Kopaka (Echoverse)

"I am a warrior. Let the battle be joined."

- Kopaka

Kopaka is a Toa of Ice and the most skilled warrior of the Toa.

Early History
Kopaka was sealed inside a Toa Canister for thousands of years beneath the surface of the Endless Ocean. Once Takua had placed the Toa Stones into their slots at the Kini Nui Suva, his canister surfaced and headed toward Mata Nui.

Arrival
After his canister beached on the island, Kopaka emerged and headed into the icy realm of Ko-Wahi. He found his way to Ko Koro, where he was worshiped by the Matoran. After being told the legend of the Toa by his Turaga, Nuju, Kopaka began hiking towards Mount Ihu.

Halfway to the mountain, Kopaka met his brother Toa Pohatu. The two made an unsteady quest up the peak.

During the hike, they were attacked by Turahk and Gurrahk, who had sent a Muaka to kill them. But the cat was more interested in eating Turahk, and was quickly defeated by Kopaka. The pair then made it to Kini Nui.

Abilities and Traits
Kopaka is strong, quiet, and a tactical genius. He can control ice and cold, and has a resistance to subzero temperatures as well.

Personality
Kopaka is silent, and prefers to work alone. He will work with his fellow Toa when the time calls for it. He also strongly obeys a code of honor, and fights only according to that code.

He is almost constantly at ends with his brother, Tahu.

Mask and Tools
Kopaka carries an Ice Sword, which he can channel his power of ice through. He also carries a protosteel shield that can deflect most attacks.

He wears the Kanohi Akaku, Mask of X-Ray Vision, which allows him to see through nearly everything except the walls of Makuta's lair.
