Varlokka

Varlokka was a Toa of Psionics. A member of the Toa Jonku until the team's untimely end, she traveled the universe for thousands of years before settling in Yrenta to become its first Toa guardian and eventually its first Turaga.

Matoran
Varlokka was created as a Ce-Matoran early in the history of the Matoran Universe. She was part of a community of fellow Matoran of Psionics that settled on one of the Southern Islands, near the edge of the universe's civilized region.

At one point, Varlokka's people were threatened by Rahi, and they enlisted the aid of a traveling Toa of Iron named Risda to deal with the creatures. Varlokka ended up fighting alongside the Toa. Risda realized she was destined to be a Toa, and brought her to a Suva, where he transferred a portion of his Toa power into her to trigger her transformation.

Toa Jonku
Now a Toa, Varlokka taken by Risda as an apprentice and companion, and the two of them traveled the universe together for a few years before meeting a Toa of Sonics named Fonosk. The three Toa decided to form a team, and named themselves Toa Jonku, after a term used in Varlokka's homeland to mean 'nomad'.

The Toa Jonku traveled the universe for many years, never staying in one location for long, as their name indicated. The team came to an end during the reign of the Barraki, when they were defeated by a large band of rogue deserters from Carapar's army. The deserters had become brigands and threatened a nearby Matoran village.

At Risda's insistence, Fonosk and Varlokka fled while he held off the bandits near the village. Fonosk rushed to evacuate the village, and Varlokka was intercepted by brigands and separated from him. Varlokka managed to escape and follow the Toa of Sonics, but she was too late. By the time she made it to the village, it burned and the inhabitants had been slaughtered, along with Fonosk, who had made a valiant last stand against the outlaws.

Varlokka left the razed village to search for Risda, but failed to find him. She returned briefly to bury Fonosk and the slain Matoran, then began to travel on her own. Ashamed of her failure to save her companions and the villagers, she never returned to her homeland, for Risda was still remembered there, and she could not bear to inform her people of his disappearance and her failure to find him.

Toa of Yrenta
Varlokka traveled alone for several more millennia, doing what good she could and looking for her old mentor. She gradually became weary of traveling, and was finally considering settling in a particular region when she was recruited by the Brotherhood of Makuta for their preemptive strike against the rebellious Barraki.

She did not attend the entire battle on the island on which the League of Six Kingdoms's armies were gathering, and was soon dispatched alongside a Toa of Fire and a Toa of Earth to disband the Barraki military in a small region on the Northern Continent called Yrenta.

Personality and Traits
Varlokka's armor was gold and blue, as was typical for her element, and she had pale blue eyes.

Powers and Abilities
As a Ce-Matoran, Varlokka possessed a very minuscule amount of elemental Psionics energy, causing her to be strongly resistant to outside mental influence. This power was increased when she became a Toa, granting her the ability to control psychic energy. This power could be manifested in a variety of ways, including telekinesis, telepathy, mind control, mental blasts, and sensory illusions.

Mask and Tools
As a Matoran, Varlokka wore a powerless Kanohi Miru in the shape of a Great Miru, and wielded a sword in combat. She later discarded the sword, and upon her becoming a Toa her mask became a Great Kanohi Miru, which gave her the ability to levitate and slow her fall. She also acquired an ornate staff with a large blue and gold head.

When she was defeated by the mysterious Rahi, her mask was broken. She briefly had it replaced with an unknown powerless mask in the shape of a Great Mask, which took on the form of a Noble Mask when she became a Turaga, though it remained powerless. Her staff also shrunk along with her.

Trivia
Though the model of Turaga Varlokka depicts her with a Noble Huna, the type of mask was never specified in the story.
