Septimus (Chalkaverse-1)



"That's a roight-fine pike you goht there, maight."

- Septimus to Matoro

Septimus was a Ba-Skakdi Warlord in the Chalkaverse-1.

Early Life
Similarly to most other Skakdi, Septimus was created by Mata Nui and placed on Zakaz. Septimus, like other Skakdi, was a mostly peaceful being, contributing to the tranquil Skakdi society.

However, Makuta Spiriah eventually came to the island and saw that the Skakdi could serve well as soldiers. He began experimenting on the race, and eventually everybody Skakdi had elemental powers, vision-based powers, and other special abilities. It was through this that Septimus gained Gravity powers, Fatigue Vision, and Blinking. Spiriah later left temporarily, leaving behind Visorak to keep the Skakdi in-line. The now-violent Skakdi began killing the Visorak, and there were none left by the time Spiriah returned to the island. With the Visorak gone the Skakdi began fighting one another.

Septimus fought for a female Vo-Skakdi Warlord, and continued to serve her when she and the other warlords stopped the civil war by forming factions.

At some point, Septimus was sent to Stelt with a group of other Skakdi to get new weapons.

Traits
Like the rest of his kind, Septimus is naturally belligerent. His time spent as a Warlord has helped him develop a knack for tatics. Despite his warring nature, Septimus was known to be rather easy-going, a trait gained from his travels in the Matoran Universe.

Septimus was known to have a thick accent, gained on an island in the Southern Chains.

Abilities
Being a Ba-Skakdi, Septimus could create and control Gravity, but only in conjunction with another Skakdi.

Septimus possesses Fatigue Vision, which causes the target to become extremely tired. Septimus's other ability is Blinking, allowing him to teleport to anywhere in sight.

Equipment
Prior to his expedition to Stelt, Septimus carried only a sword for battle.

On Stelt, Septimus stole a uniquely designed Gravity Hammer, which he later dubbed the "Fist of Rekt." This hammer was able to manipulate gravity, as well as channel his own gravity powers.

Trivia

 * Septimus takes inspiration from the Jiralhanae of Halo and the Orks of Warhammer 40,000. The Jiralhanaes' influence is shown in his name and his Gravity Hammer, named after the Fist of Rukt famously wielded by Chieftan Tartarus. The Orks' influence is primarily seen in his accent, based off the Orks' accent in the video game Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine.
 * Septimus was originally going to possess speech patterns as close to the Orks' as possible. However, C33 decided to drop this in favor of just using the accent, though Septimus does still occasionally speak like an Ork.
