Makuta Almanax

Profile Notes: PURPLE means any kind of update since the original profile was set up (through character development, battle, etc) Name: Litozen (Lee-TOH-zen) Species: Toa Gender: Male Element: SonicsAlignment: Officially aligned with Makuta (Chaotic Evil) Kanohi: Mahiki Matatu, Great mask of Telekinesis (Dark grey with black scope) Powers and/or weapons:Litozen, being a Toa of Sonics, possesses the normal abilities for his element; controlling sound waves, creating them, and absorbing them. He has naturally heightened hearing. Regarding his weapons, he carries a sword-sized Tuning Fork which can create violent vibrations if hit with a metal object. This weapon is normally kept on his back in a similar way to how the Toa Metru carry Kanoka disks in the movies. Fortunately for him, he was given the appropriate training to master his abilities so that he would not be too vulnerable to his own powers. His Tuning Fork has been damaged. Personality and history: Some would call Litozen a cold individual, and they'd be right; however, he only acts cold towards those he considers to be a threat. In actuality, he is a kind individual who tries to have a life other than his duty unless called to. His love of fellow members of the Matoran species, including Turaga, means that he will happily do anything to help them. That said, he holds any other Toa to be a potential threat unless proven otherwise and usually refrains from calling them 'brothers'.He can't quite remember his origins, but he knows that he has spent many years travelling around across different lands just for the sake of meeting them. During one of his travels he heard legends of 'Makuta' and became quite enthralled with them. he has since taken a pro-Makuta stance in any social aspect. He once had a fellow Toa who betrayed him long ago, almost killing him, which is part of the reason for his coldness. A detailed description of his appearance: As a Toa of Sonics, Litozek has a grey and black colour scheme. Standing slightly taller than most Toa, at about 7'4" as opposed to the normal 7', he seems to stand out in a crowd of his own kind. His armour consists of gunmetal grey shoulder blades and chestplates, the latter of which has his poison-green heartlight square in the middle behind a small, tansparent barrier akin to glass. His thighs are also protected with lighter-coloured padded armour. The parts of his body that are unarmored or in the very least have less armor than the rest; his lower legs, arms, neck and back - seem rather normal as far as the mechanical-to-organic-matter ratio goes. His actual torso and hands are a 'Teridax' grey while his limbs are all coloured black. His eyes, much like his heartlight, are two shades of green (see Vakama after he turns evil in the third movie if you don't understand). Interestingly, his chest armour has a 'U' shape on his torso which pokes up on either side of his body, similar to Mahri Jaller. His armour has several hairline fractures. Weakness(es) Despite receiving the necessary training, Litozen is still susceptable to his own abilities. In particular, too much noise can greatly weaken or in the least anger him. To combat this he tries using his powers to lessen the impact of sound waves around him. Obviously though, he can't do this all of the time and as such has to be careful in noisy areas, like Kohlii matches (which he tries to avoid). He also has a fear of heights brought upon by a time he fell off a Gukko Bird. While he has no other elemental-weaknesses, any form of power which creates a vacuum renders any and all of his powers useless. UPDATES: - His original Kanohi was destroyed and replaced with a Matatu.- He has now chosen to walk a truly evil path and 'let go' of his desire to protect the Matoran above all else. ________________________________________ Name: Thentyle Species: Onu-Toa Gender: Male Description:Thentyle has a fairly short stature owing to his smaller-than-average torso, which also makes him appear somewhat stocky. His chest has some basic gunmetal grey armour with a bright orange heartlight in the middle, while his shoulders are clad in bulky metal which has been infused with Lightvine Essence to give off a dim glow. Because he is built of mining he has large silver hands (similar to Makuta Teridax's set design) with orange organic muscle intertwined with his mechanical body. On his legs are two claw guards and his feet are elongated at the back by means of clawed heels which let him keep his ground when tunnelling. His kanohi, a Great Ruru (black), has rusted over the edges and eyes due to prolonged contact to water. Like most Onu-matoran (and consequentially toa and turaga), Thentyle has light green eyes. Picture: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Chirthorpe/RandomFolder/thentyle_drawn.png Kanohi: Ruru, Great Mask of Night Vision Powers and/or weapons:As an Onu-Toa, Thentyle has excellent mining abilities, although his hands (while larger than normal) are not appropriate for digging. As such, he uses a Tunnel Spear as a mining tool. His Kanohi Ruru gives him the ability to see in even total darkness by illuminating it, although due to the gradual corrosion of his mask its powers have lessened so that he cannot use the minor x-ray abilities that normally come with it. The claws on his heels give him better footing but make running more of a challenge for him. Alignment: Good but easily swayed. Bio Thentyle began his life as a Matoran in a small village where every day was a battle to survive, not to different from Mata Nui today. His life had been changed on one day when he dug up a Toa Stone which appeared to have been long-lost. Quite by accident, Thentyle had activated the stone and received Toa Power along with his new Toa form. He spent many years slowly understanding the basics of his powers while helping his friends. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances involving major flooding and mass drowning, he eventually had to flee to the island of Mata Nui. During the cataclysmic event which had forced his hand this way, his mask experienced some prolonged water exposure and developed a strange kind of rust which is slowly sapping away its abilities. Once on Mata Nui he immediately began a search to make new acquaintences and help those that needed it.PersonalityAs far as his personality goes, Thentyle could be considered generous to a fault; he is willing to help others almost without question due to his life in the village and as a result can end up helping the wrong people. While he has some fighting ability, he prefers to sort civil issues out peacefully if possible. He tends to prefer being in dark locations and dislikes intense light, although he can put up with it when he has to, such as in Po-Wahi. Unusually, he also has a liking for sports more than Onu-Matoran usually would. Weakness He is very susceptible to bright lights and suffers from an acute form of PTSD due to the event that led him to Mata Nui which causes him to become rather emotional whenever he remembers it, leading him to bury the memories as best he can, and he has developed slight Hydrophobia. He also has a blind spot directly behind him, as his shoulders are too high up and obscure some of his peripheral vision.

I think my computer room, which is full with Bionicles to the point I'm almost buried in them at my desk, gives a definite "I LOVE BIONICLES" message. I think I phased out around the Voya Nui-Underwater story arcs, but I was invested enough to buy sets with Phantoka and Mistika. All in all, I've grown more and moe attached to its story. The only thing I can ever dislike is the cheap, easy-to-break plastic the Inika onwards sets were. Seriously, I've lost so many connectors. Always the socket, never the ball joint.

Oh, thanks. I know the legs are a tad bland but I was working with what I had at the time. I must admit I'm surprised people like the Torso so much. I do indeed have all of the original Rahkshi. However, their thighs have been mostly distributed into some other MOCs. I think I have a few spare ones lying around, though. The main issue of replacing the thighs with the original Rahkshi ones, though, would be that I would wind up with Triple-Joint legs unless I do some kind of...hm...I think I have an idea. I'll get back to you on that! EDIT: MOC modified and new pictures up on the OP.

Okay, first MOC I'm posting here. It's a Rahkshi built from scratch with a Silver Body and Black limbs. I did want to give it a specific power, but when I checked the list of Rahkshi powers alongside the colour schemes I was rather depressed that I couldn't find one that matched. The closest was Chain Lightning, which uses a silver body with silver limbs. I wasn't sure that it was the power I wanted to use, though. While I made up a 43rd power based on Sonics for the upload of this on my dA, here I'd rather leave the floor open to suggestions on its power. Anyway, Wavrahk (named such because of the aforementioned idea of it being a modified Sonics Rahkshi) was an attempt to make a Rahkshi with fully-articulated arms and legs, unlike any of the set versions. I based his design on a different Rahkshi MOC I built which used the yellow Stars Rahkshi's kraata-less body. However, the Wavrahk version needed an actual Kraata Chamber built on it, which made the end result slightly taller, bulkier, and gave it an extra ball joint on the front which I later used to add on a Vacuum Shield 'collar' which reminds me of those Elizabethan pictures. EDIT: Based on feedback, I have made modifications to the legs and added Silver arm-armour. Based on this, I would say it has sufficient silver on its limbs to fit the colour coding for being a Rahkshi of Chain Lightning. Granted that means its name 'Wavrahk' no longer makes much sense, but then again neither does the Rahkshi of Hunger (Vorahk) in comparison to the other 5. Anyway, the pictures are now separated; the original model is 'V.1.0', and modifications are 'V.1.1' and so forth.

What of it?*NOTE: I know the thighs on their own look a tad bland in themselves. I am considering adding silver Bohrok eyes to them to make it look a bit less...boring. Honestly I wish the Rahkshi Thigh piece came in other colours. I greatly appreciate any feedback!

Ooh, nice! Its a seemingly simple creation and yet works to great effect. I, like most people here, particularly like the torso. Then again, I'm a sucker for any Bionicle MOC that also uses lego bricks. Though if I were to suggest anything - only in my eyes though - I would perhaps suggest different feet or legs, since the hands are a different colour to the arm, the feet being the same colour seems just a slight bit jarring.Other than that, it's a nice build that I can appreciate!
