Love the new airborne troops!  I'm partial to that olive green color scheme; looks great!

Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!

Hi Folks.  Haven't posted in a while.  Here are a couple of Reptilian Jedi survivors of Order 66.  
Zxxricnk, also known as "Zee", was with his pod brother, Qrinxeelicyan "Q", on a secret mission infiltrating  a Separatist base when Order 66 was issued.  They listened to transmissions of "Peace" with the Republic.  They left the base and began collecting information only to discover the sudden assassination of their fellow Jedi.  Knowing their other pod brother was in danger, they took precautions and began searching for him.

I've not been posting much because we've anticipating our first child's birth.  She finally entered the world two days ago.  We're all happy and soon I will be showing her the ways of the Force!

Of course, now I'm thinking of customs to commemorate her birth.  I already have Mando and Jedi customs I would like to do of her.  I was joking with my sister and nephew of the Jedi robe I want to make for her.  Actually, I wasn't joking.

Soon!  I'm completing a set of customs for the "Tri-Site-Custom-SWOTOR contest" and can't wait to finish.  With a new baby, it's hard to make the time.  But I'm not complaining.  The baby is beautiful.

Well here are my entries for the joint site contest Imperial Ship Yards, Echo Base, and Yakface are doing.  I haven't decided which to go with.  I might mix and match, though.  Let me know.


   The Nisan family is an old Jedi family.  They were one of the last families of the Jedi Order before reforms disallowed Jedi families and extreme detachment became part of Jedi doctrine.  Sep Nisan was not a Jedi Guardian too long when Endy Kepo achieved Knighthood.  They were assigned to work together on several missions.  Eventually, the two fell in love, married and had a baby.  Their daughter, Marianna, was strong in the Force.  Sep and Endy both became Sentinels about the time Marianna was able to travel with them as their Padawan.

   A bit of a rogue, Sep Nisan was still considered a candidate for the Nisan Clan Council.  The Nisan Clan included both Force-sensitive and non-Force-sensitive members.  There was harmony in the clan regardless of the issues of the galaxy after the Treaty of Coruscant.  Sep often questioned actions of the Council as it, at times, conflicted with tenets of the Jedi Order.  He could only do what was expected of him on his missions for the Order.

   Order was always a part of Endy’s life.  Organization was second nature to her as she would conduct her life and role as a Jedi with precision and attention to detail.  Few had reason to question her.  Her reputation would precede her and many situations were easily resolved when many heard Endy Nisan was on her way.

   Mac, as was Marianna’s nickname, grew to become a powerful Jedi.  She was given many missions that earned her the respect of her parents, the Jedi Council, and even the Sith.  On her early travels, she befriended a Twi’lek smuggler by the name of Osta’zes.  Mac wondered if Osta was Force-sensitive as well.  Osta always was in the right place to help pull Mac out of many situations.  

   Decades after the attack on the Jedi Temple, the Sith still clashed with Jedi on various planets along the Republic/Imperial borders.  Many of these were led by Sith warlords.  Among them, Darth Shrotan was one of the most ruthless.  Darth Shrotan became a nemesis of the Nisan family.  He was responsible for attacks on the home planet of the Nisan clan, killing some notable Jedi.  Mac took to ridding the galaxy of Darth Shrotan but was warned by her parents to tread carefully because they felt her quest would take her to the Dark Side.

Hey Joe, comgratulationson the new addition.  That Jedi robe idea sounds like a lot of fun.  Really love your contest entries.  Very diverse and unique.  Adding the baby was a great idea.  Very well executed figures.

Thank You!  I'm considering using Osta'zes, Darth Shrotan, and either Endy Nisan as a Jedi Guardian or Sep Nisan as a Jedi Sentinel as my official entries.  Regardless, this is what my family would look like if we were Jedi from the Old Republic.  That or I'd be a bar keep at cantina in the middle of some suburb on Coruscant where Republic soldiers, cops, senate guards, and the occasional Jedi hang out.  Similar to the Kraget where Kal Skirata and Jaller Obrim share meals.  Imagine what dart contests would be like.  Hehe.
