She better be in Quake Champions or there will be riots.

Y'know what they call that? A s'kink’. ;D

Drew some alternate costumes for @toafaybos​‘s Ce-Toa Xania. (Human version of course)

Magical ladies in over-the-top outfits are my aesthetic.

Toa of Psionics are the essentially the mages of the Matoran Universe, so naturally they need to have the most glamorous outfits and extravagant headpieces possible.

Krohno, Toa of Magnetism

Background:

A toa who is thousands of years due a Destiny. Krohno has done many wrongs in his life as a former lover and protector of his village, a Steltian Gladiator and retired member of the OoMN but as a member of the Toa Heva he is willing to set things right. A father amongst his comrades, he would fight to the death for any of them if provoked. However he has a terrible drinking problem as is prone to scuttling away to the nearest tavern when visiting cities en route to Metru Nui. As implied, he is the oldest toa of the group, dating back to the years before Makuta decided to topple the Great Spirit Mata Nui and put the world into where it is today.

Personality:

He is stoic, choosing to talk only when it is of importance or if something amuses him. His need to be protective sometimes drives the others crazy or his drinking spirals into some unsavoury moments that the team has to clean up. Still, he is respected for his wisdom and brute strength that he yields with lethal skill. He also happens to tower over many residents of the GSR, including the Stelt, which attracts a lot of attention. 

 Krohno also happens to have a very morbid sense of humor, as well as a bellowing laugh that can shake the trees in the surrounding area. The magnetic toa is very fascinated by anything he can tinker with in his workshop as a lover of all things robotic. Has a severe dislike for Stelt. Sometimes he will have an episode when certain things remind him of his days as a gladiator, for example, the sight of blood and being hounded by mobs.

He hates deadbeat dads, being a father himself with an adopted son, Chiro, waiting for his return in his home town. The toa considers all of his teammates a son (or daughter) to him. 

Skills:

Wields the basic powers of a Toa of Magnetism, being able to create, control and absorb magnetic fields and materials with the flick of his fingers.

He has experience in smithery, forging protosteel tools, armour and the like for his team. His vast knowledge in combat experience gives him a huge edge over many a foe, couple that with the mental toughness and teachings of a OoMN agent and you have yourself something extremely hard to swallow: his fist.

His toa tools are what he deems the ‘knuckle busters’, able to charge up his magnetic power and deal heavy damage on collision. His thick build and tough exterior makes him a tough nut to crack and can endure days of fighting without much worse for the wear.

Krohno wears the Kanohi Rode, able to detect deception from any targets he focuses on. Do try not to lie, he really hates that.

---------------

Hoo, that was REALLY hard to put in shorthand. Hopefully it satisfies all you lore-lovers out there. ^^

Krohno was very tough to draw just because of how BIG the guy is. He used to be about the size of an average toa but now he towers over his team about a head and a half now (will provide comparison later). So for now, enjoy this mountain of a magnetic toa.

Whatever I draw in my blog does not reflect the overall content of my writing.(ie. Faybos Chronicles) 

Drawings =/= Writing Quality. 

Things I’ve drawn in regards to silly or questionable subject matter do not reflect the content I have in store for future writings and stories involving said characters. 

Character bios released with character sketches, studies and profiles have information left out on purpose as to not spoil the elements of the story for new readers/viewers.

Studies, sketchdumps and fanservice-y drawings also do not reflect a character’s overall personality and are only drawn because an artist is allowed to have fun and challenge themselves.

And finally, if something is canonical to the story or the characters I will tell you. There will be measures taken between story elements and OOC elements.

After all these months I’m starting to feel like myself again. Thank you all that I’ve known in the 21 years, without you I wouldn’t be who I am today.

So have a fantastic year everyone! May good karma shower upon you.
