Interests
LEGO designer working in Billund on the LEGO City design team.
I have a bachelors degree in Gamedesign and on the side I am continuing to improve my skills as a concept artists and illustrator.
Since it is one of my main activities, I am very much into art-books from Movies and Games and things relating to it: Fantasy, Sci-Fi and regular Fiction all have a place in my book-shelf.
My real expertise lies in putting images from my head onto paper in pencil and ink and in using ye olde Photography Shoppe, where I work a bit of magic with my tablet and trusty computer.
Obviously, though working for LEGO now, I'm still an AFOL. I still build MOCs when I can and I look forward to sharing whatever I get to next with the community! However in-between those occasions you can mostly find me in the BZPRPG.

IC: [Ayiwah - aboard the Ruki] On an intellectual level, she’d assumed that kind of power was a possibility. Seeing it actually demonstrated was…alarming. Sure Aya, let’s find a place to settle down, see what the rest of Mata Nui has to offer - oh nothing, just the first person you run into could be a walking weapon of mass destruction if someone like them played for the other team… She added that to the long list of things to worry about that was piling up in the back of her mind. Actually, that wasn’t fair. It wasn’t a pile. It was a precisely sorted and labeled library of things to worry about. Outwardly, the stoic commanding officer betrayed none of these thoughts and answered the comment about the talent of their artisans with: “They had a very long time to perfect their craft.” “But that abundant resource of our homeland is rare here, so our people need alternative resources - hence this scouting expedition up-river.” .:Let’s hold off on the details until we can learn more about our new friend here.:. OOC: @Geardirector@Mel@Void Emissary

IC: [Ayiwah - aboard the Ruki] .:Then the lone travelers are not very wise:. Ayiwah considered that perhaps her jinbaori was still more ornate than she had figured if this Toa could guess she was in charge at a glance. But she was also standing next to a literal Toroshu, so it was likely the clue was something in her bearing - or a lack of something in Yukie’s? The other thing that stood out to her was the surprise at their crystal effects. How had she heard of their arrival without mention of the crystal fleet. After a long time away from the ubiquity of the material, the shining fleet's arrival had given the commodore a glimpse of how the people of Mata Nui who witnessed them at first must have felt. It was hard to imagine word spreading without mention of that. But she also recognized the familiar glint behind the Toa's back. “I am commodore Ayiwah, and these are my companions.” she returned the introduction. “I take it then that crystal is your element?” OOC: @Geardirector @Void Emissary @Mel
-
IC: [Ayiwah - aboard the Ruki] .:Very well:. Ayiwah replied, switching seamlessly to ideatalk. Even if the Dashi couldn’t reply, they’d be in the loop. .:But let us keep the specific purpose of our journey to ourselves for now:. She gave the other Menti officers a nod and the boat pulled closer to shore, slowing down to match the speed of the current and coming to an almost-stop. The commodore returned the offered wave. “Well-met, Toa. We did not expect lone travelers this far out.” OOC: @Geardirector @Void Emissary @Mel
-
IC: [Ayiwah - aboard the Ruki] Ayiwah nodded reassuringly. “That is the plan, Toroshu. And it’s why this Koro must be built by our own hands. Both for purpose and to have a home…” The commodore trailed off. She had meant to continue, to ask the clan leader to support a home shared by many if not all clans on the island while in exile - at least until they could retake the archipelago. But that little glint ahead up-river had drawn her attention. If there was one thing Dasaka knew, it was the reflection of light upon crystal - like on the hilt of a staff. And in this jungle, that stood out - as did the figure on the riverbank that had just come into view around the next bend. :Eyes up.: The warning thought also contained the information of where the potential threat could be found. With Inzu at the helm, Koso moved forward, shielding the Dashi aboard, while Ayiwah turned to better cover the Toroshu. OOC: @Mel @Void Emissary @Geardirector

IC: [Kohra - Iron Mahi, First Passenger Car] Kohra stood, with her arms covered by her poncho. Her eyes drifted from Datrox to the other Vortixx, looking him over with an intensity that had not been there before. Her Toa companion recognized the icy tone that crept into her voice as she spoke. He’d heard it that morning when he’d offered a comforting hand. “Except you’re a friend short. Maybe it’s time you took a seat.” OOC: Choo choo. @Tarn @Nato G

IC: [Leah - The Great Takea] The duo had spent the night so far asking every likely official contact if they’d registered any of the Matoran they were looking for, even splitting up again for a while to cover more ground, each in their preferred way. “Any luck on your end?” Korero asked, reappearing in a flash. Leah shook her head, still glistening wet. “Nothing yet.” she admitted. Beyond confirming their arrival aboard the Yukanna, which they already could infer from what the empress had told them, neither Marine nor Menti could point them towards the exact group they were looking for so far. Disappointing - but not too surprising. Standout or not, back here a small group of Matoran probably looked more like helpers than new arrivals. Leah sighed, and with a fraction of her power absorbed the water clinging to her. “I could use a snack and a drink. How about you?” she said, tilting her head towards the inn. “Really?” Korero asked doubtfully. “Sure. And we can ask them too while we’re here.” She started towards the entrance. “Besides, the food’s good - and they always serve it with a smile.” She didn’t need to look back to notice the eyeroll. Five minutes later they had two cups and snack bowls - and the information jackpot: one of the Matoran - Lekua - had been confirmed sighted. And by sighted, the server explained, they meant: nearly crashed through the door from the back of a Kahu before making introductions to others in the establishment. No wonder that had stuck in the staff’s memory. They had then proceeded to drink, chat - including with the empress and a dragon that had stopped by - before heading out with company - but not the other Matoran they were looking for. However… “When they left here, they had a Toa with them…gray fellow with pearl armor, yellow eyes, wore what looked like a Mahiki I think.” Leah raised an eyebrow. “Looking a bit anxious perhaps?” she asked. The server nodded. The Maru slapped her hand on the counter, flashed her brother a victorious smile and quietly thanked the great spirit. “We met this morning! They’re a new arrival - the name’s Timak.” OOC: @Ghosthands

IC: [Ayiwah - aboard the Ruki] “As far as as the river will take us and then further on foot.” came the answer to Zyla’s question. Ayiwah indicated their route on the map again. As intimidating as the jungle to either side seemed at first, after the trees didn’t immediately reach down to smother them in greenery and a chance encounter with a pair of Matoran in a canoe coming down river proving they weren’t the only ones venturing out this way, a short while later the surroundings just became the new status quo. The river was still wide and they had a good draft and room to maneuver. So far, so good. She let Inzu take over the helm again for a bit and joined the thus-far quiet Yukie. “How fares your clan, Toroshu?” OOC: @Mel @Void Emissary

IC/ Skrall/ On the road again Skrall had disliked the too-close-for-comfort discussion of her origins already, but the conspiratorial tone the other was striking up now sat even less well with her. Baterra. He was right about one thing: It was a convenient cover for when skrall supremacy came up short due to arrogance, incompetence - or simply screwing up. And yet…the story the former skrall had shared with them about what had happened to his unit was still fresh in her mind and it was not so easily dismissed. But she was facing enough prejudice already without opening herself up to conspiracy. He couldn’t think she’d seriously engage him in this conversation, could he? She shot him a stern glance over her shoulder. “So wise that you’re talking about it now?” OOC: @a goose @skrall

IC/ Skrall/ On the road again She wanted to reply to the speculation, to say that there had been no fight, not with how resigned their prisoner had been, just more talk - but instead, she found herself bristling at the other’s question regarding herself. Others didn’t casually mention skull mountain to her face, even if they suspected… “Been in and out of Roxtus between recons. Maybe our schedules never crossed.” she answered, looking back at the road ahead and the spikit pulling their cart. OOC: @a goose @skrall

IC/ Skrall/ On the road again Jay virtue of holding the reigns, the first warrior looking back at skrall was her. Was she studying him or was that just part of keeping an eye on the road ahead? Eventually though, her gaze moved on. Skrall for her part was mulling things over in her head still. A shadow hung over them, even more so than usual. Or perhaps not unusual after selling one of your own. Maybe deserved, but after seeing what awaited him…but they’d done their duty. And yet... “Long time for a done deal.” She observed after a quiet long time of her own. OOC: @a goose @skrall

IC: [Ayiwah - docks/aboard the Ruki] The commodore took the helm again and they were off. She kept cross checking the map versus a small hourglass - navigating the bay by dead reckoning - but the other two Menti on lookout took the time to point out the occasional school of Takea to the Dashi. Daijuno noticed that these were smaller than the jaws that welcomed people to Rhow’s implied. So they came in larger sizes too. But the Menti were obviously keeping an eye out for even worse and bigger things. But soon enough the water got too shallow again for the sharks. The mouth of the river loomed up ahead, much larger in person than it had appeared to Daijuno at a distance. Trees loomed to either side of the bank. After a few feet, the jungle grew thick enough to completely block the view. The only clear path was the water snaking its way inland. Ayiwah slowed the Ruki down to the appropriate speed and pointed it upstream. OOC: @Void Emissary more of a mood setting post, feel free to keep moving us along.
-
IC: [Ayiwah - aboard the Ruki] She recognized the look on Zyla‘s face. The Dashi understood. As for Daijuno, she didn’t need to see her to know her reaction to the mentioning of authority figures. But they’d address that later… To answer her question, simply saying ‘a dragon told me’ probably wasn’t sufficient, no matter how strange this island was. However, she had checked the recommendation against other sources and found it promising. She continued the Dashi’s trace up the river. “Enough space and fresh water for our people in a defensible position for starters.” OOC: @Void Emissary

IC/ Skrall/ Bonehunter Stronghold/ On the road again Skrall didn’t have to wait long. Now with something to do, skrall didn’t hesitate and boarded the second wagon. She’d briefly contemplated joining Atakus in the first. Part of her wanted to confront him about what they’d just done - but it was done now. She’d done her part in speaking to the other. She hoped they’d cross paths. How things played out from there was up to Him. She took the Spikit reins and urged the beast to hurry after the lead chariot. OOC: @a goose @Burnmad @skrall

IC: [Ayiwah - docks/aboard the Ruki] “The Akiri knows.” Ayiwah confirmed. “It was among the first things we spoke of the night we learned of the arrival.” “But it shouldn’t come as a surprise. We cannot impose upon Ga-Koro’s hospitality indefinitely. And while safe harbor may satisfy for now, once this new reality settles in…you know what Toroshu can be like.” Ayiwah glanced back across the bay. Even at this distance, her beloved Yukanna was still clearly visible. She longed to take her back out to sea…but this took priority. “And we cannot stay aboard our ships…I will have need of them.” OOC: @Void Emissary
-
IC: [Ayiwah - aboard the Ruki] “There’s nothing bold about a fair question. But in light of recent events, answers must wait for the moment.” Ayiwah replied as she put the engine into reverse while Inzu and Koso aided to push the Ruki away from the pier. The Menti were clearly back in their element. The commodore for her part could feel excitement well up inside her. All the planning, studying charts and working the numbers had been dry, exhausting work - but actually getting underway, her hands at the helm and with a clear mission objective - it made it all worth it. The feeling carried over to her body language as well. Daijuno noticed the commodore seemed more at ease somehow. They navigated their way out of the crowded harbor at the fastest possible safe speed until they reached the open waters of the bay. Ayiwah turned them onto a heading that mimicked the typical routes she had observed the local fishers taking. “Brace.” she advised the Dashi, giving them just enough time to grab hold of something before she opened up the throttle. The bow rose sharply, waves rhythmically slapping the bottom of the hull. Once she was certain the boat was running steady, Ayiwah handed off the helm to Inzu and briefly knelt by the railing, reaching a hand over the side into the water while simultaneously scanning the surrounding sea and sky. At the bow, Koso was clearly scanning their surroundings as well. A moment later the two Menti exchanged ‘all clear’ nods and the commodore moved over to sit next to the two Dashi. She produced a map from a larger pouch strapped to her thigh and spread it out so Zyla and Daijuno both could see. The map showed the eastern central section of Mata-Nui, encompassing all of Ga-Wahi, its coastline - but more importantly the rivers feeding into Naho bay. Their eyes were drawn to one of the larger ones on account of the many navigational annotations marking its meandering flow. Ayiwah tapped an area that was very much upstream and then leaned in closely enough so they could hear her. “This is a scouting mission to find a suitable location for Dasaka-Koro.” OOC: @Void Emissary Our little adventure is under way, but if anybody else still wants to join, we can pretend they were along for the ride already 😃
