The Marauders of Bonkland

It’ll be 2023 in a few hours so I thought I’d end the year on a high note with some builds I’ve been working on for a few weeks that I’m very proud of

have some pirates

oh and some Monopoly Lore™

Foxglove, the eel

Foxglove is the undisputed captain of the Marauders and carries her position with pride. Foxglove isn’t her actual name; she just likes how the word sounds. She’s extremely hot-tempered and absolutely will viciously assault anyone who irritates her. Try complementing her and you’ll get a spiked boot to the face. Despite this, she is still very protective of her crew as they’re pretty much the only people she can stand.

Foxglove always covers herself in weapons in anticipation of the likely event that someone annoys her - most of the time she’ll whip out her pistol and shoot them in the leg a few times. The more annoyed she is, the higher up the body she tends to shoot.

If she’s feeling particularly irritated, she’s more prone to just bringing out her sword. A good beheading usually shuts people up.

Of course, neither of these weapons compare to her absolute favourite choice, her giant and ridiculously edgy scythe, Soulstealer. Its absurd size makes it a bit of a pain to carry around casually, so she doesn’t take it along with her that often. However, whenever she does, she’s almost guaranteed to use it at any chance she gets.

Clyde, the shark

Clyde is the Marauders’ first mate and marksman. He’s especially close to Foxglove, and seems to be the only person capable of calming her down. In contrast to Foxglove’s excessive arsenal, Clyde carries very little equipment at all, usually wielding just a single laser rifle. He’s an extremely good shot with it, however, and when using it can hit practically any target. Bizarrely, he is a notoriously terrible aim when using literally any other firearm. Luckily he’s also extremely strong, so he can usually hold his own if disarmed.

Randolph, the crab

Randolph is probably the smartest of all the Marauders, and as such he acts as their tactician. He’s also the owner of their ship, making him an invaluable member of the crew. In addition to his high intelligence, his endurance is through the roof, with his entire body being insanely durable and able to tank hundreds of attacks. His shell is tougher still, being practically indestructible.

Randolph’s body gives off a bioluminescent glow, helpful for lighting when he’s working late on repairs to the ship.

Cynthia, the squid

Unlike all her fellow Marauders, Cynthia doesn’t really care about piracy that much, she’s just along for the ride. She loves travelling and exploring, and just felt like joining a pirate gang seemed the best way of going about that. She’s incredibly nimble and acrobatic, thanks in part to her numerous extra appendages and flexible body. Randolph gave her a Shock Staff upon joining the crew, able to shoot devastating electric blasts, but she hasn’t properly figured out how to use it just yet and mainly just uses it whenever the ship’s electrical system is acting up. She’s also incredibly fond of her scarf for the sole reason that she can use it as a portable pillow for long journeys.

so there they all are

I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed making them

Obviously has an aimbot client for that weapon alone. Minor nitpick, the G2 Shells on his wrists seem a little superfluous but idk

My opinions haven’t changed from the time you posted the WIPs, these are all great and demonstrate a variety of learnt skills, it’s nice to see a team that compliments each other (lore and things like black as a common colour edit: oh, wait buff shark has none, oh well you get my point!) and also yet also are certainly not clones. Good job Monopoly :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

ah all four of these mocs look really cool! As always the Monopoly Lore™ is appreciated and the parts use and shaping are neat. They’re all pretty unique so nice job there. Overall some great sea creature pirate mocs.

same.

I’ve wanted to make a show for years but, as I said before, I just don’t have any female voice actors, or really any voice actors for that matter

I’ve been thinking of doing it since at least 2017

I’ve written up tons of scripts but they never end up actually going anywhere

You could always just go the 2015 Gali route for the female characters

“Voice filters son, makes me impervious to loss of subscribers.”
“How do you think VTubers get by Jack? EGirls? You think they’re real!?”

Also you could use text-to-speech like funny hail Denmark show, some generators are quite natural now I’d assume…or you just hound your friends to go in a Discord call with voice filters and then let chaos ensure :skull: …or what Rukah said, that’s quite an interesting suggestion.

He probably could, but you’d have to speed click it because TTV mod’s don’t like discord links and remove them

If you’re looking for voice talent I’m always more than happy to offer my services. I can do a pretty decent range of male voices, and I’ve been told I’m a really good actor. Voice acting is something I’ve been wanted to get into for ages. But just haven’t been able to find a good place to start.

Granted it doesn’t help that I don’t have any kind of good recording space/set up at the moment. But I’m hopefully going to fix that soon.
