he searches through the endless desert, fighting off the strange creatures of this new world. he only has one objective, find his team and make whoever took them pay for what they have done. The only thing that keeps him going, is the light around his neck

so this guy is literally the first self MOC -or any MOC for that matter- that I have ever made.
Personality: Karu is charismatic and humorous, however he does not like it when people make fun of him, depending on his mood he can go from violently lashing out at them to being mildly annoyed or even laughing with them. He does not like being beaten, and he trains to do whatever he can to make sure it does not happen again. He cares very much for his team and would do anything to keep them safe. When the situation calls for it, he will become very serious and tactical

Story: Karu lived on the southern continent and was a Ta-Matoran mask forger and an engineer. However when the great cataclysm struck, he and a group of 5 other matoran were trapped in a cave for 15 weeks, Soran matoran of plasma, Crobic matoran of sonics, Naoma matoran of lightning, Kio matoran of gravity, and Vumopai matoran of plantlife. They finally escaped when a toa of gravity and a toa of psionics found them and lifted the rocks to free them. over that time him and these 5 matoran came to care for each other and fight together against anything that the universe threw at them. Fast forward to Spheres Magna the matoran have learned from the Agori’s culture and Karu and Naoma have fallen for each other and are a couple now. Karu created a necklace for himself and Naoma that is conected to their life force and glows as long as they are still alive.

The matoran were summoned to a suva by toa Boomanga and were turned into toa for a reason they still do not know (I know however). They were looking for a rogue straggler named Tuma to take him into custody, and that is were it all went wrong. What they met were a group of Baterra who knocked all of them unconsciousness and took them all prisoner except for Karu who was left with coordinates to a location and nothing but a lust for revenge.

Mask: Hau

Weapons: Forging hammer and fire spear

EDIT Here are the better pictures

Interesting but the gunmetal grey looks really out of place…

I like how you armored the torso.

Nice starting MOC, workes out nice. Main thing I’d suggest is getting rid of the gunmetal shoulders, and taking some more pics of the weapon.

Ben you’re breaking our hearts here

8

I want to fix this problem but I can’t find any gold or red plates in that size, if their are any please tell me

soon

9

There are some red plates a size smaller than that.

10

Actually, I like the gunmetal gray.

This violates the #1 rule of making torsos.

The upper half needs to be flat to the lower half, or stick out a bit over the lower half

He looks kinda pudgy :confused:

12

It doesn’t need to be. There’s nothing wrong with making a MOC that doesn’t have idealized muscular proportions. Maybe he’s supposed to look pudgy.

You make it sound like Ekorak is a hypocrite.

Maybe so but it’s just something that bothers me and wasn’t explained.

15

I don’t think I said that. I was referring to Karu, not any of Ek’s MOCs.

I would also argue his belief in the order of rules of building torsos, but that is neither here nor there.

Brain attack rocka comes with four, four long gold peices. Also i really like the way this came together. Story is also wonderfull (:

17

sure you could say that

thanks but I need medium sized ones, however controversial this is, I think I’m going to keep the gunmetal for now, I don’t know what it is but I like the look of it, thanks for the compliment though :slight_smile:

18

I like the gunmetal also, matches his necklace.

19

Size four is the medium ones. Size five is the long and three is the small.
