The Hoodlite Dilemma

I'm back on my chaotic rambling again and it's getting worse! So, I doodled. As you do, with no clear idea as to how I'm going to fix my current issues with my world. Then this lightbulb moment happened!

I wanted to redo how I think about the Hoodlites and just go for it. Make them human but not exactly. Give them normal bodies but completely change their heads and this was the result.

A blank expression cup head with one of the STAB elements on top. It's a silly idea and I love how dumb it looks when I set it next to everyone. The expressions will be different from other variations.

This is to make up for deleting the Owen post and I thought this was a funnier attempt. Make him as goofy as possible and just run with it. I did have this other idea though. Make these new Hoodlites appear like some kind of mutant figure ala [Linkin Park's The Hunting Party]

You can kind of sense that I am disturbed by this dilemma. It's been so long since the Hoodlite-focused post and I am just not feeling the whole little critter approach anymore.

The crux of the lore is still there. Native beings of the Core, Have one of the STAB on them. But compared to what they used to look like, It's a big leap of difference. It also helped me improve my way of shaping the Tide element.

Owen is renamed by the way. Gone, gone the form of "Owen", Arise the Hoodlite "Osker Pint". Still trying the Team JOSH approach. But, yeah. Lend me your thoughts. I really want to know.

The new Knowledge Tower video is up for this month!

Rare-pairs that I love and are canon in my next gen au part 2

Gathering of Guardians

It’s been a long time since I’ve drawn some of the characters, and the first time drawing others.

From left to right: Jaav, Tropico, Ruin, Suname, Zuteila and Hotoke

Jaav has always been an enigma and makes use of himself as a spy and saboteur, altering documents written in ink. His interests in subterfuge get him into more hot water than he’d like sometimes, however.

Tropico is an outcast, given many Matoran see her as an ill omen of coming storms. Despite this she means well and tries to Shepard the storms so that many farms do not feel the brunt of a wayward hurricanes’ wrath.

Ruin guards an entire island alone, tending and protecting the resident Matoran. Being in contact with the contaminated air however has had ill effects on the Toa of Light.

Suname is the Shooting Star Toa. Another Toa of Light who is often commissioned to assist on Rahkshii hunts. In some rare cases, she’s also employed to run interference between Dark hunters and Toa. Who are her Employers? She’ll never tell.

- Master of The Crows: Timothy Brian Anderson -

Every trio needs a supervisor to watch over them in case they do anything stupid to get themselves killed or worst, expelled. Meet;

Professor Timothy Brian Anderson - a teacher who acts as the supervisor to the main trio; Sadie, Hector, and Jamie. Professor Anderson is a passionate history teacher at Kingshaven Academy.

Upon first impressions, Professor Anderson stands out with his unique flame-like hair that moves under its own laws of psychics with sentient eyes. Nicknamed as; The Crows. When these eyes are extracted from his head, they will take the form of a star that moves akin to a bird.

These Crows function as Timothy's extra set of eyes and ears to gather intel and observe. The Crows can be seen coming and going as the please. Occasionally, they also act as combat assistance but mostly for emergency getaways. The Crows also have two different eye colors with different signs.

Cyan/ light blue - is their neutral color. When in this state, the Crows are mostly calm and mind heir own business. They would be seen hunting food; small rodents, baby birds or eggs, insects, carrion, seeds, nuts, berries and corn. Additionally, they eat small fish.

Orange - is their color of aggression and hostility. When in state, the Crows will actively hunt for their assigned enemies and attack in groups. (Some would say; "in a Murder")

The Origins of The Crows are still Unknown

As an individual, Professor Anderson is described as eccentric. He loves sharing history and he's a good oracle of information on anything and everything his Crows can find due to his unique skills.

He is also feared for his strictness and his infamous; Thousand Eyes Glare. As the Supervisor of The Lightstone Club; the club that Sadie, Hector and Jamie joined. Timothy served as; their driver, negotiator and on occasion. As backup. He's a respected teacher that helped make History fun and you might even get to pet his Crows.
