Ross Fisher Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) Padre Jules François - BoBS SigFig by Ross Fisher, on Flickr Padre Jules François (centre) lands on the shores of the Isle d'Or, ready to root out heresy and burn savages in the name of the Order. Huzzah! The Padre's early life was that of many common clergymen; the younger son of a minor family, he was packed off to a monastery to learn his trade. However, unlike other young initiates into the Order of the Faith, François developed a knack for uncovering secrets that soon got him noticed by the Temple of Hades. Inducted into their ranks, it wasn't long before he was turning heads across the order. Many fear him, some believe they can use him. What remains to be seen is, is the Padre truly pusuing his tyrannical crusade against heretics because of a holy calling, or is there some more devious purpose driving him? Monsieur Gallo (left) is the Padre's able notary, keeping records of interrogations, files on the personal conduct of notable individuals upon the brick seas, and all the proper documentation that a heretic burning requires. He lost an eye in the service of his patron when a particularly resistant subject broke free from her restraints. However, the pension he received in compensation more than made up for the loss. Merde the Murderer (right) is the Padre's able bodyguard and muscleman. Formerly a penal legionnaire imprisoned for garotting his superior officer, Merde has "seen the light" of the Order of the Faith, and has been released into the Padre's custody.

Ross Fisher Posted June 21, 2018 @Bregir Please forgive my incompetence. I'm really struggling to find the June/July free build registration form. I can only find the out-of-date one from last year. Do you have a link? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No worries - It can be a bit overwhelming, we know! :) There are no longer any requirement for using the freebuild thread as these things have been automated. Instead, go to the Master Index and find the build submittal form. And then just fill in the form. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ayrlego Posted June 21, 2018 Welcome to BoBS Ross! That's a lovely introduction scene and story - I especially like the combo you have used for your sig-fig! The anchor on the boat using the axe head is a great little detail and a part use I haven't seen before. Great job, I look forward to following your stories.

Professor Thaum Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) Yes that's a great introduction built I assume you play for Oleon with such a SigFig... In this case, I must inform you that "Merde" in french ( and so in Oleon language) stands for "shit" or "poo" That a pretty nice name for a bodyguard Welcome to BoBs Edited June 21, 2018 by Professor Thaum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, @Professor Thaum, I know! @Ayrlego I can't take credit. I got the idea from this build: You could easily miss it, though. It's on the larboard now. @Spud The Viking Thanks! I'm looking forward to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bodi Posted June 21, 2018 Welcome to the Bobs, and to Oleon, the best faction. Very nice intro, and I really like your characters, can't wait to see more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flavius Gratian Posted June 22, 2018 Welcome to BoBS! Fantastic to finally see Oleon live up to it's fanaticism! Your chatacters really capture the essence of the Inquisition; you wouldn't want to meet either of them on a dark night. Quote Very new here, but BoBS looked so shiny I just had to touch it.. I also joined Eurobricks specifically for BoBS, so we seem to be of similar mind. It can be overwealming at first but with some reading (and re-reading) of the rules you'll get on track. Also, everybody here is really helpful so just ask whenever you have a question. Looking forward to see your story! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blackdeathgr Posted June 23, 2018 Welcome aboard! With such an excellent sigfig and builds, I believe you will fit in right away! Kudos on the anchor btw! Oh, and I totally forgot! You joined the BEST faction around! Vive le Roi! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ross Fisher Posted June 23, 2018 @blackdeathgr Thanks for the welcome! As mentioned above, I can't take credit for the anchor, but I appreciate the sentiment. 8 minutes ago, blackdeathgr said: Vive le Roi! Indeed. On a general note, as one of the representatives of the Order of the Faith in New Terra, please feel free to contact me about collab/team builds, particularly if they involve religion (looking at you @gedren_y). Also, if you need a trial judge, I am up for that. Particularly if I get to burn heretics as a result... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
