Magnon

"I guess you could say I have a magnetic personality!"

- Magnon to Shanohn, upon opening an elevator door, using his powers

Magnon was a good-natured Toa of Magnetism from Primordius Magna. Beginning his life as a matoran from Metru Minor, Magnon fought in the Primordius Magna Civil War, as a member of the Metru Minor Army.

Pre-Civil War: Life as an Inventor
Before the Civil War, Magnon worked as an inventor in his home Metru. Although he enjoyed his work, and had numerous brilliant ideas, many of his inventions were flawed. However, as time went by, Magnon grew in experience, and thus, he was recognized for his talent. Most notable among his works, was the Exo-Suit, a manned robotic frame, in which the driver operates.

Early Career
Magnon's major innovation was one of the first major industrial research labs, to be constructed in the greater Metru Major area. Built using profits from sales of the Exo-Suit, this lab became Magnon's permeant location for building and experimenting for the next 26 years. However, in the year 45 BKT, due to a near bankruptcy, Magnon was forced to sell his research lab. Marltax & Krikk Ltd. put up a bid of 10,000 credits for the lab, which Magnon gratefully accepted. The Exo-Suit was Magnon's first major financial success, and Marltrax & Krikk Ltd. became the first institution to be set up with the specific purpose of producing technological innovation and improvement. Despite the fact Magnon had numerous employees, whom carried out research and development, under his direction, Magnon received a majority of the legal attribution to his inventions. However, his employees did not take kindly to this, and went on strike. Nearly all Magnon's employees were fired, and Marltax & Krikk Ltd. ended up filing for bankruptcy.

Work with Shanohn
Searching in vain for new employees, Magnon traveled to around several islands, showcasing his inventions. During an exhibition on the island of Odinax, Magnon met a Ta-Matoran named Shanohn, and in the following days, the two of them grew to become best friends. Shanohn was a practiced smelter, as metalwork was a hobby of his, and therefore, was hired by the inventor. Shanohn began his carrer, working for Magnon, as a consultant egineer, in 39BKT. Shanohn assisted in such experiments, as the Virtual Reality Training Helmet (VRTH), early plasma lighting, and other developing invetions. However, Shanohn's primary assistance was focused in the developement of the plasma light. In 32 BKT, Magnon appointed Shahnon chief engineer of the Maltrax & Krikk Plasma Lamp works.

Primordius Magna Civil War
As inseparable as the two friends may have been, when Kronaxx took over, and cilvil war was declared, each chose to fight for their homeland. Whilst Shanohn went off to aid the Fellowship of Kentis Nui in their defense of Odinax, Magnon enlisted in the Metru Minor Army, thus as a whole, became a member of the Confederate Empire of Shadows' army. Although Magnon may have been recognized as a talented inventor back home, in the army, he received no such recognition, and therefore was made a spy for the army.

Abilities and Traits
Magnon was of a kind and phlegmatic nature, getting along well with almost everybody. Always an optimist, Magnon could see the positive side of everything, including his own enemies. However, his compassion and optimistic views, as well as being his best traits, were also his greatest weaknesses.

Tools
Magnon's toa tool of choice was the Semis-Automatic Rifle. Utilizing this weapon, Magnon could channel his magnetism powers, as well as gun-down any foe whom opposed him.

Mask
Magnon bore the great Kadin, the mast of flight. When activated, this mask would allow Magnon to soar, effortlessly, through the sky. As well as using it in battle, or whilst traveling long distances, Magnon used his Kadin for recreational purposes too.
