Navaan Posted June 30, 2025 Posted June 30, 2025 Hello! I wanted to make a thread for my 'personal toyline' for my book series (I will surely actually finish one day) for Heroes From Another Realm. The story is a 'fantasy' but with more modern elements, think things like Arcane/League of Legends, or Final Fantasy games, or Nimona. Our tale focuses on two former slaves, Rathnait Fele and Navaan Silverwolf. Once members of the underworld fighting arena called the Dust Pits, they would be let out into the world, where chance brings them together. Uniting to explore their newfound world, they quickly are thrust into efforts to stop their former slavemaster, Phanrex the Offerer... who may just actually be a hero from another realm... I have two 'sagas' mapped out so far, with figures of almost every main character from both. The story deals with a lot of political and social commentary and allegory, with most characters directly representing a concept or issue or people. For sake of organization, I'll post one or two characters every couple of days with who they are, what they can do, etc., along with some side notes. I want to incorporate music into the story to very direct degrees, like a literary Baby Driver, so I will also include lyrics associated with the character or such, as well as a quote. And of course, how I made the Minimate! Quote
Navaan Posted June 30, 2025 Author Posted June 30, 2025 (edited) Navaan Silverwolf Quote: "Oh, I have no idea what I'm doing... but I understand tears." Lyrics: "Please don't knock over my heart / 'cause my heart is full of you. / Please don't worry about tomorrow / 'cause my heart is full of you." - Miike Snow/Run the Jewls Bio: Sold to slavers at the age of four, Navaan, last name forgotten, was originally meant to be a 'goal' for the male gladiators; 'save the kid' while the slavers released tigers or monsters or whatever else for the eve. The male gladiators, from the 'Sword Wing' of the Dust Pits, would not only save Navaan, but raise him. Going from the 'pup' of the pack to the most dangerous man in the room, Navaan is an affable, polite, but exceptionally uneducated and unworldly warrior. While he may be the single most dangerous warrior in any given battle, the man still struggles to read, and is naive. Thanks to the raising of his fellow gladiators, however, he is remarkably well adjusted, and is friendly, warm, eager, and hopeful. Skills and Powers: Navaan is incredibly skilled and agile, and extensively trained in martial arts and techniques as an acrobatic sword fighter. He is innately keen with ice magic, and can fathom chains, hooks, blades, kunai and other things from ice (aside in very dry places, such as deserts). His slavemasters performed alchemic experiments on him, giving him heightened senses. His training in different magical fighting styles gives him the ability to effectively teleport, or move in fast motion, in short distances. Lastly, his mentor has gifted him 'the Cursed Boon,' the Shield of Terripen, a rare and mystical tattoo that causes Navaan to heal, so long as he is whole, and the tattoo has its rare ink in his skin. Notes: While it can't really be done in Minimate format, Navaan is supposed to have armor around his neck in a collar, colored silver and blue, or a white collar and blue collar, meant to show him as a stand-in and metaphor for the 'everyman.' Ideally, the character would be way for people to identify with someone who just wants to do good and help, but may be in over their head against the forces around them. Navaan is also a fun 'inverse' of common ninja tropes; he is friendly, outgoing, and despite being a veritable killer (if he wants), he is more a Golden Retriever than anything, to play against the 'emo' archetype of such backgrounds. Still, the character has his edge, and he is not noted as a 'wolf' by those who raised him for nothing. Navaan is also played in FF XIV with my friends as my character and a roleplay character, and as the name became associated for me as a 'handle' or however worded, I took it for my handle in a lot of social sites, such as here. Recipe: The younger head I can no longer place, but the chest and arms come from Abel, while his older/stubble head is Cap from Infinity War. His hair is fairly common (I think this was from a Magneto) with the shoulder pieces/straps of Bengali with white legs. Gauntlets and boots are from Avalanche, with some paint for fingerless look and coloring details. Edited July 3, 2025 by Navaan Quote
Navaan Posted June 30, 2025 Author Posted June 30, 2025 (edited) Phanrex the Offerer Quote: "I will kill millions to save the thousands left, and the countless to follow." Lyrics: "You are beautiful on the inside./ You are innocence personified./ And I will drag you down,/ and sell you out./ Run away."- Fozzy Bio: Phanrex the Offerer. The Dragon Who Pretends to be a Snake. While the rumors on the street point the slaver and criminal to be nothing more than a blowhard with delusions of grandeur and a ring of illegal enterprises throughout the lands of Evain, those loyal to him say either he pays well... or that they would die for him, and his grand designs. Escaping when his underground fighting ring, the Dust Pits, were found and destroyed by the kingdom's knights and soldiers, Phanrex would go on to prepare acts of terrorism, destroying the mystic Crystal Anchors used to unite the cities and villages and keep magic flowing in the realm. But even this aims to be nothing more than the first steps of plans not even this version of the Sertillan knows... Skills and Powers: Phanrex is a man who will take and use anything at his disposal; armor, mystic swords, claw gauntlets, shoulder cannons, all are fair game if it gives him an edge, and his undeniable dedication has made him a powerful master in magic, magic fighting arts, and the technology he accumulates. Oddly, he seems to have a copy of the Everheart Firebrand, a sacred sword that belongs to, and is currently wielded, by the First Walker, unofficial leader of the kingdom of Evain. Notes: While it is 'spoilery,' it is needed to explain the thought process behind the character; Phanrex was the greatest hero of the kingdom, and its beastial peoples, in the future. When the Races of Man- Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, even the 'newly accepted' Feliqaens- abandoned most of Evain to its ruin, Phanrex united the different 'Races of Beasts' to salvage what remained... only for war to again follow. Without going into too much more than that, Phanrex is a time traveler, come back to set things into motion to topple kingdoms and see himself set as leader and hero, now, that he can guide the lands from the fate that follows... but his heart is broken, his methods are ruthless, and while there is an honor to him, even a compassion, he is far past giving up on his ambitions. The character represents 'the corruption of cause,' and ego, and plays to politicians or activists who instead of fighting for what is right, just fight, the men and women who fall to back deals and compromises and, ultimately, fight for tribalistic hatreds and nonsense and lose sight of the people they are supposed to represent. Recipe: Phanrex comes in three 'flavors' during the first saga, ultimately titled the First Second, the Second First, and Third Third, with the former place showing their time in chronological appearance to the heroes, and the second being their age relevant to each other. The First Second and Third Third are the paler Gladiator head, while the Second First, in his more youthful heroism, appears with the 'playful but arrogant' Purple Man head, who also gave over his arms. The chest and faceplate and helmet crown are from the Red King, and the helmet is from Heimdal. This shoulder cannon, feet and hands are from Predator figures; the shoulder cannons were given to him, and his color scheme chosen, as a nod and reference to Beast Megatron from Beast Wars, a tyrannical but egotistical conqueror from the future... but Phanrex is a lot more well intentioned, technically, so we will give him that.

I'll be bringing more soon, don't want to spam- will probably not put in all my commentary and notes though, felt fun at the time, now feels extraneous. That said, vibing bringing Rathnait and the Grinning Shepherd, next, probably going to pull in the Speaker in the Fog and Heden Jesher after. I am feeling like I need to redo Sukagura, and I realized I never finished Candy Apple to go with her brother in breaking things, Sugar Plum. Oooh, Apathy Bright could be a good one to show off, too. IDK. I have close to two hundred 'my character' Minimates, alone, I'mma be at this for a while. Quote

Navaan Posted July 3, 2025 Author Posted July 3, 2025 (edited) Rathnair Silverwolf (nee. Fele) Rathnait is the female protagonist of the series. Another slave and survivor of the Dust Pits, same as Navaan, her magical versatility spared her the worst of her time in the ring as she was groomed to be sold as an indentured mage and attendant. Part of the Feliqaen race (feline 'near humans), Rathnait would mean to represent the will of people, the natural order of things, and the cooperation of needs and nature. Early on, her left eye 'goes through some things' and she has to hide it unless doling out certain powerful spells or the like, representing mankind's need to evolve around superficial, surface level biases. The figure was made with a Storm head, the hanging eyepatch down with trimmed electrical tape (allowing it to be removed without damaging the print underneath). The hair is from Psylocke (X-Force, I believe) painted blonde with cat ears sculpted on by a friend. Her tail is from Tigra, legs Gamora from the GOTG movie 'mates, with a cutlass from a Pirates pack, and the magic being added by a Psyblade from, again, Psylocke. Her chest is Shuri, though I may change it; while I like the look and the colors, the lack of definition bothers me. Edited July 6, 2025 by Navaan Quote
Navaan Posted July 3, 2025 Author Posted July 3, 2025 (edited) The Grinning Shepherd The Bard of Black, the Troubadour of Trouble, the Grinning Shepherd is a frienemy of the worst and best kinds. The primary 'deuterantagonist' of the first sage, the Grinning Shepherd shows up as a prophet and bard, towering over people at seven feet, and offering cryptic comments, while any mage or wizard would pick up a confusing, but deeply unsettling aura. While he has a fondness for the heroes of the tale, and shows sympathy (of a kind) to others, his ultimate goals are both terrifying and soothing. Not one to be trusted, but a singer of words to believe. He represents the media and 'news for profit,' a warning of the duality such systems offer, both the good and the bad, and ultimately, what I worry to be a self-destructive bubble that will one day pop. The figure uses a Thor helmet, with clay in the holes to paint over (May try another pass, the right eye fell inwards). The Shepherd never shows his face, just a grinning, black lipped and gray mouth, so I used the Herman Munster head and feet to give him his height, along with extenders hidden under the Red Skull from MCU Captain Amercia First Avenger for his coat. Guitar is from the Muppets (I wish I could find a good lute; it is supposed to be painted white wood taken from a coffin), and his hands were from the Copycat Domino.

Navaan Posted July 3, 2025 Author Posted July 3, 2025 (edited) Are the earlier images broken...? Edit: Used Imgur instead of Discord links, hopefully that fixes the first posts. Edited July 3, 2025 by Navaan Quote
Navaan Posted July 6, 2025 Author Posted July 6, 2025 (edited) Heden Jesher Heden Jesher is a rare Avarian, 7ish feet tall bird-like people with feathers for hair and odd personalities, who are both the most trusted but also maligned of people as they often work as powerbrokers, accountants, lawyers and other roles in society that evoke trust and fear. Jesher, himself, is a retired adventurer and now a wealthy collector of relics and secrets. A friend to Navaan, Rathnait and others, Jesher's ever-present make-up and odd morality rarely makes him a fully accepted one... In truth, the man is a nihilist, a fact he does little to hide, finding joy only in the relics and baubles of the past. His real goals and motivations are kept to his chest; Jesher is an amazing gambler, who keeps his cards down, his smile sharp, and his eyes dead. Santa Jack chest for the tall, thin frame, with Domino head as a 'make-up' face for the odd man, with Jack Skeleton legs. Random red hands. His hair is from Lilandria, to give that 'feather hair' vibe. His main weapons, the Feather of the Griffon is a painted sword from the Pirates minimates with the green inlet crystal for wind magic. His cane, the Long Dice, is a white ivory shaft with black dots for 1-6, and when he taps it, he sends out magic and elements, randomized; the cane is a painted Joker cane. Edited July 6, 2025 by Navaan Quote
Navaan Posted July 6, 2025 Author Posted July 6, 2025 Apathy Bright Jesher's right-hand man, but one kept at a distance, the man who now calls himself Apathy Bright is easily and instantly detested by any who meet the knave. An incredibly accomplished fire mage, Apathy is rude, crass, and arrogant, who gets away with his terrible comments and harassing of others as he is, sadly, 'on the same side' as the heroes, and his pure power is terrible to behold. No one believes Apathy is more than a mercenary, and the only thing keeping him on the side of the angels is his paymaster and patron, Jesher, is aiding our heroes, but even fewer still would expect that to remain so, forever. As it stands, Apathy is scum at worst, and intolerable at best; his ability to immolate other non-mages from within, or just melt mages or others with magic with overloading them with fireballs, could lead him to be a tyrant few could stop, but his meager mind seems fine playing errand boy to Jesher, a fact the world should thank. Apathy is Det. Lambert's hat on Gambit's head, with the Gunslinger from the Dark Tower's coat and arms over Exodus/Holocaust's chest piece, showing Apathy in his 'truer' form where his chest is lit with fire and light from within, his bones burnt red and seething. Fireball and simple pants to complete. Quote
elhonez Posted July 6, 2025 Posted July 6, 2025 These are all super creative -- I love 'em! Apathy and Phanrex are my favorite parts re-uses of the bunch, but I also like any character holding a guitar. 😀🎸🎶 Quote

Honestly, Apathy, Phanrex and the Shepherd are three favorites, and not just for the minis; I have used them for my DnD hosting, and Apathy was absolutely REVILED- people cheered when they got to end him, and the Shepherd, who had his 'good ending' unlocked, moved a few players, which I appreciated. Phanrex, well- he is detested but respected. We'll see what happens to him- time travelers, and all. ^-^ Quote
Navaan Posted July 11, 2025 Author Posted July 11, 2025 The Speaker in the Fog Originally shown as a wraith stalking Navaan and Rathnait, and their young daughter, in the second saga, the Speaker was the 'protector' tyrant of a haunted aisle won by Heden in a card game. When the Silverwolves were sent to investigate, this undead wraith, a cancer to life and magic around it, would follow them, determined to take their daughter from them. While the creature resented sentient people, it was willing to work with a cult of necromancers for its own end, taking and using their enchanted blades, the Daggers of Clarity, to wreck havoc. The cult, the Order of Revize, would try to use the Speaker for their own ends, to bring back their dead master and creator of the Daggers, but the Speaker would naturally grow unconcerned with their wishes. The Speaker in the Fog is named such for the odd way in which it appears, a supernatural mist and fog proceeding it, with whispers that mean nothing, that say nothing, emanating from the shadows that result. The Speaker, being a supernatural figure, does not speak, instead, its will and thoughts are 'felt' by those who encounter it, its emotions and rage like mites under your skin. The wraith would be revealed to be an elemental spirit of the island, dubbed No Shores during its 'haunted days.' Originally colonized by early settlers, bad weather and draught brought famine and fear to the villagers. Believing their plight to be the will of the island, a dark god, or its spirits, they attempted human sacrifice to appease whomever they wronged... Instead, they would choose a young boy, severely differently abled, and his death would turn the Speaker, a friendly spirit the boy in his odd senses could communicate with, into a dire wraith who felt it its duty to punish adults and 'protect' children by taking them into its clutches. It would not be defeated, as much as pacified, when Rathnait worked to cleanse the isle, while Navaan calmed the ghost of the boy. With the Speaker realizing not all, and in fact few, are as wicked as those it sought to punish, it would cede from the living world, but keeps a watchful eye on the newly dubbed New Shores island sanctuary, where its influence would protect those threatened on its isle. The character represents the way children are used by bad faith actors, and how we need to be conscious of the world we leave them to inherit. With his 'face turn,' he is meant to then represent protecting of children, but a warning that not all who claim to be heroes are so noble, in motive or perhaps in actions. The figure is a ghost reindeer from Nightmare Before Christmas, cut and glued to the base of the attached neck to be upright; it can move and turn! I happily and miraculously got it in one go! The body is the animated Jackal, with a Pathfinder goblin sash. The spell effects are from various things. ^-^ Quote
Navaan Posted July 12, 2025 Author Posted July 12, 2025 Onikukabe, the Demon SpiderWall The undead minion of the Necromaster Vizer, the ancient leader of the Order of Revize, Onikukabe is a reluctant villain but a foe few could overcome. Once a master swordsman of the East, he would fall to necromancers after Ranthalos, adoptive father of Navaan, failed to 'save him.' Once rivals and reluctant allies turned friends, the roguish Ranthalos would choose his own safety and the completion of a mission over the safety of the man who would later become the Demon Spiderwall. Onikukabe can create barriers of spiderwebs, enchanted strands that seek those who near it, psychically and supernaturally calling for its prey to near. This would be a terrible decision, as doing so could get one snared and pulled in by the enchanted strands. Once captured, they would flood victims with visions of their regrets, while the webs would dissolve and slowly kill those who remain within. While this allowed Onikukabe to effectively close off any area his master bade him, he was now an undead, eight foot tall monster and still a skilled swordsman, making him a walking impossible task. Though Onikukabe was forced to follow the letter of his master, he did not share his will or hatred, his anger at being left behind by Ranthalos matched with understanding, and a feeling of debt owed to Ranthalos' adoptive son, Navaan. Eventually, when his master attempted his grand plan, Onikukabe was meant to keep the area secured. While Navaan's allies would head for Vizer, Navaan would duel Onikukabe, and managed to cripple the monster. Using this as an 'excuse to fall,' the web wall around the village would fall, and the pair would quietly, respectfully wait for the emerging side to signal their victory. After Vizer's death, Onikukabe has not been seen, since, but Navaan refuses to say what happened to his mentor's former friend. The character represents the dangers blind loyalty, and the need to honor the values of those we care about in their stead. The figure was made with pieces of the Storm Guard from Tomb Raider, with extenders and filler to make him taller. I used some Spiral or such pieces for his back for his spider limbs, which were taken from the Battle Beast figure. His hair is from the animated Kraven, with a sword added. The chest is from Morg from Marvel. Quote

Navaan Posted July 22, 2025 Author Posted July 22, 2025 Starting another thread for another fictional universe; I would have just renamed my original thread as 'Navaan's Customs and Personal Stories' but I can't edit the thread; if mods can and want to, feel free to merge them! Nomad Stars is a futuristic sci-fi western and adventure series, about a human from the Core Galactic capitol world who, after killing a planetary senator getting away with terrible crimes, is stripped of his bade as a 'super cop' and exiled out to the fringes of space. Landing on a desolate 'dry' planet, Nayt goes from a 'guy just trying to get by' to a local hero and self-styled 'traveling lawman, drinker of drinks, and protagonist of the story.' It's got aliens, robots, crime lords, serial killers, political intrigue, absolute cheese and fan service, and I hope, to one day, actually just sit down and write the damn thing. Nayt Navare Nayt is the protagonist, who is best described as if Dean Winchester and Raylan Givens had a child, and that child was Sterling Archer. Friendly, charismatic, and absolutely toxic, Nayt is a noble, compassionate man to strangers, and endlessly selfish to those who need his aid, but utterly incapable of self-understanding or actualizing in the starting phases of the story, and while he tries to do the right thing, some decisions he makes are absolutely the wrong sort of domino pushes, and for every dozen people he saves, someone he cares for will pay the price. Navare is a gunslinger, a 'space cowboy' archetype and who was conceptualized and made before the Guardians of the Galaxy movie popularized the jet-boots space gunslinger type. That said, I updated his parts over the years. I have included his standard outfit, jacket and and jet boots look, which is Xavier's Days of Futures Past jacket, with Bucky Cap arms, Super Soldier Steve Rogers hands, Cap First Avenger Bucky head and hair. Toss on some web gear, holsters, and Halo magnums and black Spartan boots. Legs are from the Nova Corps soldiers. OG Nayt, when first made, was black sleeve arms with a vest for the jacket, a painted Apollo hair piece and head from BSG, two silver pistols and some denim jean legs. His armored look has a chest piece from the Marvel Dreadnaughts, with Hawkeye gauntlets. Nayt also has access to the 'Shining Armor' suit, which is a very powerful but broken suit of armor that will hurt him as he uses it, and is often only used for major event moments or times when the danger is worth the risk. It's a Superior Iron Man figure, with Nayt's gear added; some reason, Imgur won't let me add it, so you can see it at the following webpage- blob:https://imgur.com/b4ef5cb9-a1d5-4257-99a2-b44b4ccce669 Also with Nayt is Cirq, his best friend and companion, the Ghost to his Guardian, the R2 to his Luke, the classic archetype of the sassy, polite voice of reason but added to the classic 'small partner and big hero' type characters. Cirq was first encountered by Nayt when Nayt gets to the backwater sector and runs afoul of Nameless, an egotistical, childish bully of a tyrant crimelord. Cirq is a Roller, a robot that uses long rolling wheels, and was being used as a caretaker for Nameless' brig when Nayt is initially captured. There, the two befriend each other, with Nayt 'famously' using Cirq as a doorstop during an escape, and after, bringing the little Roller 'bot with him. Cirq is polite, kind, and skittish, but his abilities with computers, machines, and piloting vehicles and vessels, as well as translations and access to DataNet records (think a neutral, encyclopedic internet archive), have him as Nayt's constant companion. He can be seen in the first picture, as the little golden circle with the anenna. He was made out of a painted Captain America shield, with the antenna and little forklift arms made from a Clone Trooper antenna from Star Wars, and I think a black wire coating for the back wheel. His eyes were made with little bits of clay, painted bright blue, to give them a different feel from the rest of his black censor ring. Quote
Navaan Posted July 22, 2025 Author Posted July 22, 2025 Steelbloom The primary villain of the third story/series, when things escalate a bit. Steelbloom was a scrawny, would be adventurer, who attempted to save his planet from constant slavers and raiders and bandits. Eventually coming to obtain a suit of armor made by an ancient race that wiped itself near to extinction before withdrawing from the galaxy, Steelbloom obtained the ability to control metal around him through the suit, though it encased him in the only metal he cannot change or shift. Locked in his prison, Steelbloom is very slowly being killed by the armor that gives him his power, its ability to sustain him without food and water only going so far. It would be worth it, to Steelbloom, as he would wipe out the attackers and save his planet, but his acts of violence and brutal power would see him ostracized and turned into a pariah. Eventually becoming a gangster and kingpin of his own, Steelbloom would use his ill-gotten gains to try and buy popularity and love, while ultimately looking to die as a false, martyred hero, unable to accept his own rejection from his people. As a dark reflection of what Nayt could be if he fell to his frustrations and insecurities, Steelbloom was made to resemble the hero in a lot of design choices; where as Nayt has 'spur-like' jet boots, Steelbloom as skeletal robot feet. Nayt is rustic, with denim shaded blues, Steelbloom is harsh black. Bucky Cap gives Nayt further blues for his arms, while Steel uses the Captain Ameripool arms. Red gloves, random black pants (maybe from Days series?), same Xavier jacket piece, Terminator chest, head and feet, the first two meant to be the armor that encases and eats away at him. A red lightsaber blade acts as the hardlight staff from his armor, under the jacket and glove, and is a mod to his original concept of being a former Innerlit (think Jedi) turned gangster before the character was refined as a DnD villain for a tabletop I run.

Navaan Posted July 23, 2025 Author Posted July 23, 2025 Rictin Nayt's eternal 'frienemy,' the ruthless man of honor, the cannibal with morals, Rictin is a Rawtin, a race of cyborgs barely connected to one another that propagate by using the bodies of the dead who donate their corpses to the cause, or from various governments with trade agreements. While the original soul's memories, attitudes, and thoughts may affect the new Rawtin creation, they are, effectively, new beings, who act and wander and work in the universe until they slowly lose the ability to speak... or stop caring, their final form closer to 'metallic ants' the size of cats. These 'scuttlers' then return to a nest, where they work to make new Rawtin and aid in tasks others seem or feel dull, such as sanitation, maintenance, engineering, construction or the like. While this network is benign, helpful, and even friendly and selfless, the Rawtin are rare, and their 'methods of making' both enough to give them understandable stigmas in the galaxy. To many, Rawtin 'scuttlers,' the final form, are a sign of salvation and knowledge, a Rawtin proper is at best, an outlier, and at worst, a nightmare. Such is certainly the case for Rictin; while Rictin does not know overly much of who he was, he has enough memories to know he had been a soldier. At seven feet, three hundred pounds before augments, it would be to little surprise. Rictin is a curious 'soul;' he will never take a job to hurt an innocent, but has no issue capturing them and taking them to those who would do them harm. He will follow contracts and offers and negotiations to the letter, his word his bond. While he will threaten- and absolutely make do upon such threats- to shoot up a street to get to a single target, he will use such tactics sparingly, and further shows a queer sort of respect and mercy to others, his voice booming but his words eloquent. Rictin will /eat/ those he is hired to kill and dispose of, and he will steal charms and trinkets from others who put memories to them, a sort of means to supplant his own missing memories. Those he takes from, however, are obscenely rewarded; your childhood stuffed toy? Keys to a new speeder car (taken from a target, surely). Your dead wife's bracelet? He gifts a bank account with enough to set you in mild luxury for a decade. While Rictin is a very complicated enforcer to many villains, including Nameless (see below!), he is not without his 'moments.' He finds cruelty for the sake of it disgusting, and those who hurt others for the pleasure are quick to meet his vicious wrath... Rictin would often come into combat and conflict with Nayt, the pair working opposite efforts, with Rictin often on the side of the villains, and yet, his demeanor and manners always showing up Navare. Nayt, always too crafty and resourceful and skilled, and Rictin just too bloody tough, the pair would develop a slight 'frienemies of convenience' over time, knowing, one day, one would likely be the end of the other. The big guy was made with black painted buccaneer boots, like from Cap minimates, with the zombie Green Goblin unmasked head, one eye painted shaded over. A hat from the Spirit, trimmed of hair, and various weapons for the hulking mercenary including one from the Calico Jack figures. His base is Cap First Avenger Red Skull, with Vengeance gauntlets for the hands. He has pieces, under the jacket, to increase his height! Quote
Navaan Posted July 23, 2025 Author Posted July 23, 2025 Nameless the Attaen, and certainly not actually named Dylykka Attaen are a race of spider-y legged philosophers, leaders, and rulers, their beliefs often making them religious icons and guides, mayors, governors and politicians. However, when one goes 'bad,' they go 'terrible.' Such is the criminal warlord and tyrant, Nameless. A ruthless, childish, and vicious bully, if not for his strength and family resources, his personality is closer to a social media ragebaiter and entitled mugger of lunch money than criminal emperor. But as he has obtained such reach, fear and power, woe to any who cross him... such as shirtless lawmen. While his brother, Dyhihinan, became planetary governor, and his cousin, Murluhai, a refuge and commune guide, Dylykka would take his inferiority complex and morph it to a superiority complex, the change to 'Nameless' a partner to further narcissism. Utterly sociopathic, Nameless has deep pockets, and a ruthless band and brand, taking over towns, companies, commerce and planets in the fringe space Navare finds himself. Nameless is made from the Battle Beast spider legs, with two of their torsos to show the 'fuzzy' chests his race have, and with the character viewing himself as a barbarian king, of sorts, going sans armor but giving him a Prophet's shoulder piece from Halo felt right. While most Attaen find such practices anathema to their pure views, Nameless has augmented his upper arms with cyborg limbs, the pieces taken from Iron Monger (gun arm) and a Cylon (claws) with the lower arms Arbiter from Halo with Terminator hands. His head is the Man-Bat from the C3 sets, giving him a vicious, spidery look while his family had less 'deformed' looks and faces (sadly, need to rebuild Dyhihinan and Murluhai after their legs collapsed under their own weight).
