Memel (Fractures Alternate Universe)

Memel was an Onu-Matoran.

Early Life
Like all other Onu-Matoran, Memel began his life on Spherus Magna, where he helped to construct the Matoran Universe and was placed in Metru-Nui, along with a number of other Onu-Matoran. Upon arriving in Metru-Nui, Memel attempted to run a small business as an Artist. However, he soon left the business as he did not have the necessary patience. Instead he developed a passion for Archaeology and gained employment in the Archives as a trainee.

Brotherhood Invasion
Due to the fact that Makuta Teridax never existed in the Fractures Universe, the Brotherhood did not form The Plan and, instead of waiting for events to fall into place around the Great Cataclysm, accelerated their invasion of the Matoran Universe. Mata Nui still was able to safely land on Spherus Magna. By this point, Memel was still living in Metru-Nui.

War
Memel managed to survive the brunt of the War by staying in Onu-Metru, which had been fortified to allow the Onu-Matoran to defend themselves against Rahkshi attacks. Memel also became close to Toa Vhisola and Toa Orkahm, seeing them as role models. On one occasion Memel was ordered to evacuate a section of the Archives while the two Toa faught a platoon of Rahkshi and Zyglak. Fearing the worst, Memel instead organized a rescue-party consisting of fifteen Matoran to save the Toa. He is currently on route to the Coliseum.

Trivia
Germany was forced to support the growing country by giving it the Port of Memel, an unfrozen port, as were the sanctions placed on it through the Treaty of Versailles. This town was renamed Klaipėda at some point in the twentieth century. The name Memel also continues User:Matoro1's tradition of using variations of names of European Towns as Character names. Another example of this would be the name Rotam - Derived from the Dutch town Rotterdam.
 * Memel was named after the the town called 'Memel', which was given to Lithuania as part of Germany's reparation cost for damage done in World War One. As Lithuania was formed through the the independance of a Polish State at this point,
