[M4-22 - Purist Minifigures] – Tales from the Outer Rim

[Mandalorianknight]

I know I said I'd stop making purist minifigures, but I had one more idea.

Some of the characters spread across the outer rim. Varied in species, equipment, occupation, and morality, these denizens of the edge of galactic civilization show just how strange the outer rim can be.

The explorer:

The Explorer is an unknown model of class four droid. Heavily modified or even fully custom-built by unknown parties, this droid allegedly travels planet to planet within the Ab Dalis system without a ship, traveling at speeds thought impossible for an object of such small size. Equipped with evidently extremely powerful engines, a strange heavy blaster it only seems to use in self-defense, and a long-range communicator, the Explorer sends it's data out in the direction of the unknown regions, leading some to believe it's preforming as an explorer scout for an unseen alien civlization.

 

The Gladiator:

The Gladiator seems to exist only for war. The alien (of unidentified species) resides on Poln Major, entering any prize fight or gladiator pit he can find, and usually coming out on top. He covers himself in the rags, armors, and even teeth of the combatants he slays, the Gladiator forgoes all other prizes, living solely to fight and kill in any arena he can find. He typically fights with a round shield and some sort of laser-hammer.

 

The Hunter: 

Where the Explorer's sole directive is exploration and the Gladiator lives for violence, the Hunter lives for the sport. Unlike some of the others here, the Hunter will tell his story to anyone he meets. He claims to be a former aristocrat who left his former life to seek out more exotic prey, something that would track with his eccentric personality and unique, but expensive, armor. Equipped with a laser bow and two small, spiked batons, the Hunter travels various systems along the edge of the galaxy, hunting alien creatures wherever he goes.

 

The Soldier:

The soldier is rarely seen without his full armor and helmet, but those who claim to have seen taking a drink at a cantina-or with his helm shattered from a fight- say he's a clone of the bounty hunter Jango Fett. That would make sense, considering the full body armor, and the familiarity the Soldier clearly has with all sort of military weapons and hardware. His favorites seem to be a double-barreled scattergun, as well as two shoulder mounted firearms: a repeating blaster and some sort of mortar. The Soldier also carries a riot shield, the one piece of his equipment that doesn't seem to get constantly damaged. Unlike most of the denizens of the rim, the Soldier is a bona fide do-gooder, fighting bandits and pirates along the rim for little to no reward.

The Entity:

The Grysk. Nuso Esva. The Vagaari. The Yuzhong Vong. All legendary boogeymen from outside the galaxy. Like them, the only thing certain about the entity is that if it's even real, it must come from the unknown regions. The physical description of it, usually heard by madmen in the streets or whispered frantically by those who claim to have seen it, is of a blue and gold armored creature with black and gold wings. One particular element that scares those who claim to have encountered it are the blazing orbs of yellow fire that seem to be it's eyes, which some claim are connected to the glowing yellow blade it's said to carry. Most encounters with The Entity are simply seeing it from far off, usually in barren, unpopulated, or abandoned areas, and while no reliable accounts have been obtained of the Entity in action, all who have seen it claim it is capable of great violence, and worse, say they gained a deep, unnerving feeling during the encounter that the being they were seeing was deeply malevolent.

 

I've got 2 more entries in me, I think, both from different catagories. Another 12x12 vignette and an alphabet fighter.
