I posted this up on the old Atari forums long ago, and with a number of people getting the model bug again with the upcoming release of UT3 I'm reposting it here now with the hopes it might inspire someone or a group of someones to give it a crack.
~~~~
I figure a good Nali team would be 4 character models,
Nali Warrior model, 2 skins. The regular Nali we all love.
Nali Gladiator model, 2 skins. A slightly bigger, much more beefed up and muscled Nali.
Nali Warrior Female model, 2 skins. Warrior and Warrior Priestess maybe?
Nali Warcow, 2 skins. Who could forgot those guys.
That would give a team of 8, which seems fairly standard througout UTs past. Some character ideas for the above models+skins,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DIBONI (Nali Female model)
Race: Na Pali Vengeance
Age: Unknown
Bio:
Diboni is a warrior priestess, and is not a Nali to take lightly. Horrified by what the Skarrj have done to her home world, she gladly joined Onkyq's team. Her tenacity and battle prowess has earned her respect from a number of competitors in the tournament.
ECTARA (Nali Female model)
Race: Na Pali Vengeance
Age: Unknown
Bio:
Ectara never used to be anything more than a family woman, until the Skarrj come to Na Pali. After years as a slave to the Skarrj, she has grown into a hateful and vengeful being that learned to fight to survive. Now, as a brutal warrior, Ectara will tear her way through any opponent to get a chance to strike back at the Skarrj. Thinks of the tournament as nothing more than a chance to hone her skills until the day the Nali rise up to destroy the Skarrj entirely.
COMOLOW (Nali Warcow model)
Race: Na Pali Vengeance
Age: Unknown
Bio:
When the Skarrj first invaded Na Pali, the Nali used cows to help them fight back. Easy to train, faithful and strong enough to carry the heavy weaponry of the tournament, Onykq picked out two cows and trained them for tournament battles himself. Comolow is one of very few cows to have lived so long after the initial Skarrj invasion, and as such has been fighting for a number of years now. His disposition to non Nali is less than friendly.
ATOMIC (Nali Warcow model)
Race: Na Pali Vengeance
Age: Unknown
Bio:
After agreeing to enter the tournament, Onykq allowed the Ator Corp to tend this cow's wounds with modern scientific medicine, rather than traditional Nali healing methods. Given new cybernetic enhancements, Atomic is now more than ready to move into battle for his Nali masters.
ZERUSR (Nali model)
Race: Na Pali Vengeance
Age: Unknown
Bio:
Abandoning the peaceful way of life he once knew, Zerusr fights bravely and boldly against Skarrj oppressors in daring sabotage and hit and run attacks against Skarrj outposts. When he was found by Onkyq, he was glad to know there were other Nali rebels as well, and joined the group in more challenging assaults. Doesn't personally believe joining the Tournament will accomplish anything for their goal, but stands by his Nali brethren all the same.
ONKYQ (Nali model)
Race: Na Pali Vengeance
Age: Unknown
Bio:
Leader of a ragtag bunch of Nali who have become warriors in order to survive, Onkyq and his team were saved by the Ator Corp when an attack on a Skarrj outpost went bad. When the Ator Corp offered to sponsor them in the tournament, Onkyq saw it as a golden opportunity to develop their combat and tactical skills to a far greater degree, and perhaps generate sympathy and support from outsiders. But ultimately to show the galaxy, and more importantly, any Nali that may see or find out about them, that there are those willing to fight back. Onkyq also hopes it will allow him to recruit others so they may one day strike bigger and more devastating blows against the Skarrj.
KONAR (Nali Gladiator model)
Race: Na Pali Vengeance
Age: Unknown
Bio:
Initially, Konar was against the idea of joining the tournament. Once he saw the successful integration of cybernetics on Atomic, he volunteered to have them installed to his own body as well. At heart, Konar is a gentle giant, having only built up such a strong form because he had to in order to survive gladiatorial matches he was forced into by the Skarrj. With his cybernetic enhancements, he's more than willing to repay the same type of 'kindness' on the Skarrj that they gave to him.
ZAGNOK (Nali Gladiator model)
Race: Na Pali Vengeance
Age: Unknown
Bio:
Always angry, always wanting to fight, Zagnok grew to enjoy combat while a gladiator for the Skarrj. His body is covered in a wide variety of scars, many of them always giving him pain. Incorporates Skarrj tusks into his armor as trophies from victories against them. Zagnok is usually to found at the front of the line when it's time to enter battle, and judging by the look in his eyes, he wouldn't mind letting a bloodlust mindset permanatly take him over.
