Peppermint_M Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 The East Andromedan Spice company hires crews to keep the shipping lanes free from pirates. They have few stipulations; look tidy and wear some form of uniform, don't steal spice and stop the pirates. The Grand Corsair's crew under Captain Blight are one such group who operate for gold and adventure in space! Shipman B'sant Kätinen - Walk slowly and have a big fist.That is how B'sant solves problems. A Nox, he left his home planet to experience the blackness of space, an decompression accident cost him his arm and eye but the ever philosophical being was happy to upgrade and has no angst over being part machine. Rocketeer Öse Ten - A man from Moon Colony Ten of Old Terra. Öse is a long way from home and loving every minute of it. Rocketeer is a dangerous position, being one small person who blasts from their ship to board the enemy first or tie down the grapple line, but it is a lot better than making sure the air filters are moon-dust free. Midshipman Charon - A human, who happened to contract lycanthropy, Charon changed his name and moved to space. In space the (a) moon is always full. So he's always a wolfman. Sailor Ziggy - The youngest of the crew, Ziggy is from a planet where the residents just so happen to look like Terran ideas of a vampire. He signed on for a bit of a star cruise as his grandmother knew Captain Blight from long ago. Special Operative Echo Two-Niner - Every crew in the EASC has a special operative. Plasma blades are rare and dangerous, many years of special training is needed to handle them safely. However they are also vital in space battle and during boarding of enemy ships. Echo is happy with her assignment and gets to visit and cut through many interesting things. Captain Theophrastus Blight - Terror to all who call themselves pirate, Theophrastus Blight is rumoured to be the son of a shipping magnate who was killed by pirates, or a shipman who gained his scar from pirates, or pirates raided his home, or he just really really doesn't like pirates. Blight is a mystery bar the fact that his crew is family and he really Does. Not. Like. Pirates. Here are individual shots that are a little larger (when moderated). Many and varied things have made this so last minute. From losing my photo editing software to the camera memory card saying "NO!" and many other minor things. I hope you like my crew and the story. I wish my massive sorting efforts didn't mean I can't MOC. Quote
Graham Gidman Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Nice characters! My favorite is that wolf. Quote
Artanis I Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 I see that the company is letting anyone in to their armed forces these days... and Blight looks quite clearly mad! Quote
steentje Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 really nice! pitty that it's such a bad quality pic. Quote
Hammerstein NWC Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 A very unified offering! Nice that the people have good stories to mark out their individuality! Quote
Peppermint_M Posted May 1, 2015 Author Posted May 1, 2015 I have a lot of Alien Conquest LEGO and loved how the uniform looked, the general and the Queen torso made it impossible to resist to use in my mercenary pirate hunting group. Writing a story is what builds these characters, not one of my custom created figures is without a backstory. Yeah, the photos look a bit pants, between the poor weather making it difficult for daylight and my lack of photo-editing software (only MS Paint to crop it sadly) Quote
PaddyBricksplitter Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 These are good. Colour coordinated crew too. Quote
