Hello, fellow Lego fans! Here is another MOC which I have built.
This is Bireos, the Conduit Hunter (but you already knew that because you read the title.)
The main feature if this MOC is the crossbow. Using a custom spring trigger mechanism, the crossbow can actually launch bolts a decent distance. A video demonstration can be found here: Bireos's Crossbow | Bireos's crossbow can actually shoot bol… | Flickr
The whole crossbow wielding hunter concept of the MOC was developed after I designed the crossbow. I added elements such as extra bolts on his back to go along with the theme. I picked the color scheme since I wanted the character to use the Huna for camouflaging, and I thought the yellow contrasted nicely with the white and red.
As far as backstory goes, Bireos is a mercenary who was hired by the ancestors of the mask makers to hunt down the leaders of a race of multi-elemental warrior known as Conduits. Although almost all Conduits fled Okoto, Bireos still roams the wilderness in search of Ahi, the one charge who escaped his grasp.
As always, comments, questions, and constructive advice is welcome.

Thanks, and happy hunting!
I love the trans-yellow sprinkled in throughout–it adds a really cool feel to the MOC, and stands out nicely. The red and white flow well together as well, and I love the simple ingenuity of the crossbow’s function, and the fact that it can serve as a melee weapon. The sword is also killer (it almost looks crystalline).
Love how he is supposed to pair with Ahi–they look like suitable enemies. All in all, awesome work!
