So I'm new to this forum (and forums in general), and I thought as part of my introduction I'd post the custom figure I made.
Hope I'm doing this right. |

Looks like everything went alright, so now I'll explain the character a bit.
First of all, keep in mind I geek out hard on things I really like. lol. That's why this guy's story is pretty complex. He's actually not a Cobra character, he's a Joe in disguise (hence the name, Shanghai), and the full coolness of this guy can't be understood from only one of his filecards. I don't have the extra pieces to make all the "versions" i want, but if I did, there would be about 5 versions of this guy or more. Here's his story (which, for me, is the coolest part about him): His real name is Shirohen Nagamitsu. His mother was Arashikage, but left the Clan in order to marry the man that would be his father. Later, when found by the Clan again, he was raised by the Arashikage, and happened to be a young student at the time Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow were there. He (of course) grew to idolize Snake Eyes, and when he heard that his idol had returned to America and joined the army, Shirohen eventually did the same. Applying his ninja-trained mindset to his military training, he became known for his ability to wield almost anyweapon with deadly precision, yet always retained his passion for blades. Before being recruited by G.I. Joe, he pulls a two year-long stint as an undercover agent among the Night Creeper organization, but must be pulled before he rises too high in their ranks and attracts suspicion. After that, he puts another two years in a spy among the Red Ninjas, renegades to his own Ninja Clan. This time he is discovered and the military immediately withdraws their support and leaves him stranded. Unaided, Shiro escapes unharmed and returns with enough intel that the mission's status is later reversed to "successful." By 1985, having gained the attention of Joe recruitment for his deeds, he is subsequently recruited in secret by General Hawk himself (under orders) and deployed to the field immediately. His assignment: infiltrate the Cobra organization, establish trust among them, and leak as much information as possible through prepared, secure channels. His Code Name is COMMANDEER, and though he occasionally appears on the roster, no Joe has ever met him, not even Duke, and Hawk remains tight-lipped. The first introduction he has to his own teammates is as the enemy; the Crimson Guard General (above), known only as SHANGHAI. As a "Cobra agent," Commandeer/Shanghai gets assigned to a mission with SHRAPNEL (my friend's custom character), and together with a platoon of prototype BATs destroy the Joe's CENTRAL COMMAND HEADQUARTERS. Though there are now casualties, he's made a name for himself as an enemy of his own teammates--but it is his intel the allows G.I. Joe to continuously make Cobra look foolish throughout the years. Later, as Dr. Mindbender begins gathering the samples he needs to create Serpentor, Shanghai personally leads the Crimson Guard that support him on one such mission to the Siberian Wastes. Confronted with a Joe surprise attack and ordered to hold the line and allow Mindbender the chance to escape--alone, of course--Shanghai inadvetantly kills TOLLBOOTH with a single rocket.... By 1987, his third year with Cobra and the Crimson Guard, the guilt over daily "betraying" his own supposed teammates and even killing one hinders his performance. By the end of the year, SNAKE EYES, STORM SHADOW and even FIREFLY suspect his Arashikage connection and ulterior motives. He has no choice but to enact his backup plan, which implements the (relatively) innocent SCRAP IRON as a mole and steals many of his design schematics. He also activates the self-destruct of the Terrordrome he was stationed in and fakes his own death, after which he remains out of contact completely.... (And believe it or not, that's only half this guy's story. When I geek out on stuff, I geek out hard. Also keep in mind this is just the Joe-universe of my own creation, along with a friend (the creator of Shrapnel), and we only consider the animated series and marvel comics as canon, everything else "never really happened." It's late and I will finish his story later. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.) |
