Okay, this is going to be sloppy; You have been warned.
Makuta Syrai is my first attempt to build a female Makuta MOC. When I think of Makuta, I think of the Phantoka, and the bat asthetic really appeals to me. I tried real hard to evoke the 08 vibe with Syrai, and I think with that, at least, I succeeded. This was also my first try at a custom torso ever, and while I think it could have been done better I am proud of the way it turned out. I think she looks pretty dangerous IRL. That being said, there are obviously things that can be improved on. The most glaring would be the chest from the side view, as the way the armour is placed makes it so she is unable to look down. I’m not quite sure how to fix it, so any suggestions for that would be appreciated (any suggestions at all, really.)
Thanks for taking the time to help me improve! (Posting this on mobile so I apologize for terrible formatting/grammar.)
P.S. Also imagine that all four appendages have the skrall armour. I’ve got the fourth somewhere, I just need to track it down.
@Gilahu I’m sorry about the Inika arms. I put at least fourteen hours in to building her some custom appendages, and nothing seems to work. I’m still working on it, so I’m hopeful I’ll get there, but it may take awhile

Update 7/2/17: Like all other Makuta, Syrai was created from Antidermis by the Great Beings, and assigned to watch over the Matoran Universe. Whilst inside the Mata Nui robot, Syrai served as a scribe of sorts, writing down every detail of everything discussed by Mizerix and Teridax. She did her job dutifully, enjoying her rather scholarly life, free of dealing with creatures she considered to be of inferior intellect and genetics. When the leadership of the brotherhood came into turmoil, Syrai sided with Teridax, believing his stories to be more thrilling to transcribe. She was proven correct, as Teridax described the Plan to her in great detail. Unfortunately for Syrai, this included The Pit, where she had her essence transported to a Maxilos robot to house it while they travelled through the depths. While documenting Teridax’s travels and findings in the prison, she happened to spot the Mask of Life at the same time as a Gudunka crab. The Rahi got there first, and the Mask enlarged it by enormous proportions. The Rahi grabbed at Syrai, who could not fight it due to her inexperience with the workings of a Maxilos robot, and the metallic body was crushed by its jaws. Desperate, her essence found Teridax, who informed her she would no longer be necessary, as the Plan had already taken shape. Feeling alone and betrayed, Syrai’s essence was unable to find another host body, and she died alone beneath the waves.
Powers and Abilities:
As a Makuta, Syrai had access to all forty-two kraata powers, as well as the element of shadow. Her regular Kanohi was the Mask of Reliving, which allowed her to feel the emotions of others at their time of death, as well as those who killed them.
