The Question Box
I am interested in the idea of Toa having different "specialties" or just ways of using their elemental powers even if they are all the same element. Like Tahu kind of inherently being prone to a lot more actual flame and blazing fire, but Vakama tending to express a lot more pure heat without as much flame (possibly related to having been a welder). Tahu could set a whole forest alight by spitting, but Vakama would find it easier to pick something up and make it molten in his hand without ever setting anything alight. and Jaller has gotten very good at boiling, for obvious reasons, and summoning a lot of concentrated power very quickly. Nokama can make it rain so hard you can't see through it in about two seconds, Gali can always bring water seemingly from nowhere no matter what quantity she needs, and Hahli has strong control of waves, tides, and currents. Takanuva uses a lot of beams of light and light-based attacks, but if someone like Solek or Tanma became a Toa, maybe they would be very skilled at illusions and disguises. Just Toa of the same element having a lot of variety in their expression of their powers based on their personality, experiences, and what seems to come easiest to them, the same way they could all specialize in different weapons. And then they get together, see other Toa using their power, and go "you HAVE to teach me that"

Interesting to think about what each Vahki stun staff power implies about what the perceived social problems with each Metru were.
Bordakh (Ga-Metru)- Staffs of loyalty. Perhaps it was thought that Ga-Matoran, being typically quite sociable and forming very close friendships, might prioritize loyaty to their friends over the greater good of the city, and would not report a friend that they knew was engaged in suspicious or criminal behaviour.
Rorzakh (Onu-Metru)- Staffs of Presence. Perhaps Onu-Matoran were thought of as overly secretive, hiding away underground out of sight.
Nuurahk (Ta-Metru)- Staffs of Command. Ta-Matoran are known for their hotheadedness and tendency to be outspoken, these staffs were likely introduced to divert them away from whatever the were unproductively occupied with and back to whatever they were meant to be doing. Alternatively, they may have been developed with one very specific Ta-Metru resident, known for his "unscheduled vacations", in mind...
Zadahk (Po-Metru) Staffs of Suggestion. Like Ta-Matoran, Po-Matoran are famous for being stubborn, the Suggestion staffs being used to make them easier for their superiors to handle. (A key difference from the above is that the Nuurahk give commands to the Matoran directly, whereas Zadahk makes them obey other Matoran. Interesting...)
Vorzahk (Le-Metru) Staffs of Erasing. This one is really bizarre, since turning someone into a shambling but mostly harmless zombie does not seem conducive to maintaining peace, order and productivity, especially in an area already as chaotic as Le-Metru. One possible interpretation is that Le-Matoran were considered such troublemakers that it was thought that temporarily frying their higher brain functions when they put a foot out of line would result in less disruptions than allowing them to do whatever it was they were thinking of doing. The other possibility is that it was largely a deterrent, not intended to be used often, but the threat of such a punishment being enough to maintain order. If it's the latter, the fact that "shamblers" were supposedly a common sight in Le-Metru means that this plan failed spectacularly. Either the Vahki were overusing the staffs for minor transgressions, or a number of Le-Matoran were utterly unfazed by the threat of getting their heads scrambled. Maybe some of them even did it recreationally.
Keerakh (Ko-Metru) Staffs of Confusion. It is noted that the effect is considered more merciful than the Erasing staff by the Ko-Matoran. That's interesting in light of the fact that the idea for the Kralhi, their predecessor, reportedly came from Ko-Metru. So the idea of law enforcement robots in general was put forward by Ko-Matoran, and they may have had some input into the design of the Vahki and the choice of Stun staffs for each Metru. The choice of Presence power in Onu-metru is particularly telling, since if anyone thought the Onu-Matoran should be spied on, it would be the Ko-Matoran. Kind of understandable given the tendency for new mining tunnels to "accidentally" destabilize Knowledge towers. Interestingly, you would think Ko-Matoran would be among the most orderly groups and therefore least likely to get in trouble with the law, but dazed, confused Ko-Matoran wandering around after being zapped by Vahki suggests they have the exact same problem as Le-Metru. Either the Vahki are over-applying their power instead of taking more reasonable actions to get Matoran back to work... or Ko-Metru just has a LOT of stun-junkies...
Okay but now all I can imagine are secret “speakeasys” hidden through Metru Nui where stun-junkies go to get their fix. They’re probably set up like stores or perhaps energy charging stations, but can quickly flip out partially-dismantled Vahki of each type to give out a Matoran’s preferred fix.
The “barkeep” can probably control the strength of the staff discharge. Long-term stun junkies, or frequent offenders like Takua, probably have resistance built up to a normal setting. Low settings are used when Matoran only have a bit of time before their next shift and can’t afford to be out of commission for more than a few hours.
Braver stun-junkies like to mix and match staff powers. Rumor has it if you hit yourself with all six you can understand Vahki speech and see colors in new spectrums.
#that last rumor was started by Takua
#no one else has seen new colours
#he's probably just making things up
@ghost-mantis these deserve to be in the main post

Couple of Turaga - 1
I don't think I've drawn the Turaga in a long while, but I've def been thinking more of how I want to try and handle their designs.
As well as you might've noticed a big change to Onewa I've made - I've made Onewa female. It's prob something not everyone will agree with, but that's fine with me. Might also mention too that I want to make Nuju female. I just think a bit of gender equilibrium could be nice :') But still, I do hope you enjoy these designs, I think I did a nice job~
"Couple of Turaga - 2"
Real shit blue girl.
The trip from Mata Nui to Metru Nui was delayed by two weeks when Vhisola heard that Nokama was a werewolf for a bit and promptly vibrated through the floor, necessitating an Onu-Matoran dig team go down to recover her from the impenetrable Protodermis layer.
In a statement to Hahli the Chronicler, the rescued Vhisola only said "I MISSED IT!?"
