Cyberpunk Metropolis Industry City, the perfect place to live. One of the only places to live, but the Institute wouldn't bother to tell you that. A 3rd of the population has psi-powers. Major corporations face off with local street and drug factions for power of the city, local agencies have long since been corrupted.

Join military brat and orphan, say for her several siblings--AJ Green, as she hits the streets as the city's most wanted criminal vigilante, DarkFire. Split between wanting to live the normal life of a trans girl and surviving her past traumas, she struggles to balance her life with any semblance of normality, especially considering the voice in the back of her head won't stop slithering around either.

When a strange new masked individual steps into town with a mysterious agenda, bodies start appearing and the Fear Patrol have become AGGRESSIVE. With the help of a slew of "friends", the Watchtower Brigade, AJ dives into one of her own, and the city's biggest mysteries to date.

Welcome To Industry City, a Beautiful Place to live.

Good Luck.

The author's writing style shows promise, with a good balance of action and introspection, with just 3 chapters published it's still too early to judge, but the story seems promising.
I recommend writing a longer blurb. Not needed but encouraged is to write a "What to expect?" section on the description. Trust me, it'll save you thousands of headaches and troll attacks.
