The Brotherhood of Makuta - What About a Community MOC Project?

@MakutaTexxidos

Well, I won’t keep you from it. It probably wouldn’t have any effect on my drawing though, since Ahkaxx wears a canon mask.

@Irrie

So you wanna do a male Makuta?

sigh Time for the next updated list. Unfortunately I already can’t edit the old one anymore, even though I expected this to be the case only after tomorrow, but well …
Here’s the whole thing again (with half an hour of work spent on formatting):


I’ll put the complete set of rules below it, so definitely take a look if you want to participate!
Even if the first post says something different, what is written here is the real thing.
The first post still includes some other information you should read before entering, though!


:pencil2: = drawing done
:writing_hand: = “Book of the Brotherhood” entry completed but not yet edited
:pen_ballpoint: = “Book of the Brotherhood” entry done

Both, the drawing and the “Book of the Brotherhood” entry will be posted once the project is complete. For more information see post 374 and 470.

To be assigned

  • 5 other male Makuta
  • Kojol

Notes:

The five Makuta who sided with Miserix at the convocation are all done already.
The two Makuta who were kept by Teridax to create Kraata after he took over the Matoran Universe and were later killed are done already.
The Makuta who was killed by Toa Zaria is done already.
All female Makuta are assigned/already done.

@AdamusTheFirst
MOCs will be accepted, when trio is complete with proper backstory.

@TFM101
Don’t forget to update Krika

@Silver_Falcon
Falkin will get accepted as soon as the Makuta he killed is done and gets accepted

@Sammythekat
Zurel needs either to be redone or replaced by another Makuta

@darkbrick999
Better pics are needed in order to get Kohuru accepted.

@Cyclopian
There’s still some work needed to get Rerekei’s MOC accepted.

If I got anything wrong, please tell me.


Rules

CONCERNING THE MOC:

1) Makuta wear Kanohi
Your MOC should wear a mask or have a head that looks like a mask.

2) Good design
Your MOC should look like something you spent some time on. It needs a proper colour scheme and should also get the “Makuta look” across.

3) Colour Scheme
Makuta as beings of Shadow should not have a colour scheme associated with Light. You can use gold pieces (if you really have to) or white armor, but no white and gold colour scheme.

4) Titan Size
Ideally your MOC should have the complexity of a Titan build, although I’m somewhat tollerant in that point. Have a look at my Makuta MOCs if you want to get an impression of what I deem perfect in that regard.

5) “Original” Form
The Makuta should be humanoid and not mutated. This means they should walk upright, have exactly two legs, one head and a minimum of two arms. You’re allowed to add more arms, wings, tail(s) etc.

6) Picture Quality
At least the main picture of your MOC shouldn’t be too dark/too bright/blurred and such. Everyone should be able to tell colours apart and see details.

7) CCBS and Technic
This is a project that aims at creating G1 characters. It would make me extremely happy if you could use no CCBS parts for your MOC.
But since the era of the G1 building system is 5 years gone and some of you understandably don’t have any/very few G1 parts, CCBS MOCs of course will get accepted, too. But please at least consider using no CCBS if you can. Thanks.

CONCERNING THE BACKSTORY:

1) Kanohi rule:
Your Makuta aren’t allowed to wear the following masks (again, just to be sure: Your MOC can wear any mask you like, you just have to say that it is a different mask):

  • Avsa, Mask of Hunger
  • Mohtrek, Mask of Time Duplication
  • Shelek, Mask of Silence
  • Jutlin, Mask of Corruption
  • Othla, Mask of Fear (name by 21sselliW)
  • Pakari, Mask of Strength
  • Kiril, Mask of Regeneration
  • Matatu, Mask of Telekinesis
  • Kualsi, Mask of Quick Travel
  • Mautru, Mask of Mutation (name by Tolkien from BZPower)
  • obviously not the Kraahkan, but also no mask that is “shaped like a Kraahkan”
  • no masks that just exist in very limited numbers (Olmak, Kanohi Nuva, etc.)

This doesn’t apply to already accepted MOCs. It doesn’t apply to canon Makuta with known masks either, of course, but it does apply to those whose masks aren’t given.
There might be Kanohi added to this list from time to time, so be sure to have a look before uploading your MOC.

2) Canon story rule:
Your Makuta has to die before the entrance to Karda Nui is discovered. That would be around the time Jaller and his friends set out to find the Toa Nuva.
(the “no longer Makuta” side paragraph doesn’t work anymore)

Again, this obviously excludes canon Makuta, whose fates we know.

3) Dark Hunter - Brotherhood of Makuta War Rule
No more Makuta are allowed to have found their end through the hands of the Dark Hunters after outbreak of the war (shortly after Mata Nui was put to sleep)

4) Makuta kill Makuta rule A
Your Makuta isn’t allowed to kill another Makuta except if you do another Makuta MOC which is killed by the first one in its backstory. If so, tell me and that first MOC will get accepted as soon as the second one gets accepted, too.

5) Toa kill Makuta rule
Toa aren’t allowed to be responsible for your Makuta’s death.

6) Death through the Order of Mata Nui rule:
No more Makuta are allowed to have died through the hands of the Order of Mata Nui. The exception are canon Makuta.

7) Makuta kill Makuta rule B:
If your Makuta is killed by another Makuta, I (Gilahu) might request you to change the killer’s name if I feel like this Makuta already killed enough others or doesn’t fit as killer. You’re allowed to use every Makuta accepted into this project as killer, as long as it makes sense (in my eyes).

8) Warrior rule:
Your Makuta isn’t allowed to be a full-time warrior or best known for his/her fighting abilities. Your Makuta is allowed to fight in the battle against the Barraki, but should not play a major role there.

9) Rahi creator rule:
Your Makuta isn’t allowed to specifically create only/mostly dangerous Rahi, very big Rahi or try to create anything other that is particularly big and/or dangerous.


Backstory help

If you need help with a backstory, I’m always ready to help.

Here are some suggestions (thanks to @E44 with helping out here) (please tell me if you want to use one of these):

  • Makuta Chasnon (post 334)
  • a Makuta who shunned his inner shadow and became a Makuta of Light (somewhat like in the Melding alternate Universe) but was killed because of … reasons even prior to the war with the Barraki by his brethren (@Sammythekat)
  • a Makuta who specialized on creating crablike Rahi - absorbed by Chirox after they together created the Zivon (so that Chirox could take all the credit for it (or something))
  • a Makuta who studied elemental powers and how it worked that they could be activated in a Matoran during the transformation into a Toa. In the days after Teridax’s takeover this Makuta thus captured multiple Matoran and Toa and experimented with them. He eventually found out a lot about the mysterious “Toa Power” in the process and even might have been able to extract it from Toa and create Toa stones with it. (@Silver_Falcon)
  • a Makuta who was a poison expert (@Aegyptiacus)
  • a Makuta who was the physician of Destral
  • a Makuta who got the idea for the Fohrok (can be combined with another one here)
  • a Makuta who liked being an architect and designed the layout and buildings of Destral

Death sources:

  • prior to Teridax’s takeover and the Makuta’s evolution they could still die by simply stabbing them with a pointy stick in the right place. After the evolution it wasn’t so easy anymore
  • Makuta were working with viruses to create Rahi. They were able to create a virus that put Mata Nui to sleep and eventually killed him and also one that devoured Protosteel. Perhaps one Makuta wasn’t careful enough while creating a certain new virus and became … ill. And later died from that disease.
  • death by trying to absorb something too powerful/too many beings at once

There might be things added/removed here from time to time.

Yeah, sorry about that.

My parts bins declared that Shornos is as done as he will get, but I’m having difficulty with the camera again. (The camera belongs to my cousin, and she doesn’t want me to touch it.)

I might be able to get pics later today.

@TBT_Emerald

No hurry needed.
The notes are are there to remind people that they’re not done, but they’re also there to help me not loosing the overview over which MOCs actually exist already but need still some work.

Yo! I’d like to submit another entry soon. It might not be the best, due to piece shortages, but I’ll try my best to make it presentable. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

@Povak

Then I’ll put you on the list for another male Makuta.

Could I have that idea for “Security Chief of Destral?” I also might need help with backstory for this one; got no ideas.

Well, Hormahk was the interrogator of anyone that got caught on Destral and didn’t belong, as well as any Makuta that needed to be disciplined. The security chief would effectively be Hormahk’s boss, dealing with troublemakers and sending them over to Hormahk to interrogate. He’d settle disputes, and would side with Teridax because it was the best way to resolve the dispute.

I was thinking of making him a Makuta with a mask of transformation.

So he’d have a spindly form to be undetected while on watch, and a monstrous form when he actually has to do something.

That sounds almost exactly like the story I am toying with for my current Makuta build. Do you mind if I claim it?

@Povak

Sure you can.

As to backstory I really only need the basics: What did he mostly do and how did he die.
What @pizzacheetah said is aczually something that would fit in quite well with my plans. After Hormahks death during the Convocation your Makuta could have been made master of the dungeons by Teridax.
As to his death … perhaps something along the way of being punished for letting Norik and his team steal the mask of Light?

A mask of Transformation seems a little odd to me, though, since Makuta are shapeshifters.


@Silver_Falcon

Sure you can use that.

I have made a prototype for my Makuta. I don’t have all the pieces I want in all the colors I want 'em, but I’d be alright to send you pictures if you want proof that Jaglak is in fact structurally built at this time.

@E44

No need. I’m fine with your Makuta getting finished when it does. Only try not to forget about it. :wink:
