Toa Jarell

[◊Toa Ignika◊]

The first moc I ever made. (I dont make many)

Name: Toa Jarell (pronounced "jar-L.")
Element: Plasma/Radiation
Gender: Male
Weapons: Spinning Saber (left arm) Energy Scythe (right arm)
Mask: Mask of Intangibility (it was never made into a toy, so I used a black Akaku Nuva)

Sets I used: Takanuva/ussanui, Takadox, Nocturn, Sidorak, Nokama Metru and Hordika, White Vahki (never got their names down) and I threw in some random pipes and washer peices, random ice blue toa eye peice, Black akaku Nuva from a Nuva mask pack.

Good for a first MOC. Color scheme is a bit mixed, though.

[Rekky]

Doesn't the colour look too mixed? You should take snapshots at different angles. I don't know what's that thing at Jarell's neck there.

[◊Toa Ignika◊]

The neck thing is a silver Rahkshi backplate that I used for armor. The pipe colors have meaning. Jarell was cursed over 2000 years before the Great Catacism (SP?) and it impared his hold on life. The silver tube is feeding a form of purified plasma into his body to keep him active, and the blue tube is removing and purifying the used plasma to make an endless power supply (keeping him alive and constantly replenishing his elemental power). Theres also a red tube on his back that is to work as a bloodstream.

The other colors are to represent different types of plasma I've heared of. (Red: Blood, Green: Ectoplasma, etc)

Note: If the Mask of Intangibility did have a known look, he would have a black one with a scope lense added on, like the Akaku.

EDIT: I have this pic of him from a different angle.

well, now that you have described the meanings of the colors, its not too bad for a first moc. I would start to use more custom bodies and limbs just because they make your moc look so, so, so much better.

I'm a little short on extra parts (I dont like scrapping down my sets unless its a Toa or Matoran etc)

[Mega ToaX]

Try scrapping down the ripoff sets. (Mahri, Barraki)

[◊Toa Ignika◊]

The only Barraki (is that the plural?) I have are Pridak and Takadox (and I honestly like the Pridak set) and no Toa Mahri (never liked em). I usually scrap the Hordika, Visorak, and Metru (minus Vakama and Nuju) sets. Seriousley, if you have one, you have em all. (They're all exactly the same as the others!)

[Mega ToaX]

Everything I got is scrapped except for my 2008 sets, the inika, 5 mahri... thats all. everything else is scrapped.
EDIT:How did you get the eyepiece off?!!?!?!?!

[◊Toa Ignika◊]

I pushed a long stick through the head's "mouth" with another stick on the eye peice. They pop right out.

[Ria]

The coulers are a bit random but I really like the scythe.

[Nate]

yeah, i actually do the same as MegatoaX on all my sets. i scrap them after their storyline ends.

[◊Toa Ignika◊]

The only part thats that dont really fit a color pattern are his left (blade) arm and the orange hand. (his arm is black, and both errors are fixed. i gave him a red arm and a grey right hand). In short, he was meant to be mostly Blue Green and Red. (I WOULD make it Blue Red and Purple if i could, or Blue Green and Yellow. Those make more sence, but I didnt have those color peices at the time)

Heres a few of his Elemental abilities:
1) Melting stone/Metal/etc.
2) Giving others and himself small boosts of energy.
3) Firing a beam of green energy from his hands.
4) Firing a wave of starlight radiation (must he helped by a Toa of fire or Light)
5) Can cause minor molecular distortion in living beings, making them sick/drowsy.
6) Can use Solar Plasma to bend light around him to turn invisible. (must be using his mask at the same time)
7) Can temporarily turn solid protodermis into energized liquid protodermis to mutate/empower himself or another for no more or less than an hour.

[Mega ToaX]

Most characters I see these days are just 2 colors.

[DEATH PANDA]

HOLY RAINBOW-COLORED TOA BATMAN!

Lotsa tubes there too.

Clearer pics of the spinning thing please
