Predictions for each meme entry
Nidhiki = just straight up the original set.
Tuyet = a moc with her lower half missing.
Lariska = what you said.
Zaria = recolor of the new iron man “constraction” set (or the pile of bodies he finds in the canyon)
Chiara = Chiara with a kiril
Orde = moc that is entirely covered by sanoks
Marendar =

tbh, I don’t think it’s a bad idea to use a cat as a motif. I’ve already seen a few Lariska with the motif of sleek creatures.
It’s just a problem if we’re going to use it as a meme.
and maid? Oh that would take quite a lot of courage.
At least I want someone to make tuyet that’s easy to separate the waist.

I imagine Lariska’s contest will go very similar to Artakha’s in terms of how color will be handled on the MOC. Iirc, Artakha was officially described as “gray green.” The closest thing we have to that in Lego is sand green, which isn’t an easy color to work with, so the compromise was that Artakha entries could be any one shade of green (the winning Artakha MOC was sand green but I find it unlikely that the color was the deciding factor). Lariska is described as “blue-green” and “dark teal.” If we assume that those are meant to be Lego’s teal color, we’d have another issue of that color being difficult to work with, so I imagine the compromise this time would be to use either teal or one shade of either blue or green.

I do. I really do
Actually, a cat would make sense thematically. Cats are one of the only animals to kill for fun, toying with their prey when they could instantly kill them.
They have pretty good night vision, being able to make out details far better than other creatures.
“She can be very quiet when hunting, and she has senses so acute that she was able to detect Nidhiki when he was using a Kanohi Volitak.”
They are nimble and folklore states they always land on their feet. They also tend to stretch out or move around.
“She is a limber being clad in dark teal armor and the size of Toa.”
"Lariska is incredibly fast and agile and can perform astounding acrobatic maneuvers. She does not like to rest, preferring to move around; she has been known to spontaneously start doing somersaults and backflips. "
Big cats are also considered to be some of the most dangerous and feared creatures, most ruling over the region they’re found in.
“The Shadowed One has noted that Lariska is a Dark Hunter whom the other Hunters fear. He cited this fact when he asked Lariska to run the organization in his absence.”
Finally, cats and snakes have a decent amount in common: Both hiss, have slit eyes, are cold-blooded killers and known to be stealth hunters.
Finally cats kill snakes in folklore, like Egyptian.
Lariska and Nidhiki both share a similar world view, both are masters at stealth and both are willing to kill without hesitation.
Finally, Lariska was told to kill Nidhiki after they took over Metru Nui.
So yeah I think it makes a ton of sense that Lariscat is how she should look.
Also if Lariscat wins, a snake inspired Nidhiki would work thematically as well.

Actually Lariskat/Nyariska might be a good idea. You’ve convinced me!

there’s a difference between a Lariska that is thematically cat-like and a catgirl Lariska.

Yeah I’m 100% behind Lariscat but Cat-Girl Lariska is too memey for me. It’d be like making Tuyet look like 2nd form Frieza or making Orde look like Professor X, chair included.
Glad to hear it!
I still think Lariska shouldn’t be a cat and your quotes didn’t really convince me otherwise. and nothing probably will the meme potential is too big imo. Its on the same level as vortixx lariska for me in other words unacceptable For example the exerpt didn’t seem to imply she was aiming to kill Nidhiki. TSO probably made sure that she wouldn’t kill him.
However cudous to you for finding this info.
Whoops sorry I forgot to add this the first time:
She was holding back because she thought she could make a deal with him:
As far as we know, if Nidhiki answered no to Lariska or even managed to get Metru Nui in DH hands, he would have been dead.
*"She never turned. She never cried out. She simply leaped aside as if he had soft-tossed a Kodan ball at her, landed silently, and spun in his direction. Her smile was a challenge.
“I appreciate the little breeze,” she said softly. “Hunting is hot work.”
“Then maybe you need a little more chilling,” he replied. This time he sent elemental air power from both sides of his tool, bracketing her. To his amazement, she did a somersault from a standing start, neatly evading both blasts. Before she had even reached her feet, she had hurled two daggers at him. One whistled past his mask while the other sliced his right shoulder armor as it flew by."*
“Nidhiki glanced from the new gash in his emerald armor to his foe. She had missed on purpose, he was certain. With her aim, if she had wanted to kill him, he would be dead.”
She was toying with him while making her deal.
Lastly, this line is a lie (the part about not killing him):
“I could kill you now, Toa” she continued. “But I’ve filled my quota today. So I am just going to leave you here and go finish off your precious Turaga. If you’re scared of the dark … well, you probably should be.”
Since she or Hakann would have if he hadn’t agreed.

I hear you but none of this really have to mean she is a cat though.

Yeah of course. I just wanted to clear up my mistake. Additionally I just thought a cat design fit thematically.
As far as we know, Lariska could be like Keetongu and have a single eye or heck even Lariscat.
In the end it would be awesome to see the different builds and ultimately I’ll be ok with whatever wins.

I’ll admit, a catgirl isn’t how I pictured Lariska… but if it came down to that or a vortixx build, I’d pick Lariskat any day.

If a lariskat wins the contest all credibility of these contest will jump out the window.

If it’s an overtly meme-y entry, like having Mixel eyes or a catgirl outfit, yeah. But those will get rule 11’d. A Lariskat with, say, cat ears and digitigrade legs wouldn’t be that bad, though.
