I'll start with some pictures:
This custom idea started when I read a book that my 6 year old son got at a school book fair about lightsabers. (He informed me that lightsabers aren't real.) The book talked about the history of lightsabers and said that the first ones were powered by an external battery pack. So I wanted to integrate this into a custom. The custom would have to be set in the Old, Old Republic, in that case. I then realized that I'd never done a SW crossover of my favorite Joe character. So I decided to do a FF SW custom. I was going to make him into a Sith Lord, but I just didn't think that seemed right for Firefly, so I sort of turned him into a conglomerate of some of my favorite characters of SW: the Sith, Boba Fett and Han Solo. Here's a bio: No one knows for sure where Firefly was born, but he was living on the streets of Coruscant when he was found by a Sith lord. The Sith Lord was drawn to Firefly because he was strong with the force. Firefly was propositioned to become the apprentice of the Sith Lord; he seemed an easy target as one who was out in the cruel world all on his own, having to beg and steal for sustenance. In fact, Firefly gained his nickname from other street dwellers for that reason -- he was named after small insects found on the moon of Endor who could be seen at night for just a second and then were gone; this is how he appeared to shop owners only after they realized that something was missing. Firefly jumped at the offer by the Sith Lord to become an apprentice, as this guaranteed him a place to live and a steady diet. The Sith Lord required total dedication to himself and the practice of the Dark Side by Firefly. However, Firefly would not be subjugate to anyone; he had lived independently for too long. After awhile, he grew tired of living in the shadow of his master. He plotted to escape. He "procured" a ship, and one night was making his escape when he was confronted by the Sith Lord. A duel ensued, during which Firefly lost his left foot. In the custom, I've shown him with an early robotic foot, which was also powered by an external battery pack: Firefly did manage to escape. He traveled from system to system looking for work. He was a mercenary, a bounty hunter, a pirate. He had learned enough of the Dark Side teachings to be dangerous and formidable. He pieced together armor that suited his needs, but his trademark became his long black trenchcoat.
