================================
BAD SPORT
Real Name: Longo Tay-Dongis
Bio:
The arrival of the one named "Lubic", caused cultural trends from the distant planet Earth to be much talked on Eternia, much of it scrambled through conversation. One such concept of "sports", where in gangs of waring factions waged primative battle for highly coveted "points" travelled across the planet's surface eventually landing in the mind of young Longo, an apprentice to Gwildor. He was able to use his mentor's technology to tune-in to ancient audio & visual transmissions from Earth. Visions danced through his head of "Raiders" & "Warriors", "Bullets" & "Rockets", "Knights" fighting "Pirates", Listening to the news reports of each battle, Longo learned that one must "play hard or go home" because "might makes right", & one must "win at all costs" because "if you're not the best, then you're the worst".
Longo now using his mentor's technology against him, slayed Gwildor & fashioned armaments & gear modelled after Earth's famed combat warriors & started down a dark self-indulgent path towards personal glory.

REASON FOR UNSUBMISSION: Time. Other than that, I thought this would make for a good fit. I like the "cargo cult" concept of ideas being "lost in translation" as they go from an advanced civilization to a primitive one, made even more interesting as this would be going somewhat backwards as Eternia is clearly the more advanced society (at least technologically speaking).

Now THIS is just plain badass. I love the Mad Max-esque look, and it fits perfectly within the MOTU canon. Kinda depressing that Gwildor had to die. I wonder how Longo and Photog both served Gwildor.

I'd say like Cain & Abel.
And yeah, I just threw that in there about Gwildor because so many fans seem to hate him for finicky b.s. reasons, & its a reference to the recent string of deaths in the bios.

I've thought about making this a custom figure at some point but I have a shit ton of projects going at once right now.
