About The MOC
Vegas is a MOC that came out of nowhere as I was experimenting with parts for a different project. He only took a about two hours to make plus some extra time the next day fiddling with his accessories. In that regard I quite like him, he feels like a sketch or doodle a 2D artist might do and out of thin air comes a new character or concept design. He very much feels that way to me.

The inspiration for the MOC came from when I flipped the Star Wars torso piece upside down and noticed how it makes a pretty convincing belly or gut. So I ran with that. The head selection was sort of the next natural development and is what lead to the design of the rest of the character. He has a metallic arm and leg which were probably blown off in whatever war or one of the many battles he's fought in.

I have decided that he hails from the same world as Kaigan, Kaigan, Knight of the Sands. by Mana-Ramp-Matoran 

Bio
Vegas is a rather resilient and persistent fellow. Once a formidable fighter, he has long since retired as a militant and now runs a mechanic shop located in one of the more traveled to outposts in the great desert. While he never goes looking for trouble, in the desert trouble tends to blow in as often as a sand storm, when it does inevitably find him, he prides himself on having the tools, knowledge and sheer grit to handle the situation. He isn't the tallest in stature, his strength isn't what it used to be, and while he's not the smartest tool in the box, he's no fool. Vegas has a keen eye for details and is generally a pretty good shot with his side arm. His company isn't for the faint of heart, his shop is often filled with much foul language and perverse discussion among his other shop hands. He's quite fond of drinking to and can be found at the local watering hole fraternizing with the other local mechanics(and usually insulting them to). Vegas isn't the greatest mechanic, in fact he's not even particularly good, but as one of the few in the oasis who can be trusted to do honest work, he ekes out a living repairing various things, vehicles, Air cooler units, anything that breaks down really.
