Ülec (Shasa Universe)

"Look at what you have done, Ülec! All these dead innocents... It's all your fault!"

- Long-time Toa companion Wu-Lega upon seeing the massacres perpetrated by Ülec

Ülec was a Toa of Lightning who first served as guardian of the island of Aho Nui, then ruled it as its Duke and eventually organized the evacuation of his island's population to Spherus Magna.

Matoran
Ülec was created, as most of the Matoran in the Matoran Universe, by the Great Beings as housekeeper of the Great Spirit Robot. He originated from the island of Aho Nui, where he was the sole Vo-Matoran on the whole island. Added to his weird mask, from which not even the Druids knew what its exact purpose was, this fact was enough to make him a complete outcast. At the Kata-Motaka shipyards, where he worked for a long time as a subordinate shipwright, he was constantly harassed by his workmates and forced to do the menial work nobody wanted to get his hands dirty with. Ülec was too shy and reserved to defend himself, which led to more and more dangerous and nasty pranks every day. The day of the Invasion of Aho Nui, Ülec had to dive in a flooded tool shed to retrieve lost equipment. The door leading to it was to be opened for Ülec to go out, but as an ultimate prank, the Matoran responsible for the door closed it, leaving Ülec in the flooded shed. In the minutes of the invasion army's landing on the island, a Tahtorak from the nearby zoo broke free, creating an artificial earthquake which caused Energized Protodermis to leak on Aho Nui's surface. The shed Ülec dwelled in was inundated by Protodermis too, transforming Ülec to a Toa.

Toa and guerrilla warfare
Following his transformation, Ülec was now armed with a Sword focusing his Elemental Power. As the Kän-Xi invasion forces were overrunning the island and setting up their regime, he journeyed aimlessly across Aho Nui for a few days until he found two Matoran warriors, Zeki and "Harsh", who had the Duty to kill as many Kän-Xi they could get their hands on. Unwillingly, the two accepted the Toa in their two-man guerilla unit and discretely made their way from one enemy base to another, striking hard from cover and then disappearing again into the artic plains and mountains of Aho Nui, Ülec's natural clumsiness nearly causing their deaths several times. After finally arriving to the Maunga mountain, in whose caves most of the island's population had hidden, Ülec was, together with two other Toa, Wu-Lega and Towe, transformed to a super-energized Toa ("Duke") during a mysterious magical ritual led by the Druids themselves.

Abilities and Traits
As a Matoran, Ülec was clumsy and very reserved. This way, he did not have any friends among the Matoran population of Aho Nui, who already disliked him because of his unusual Element and rare Kanohi. He trained off his negative traits being a Toa, and being a super-energized Toa, he had become bolder and even made a few very close friends. Ülec is, due to his Element, very nervous and moody, which makes he may be a laugh the one day and extremely irritated the next. The nervousness even increased after his two transformations. Because of this, Ülec would take any kind of tranquillizer if told it will calm him down. Being a super-energized Toa, the electric power inside Ülec would be so great it would sometimes need to discharge at once, electrocuting everything in a five-feet radius. Ülec is also extremely jealous and emotional, taking every small joke played on him seriously.

Mask and Tools
Ülec wears the uncommonly scarce Great Mask of Sensory Enhancement, which increases the five senses (Sight, Hearing, Taste, Smell, Touch) and also disables the cerebral filtering of informations coming from eyes, ears, tongue, nose and skin. This makes the wearer's brain analyse every information, both those who are normally judged "important" or "unimportant" by the brain, and thus, filtered. To make up for the much greater cerebral burden, the mask also mulitiplies the wearer's concentration abilities.

As a Matoran, Ülec disposed of nothing but a small knife. As Toa, he had a Lightning Dagger, and following his super-energizing, a Lightning Sword and Rifle.
