My self-moc Galvis has went through a change, he is now a she. Instead of a male Ga-Matoran, I now have a female Ga-Matoran. Hence the name being changed to Galvina (name courtesy of <a href=[link]>Leaith.
Galvina grew up on the northern shores of Ga-Metru in a tiny village by the sea, her mother was the village healer and her father was a merchant who visited other Metru's often on business. Galvina never saw her father much, and took a liking to her mother's way of living. At a very young age, she started helping in the hut where her mother performed healing rituals. Galvina was taught many spells and incantations to help her mother (who at this point in her life had grown very tired and old) take care of the local population. As her mother got older, Galvina had to do more and more of the work around the hut. She eventually took over the entire healer's hut when her mother became ill. A few days after her mother became ill, her father had returned home from a trip to Le-Metru. He brought back with him a Le-Metru Healing Staff, said to have been used by their greatest healer. It had a blue stone in the end of it, it was thought to be a healing stone. Galvina received this gift and soon learn how to use it to it's full potential. Her mother was very close to dying, and Galvina was the only one that could possibly save her - with the help of the Great Spirit. Galvina made an offering to the Great Spirit Mata Nui and said some spells, and the stone on the end of the staff started to glow. There was a blinding flash of light,and something wondrous had happened. Galvina went from a matoran healer to one of the most sought-after titles in all of Metru-Nui - the title of toa. As she stood in amazement at her transformation, her mother got up off of her bed and thanked her daughter for saving her life. Galvina realized that it wasn't the staff that had given her the power to heal her mother, but it was the Great Spirit's will to help her. Galvina saw this (and her transformation into a young toa), to be a sign. She packed some of her things shortly thereafter and left to go to the center of all the Metru's and be with the Toa Metru. This was short-lived though, as Nokama had said that the toa team was already complete, but that Turaga Dume was in an unstable health condition, for he had contracted a disease known as "The Virtues." She took her healing staff, and eventually cured Dume, earning her the title of "Healer of the Virtues." Galvina went back to her village by the sea and resumed her previous job as a healer, but only this time, she was famous. She always carried her healing staff - not just as a tool of good health, but as a weapon of self-defense By the time of Makuta Teridax's take-over of Metru-Nui, her village had been destroyed and lay in ruins. After the Visorak hoard overran Metru-Nui, she had been thought to have disappeared during the madness. Her whereabouts are currently unknown.
-Turaga Vakama-
There, my story is in the typical Metru-Nui style. The toa disappears and is never to be seen again.....
No, I don't. The torso is held onto a Mata foot with some robot hands/clips (I ended up just wedging it into the Nuva shoulders and it stays). It's a torso design that LolPretzels (Gringat) has used before, I used modded pieces (cut tubing) to make some of it work. I'll post a breakdown if needed.
Now I have to update my version, and re-write some script...
And find another V.A.
