Vancha (Fractures Alternate Universe)

Vancha was an ignorant Ba-Matoran Agricultural Worker who was served as a guardian of the Kanohi Avohkii in the Fractures Universe.

Early Life
Similarly to all other Bo-Matoran, Vancha began his life on Spherus Magna, where he helped to construct the Matoran Universe. Eventually, he was placed in a small Bo-Matoran settlement in the Mainland Swamp of the Southern Continent.

Brotherhood Invasion
Due to the fact that Makuta Teridax never existed in the Fractures Universe, the Brotherhood did not form The Grand Plan and, instead of waiting for events to fall into place around the Great Cataclysm, accelerated their invasion of the Matoran Universe. Thus, Mata Nui was still able to safely land on Spherus Magna.

Consequently the Order of Mata Nui began conscripting Matoran to serve as soldiers in the upcoming conflict. Unlike the overwhelming majority of Matoran, Vancha conscientiously objected to the declaration of war and refused to condone violence, remaining in his isolated village.

Order of Mata Nui Service
Vancha managed to survive a large duration of the War in Mainland Swamp of the Southern Continent. However, prior to the events of the Final Push, Makuta Gorast led the Visorak Horde into the two main continents of the central Matoran Universe, an offensive which disrupted the delicate balance of power and dislodged the Order of Mata Nui's foothold in the war. Thus, Vancha was driven out of his village.

Fighting for his life, the Bo-Matoran was forced to migrate north, where he encountered a Fa-Matoran refugee named Pofia, who had migrated from a village near the Coastal Desert of the Northern Continent.

At this point in the history of the War, however, Toa Takanuva was killed and his Kanohi Avohkii was smuggled back into the Order of Mata Nui's possession. As the organisation required a secret bunker with which to hide the coveted Kanohi, Vancha was given the opportunity to help guard the Avohkii.

Shortly after the destruction of their villages, Pofia and Vancha relocated to a fortress village in a mountainous region of the Northern Continent named Morcia, in honor of a fallen Toa of Fire, where they joined the community of Matoran and were protected by three Order of Mata Nui agents. It was here that Vancha became an agricultural worker, who worked a regularly worked with a number of other Matoran to mine Protodermis, collect timber, and fish for organic aquatic Rahi.

Zero Hour
However, several centuries later, a Brotherhood of Makuta strike team infiltrated the village in search of the Kanohi after its location was revealed by a captured Order of Mata Nui operative. While the settlement was being occupied, however, Vancha was with a number of other Matoran and Toa Merra in the Great Valley, who were not present at the assembly as they were watching Toa Jekkai attempt to earn a Kanohi mask.

Fortunately, the combined efforts of Toa Meera and Toa Jekkai enabled the Matoran and Turaga to be freed. Although the Toa of Water was crippled in the conflict and her fellow Toa was presumably killed, a small group of survivors managed to escape with the Kanohi Avohkii.

Whether or not Vancha was among the Matoran who survived will be revealed in Zero Hour later this year.
