Legion of Primus: Roll into Action
A game of battling Super Heroes and Super Villians using dice to activate your Super Powers.
The first peice of artwork I am able to reveal is for Centurio the leader of Legion of Primus, a group of heroes protecting the Island of Asilo, its inhabitants and the Cubitos energy cubes.
Background to the game and Centurio
The Island of Asilo, where contrary to the musings of modern
day scholars is where the first humanoid inhabitants of planet Earth dwelled,
they were known as the Armonia. The Armonia had fled to Earth and been guided
to the Island of Asilo by the Great Wise One, the Armonia were a peaceful race
and their small home planet was rich in energy cubes called Cubitos, the
other races of the outer galaxies had sought to control the planet to gain
the Cubitos, battling each other with the poor Armonia caught in between. The
Armonia fled their planet with as many Cubitos cubes as they could, they
journeyed far until they found Earth and finally the Island of Asilo, there they lived
peaceful lives for centuries, until the Great Wise One foretold of an impending
disaster that would change their lives, the Earth was about to undergo a
Seismic event that would change the shape of the planet, their island would be
crushed in-between two great continents as they merged together. The great
thinkers of Armonia decided the only course of action would be to sink the
island under the seas, so deep the land masses above would not crush the island;
they toiled hard to build a protective cocoon around the island with powerful
Cubitos engines to power the islands atmosphere and to sink the island itself.
Thus Asilo was lost in history until…
When the continents parted again millions of years later,
there were great discussions in Asilo on whether to return to the surface or
not, they decided that they would gain nothing by returning and stayed under
the waves, until centuries later one of the powerful engines which kept the island
below the seas malfunctioned, thus the decision was made to return to the
surface, the engineers worked on new technology to protect the Island from any
prying eyes, the island rose to the surface and the dome retracted. The island
lay a great distance from any known land mass and they thought that they would
be safe and could remain hidden, but they had not realised that the Earth
itself had new inhabitants; the Human race. Scouts were sent out to monitor the inhabitants of the planet, some returned others didnt.
Soon sea going vessels were spotted by the lookouts on
several occasions so the Islands defences were put into action. The Island had
two mist banks that surrounded it, the outer mist bank and the inner mist bank,
both moving in opposite directions, those trying to navigate would get confused
and sail straight past the island, the sea also moved quicker in-between the
mist banks and could push ships back into the outer mist bank.
But eventually the ships became more powerful and one day a
ship broke through the two mist banks and ran aground on the Island, the
Armonia approached with caution as three figures fell from the ship’s deck onto
the sand.
The Armonia learnt as much as they could from the Humans and
in return gave the humans a place to live and food, but they were not allowed
to leave the island.
The thinkers of Armonia decided that they would need a new
way to protect themselves if needed, they could no longer rely on the sea
defences, so using an ancient knowledge that had been sealed many aeons before, they did the almost unthinkable and started to train some
of the younger members of Armonia society in combat and defence techniques,
using the power of the Cubitos to boost the strength and power of
their newly found abilities. Those that were trained were given new identities so their
family name would not be dishonoured by their actions.
Over the years more ships become stranded on their shores
and soon it was flying ships that crashed onto the island, some survivors of
the various wrecks would mutter about the Devils Triangle and look in fear at
the Armonia when they arrived. When they calmed down they would tell the thinkers
that Asilo lay in the middle of Triangle of sea with modern day Puerto Rico to
the South East, America to the West and Bermuda to the North East. It was known
to many as the Bermuda Triangle or the Devils Triangle where many ships and aircraft
vanished without trace, those that were stranded told of other people scouring
the seas to try and find the cause of these disappearances and with each new technology
that the Human Race would develop the Armonia realised that one day there
secret would be uncovered.
A plan was decided upon and the Armonia chose to reveal the
island to the human race and ask for a peaceful existence, in return they would
return any of the humans that had found themselves stranded on the Island.
Thus the Armonia became a part of the history books once
more.
But what the Armonia didnt realise was the secret of the Cubitos had also been uncovered by some of the surviors that had been returned home. Soon the Island was under attack by people wanting to try and harness this new power source.
The Armonia unveiled the Legion of Primus, using their
trained citizens to protect the island and the Cubitos, the legion was led by
the fittest and brightest, the one they call Centurio.
