Only one of those is a Toa, and he matches his Elementās āofficialā colour scheme.
Are you referring to the Platinum Avohkii?
Thatās definitely a rare colourā¦

For some reason I used to think that the green was green and brown
And for the non-canon element of vacuum I used green and white (no idea how green and white equals āvacuumā in my head )
Prolly because Vacuum is air on its day off so checks out.
Black+Yellow is selling vacuum.
Black+Yellow is obviously Batman
I personally think it depends on what youāre going for.
I personally like the elemental genders, and have adhered to them when building plenty of the MOCs that Iāve made. Also, though, there were times when I wanted to give a character a color scheme that didnāt fit within those of the canon MU elements, but I did so anyway, and was satisfied with the way the MOCs looked.
for me the canon comes first. if something doesnāt fit with canon in my mocs, i fix it so that it does. got a white female toa? slap some blue on there, call it electricity.
Slapping blue on every single female Toa of yours can get boring really fast
Or, alternatively, having to make every single blue character of yours female.

Thatās where toa of light come in.
Thatās still kinda limiting, having to make every Toa whose colors or gender donāt conform a Toa of Light because theyāre the only ones allowed to break from the mold. More interesting to just bend the rules, imo.
but the thing is that, if you want a canon-compliant character, the rules canāt be bent.
The point is to not care so much about making a canon-compliant character, for the sake of creativity, storyline, or (in my case) lack of parts.
Seconded what Winger said. Iāve never been the sort of person to strictly follow canon when making my own stuff; being ācanon-compliantā to the letter just isnāt as much fun.
you two make me sad
Even the canon doesnāt care about the canon. Thereās a male Toa of Psionics. There are no rules, only suggestions.

ā¦ which led to an explanation justifying the separation of Elements by gender, thereby proving that Elemental gender is not an arbitrary thing.
There are no rules,
Again, Ordeās backstory proves without a doubt that there are rules; the Great Beings intentionally separated the Elements by gender due to āgentlenessā.
I can see that quite a few people want to move away from gender-separated Elements, and Iām not going to try to stop you, but Ordeās case isnāt the best justification for it.
Ok, so I went that a little extreme.
But it does create a precedent that all it takes to mix up genders and keep it canonical is make up a somewhat reasonable sounding excuse and then everythings fair game.
And that is only if you think canon is important, but that is something everyone has got to decide for themselves so not worth discussing.

To be fair, thatās a counterpoint. I wonāt want to make an excuse if I want to mix up canon gender.
