Ekimu the Mask Thief

[Ragnar Lothbrok]

As the Great Beings created their new robot, they noticed that their creations, the Matoran, needed some object to keep them from falling into a comatose state. Thus the first Kanohi Masks were forged. These great masks powered their creations and many species donned their creations. There was a great demand in the first days and new Matoran being built started to heavily rely on these masks. So Angonce in all of his wisdom, created Ekimu, the Mask Maker.

 

 

Ekimu forged many masks for Matoran, and Toa, and Makuta, personally handing the owner their new mask. Other species asked for masks of their own. Soon Ekimu was creating more than a thousand masks a day, each as good as the next. His technique was flawless, his craftsmanship unparalleled.

Finally the Great Beings stopped creating their new people, and the masks were no longer necessary. Ekimu gave his tools to the Matoran so that they could learn the art of mask making, and he vanished.

But not for long. For soon the Barraki were tearing up the land. His masks that he had given personally to the six warlords were discarded. Then not too long after this, the Makuta discarded their Kanohi gifted to them by Ekimu in favour of the immoral Kanohi forged by their leader, Teridax. Ekimu prided himself on his creations, and he felt a red-hot anger tearing through him.

 

 

Collecting the Masks

 

It was then that he decided his new destiny: He must take back the masks from those that he did not deem worthy of wearing them.

 

 

What will Ahkmou do?!

 

 

Ekimu is graced with great accuracy and X-Ray vision. He can wear two Kanohi on the claws attached to his chest, accessing their unique abilities that he bestowed upon them when he does. The horns on his head can create beams of energy, as well as prevent Kraata and Krana from attaching to him.

So there we are. My take on the MU alternative of the new character, Ekimu, that came from experimenting with CCBS as well as trying to create unique heads.

 

C&C appreciated.

Wow, this is really neat! I like the back story that you made that works with the old story. The body is nice, it's nicely evened out, and the head is quite creative, though I find it kinda strange. It kind of makes him look like a rhino, but besides that, it's a really good build. Good Job!

I really like him but I'm not sure on the eyes. They look a bit cartoony compared to what the rest of the being is.
