So, I've finally come up with 'backstory' for my MOCs. I decided to come up with these on the fly after realising I'd created 17 separate MOCS without having to disassemble any, and thought a shared 'canon' would be fun to devise. Apologies for the photographs not being up-to-my-usual-snuff, but the weather is terrible and consequently I can't get my typical good lighting. If you're curious about individual figures, I have solo shots. Anyway; without further ado:
>”Together, we can do anything!”
>Toa Pauzu was split in two during his descent from the heavens; a result of a meteorite colliding with him on his way to Okoto. The result was a fire Master bereft of temper – calm, collected and Zen, much to the befuddlement of his tribe. This did not last long however, as his missing half was quick to find him. Calling itself ‘Kazau’, the villager-sized imp of a Toa is able to bond with his soul brother, causing a dramatic shift in personality as Pauzu becomes pent up with volcanic power!
>”You say jump? I’ll say: How high.”
>Ojiko is a Master of Insects. While his kin playfully chide him for the apparent uselessness of his innate power, this Toa proves their fun and games false on a regular basis. Not only can he bend all the creepy crawlies of Okoto to his whim, he is also possessed of a bug’s strength relative to his size – he can leap tall buildings, carry ten times his own weight and even punch through solid steel. Not bad.
>”The six of us are bound by forces beyond our understanding.”
>The jungles of Okoto were much more volatile in ancient times, if it can be believed. This has given the acid-scarred Pakendi a grim, bony appearance when compared to his fellows; yet his is the heart which beats with the most compassion. The old ‘shaman’ of the group, Pakendi uses his Mask of Visions to guide and to keep safe those who are closest to him – his family. He has a particular rapport with Pauzu… at least, when Kazau isn’t around.
