liking Copper/Jane (because they seem to have history) and Anthony/Annie (because I love the stoic, no-nonsense types with bubbly, hyperactive ones. Love iiit. Plus, based off of Annie's description, she's got a troubled side and perhaps Anthony would notice and take her more seriously, and then they'd bond and okay I'm done with my head canon. XD)

OH MAN THANK YOU!! When I saw this comment my mouth was gaping, because I've got another follower on this story! So, firstly, thank you a million times

I'm so happy you like the story idea, I'm building so much on the story right now - it's crazy. I've actually made it my assignment for school so that I'm forcing myself to work on it! But it's gonna be fun  

AH YES! Penelope Silver is incredibly intriguing; I relate to Penny more myself! She's developed so much since I last drew this, and your insight to her is very.... true. Young, yet with a hardened heart - that's very much her.

As for your ships - WOW! It's incredible how you've just put that together! You shall see which are true as the story develops.... (I'm sorry this is such a short response to your in depth comment on the relationships but I don't want to give anything away yet)

Thank you so much again!!

YOU'RE WELCOME, HAH, HAH! Wow, I'm glad you appreciate my comment so much. You're very welcome  

Yeah, it's really cool to me, and I enjoy steampunk style stuff it's just so unique and inventive. I'm glad to hear it, because I read about your hiatus and was like  Cool, yeah, sometimes that's what you have to do, I'm doing the same thing on my senior project to force myself into developing my concept more, lol. Yeah, even by making it serious work, it can still be super fun!

Yeah, she's just sounds like a really interesting character. Developed visually or conceptually? Or both, lol. Oh, wow, so I was right! M-hmm, I like that about her. It's just that people often underestimate what children are capable of doing or feeling, so I always appreciate it and find it fascinating when there are those who portray a young character with a hardened heart.

Hah, hah, yeah, I've sort of got a knack for sniffing out ships and the reasons behind them, lol. Okay, I can wait. I understand, confidentiality and of course not wanting to spoil the story beforehand.

You're really, really, super, duper welcome!!! I actually wasn't sure if you'd see my comment, so thank you for replying.

oh wow these look so great *cracks knuckles* ok this is who i think will end up as couples (note, i know next to nothing about the characters, i'm just making guesses from the picture)

Copper and Jane are probably going to be a couple though they'll have to go through a lot of angsty stuff to get there. Nathan has a thing for Jane, and Penny has a thing for Nathan, but unrequited on all sides. Jim and Nelvin are probably gay for each other, though neither really realizes it yet. Annie is head over heals for Anthony, who really could care less and then Varity (my personal favorite) and Calypso are just two awesome ladies who don't need no man.

Overall, looks like an amazing cast

Oh my.... well, I'd like to happily inform you that you got some of them right. I'll give you no further information than that. I really don't want to spoil anything for you.


Verity is a beautiful character and so is Calypso! Good choices


Thank you so much!

Omg your character design is great!! Wow I like all of them so much. I think Verity and Copper are my favorites but... wow I love all of them though I just. OH ALSO JIM BC HE'S SHORT AND THAT'S CUTE but I suppose it's because he's younger... damn.

Just from looking at them, this being the first thing of them I've ever seen, I feel like I might ship Verity and Anthony?? Idk she's looking at him with such an amused expression and he's just like "gdi".

I need to read your story obviously
Your work is so wonderful lkdsgjlsg ugh all the body language and poses and expressions. Just perfect. *__*

Thank you so much! Verity and Copper are beautiful characters. I love writing them

Yes! Jim is a sweetie and yes he is younger ahaha! He's 14 and waaayy to epic to be 14.


Verity and Anthony.... how interesting.... She's looking at him like that because she is so amused at what he'd do, I mean, there IS a 13 year old acting waay younger than she should asking for him to carry her. Little Annie loves annoying him just as much as Verity does


Thank you again! This comment is so nice of you

damn it I think I really am shipping Verity/Anthony........this is a problem, this is called premature shipping where I don't even know the story/characters yet dskljglkdfsg gosh darn it, me
but he  looks like a rather serious mature character who might lose his temper easily maybe and Verity looks like a good natured mature character.
okay I need to just read it. But if Verity likes annoying Anthony that makes it even better I just... send help...

You know, I'm actually not a fan of steampunk at all but I'm expecting to enjoy it with your story. :'D

Vanilla-Fireflies In reply to maybelletea [2014-01-13 08:56:18 +0000 UTC]

Haha Yeah, I hate it when I do that too! I'm currently shipping a certain two characters of mine waaay more than is needed, but don't worry! Verity and Anthony will have a close relationship - whether that is to be determined as romantic or not is to be discovered....


You're much right about Anthony, yes! He's just like as you described although he is confident and shares the same amount of mischievousness as his brother. Verity, however, is cautious and keeps herself heavily guarded. She isn't insecure either.... she's just scared most of the time because she cares about all of them a lot.


Hahaha well you'll just have to wait and see....


Woah cool! If I influence anyone to become a fan of anything then I've completed my life's purpose haha

Oh gosh... skfljadg now I'm excited. I wanna know who you're shipping but maybe I shouldn't know omg.
I want to draw Verity and Anthony both :'D

Yeah I won't like steampunk in general probably since- Idk why but for some reason it tends to bug me in stories? But argh I just like yours so
yes

Ohh myy gooodness that would be absolutely LOVELY!! Draw them if you want to! I'd be curious to see how it would turn out!


I understand, it's kind of like an acquired taste - steampunk. But yeah, the detail and the whole Victorian era feel with magic and engineering is just the coolest darn thing for me haha  


Aahaha thank you!!

OMIGAWD I LOVE IT  

I have a question though: Are Anthony and Nelvin brothers, or just related through family name? Or are they even related at all? Because Annie looks like Nelvin more than Anthiny does.... I don't know, I'm just assuming. 


I'm pretty sure Calypso is my favorite

Vanilla-Fireflies In reply to disneyforever808 [2014-01-11 00:06:05 +0000 UTC]

Haha thank you!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA yes they are related! I made them purposely look completely different! No Annie isn't related to the Arteners at all. There's this really funny bit I'm putting into the story to do with the three of them and about that situation as well! They all come up in the same 'book' though.


Calypso is FANFREAKINGTASTIC. I'm pretty sure she's the most interesting - in terms of backstory I mean.


Again, thank you! I love all the support I'm getting from this!

OH GEEZ I THOUGHT I WAS WRONG AND I WAS JUST LIKE, "Uhhhh "

Cool, cool  

YES YES CALYPSO IS SO FABULOUS 

IN FACT SHE IS FABULOUS ENOUGH TO DESERVE SOME ART

(This is my sneaky way of asking if you would post something up about her so I can learn more about her and possibly do fanart of her and *takes a deep breath* Yes please

Vanilla-Fireflies In reply to disneyforever808 [2014-01-11 07:11:27 +0000 UTC]

*(sigh)* It's alright! Confusion is my specialty. Sadness is my expertise


I'm glad you like Calypso! Just click on the link that is her name in the description and it will guide you to an individual drawing of her along with a few small details. I'm sorry I cannot reveal more as she will appear in the last 'book' and too much information will lead to many temporal time shifts and ultimately cause a paradox in which the world will be ensued for eternity and its meaningless cause.... unless you REALLY want to know, in which, send me a note and I'll give you some information that will be as spoiler free as possible.


MY HEART JUST STOPPED. I've scored myself another fanartist! TODAY! I am sooo happy thank you! I would love to see you draw fanart for her!
