Tsiraklias

Tsiraklias is a Toa of Stone and a member of the village Fusion. He is often called a Toa of Sonics, though this is not true.

Early Life
Nothing is known of Tsiraklias' past other than the fact that his life was generally uneventful, causing him to have few qualms with being stuck on Straitus Nui

The Days of Straitus Nui
When the Toa Tripas crash-landed on Straitus Nui, Tsiraklias and his friend Erano befriended Stelvak, creating a close bond between the three. Not long after their arrival, several inhabitants of Fusion casually camped out with the Toa Tripax on Straitus Nui's shore in an attempt to assimilate them into the island's culture. This was done next to the hull of the Toa Tripax's wrecked ship, the Takea Fang.  The large object gave their position away, and there was a skirmish when two of Skrage's team members, Mavakroz and Zakadich, appeared on the scene. Tsiraklias was present during all of this, but was not actually able to engage in the skirmish, due to it's underwater setting.

Characteristics
Tsiraklias is a true and faithful friend, known for being a diligent worker to whatever tasks he is assigned. However, these good traits are often diluded by his frequent grumpy attitudes, which can be attributed to his poor sleep schedule.

Equipment and Abilities
Toa Tsiraklias carries only one weapon, but it contains more than enough power within it's small package. The Repercussion Gauntlet is a powerful sonic weapon given to Tsiraklias by Ardaxalen, and it has served its purpose well. The front fires sonic blasts of varying intensity, depending on the user's control of it. It also doubles as an effective bludgeoning weapon, with easily enough strength to pummel the living daylights out of enemies. The inside of the gauntlet is hollow, as it needs to house sonic energy, so the weapon itself is very light, yet very durable.

Given that Tsiraklias is a Toa of Stone, it is obvious that he has a great deal of control over his element of stone. However, Tsiraklias is often nicknamed "an unofficial Toa of Sonics", given several traits that he shares with his namesake. His sonic weapon and sensitive hearing are both factors of this. His mask is no different. Tsiraklias dons the Kanohi Orexa, the Great Mask of Diffraction. This allows him to dispel or concentrate waves of any kind. Though he can do so with waves of water, the most common application of the masks power is through sound waves.

Trivia

 * Tsiraklias is the self-MOC that I created for one of my real-life friends.
 * I originally got the foot pieces from a friend, but his dog had gotten to them first.  Set-wise, Tsiraklias' left heel is deformed from the dog's teeth.  Ironically enough, this is the very dog that inspired the Hopper.
 * Tsiraklias' other profiles can be found at deviantArt and YouTube.
