Namoka

Namoka is a former Glatorian of Fire and a member of the [] team.

Equipment

 * Composite bow: Namoka's sturdy, trusty bow was originally crafted years ago from the supple branches of a Tesara tree. After gaining access to her latent Fire mastery, the bow transformed into Toa tool. The grip and arrow rest were now of the hardest protosteel, and while the limbs were still wooden, no longer were they nicked and pockmarked with years of wear and tear. Though Namoka's bow itself is somewhat nondescript, it is of note that she would choose to use a bow as a Glatorian as that meant she would forgo the Thornax Launcher, the bread and butter of any self-respecting warrior's arsenal. Namoka more or less made up for this weakness with her quick footwork and pinpoint accuracy.

Personality
Namoka is, at best, a complex individual. On the surface, she is certainly cheerful and easy to be around, that is, of course, when she is not spouting nonsense about this whole love business.

Her training with Ackar taught her not only how to fight, but also how to hold oneself to a high standard in the Arena. Vulcanus' First Glatorian, for all his flaws, was an excellent mentor to Nakoma and she, too, sought to be as honourable a warrior-for-hire can be, though the work of gladiator isn’t one to be envious of. On the other hand, Nakoma also witnessed the atrocities Malum committed that led to his exile, further strengthening her views. In a sense, she is akin to Gresh, another up-and-coming Glatorian around her age. However, while Gresh would accept a job without payment, Namoka expected some form of remuneration for her services.

Despite her being a fairly young Glatorian, Nakoma had seen her fair share of the Glatorian system and she believes it is flawed, with this realization only further pronounced due to the glaring contrast between Ackar and Malum. She realizes that these arena matches have devolved into a way of life, seeing as the shortage of resources on Bara Magna become more and more pronounced. Though the arena matches served very well to bring Agori into agreement as well as Glatorian together, Namoka ponders whether if these arena matches really are so necessary. Most Glatorian are already fairly close, and the Agori should already understand the notion that killing each other benefits no one. After all, it has been over 90,000 years. If all it takes are two warriors to fight to agree on something, it surprises her that Agori still cannot agree on matters through debate and diplomacy.

The Great Reformation would have a great impact on her beliefs and conviction. With the arena match system now abolished, Namoka turned her attention to integrating the Matoran and Agori societies, not at all a small feat. She has always wanted what was best for her people and without a doubt, it would best for the denizens of Bara Magna to peacefully coexist with those of Aqua Magna. Initially dedicating herself to helping overcome differences between the Matoran and Agori, she discovers something rather curious; those in the Matoran Universe do not understand the concept of love; or, at least, in a romantic sense. Therefore, when she finds an opportune moment, she tries to convince the Aqua Magna inhabitants that love does exist, despite their continued denials.

Namoka realizes that those of the former Matoran Universe will never understand this concept. However, she notices that the Agori could do with some learning of the Matoran ways, who have embraced the need for companionship and mutual respect, despite their different tribes, or rather, elements, as they called them. She decides that she will better intertwine the two groups by continuing to act in a naive manner, as it is far more likely to notice someone talking about sappy, silly, even stupid love opposed to talking about making up and being friends.

Lastly of note is the fact that over the years, Namoka has slowly become more and more adverse to fighting, as her worldview does somewhat extend towards her enemies, in that they, deep down, are capable of being respectable beings once again. She does realize she is now a Toa, or something close to it, and therefore is responsible for keeping the Matoran and Agori who trust her safe. That means exercising a certain degree of force. In spite of this, she does her best to avoid direct conflict and relies on tricks or her agility to get the better of foes.
