#firebird project

A young woman awakens on the beaches of Cascade City, unable to recall who she is or why she’s there. Taking on the name "KC", she soon discovers that she's not alone in her head, as a mysterious voice calling themself "Rain" makes their presence known and reveals that the two now share KC's body. Not only that, but the two awaken with a strange device grafted to their arm, one that grants them incredible powers they didn’t have before.

Alongside a trio of vigilantes and their kind-hearted yet somewhat mysterious benefactor, KC and Rain must find the answers to their past and learn how to harness the powers granted to them. All the while protecting Cascade City and its people from all manner of malicious forces that threaten their safety.

In an effort to begin posting my art on a semi-regular basis again, I'm officially announcing a project that I've been starting away at for the last little while now!

Firebird, aka "The Firebird Project"!

The first of Firebird's main companions, and a man who can pretty comfortably be described as a "Texan Airbender".

Originally from El Paso, Texas, Cody is someone who's got a pretty cocky and snarky attitude, especially towards those he fights, but that snark is backed up by quite a bit of genuine fighting experience.

He often combines his acrobatic prowess with his signature extending bo staff and his powerful Drive abilities, which allow him to control and manipulate the wind around him and use it to attack any opponent in his way.

Cody is the longest serving of his group of vigilantes, having been in this particular field to some degree since he was a teenager and having met the group's Solstice City benefactor before any of them. As such, he can say that he's got plenty of life experience and knowledge for his age, even for all of the joking and showing off he tends to take part in during his escapades.

Some Firebird sketches I drew up recently! Wanted to get the feel of how she looks and get some pose practice in especially.

While Firebird, Cody, Veda are the ones that people will most likely see in the heat of various intense combat scenarios, and Yaz is the one who coordinates missions/communications from their computer systems, arguably one of the most important parts of the team is the one that brought it together in the first place.

Rose Valentine is the owner of Destination Unknown, a bar located within Cascade City's Persephone district and the location that serves as the base of operations for Firebird and her team. Often serving as something of a fixer-type for the district she lives in, gathering information and other such things through a ever expanding network of contacts she's collected over her many years running the bar.

She will often listen to citizens in various dire straits and nowhere else to turn, and deliver this information to the heroes on her proverbial payroll to ensure that these people see some sort of justice.
