I’ve been thinking about Makuta Verahk a little, since I was working on his drawing. I read his “original” backstory, looked at your MOC’s topic and …
Well, @Windfall’s Makuta Dredzek topic might mention a Makuta Verahk, but for the “Book of the Brotherhood” I changed so many little things in various Makuta’s backstories that this mentioning isn’t really of importance anymore. Also Verahk doesn’t get mentioned in the “Book of the Brotherhood” entry of Dredzek.
About Verahk’s Custom Bionicle Wiki backstory: It doesn’t work for me at all in terms of G1 canon lore.
And about your MOC: Well, it definitely doesn’t look much like the “original” Verahk.
In addition - if I remember correctly - you just used the name and gave reference to the Custom Bionicle Wiki but didn’t have specific permission by Verahk’s original creator to use anything.
In short: We have a Makuta Verahk that looks nothing like the original, who will get a totally different backstory/ will be a totally different character, and who isn’t needed anymore simply because of the name. Pontential “copyright” issues aside.
Thus I deem it best if his name perhaps gets slightly changed. Something like “Vernahk” perhaps, but I’ll leave that up to you.
You don’t need to change anything in the MOC’s topic.
