#yesterday quest

An outcast, conflicted because of his past violations of the Toa code yet incredibly driven, Zaria has been assigned to search for the Great Beings alongside Chiara, Gelu, and Orde. With his sword, shoulder-attached missiles, and Mask of Adaptation, this Toa of Iron is ready to take on any challenge that comes his way.

So I finally got around to completing Toa Zaria from that infamous serial The Yesterday Quest for #metrumarch . I’m satisfied with how it turned out overall. A militarized Toa super-solider is what I imagined Zaria to be. I plan to shoot a stop-motion video with this figure in the near future; perhaps I could even learn how to fire the missiles in after effects.

Aside from that, the Mask of Adaptation was made by my pal KhingK. I couldn’t have done this without his help and I highly suggest checking out his shop for masks. Here are some links to his work: Instagram, Thingiverse, Shapeways

So I got around to building Orde for #metrumarch . I also decided to see how Orde would look fighting against one of the Zyglak combiners so I took a couple of shots aside from the ones I took of the former alone. I prefer the first picture in comparison to the second and wider one but I figured that it wouldn’t hurt to post both. Credit goes to @bobthedoctor27 for painting the mask and KhingK for creating the mask, which happens to be the inorganic Sanok. Links to their stuff are down below.

Gently rests head on desk. Here's what the Yesterday Questers' Deals™ are in every Superhero AU timeline.

Main - Chiara is basically electric morally-grey not-rich not-orphaned Batman. Zaria is avenging his students, who were killed by Teridax's underlings. Orde is helping Helryx do Order Of Mata Nui stuff while pretending to be her rich country-club husband (to get around the fact that Helryx's not-particularly-rich alien scientist wife is being kept secret from most people to avoid attracting the attention of the Skrall Empire, who were chasing the Spherans through space. Plus it makes more sense for a German and an American to be travelling around the world together if they're a rich middle-aged married couple who like going sightseeing; the facade quickly drops when they meet a fellow Order member or associate, and Helene and Orson Desmond suddenly become Helene Richter and Orson Desmond). Gelu is basically Han Solo mixed with Star Lord.

G2 - Chiara, Zaria and Gelu are getting into fun Shonen Anime shenanigans. Orde died of old age.

City of Silver - Chiara is like 13. Zaria is a motorcycle mechanic. Orde is a detective. Gelu is a cryptid. And They Fight Crime™.

Melding - Chiara is a murderous rich-kid who electro-tortures her own staff for even the most minor of mistakes. Zaria commands an army of teenage supervillains. Orde is an evil living supercomputer. Gelu is a space-cop.

Tuyet's Empire - Chiara is dead. Zaria is evil. Orde is in a state of constant agony so that his psychic energy can power Metru City. Gelu is basically just doing what he does in the main timeline.

"Voya City Stories" games - Chiara is doing her main-timeline stuff but slightly grittier than it already is, and as a stealth-action game. Zaria is the same but as a beat-'em-up. Orde does mission control stuff. Gelu is referenced a few times, and has a cameo in the Federation of Fear game, but you never get to play as him.
