Hey everyone,
I wanted to share a cosplay shoot that one of my friends and I did using my Liberator V3. I have been putting a couple of the promo pics up in the Social Media thread over the last couple of weeks, but now the photos are done and will go up on
www.facebook.com/eightfifteenimagery in a couple of hours so I will link them here from photobucket.
I wrote a little backstory for this character personalizing it around my friend Brianna Black and her production company Bees' Productions.
Originally Bri's boyfriend was going to be holding the other saber but couldn't make it, so one of my assistants was roped into modeling duty instead of lighting for one shot
Anyway, here is both the story for this character, and the photos. I hope you enjoy
The Black Bees were a fighter pilot squadron comprised entirely of force-sensitive beings. Attuned to and having used both the light and the dark side of the force, every member of The Black Bees was denied formal training by the Jedi Council. Following this rejection, the squadron became a mercenary group for hire. Bria was their leader and the strongest force user among them. Her second in command, Arcturus who was constantly driven by anger at rejection from the Jedi and a thirst for power, was always trying to take control of the squadron and reshape The Black Bees in such a way that everyone in the galaxy would fear them.
When Emperor Palpatine rose to power and The Republic fell, Arcturus heard whispers that the new Sith Lord, Darth Vader was hunting down and exterminating the remaining Jedi. Arcturus wanted to destroy the Jedi for rejecting him when he requested their training and thought that if he gave himself over to the dark side completely by betraying and killing his squad mates, that it would be the corner stone in his being accepted by the Sith as a dark apprentice. A dark apprentice who had proven himself to be adept at terminating force users and who would be called upon to find, and slaughter the last of the cowardly Jedi.
One by one Arcturus killed The Black Bees by sabotaging their ships, reporting them to spies of the Empire and engaging several of them in vicious lightsaber duels. A highly skilled fighter, Arcturus was able to swiftly and savagely end his former friends... with the exception of his leader; Bria.
Arcturus was no match for Bria's mastery of lightsaber combat and defeated, was sent fleeing into the outer rim territories.
Bria will not rest until her squadron members are avenged and hunts Arcturus mercilessly. Vowing to be the one who delivers him death.
