Holy tartar sauce has it been hot outside. Anyways, now that the 3 Factions have been introduced throughout last month, I'll be sketching up and releasing character concepts/designs for the main characters of Hero City. I already released the first for "The Sky Pirate King".
I'll also be posting reels on Instagram and updates regarding animations I'm working on. I'm looking into maybe starting a YouTube channel too. I actually made one, but it's mostly empty since there's nothing to post yet aside from a WIP from a few months ago. But for now I'll focus on publishing more of the story here and art on Instagram.
That's all for now. Thanks again for reading, and stay cool and hydrated, guys!
Security Clearance: Unitarian Guard Director Authorization Only
Subject Target: Sky Pirate King
Enhancer Type: Transformative, Elemental, and Neo
Abilities: Superhuman strength, speed, reflexes, flight, solar ray projection, and sky crystal formation
Faction: Possibly Sky Nation or the subfaction Sky Pirates
Director Ryan's Notes:
"Subject has only recently acquired their abilities. It is unconfirmed whether they truly align themselves with the Sky Nation, Sky Pirates, or the Enhancer Hybrid Organization. I believe that the best course of action is to track this indivudal down before the others do. This is merley a search and protect operation. Do not open fire unless subject exhibits uncontrollable behavior or their intentions are that of malice. Initiate Operation Storm Skull."
-Director John Ryan of the Unitarian Guard Military
“We will crush all those who dare to stand in our way. The Unitarian Guard and Sky Nation think that they control this world, but your days of hoarding wealth, power, and enslaving my people will crumble alongside your lies. If you wish to continue this war of sticks and stones, then come at me with everything you’ve got; I’ll be waiting.” - Lord Hybrid
Security Clearance: Open to all active Unitarian Guards
Image Identification: Faction Flag
Faction: Unitarian Guard of the United Surface Nations (U.S.N)
Subject Interview Result: Success
Subject Interview Highlight:
“The Unitarian Guard owes a great debt of gratitude to the United Surface Nations for providing the means and reason for constantly fighting through hell and back. Every day, whether it is through defending cities from Sky Nation raids or holding back the surging threat of those Enhancers with powerful abilities. We in the Guard will always stand by the free world and defend the innocent from the horrors of this war.” - Director John Ryan of the Unitarian Guard Military
Security Clearance: Open to all active U.G. Guards
Image Identification: Faction Flag
Faction: The Sky Nation
Subject Interview Result: Success
Subject Interview Highlight:
“Although my people have watched civilizations develop below, I cannot help but wonder why we strayed from lending a hand to the surface denizens. Of all the times my family has passed down the royale medallion, my time seems to pose the most challenge.” - The Sky Nation Empress
Episode 12 is out. I wanted to do a follow-up to my comment on the recent chapter. I'll be posting short story snippets relating to Hero City. They're called "Hero City Mission Files" and contain concept arts/in universe "secrets" regarding the lore. I've posted them on my Instagram as well. https://www.instagram.com/soarinskyline_comics?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr
The first 3 posts will relate to the major factions in Hero City, including the Unitarian Guard, the Sky Nation, and the Enhancers. Sub-faction concepts are coming soon.
I will also post character designs and sheets. I started planning this content on my Instagram a few months ago, shortly after posting my first Episode here. I wanted to wait to post the concepts here until I got more views (411 is crazy!). That's about it though, so be on the lookout for those Mission Files. Thanks for reading my story so far! Whether you visit often or are just passing by, it's nice to know that at least some people are reading Hero City. Have a nice night!
Episode 11 is out. It took longer than expected, but I'm trying to find a balance with the release schedule so please bear with me. I think this chapter had me really thinking about what to write next and how I want certain scenes to play out. Anyways, have a great rest of your day!
