Description Theme: [link]

Xalos. Originally an inhabitant of the Northern Continent who migrated to its southern island looked over by Makuta Raximoras. As its city grew and the governance changed, Xalos was chosen as captain of the city watch.

Later, after Poliaz's toa fell, Xalos was one of fifty matoran who volunteered to undergo protodermic transformation, and was one of only five to survive. He became the leader of the Toa Vanembar.

In the shadowcaverns, Xalos, alone, stumbled across a broken Great Being relic of great power. It struck him, and warped his arm. He gained the element of Spirit - a dark, twisted element considered immoral.

Later still, the murder of Maelestrak and suicide of Ekkibarus brought about the dark maelstrom known as Tempesta Magna. In hiding on the island of Mata-Nui, he was chosen to replace the Icelord. He and his brother Gringat stopped the storms.

Later still, on a newly colonised world, disaster struck. Gringat and Xalos disappeared, and the giant planet descended into the chaos of Tempesta Magna. It remains violent and inhospitable to this day, the akonians living there trapped below the crust.

As Icelord, Xalos' domains are Cold, Snow, Frost, Midnight and, to a certain degree, Nightmares and Death.

Ngh. Since Xalos is white, I couldn't really get the background right. I'll be replacing it with a matt black one soon enough.

Okay, seriously, where the devil do you get these armor/character ideas from? Heck, how are you able to get the right peices for each character you've made?! I'm jellous; I have an entire crate of peices and almost only 15 characterts.

I base my characters off the look of certain pieces, usually. So, quite often it's the right character for the pieces and not the other way around. As for inspiration, playing a lot of freeform RP games probably helps.

Xalos looks great, and I love the idea of a a Spirit element. That axe is quite nice too. And by the way, what exactly is an akonian?

Originally called it "Bone", but I looked on CBW and the Spirit element there seemed absolutely fine.

Halberd, also known as a pike. Not axe.

An Akonian is a member of the dominant species of Tempesta Caelestis, descended from the Matoran, Agori and Glatorian colonists that landed there with Gringat. They resemble humans with translucent skin, cybernetic components, bioluminescence and hair composed of fibre-optic strands. There are multiple races, the most numerous being the Azurites, who are bluish in colour.

My bad about the halberd, and so the Akonians aren't a hybrid of Matoran and Agori? I had that idea before, but I thought that was what Akonians were.

They are a hybrid of all three species.

How sexay~ xD

I LOVE the use of HF leg armour. Fits in very nicely.

This MOC was actually one of the first out there to use HF Armour in this way. Rashzakea and I are the first to come up with HF shin designs.

Rash said something like that during one of his reviews(cept it was entirely his own).

BTW, how good is your knowledge with weapons? If you know what a sanjiegun is, then I'll be amazed.

I don't know what one of those is, sorry.

What's a glaive? (Bet you'll get it wrong...)

KuroEtShiro In reply to Lol-Pretzel [2011-05-08 01:17:15 +0000 UTC]

Isn't it a single edged pole arm weapon that doesn't focus on momentum as much as a halberd but rather on cutting power?

BTW, a sanjiegun is a three section staff. XD I just referred it in its Chinese name.

You 'do' know your weapons. Most people would say a Glaive is like a giant shuriken, but you're actally right.

Okay. What is a Claymore then?

KuroEtShiro In reply to Lol-Pretzel [2011-05-08 02:00:25 +0000 UTC]

I'm going to be blunt, a large double edged sword with a cross hilt.

What's a zanbato? >;D

Lol-Pretzel In reply to KuroEtShiro [2011-05-08 16:35:12 +0000 UTC]

NOPE!
It's a scottish longsword with a basket hilt.

And I have no clue.

KuroEtShiro In reply to Lol-Pretzel [2011-05-08 19:11:53 +0000 UTC]

Hmm, I thought claymores usually don't have basket hilts...

A zanbato is a horse chopper.

Heh. It was a trick. There's more than one sort of sword called "Claymore".

And that sounds deliciously evil.

Right. What's a Wakzaishi?

It's basically a shorter katana not as commonly used unless your style is Niten. o.o

The kind of spear used by ancient greek hoplite soldiers.

Giant throwing-discs.

And, Idk.

What's a mall?

KuroEtShiro In reply to Lol-Pretzel [2011-05-10 21:39:37 +0000 UTC]

Fire(and wind if I must) wheels are handheld, not projectile.

aaand, don't you mean maul? A single handed hammer-like weapon?

Maybe I should just add you on Skype to avoid overspamming this page and we'll talk about weapons as much as we wish. xD
