#i will be exploring this in MGST of course

[lee-the-yeen]

Thinking a lot about skakdi and touch since I started working on MGST again.

Its such a fascinating idea, that skakdi can access elemental powers when "working in tandem" with each other, but that doesn't happen often because skakdi are such treacherous bastards.

Are the elemental powers a fact thats well known, but no one trusts each other enough to do it? Or is it almost completely unknown?

It leaves juuust enough open for interpretation and analysis, like a lot of Bionicle's concepts, which is my absolute favorite part of this franchise.

Since skakdi can't use the powers outright, its very likely they would have to touch or hold some part of each other for the latent powers to work.

They are very violent with each other from the offset, so a gentle, unthreatening touch would be heartachingly uncommon with them.

Adding on their toxic-masculine attitude, they likely don't talk about their feelings either. The amount of unresolved emotion simmering just beneath the surface of every single one of them must be staggering.
