Lewa - Tribe Chieftain

Built for the preliminary round of Bio-Cup 2021: "bionicle - remixed!".

 

What is called by the shamans as "the voice of the spirits" is only audible to those with a strong connection to nature, and to hear it one must live a life of training, knowledge, focus and meditation. Every twenty years, however, the wind whispers to a young member of the tribe of Lekōkō. An individual with a kind heart, a wise mind, and a free spirit. Those who receive this gift are tasked to be the tribe's protectors that lead them to a life of harmony with nature.

 

It truly is a difficult task. Responsibility builds hardship, and power corrupts innocence. It was not the case of the young Lewa, that felt nothing but excitement when he heard the wind for the first time. He had always wondered what kind of voice the wind could have, but much to his surprise he didn't hear a single spoken word. It was more of a feeling, deep down: he could sense the earth making its will clear to him. It's as if he could feel a gentle breeze underneath his skin, and a feeling of clarity in his mind. It was over in an instant, but Lewa knew his life had completely changed.
