'ASTRAL FORCE' is a new story about a young group of super powered individuals going through the trials and tribulations of everyday young adulthood, while also battling an ancient evil with the sole purpose of enacting chaos and destruction throughout their city.

ITEMS AND MECHA
These are the items and mecha that will be featured throughout the story.
Astral Changers
There will be three different sets of changers.
Astral Red, Astral Yellow, and Astral Green will have the same changer as they are the main trio of the story.
Astral Pink and Astral Blue will have the same changers as they are additional members that are added as the story progresses.
Astral Black has his own changer as he is separate for most of the story and his changer specifically has a different origin.
Astral Force Mecha
Astral Red will be the main body and first mecha that is uncovered. It is fully capable of combat on its own, and all three members of the main trio will be able to pilot together.
Astral Yellow, and Astral Green will be the main body upgrades that occur as the story progresses. This will greatly increase the power of the mecha and showcase more of the growing bond between them.
Astral Pink and Astral Blue will be the auxiliary upgrades of the mecha, to showcase the newest members as well as grant their mecha more utility and power.
MONSTERS AND VILLAINS
The monsters and villains of Astral Force are inspired by demons and devils from various religions and mythologies throughout history. There are varying types throughout the story. They will have different features and iconography that connect them to varying emotions and fears.
Low Level Demons and Mid Level Demons
These are some varying designs of the different types of demons that will be featured in the story.
Lower Level Demons will vary in size and shape, have the simplest horns, and have no special attributes or weapons. They are purely melee combatants that attack with little to no agency or thought and are much more chaotic.
Mid Level Demons will vary in size and shape, have double or triple horns, and feature varying attributes and weapons that differentiate them. They have a little bit more intelligence, have special abilities, and lead the Lower Level Demons.
Higher Level Demons
Higher Level Demons have the most control and intelligence of this monster type. They command Mid and Low Level Demons, have an ego, and have immense confidence. They are much stronger and have more power abilities and weapons as well.
The monster featured here is the main Higher Level Demon from the Astral Force Prologue, which will feature Lux and Sota a year before the main story begins. The art here depicts what they look like before the story kicks off, showcasing a lot of change that must've happened in the time between the prologue and main story.
