Teridax (MakutaXadiret727)

Toa Teridax is a version of Teridax who hails from an alternate dimension simply codenamed the 'Kaizer Universe' by the Guardians of Light. The version of Teridax from this universe was captured and put into an artificial Toa body, what little sanity this Teridax had left formed a unique personality, who became the Toa's secret weapon to winning an eternal war with an enemy who would later be discovered to be this universe's version of Takanuva. The original mind of Teridax became sealed within the subconsciousness of this new Toa, who took on the name of Teridax and vowed to make it a name that would be celebrated by the Matoran, rather than hated and feared by them. At some point, the 'great split occured in the Kaizer Universe and Toa Teridax was transported to this universe.

The creation of a hero
The original Teridax of the Kaizer Universe was once the leader of the Brotherhood of Makuta, until he eventually lost his mind and murdered every member of the Brotherhood.



Following this, he went on a  rampage through Metru Nui and nearly killed the Toa Nuva. After a lengthy battle, he was captured and  his mind was implanted in an artificially created Toa body, which was designed to extract what little sanity the Makuta had left and form an entirely new personality, thus, Toa Teridax was born and Makuta Teridax was locked away in his subconsciousness, waiting to take over.

The Great Split
Toa Teridax was intended to be used as the Toa Nuva's secret weapon against an enemy they had been fighting for centuries, who is later learned to be 'Kaizer Takanuva', who had become corrupted and created an army of light-Rahkshi to destroy the Universe. A space-time rift mysteriously opened and Toa Teridax, along with Mattrox were pulled through, they ended up in this version of the Matoran Universe. Confused and disorientated, they wandered through the streets, Matoran ran away from them, terrified to see a Zyglak and a Toa wearing the Kraahkan walking around, the Toa Novan were alerted to their prescence and entered into a short battle with Teridax and Mattrox.



Mattrox managed to reason with the Toa and convinced them that they weren't here to destroy them. Teridax was accepted as a member of the Toa Novan and Mattrox eventually became second-in-command of the GoL.

Abilities and Traits
Toa Teridax had a carefree personality and was always cool and calm in any situation, despite having an insane Makuta living within his subconsciousness. He could tap into this Makuta's powers whenever he desired, the act of doing so changed the shape of his Kraahkan to resmble the face of Teridax, tapping into Makuta's powers was dangerous, for doing so would allow Teridax's inner Makuta to start to take over his mind unless he changed back to his normal self, he could only maintain the powers of Makuta for a limited time before the inner Makuta would start to eat away at his sanity.

Powers and Equipment
As a former Makuta, Teridax had power over shadow, these abilities were much more powerful when tapping into his inner Makuta's strength. He wore a Kraahkan, this gave him the ability to generate fear and anger within an individual, he could use this power to gain a psychological advantage over his opponant. It also gave him the ability to see the evil within others. He could enter his own subconsciousness to confront or speak to his inner Makuta, depending on the mood, the inner Makuta might give Teridax access to another one of his abilities or may turn him away and the two will enter a mental battle with eachother. Teridax later gained the ability to tap into the power of light, transforming himself into the 'light Makuta', he gained this power after his inner Makuta revealed that he had been 'cursed' with the power of light but kept them secret from Toa Teridax as it 'shamed him as a Makuta', Teridax convinced him to allow him access to these powers to combat Xadiret.
