The O-2B variant was specifically used for psychological warfare operations during the Vietnam War. It was equipped with a large, amplified loudspeaker system on the right side of the fuselage and a chute in the belly to disperse propaganda leaflets. This particular aircraft was the seventh of only 31 O-2B aircraft produced. It served in Vietnam from 1967 to 1972 with the 9th Special Operations Squadron, and is now privately owned. Photographed at the McConnell AFB Open House Airshow in 2014.

I’ll do you one better. How about OV-1, OV-2, and the OV-10? Vietnam FAC Aircrafts

Redrew another old character, Ozette Brandt. She's a former war mage who now spends her days guarding a remote town that nursed her back to health. She lays low thanks to most organizations believing her to be dead, but her natural ability to use magic would make her highly coveted for military research reasons, should the wrong people find out that she's still alive.

Her whole shtick is projecting mana limbs that can shapeshift at will to suit her needs, though the energy needed to do so means she only ever busts it out for combat. She still mostly uses normal prosthetics and, though I didn't draw it for this iteration, her wheelchair. Showing her in her wheelchair requires a whole other drawing, so hopefully I'll get to that another day.

The mana limb projections themselves are most comparable to, say, hardlight materials you'd see in sci-fi settings like Halo or Mass Effect. Ozette has control over its temperature, so rather than always being lightsaber-level hot all the time, she instead briefly cranks them up to that level whenever she's attacking with them.
