the other three players' concept sketches ft oomf's (@farmercrystal) oc lilac but in zero day flavor. lilac isn't canon here but i like drawing her and i thought she would be good warm up for how to approach the other hero designs and how to stylize them. also has some lore in there somewhere

HERO 001 - he/him - transmasc - 18y/o

The City's first, and oftentimes only necessary, line of defense. Second-in-command only to The Sun, Cyan is a reclusive, snappy, and standoffish figure; often blunt and unfriendly, despite his appearances in the public eye (in place of his superior) suggesting otherwise.

When he's not performing for the camera, he spends his time fighting; a dangerously fast rifle specialist with a hobby for wiping entire groups of corrupt, leaving entire blocks of the city red. He's got a strong rebellious streak, desperate to break the chokehold The Sun has on him, however, and often sneaks out of the chapel to engage in fighting rings with the very same corrupt he was built to slaughter. Thus, opinions on him are... understandably mixed at best.

﹒⌗﹒ZERO_DAY LORE ;; WORLD

The simply-named City is a sprawling behemoth of metal, lights and concrete. if you zoom out, it has rings; towards the center, the city is brighter, denser. Oftentimes richer, but this is not always the case. At its core is a chapel; a white-blue polished monolith adorned with screens. It houses The Tree, a generator responsible for churning the blind devotion of its citizens into the power that fuels the City. Hooked to the tree is a god taking the form of an undying yellow sun, a cruel deity responsible for the government that now has a chokehold on the population.

Dissent is punishable by death; but when has death stopped anyone?

In the underbelly of the City is a growing web of crime identifiable by its usage of pink machinery; at its helm a mad engineer and her quickly-expanding gang. Its unclear if she aims to overthrow or take the Sun God's place, though....
