So I revamped an old thing.
Name: Tautoko
Age: depends on current universe
Alignment: lawful good
Powers: flame spirit, martial arts
Likes: peace, helping others, and companionship
Dislikes: seeing others hirt and not being able to help in dire situations
So who is this character?
Concept and backstory:
If your familiar with the old version of this guy, it’s pretty much the same. Each of his adventures start with him waking up somewhere with him having no memories and Subsequently follows the hero’s cycle. Over the corse of his journey he meets new allies, faces challenges, and learns more about himself and his capabilities as a character. While every adventure is different, there is always a few things that stay the same. He always has the same powers, meets the same wise mentor/friend character (alongside other characters unique to the story) who holds some knowledge of Tautoko’s role universe without telling him, and at the end of his adventure he gains ownership of a magical golden item weather it be by treasure in a dragons hoard, a family heirloom given to him by a newfound friend for helping them, or some other means. When he obtains the item, he is warped out of the current universe and into another where he looses his memory and repeats the cycle except with some of the skills he learned in the previous universe that will help him on his journey.
Personally:
Tautoko is a kind hearted character. No matter what the current universe is he will always try to protect his friends and give it all when it really counts and dive into the action at a moments notice. His gentle nature is his downfall however, as any malicious aponent can take advantage of his mercy and betray him. Even then he can learn from his mistakes and can do the right thing even if the greater good is not what he wants it to be.
Powers and abilities:
Tautoko’s greatest strength is his physical prowess and dexterity. Without weapons he focuses on using his hands and feet in a flurry of fast blows o down and opponent, but that’s not his only weapon.
Through his breathing and heartbeat he is able to harness his life energy and use it in his attacks in the form of energy equal to the energy of fire and light. Think of it being something like ki or hamon/ripple. In combat he has infuse his engergy into his fists, fingers and other parts of his body to increase his damage or accomplish encredible feats. He can also force his energy into another. Person or object in the form of an overdrive. Other than that it’s pretty open ended.
The build of the moc:
The basic build of the torso and head is the same itch a few tweaks to the former, the only differences being the back, arms, and legs. There is one ng you can do however…
You open up his back…
You take this little guy…
And then you stick this little guy in there and now you have a giant mech suit!
There’s no real reason for this as its non-canon but I just wanted to have a giant mech suit for minifigures while this guy was in progress and decided to add in this little feature.
Here’s a shot with some other old farts I’ve made:
Also before anyone says anything not to sound rude here’s what it looks like with an extra armor piece on the open ball joints on his knees:
Also with a slightly modified hand build:
And now just some miscellaneous pictures of this guy in different poses:
I hope you enjoyed. I’m also working on my setup a bit more and trying to find some better lightbulbs that don’t add that yellowish-orange tint to everything. Other than that please like, comment, and share your thoughts!
