Makuta MOC: Sinitrax

[DaRkDroid13]

Sinitrax is a renegade Makuta and member of the Brotherhood of Makuta. Like all other Makuta, he was created out of Antidermis by the Great Spirit Mata Nui on one of the Southern Islands, and was tasked with creating Rahi life. Even whilst he vowed to serve the Great Spirit, he showed a tendency towards cruel or merciless behavior as evidence by his violent actions during the Matoran Civil War on Metru Nui. After the War, he was designated to be the Makuta of Ankor Nui, a large island chain in the Matoran Universe. He also participated in defeating the League of Six Kingdoms. Once Teridax revealed his grand plan to overthrow the Great Spirit, Sinitrax showed great enthusiasm for the idea, as he purported that the Makuta species was superior to other forms of life and should rule the universe. He killed other Makuta who sided with Miserix, and then began to conduct experiments on Rahi and the native inhabitants of Ankor Nui by abducting them in order to create living weapons.

When conflict between the Dark Hunters and Brotherhood of Makuta began, the Dark Hunters caused trouble on Ankor Nui and Sinitrax unintentionally saved Ankor Nui by crushing the Dark Hunters guerilla force without mercy, but afterwards it was revealed Sinitrax had other dark plans, and did not have the best interest of the natives at heart. 

A Toa of Iron named Zavik, vowed to protect Ankor Nui's villagers from Sinitrax, and almost defeated him, but in the last moments, Sinitrax got the upperhand and had Zavik killed. Sinitrax oversaw the killings of other Toa, mainly Toa of Iron or Magnetism, as part of the Brotherhoods decree to wipe out wielders of those respective elements. Ankor Nui was left without a solid Toa team but the Matoran gathered together to banish Sinitrax from the islands, and he used a remote island for his new lair. 

Inspired by Mutran and his work with Shadow Leeches, Sinitrax began an idea to create a Toa of Shadow, and he targeted a Po-Matoran named Yoalli. He was successful and kept Yoalli under his close supervision and guidance, making him do dirty work for the Brotherhood. However, Yoalli began to question his authority as time went on and then rebelled against Sinitrax. He engaged Sinitrax in a battle and inflicted heavy damage upon him, and then Yoalli fled. Sinitrax vows to destroy his own creation for turning against him. Sinitrax has created different types of deadly Rahi beings, has a specialty for insect control, and maintains a large personal army of Rahkshi, Visorak, and robotic servants, as many sentient beings fear to work for him. He has also hired (and subsequently betrayed) Dark Hunters.

these feels a little too close to icerax to be his own thing, but those legs are cool

[Master Inika]

Agreed, he's very Icarax-derivative, but the leg extensions do give him some uniqueness. I feel like it's questionable in both story and physical set terms to give him a Kraahkan, though. The story already had to jump through some hoops to explain why Icarax and Teridax both wore it

Thank you guys for the feedback:) yeah Icarax obviously inspired the design but I do hope to revamp and change him to make him more unique
