Angel Family Tree


About the Angel Family Tree

The Angel family is presently composed of twelve generations, starting with Rupert and continuing unbroken through to Carlita and Francis. There were no Angels before Rupert, who himself was bestowed with abilities only as an adult. Amanda was the first person to the the Angel from birth.

Some interesting tidbits about the Angels:

  • All the children in each generation was an Angel, and they retained their abilities until they died.
  • Although there could be as many as eight or even ten Angels serving the Lesser Antilles, it was very rare for two Angels to have similar abilities at the same time.
  • Regardless of how many Angels are serving, they are all referred to as "The Angel"; the plural was not used.
  • Only the oldest surviving child carried the line and had children who were Angels. Younger siblings had normal children.
  • No Angel has a surname. Anyone who married an Angel dropped their surname.
  • The tree used to depict the Angel family tree is a Tamarind, which produces a versatile fruit and is native to the Virgin Islands.


What's Coming

We'll be adding mouse rollever access to Angel information. Then, for every month the comic reaches its donation goal, new information will be added, including:
  • A popup window with a quick overview of the Angel, with ability to click to access that Angel's main page.
  • Angel Biography, Vital Stats, Abilities and History
  • Angel Picture(s)
  • New Angels (there were 50+ Angels over the past 300 years!)
  • Links to related fanfic/fanart for each Angel (As submitted by fans.)
Additionally, new Angels and information will be added periodically as Carlita's story unfolds in the web comic and she talks about her relatives. In this graphic novel, for instance, Carlita will mention at least eight other Angels. And in the next graphic novel, she will be working with Angels from her distant past.

We will also be holding a number of the Angel spots open, to be filled by readers. We're still working out the best way to do this, but a few ideas are:
  • Random contest drawings from those who donate in a certain period.
  • A high level perk for a Patron.
  • An anniversary drawing for anyone who registers for free.
  • A writing/art contest
Anything and everything that happens here will be greatly enhanced by reader participation, interest and feedback. I have plenty - dozens - of stories to tell about the Angels and would like nothing better to tell them. And Steve and the AoST art team are standing at the ready (well, sitting, really) happy to bring to life your favorite characters and adventures.

News entry for Tuesday, September 7th, 2010
She's So Young.
I'd originally worried over how I was going to keep track of all this time-jumping, and all the complex - to say the least - relationships Celeste was going to have with anyone outside of her crew. I'm working from one primary focus: Celeste. So long as I look at her life experiences as the linear time component, then everything else will be on that time line. Not that there still won't be some tricky stuff coming up. I just hope I won't get our readers and us lost as we move along.

DIFFERENT KIND OF
WALLPAPERS!
Starting this month and running through the end of Issue 04, we'll be giving out multiple wallpapers to donors AND people who post in the forum. Each wallpaper is going to be a nice image of a crew member, along with a short character bio. The pages will eventually end up on the new site's CAST PAGE, but the images there will be smaller and lower rez. So consider donating and/or posting during Issue 4! Donors receive all wallpapers for the month, while anyone who posts in the forum will receive the month's first character image. (Donors also receive any bonus images Lily may decide to create in a month.) There will be two to four images each month. A snippet of the first one will be going up once we start that character's story on September 14th.
