Discharge

"Discharge" is a Ywinakim Dark Hunter.

History
Like the rest of his kind, he was created by Mata Nui on the island-kingdom of Ames. At some point, Discharge attempted to assassinate one of the island's previous rulers. However, he was discovered by a guard and was forced to flee from his home. He wandered about for a time until he came to Stelt. He took on various roles for its higher-class inhabitants, and would move from one employer to the next. During one job, however, he was caught in an explosion that took his eyes and his left arm.

A Dark Hunter was nearby when it happened, and took an interest in the unfortunate victim. Spiriting him away to Odina, he was stabilized by their scientists. They conducted a number of experiments on him, which granted him eletroreception and echolocation. He was given a mechanical arm, and was allowed to join the Dark Hunters. He took on the name "Discharge".

During the Destiny War, "Discharge" took part in the assault on Destral. While he survived the battle, he was forced to join Tahu's resistance when Teridax overthrew Mata Nui. He took part in the Battle for Bara Magna, surviving to see it become restored. He vanished without trace after that.

Abilities and Traits
"Discharge" was always hotheaded and headstrong. He was known for starting fights at Stelt, and often made left the place where it occurred in a wreck.

As a Ywinakim, he possesses great strength and the ability to manipulate electric currents and heat. He gain electrorepction and echolocation as a result of the experiments conducted onto him. He lost his heat-based abilities as well, however.

Mask and Tools
Like his kind, he doesn't need to wear Kanohi Masks for his health. As such, he prefers to wear a helmet that covers his scarred skull. He bears a mechanical arm capable of channeling his electrical powers, ending in sharp pincers. He also has two antennae attached to his back, which too can channel his blasts.

Trivia

 * "Discharge" has gone through a couple of redesigns and rectons.
 * He was originally built 2009, where he was more bestial, in both design and personality.
 * He was recreated in 2011, this time more humanoid and with a different background: He was a member of Trinuma's species, and hired by the Brotherhood of Makuta to guard the Ahvokii after they stole it. This was dropped for his third and recent incarnation, after Ahpolki Inika discovered that Trinuma's kind naturally possessed horns, something the second MOC of "Discharge" didn't have. He was made a member of Knilac's species when he remembered the similar use of their masks.
 * His torso design was the same used for Nutaj's revamp and Ainasev's build. In his second incarnation, he bore "Keetorange" and dark-blue armor, with bits of silver. He bore an upside-down dark-blue Great Ruru as a helmet. However, the images on MOCpages were lost when the site suffered a major server crash.
 * The antennae are a recent add-on to his third and current portrayal.
 * His theme is "Kill The Sound", by Celldweller.
