Kiyara

Kiyara was (Or still is IDK) a major villain of The Next Chapter, who was the species of Brutaka.

​Backround
Kiyara was originally a tyrant hailing from the Southern Islands (Or maybe Axia Magna, I still have no idea) Known for his experiments, Kiyara had started his Proto-Toa project to transform mere matoran into biological horrors, or "Bio-Marendar" as a strikeforce for his army. However, the matoran he tested were not able to survive the procedures performed on them, and only a few of them remained, like Sylah. The mutants resembled various species, like how Sylah resembled a Makuta/Toa Hybrid. Eventually, a hero known as Toa Rahzahkea would come to the island with a group of Toa to slay the tyrant. The Toa underestimated Kiyara's army, and most of them were quickly slain by the islands guards, or captured. Rahzahkea himself was captured and experimented on by Kiyara, who hoped to turn him into another Bio-Marendar like Sylah, but he only got around to performing minor mutations on the Toa, like grafting him claws or giving him Nuva-leveled powers. Eventually Kiyara had created a procedure for summoning a multi-dimensional entity known as Kirathel who Kiyara believed he "loved" (But it was actually a perverted affection), but the summoning process went wrong and the captured Toa used this as an advantage to escape their cells and uprise against Kiyara's army. Sylah and the rest of the Bio-Marendar's were freed and the combined efforts allowed them to take the island over, Kiyara was pushed into the portal he used to summon Kirathel with. Unknown to anyone, Kirathel had transformed into a psionic entity and possessed Rahzahkea's mind.

​The Tower
During the time period of where Kiyara was in an interdimensional anomaly, he met The Wrathbringer, an ancient godlike being who turned Kiyara into it's host, before making a dimensional highway known as "The Tower" and positioning it right next to New Atero. Kiyara had sent Velika (Bionicle the Next Chapter) to posses Genesis' armor, and he was the one who placed the symbol on the Almighty's mask to control and bind him. Once the Vanguard Toa had made their way to Kiyara's lair, the battle initiated after Rahzahkea, Sylah, and Shard realized who they were dealing with. During the battle, Kiyara summoned multiple clones of the Vanguard heroes who ranged from disfigured to undistinguishable to the Toa. He also opened a dimensional portal to funnel energy from, before The Wrathbringer itself rent the sky apart and revealed itself to the Toa. The combined efforts of the Toa rivaled the strength of Kiyara and the dysfunctional Wrathbringer, but the battle halted once Kirathel appeared, recreating her body from the golden particles that surrounded Rahzahkea. Although Kiyara was pleased to finally see Kirathel again due to his "love" for her, Kirathel was hesistant of being around the tyrant, but The Wrathbringer forcibly merged Kiyara and Kirathel together creating the worst enemy the Toa have ever faced. Cloak and Genesis entered the mindscape to destroy the Wrathbringer's mind from there, while the Toa used their powers and skills to try and dismantle the fusion. Eventually, the fusion was destroyed and the Wrathbringer could no longer hold its grip on the world having no hosts to rely on.

It is unknown what happened to Kirathel and Kiyara at that point...

​Personality and Traits
Kiyara was an insane madman who caused all the troubles of the Vanguard Toa, only because of his incredibly strong affection for Kirathel. He had no semblance of Humanity in him, and he seemed to take pleasure in the horrific consequences he created for the Toa. Kirathel herself was hesistant around him because she didn't favor his antics, despite her being a villain herself. Kiyara was the most outright vile of the Heralds, an arrogant, prideful being unconcerned with the suffering of the Vanguard or of his fellow Heralds. Kiyara also had a habit of mocking and belittling the beings that noticed him, as he was a self centered and very egocentric being. Kiyara represented Kirathel's cruelty and ambition.

​Powers, Abilities, and Equipment
Kiyara was the same species as Brutaka, and had the powers that the species had. He could fire energy blasts, negate stasis fields, fly, use psychic abilities, teleport, and had various other powers from being a Wrathbringer host. He was also a skilled scientist. He used a silver Olmak with red tear trails on it.

​Appearance
A being almost identical to Brutaka, but more emaciated in comparison, and possessing gray and red-accented armor, with a silver Olmak. His body was almost always hunched over. His silver Olmak had red tear trails on it.
