Kapla (Fractures Alternate Universe)

Kapla was a light-hearted Onu-Matoran fisherman who served as a guardian of the Kanohi Avohkii in the Fractures Universe.

Early Life
Similarly to all other Onu-Matoran, Kapla began his life on Spherus Magna, where he helped to construct the Matoran Universe. He was later placed in an unknown region of the Southern Continent, where he worked in agriculture.

During this period of his life, Kapla worked alongside a number of Bo-Matoran, working in marshlands, blocking up stagnant water pools and stabilizing the ground so it could be built on.

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 the Great Spirit Robot was able to land on Bara Magna.

Consequently the Order of Mata Nui began conscripting Matoran to serve as soldiers in the upcoming conflict. Unlike the overwhelming majority of Matoran, Kapla conscientiously objected to the declaration of war, wishing to continue his job and live a simple life without the influence of warring factions.

Order of Mata Nui Service
Kapla managed to survive a large duration of the War in the Southern Continent. However, during the events of the Final Push, a squadron of Rahkshi, Visorak and Exo-Toa, his settlement was discovered and set ablaze. Fighting for his life, the Onu-Matoran was forced to migrate north. 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, Kapla was given the opportunity to help guard the Avohkii.

Shortly after the destruction of his village, Kapla relocated to a fortress village in a mountainous region of the Northern Continent named Marlott, where he joined the community of Matoran and was protected by three Order of Mata Nui agents. It was here that Kapla continued his life as an Agricultural Worker, often working to catch organic fish down at Marlott's lakeside.

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. Upon raiding the fortress, the majority of Marlott's defensive forces were captured.

During an ensuing conflict at the lakeside, Toa Jekkai was knocked into the strong current of the water. Risking himself, Kapla threw a long jungle vine in after the Toa, in hopes of pulling him ashore. His efforts were, however, ruined by Toa Leontes, a corrupt Toa of Air who proceeded to strike Kapla across the face with his warhammer, cracking the Onu-Matoran Kanohi in half and leaving him in a comatose state. Alika attempted to nurse him back to consciousness in this time, only to have her efforts prove fruitless and to narrowly escape being cornered by Oltab.

Some time after the fighting had ended following the introduction of Toa Thode, Kapla awoke with a new Kanohi, given to him by the Toa of Plasma.

As details of the raid of Marlott remain unclear at this point in time, it is unknown whether or not Kapla was among the surviving Matoran.

Abilities and Traits
To be added

Mask and Tools
Throughout his life, Kapla wore a Powerless Mahiki. This Kanohi was eventually damaged during the events of Zero Hour. Whether this mask was worn throughout the entirety of his time in the Matoran Universe, however, is unknown.

Following the ambush at Marlott's lakeside, Kapla was given a Great Akaku Nuva, a mask fitted with telescopic lenses. Currently, Kapla sports this Kanohi.

In addition, the Onu-Matoran was known to carry a fishing rod.
