Humanesque Makuta (I can't let you open that gate...)

I'm sorry.  But I'm afraid I can't let you open that gate.

Makuta, at his most glorious, and terrifying.  No, this isn't the 'I am nothing' scene from MNOG.  Let me explain.

 

I'm writing a story based around the fact that apparently, there IS a astronomical something that looks like the planet Spherus Magna.  An Earth League rules the known galaxy, constantly expanding.  Humans have arrived and started a colony, and also, have encountered the natives of the Solis Magna system:  The Agori.  These Agori are called 'changelings' and 'Nephilim' by the humans - because they can edit their DNA easily, and so morph into many different shapes.

 

Anyhow, Makuta and Mata Nui are the children of an Agori and a human.  Whereas Mata Nui lived his life among the Agori and was raised to be their king, Makuta was captured by Earth League mercenaries and sold into slavery.  Dr. Marcus Dixon of Destral Laboratories bought him and freed him, then trained him to be his assistant.  He's a genius roboticist, and has a drone army at his disposal.

 

However, Solis Magna was a dying star, and as it started to collapse, it sent insane levels of radiation into Bara Magna's atmosphere.  This radiation created a new wave of uncurable cancers, and after a brief struggle, the Earth League quarantined the Solis Magna system.  They cut off all communications, set up a network of drones to shoot down any spacecraft that tried to leave, and most importantly, shut down the portal connecting it to the rest of the League.

 

And this is all fine and dandy for Makuta, who hates the League with a burning passion.  So when the Toa Inika break into the quantum gate's interior to try and re-open the portal, Makuta is there.  And he'll do anything he can to stop them.

 

Makuta's power is Shadow.  He can morph his body into shadow, use 'hard shadow' projections - usually in tandem, turning his body into an inky, frictionless, fifty-pound shadow and hurling himself at someone.  Or, as in the picture, shoot out dozens of smaller shadow tentacles to confront multiple opponents at once.  The red triangles on his lab coat and clothes aren't just for decoration, they're ports he can open and launch these tentacles out from, without taking off his coat or triggering his armor.  His changeling DNA gives him an appearance of perpetual youth, a trick he finds useful for gaining people's trust.  As much raw power as he can use, he prefers to fight on a more... psychological level.

 

Anyhow, hope you like... whatever this is.  Comments and criticism are welcome!
