Confederated Inter-Related Collaborative League of Epics

 

Once again I'd like to welcome everyone, now straight to more business.

 

NOTICE: Henceforth any "NAY" vote without an explanation will be disregarded.

 

The yet again revised eighth article proposed by Erebus Nuva & Toa_Ausar is as follows:

Erebus Nuva: Toa of Darkness & Toa_Ausar hereby propose that within "The C.I.R.C.L.E. Universe" there existed a one-of-a-kind Kanohi known as the Zaethos (ZEE-thohs), Great Mask of Mimicry, which granted the user the capacity to duplicate the mask powers of not only his allies, but also his opponents, that were located in the immediately surrounding area. This lone Kanohi Zaethos was subsequently exposed to Energized Protodermis, at which point it transformed into a Zaethos Nuva, an enhanced version of the Great Mask of Mimicry, which now provides the user with the ability to boost the replicated mask power to Nuva levels. The sole Kanohi Zaethos Nuva currently in existence within "The C.I.R.C.L.E. Universe" is worn by Toa Erebus Nuva.

 

Furthermore, all members of "The C.I.R.C.L.E." agree that at no time will they create or utilize a character that bears a Kanohi Zaethos in their future storylines, aside from the character of Erebus Nuva of course, without first discussing it within "The C.I.R.C.L.E." and once again bringing this issue to a vote.

 

Now, feel free to discuss this proposal in this thread and then vote.

 

All in favor vote "AYE".

 

All opposed vote "NAY".

 

The revised one-hundred-twenty-third article proposed by Toa_Ausar & Tohunga Tahnok is as follows:

Toa_Ausar & Tohunga Tahnok hereby propose that within "The C.I.R.C.L.E. Universe" there exists a one-of-a-kind Kanohi known as the Keemaru (kee-MAHR-oo), Great Mask of Confusion, which allows the user to temporarily distort a target's sense of time and place, effectively erasing their short-term memories, and opening them up to the false memory suggestions of the user. The sole Kanohi Keemaru currently in existence within "The C.I.R.C.L.E. Universe" is worn by the Makuta Artorius.

 

Furthermore, all members of "The C.I.R.C.L.E." agree that at no time will they create or utilize a character that bears a Kanohi Keemaru in their future storylines, aside from the character of Makuta Artorius of course, without first discussing it within "The C.I.R.C.L.E." and once again bringing this issue to a vote.

 

Now, feel free to discuss this proposal in this thread and then vote.

 

All in favor vote "AYE".

 

All opposed vote "NAY".

 

The one-hundred-fifty-third article proposed by Kohila is as follows:

Kohila hereby proposes that within "The C.I.R.C.L.E. Universe" there exist Kanohi known as Halb (HAHLB), the Great Mask of Sonics, which allow the user to create "white noise" to conceal various actions, as well as to manifest disorganized sound waves, often causing pain to a target, in addition to breaking a target's concentration.

 

Now, feel free to discuss this proposal in this thread and then vote.

 

All in favor vote "AYE".

 

All opposed vote "NAY".

 

The one-hundred-fifty-fourth article proposed by Kohila is as follows:

Kohila hereby proposes that within "The C.I.R.C.L.E. Universe" there exist Kanohi known as Jotar (JOH-tahr), the Great Mask of Insect Control, which grant the user the ability to summon any insectoid Rahi in the surrounding area to do their bidding. However, the user must be careful to maintain concentration or else the Rahi will become uncontrolled, furthermore the larger the combined mass of the insectoid Rahi being manipulated, the more difficult the mask-user's influence is to maintain.

 

Now, feel free to discuss this proposal in this thread and then vote.

 

All in favor vote "AYE".

 

All opposed vote "NAY".

 

The one-hundred-fifty-fifth article proposed by Zorrakh is as follows:

Zorrakh hereby proposes that within "The C.I.R.C.L.E. Universe" there exists a one-of-a-kind Kanohi known as the Krataka (krah-TAH-kah), Great Mask of Infection, which permits the user to infect a target mask, giving control and sway of the infected Kanohi's user to any nearby Makuta, by way of difficult concentration while the user is physically touching the target Kanohi. It is possible that a target Kanohi might also be infected if it is in sight of the Krataka wearer, although this would take far more concentration to infect than most inhabitants capable of wearing this Kanohi would possess. The sole Kanohi Krataka currently in existence within "The C.I.R.C.L.E. Universe" is worn by the Horrakah Zorrakh, but only when he is in his Toa form. Toa wouldn't typically wear this mask because they feel its' power is immoral and is also associated with the Makuta, but Zorrakh is certainly not a typical Toa.

 

Furthermore, all members of "The C.I.R.C.L.E." agree that at no time will they create or utilize a character that bears a Kanohi Krataka in their future storylines, aside from the character of Horrakah Zorrakh of course, without first discussing it within "The C.I.R.C.L.E." and once again bringing this issue to a vote.

 

Now, feel free to discuss this proposal in this thread and then vote.

 

All in favor vote "AYE".

 

All opposed vote "NAY".

 

The one-hundred-fifty-sixth article proposed by Cap'n K is as follows:

Cap'n K hereby proposes that within "The C.I.R.C.L.E. Universe" there exist Kanohi known as Ragmos (RAGG-mohs), the Great Mask of Relaxation, which allow the user to cause a target to be filled with a carefree feeling of ease and forget the world around them because of the sensation. This mask, however, must be used with caution because while the user is accessing its' powers they must remain focused on the target with a high level of concentration and therefore may also become susceptible to surrounding danger themselves.

 

Now, feel free to discuss this proposal in this thread and then vote.

 

All in favor vote "AYE".

 

All opposed vote "NAY".

 

The one-hundred-fifty-seventh article proposed by Toa_Ausar is as follows:

Toa_Ausar hereby propose that within "The C.I.R.C.L.E. Universe" there exist Kanohi known as Rongoa (rahn-GOH-uh), the Great Mask of Poison Removal, which provide the user with the capacity to slow and ultimately cure the effects of most toxic substances within others, and occasionally themselves, though the level of concentration required for self-healing is often too exhausting for a mind and body already combating a noxious substance.

 

Furthermore, it should be noted that although the effects of Hordika Venom cannot be reversed, the primal urges of others can be somewhat managed, and the eventual mental transformation may possibly be slowed for a limited amount of time. It is unknown if there are other toxins which may exhibit similar resistance to the mask's antidote powers.

 

Now, feel free to discuss this proposal in this thread and then vote.

 

All in favor vote "AYE".

 

All opposed vote "NAY".

 

The one-hundred-fifty-eighth article proposed by Cap'n K is as follows:

Cap'n K hereby proposes that within "The C.I.R.C.L.E. Universe" there exist Kanohi known as Szinoar (ZIGHN-oh-ahr), the Great Mask of Random Reconstitution, which grant the user the ability to fire a bolt of energy at a target and therefore randomly scramble the inorganic molecules of the target for a period of time that is directly dependant upon how much concentration was invested in manifesting the bolt. The mask's power, therefore, can have either positive or negative effects and the wearer of the mask has no control over the severity of the result, nor the result itself, thus the mask must be used with extreme caution.

 

An example of its' use would be striking a Matoran with an energy bolt and causing their armor to break out in sharp spikes though there would be no effect to the villagers organic parts.

 

Now, feel free to discuss this proposal in this thread and then vote.

 

All in favor vote "AYE".

 

All opposed vote "NAY".

 

The one-hundred-fifty-ninth article proposed by Cap'n K & Toa_Ausar is as follows:

Cap'n K & Toa_Ausar hereby propose that within "The C.I.R.C.L.E. Universe" there exist Kanohi known as Tupato (too-PAH-toh), the Great Mask of Warning, which alert the user of approaching danger by glowing dully and providing the user with a strong premonition. The mask only activates if the user does not suspect the perceived danger and also is calibrated by the user's own perception of what is dangerous and what is not.

 

Now, feel free to discuss this proposal in this thread and then vote.

 

All in favor vote "AYE".

 

All opposed vote "NAY".

 

The one-hundred-sixtieth article proposed by ChocoLvr13 & Toa_Ausar is as follows:

ChocoLvr13 & Toa_Ausar hereby propose that within "The C.I.R.C.L.E. Universe" there exist Kanohi known as Uruk (OO-rook), the Great Mask of Sleep, which permit the user to survive for extremely long periods of time in a state of hibernation, effectively slowing the effects of aging upon themselves. Furthermore, the user can slow down multiple targets within the immediately surrounding area, with effects ranging from hindered reflexes to grogginess to deep sleep, depending upon the duration and level of the user's concentration.

 

Now, feel free to discuss this proposal in this thread and then vote.

 

All in favor vote "AYE".

 

All opposed vote "NAY".

 

The one-hundred-sixty-first article proposed by Toa_Ausar is as follows:

Toa_Ausar hereby proposes that within "The C.I.R.C.L.E. Universe" there exist the following Kanohi Kaita:
  • Ahn (AHN), the Mask of Reinforcement, which gives its' user the powers of Kindred, Reanimation, and Summoning. This mask manifests in the shape of a silver Great Kanohi Zatth.
  • Ewa (OO-uh), the Mask of Honor, which gives its' user the powers of Accuracy, Fate, and Flight. This mask manifests in the shape of a golden Great Kanohi Calix.
  • Gau (GOW), the Mask of Strategy, which gives its' user the powers of Gravity, Sonar, and Stealth. This mask manifests in the shape of a golden Great Kanohi Arthron.
  • Moa (MOH-uh), the Mask of Acuity, which gives its' user the powers of Detection, Spirit, and Telepathy. This mask manifests in the shape of a silver Great Kanohi Suletu.
  • Nek (NEHK), the Mask of Wile, which gives its' user the powers of Concealment, Mind Control, and Night Vision. This mask manifests in the shape of a golden Great Kanohi Huna.
  • Oja (OH-jah), the Mask of Reverie, which gives its' user the powers of Illusion, Telekinesis, and Translation. This mask manifests in the shape of a silver Great Kanohi Mahiki.
Furthermore, as is the case with all Kanohi Kaita, the powers can be activated simultaneously or separately.

 

Now, feel free to discuss this proposal in this thread and then vote.

 

All in favor vote "AYE".

 

All opposed vote "NAY".

 

The one-hundred-sixty-second article proposed by Toa_Ausar is as follows:

Toa_Ausar hereby proposes that within "The C.I.R.C.L.E. Universe" the yet unnamed Kanohi shall henceforth be known as the following:
  • Doite (DOY-the), Mask of Sensory Aptitude
  • Enkore (ehn-KOHR-eh), Mask of Biomechanics

Until such time as their Canon names are revealed.

 

Now, feel free to discuss this proposal in this thread and then vote.

 

All in favor vote "AYE".

 

All opposed vote "NAY".

 

The one-hundred-sixty-third article proposed by Toa Zahaku & Toa_Ausar is as follows:

Toa Zahaku & Toa_Ausar hereby proposes that within "The C.I.R.C.L.E. Universe" the yet unnamed Mask of Clairvoyance shall henceforth be known as one of the following until such time as the Canon name is revealed:
  • Option "A" - Kilaryon (KEE-layr-yahn)
  • Option "B" - Henumi (heh-NOO-mee)
Now, feel free to discuss this proposal in this thread and then vote.

 

If you prefer the first option then vote "A".

 

If you prefer the second option then vote "B".

163: option B

 

Well, I like them all. I approve them all. The Kanohi ideas and everything else are great, and the names given to the unnamed Kanohi are all good, as are the new Kaita Kanohi names and titles. I see no problems with anything.

8: Aye.

123: Aye; although I'm not sure why such a mask would be one-of-a-kind?

153: Aye, a good description for the elemental mask.

155: Aye, but I think the mask power should be considered immoral by Toa (even though it's a unique Kanohi) because of its affects.

156: Aye.

157: Aye, seems like a good interpretation of the Kanoka power.

158: Aye, but could the prononciation possibly be altered to "ZIGHN-oh-ar"?

159: Aye.

160: Aye. A quirky power, but I see nothing wrong with it.

161: Aye. Do I detect Inika/Mahri/Metru Kaita? =D

162: Aye to all of the above except for Kraavohkii. Although it seems to be using the terms for "light" and "shadow" together, the placement of the words make it sound like a slang term, in my opinion =\

163: B

156 - Undecide, Pleasure?

As in, rendering the target so giddy they become useless.

8b- I see nothing too different with this. Thus, AYE.

123a- AYE. Seems like a fun power. Utilized by Makuta and Toa?

153- AYE.

154- AYE.

155- AYE.

156- UNDECIDED. I'm going to need some time to think about this. How would this help one?

157- AYE.

158- AYE.

159- AYE. This is like a version of Gaaki's mask, except hers is used to find the future, and this is present, correct?

160- AYE.

161- AYE. Although the names are quite short, they work.

162- AYE.

163- 'A'.

 

 

All 'AYE's without an explanation are simply because I have no problem or query with the article.

I vote Nay to the first article, seeing as Mimicry is pretty much the same as whatever Pouks's mask is- therefor not ne ofa kind. Also 163, I choose A.

162: Aye to all of the above except for Kraavohkii. Although it seems to be using the terms for "light" and "shadow" together, the placement of the words make it sound like a slang term, in my opinion =\

 

~cap'n k

I agree that the proposed Mask of Infection will absolutely be considered immoral. Also, if "Kraahkan" is Matoran for "Shadows" and "Avohkii" is Matoran for "Light", then it goes to reason that a compound word of the two would mean "Light & Shadows". :shrugs: Lastly, no peeking at several of my upcoming MOCs! :P

 

8b- Depends, is this mask just currently a one of a kind(as in others could be made).

123a- see above

155- See vote to 8b

If approved, the Zaethos, Keemaru, and Krataka would all be one-of-a-kind in the sense that they are each the only specimens of the mask currently in existence, however others of each could be made, it's just that we've simply all agreed not to make another of them without bringing such a matter to a vote.

 

123a- AYE. Seems like a fun power. Utilized by Makuta and Toa?

159- UNDECIDED. This is like a version of Gaaki's mask, except hers is used to find the future, and this is present, correct?

161- AYE. Although the names are quite short, they work.

Personally I don't believe that the Keemaru is any more immoral than the Keerakh were, but it's won't really matter if the mask is deemed "one-of-a-kind". Next, you are correct that a prospective Tupato is different from the Mask of Clairvoyance because it identifies present danger, however Gaaki's Kanohi could also show a future that wasn't dangerous as well. Lastly, I intentionally made the proposed Kanohi Kaita names three letters long so that they would fit better with the Aki and Rua. ;)

 

I vote Nay to the first article, seeing as Mimicry is pretty much the same as whatever Pouks's mask is- therefor not ne ofa kind. Also 163, I choose A.

The Zaethos is really a great deal different from the Sonterah, Mask of Emulation. First of all a Sonterah wearer must see a power in action and analyze it before they can duplicate it. Second, the Sonterah cannot copy other Kanohi powers. Third, the Sonterah can only copy one power at a time. On the other hand, the Zaethos is basically like a reverse Kanohi Nuva. Instead of sharing its' mask power with those around, it borrows the mask powers from any and all Great or Noble Kanohi in the immediately surrounding area, whether the user has seen them in use or not. Let me know if that clears things up for you? Oh, and Tårth, you do realize that you only voted on two of the thirteen articles in this thread, don't you? :???:

 

Now onto my ballot:
  • I vote "
AYE
" on Article 8b.

 

Next, I've decided to vote "
NAY
" on Article 123a, because unlike
, I never envisioned this mask being a one-of-a-kind and thus agree with
here.

 

Meanwhile, I vote "
AYE
" on Articles 153-162 as I see no reason to oppose any of these well described Kanohi, lastly I vote "
B
" on Article 163.

Anyway, that's all for now.

*Whistles* There are a LOT of Kanohi articles here.

 

Article 8B- Aye

Article 123b- Aye

Article 153- Undecided. First of all, I don't see the avantage of making white noise with a mask, when there are already other ways to do so. Also, How much pain is involved? Aye

Article 154- Aye

Article 155- Nay, because, if there is not a Makuta nearby, the mask is useless. Also, having to touch the mask of the person you are trying to control would be very hard, considering that, depending on whoever you are trying to control, getting close enough to do so would be difficult. Furthermore, if most beings can't access the power to infect others in thier sight, how is that aspect of its' power practical? Undecided. Once again, if a Makuta isn't nearby, then there is noone to control the target. Also, the special power of the mask, while being useful, can't be used in most cases, making it impractical.

Article 156- Aye

Article 157- Aye

Article 158- Undecided, leaning towards Nay, as the affects of the mask could be accomplished with a Kanoka disk. Aye

Article 159- Undecided, leaning towards Nay, considering that the mask calibrates itself to the user, while other masks do not. And, although this doesn't affect my decision, A mask of Premonition sounds cooler Undecided, but leaning towards Aye.

Article 160- Nay. How would the wearer be able to concentrate on the mask if he/she is in hibernation? Aye

Aticle 161- Aye. GO KAITA!

Article 162- Aye. I know this is about names, not powers, but would anyone mind telling me what the powers of the masks of Sensory Apptitude, Vulture, Conjuring, Rebounding, and Incomprehension are?

Article 163- Aye, to option B

 

Capn K- The reason that the Keemaru is a one of a kind Kanohi is that, through years of study with Brotherhood science technicans, Artorius created the mask for himself(And if you want to know more about that, you should read some of the upcoming chapters for my Resi Nui epic). Also, when I was creating Artorius in my mind, I imagined him as being the kind of Makuta who wouldn't settle for anything less than the best. Hece, I gave him a special mask.

The way I think of it is- The user takes much of their energy and puts them self into the hibernation for a set period of time- it doesn't have to be held. But it takes massive amounts of energy from the user.

Tohunga Tahnok:

 

Article 153 ~ As is the case in real life, depending upon the decibel level, sound can cause a wide variety of debilitating physical effects ranging from minor irritation, to headaches, to pain so severe that a person loses consciousness. As for the other part of your question regarding Article 153, I'll leave that to Kohilå to answer.

 

Article 155 ~ A few quick points aside from the explanation I'm sure Zorrakh will give here. First, a Makuta need not be present for a mask to be infected for control at some later time. Second, a Kanohi need not be on the target at the time of its' infection. Third, just because typical members of the Matoran species and other weak-minded Kanohi-users don't exhibit the level of concentration necessary to control all aspects of a mask's power doesn't mean those abilities are totally useless.

 

Article 158 ~ Again, I'll leave it to Cap'n K to answer this question for you, but I would like to mention a few counter examples such as the Kiril and Kanoka of Regeneration, the Kualsi and Kanoka of Teleportation, the Obhkui and Kanoka of Enlargement, the Pehkui and Kanoka of Shrinkage, or the Rongoa and Kanoka of Poison Removal, for the record.

 

Article 159 ~ There are other masks such as the Rhokita, which calibrate themselves to the user, meanwhile others, like the Olisi, calibrate themselves to the target. Also, premonition would have been a fine mask description with me, except unlike the wide range of possible premonitions, the prospective mask power is specific to danger and danger alone.

 

Article 160 ~ The user need not concentrate while in hibernation, rather only to put themselves into it at the outset.

 

Article 162 ~ You can find your answers concerning those mask powers here, here, here, here, and here. ;)

 

Let me know if you need further clarification on anything?

 

Until then.

Article 153- Undecided. First of all, I don't see the avantage of making white noise with a mask, when there are already other ways to do so. Also, How much pain is involved?

Article 155- Nay, because, if there is not a Makuta nearby, the mask is useless. Also, having to touch the mask of the person you are trying to control would be very hard, considering that, depending on whoever you are trying to control, getting close enough to do so would be difficult. Furthermore, if most beings can't access the power to infect others in thier sight, how is that aspect of its' power practical?

Article 158- Undecided, leaning towards Nay, as the affects of the mask could be accomplished with a Kanoka disk.

Article 159- Undecided, leaning towards Nay, considering that the mask calibrates itself to the user, while other masks do not. And, although this doesn't affect my decision, A mask of Premonition sounds cooler :psychotwitch:

Article 160- Nay. How would the wearer be able to concentrate on the mask if he/she is in hibernation?

Article 162- Aye. I know this is about names, not powers, but would anyone mind telling me what the powers of the masks of Sensory Apptitude, Vulture, Conjuring, Rebounding, and Incomprehension are?

Tohunga Tahnok:

 

Article 153 ~ As is the case in real life, depending upon the decibel level, sound can cause a wide variety of debilitating physical effects ranging from minor irritation, to headaches, to pain so severe that a person loses consciousness. As for the other part of your question regarding Article 153, I'll leave that to Kohilå to answer.

 

Article 155 ~ A few quick points aside from the explanation I'm sure Zorrakh will give here. First, a Makuta need not be present for a mask to be infected for control at some later time. Second, a Kanohi need not be on the target at the time of its' infection. Third, just because typical members of the Matoran species and other weak-minded Kanohi-users don't exhibit the level of concentration necessary to control all aspects of a mask's power doesn't mean those abilities are totally useless.

Ausar;

 

Article 153- In which case, I will change my vote to Undecided. I'm posotive being able to create white noise whould be effective, but I still think there would be other ways to do that without the concentration needed to use a Kanohi.

Article 155- Still Nay. If there isn't a Makuta around, and the masks allows a Makuta to contol the infected target, I sill don't see how it would be effective. As for the infecting at a glance thing, I'm not saying that it's useless, however, since most beings can't access it, it makes the power impractible, at best.

Article 158- Thanks for the examples. I'd actually forgotten about those. In which case, I change my vote to Aye.

Article 159- Undecided. Bear in mind, the Olisi is a very powerful mask, and therefore would need special calibration for it's wearer.

Article 160- In which case, I change my vote to Aye.

Article 162- Facsinating mask powers, those are.*Waits for someone to get the Star Trek reference*

"AYE" to Article 8b. No reason to oppose.

"AYE" to Article 123a. Again, no reason to oppose.

"UNDECIDED" on Article 153. I don't feel as though "white noise" should be the limit to the mask's sonic power.

"AYE" to Article 154. No reason to oppose.

"AYE" to Article 155. The Kraata power of infection in a mask. Brilliant.

"AYE" to Article 156. Kind of like what Teridax did to the Toa Hagah, right?

"AYE" to Article 157. I may have to find some way to use this one.

"AYE" on Article 158. The power would certainly add a new twist to things.

"AYE" to Article 159. My spidey senes are tingling!

"AYE" to Article 160. No reason to oppose.

"AYE" to Article 161. Again, no reason to oppose.

"AYE" to Article 162. Once again, no reason to oppose.

"AYE, Option B" to Article 162. It simply sounds better.

Ahh, but you guys forgot the second part of the mask's power; the ability to create disorganized sound waves. The mask is very useful when used correctly. Also, "white noise" is as useful as a home base being able to scramble the radio transmissions from an incoming enemy jet; the static noise keeps the jet from contacting their home base.

 

Lastly, I vote "AYE" to Articles 8b, 123a, and 153-162, and vote "Option B" to Article 163.

8: Aye, but just barely.

123, 153, 154: Aye

155: Nay, this just seems a bit too powerful or skewed.

156, 157, 158, 159, 160, 161, 162: Aye

163: A

I'll explain the Krataka when I have the time. I have to let my sister on the computer. :P

 

Aye to Article 8. It's fine with me.

 

Aye to Article 123. It's fine with me. I think we should have some more one-of-a-kind Kanohi.

 

Aye to Article 153. It's an interesting mask.

 

Aye to Article 154.

 

Aye to Article 155. As I said above, I'll explain when I have the time.

 

Aye to Article 156 except for the name. How about Mask of Relaxation?

 

Aye to Article 157.

 

Aye to Article 158.

 

Aye to Article 159.

 

Aye to Article 160. So it's in the shape of an Orc? :P Kidding.

 

Aye to Article 161. We need more Kaitas.

 

Aye to Article 162.

 

Option 'B' for Article 163.

 

EDIT: Tohunga Tahnok: I've got a bit of a backstory behind the mask (the user, more specifically) that I don't really want to reveal unless you would wish to hear it, however there IS a Makuta who controls the infected on Marak Nui where my epic will take place, if I ever get it written up.

Ah, I'm actually in favor of Zorrahk's name "Mask of Relaxation" as opposed to "Pleasure".

Argh, this accursed cold is making me forget things. <_<

To answer what you said, Cap'n, even though I should have had that put in the article, it goes without saying that the mask is considered immoral. However, for clarification's sake, Ausar, I would greatly appreciate it if you could add that in. Thanks.

8b: Aye, no problem with this.

123a: I was going to bring up the potential that Toa would consider this Kanohi immoral, but since for the time being a Makuta wears the only one, I suppose that doesn't matter. Aye.

153: Aye, this is pretty much just giving a name and specifics to an elemental mask that was already implied to exist like the Garai.

154: Aye, no problem with this.

155: Interesting idea; doesn't seem quite useful but for a one-of-a-kind mask it should be fine. Aye.

156: Aye, sounds like a cool power.

157-158: Aye to both; these are like Kanohi versions of those two Kanoka powers, which were implied to exist by masks like the Kiril, Kualsi, and Pehkui.

159: Aye, quite useful.

160: Aye, useful and reasonable.

161: Aye, no problem with any of these.

162: Aye, all these names are tolerable.

163: B, it's just easier on the tongue.

Finally, I can rightfully place my votes in this entry when they are needed the most. :D Alrighty then, here we go:

 

I vote "Aye" to all articles, and to Article 163 I vote for Option B, Henumi. Personally, I want all of the Toa Hagah masks to have similar endings for their names (but where did Pouks' Kanohi go?) As a whole, I think these Kanohi are all cool and creative, and should exist in our C.I.R.C.L.E. universe. In particular, Ausar, I find your Kaita masks for the Toa Metru, Toa Inika, and Toa Mahri to be very ingenious and intriguing. ;)

 

Well, that's my two cents for now.
