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

Can I have the spot?

@HistorianIvan

Sure, Iā€™ll put you on the list for a non-canon male Makuta. Make sure to read the rules in post 1157 if you havenā€™t already.


Updated list is in post 1157
Rules can be found in post 1157 and additions in post 1
All Makuta are currently assigned

Sighā€¦ forgot again to update the list in time. Well, hereā€™s the new one.


Iā€™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: = ā€œBook of the Brotherhoodā€ entry completed but not yet edited
:pen_ballpoint: = ā€œBook of the Brotherhoodā€ entry done
:mask: = revamp done

Both, the drawing and the ā€œBook of the Brotherhoodā€ entry will be posted once the project is complete. For more information see post 374 and 470.
For more information about those revamps see post 849 as well as the Antidermis pool WIP topic.

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.

@TFM101
What about that update on your Krika MOC?

@AdamusTheFirst
Donā€™t forget your third MOC and the backstory for your MOCs


Hereā€™s a map of all currently assigned regions based on the map that @Silver_Falcon provided we with - thanks again for that!

Artidax - Anjan
grey=not to be assigned to a Makuta

to be assigned - Southern Southern Continent, Southeastern Southern Continent

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 ā€œMakuta lookā€ 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 Iā€™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) ā€œOriginalā€ 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. Youā€™re allowed to add more arms, wings, tail(s) etc.

6) Picture Quality
At least the main picture of your MOC shouldnā€™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 donā€™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 arenā€™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 in that case):

  • 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)
  • Hau, Mask of Shielding
  • Akaku, Mask of X-Ray Vision
  • Iva, Mask of Awareness (makes the user know everything going on within 3 bio) (name by Aegyptiacus)
  • Ifriti, Mask of Rage (basically berserk mode) (name byā€¦ Silver_Falcon and Toa_Distraxx?)
  • obviously not the Kraahkan, but also no mask that is ā€œshaped like a Kraahkanā€
  • no masks that just exist in very limited numbers (Olmak, Kanohi Nuva, etc.)

This doesnā€™t apply to already accepted MOCs. It doesnā€™t apply to canon Makuta with known masks either, of course, but it does apply to those whose masks arenā€™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 ā€œno longer Makutaā€ side paragraph doesnā€™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 isnā€™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 arenā€™t allowed to be responsible for your Makutaā€™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 killerā€™s name if I feel like this Makuta already killed enough others or doesnā€™t fit as killer. Youā€™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 isnā€™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 isnā€™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. This includes weapons. It doesnā€™t include coming up with the idea for the Fohrok and/or Exo-Toa.


Backstory help

If you need help with a backstory, Iā€™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 Suurat (post 120)
  • a Makuta who shunned his inner shadow and became a Makuta of Light (somewhat like in the Melding alternate Universe) but died even prior to the war with the Barraki (@Ghidora131)
  • 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 Teridaxā€™s takeover this Makuta thus captured multiple Matoran and Toa and experimented with them. He eventually found out a lot about the mysterious ā€œToa Powerā€ in the process and even might have been able to extract it from Toa and create Toa stones with it.
  • a Makuta who was the physician of Destral (@ToaPanda)
  • a Makuta who got the idea for the Fohrok (can be combined with another one here)

Death sources:

  • prior to Teridaxā€™s takeover and the Makutaā€™s evolution they could still die by simply stabbing them with a pointy stick in the right place. After the evolution it wasnā€™t so easy anymore

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

Will we be able to preview the Book of the Brotherhood before itā€™s completed? Iā€™m curious to see what youā€™ve got in store for the project.

Thereā€™s a bit of a preview on post 374 of this topic, if you want to take a look at that.

@Irrie

Like @Willess12 said, thereā€™s kind of a preview in post 374 - those texts are unedited, though, so the final ones will be much better ;).

I might give you another preview of canon Makuta texts once Iā€™ve completed 50 texts, but that might take a while yet. Currently Iā€™m only working on the drawings (64 done!) since my motivation to write is a little diminished by being forced to write a scientific paper thing to graduate from university at the momentā€¦

I know iā€™ve been here 3 times, but if nobody wants to build anything, and you are hard-pressed for a Makuta, I am open to the thought. If anyone else wants to make one, however, I am ready to step down.

@MysteryMuffin

Iā€™d like to keep it to a maximum of three Makuta per person at the moment. Iā€™ll keep you in mind, though, should I ever change that again.

Iā€™d be willing to create something, since you have a spot to fill.

@jayzor17

Ok, Iā€™ll put you on the list for a non canon male Makuta then. Make sure to read the rules in post 1223 if you havenā€™t already.

Ok, the month since I posted the reminders is over - the following people are removed from the list due to inactivity - as long as there are Makuta left you can always rejoin, though:

@Silver_Falcon - Iā€™ll accept Falkin but will modify his backstory according to the rules eventually.
