Saidon

History
As a Matoran, Saidon traveled with several other Matoran to Erkelon during the First Voyage, and settled in Onu-Erkelon. At an unknown point, he was transformed into a Toa.

Personality
Although he has a fearsome appearance, Saidon is a friendly and high-spirited Toa. He is enthusiastic and competitive in nearly everything he does, making him one of the Toa Vihagu's top fighters. However, like Drainu, his positive and high-spirited nature sometimes expresses itself at the expense of others.

Powers
As the Toa of Earth, Saidon can control the element of earth. However, he also has partial control over Gravity, with the aid of his Gravity Gauntlet. In addition, Saidon is a master swordsman, and wields a golden "dueling sword" christened Ghirael. Saidon uses his standard swordsmanship for basic combat, and his Gravity Gauntlet as his primary elemental weapon.

Example Powers

 * Vacuum Grab: Saidon generates a tiny gravitational field around his gravity gauntlet, focused in front of him or towards him. If the vacuum is targeted in front of him, it will pull in nearby objects and other fighters, allowing him to pull an ally out of danger or draw in a foe for an attack. If the vacuum is targeted at him, it will pull him in towards it, but since the vacuum will literally be at arm's length, it serves as a source of propulsion.
 * Executor: A follow-up to Vacuum Grab. If Saidon manages to pull in an enemy into his physical grasp, he can then launch an explosive blast into the enemy, launching them away. Ideally, Saidon will manage to grab them by the neck and pull them up, so that he can launch them into the sky.
 * Gravitational Gun: Saidon launches small spheres of gravitational energy, which he can detonate at will. When detonated, the sphere sends out a repulsive force, knocking away anyone nearby.
 * Airborne Slice: The Airborne Slice was originally a rarely used fencing stroke, where a swordsman would lunge forward and bring his sword directly upwards. Saidon combines this attack with his self-directed Vacuum Grab, allowing him to launch himself into the air blade first.
 * Painted Stroke: Saidon charges Ghirael with earth energy. When he attacks with his sword, the tip releases earth energy particles that float for a second before dropping to the ground, and that can be used as a temporary shield against some ranged attacks.
 * Polar Shield: A combination of Saidon's gravity and earth abilities. Saidon summons a cloud of earth energy, and then activates his Gravity Gauntlet, causing the earth energy to center around the gauntlet. This creates an energy shield that he can direct in any direction as long has he keeps his gauntlet activated.

Relationships

 * Drainu - friend
 * Jetera - friend, rival
 * Mokatu - friend

Trivia

 * Like all members of the Toa Vihagu, Saidon is based on a person Stormjay Rider knows in real life.
 * As part of an on-running joke between Stormjay Rider and this MOC's inspiration, Saidon takes heavy inspiration from Ganondorf.
 * Saidon's Gravity Gauntlet, in particular, takes reference from Ganondorf's Flame Choke.
