Description O-jin. (ow jean), Malevolence, sadism, insanity, animosity and evil incarnate. Perhaps the nastiest Villain one could come across. He is a ruthless killer. He's rather tactless and quite mad as well. Its rumored that he's not even alive, that he is a demon or apparition. The only people to see him or his face are his colleagues in insurgence of darkness, a group of very powerful, skilled, revered and feared combatants who operate outside of both the brotherhood of Makuta and the dark hunters guild, though are comprised of members of both. You could say they are an "in between" of the brotherhood and the DHG, and beyond them at the same time. Anyone else who is said to have seen the eyes of this demon were slain by him for that very act on its own. Like every member in the insurgency O-jin is some form of mercenary and assassin. He was inducted into the insurgency because they needed a member who could handle and specialize in missions pertaining to ice terrain(more so than ryakk) and it was a smarter decision to make O-jin an ally than an enemy. O-jin's strength doesn't necessarily lie in physical strength or speed, but more so his quick unpredictable fighting and skillful use of his weapons.

I drew from a Japanese influence on this character. for instance his hat. It is suppose to be a shallow rice hat. His face is also suppose to be something Japanese. Oni, which means "demon" in japanese are popularized in japanese folklore Oni usually have horns and a very Toothy mouth or smile. Samurai often would wear masks of oni as a scare tactic. I wanted him to basically be a Japanese ice demon. His scythe was a natural choice. He's also supposed to have a hint of "death" in him, which is why one, he's somewhat skeletal looking, and he has the scythe.

Its very fitting that O-jin is of the ice elements, nothing is as cold and merciless as ice.

Wow, thank you. Yeah sure you can use the design. Credit me, and show me the end result is all I ask.

And if there's anything else you like that you see from me, its fair game to. My rules for copying designs or drawing my stuff is

  • Inform me you're gonna do it beforehand

  • Give me credit

  • Allow me to post it in my own gallery. This usually applies to drawn stuff mostly.

  • Be respectful to the original work and artist. No mototaurs with weiners or anything like that.


  • And that's about it.

    Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to sixhundrednsixtysix [2011-09-14 13:44:56 +0000 UTC]

    You mean his hat? Well its just a regular Piraka head with white bohrok eyes sticking straight out on the side for horns and the hat is held on by one of those round white rubber bands lego makes sandwiched between the hat piece and one of those round 2x2 flat plates that have the + in the middle. He's actually wearing the hat like an actual hat.

    I think you pulled of a Japanese style very well with this MOC as he even looks like he got ripped out of an anime show. Especially when Bionicle doesn't exactly utilize stuff like that for their sets. I only wish that the hat was more decorated like an actual hat. xD I'm considering making a drawing of him. o.o

    Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to KuroEtShiro [2011-04-08 10:01:13 +0000 UTC]

    Thank you. A decorated hat would be pretty cool. I'd need another white disk piece like that. I could order one off bricklink, but don't have the $$$ at the moment for it. What kind of decoration did you have in mind?
    I'd love to see you draw him ^_^ You should do it with the decorated hat like you think he should have.

    I don't think lego ever intended us to use a "rice hat" on anything other than minifigs. LOL The closest I have in mind is only getting a black Kopaka shield and putting it on top and then putting some sort of horse-hair deco on top to make it more "Asian", kinda like what Chinese people do with their spears. I haven't drawn anything in a long time since I'm not an artist at heart.

    well that's the beauty of lego, we fans find new and interesting ways to use the parts. Lego intends for us to use the parts how ever we can. I like keeping the flat smoothness to his hat. I've done that with the extra layre piece but I don't like it. I want that continuous smooth surface across his hole hat. When you said decoration I was thinking like drawing some design on the hat piece itself.

    I usually don't put stuff on my pieces in case you didn't know XD. My suggestion on designs would probably be a light blue flame-like pattern that's used with a brush script. I don't know many characters with a decorated hat LOL.

    Me neither, but I make exceptions. Sometimes painting a piece or two really brings out a theme or accentuates those pieces.

    Thanks. Yeah there's not too much gunmetal on him. I don't know if you can tell but on his thighs, that's dark gray not Gunmetal, though I wish it was. Gunmetal is my favorite metal color to use.

    Overall i think this one looks very solid, everything fits. Just a side note; I think it was Oni your thinking about, Tengu are a different class of demon, they were supposed to be birds of prey which is why they were depicted with long noses or sometimes beaks. [link] < O-jin is much cooler than this thing.

    As to where Oni are a more fear instilling, baby eating and generally terrifying(in japanese culture) demon. [link] <<

    Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to wolfbossx [2011-01-06 05:09:19 +0000 UTC]

    I know what your saying. Oni was a general word for demons. An oni could be anything demon or apparition like I guess. Some tengu have that toothy smile and horns, but I left off the long nose. My dad has a Tengu mask thingy that was given to him by my uncle who lived in japan as a kid. Its pretty old if my uncle is right. It could just be an oni, I dunno, but I do know what a tengu is.

    Yeah. A tengu is still a type of oni. Its splitting hairs I guess. But thanks dude.

    I looked it up, and i think Oni would fit O-jin better. I did alittle more research and found out that they did infact wear Tengu masks, but also most of them were fitted with mustaches! "the masks were worn to instill terror into their enemies hearts" Aparentley mustaches are terrifying. This is knowledge to me. I had the picturesque demon mask with fangs and whatnot in my head, so my bad.

    Ah I see. Well If I sold them then I wouldn't have them, and I think it'd be too costly to go on a site like bricklink and order the parts. I definitely couldn't do that with the big guys. Even the smaller things would cost a lot. it wouldn't be like buying a figure at the store, it'd be more like buying a sculpture from an artist. And that's how I'd market selling recreations. Not to mention I'd only do limited amounts.

    If someone wanted to invest that much into getting one of the MOCs I'd be able to recreate I'd do it I think. Its just the big guys who are off limits and mostly cause 1. the parts demand would be astronomically high, and 2 I'd have to damn near tear the originals all apart to figure out exactly how I did it and recreate it and I'm not willing to do that. Plus I like having the only Mototaur or ryakk in the world. I like that they're all one of a kind.
