In that case you and I are doing the same thing because that's partially what I'm weaving into Not Greek in inspiration but definitely with that new epic hero and new pantheon thing.

I THOUGHT YOU'D NEVER ASK.
Before settling on "The Winding Flame" as Ashirah's 2nd name (English version), I was actually calling her "The Serpentine Flame".

Ashirah, fully transfigured into her serpent form!

When she 1st reached this form, she was a beacon of hope & inspiration for her fellow Auroranites. She took the 2nd name Songa-Oku, the Winding Flame, because of it.

Now she does the same for The Heretics.

Day 11: Self-insert

Shen from started off as a self-insert about 10 years ago. But in recent years I've made him much more of an individual, though he & I still have things in common.

Love is such a huge part of my stories. Shen has Foxy. Emmett has Regina. Kathryn has Chris. And that's just the beginning.

Alt costume for my magical girl Foxy Phoenix from the series! This would be after she's been a hero for a while, gone thru a few more things and come out stronger. An official Heretic now, she wears their symbol at all times!

Same. Why keep changing non-Black characters to Black when you can just make new ones?

If i can do it, you can too!!!!

66 years ago today, 14 y.o. Emmett Till was murdered. We know about his death, but more should know about his life.

I based my OC Boraafya from on him. Like the real Bo (Emmett's nickname), he's a friendly prankster capable of more than meets the eye.

Mickayla has been told to live quietly if she wants to honor God. This never sat right with her, and now she knows why.

As Chant, she fights to increase the peace on Union's streets. If she can bring hope to even one person, she's walking in her purpose.

His soul surges through every slash. Every punch. Terry knows the pain of feeling helpless. He's sat and watched Union City suffer for long enough. Now, as Shen, he WILL make a difference. If he doesn't, who will?!

Yes. Also, if you're going to do any kind of coding it needs to be apparent.

Ashirah from is clearly Black coded. She's not Black (or human), but I took from African & Middle Eastern cultures to give off that vibe.

This is obvious & I'm saying so flat out. https://t.co/7qsz3uA3BS

The whole "Keeping my partner separate from my hero life" thing. That bores me, honestly. When it's done well in the mainstream, it's fine. Other indie writers who do it, more power to ya.

But I'm all about power couples.

I've got a couple!
Terry/Shen from is known for his nerd hats off the battlefield, while Will/Vice rocks one ON the field.

has Endora who often rocks a fedora. No I didn't rhyme that on purpose.

I accept that charge in more ways than one!

has a predominantly Black cast, but Eastern love flows all through it! & I draw from Martial Arts movies, Anime/Manga, and eastern philosophy when we create. If not for the East, this book wouldn't exist! https://t.co/3LsGtslV5Z

How to be a crime fighting couple W/ Shen & Foxy:

Laugh in your down time.
Party at night time.
Fight together at all times.

You may think there's a better superhero couple. There is not. Follow their example.
