I Created A Group Of Anime Characters After Three Years Of Struggling With My Mental Health.
In 2013 I was diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and slight anxiety, and again in 2016 with Attention Deficit Disorder and Asperger’s Syndrome. For three years I was not in a good place mentally and had undergone countless visits to psychiatrists and physiotherapists. It was after those three years in that the struggle ended and I could appreciate being happy again. That’s when I started drawing anime. I’ve always had a lifelong passion for art, but in 2016 I really started getting into character design. I’m also in the middle of writing a bunch of short stories revolving around them.
Now a little backstory:
All this takes place in 1964 in an alternate history. All the characters live in London, England and are agents of the Special Operations Executive or S.O.E, the highest tier of British Intelligence. Going undercover and fighting for the safety of their homeland and it’s people.

Hap Clark is the first character I created.
Hap is a Five meter tall giant. she was basically created as the embodiment of happiness. (Her name is short for Happiness).
She has a kind motherly personality and is always willing to help her friends.
I also did a self insert. This is me.
Mark joined the S.O.E at an unknown time. not much Is known about his past but he was used as a test subject for an experimental drug called Super Speed Metabolism. it was supposed to enhance troops for frontline combat but it didn’t work. instead it gave him an extremely fast healing factor 100 times faster than normal.
Henry Jockleson was my second character.
He is a British special forces commando who arrived at the S.O.E in 1958. He is very gentle and can be quite emotional sometimes.
Frankie Carson.I created her to be Jockleson’s partner, I didn’t want him to be alone.
She arrived at the S.O.E in 1958 to start training as a telecommunications operative. this is where she first met Jockleson. She has a very energetic and tomboyish personality.
Frank Mills is the best medical professional the S.O.E has.
He studied at Cambridge University and got his doctors degree in 1957, joining the S.O.E one year later. He is generally quiet and reserved, but behind his stoic exterior lies a kind and gentle soul.
Lydia O’Connell is an engineering genius. She’s also Franks significant other.
She started studying engineering at Cambridge in 1945 where she met Frank. they started dating and after getting her master’s degree in 1951 stayed on to teach to be with Frank. she joined the S.O.E on his recommendation in 1963. she has a very calm personality and is always willing to help out.
Incident with a post box.
I choose when to be seen.
When Jockleson met Frankie.
Jockleson Arrived at the S.O.E in 1958 at the age of 14. That was when he met Frankie who was 19 at the time. They became best friend soon after and officially started dating on the evening of Jockleson’s 19th birthday.
