Rhapsody of Zephyr

Cyrano has spent years in a prison whose inmates are also its workforce — laboring over toxic materials in conditions that have steadily destroyed his body. When the rebel group Zephyr Falcons attacks the facility to free their captured members, Cyrano escapes in the chaos. But the state of his health makes survival uncertain. A mysterious spiritual entity bound within the prison's depths intervenes at the edge of death, offering something in exchange for what remains of Cyrano's life. He survives the encounter, but the experience changes him in ways that go beyond physical transformation. He returns with new capabilities, an unrecognizable body, and focused intent: find the people responsible for what was done to him. Combat runs on a weapon-durability system where each weapon carries separate attack and defense values that factor into both dealing and absorbing damage.
