Little did the Great Beings know, but this marked the beginning of events 100,000 years in the making.
Hello, here is a piece I did recently. This is an idea I had one day. I was thinking about a scenario where Mata Nui has an existence similar to his Toa form prior to the Shattering and before the construction of the GSR.
The Great Beings put him in this body as an initial test of his AI. Even though he was built by the Great Beings, they did not posses full control over him, a degree of autonomy and self awareness was built in to him. This was so he could react spontaneously and with discretion in novel situations. But this behavior and knowledge could not be programmed, it had to be learned. Which is why they gave him this body.
This is the first body he awoke in. Plain, lacking any special powers and abilities. Almost like a child, waking up in the world, being mentored by his progenitors, the Great Beings. It would take time before he would be ready to pilot the Great Spirit Robot. But time was of the essence, and though he was new to the world, much responsibility was placed on him. This probably explained what happened later on. After all if your parents are the Great Beings, who are obsessed with things rather than people, it makes sense this outlook wears off on you.
Let me know what you think. As I’m writing this, I’m thinking that I could expand on this idea in someway, but maybe later. I had done a few pieces about 3 months ago, but fell off from doing that. Maybe I’ll get back into that. Thanks for checking out my art.
