Flickr Lady Tsetnia was a powerful noblewoman from a thriving realm, until a strange virus corrupted the land's inhabitants. She alone among the ruling class adapted rapidly from opulence to ordeal, emerging from her arduous escape awakened to her newfound tenacity, latent talent with blasters, and a calling as a bounty hunter. Man, it's been too long hasn't it? Thankfully I've got lots of time to build and post things over the summer. This one started with me contemplating that a Skull Trap could resemble a tattered dress, and everything pretty much flew together from there. The custom mask was commissioned from Modalt. Enjoy!

So, a few questions regarding the Kanohi masks have been circulating in my head for a while, and I thought I'd address them here, for the fine folk of BZP to discuss. :)First of all, if a Kanohi mask can be forged in any shape (thank God for that), is there like a strict (inbuilt?) algorithm that dictates what a given Kanohi mask would look like when it turns from Great to Noble? If so, is it connected only to the mask's physical shape or does its power also play a role in the process? Say, if someone were to make a Great Kanohi Hau in the shape of a Great Kanohi Huna, and gave it to a Toa who would later become a Turaga, would the Great Hau that looks like a Great Huna become a Noble Hau that looks like a Noble Huna or what? And what if someone made a Great Kanohi Huna in the shape of a Noble Kanohi Huna, what would that look like if it turned Noble? Oh, and are there any circumstances that would allow a Noble mask to turn into a Great one?And what are the mechanics of a Kanohi mask being "transformed", i.e. basically undergoing a process that alters it into an entirely different Kanohi? Like in the Inika becoming the Mahri case.Furthermore, if Toa can use powerless/Matoran masks, as well as Great and Noble ones, tapping into each category's full potential, and Matoran have been seen to wear Great and Noble masks, but only being able to use their life-sustaining powers, could a Turaga wearing a Great Kanohi mask technically use it to a "Noble extent"? We've never seen a case like this in the story, but I think it would make sense.Moving on, Kanohi Nuva are formed by regular masks being exposed to EP, right? So I take it the Kanohi Nuva would also be split into several categories? Say, if a Turaga were destined to become a Turaga Nuva (or, more easily, if an already existing Toa Nuva became a Turaga), their masks would become Noble Nuva masks, correct? Which means pretty much Noble Kanohi that the wearer could share with those among them? But can only a "Nuva" being utilize a Kanohi Nuva, and if not, to what extent would a regular Kanohi-wearing being be able to actually use a Kanohi Nuva?The other thing that's been bothering me is, whatever is exposed to EP would either perish or transform, depending on its destiny (or lack thereof?), right? So what if I hypothetically came across the Kanohi Vahi, and tossed it into a pool of Energized Protodermis? What do you guys think the consequences would be in either scenario?EDIT: Hm, I just read on BS01 that the Kanohi Ignika could revert/restore a Turaga back to a Toa, so that's the perfect prerequisite for a Noble mask becoming Great.
