5
6	Up in the sky, there is the mobile community of Peacetowne. And in this community resides Dee Diesel, a brash girl who's more than ecstatic because her eighteenth birthday is around the corner, which means that Peacetowne will soon become property of the Diesel family. The only downside is...she's not exactly very responsible. Or good with gadgets. Or anything for that matter. For what it's worth, she can somehow generate a lot of static electricity.
7
8	Of course, that can only get her so far in life, especially considering everything changes when Dee starts seeing lightning that explodes, followed by a massive battleship flown by creepy birdmen called the Teppan. Next thing she knows, she finds a weird engine that can fly whenever she interacts with it.
9
10	And this is only the beginning of her adventure...

14	* AgentScully: Bull believes only stupid people believe in magic and that his fire powers have scientific explanation.
15	* AlliterativeName: '''D'''ee '''D'''iesel.
16	* AlternateHistory: Pretty sure the 1800's didn't have this much DieselPunk thrown into it.
17	* ArtEvolution: The characters went from having [[http://img05.deviantart.net/3e0a/i/2011/223/a/3/the_lot_of___em_wp_by_mechanical_penguin-d2f3miz.png realistic proportions]] to having [[http://comicsalliance.com/files/2015/06/diesel_character_designs-630x367.jpg something with a more cartoon-ish flair.]]
18	* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:It's heavily implied that Tungston Diesel is helping Teppans get revenge on Gass out of repentance for helping create the chemical weapon that crippled their race.]]
19	* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:Captain Friede and Mr. Fancy return to save Dee and her friends from the Teppans attack on the Gass capital.]]
20	* BigFun: Captain Friede and Mr. Fancy.
21	* BirdPeople: The Teppans. They're also referred to as "birdmen."
22	* BreakTheCutie: Dee may be cute-looking, but she's not exactly the most humble person around. However, after Peacetowne goes ka-boom and she finds Rickets and herself below the clouds and has a hard time lighting a simple fire, she subtly breaks down.
23	* CharacterDevelopment: Dee goes from a brash girl with no real applicable skills to someone with a little more sense of responsibility.
24	* [[CoolBike Cool Hoverbike]]: Dee's floating engine gets turned into this courtesy of Bull and some of his friends after he and Dee got the Teppan to leave Stableburg.
25	* TheCynic: Due to the various prejudices, hardships and possible betrayals he has experienced, Bull is a very pessimistic and paranoid person. He is very slow to trust, quick to attack anything he perceives as a threat and has a hard, no nonsense personality.
26	* DisappearedDad: Dee's (adoptive) father, Tungston Diesel. [[spoiler:But then averted when he appears in the flesh in issue #2...only to blow up Peacetowne, which makes it a case of ArchnemesisDad.]]
27	* DramaticIrony: Peacetowne [[EarthShatteringKaboom falls apart in a less than peaceful manner]] and Stableburg [[WretchedHive isn't as stable as the name would imply.]]
28	* ElementalPowers: Dee and Bull have the ability to create and manipulate electricity and fire respectively.
29	* EnergyAbsorption: [[spoiler:Dee absorbs a massive lightning bolt shot out by an Teppan ship. The strain of doing so caused her to pass out but it gave her companions and the civilians of Gass enough time to escape the city.]]
30	* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:Tungston Diesel, although Diesel believes he's with the Teppan against his will. Bull begs to differ.]]
31	* FantasticRacism: Humans of Gass treat the more anthropomorphic species like second class citizens. Steersman are seen as dirty savages and are "encouraged" to live under the clouds, which is used as a dumping ground for garbage. Teppans are treated even worse, not allowed to even live near humans. After the Gassbird War, where Gass's use of chemical weapons stripped the Teppans of their ability to fly, the King of Gass pettily forbade his scientists from helping the race recover.
32	* GreatOffscreenWar: The Gassbird War of 1810, of which Tungston Diesel played a huge role in.
33	* HornedHumanoid: Bull and the other citizens of Stableburg who aren't [[BirdPeople Teppan]].
34	* InCaseYouForgotWhoWroteIt: The title on the covers is "Tyson Hesse's Diesel".
35	* LoveableRogue: Captain Friede and Mr. Fancy are genuinely nice people but they're also smugglers who use their reflective ship to sneak through tolls posts and avoid inspections.
36	* MagicVersusScience: Mr. Fancy believes in magic and destiny while Bull scoffs at the concepts.
37	* MisplacedRetribution: [[spoiler:While imprisoned in the Gass capital, Cap puts the destruction of Peacetowne directly at Dee's feet. Bull points out that the Teppans would have destroyed Peacetowne no matter what Dee did to ensure their warships stayed secret.]]
38	* MysticalWhiteHair: Dee has white hair with pink highlights.
39	* NobodyCouldHaveSurvivedThat: The explosion of Peacetowne. [[spoiler:Except Cap and Phillip got out and it's later revealed most of Peacetowne's inhabitants survived, injured but alive, and are trapped in the wreckage of Peacetowne, waiting for Cap and Phillip to bring help.]]
40	* NotAMorningPerson: Dee. It doesn't exactly help that she woke up in [[WretchedHive Stableburg]].
41	-->"Bughhh, even the mornings here are terrible."
42	* ProperlyParanoid: When Dee wants to leave her and Bull's belongings outside while they shop, she dismisses his remarks that they'll be stolen, which ends up happening. Subverted that Dee didn't leave them unattended, she told Rickets to watch their stuff and it was taken when he was distracted with a cat and a dog.
43	* RobotBuddy: Rickets is one for Dee.
44	* TragicKeepsake: Cap carries around Peacetowne broken steering wheel with her.
45	* WhamShot: [[spoiler:Dee seeing her adoptive father Tungston among the Teppan, followed by Peacetowne getting violently blown apart.]]

47	* YouCantGoHomeAgain: Mostly because it got blown to smithereens by the Teppan.
