ABOUT THE STORY: "Action Bound Hearts Of Flame And Frost" takes place in a modern Earth-like world called Earthen where elemental spirits, angels, and demons exist in secret. Most people don't know these beings walk among them - but Phenics and Yuki are on the front lines of a war between our world and the Abyss. _____ THE MAIN CAST: Phenics Amaterasu (Lead Male - Tsundere Type) He's fiery, stubborn, secretly kind under all the snark, and of course, super bad at expressing his feelings (especially toward a certain icy girl). His powers stem from his Phoenix Spirit, giving him control over blazing flames, crimson wings, and combat-enhancing astral armor. He's also ¼ human, ¼ angel, and ½ Phoenix Elemental Spirit - so yeah, he's complicated. _____ Yuki Yuuki (Lead Female - Kuudere Type) Cool, composed, and deeply emotional beneath the surface. Yuki is Phenics' childhood friend and partner in battle. She doesn't say much, but when she does, it cuts straight to the soul. Her powers are from her Ice Spirit heritage - she's a Yuki Onna (Snow Woman) with ice manipulation, spirit-enhanced martial skills, and killer frost-glare energy. Also ¼ human, ¼ angel, and ½ Ice Elemental Spirit. _____ Kazuya Hayashi (Male - Loyal Best Friend Type) Phenics' other best friend and the "big brother" energy of the group. He doesn't have spirit blood, but he makes up for it with strong spiritual awareness, energy-enhanced equipment, and a grounded sense of calm. He's brave, chill, and maybe too good at keeping secrets. _____ Miko Aihara (Female - Energetic + Spirited Type) The heart of the team. Miko is Kazuya's closest companion and often drags everyone into being a bit more... human. Like Kazuya, she's fully human but spiritually gifted. Her style leans more toward agility and charm in battle, using sacred gear and talismans.
