##GENERAL INFORMATION:
This is my first LDD-only Toa. I have made Rahi without a physical model as a reference before, but I have never made a Toa in this manner. I’ll post the Rahi MOCs at a later date, when I have taken “good” pictures of them. As I am terrible at coming up with names, I have not given a “real name” to this Toa. I will simply call it “Earth Toa 1.3.1,” as that is the version number of the file. Any suggestions in regard to names would be helpful.
As one might be able to tell, I did not use the new CCBS when making this model. While I don’t dislike it, I much prefer the old Technic/BIONICLE system, as I am more comfortable with it.
“Earth Toa 1.3.1” has a total of 217 pieces and would stand about 200 mm tall at full height if it were a real model. I used a color scheme with this model that includes Black, Dark Grey, Grey, and Metallic Dark Grey (Titanium Metallic in LDD). The 2M Cross Axles were colored red, the Connecting Bushing W/Cross Axles were colored bright blue, the 2M and 3M Connector Pegs W/Friction were colored black, and all the Cross Axles longer than 2M were colored their appropriate colors (I hope), all for the sake of realism. I know that the blue and red break up the color scheme, but I wanted realism anyway.
As none of LDD’s heads worked with this Toa’s mask, and I was set on using this mask for this Toa, I made a custom head for him. If people want to see a closer look of the head, then I’ll post a picture of that in comments.
##CHARACTER INFORMATION:
NAME: Onuro (Pronounced o-new-row)
TOA TEAM: Toa Manu (Pronounced maw-new)
ELEMENT: Earth
EQUIPMENT:
–1 Large Drill in right hand
–1 Shield in left hand that can also be used as a Short Sword or potentially a shovel

PERSONALITY: Typically keeps silent unless he needs to speak; Prefers to be tinkering with gadgets or exploring the underground if possible, but isn’t a complete hermit either; Can at times doubt himself and his abilites; Physically strongest of the Toa Manu, but can be gentle if the situation calls for it; More knowledgeable technologically than the rest of the Toa Manu.
KANOHI: Great Mask of Holographic Projection; Allows user to project holograms of whatever the user desires; Similar to the Mahiki in that the Great Mask of Holographic Projection can also create visual copies of the user, but unlike the Mahiki, the Great Mask of Holographic Projection does not allow the user to ■■■■■■■■■■■; Level of concentration required depends on hologram’s desired distance from user, overall size of the desired hologram, and the total number of holograms desired (Increasing as distance, size, and number increase); Example usage: Projecting the image of a Rahi to scare off another Rahi.
