Pharaoh and Cleo

[evil_jaga_genius]

Some of you may have noticed my character Pharaoh posing in my MOC pictures, holding up a gun or something.  Well, now he has his own page, along with his partner-in-crime Cleopatra.
 
Pharaoh and Cleo are both Vortixxes (Vortices?) and Dark Hunters.  Pharaoh used to be human, until a teleportation experiment went horribly wrong and teleported him into the Matoran Universe as a Vortixx.  Eventually he wound up on Xia as a slave, but escaped taking a load of experimental weapons with him.  The Dark Hunters took him in, letting him keep some of the stolen weapons after he showed skills with his trademark pistols.  Cleo, on the other hand, joined the Hunters of her own choice.  She and Pharaoh get along pretty well, she's the only person Pharaoh can talk to about trying to get back home.
 
Pharaoh carries two Fire-based pistols, capable of firing in a variety of different modes.  With the wing-like bayonets, they make savage melee weapons.  He's also immune to a variety of toxins.  Due to this, he's known to carry around Cordak missiles - in a tight situation, he'll inhale the explosives, create a spark with his claws in front of his face and breath out fire.  After one mission, his legs were horribly damaged, so he was given cybernetic replacements with rocket boots.

Unlike most Vortixxes, Cleo has white skin, not black.  She has a more... refined fighting style than Pharaoh, dueling with a long, elegant Protoscythe.  The weapon has a disk launcher built in, with it she can hurl Kanoka at insanely high speeds, or snatch them out of the air.  Blade and launcher split apart if the situation calls for more accuracy than a scythe swing.  Like Pharaoh, she has rocket boots hidden inside her heels.

 

While I didn't break the Inika clone form much with Pharaoh, Cleo was a lot more fun.  Doing the Protoscythe, her chain-link 'hair', her dress, her shoes and heels... it was just fun.  I guess that's why I took more pictures of her.  Also, aside from my Matoran Gali a few months back, this is my first female MOC... but I think she came out okay.

The Rahkshi hair on Pharaoh kinda sucks, Cleo has something to fill in the gap behind her head so she get's a pass. Cleo does need better feet though, the current ones are just not good at all. Pharoah needs better colour distribution between eh reds and the blacks. The scythe is kinda cool though.
