@lordofdestruction Excellent effort mate.

@lordofdestruction Great job mate. I chuckled at that Ninjor bio. That bio knows Ninjor's entire life story yet knows not his name.

As I previously established, Sharella is NOT Green Goddess. Never was. Never will be!

Could you elaborate mate? I seem to have missed this controversy.

Well Sharella was supposed to be released alongside He-Ro and Eldor in the original Powers of Grayskull line back in the 80's that never happened. We had little to go on back then just a brief description that stated she was a tribal chieftess who taught Gray/He-Ro combat skills and there was some implication of her being his love interest. We had no prototype figure or artwork at first but it was later determined that the archer woman seen on Megator's vintage box art was Sharella.

Fast forward to the Classics line and when they released the Green Goddess figure she was originally going to be named K'yrulla, but then brand manager Scott "Toyguru" Nietlich overrid this and insisted on giving Green Goddess the name Sharella from the unreleased character. They had actually already printed the cardback bios with the name K'yrulla and stuck a sticker with the name Sharella over them!

Now I, and several others, were not happy about this. I wanted an actual Sharella in the line. I was interested in the Powers of Grayskull/Preternia characters but have never been much of a fan of the Pre-Filmation era. After being repeatedly questioned about this in Q&As by the fans (again me in particular) Scott added a bit to the Classics lore explaining that the Sharella we knew and wanted existed for a while then got transformed into Green Goddess. Apparently he hoped this would placate us. It didn't I still strongly felt that they should be two separate characters. Sadly it seems this bit got carried over into Origins lore in Wun-Dar's mini comic. And we STILL have never gotten a proper Sharella figure!

This was just one of many things Scott added to lore in Classics that I hated and refuse to accept as canon (Etheria being inside Depondos is another big one) and a major reason I set out making my own bios in the first place.

@lordofdestruction Thank you for the detailed explanation and the added bonus of what inspired you to take on this creative quest in the first place. I know Scott would disagree yet situations like this make me pleased there is no definitive canon or definitive line of figures. Revelation, Revolution, Origins, and Masterverse, has made that fact more prominent. I believe that is why Scott has rallied so hard against them. Scott Nietlich is an interesting character. He seems like a gentleman at times yet often projects common symptoms of narcissism. His behaviour reinforces that there is no requirement to adopt some of his narrative choices even if the current management at Mattel chooses to favour them.

Ok when I originally wrote these bios I worded it as Netossa and Spinnerella being "close friends" but to be clear; yes they are a romantic couple in my canon. If you have a problem with that, well, that's your problem. I'm not going to go changing everyone like the Netflix She-Ra did, (Adora and Catra HATE each other) but these two were always meant to be a couple. S&P just wouldn't let them come out and say it in the 80's.

Yep, I made him the guy from the Visitors From Earth episode.

Might be worth mentioning, if I haven't already, Etheria is NOT inside Despondos in my canon. Never was. Always hated that idea as it just doesn't work with established canon. I stick with the original intention/iteration of Despondos as a sort of cross between the Phantom Zone and Hell.

I'm not exactly sure when the trend of constantly killing off Sorceress started, but it ain't happening in my canon!

One of the problems I have when making these bios is when continuities clash. One of the biggest places where that occurs is when it involves the Snake Men since in the vintage canon it was a big plot point that most of King Hiss' warriors were still trapped in the void and releasing them was his biggest motivation. But in 200X the whole army was released right from the start -which makes introducing new Snake Men a problem since they should have been there all along. I try to work around it with most so they fit either but sometimes it ends up being one canon and not another.

Not sure why I decided to make this guy a separate character instead of a variant of Kobra Khan but I like what I came up with.

I first came up with the idea of Hordak destroying the snake armor when writing my 200X continuity fan-fics (which I really should get back to -at least finishing the one I started but never wrapped up) it was mainly just to showcase how powerful Hordak was.

I always liked Saurod. I got his figure as a kid and thought he was super cool. I didn't get to see the movie until a few years later on video so I only then discovered his part was small and he got killed. While I like the movie overall that part still pisses me off so in my canon I decided to bring him back but wasn't sure exactly how I wanted to do it. I eventually decided the Cosmic Enforcers did it, but didn't explain why at first. Then a female Cosmic Enforcer of Saurod's race was introduced into canon and the story wrote itself in minutes.

It was a pleasure to read some of them: Shield Maiden, Dawg-O-Tor, Space Ace, Tank Top ... The latter were somehow merged with Vykron's official biography, hence their omission. So you can say that this diplomatic incident has been nicely rectified; at least unofficially!

Couple Halloween appropriate ones

Okay so when I first wrote my bio for the Horde Mummy he had not yet been released or given an official name. Various fan names were floating arounf the internet with many over on He-Man.org liking and adopting Fear-Ro, a play on Pharaoh. I made up his story based around that name and honestly still like it better than Wrap Trap.

Yeah obviously this is a brand new one I just made. I was a bit confused for a while if Necro-Conda was an individual on an army builder character. I kinda liked the name more for an individual character, but the actual figure's box says its a bunch made from shed snake man skins. I decided to split the difference: Necro-Conda is one guy, but he can make minions out of his shed skin.

This bio makes more sense if you're familiar with He-Man.org's use of the character.

I liked the design if the Unnamed One figure but not the back story Scott made up. Plus I'm pretty sure it was stated the Nameless/Unnamed One was originally going to be Keldor so...
