So I was revamping Horus, a MOC I'd built a couple of years ago, then it hit me. "I don't want this to be a stand-alone MOC; I want to do something more with it!". So I took out the old scrapbook and started laying the grounds for my first epic (which shall go unnamed for the time being), and started working on some character designs. I first built the Horean, and then my 12-year-old brother started fiddling around with some pieces. When he got bored, I sneakily added some stuff to his build and reworked some key design components (we ultimately decided that I deserved credit for the rest of the MOC, because what he came up with was just the skeleton and I did all the rest), and voila! The Anubian was born!Some backstory:"The Anubians are the descendants of Anubis himself, and are among the very few Astral Sapiens remaining. Those jackal-like hunters are a race of resourceful sapient beings who have been forced to live out their pitiful existences in the Shadow Lands of Planet Gyptus. Legend has it that the Anubians had been in interminable conflict with their long-life rivals, the Horeans, for over seventy-thousand years. When all hope of peace was lost, the Galactic Alliance sent the Arbiters to the war-torn planet to alleviate the belligerent struggle and help put an end to the massacre that had been taking place for many millenia. Forced to compromise, the Anubians were driven out of the mainland to the inferior grounds below, where they would take refuge in the Shadow Lands for the rest of time, or at least, until the unfathomable would happen.""Strong, fast warriors, the Anubians require little armor, and bear only essential parts to hide their likely vulnerable spots, and sometimes only wear them for aesthetic purposes. A key feature of the typical Anubian armor is its striking asymmetry, since most of the aforementioned armor pieces are either forged from a very rare type of protometal called izekjeti (EE-ZIK-JEH-TEE) or salvaged from anything they lay their hands on- be it a vehicle, fallen buildings, or even the tough skins of some of their prey items.""The Anubians usually carry baldly curved, short, light-weight swords called kazitaars. Some of the more "advanced" units may be given possession of war hammers or maces, both referred to as likhajaans. Other forms of weaponry include ranged weapons used to subdue flying Horeans."Kneelinghttp://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Darksiders/Folder/2011-MOCs/anubian2.jpgStanding uphttp://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Darksiders/Folder/2011-MOCs/anubian4.jpgShowing off weaponshttp://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Darksiders/Folder/2011-MOCs/anubian3.jpgFace-off!
