About this creation
BIO:
Name: @
Gender:Male
Race:Toa
Element:Internet
Mask:Kanohi Hau
Powers:Unknown
Weapons:Twin daggers, infected sword
Titles: The Toa of internet
Alignment: N/A
Occupation: N/A
Status: N/A
Story#1: @ was a regular Toa of ice that had a wish. He wanted to know everything, so he discovered internet. soon after, he was attracted by the other things the internet had to offer, like games. eventually, he forgot the reason he discovered internet in the first place, and he installed network cables on his back so that he will be online the whole time. the other Toas nicknamed him the Toa of internet due to his obsession. Eventually, he atracted a computer virus. Since he was directly connected to the internet, and had no firewalls or antivirus programs, the virus deleted his memory and his personality. He became just an empty shell harboring the computer virus. but the virus gained consciousness and mistaken that he was a Toa. The virus thought that somebody else deleted his memory, and he took a new name, @, which is the symbol of internet.

@: Argh, my head!

I present to you the real face of @, the Virus:
Name: None
Species: Computer virus
Race: Polymorphic virus
Powers: Shape-shifting
Weapons: Itself
Bio: Once the Virus took over @'s mind it got a body and evolved. It became a living being, but it was dependent of @'s body in order to survive. The Virus deleted @'s memories, but their minds fused. Thinking that somebody else did this, the Virus continued living as a Toa.

I know that the story seems a bit unrelated with the build, but I will try to explain it now.This might also be my first MOC with a deeper meaning than it seems. I wanted the Toa part of the MOC to look like an ordinary Toa with a red and white color scheme, while the back side was full of spikes and had a color scheme similar to the virus. The Toa is completely custom, aside from the hands and feet, while the tentacle things of the virus were made mostly out of HF bones to create contrast with the Toa side of the character. The first idea was to recreate the two sides of the internet, one that was clean and pure which was represented by white, and the other that was corrupted and evil which was represented by the black. The red parts were meant to be the fusion of the two, like a balance. You can find the first two WIP versions of this guy on my Flickr profile :)
As always, there is a hidden link somewhere in this MOC, try to find it :)
Sorry about some dark and blurry pics, I need to find a better place to take pictures.
Hope I do good in the B.C.B.S. this time, good luck to everyone else competing :)
C&C appreciated :)

Nice. But if I where to make a Toa of Internet I would make it almost like a recreation of a Tron suit. But still pretty cool
Thanks, but I think that the "tron suit" type build wouldn't be that original :) |

Cool, but the virus form is a bit cluttered (intentionally, I presume)... anyway, good luck!
Yup, I wanted to make the infected part look messy and unorganized. Good luck to you too :) |

Like I already said, nice work on him! I always liked your idea of making a two-sided creation! The internet is definitely a great choice to do so! The Toa looks great, and the daggers on the back are a nice technique. It looks very cool when the virus replaces his head :)! Good luck in the contest!
Thanks, good luck to you too :) |
