Kualus probably stopped wearing his scarf as a Rahaga after he tried to use his back mounted Rhotuka for the first time and nearly throttled himself.

Iruini never let him hear the end of it.

the flesh putrefies, the machine rusts, and the divine corrupts, and so the rot remains supreme

Chronicler's Company but they're Toa!

These designs are meant to be, like, a "what if", where they became Toa some time after the Bohrok invasion but before the Rebuilding. Also I decided to take this seriously and not make Hafu and Taipu identical, though I did give them designs that could arguable work for either (and swapped their Toa forms' masks for fun).

(A live-updating list of stuff I use can be found here, feel free to suggest anything not on that list via my askbox.)

Rahaga Onewa, Rahaga Whenua, and I spent many years digging out the cave and carving out each alcove for the Kanohi we were able to recover from the Bohrok nests.

Lhikan's was the first memorial alcove we had planned, but the last one we made. The other Matoran had regained a lot of their abilities by then, so everyone who knew how to dig or carve got to contribute a little to his statue. It felt like the end of a chapter when we held a gathering to set his mask on the statue in the Great Mausoleum.

He was the guiding light for these Matoran in this life, and still guides them, in a way, through the Rahaga. He would certainly still guide and protect us in the next life, if such a thing exists.

Takua asked me if his statue depicted the Great Spirit Mata'Nui.

Perhaps he isn't too far off. Perhaps Lhikan was the closest we got to meeting the Great Spirit himself.

Vakama always seems proud when he tells the story of Toa Lhikan, that somehow, through his words, you can feel the warmth and sense of security Lhikan gave to us. And afterwards, the other Matoran always seem to share his pride and admiration of Lhikan, even though they don't remember him.

It was disheartening, to say the least, when I saw Takua's face fall as I told him who Lhikan was, and why his mask is hung here in the Mausoleum.

Maybe it's just how I recount the story.

...Maybe it's just me.

We are so lucky to have so many photos of Bionicle set prototypes and cut or preliminary storyline concepts. It's a veritable treasure trove of ideas. So many things where the creators said "We almost did this, and never got around to doing this other thing." And now we can do those things. AND still have access to all the amazing work they did put out for us, on top of all our own wacky ideas. I really like it here
