Okay; here’s what I was thinking concerning the shadow Toa: she represents a small community of Shadow Matoran that were created in one of Mutran’s early shadow leech experiments. Having no further interest in them, Mutran pretty much left the now-outcasts to their fate, so since then they’ve been slowly trying to re-establish themselves in spite of the stigma their new element affords them. This would be before the “Klakk Cure” was discovered, so they don’t know that there could be hope for them to return to their former lives.
As a being of shadow, there’d definitely be a sinister edge to her personality, but I don’t think that shadow makes one inherently evil; that’s just the reputation that the Makuta have given it.
Mestrelis, Toa of Shadow (formerly Matoran of Water) Colors: Black, shades of blue. Equipment: spear or trident, inorganic Kanohi Calix Personality: brooding, quiet, cooperative in the interest of earning trust, but rarely hopeful about the outcome of any interaction or situation; jaded by experience.
We have another player from elsewhere now too, so that puts us at a team larger than 6. For that reason I’ll call it a day for recruitment, in order to avoid too many players to keep track of.
We’ll arrange proper character sheet creation and stuff when things get sorted out a bit.
Whoops, I think I got my timeline a little mixed up…
Did the Great Cataclysm happen before the events of 2004, or somewhere else? I’ve always been confused about when exactly it happened…[quote=“Katuko, post:23, topic:24619”]
little focus on the major G1 events
[/quote]
Colors: Black and tan. Equipment: Cordak Blaster, Kadin mask of flight and his fist. Personality: He is really prideful and easily angered and slow to forgive. But he is a nice guy once you get to know him.
the Great Cataclysm happened during '04. So, before '04 is before the Cataclysm, after '04 is after the Cataclysm. Our story, therefore, will probably take place either before '04, or after '03, when the Matoran moved back into Metru Nui and proceeded to rebuild it.
Features for my character…
Erdek, Toa of stone
Colors: Burnt orange, dark tan, gunmetal grey.
Equipment: A large heavy warhammer .Wears a Kanohi Pakari, Mask of Strength.
Personality: A bit over the top and obsessed with the greater good. Bad at following orders and far to loud to even attempt stealth. But friendly, trusting and a good fighter. Not the brightest mind but laid back and very positive.
Backstory: he was once from a Toa team of the six traditional elements, but three other members were recruited to certain Toa Hagah teams and the remaining three split up and now wander around alone helping solve problems (such as this one here).
It’d be a pretty cool Skakdi power to have, though, if it fits with the others balance-wise. I’m still trying to figure out what a good set of skills and feats would be for a ‘hit and run’ fighter wielding a scythe…
