Everyone’s favorite anime universe has some sort of power system. We decided to get literal with it. Horse Power is the name of the power system within CityCowWorld. Every City Cowboy is more than meets the eye, and Horse Power is something anyone can access even from a young age. Horse Power, in simplest terms, is a manifestation in the form of a stallion with magical abilities that reflect one's inner spirit. 

Within each and every one of us is an endless battle we are fighting, constantly striving to learn from yesterday so that we can be better tomorrow than we were today. City Cowboys know there is wisdom and strength in learning to forgive, to move on, to get back on the saddle and take charge of your own destiny. But there is also a reality that often cannot be ignored - that every Yin has its Yang. We all have internal struggles and battles with ourselves that go unseen by others. It can be hard to forgive, especially in the face of unforgivable actions inflicted upon others by the uncaring. In CityCowWorld, these internal struggles we all face are given a physical form thanks to the CITY HORSE, a powerful and noble stallion that can be summoned from the depths of one's heart and soul that will change its form and elemental properties to better reflect the soul of the cowboy. 

(A more direct comparison is to the “Zanpakutō” from the Anime Series “Bleach” written & created by beloved mangaka and author Tite Kubo.)

The CITY HORSE is a powerful and noble stallion that can be summoned from the depths of one's heart and soul. Thanks to the steed being a manifestation of the human spirit, it does not need to be tended to like a normal horse and allows City Cowboys and & City Cowgirls to bring their horse with them anywhere they go. As every individual takes their unique journey down the path of life, the CITY HORSE will change its form and elemental properties to become a more accurate reflection of the soul of its rider.

For the balanced Cowboy, the CITY HORSE in its base form is a powerful and loyal ally with the power of the wind at its disposal. Granting the ability to move like the wind and run at high speeds, conjure powerful gusts of wind, create smokescreens to obscure the vision of others, and many other creative abilities. To use the powers of the CITY HORSE, a City Cowboy does not necessarily need to summon the entire steed since the CITY HORSE itself can become the wind around the cowboy. A cowboy could choose to use their power to have the wind more accurately guide the bullets shot from their pistol, bending and curving the trajectory of the bullet in seemingly unnatural ways. They could choose to compress the air around their fist to deliver powerful punches and blows that are far beyond what your average human can currently accomplish. Or perhaps they choose to push their own body in order to dodge attacks and bullets in an instant.

There’s no right or wrong way to use these powers, the only limit to how one utilizes the power of the wind is how creative a City Cowboy can be in the moment.

We all have internal struggles and battles with ourselves that go unseen by others. Whenever someone struggles with battles within their own mind & soul, it can be hard to progress forward. There is a well known phrase in America, “don’t beat a dead horse,” an idiom that is used whenever one is trying to convey the notion that it is pointless to continue wasting effort on a topic, argument, or task that has already been decided, concluded, or that cannot be changed. Many will encourage growth and moving on, and while we recognize the wisdom in forgiveness,  some things in life are not so easy to move past. In City Cow World, any Cowboy that chooses to face these struggles head on will find themselves behind the reins of the fearsome DEAD HORSE. Those who get knocked down, refuse to give up, get back on the saddle, and remain undeterred in the face of defeat will gain a power within themselves many others could only dream of.

The DEAD HORSE is a powerful and loyal ally with the power of the fire at its disposal. The powers of the DEAD HORSE are fearsome and deadly, granting a City Cowboy the ability to manipulate and conjure flames. A City Cowboy who masters these powers is a force to be reckoned with, as they could choose to use their power to greatly amplify the firepower behind the bullets shot from their pistol. They could choose to erupt the air around their fist to deliver explosive punches and blows resulting in devastating destruction far beyond what your average human can accomplish. Or perhaps they decide to be more straightforward and just unleash a stream of scorching fire from their hands like a flamethrower.

There’s many dangerous ways to use these powers, the only limit to how one utilizes these powers of the flame is how determined a City Cowboy is to win.

Not everything in life is about winning. Some City Cowboys recognize that community works best when everyone works together, and that the actions we make today can have lasting effects downstream we never intended or thought possible. Whether these downstream effects are for the better or for the worse, we must always continue to strive towards Utopia. But there are many that will say striving for a utopic future is unrealistic, overly optimistic, and only makes sense if you live with your head in the clouds. In City Cow World, any Cowboy that chooses to remain hopeful for a better tomorrow will find themselves behind the reins of the mighty FLY HORSE. Those who refuse to give up on others, who dedicate themselves to progress, and who learn how to take a birdseye view of the world around them will gain a power within themselves many others could only dream of.

The FLY HORSE is a powerful and loyal ally with the power of thunder at its disposal. If they say your head is in the clouds, then spread your wings and fly above the clouds with the abilities of the FLY HORSE. Manipulate lightning, conjure storm clouds, master the power of flight. The powers of the FLY HORSE are mighty indeed, as one could choose to coat a weapon in electricity to deliver stunning blows that result in devastating destruction that is on par with even the Norse God Thor. Or perhaps they decide to go one step further and whip up a dangerous tornado with the powerful wings of the FLY HORSE. 

There’s many  ways to use these powers, the only limit to how one utilizes these powers of thunder is how truly free a City Cowboy can be in the moment.
