Ask Nuhrii

My name is Nuhrii, and I am a Ta-Matoran. These are things that I am incredibly familiar with: - Mask-making - Mask abilities - Ta-Koro Guard (I was a member) - Matoran Military (in general) - Ta-Metru - Metru Nui - Metruvian occupations

[ask-jaller]

I can’t remember whether or not it was a dream that I had to save a human band from the Piraka.

Please tell me that was a dream…

[makuta-takarrah]

“That sounds like a lucid dream to me,dear.”

[asknuhrii]

I have a mask for that!

[asknuhrii]

Protodermis is nano-machines, pass it on.

...MY LIFE IS A LIE!

[mind-of-makuta]

He will always be better than you…

Happy Naming Day, @asknuhrii.

[asknuhrii]

I came here to have a good time and I'm honestly feeling so attacked right now xD

[thatcoleslaw-deactivated2018041]

wait hold up

THERE’S A TUMBLR FANDOM FOR BIONICLE?!

[bioniscribbles]

Mhm. We are trash for Bionicle.

[mind-of-makuta]

Come… join my brothers and me…

[braingenius]

Honestly we’re all sluts for Makuta.

[mind-of-makuta]

As well you should be: Is there any other being more deserving of worship than I?

[ask-jaller]

Uhhh… I don’t know, maybe MATA-NUI.

[powerful-kanohi]

[mind-of-makuta]

[leftyllama]

Kapura cannot be destroyed fool

[asknuhrii]

Kapura is too powerful for mere mortals.

[punkclowwn-deactivated20200413]

i love how though the bionicle fandom on tumblr is smol, it’s a tightly knit community, like there’s quite a few names that everyone in the fandom know.

if big fandoms are like cities, the bionicle fandom is like a smaller town where the townsfolk easily memorize certain faces

[named-jiang-or-wang]

you mean like a koro vs a metru

[bioniscribbles]

That is a perfect analogy.

[asknuhrii]

*busts down door* DID SOMEONE SAY “METRU”?!?!

Thank you

[x-wir3d-fr33k]

dude how messed up would it be if vakama was actually dropped into that furnace

I mean, the aftermath would be like

…oh god

it’s not so much that it’s vakama, but more that it’s a kinda freakish way to kill a matoran

[spark-so-floss]

An AU where Vakama doesn’t make it out alive from that encounter.

That means only five Toa Metru 

And Toa Lhikan because if Vakama died before he ever activates his Toa stone Lhikan doesn’t lose all his toa energy.

0_0

What an interesting thought

[x-wir3d-fr33k]

The Matoran who was destined to succeed Lhikan as the next fire Toa dying. Oh god Lhikan would never forgive himself.

THIS AU HURTS BUT IT’S INTERESTING

#Vakama’s dead #Melted armor and charred flesh #that makes me wonder if the Toa Metru could even MAKE IT with out Vak’s visions #How would they figure out to look for the great disks? #so that they can kill the morbuzak #Would they even kill the morbuzak in this AU? #Would they even head to the coliseum? #or would they meat ‘Turaga Dume’ in a more private setting? #which fake dume would use to kill them off??? #ooh shit #God I kind of want to see To Lhikan leading the Toa Metru#and see the ungodly shit that they’ll go through #I wonder if the five Toa Metru would try to find Lhikan first? #DUDE THIS IS SO INTERESTING #Sparks rants about bionicle

I figured that if Lhikan remained a Toa, he would train them properly and they wouldn’t have to go about not really knowing what they’re doing. And since Lhikan was already suspicious of fake Dume, maybe they’d deal with him earlier when they still had time? As well as Nidhiki and Krekka now that there’s five other Toa. They could still do the protodermis cage on Makuta since Lhikan provides the fire element. And I guess that would mean Metru Nui wouldn’t have fallen either. So basically it’s a happy ending except Lhikan has Vakama’s death hanging over him, so it’s not all that happy really. And there’s no one for Matau and Onewa to call “fire-spitter” because there’s no way they’d say that to Lhikan.

WAIT THEN THAT MEANS THE MASK OF TIME DOESN’T EXIST IN THIS AU

But then again, it doesn’t seem to be very vital in an AU like this, so idk.

[spark-so-floss]

Before Lhikan can train the Toa metru they’d still need to find him though, right? Because Nidhiki and Krekka would have still captured him even with Vakama dead… or would they? No, he would still have been hand cuffed/ energy netted (depending if you prefer the book or movie interpretation of events) when Vakama gets dropped…

So yeah, the five Toa metru would need to find Lhikan.

That, that’s gonna be really difficult. They literally have no idea what happened to him after he gave them their Toa Stones. I can imagine Lhikan would have broken out - because lets face it, that prison was not designed to keep in a veteran Toa (unless he’d turned into a Turaga before he was thrown into a cell, which means that cell was meant for a turaga and newbie Toa not a seasoned Toa and holy fucking shit ) - but even with that the Toa Metru would have a needle in a hay stack problem on their hands. 

This is turning out to be a one big Holy Shit of an AU.

I feel like Makuta Dume would brand the Newbie Toa as Rogues earlier on. He had his pet Scary Big Bird (what was it called, a Newvhak?) keep tabs on them right? So he’d know that they have absolutely no idea what to do with them selves. I don’t know if he’d lure them to the colosseum or just make a Metru-Nui wide  announcement that the Toa Metru are Bad and kiddnapped Lhikan or something else but they would pretty much be on the run from the get go. With the Morbuzak still at large and Nidhiki and Krekka trying to nab them from the shadows… hahaha their life sucks.

If we stick to the scenario where Lhikan manages to break out he can then make some noise and turn the Matoran against Fake Dume but he’d have to plan his cards right if he doesn’t want to have a bloody cluster fuck on his hands. 

Maybe he’d keep quite and find the Toa Metru first? Idk, my mind is filled with ‘oh shit!’.

OH god, Vakama’s death would wreck Lhikan because Vak wasn’t just the next Fire Toa To Be, he was his friend. Or thats how I’ve been interpreting their interactions (and a good chunck of the fandom, I think).

If the Toa Metru and Lhikan manage to survive this chaos of an AU it would be really interesting to see how Vakama haunts them, mainly with Lhikan and him giving snippets to the others about who the Fire-Spitter was. While Lhikan is trying to reconsile with Vak’s death I think each of the Toa Metru will have different reactions to Vakama the Ghost and I don’t think everyone will have a positive reaction to it. They’re already under one big ass shadow that is Lhikan, they do not need two.

Holy shit thats right! No Vakama = no Vahi = Teridax’s plan aquires a big dent from the get go. The Makuta would be so pissed at Nidhiki — I wonder if he’d kill him? hmmmmmm. 

[x-wir3d-fr33k]

Oh my god with the direction that this AU is going, it looks like it actually has a legitimate storyline.

I feel like in an AU like this, even though Vakama is dead he still has a large presence in it because Lhikan would probably mention him a lot to the other Toa as another teammate who was supposed to be with them, but the rest of the Metru don’t really think much of it because they never got to know Vakama personally. Oh my god, I think that this event change the course of their destinies in some way because Vakama was the destined Toa of Fire. So when they opened the Suva, they picked out their tools and all that’s left is a disk launcher and they’re like “Who’s this for? And whose mask is on this Ta-Metru disk?”

#SPIRIT STAR!!! #the Toa metru can use the spirit star to track Lhikan down! #Ok so they have SOME sort of direction #there should be like a parallel moment #where Lhikan visits Vakama’s forge after everything gets fixed #I hope #he probably made sure that the forge was left alone #so he could eventually get the guts to go there #and when he does he’s looking through Vak’s stuff #kind of how Vakama did with Lhikan’s #and he’s trying to find closure #or trying to gather as much of Vakama as he can #basically going through the rickity pain that’s mourning #oh god I totally want him to collect Vakama’s things #and He’ll find the pile of broken Vahi masks and take a few #Oh no I made Lhikan into a very sad Fire toa #oh no Lhikan don’t cry #fuck my life I’m getting emotional #Sparks rants about bionicle #and sniffles

Ohhhhh no oh god now I’m thinking about Lhikan finding the toa stone that Vakama hid and just

OW MY HEART

[atoafriend-nuva]

HOOLY HSIT OKAY so I just got this massive plot idea from all this:

If we bring in the “Vakama is a Time Guardian” headcanon (he’s the protector of the Vahi and all that shit), then this particular time line is completely messed up b/c the Mask of Time was never created (which was something Vakama, as a Time Guardian, was destined to do).  So everything starts getting all whacked up because the power of time was suppossed to be henceforth contained within the mask; but with no mask, that power has nowhere to focus and starts going crazy.  Basically, the world would gradually fall apart until it reached complete temporal chaos.  The Toa Metru and Lhikan discover this and realize they have to “fix” their timeline somehow, but with no Mask of Time, how the heck are they going to fix this?

If we borrow from Einstein’s theories and bring in the concept of time and space being interwoven, then while time is falling apart, so is the substance of the universe – which means that the “boundaries” between this timeline and other dimensions whose boundaries are weakening start melding (think Thor 2).

Now, can you think of any other potentially canon Bionicle timelines in which the power of time is uncontained?  BAM – BRING IN THE AU IN WHICH VAKAMA SMASHED THE MASK OF TIME DURING HIS CONFRONTATION WITH MAKUTA.

So all this weird shit is happening and the Toa have no idea what to do and SUDDENLY VAKAMA LANDS IN THEIR TIMELINE AND WHAT THE HELL SO MUCH CONFUSESSESEEEION!!!  After the initial shock, they realize that, now they have a living Vakama with them, they can use the Mask of Time to go back and prevent their own Vakama’s death.  Problem: AU!Vakama smashed his Mask of Time.  So they have to go find the Great Disks so he can recreate it.

Queue lots of adventuring and questing with dimensional rifts and various setbacks and obstacles.  Insert lots of fun moments as the Toa Metru get to know Vakama.  And, of course, gratuitous feels as Lhikan and Vakama tell each other everything that happened in their timelines and both find closure.

The Mask of Time eventually gets completed, and the universe begin righting itself.  But because the Vahi can only allow the user to travel linearly in one timeline (the Olmak allows travel between different ones), AU!Vakama has to get himself back to his own timeline before all the rifts close up entirely.  After everyone says goodbye, AU!Vakama and Lhikan travel together into the past to prevent present-timeline!Vakama’s death.  AU!Vakama uses the mask to travel back to the future to find the time rifts as Lhikan succeeds in rescuing Matoran Vakama (as the canon goes).

Meanwhile, AU!Makuta followed Vakama through the time rifts to the present dimension (which has yet to be affected by Lhikan’s altering).  Realizing that this timeline, after it has been fixed, will become identical to the one he is from, Vakama smashes the Mask of Time again and the two timelines (now identical) merge, and Vakama and Makuta find themselves back in the moment right before Vakama is about to smash the Vahi.  Knowing that this time there is no “mistake” parallel world to escape to, Makuta agrees to Vakama’s terms and the canon timeline carries on.

[atoafriend-nuva]

Even though we’re way past Time Trap, I thought I’d bring back this insane AU idea started by @x-wir3d-fr33k and spark-so-floss.

[asknuhrii]

AU where I find the Toa Stone afterwards.

[bree-not-the-cheese-deactivated]

Ok but WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU HAVE A HAMMER THAT SHOOTS

HOW IS THAT A NECESSARY THING TO HAVE AS A MASK MAKER

[asknuhrii]

As a maskmaker, I can honestly say that that would have made my life 9000+x easier. Do you know how much that would speed up the process? Have you ever made a mask? Weeks. Weeks are lost without such a tool. I’ll have to get the tool makers down in production to look into such a thing...

[vrahno]

[asknuhrii]

For letting you take all the glory? You’re very welcome, Vakama.

[o-c3la-o]

Now, now, Nuhrii, despite all his posturing, let’s not forget who really saved Metru Nui…

[asknuhrii]

With the help of ask-tehutti, yandere-vhisola, and a couple other people, I did. B)

[vrahno]

[asknuhrii]

For letting you take all the glory? You’re very welcome, Vakama.

[mybioniclehighlights]

The most evil matoran in the bionicle universe, do not underestimate him! 

[asknuhrii]

Not sure if that’s me or Kapura. Both are accurate.

[asknuhrii]

Ayyyyyy lmao what's up mask maker?! Yeah I have a question: Is there a way to make new masks with new powers from scratch? As in make a completely new power.... say a mask of lightning?

Good question! Technically, yes. If protodermis is infused with elemental energy, a Kanoka of a certain element can be crafted. With this, one could forge a Kanohi of that element!

[kanohiavohkii-blog]

Like me!

[asknuhrii]

Ye lol Although, you might be a special case. The Great Beings might have forged you from pure light elemental energy when they invented it, not the elemental energy that comes from a Toa or Matoran. I doubt anyone’s inner light is pure enough to forge another like you.

[asknuhrii]

Why are you so smol

The Great Beings give either brilliance or brawn. I say I got the better deal.

[asknuhrii]

Ayyyyyy lmao what's up mask maker?! Yeah I have a question: Is there a way to make new masks with new powers from scratch? As in make a completely new power.... say a mask of lightning?

[smells-like-great-spirit]

What about a non elemental power?

[asknuhrii]

Here, we enter the stranger side of the Matoran universe, exploring the properties of protodermis. Protodermis is a strange, non-newtonian substance that can exist as all 4 states of matter, maybe more. The Matoran universe is full of it. Some say it was made by the Great Beings. Some say it’s always been here. But when it’s mined from the earth, it has some strange properties... Certain veins have medicinal uses. Some repel and attract other substances like a magnet. Some are exceptionally cold. Some pulsate with an otherworldly energy. And some just straight-up rearrange the dirt around them. After it has been mined, the substance is shipped to a purification center, where impurities are filtered out in a fairly complicated system. The state of matter it was found in decides how heavily it will be processed. From there, it’s shipped to the forges, where it will be melted down and poured into disk molds, which are shaped to allow the strange, aforementioned power to flow freely from it’s edges on contact. These are called Kanoka. After a Kanoka is made, it is measured by it’s power, intensity, and the Metru in which the protodermis was found and drilled. Now it’s ready for the Mask Makers. Lots of study goes into a Mask Maker’s education. The change from Kanoka technology to Kanohi technology isn’t simple. A mask doesn’t just give power to the user, it has to give it on command, as well as regulate the energy within the Matoran or Toa without disrupting its own. We don’t just pour the melted down Kanoka into a mold. There’s so much more. It’s bringing all of protodermis’ untapped potential to just below the surface, where a talented hero can dip into some of the greatest power in our Universe.
