Irex, Toa Half-Hordika of Air

Irex was once the deputy leader of the toa team that protected Keta-Koro. The team was small and the toa were young and inexperienced, but they did their job well and Kafes and the villagers were happy to have them.

The novice toa fought bravely, but they didn’t stand a chance against the visorak swarm. In the aftermath of the attack, as the villagers were being rounded up and cocooned and Irex’s brothers and sisters lay dead on the ground, the young toa was able to slip away from the swarm’s grasp. With hordika venom already coursing through his veins, he ran deep into the forest, trying to reach the nearest village and raise the alarm. He passed out before he could make it.

Irex awoke days later a half-hordika. Since he was never cocooned he still had the mask and body of a toa, but he had lost his powers and grown emaciated and malformed. He had sprouted the wings and claws of a giant insect. Irex did not take these changes well. Horrified by his new appearance, mourning for the loss of his home and family, and wracked with survivor’s guilt, he wandered into the deep jungle. It’s ironic… despite being the only survivor of Keta-Koro to escape a full hordika transformation, he is the one who struggles the most to resist hordika madness. He isolates himself in the jungle, refusing Kafes’s pleas to come to Faxon-Koro and let her help him. He could not face his friends and neighbors again, knowing that he failed to protect them.

Onezu Nuva, Toa of Earth

Onezu is famous across Spherus Magna for several reasons, but among his many notable achievements is that he was the first toa since the great rejoining to achieve the coveted status of “Toa Nuva”.

Onezu has always been a strange sort. Quiet, lonely, yet restless. As a matoran on the northern continent he was a scholar, diving deep into his studies and experiments. Driven by something… he couldn’t figure out what but he always felt like there was something missing in his life. He threw himself into project after project of every kind, always reaching for the forbidden fruit, his efforts to find that something more frustrated every time. He kept these endeavors to himself.

When he became a toa, he was a great one. Again, he threw himself into study, this time of the arts of the hero-warrior. Skilled in combat, an effortless wielder of his element, no matoran who knew him felt safer than when he was near. He traveled the continent, leading the charge against threats to matoran settlements that other toa would have balked at. Still, he kept to himself, let his comrade toa do the work of talking to and comforting the villagers. Still, he felt empty.

After the great rejoining he wandered Bara Magna. Searching. The traditional work of a toa had lost its interest for him.

Then he found the Bahrag.

He simply stumbled into their new lair. Nestled in the outermost ruins of the Great Spirit’s former body, surrounded by a dense forest, guarded by swarms of Bohrok. They told him that they had been watching him, that he had accomplished great feats, that if he proved himself strong enough they would grant him a gift.They fought. He won. They brought him to their inner sanctum.

And suddenly he was a Toa Nuva.

And with that new form came a new outlook. A new feeling of purpose. He had found it. The missing link, the thing he had been searching for his whole life.

He left the Bahrag a new toa, in more ways than one.

Buruka

In the jungles surrounding new Tesara, 100 years after the great rejoining of Spherus Magna, there dwells one very mischievous creature. Experienced travelers and traders on the forest roads are always on the lookout for this infamous ape.. snake… thing high in the trees, lest they find their goods stolen for food or themselves pelted with overripe fruit for sport. Some say Buruka was once long ago a matoran or even a turaga, a hapless victim of the Visorak Hordes of old who succumbed completely to hordika madness. Others dismiss this story as nonsense and say that he’s just a particularly rare and intelligent species of rahi. Despite his initially frightening appearance, Buruka is, as the victims of his pranks and thefts know, ultimately harmless. He just wants food and entertainment. But his curious nature and his penchant for antagonizing New Tesarans would definitely land him in some serious trouble… if he wasn’t so good at evading capture.

This guy is an old MOC. Not sure why or when I built him, but I still like him. Sorry about the iffy background and lighting, this is honestly the best place I have to stage photographs right now. If you’re on desktop, click through the photos to see captions.

Kelot

A mercenary from the southern isles. Kelot is a sharpshooter with a huge and diverse arsenal of shooters. If you’re in need of an assassin with some range, he is the first one you should call.

Wherever Kelot appears, Veltaz tends to show up as well. They are of the same species, and some say they have been partners since long before they took their current profession. Now they are both freelance mercenaries in Bara Magna, and they tend to get hired as a team. They work together quite well.

Kelot and Veltaz were last seen being escorted into a central stronghold of Onezu’s rapidly growing territory. It seems the Makuta Nuva has a job for them...

Kafes, Rahaga of Lightning

Kafes was once a Turaga. Loved by her villagers, honored by her peers, she watched over Keta-Koro, a newly established matoran village on the plains of Spherus Magna. Life was peaceful and good in this brave new world.

Then tragedy struck. A swarm of visorak appeared one day, as if from thin air. It was a small and chaotic group, nothing like the great horde of olden days, but nevertheless they swept through a community that was completely unprepared for them. Keta-Koro was the first town to be hit. The Visorak were defeated at great cost by a small army of brave Glatorian and Agori, but not before Keta-Koro was wiped from the map. Buildings leveled. Foodstores burned. Every single matoran captured and transformed into hordika.

It was Kafes that picked up the pieces. When others despaired, she rebuilt. She gathered the scattered and mutated matoran back under her wing. She gave them the strength and support they needed to fight off hordika madness. With them she built a new village. She even gained the support and favor of her neighbors in New Tesara when it was discovered that she could control Buruka (he only does what she tells him to 30% of the time, but that’s 30% more than he does for anyone else).

Some outsiders call Kafes’s new village Hordika-Koro, but Kafes calls it Faxon-Koro... the village of kindred. And the name is accurate. As ramshackle and isolated as it is, Faxon-Koro is a community of trust. A family. It is a place that hordika from around the world can call home, can turn to for love, support, and acceptance. And it’s all because, even when things were at their darkest, Kafes didn’t give up.

Another old MOC. I think the idea was to design a better Rahaga than what lego did. Which basically just means adding that ball joint for neck articulation. I also took off the Rhotuka spinner because I kind of prefer it off.

A bunch of WIPs. These are all old MOCs that need some more work before I officially show them to you. They’re all gonna be ROO characters eventually.

The first is a Po-Turaga, I started working on him maybe a year ago and then never finished him.

Second is a toa of water. She was complete but then I tore her down a bit cause I wanted to rework her hands and never rebuilt her. I’m gonna change her up a bit before her official post.

The last is a weird one. Technically he’s 100% complete, but I don’t like some of the choices I made for him and I want to rework him before I post him. Like the literal sniper rifle. I like how i designed it, but it doesn’t feel very bionicle (any ideas for a better sniper type weapon I could give him? I was thinking either Vakhi Kanoka launcher, spruced up of course, or midak skyblaster). He’s supposed to be a gunslinging partner for Veltaz. Originally they were a team of 3, but you guys don’t get to see the third one cause it’s straight up bad.

Tekal - Old version

====================

Ok I know this first version is crap but she is old and was one of my first Mocs in a while when I made her, really I have no idea why I did but I did so here you go (and yes I know was, and still am bad at writing). 

Also yes, I have barely updated these bios out of sheer laziness.

====================

Tekal was originally a skilled thief from Le-Metru until one day she heard a rumour about a abandoned fortress on a nearby island that housed a treasure of unknowable wealth. When she got to the island she discovered that it wasn't abandoned and rundown as it seemed it had multiple traps that she was lucky to escape from and strange robotic defenders who appeared to only have one thought which was protect the treasure at all costs. When Tekal finally made it to the treasure she discovered that the treasure was an object of great power but when she tried to pick it up it transferred its power into Tekal turning her into a toa of air and it changed her tools/weapons into 2 beam swords and a plasma cannon on her shoulder along with changing her mask of invisibility and speed. She then fought her way out of the fortress destroying all of the robotic defenders but in doing so her leg was damaged forcing her to replace it with parts from the defenders. She is still a their but she won't rob matoran and she helps them when they are in need of it.

Attitude: mischievous, happy, likes to steal anything she see's that she wants, slightly suspicious of new matoran and toa.

Toa type: toa of air

Mask powers: mask of invisibility and speed

Powers: controls air

Other attributes: plasma cannon shoots large blasts of plasma, beam swords can be used as swords or shoot beams of concentrated energy.

Tekal - revamped & titanized

====================

So yeah, this is what I found out happens when I watch a bunch of biorockdudes videos an am having random female moc inspiration week or whatever.

====================

So yep this was an accidental revamp of Tekal. I also found out what happens when I watch a bunch of biorockdudes videos (especially the how to's) in a row. 

So yeah I think I was trying to make a cydrone? Either that or I was just trying to make a random custom female torso, I didn't even plan for it to be a revamp of Tekal until I noticed the colour scheme matched up and I couldn't get the idea out of my head. Here's the thing, I never planned to ever upgrade her or really focus on her ever again so when this happened I was amazed. She did come out taller than I wanted and before anyone starts pointing out the lower torso and leg length, I know! I just don't know how to make the legs longer and such at this time so if you have any ideas let me know and I'll try em out.

She is still a theif but she won't rob matoran and she helps them when they are in need of it.

Also she won't steal from the poor/less well off and if their situation is bad enough and she recently robbed someplace/one nearby she'll give them some of her ill gotten goods, not all of them of course, she'll still keep most for herslef, for she did otherwise then she wouldn't be Tekal.

Attitude: mischievous, happy, likes to steal anything she see's that she wants, slightly suspicious of new matoran and toa.

Element: toa of air

Melded-Kanohi: Invisibility and speed

Weapons: Focused air cannon with perception connected aiming system, wingblade.

==================== 

Wingblade

Just a small blade Tekal cobbled together for when she needs to physically fight, it can shoot weak blasts of wind from the tip, which she usually uses to knock an enemy back so she can get farther away and use her guns.

==================== 

Other attributes: She is very weak physically but make up for that in speed, agility, aim and parkour skills. This is also why she tends to only use guns, she avoids physical fights and will attempt to run away from one, that's not to say she can't fight she's just less good at it.

Tekal - Re-Revamped

Ah love how quickly I got this out when I first made it. I fixed a bunch of her! Changed the spikes on her breast/chest plate to better fit, increased her arm length and fixed the weird angle which came from the connection joints, changed up her waist and such a bit (but I still feel it needs changing) and also gave her better legs! 

Thanks to Jal (TTV user) for the leg idea. Also I do want to possibly custom make the lower torso but I have very little ideas on how to so any you have/know about let me know and I'll see what I can do.

She has essentially gone from normal toa to titan toa in just two days! I'm actually going to incorporate this into her backstory and how she met Qadoentra now!

As said before Qadoentra finally caught up with Tekal after she had left the group for a bit to do a side mission of her own. The side mission was actually why she is now a Titan, she had always felt herself as a liability to the team, despite her amazing gun precision and agility, due to her below average strength. During the misfits travels she heard rumours of a powerful item that would turn a toa into their Titan form, increasing the abilities, but was also heavily guarded by strange, sentient rahi, traps and possibly makuta. After hearing about it she decided to find it so she could become a titan so her strength would increase and she'd be less of a liability to the team. She eventually figured out where it most likely was and when her team was near that area she left to find it. She did manage to get to and use the item, albeit taking quite a bit of damage beforehand, the rumours of how it was guarded all being true and then some.

While it did increase her strength it was less than she expected, putting her at about the average toa’s strength, so while she's still quite weak she was strong enough to no longer be a liability. She the met Qadoentra before both of them headed back to her team and they discovered what she had done, while they were happy she was stronger they all were somewhat upset that she considered herself to be a liability, her having already proven herself to be amazing asset in battles, and that she had almost died doing so.

The Dead One

So here is what I "mutilated" that Avohkii for, for those who were wondering. So not the best build really, I just wanted to make something scrappy and chaotic looking and I came out with this, will be editing this with better pictures later.

==========================

The dead one was originally a Toa who died in a massive war against the Makuta. He was reawakened when a group of Toa (Lehatu, Mek, Kanz, Ksarel, Tekal and Tekan discovered the battle field on a hidden island after they crashed there during there travels on Aqua Magna, the battle field and island had been forgotten and all of the parts were still there. While the Toa were picking through parts to repair their ship (and see if they could find some good weapons) Mek found The dead one's mask, when he picked it up it drained some of his energy and started using its powers of regeneration and molecule control to try to regenerate The dead one, the only problem was because of the damage to the mask and that he was dead and not controlling it, its powers were chaotic and it started combining parts that weren't his to make his body. At first after his mask "fixed" him he and the other Toa fought a bit until they figured out they weren't enemy's, he then joined their Toa team and used his mask powers to repair their ship as best as he could while he tried to gain better control of his mask powers.d" him he and the other Toa fought a bit until they figured out they weren't enemy's, he then joined their Toa team and used his mask powers to repair their ship as best as he could while he tried to gain better control of his mask powers.

Attitude: Blank, had none at first, because he was dead, gains more later after he stays with the group and works on controlling his mask powers so he can bring himself back to normal.

Attributes: Has a damaged mask of regeneration/molecule control, is extremely strong but parts of him sometimes fall of, can repair himself with anything, can drain energy from enemy's if he touches them, is almost impossible to be killed because his mask contains all of him, he can survive without a body as long as his mask is intact, will go into a type of sleep state until he gets more energy to regenerate body if all that’s left of him is his mask and he can't access material in time/is already really weak and he can heal any damage no matter how severe as long as he can access more material and has enough energy.

Weapons: Scrap hammer, molecule disturber cannon 

==========================

Molecule Disturber cannon

(And yes I know it's bad)

This was the first weapon The dead one made when he came back to life and thought the Toa were enemy's. When he made this weapon he was confused and rather out of it because he was still rather weak, he grabbed a damaged molecule disturber cannon and tried to regenerate it, the only problem is he had very little control over his mask powers right then and they caused it to mutate turning it into a Molecule Disturber cannon. 

Usually a molecule disturber cannon temporarily ‘disturbs’ any molecules it hits. I.e. if you hit a rock it would disperse into a cloud of molecules allowing you to walk through it, if you hit yourself it would allow you to pass through small cracks/sneak into an enemy's base, etc. 

Because it was ‘mutated’ it caused the function to change so if it hit something it would cause the molecules to be scrambled pretty much, which would cause whatever it hit to change into who knows what.

Scrap hammer

I spent a literal 2 hours just making this and it quite literally drained me of almost all silver pieces for a long time.
