(WARNING: Not yet 100% complete. It can still change in the future)
I got the idea of the change from: Other Smaller Islands [Pitch] [Worldbuilding]
Karzahni’s island
Karzahni’s island are remains of a long dead volcano. Karzahni’s experiments corrupted the island, which caused unusual phenomena such as volcanoes from which ice erupts instead of lava, groundwater full of lava and fire, creatures made of stones, earth and ice, plants with dark red leaves and almost always cloudy weather.
The island is divided in to 4 pieces:
- Zakaz the Skakdi Village
Zakaz is Skakdi village. It is located between The Great Mountain of Chaos and The Cavernous Forest. The buildings are built of stone, bone, steel, leather and wood, but most of the time you will see tents.
The inhabitants of the five clans live in the village. The Malachite Clan, led by Zaktan, the Obsidian clan, led by Hakann, the Dravit clan, led by Avak and Reidak, the Howlite clan, led by Thok and the Tanzanite clan, led by Vezok.
There are five clans:
-The Malachite clan takes care of hunting and scouting.
-The Obsidian clan takes care of guarding, training warriors and gladiatorial fighting in the arena.
-The Dravit clan takes care of, timber harvesting, healthcare, construction, and making weapons and armor.
-The Howlite clan is responsible for archiving, storage and defense.
-The Tanzanite clan takes care of fishing, defending against attacks from the sea, and has been selected to lead other clans.
(And yes, I did named the clans after gemstones. I’m really bad thinking up names.)
- Xia The Vortix City
Xia is a beautiful City decorated with gold, silver and other electrically conductive metals. It’s a city of high class and danger for foreigners.
The city is made around electrical conductivity. So if the Skakdi somehow come in to the city a lightning vortixx , for example Roodaka easily can drop a powerful electric current through the gold and steel floors to fry them alive.
- The the Battlefield of ash
The battlefield is covered in ashes, remains of fortifications and the remains of the fallen. Several times Skakdi and Vortixx fight here.
- Karzakh Castle/Tempel
A big castle in the middle of the island and home to The All Seeing Tree.
(Sorry for the small size of the image)
Other locations:
- The Great Mountains of Chaos
- The Cavernous Forest
- The bay of the forgotten
Bio:
After Karzahni made the lightning tribe and when Makuta and Ekimu isolated him on the island he did some More or less immoral experiments with elements that had terrifying results. But in time with the power of his mask he saw something Dangerous coming or may be coming, but in any way he will not allow even the possibility. His mask not only showed him what would happen but also the solution. It showed Karzahni the only way to stop this danger is by combining the power The Elemental Gods or by combining The Elemental Gods themselves in to one being. The problem is he can’t ask them for help or make new Elemental Gods. He can steal their power, but one step to the island would be immediately detected by the The Elemental Gods. And when Makuta, Ekimu and The Elemental Gods find out and when they saw how insane he was. They are almost immediately imprisoned him on the island of Mahri-Nui.
But he had a contingency plan if his brothers had stopped his plan. Which would be activated if Karzahni disappears in order to fulfill his work. This contingency plan is a creature called The All Seeing Tree, which was made from his Essence and other things. It does have some of Karzahni’s memories, but not all of them. When it woke up it immediately continue his experiments on the elements, life, death, space, time and to continued his work.
So It began to observe the island from afar. And when he saw the Matoran It was not impressed, but when he saw the Toa and their strong connection with The Elemental Gods. It wanted to make beings like them, so that it can use their strong connection with The Elemental Gods to drain The Elemental Gods of ther Elemental power.
It started right away. A few years later he made the first race with a link to the elements, the Skakdi. It used the Matoran form as a template for the Skakdi and then added characteristics from other creatures and former experiments to make them. Although they were physically stronger than the Toa and had an immunity against the same element they possess (Air Skakdi are only immune against Air element, etc.), but their connection to The Elemental Gods was weak, they could only cover the surface of their body with the element and maybe even move the element if they were very concentrated. They were a failure.
After a few years with a same process, it made a new race the Vortixx, they had a better connection with The Elemental Gods and were more intelligent than the more warrior like Skakdi, but their connection is a little better than the Matoran and not even close to the connection that Toa have. They too are a failure, closer to the goal, but still a failure.
Then after it tried to improve the Vortixx and the Skakdi, who began to fight between one and the other to prove which race is better and worth living on the island. It did not care about their war, even though it liked the chaos that the war had caused. With experiments it found new things such as Protodermis, a teleportation machine, crystals that can hold elemental energy… With Protodermis and crystals it made 6 prototype Gauntlets which can Absorb elemental energy and control it. But they did not absorb elemental energy directly from The Elemental Gods. And gave them to the Skakdi. It made a lot of Protodermis and crystals tools, but none of them was a success.
After a few years to the present, It found a flying city away from the island with violet Matoran liveing in it, It remembered violet Matoran, they were far away from the reach of The Elemental Gods. “Great” it thought to himself, and decided to kidnap the Matoran in the city to experiment on them to see how to create it’s own Toa. He called some of his ‘‘experiments’’ and sent them in to the direction of the flying city. (The teleportation machine needs a small portable machine on the site to teleport people and objects there and back.)
Vortixx
Roodaka, The Viceroy of Xia
BIO:
Roodaka was born as a low class Vortixx to a pair of Construction workers who worked as Foundation Maintainers. As a child Roodaka constantly would sneak to the top parts of the city, where she saw the luxurious life and the political power of the high class Vortixx and wanted it for her self. Over time, she made a plan to get it all.
Roodaka first got rid of her parents and everyone who knew her, which was easy enough to do. She caused one of the lifts to malfunction and made sure her parents and another girl of her age was on it when it fell. After that she disappeared and joined the army under an alias.
To others Roodaka came out of nowhere. All they know is that she joined the army in her youth, and that she quickly climbed up the ladder until she became Viceroy. All the information about her birth and family is gone. And some people think that she wants it to stay that way. And some others think she got rid of all the information about her past. Anyway, Roodaka is the only one who knows.
Personality:
She is cunning, ruthless, smart and charismatic. She always wants to gain the highest position in the city and will manipulate or get rid of anyone until she becomes the Queen. She only has one obstacle: Sidorak (which because of his importance in the defence of the City of Xia she can not get rid of.)
When she has to work with him in the defence of the city and at meetings, She will be very professional without allowing her hatred towards Sidorak to control her.
The OLD design:
The new design:
Weapons and abilities:
When it comes to weapons and abilities,She uses the Catcher Claw, which absorbs elemental energy and can also fire all the elemental energy that has accumulated in the weapon back to the enemy. In addition She uses a very fast fighting style in which she attacks with her Catcher Claw to try to grab an enemy and electrify or absorb the element energy. She always uses the surroundings to her advantage.
Sidorak: the General of the Vortixx army
WARNING: I really changed him from the oreginal.
BIO:
Sidorak is the son of the former general, and the second oldest among the three brothers. Sidorak had an interest in military tactics and in the art of war, and over time he became a better general than his father, and when time came, he replaced him. while he was studying, he met the Prince of the late King and became a friend, a friendship that has remained to this day.
Personality:
Sidorak is a loyal and trusting friend to the king and an incredible general.
He’s kind to his soldiers, but this is to have their support and loyalty. To the servants He’s rude and behave like they do not exist if they do not have anything useful to say or if he doesn’t need them. He hates if someone’s late or if they are messy AND if they interfere with his work for some stupid reason.
Sidorak has fell in love with Roodaka. In his free time he tries to swoon her, even if she repeatedly said no.
Weapons and abilities:
When it comes to weapons and abilities, He uses the ax of Xia, who, like the six Gauntlets of the Skakdi leaders, absorbs the elemental energy and adds them to Sidorak. Sidorak can use this with his style of fighting to slaughter a large amount of Skakdi. He uses his elemental abilities to wrap himself in flames then makes Copies made of fire to confuse his enemies while attacking them when they do not expect it or attacking with skillful blows from the ax of Xia.
(I’m bad at making up names.)
Teridax the king of Vortixx
BIO: Teridax has a simple past, he was the son of the previous king, and he became king when his father died.
Personality:
Teridax hides his ego and ruthless cunning with a facade of honesty and friendliness. He only cares for the wellbeing of Him self, His allies and His people (High class and Middle class Vortixx), everything else he doesn’t care or hates. Only a while ago he began to behave a bit differently, he became less sociable, paranoid and some servants, even heard him talk with someone who wasn’t even there.
The OLD design:
The new design:
Weapons and abilities:
Like Roodaka, He’s a lightning vortixx and uses his power to manipulate the lightning, shot lightning, etc. But what is strange is that He produces red lightning. This electricity is much more chaotic and can be used to manipulate metals. This red electricity appeared when Teridax took the staff Karzahni. In hand-to-hand combat he’s weak , only knowing basic combat skills.
Skakdi:
Zaktan
BIO:
Zaktan was a very fast learner in her youth. And quickly, she became one of the best hunters. When the former leader died, she was chosen by the clan to become the new clan leader.
Personality:
Zaktan is very smart, cunning, patient and vicious. She enjoys hunting, to her there is no greater pleasure than hunting her prey and then killing it. She finds to kill her prey without hunting it, very boring. She is also known for her short temper, if anybody opposes her back. She is known to break their arms or legs.
Weapons and abilities:
For her abilities, she has immunity to the air element and great physical strength, and due to the Gauntlet of Storms, she has strong control over the air. With the Gauntlet of the storm, she learned to convert her body into a thick green gas to fly or to go through small holes, cracks, grids, etc. But although She has immunity against the air element, She has no resistance to other elements. For weapons, he uses a hunting dagger and the Gauntlet of Storms. The Gauntlet can change it’s shape into a fan that produces powerful air strikes and small tornadoes and falcon-shaped claws that produce spheres of compacted air that can be fired at her enemies. But the Gauntlet has a limit on how much elemental energy it can be stored, and if you use it too much, the Gauntlet will change back into its usual form and she will lose many of her elemental abilities, When fighting against someone, she always avoid their attacks and hit them with their hands or with her hunting knife into their weak spots. She uses the Gauntlet only against large clusters and those who survive; she quickly kills them individually.
Hakann, The Ash Maker
BIO:
Even as a child, he was problematic and has repeatedly made trouble. Hakann was disciplined by the Leader of the Obsidian clan and eventually started to hated him for it. He repeatedly challenged the Leader of the Obsidian clan on a duel, and he lost each time, which made him hate the Leader of the Obsidian clan even more. But, over time, he became a very powerful warrior and became acquainted with Vezok.When Vezok became the leader of The Tanzanite clan, he gave him a bottle of green liquid, Which Vezon once found on the beach. Hakann immediately drank the bottle before Vezok had the opportunity to tell him not to do it. The fluid increased muscle mass, thickness of armor and size. A year later, he challenged the Leader of the Obsidian clan to Rakas, the duel to the death, for the leadership of the clan. Hakan won this fight and showed what happened to those who wanted to challenge him. He ripped the now former Leader into two.
Personality:
Hakann is very aggressive, impatient, egoistic and as one of the clan leaders is not too smart. he likes to fight and prove his power. He will often compete in doubles of power with Reidak, Which has become very popular events.
Weapons and abilities:
As Skakdi he is immune to his element (in his case is fire ), and he has great physical strength. Because of the Vulcan Gauntlet, his elemental abilities are increased. And the mutation increased his strength, armor, and gave him the ability to launch himself into an enemy like a rocket. Otherwise, he has no immunity against other elements, and the Volcanic Gauntlet has a limit on how much elemental energy it has stored in one time (like with Zaktan).
For weapons, he has the Vulcan Gauntlet and his fists. The Volcanic Gauntlet has only two forms, the standard form and a Lava claw that can shoot lava spheres.
In battle, he is the definition of brutal, striking, crushing burning, and destroying his enemies with heavy blows and kicks.
Avak
BIO:
Avak was very clever ever since childhood. He often made small weapons and mechanisms. And over time, his knowledge and skills became better and better. His greatest achievement is the huge catapult with the name of Eclipse. Because of this achievement, the leader of the Enstatite clan chose him to be his successor. But one day, the leader of the Diopside clan came to the leader of Enstate the clan to make a deal. The deal was that her daughter would be married to their best craftsman, and in return she would give him complete supervision and control over obtaining all the resources. The leader quickly took the deal. The leader Enstat the clan retained his part of the deal and gave his best craftsman, Avak. Avak was opposed this, but eventually he conceded to the marriage. He married the daughter of the Enstatite clan leader. Her name was Reidak. The wedding brought the two clans together in the Dravit clan.
Personality:
Avak is very iteligent, calm and very protective of his creations and for a good reason. Because he lives with Reidak, who is known to love destroying things. He is known to be a workaholic who has prioritizes his work before sleeping, wich makes him very irritable. When he comes to Reidak, he’s on okay terms with her.
Weapons and abilities:
When it comes to his abilities, he has immunity from the stone element and great physical strength, and because of the Seismic Gauntlet, his stone elemental abilities increase. But as other leaders, he has no resistance to the other elements and the Seismic Gauntlet has a limit on how much elemental energy it has. Otherwise Avak is weak when it comes to hand to hand combat and rather fights from far away. The seismic Gauntlet has three forms: Standard, Stone Saw and Crystal Blaster.
Reidak:
BIO: Reidak was a very hyperactive child who liked to smash things. In time, her hyperactivity decreased, but did not leave. When she got old enough to marry, no man was willing to marry her because they were all afraid of her. And because in her clan it’s a embarrassment that a young woman or man does not marry and a unmarried woman or man can not take over the leadership of the clan. That is why her mother made an agreement with the head of the Enstatite clan to marry their best craftsman. Reidak did not have any problem with this and did not care about it. Her marriage with Avak brought together the Diopside clan and the Enstatite clan in to the Dravit clan.
Personality:
Reidak is hyperactive, impatient and she likes to Destroy things, but she is smart and sometimes she dose says something wise. She hates Hakanns egoism and likes to challenge him to a duel to push him off his high horse. The duels often ends in a tie.
Weapons and abilities:
Like the other leaders, she has immunity from her element and great physical strength. But since she is a Earth Skakdi she has excellent night vision. The weapon uses the Landslide Gauntlet, which changes its shape in to a thorn drill and saw. When she fights, she uses her strength and flexibility to quickly approaches overcome the enemy and hit her with powerful blows with her weapons or fists. She has no immunity against other elements, and the Landslide Gauntlet has a limit on how much elemental energy it can stored in one time. Her eyes are secitivne to high bursts of light.
