Greetings, everyone. I am glad to know that my reports on abaasies and the Rahkshi Kal were well-received. I take pride in knowing my tales have reached new lands and more and more people are able to learn from my insights. Now I believe it is time to put a name and a face to my writings. My name is Verodha, and I am a storyteller.
Verodha
Gender: Male
Species: Ta-Matoran
Kanohi: Sileni, Mask of Sensory Aptitude (powerless, modified)
Pieces: 100
My life as a Ta-Matoran started out fairly simply, though I must admit that I was not the most punctual worker in my homeland. Between that and some injuries I had received on the job, I was sent to the island of Karzahni with the intention of getting repaired. While I was there, the master of the island shared with me wonderful stories about him and his brother, their duel for a powerful mask, and their respective roles in this world. These tales fascinated me, as no one I knew in my homeland had ever hinted at any of it beyond the master’s and his brother’s names. This led to me wondering what else I could uncover about this world.
Eventually, my repairs were completed, I was given a new mask with special lenses that aid my damaged eyes (I believe you’d call something like this “glasses”) and a weapon to defend myself, and I bid the master farewell. I do wish I was able to stay to hear more of his tales, but I found myself somewhat disturbed by how few Matoran were actually able to leave in the first place relative to how many arrived day by day. Now that I think about it, I overheard the master saying something that I was “one of his better works” before I boarded the boat.
…perhaps it is best not to ponder it and to just count my blessings on that front.
Anyway, rather than return to my homeland to just settle in and begin working again like nothing had ever happened, I took my newfound curiosity and set off on my own to uncover as many of the universe’s secrets as I could. I eagerly look forward to sharing my findings with you.
Trivia
- Verodha is not intended to be a self-MOC, but simply a voice to give to certain posts from an in-universe perspective. Essentially, Verodha will be to me what Zeyek was to JangBricks.
- Verodha is pronounced veh-ROH-dah.
- The lenses are given glow using the technique used on Toa Kualus. The eyestalk behind those lenses is trans neon orange.
- Verodha will almost certainly transform into a Toa at a later date.
