Junior Shark

IC (Torak): Torak sighed internally. He had really hoped no one would see him slowly coming back to life. Ah well, I'm going to have to get up sooner or later. Might as well be at the expense of another. Still a little numb, he reached up and took the proffered spear, pulling himself up.

IC (Torak): Torak opened his eyes. That cop had done something to him, and now he was on the ground. Feeling was slowly coming back into his extremities. That's what 'cha get for bein' handsy. He was keen to not let this act against him go without retaliation, but the newcomer was a variable he didn't feel like dealing with. Laying on the ground seemed to be the best option for now. Maybe there's a bar in this Koro that hasn't been destroyed in a fit of righteous zeal. My condolences to the poor saps who are gonna have to deal with the paperwork. May the Great Spirit have mercy on your souls.

+1 for Lewa. If not him, then Gali.

What if the revived Ekimu is home to... wait for it.... Makuta's spirit? He's pulling a Dume all over again.

IC (Torak): Torak blinked. Then blinked again. Who in the name of the unholy spawn of a Nui-Jaga and Takea shark union is this? A Toa- maybe? Probably. The scent of "bumbling, meddling, do-gooder" is so bad I could puke. And "punishment"? The last time a lovely female Onu-Skakdi said that to me, it was a little good. Mostly bad, though.... A shiver of repulsion runs down Torak's spiked spine.

"Peanuts" - The Police

Found OG and mint-condition vinyl copies of Outlandos d'Amour by The Police, So by Peter Gabriel and Aja by Steely Dan at a local thrift shop.

IC (Torak): "Assault? Officer, I don't even know the meaning of the word." Torak withdraws his arm. "And, if I may say so, your breath smells like it was kissed by the Great Spirit himself." Torak beams a broad, toothy grin before saying, "And the way you put your hand on my neck? A very original way to bring down a crisis situation. Regardless of the fate of these rabble-rousers, my offer for a drink still stands...." He extends his hand towards the tan Skakdi.

Yep, works like a charm. Thanks!

IC (Torak): "The name's Torak, bub." *Puts arm around Ferellis' shoulder [Autohitting?]* "Look, officer, you know that I know that we know that this mild incident is nothing to write home about, much less file paperwork on. And besides, we've got Toa among the 'perpetrators'. They've got all o' that 'Unity, Duty, Destiny' mumbo-jumbo. If they destroyed this bar, surely there were some real scummy types inside, or it was their Destiny or Duty to do so, no? There's plenty of other bars in Le-Koro, goodness knows. What do you say we grab a drink at one of 'em?"

What, no love for the dark orange? And the forearms are already beefed up a bit. I'm having trouble posting the BB codes from Flickr on the browser I'm using right now, but expect beefier forearms by tonight! Double post, but I've added some updated pictures. Edit: Double post merged. -Wind-

IC (Torak): Torak watched as the tan Skakdi confronted the motley assortment of toa and matoran. He didn't see what the issue was- it had been an ugly bar in the first place, and everyone knew the barkeep watered down the drinks. As far as he was concerned, the destruction of the bar had been a public service. And that toa of sonics- Torak liked his style. Should he go see what's what? Should he? He was. Torak stepped from the shadows of the alley and began towards the congregation in the street. OOC: Yezzz BZPRPG!

Name: Torak Species: Ga-Skakdi Gender: Male Alignment: Chaotic Neutral, but Lawfully respects those he is under contract to (mostly). Technology, Items, and Weapons: - Protosteel sword. This gently curved, wickedly sharp sword was Torak's payment for a past job. Technically, the job was to protect the sword, but that's beside the point. The blade's shine and sharpness have not diminished despite years of combat. (This weapon approved by Nuju Metru) - Telescope. Torak resents nothing more than going into a situation uninformed. - Iron knuckles. Literally. Torak has large large iron bits permanently set in his knuckles. These give him an edge in hand-to-hand combat. Powers: - In theory, Torak has elemental water powers. His reticence to associate with other Skakdi has given him little opportunity to use them. - Impact vision. A favorite of Torak's, used to surprise enemies or when a battle is turning sour. Personality and Traits: Torak's Skakdi temper has been, well, tempered by spending most of his time around non-Skakdi. His now semi-amiable nature is only to further his own agenda. He is cunning, patient, opportunistic, deceptive, and calculating. Torak abhors being uninformed, and rarely acts on instinct or feeling. Despite this, he is still (mostly) flexible if taken by surprise. He has an eye for rare or valuable historical artifacts, and many of the artifacts he has been contracted to protect have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Though his primary occupation is opportunistic employee, Torak still has (selfish) leadership skills. Physically, Torak is tall and imposing. His strength lets him stand toe-to-toe with most beings short of Pakari users. He is also a skilled swordsman. Weaknesses: Torak's armor isn't the best, and he can be brought down by strong blows. This and his lack of a shield or other handheld defense also make him weak to ranged attacks. He can be brought down by mental or elemental attacks, save water, which his latent water elemental powers make him immune to. He also has a fear of being underground. He also tends to be an insufferable know-it-all, and can't resist telling other beings their business. This gets him in trouble often. History: Torak has always been a mercenary, and always will be. For him, there's only two things in life: jobs, and the boring stuff in between. He was recently involved in an expedition to retrieve a sunken "treasure" off the coast of Le-Wahi. At least he thinks he was- his short-term memory is a little fuzzy at the moment. Name: Nokula Species: Le-Matoran Kanohi: Noble Matatu Gender: Female Alignment: Chaotic Good Description: In size and build, Nokula is an average matoran. Her armor is mostly dark green, with other shades mixed in. Her hands and forearms are bound tightly in cloth. She wears a light jacket, dusty brown in color. Around her neck she wears a small Mata Nui stone on a simple twine necklace. She wears her rucksack almost all the time. Technology, Items, and Weapons: - Volo Lutu launcher. Useful for adventuring and gaining an edge in combat with larger beings. - A large rucksack. Used to carry anything and everything she needs. Current contents include a telescope, notebook, toolkit, maps of the island, rope, and most importantly snacks! - A small machete with a serrated edge. Intended for practical use rather than combat. - Staff. Made of fire-hardened wood from Le-Wahi. Nokula can attach a blade she keeps in her rucksack to the tip of the staff, turning it into a spear. - Small, circular shield. Made of metal, and engraved with letters. Powers: Latent elemental air powers. Personality and Traits: Nokula's cheer and goodwill are irrepressible. She tries to see the best in everyone she comes across and strives to create harmony among the inhabitants of Mata Nui. However, her cheer masks a wicked cynical streak. One cannot travel like she has and not seen the worst in beings. The Mata Nui stone she wears used to remind her of the promise of the Great Spirit, but that faith has slowly eroded over time. Although she is a Le-Matoran, Nokula would rather have her feet on solid ground than on a high branch. She has picked up various skills on her travels around the island. She is skilled with tools and machinery, and loves to tinker. Quick on her feet. Weaknesses: As a matoran, Nokula does not have size or strength on her side. She is also prone to taking risks, and tends to jump into situations without considering the consequences. History: Nokula has been adventuring since she was old enough to leave Le-Wahi. She has visited every region of the island, and made many friends along the way. Name: Okeinu Species: Onu-Toa Gender: Male Kanohi: Great Pakari Alignment: Neutral Good Description: Above average height and muscular, Okeinu looks every bit the part of an Onu-Toa. From his wide shoulders, his body narrows down to his feet. His armor is primarily black, with orange accents on his shoulders and thighs. His mask is orange as well. Technology, Items, and Weapons: - Two curved tunneling axes [Gali Mata hooks]. Okeinu's toa tools have served him well. They focus his elemental powers. He can use them to dig through the earth and climb mountains. Combined with his Pakari, they make potent weapons. In combat, they can grab opponents, remove masks, slash wickedly, and be thrown. They can be attached to form a short staff, with one blade at each end. Powers: Okeinu is completely in touch with his earth powers. His Pakari boosts his already tremendous strength. Personality and Traits: Okeinu is as serene and solid as a mountain. He is good-natured, with a strong sense of humor. Okeinu fervently sees the best in every being that crosses his path. His belief in goodness guides his every action. He strives to help everyone, and is loyal to a fault. He will almost always attempt to sort out a heated situation through talk and discussion. Violence is never his first response. Okeinu values every being's opinion, and travels the island in order to meet beings from every walk of life. The sanctity of life is also important to Okeinu, and he has never taken a life. Of the Three Virtues, Okeinu values Unity most. Though currently a lone wolf, he is by no means a poor team player. As long as he has traveled he has searched for like-minded toa to team with. His inability to find them causes him great sorrow and loneliness, especially when remembering the great toa teams of the island, the Mata and Maru. Weaknesses: Trusting to a fault. Susceptible to deception. Not the quickest toa, physically. History: Okeinu is a wanderer. He has crossed Mata Nui every which way, doing Toa stuff. Name: Species: Araka Gender: Male Element: Shrink and Enlarge Description: Technology, Items, and Weapons: Powers: Personality and Traits: Weaknesses: History:

Thanks! I took your advice and gave him some forearm armor. I'll get pics up later.

Sweetness. Thanks!

How do you link to a specific post in a topic? I.E. a BZRPG profile post I want in my signature.

The Skakdi warrior Torak. He wields a wickedly sharp protosteel blade and his armor is dotted with the teeth of less-skilled Skakdi foes. At one point, he was involved in a lucrative quest for the Mask of Control. Soooo this is my first Bionicle MOC in a solid eight years. Nice. Comments, constructive criticism, deconstructive criticism, complaints, suggestions and gripes all welcome. Thanks for looking! Oh that's embarrassing- I didn't mean to have asymmetry in the back. I actually do have another bushing in LBG. Update! Got some forearm armor and some brass (or Bionicle equivalent. Iron?) knuckles.
