Description Rashim is an interesting one to say the least. Old as the dirt beneath your feet and as fierce as the sun over the desert. Should you ever meet him in battle, you should give up lest you become the next warrior to fall to his might. He has never really accepted any one place as a home, nor has any one place accepted him. The longest he'll stay in any place is maybe a few months. He'll come in on a breath of the wind and leave in much the same fashion. He has nothing and wants nothing, seeming only to care to really do anything when someone is in trouble. Many years ago he lost his right hand in a battle. In a quick fix, a medic strapped a shotgun to his arm. When the time came to be able to replace his lost hand, Rashim denied the opportunity, opting instead for a bayonet and a more powerful gun. These have served him well, making him one of the strongest fighters this world has ever seen. He has a nasty habit of thrusting his bayonet into an opponent and firing the shotgun at close range, instantly leaving little more than dead weight at the end of his blade. Only a short while ago, he got injured while helping out a couple of matoran working construction. His good arm was crushed, as well as his thighs. Being mostly mechanical in origin, it was no bother to replace these. When asked if he wanted another weapon arm, he opted out of that, instead wanting to still be able to wield his precious halberd. Now back to his life as a wanderer, Rashim is rarely seen, and if he is, rarely is bothered. He does still enjoy the occasional cup of tea though.




WELP. Not my best work, by a long shot. I am however, for the most part in a MOC block and this is really the best I could come up with. This was made for 's contest which can be read about here: [link]
So yeah, really crappy entry, but I really have like no time anymore and I now have to work on my SMoT entry.... Oh time, why have thee abandoned me? Oh well.
And yes, the photography sucks. Bad day to shoot. Everybody has them.

May I ask why and how you consider this a mediocre MOC? All I see is a masterpiece in Bionicle Creation.

Umm, because it is? XD This MOC here is nothing near my best, nor am I honestly very happy with how it came out. I know I can do better if I wasn't so gosh darn blocked

Thank you though. I appreciate the flattery

I checked out some of your other MOCs, and I suppose this could be considered sub-par compared to them. When I first looked at Rashim, though, I compared him to my own creations. He's more or less an equivalent to my best of creations.

All a matter of perspective I suppose.

Another inverted Rahkshi head... *sigh* At least the MOC itself is pretty epic! The right arm have a very nice design, but it still doesn't convince me... However, the torso is wonderful, I love the use of the Metru shoulder and the Kualsi; and the weapon (and its way of attachment) are very original! Good luck in the contest, dear.

Great story, by the way. A bit typical and, if you study it properly, it's more like an explanation than a backstory, but your ways of writing it made the paragraph proper of a legend. <3

Yeah, I know. And unfortunately for y'all who don't like them, I think I'll be doing more of them Thank you though

And yeah, the story wasn't my norm. I wrote it up in like two minutes without any idea what I'd really do for him. I wish I could've come up with something better, but oh well.

By the way, I extended the deadline on the SMoT for Potu, who's on a mandatory leave from his parts...

Sweet moc! Great use of dark green, I know it's really hard to work with, even for me, who has a lot! Plus you have to get double kudos for the multiple uses of those stupid metru shoulders!

Awesome, I'm glad of that, I'll be needing the time as well.

And thank you I have very little Metru green; this is most of my collection, so I had to use each part any way I could XD

The colour co-ordination works very well here! I particularly like the bayonet.

When you mentioned the cup of tea, I imagined him accidentally reaching for it with the wrong arm. Shattered cups and spilt tea ensued.

Thanks Aiden, this is a color I've never really used, so this one was fun.

And yes, I imagined the same thing XD

A cup of tea, Nice little touch. As far as I can tell, his torso is nicely compact and filled, much like the rest of his body. The Blade arm is cool(blade arms are always cool), and so is the halberd. Best luck in yet another contest!

Hahaha, hey, we could all use a cup of tea sometimes, aye? That torso was a bugger at first to get right, but I think it came out well enough. The bad photos really don't do it justice though. The halberd was my favorite part of this, I really like the design. Thanks Terilis
