Hello everyone! I know I've been gone a long time, but I was just putting the finishing touches on "P O W E R : F I N A L I T Y". I hope to release it within the next two weeks, after all the necessary proofreading and editing. Hang tight!

"P O W E R : T O W E R , Part III" releases on February 5th!

The Sky siblings are four of the most recognizable citizens in Safe Haven, well-known as the children of Knox and Sol Sky. They had relatively normal childhoods, growing up out in the Animal District and attending Zoo Phoenix Academy for a good portion of their younger years (Spring later transferred to the Safe Haven Elite Performing Arts Academy for Recruitment & Development). 
          
          Their lives were changed, however, when the Dark Celestials arrived.
          
          Autumn was working as an intern for Xirxine Northwest when his powers were activated. Wielding the strength of the very air itself, Autumn was given the designation "E1", leader of the Protector Force's E-Team. Autumn is known for being honest and kind, with a heart too big for his own good and an undying loyalty toward those he considers his friends.
          
          Spring was a student at SHEPAARD Academy when it all went down. She was given the power to manipulate plant life on a large scale, though she has to limit herself to avoid destroying the city. Her experiences with her parents and deceased siblings in the Founder Planes have left her disillusioned, and the girl who was once a nature-loving sweetheart has slowly become a calloused, hollow shell of herself.
          
          Summer was at Z.P.A. when the Dark Celestials stepped onto the scene, and her powers granted her the ability to generate massive amounts of heat. Her body had to get acclimated to the power, however, as overuse or high temperatures could severely injure her. Nevertheless, Summer maintained her cheerful personality and shines brightly as ever, even in the darkest of times.
          
          Winter was in elementary school when he was called upon to fight, but answered the call nevertheless. Though he lacks fine control of his power, he boasts incredible winter-based abilities, capable of generating a blizzard large enough to engulf the entire haven. He's a mischief maker with a powerful love for his parents, unshaken even by the worst of accusations.

!!! ATTENTION READERS !!!
          
          So, as most of you might know, the first 4 episodes of Hazbin Hotel released today. My opinion? Well, apart from the obvious issues (overt sexual nature, language, etc.), it is as good as I hoped it'd be. The canon mostly meshes with what I've established in the "Safe Haven Saga", with a few issues I'll rectify in the future. Most notably, I'll have to tweak 1) Adam's personality in "Fires", 2) the colour of the Exorcists' blood (I said it was black; it looks like golden ichor in the show), and 3) Zuriel mentioning the hotel in "Reunion" (since it wouldn't be up and running at that time). Other than that, I've got everything else covered. 
          
          Yes, even the "Heaven/Hell" origin story and Hatchet's multiple cameos. No worries.
          
          All that aside, there will likely be even more changes necessary in the future when the rest of the of the show releases, but for now, I'm safely on track. 
          
          Also, on a side note, "P O W E R : T O W E R , Part III" is almost complete. Expect a release in... mid to late February, maybe? Might be early March, depending on how much homework I've got. It is my senior year of college, after all. 
          
          Until then, I'll keep posting images of the Havenites--and I'm still open to suggestions!

          Camilla Jimenez is the demigoddess daughter of Aphrodite and an unknown human identified only as "Jimenez". She was raised by the goddess of love for part of her childhood before an unfortunate accident landed her on the streets. She made a living off the generosity of strangers and dancing for cash, until Winston took note of her skills and had Zechariah offer her a place in Alanzo's dance class at Z.P.A. Upon learning of her situation, the principal gave her an apartment for which the school paid, and with that provision, Camilla was officially back on her feet. 
          
          Things went a bit downhill from there as Camilla began offering other "services" in exchange for money at the school. Soon she'd rallied together a small gang of notoriously, er... "rambunctious" young women, and became well-known for her sexual compatibility with a large part of the school's attendees. 
          
          And then--you guessed it--the Holy War.
          
          An encounter with D'kala N'chaba, friendships with Kia Sosoto and MacKenzie Payoray, and a counseling session with Cameron Walden cultivated a change of heart in Camilla, and she eventually abandoned her gang and promiscuous ways in favour of a more quiet life with her new best friend MacKenzie. Over the next 5 years, Camilla became Xirxine Northwest's Chief Secretary, married Gustav Gray, had a daugther named Savvira, unlocked her "Spirit of Love" abilities, joined the Protector Force C-Team, and survived way more nonsense than she thought was possible.

Gustav Gray (born Gustav Serpentino) was the son of a mobster and his mermaid plaything. Given up for adoption, he was brought into the home of Marx Gray and the Director, who honestly tried their best to raise him correctly without murdering him or each other in the process. Nonetheless, Gustav ended up as a bright young man who served as a teacher's assistant at Z.P.A., freelancing as a model in his spare time.
          
          Until the Holy War.
          
          The turning point for the Safe Havens turned Gustav's own life on his head. His boyfriend's identity and religious struggles created a divide between them; his own outlook on life was challenged by the battle between angels and demons; and from then on, it only got stranger. The Dragon chose him as one of his Accursed until he was purified and transformed into one of the Phoenix's Worthy; he went to war against the forces of Cthulhu and somehow fell in love with a former prostitute; his ex-boyfriend went bad and unleashed monsters upon the world; and then, of course, there was Fisi.
          
          It's never been easy for Gustav, but through it all he's maintained his poise and steadfast spirit. As a father, a friend, and a warrior, he continues to fight for those he loves, and will do so until he draws his final breath.

For most of her youth, MacKenzie was always the odd one out. She came across as a cat-obsessed loner, but deep down, she was a brilliant artist and aspiring stage actress, with the talent to back up both dreams. Unfortunately, her standoffish personality and feline mannerisms created a gap between herself and her peers, leading to isolation, depression, self-harm, and a rotten relationship with the incubus Tom.
          
          Then D'kala and Kia came along, and things... changed.
          
          The two new students were the first to attempt to pull MacKenzie out of her shell. With their encouragement, Addison offered the hand of companionship as well, and so did Gustav, and then the Main Five, and Camilla... and before she knew it, MacKenzie was surrounded by friends. From then on, MacKenzie's life and attitude completely changed: she became bolder, more outgoing, and cheerful, despite the challenges she faced (including being paralyzed for a long time after being shot by Vision). Eventually, MacKenzie became a stage actress with enough chops to get the attention of Broadway, as well as an artist and acting coach in her spare time.

Far from the Pentagram and Rings, out in the wilds of Tartarus where mindless beasts roam free, the Dark Prince was born. 
          
          Damian was sired by Hades and Narissa sixteen years prior to the Holy War, born to become king should his father fall in battle or by some strange circumstance. He was coddled as a child, hemmed within the halls of his castle home by Major Styx and Tentadora; this served to ignite the fire of freedom in his soul, and he longed for the world above.
          
          He never could've foreseen what would happen when his wish was granted.
          
          The shapeshifting demigod found himself caught up in the Holy War, witnessing battles between angels and demons. He saw the Phoenix Rise and the Dragon fall; the Giants die and Cthulhu return to rest; monstrous beasts overrun the world; and he watched his best friend walk away from his lifelong home.
          
          However, when the call to fight was sent out once more, Damian answered without hesitation despite his broken heart. He joined Xirxine's fighting force and, empowered as his father's Avatar, Damian has proved himself as one of Xirxine's strongest soldiers, wielding the power of the world below for the sake of the one above.

          *The prompt for Damian's human form is based on Vivziepop's illustration of an older human Damian
          
          **Obviously, Damian's fur was supposed to be dark red. For some reason the AI couldn't implement that, but whatever.
