Masters of the Universe - Legends of Grayskull

@RedXIII That is way better than I'd imagined, less campy and I dig it. Accepted 1000X

I'll be posting some more stuff soon for outfitting the micros for anybody looking at that. The robot legs/pants, and the metal undies, as well as a more loincloth centerpiece instead of fur shorts, a new belt as well. I'll collect them in one pic and post it and get the OOC up hopefully this evening with a finished image for our main enemies.

Found some cool maps!

Map #1 - Broad overview

Map #2 - More location details

@RedXIII

I used to own the older looking one! We'll definitely be able to use these.

I've recently got back into the franchise with the MegaBloks mini figures and sets. I had planned on getting Grayskull and building an Eternia out of Lego and Megablok sets in a spare room, but now I've got a baby due in October and my man-cave is no more. I've ordered one of the Masterverse He-man figs from that new line based on the Revelations series.

As a kid I came into the stuff by way of a slightly older nephew. MotU toys were everywhere and I think including the handmedowns I had 80% of the original series with the vehicles, Grayskull and Snake Mountain, etc. Then when they rebooted with a space theme I had a couple different He-Men [they looked radically different], Skeletor, and the water themed diving hero, as well as Skeletor's staff.

That's cool, graphic novel about an original character ?

@HEAVY METAL

It's a handful of characters in the public domain. If it gets a second volume and I continue the universe that's where I'll sprinkle in some originals. Each novel will have 5 short stories connected in some way, and I've actually got the first 15 shorts plotted, around 6 written, and I'm doing page breakdowns for the artists I'm working with.

I'm playing around with formats like a lot of comics are doing lately. If there were three influences for the way I'm looking at this it would be equal parts DC's Secret Files & Origins books, the old Marvel Comics Presents, and a bit of Astro City.

@RedXIII Yeah I need an RP right now to keep my sanity. If you're still researching, there was a bard type character in the stage show they produced called the Songster. You should check him out.

Edit: The 200X series had the most world building and they continued the story in mini comics and character bios on the backs of the MotU Classics action figures. It's what a few of my ideas for this RP stem from.

@HEAVY METAL I make micros all the time to toy with costume ideas and colors. All the designs I'm using in this graphic novel I'm working on are originally from micros I've made.

Here's the original three body types used on the action figures plus a couple of additional basic body types. In the link below you'll find a micro template website I visit myself for stuff like heads and faces, hair, accessories, weapons, etc. There's also an instructional there to give you the basics editing them.

You peeps go nuts, I'm gonna start working on an OOC and try to recruit a couple more people.

MSPaint. I'll post them today after work!

Masters of the Universe - Legends of Grayskull

Name: Fisto
Alias: Malcom
Archetype: Cannon
Age: 35 human years
Weapon[s] of Choice: Metal Fist; Personalized buster sword
Powers and Abilities: heightened strength and durability
Weaknesses: standard human weaknesses for someone in light armor
Personality: reckless, loud, and stubborn
Experience: At least a decade
Appearance:


BRIEF Bio: Malcom was the younger brother of Duncan [aka Man At Arms] and both served in the Royal Guard. After a battle left Malcom injured and with a case of amnesia, the younger Eternian crossed paths with the Sorceress who nursed him back to health. Not knowing which side to call his own, Malcom made a home for himself in a nearby forest away from the bells and whistles of the Royal Palace. Sometime later he was in the wrong place at the wrong time and caught a stray blast from Skeletor’s Havoc Staff that left him without his right hand.

Knowing his brother would go after the evil men responsible for his injury, Man At Arms built Malcom the metal hand he’s now known throughout Eternia for. After his next encounter with Skeletor, Fisto was hypnotized into protecting a forest near Snake Mountain until He-Man helped him snap out of it. Now Fisto’s fractured mind has healed and he defends Eternia alongside his brother.

Notes: Instead of being his older brother, I made him the slightly younger brother of Man At Arms.

Once my laptop isn't on the fritz I'll get those base micros posted so you guys can play around with looks for your characters... Almost finished with my CS but this pop-up that's infested my computer is preventing me from doing a couple things.

Masters of the Universe - Legends of Grayskull

I'm waiting for my laptop to finish updating then I'll get into some specifics with another post. I'm also working on my character sheet fort Fisto.
