The Brotherhood of Makuta - What About a Community MOC Project?

@Gilahu Those drawings look awesome! Obviously my opinion doesn’t matter, but well done!

A couple of things regarding Syrai:

Is there a mask that permits the wearer to temporarily use or steal elemental energy from an enemy? If so, I think I’d like that to be her mask power.

Does Teridax have a bodyguard outside of his Hagah team? If he’s permitted I could have Syrai die for him, which I think would be a fitting death for her.

Thanks!

Sorry to hear this. I’ll take you off the list then.


@Maarlfox

I’d say the Avsa comes pretty close, also the natural power of Hunger that all Makuta possess. However, these only allow to drain energy, so I guess a mask that only drains elemental energy and makes it useable for the wearer would be a new thing. You should add, though, that the user can’t store the drained energy (unless he naturally possesses the same type of elemental power in which case he could charge himself) thus all absorbed elemental energy has to be used immediately.

Maybe, though that would make your Makuta a warrior which isn’t allowed anymore.

This might still work, though.

Time for the new list:


I’ll put the complete set of rules below it, so definitely take a look if you want to participate!
Even if the first post says something different, what is written here is the real thing.
The first post still includes some other information you should read before entering, though!


:pencil2: = drawing done
:writing_hand: = “Book of the Brotherhood” entry completed but not yet edited
:pen_ballpoint: = “Book of the Brotherhood” entry done

Both, the drawing and the “Book of the Brotherhood” entry will be posted once the project is complete. For more information see post 374 and 470.

To be assigned

  • 3 male Makuta

Notes:

The five Makuta who sided with Miserix at the convocation are all done already.
The two Makuta who were kept by Teridax to create Kraata after he took over the Matoran Universe and were later killed are done already.
The Makuta who was killed by Toa Zaria is done already.

@TFM101
What about that update on your Krika MOC?

@AdamusTheFirst
Don’t forget your third MOC and the backstory for your MOCs

@Silver_Falcon
If you don’t get another Makuta completed I’ll accept Falcin and change his backstory as I see fit for the “Book of the Brotherhood”

@darkbrick999
A better build is needed in order to get Kohuru accepted.

@Aegyptiacus
Still two issues with Aegis: 1) The name, 2) the maskpower
You have time to change this until March 31st. If you don’t I’ll handle things as I see fit - name will be changed to “Yandra” with “Aegis” as some kind of nickname, about her maskpower I’ll decide once I get to writing her entry.


Here’s a map of all currently assigned regions based on the map that @Silver_Falcon provided we with - thanks again for that!

grey=not to be assigned to a Makuta
Southeastern Southern Continent for @Silver_Falcon’s Makuta?

to be assigned - Southern Southern Continent, Artidax (see backstories below)

Rules

CONCERNING THE MOC:

1) Makuta wear Kanohi
Your MOC should wear a mask or have a head that looks like a mask.

2) Good design
Your MOC should look like something you spent some time on. It needs a proper colour scheme and should also get the “Makuta look” across.

3) Colour Scheme
Makuta as beings of Shadow should not have a colour scheme associated with Light. You can use gold pieces (if you really have to) or white armor, but no white and gold
colour scheme.

4) Titan Size
Ideally your MOC should have the complexity of a Titan build, although I’m somewhat tollerant in that point. Have a look at my Makuta MOCs if you want to get an impression of what I deem perfect in that regard.

5) “Original” Form
The Makuta should be humanoid and not mutated. This means they should walk upright, have exactly two legs, one head and a minimum of two arms. You’re allowed to add more arms, wings, tail(s) etc.

6) Picture Quality
At least the main picture of your MOC shouldn’t be too dark/too bright/blurred and such. Everyone should be able to tell colours apart and see details.

7) CCBS and Technic
This is a project that aims at creating G1 characters. It would make me extremely happy if you could use no CCBS parts for your MOC.
But since the era of the G1 building system is 5 years gone and some of you understandably don’t have any/very few G1 parts, CCBS MOCs of course will get accepted, too. But please at least consider using no CCBS if you can. Thanks.

CONCERNING THE BACKSTORY:

1) Kanohi rule:
Your Makuta aren’t allowed to wear the following masks (again, just to be sure: Your MOC can wear any mask you like, you just have to say that it is a different mask):

  • Avsa, Mask of Hunger
  • Mohtrek, Mask of Time Duplication
  • Shelek, Mask of Silence
  • Jutlin, Mask of Corruption
  • Othla, Mask of Fear (name by 21sselliW)
  • Pakari, Mask of Strength
  • Kiril, Mask of Regeneration
  • Matatu, Mask of Telekinesis
  • Kualsi, Mask of Quick Travel
  • Mautru, Mask of Mutation (name by Tolkien from BZPower)
  • Hau, Mask of Shielding
  • obviously not the Kraahkan, but also no mask that is “shaped like a Kraahkan”
  • no masks that just exist in very limited numbers (Olmak, Kanohi Nuva, etc.)

This doesn’t apply to already accepted MOCs. It doesn’t apply to canon Makuta with known masks either, of course, but it does apply to those whose masks aren’t given.
There might be Kanohi added to this list from time to time, so be sure to have a look before uploading your MOC.

2) Canon story rule:
Your Makuta has to die before the entrance to Karda Nui is discovered. That would be around the time Jaller and his friends set out to find the Toa Nuva.
(the “no longer Makuta” side paragraph doesn’t work anymore)

Again, this obviously excludes canon Makuta, whose fates we know.

3) Dark Hunter - Brotherhood of Makuta War Rule
No more Makuta are allowed to have found their end through the hands of the Dark Hunters after outbreak of the war (shortly after Mata Nui was put to sleep)

4) Makuta kill Makuta rule A
Your Makuta isn’t allowed to kill another Makuta except if you do another Makuta MOC which is killed by the first one in its backstory. If so, tell me and that first MOC will get accepted as soon as the second one gets accepted, too.

5) Toa kill Makuta rule
Toa aren’t allowed to be responsible for your Makuta’s death.

6) Death through the Order of Mata Nui rule:
No more Makuta are allowed to have died through the hands of the Order of Mata Nui. The exception are canon Makuta.

7) Makuta kill Makuta rule B:
If your Makuta is killed by another Makuta, I (Gilahu) might request you to change the killer’s name if I feel like this Makuta already killed enough others or doesn’t fit as killer. You’re allowed to use every Makuta accepted into this project as killer, as long as it makes sense (in my eyes).

8) Warrior rule:
Your Makuta isn’t allowed to be a full-time warrior or best known for his/her fighting abilities. Your Makuta is allowed to fight in the battle against the Barraki, but should not play a major role there.

9) Rahi creator rule:
Your Makuta isn’t allowed to specifically create only/mostly dangerous Rahi, very big Rahi or try to create anything other that is particularly big and/or dangerous. This includes weapons. It doesn’t include coming up with the idea for the Fohrok and/or Exo-Toa.


Backstory help

If you need help with a backstory, I’m always ready to help.

Here are some suggestions (thanks to @E44 with helping out here) (please tell me if you want to use one of these):

  • Makuta Suurat (post 120)
  • a Makuta who shunned his inner shadow and became a Makuta of Light (somewhat like in the Melding alternate Universe) but was killed even prior to the war with the Barraki
  • a Makuta who specialized on creating crablike Rahi - absorbed by Chirox after they together created the Zivon (so that Chirox could take all the credit for it (or something))
  • a Makuta who studied elemental powers and how it worked that they could be activated in a Matoran during the transformation into a Toa. In the days after Teridax’s takeover this Makuta thus captured multiple Matoran and Toa and experimented with them. He eventually found out a lot about the mysterious “Toa Power” in the process and even might have been able to extract it from Toa and create Toa stones with it. (@Silver_Falcon)
  • a Makuta who was the physician of Destral (@ToaPanda)
  • a Makuta who got the idea for the Fohrok (can be combined with another one here) (@Silver_Falcon?)
  • a Makuta who was assigned to Artidax and died prior to the Convocation

Death sources:

  • prior to Teridax’s takeover and the Makuta’s evolution they could still die by simply stabbing them with a pointy stick in the right place. After the evolution it wasn’t so easy anymore

There might be things added/removed here from time to time.

I just wanted to inform you that I am doing Kojol. I have been away from home and unable to work on him.

I already have a makuta built (that i’ve yet to upload at the time of writing this) that is alive after Teridax dies but he lives inside the ruins of a city, is handicapped by and antidermis tank that he’s force to drag everywhere if he wants to live, and he was bound to a powerless kanohi and relies on a vegetative and amputated toa hooked up to his own head to use any mask powers. (increasing his handicap)

His antidermis tank may or may not allow him to use Kraata. The reason why I wanted this trait was because, using his knowledge on rahi creation, he scavenges the ruined city for corpses to dismantle and build into rahi and uses infected Kanohi to control them. Otherwise, I’ll probably just put a Tryna on the toa which he uses to reanimate the rahi.

If any of that is a problem I’ll be happy to change some of it and yes, does meet the MOC criteria.

If you want to put him on the list his name is “Revolis”

please respond if you have any thoughts. and if you want to see him either check my profile or just ask

@Belicure

Sorry, but currently all Makuta are assigned, so there’s no room for yours. Also the first post of this topic is a little outdated - you can find the updated list and the updated rules in post 1065.

Should someone be removed from the list then feel free to try to join again. The backstory for your Makuta would have to be changed according to the updated rules in this case, however.

Well here’s an (sloppy) picture anyway in case a spot does open up (I compared it to Brutaka and he’s about as tall as he is and yeah I think I can change his story around a bit)

@Belicure

Since I kinda want the Makuta to be in their original forms your MOC probably wouldn’t work either. He looks really interesting and unique, though. Love that Toa half on his staff :laughing: Also that Zamor sphere lower torso is really clever. Nice custom mask, too.

Well I’m glad you like it!

also, by “original forms” you mean before Teridax messed everything up, right?

He means what they originally looked like, for example, the 08 Makuta shapeshifted, which is what we see in the sets, they originally didn’t look like that.

Is that a hose that connects the head to the staff?

yeah. since his mask no longer works, he has to rely on the vegetated toa for powers.

Woah…

That’s awesome! Very gruesome, love the torso build. I get a very sadistic bounty hunter vibe from it

Please post this MOC anyway, even if he won’t be in the book of the brotherhood. I’d love to see more of him.

So, @21sselliW pointed out to me a few days ago that there are a few locations in the Matoran Universe that were destroyed at some point and thus aren’t seen on the map:

These destroyed islands are:

  • one linked via a landbridge to Artakha that was destroyed after Kojol’s raid
  • one near Xia that was only inhabited by Rahi and which was destroyed at some point to make the trade routes more convenient for Xia

Upon checking this information I stumbled across a list of even more places that might provide more regions to assign:

The question now is - should some of these places be included as regions for Makuta to be assigned to, or not? And which ones?
Or should we simply ignore this for the most part, since these are only really minor places?

My list would currently look like this:

  • island adjacent to Artakha - either directly assigned to Kojol, too, or previously assigned to some Makuta who died prior to the Convocation
  • island near Xia - either also assigned to Antroz or assigned to some Rahi scientist who died somewhen before the Raid on Artakha
  • island near Metru Nui
  • (island near Stelt)
  • Nocturn’s Homeland
  • Wooded island - the ideal excuse for Makuta Anjan’s assigned region :grin:

This is open for discussion.

I personally presently tend towards ignoring this for the most part (that Wooded island comes in quite handy for Anjan, but I figure otherwise all these minor places could simply be overseen by the Makuta of the adjacent regions)
