Onewa (Pirates)

Onewa is the Toa Metru of Stone and the shipwright of the Lhikan who resides in the Pirates Universe.

Early life
Onewa was a very talented and revered Carver in his Matoran days, and was considered the best at his profession. While revelling in the fame at first, Onewa soon grew bored of his popularity and became more cynical so as to ward off fans and rapid-fire commissions. Despite wanting to retire from Carving to move to his true desire to become a Builder, Onewa remained in his profession due to his amusement at beating his rival Ahkmou in competitions. When the Matoran Civil War, broke out, Onewa served as a soldier against Ta-Metru.

While working on a small bust, Onewa was abruptly greeted by Toa Lhikan, who left him a map and a Toa Stone before promptly leaving. Initially confused, Onewa deduced that the map would lead him to Ga-Metru, specifically the Great Temple. Heading there, Onewa found five other Matoran with similar stones in hand. Thanks to his sarcastic nature, Onewa ended up making a bad first impression with the others. Despite this, Onewa joined them in placing their stones with the Temple's Suva and was subsequently transformed into a Toa along with the others.

Toa Metru
Shocked and stunned by his sudden transformation, Onewa was then told by their resident Toa of Fire, Vakama that he had recieved a vision of Metru Nui in ruins thanks to a monstrous plantlife called the Morbuzahk and that they must search for the Great Disks. Onewa was highly skeptical due to a combination of lingering animosity towards Ta-Matoran in general due to the Civil War and his belief that Vakama had suffered mental damage from working too long in his mask-making forge. Despite this, he agreed to do so on Lhikan's behalf as Vakama had told the others the Toa of Fire had been captured by Dark Hunters.

Searching for the Great Disk of Stone in Po-Metru, Onewa found himself being obstructed by his jealous colleague Ahkmou, who was angered that his rival had been transformed into a Toa. Much to Onewa annoyance, it turned out that Ahkmou knew where to find the Great Disk of Stone. After failing to use his Kanohi Komau to force Ahkmou to give up the information, Onewa simply used his Elemental powers to trap Ahkmou in a humiliating position and got the information that way. The Toa of Stone then managed to retrieve the Great Disk, albeit accidentally getting a large building-sized sculpture to fall on him.

With the Great Disk in hand, Onewa joined the other Toa Metru in defeating the Morbuzahk in the Great Furnace.

The Great Flood
As the Toa Metru approached the Great Barrier, a cataclysmic earthquake caused the wall to crack and let in a large amount of water, washing away and scattering all if not most of the Matoran Spheres across the world and destroying their transport. After recovering, Onewa used his power over Stone and pieces of the destroyed transport to construct a new ship. Happy over his creation, Onewa became protective of his vessel.

Abilities and traits
Onewa was considered the best Carver in all of Metru Nui, granting him fame that he briefly enjoyed before becoming bored with it. As a result of the constant pestering of fans and customers, Onewa became cynical and sarcastic to drive them away. Despite his skill at Carving, Onewa desired to be a Builder.

After becoming a Toa, Onewa was skeptical of the group's ability to be Toa, even himself. His transformation and admittance to having a duty to the Matoran and Mata Nui in general didn't stop him from continuing to down-talk those around him, even Matoran he was supposed to defend. Despite this, Onewa continued to try to be the best Toa he could be and protect Metru Nui, confessing that he's doing so to honor Lhikan.

Onewa is also prideful of things he build, being protective of his ship the Lhikan.

Mask and tools
Onewa uses a pair of Proto Pitons, which he can use to channel his Elemental power or climb objects.

Onewa wears a Great Komau, a Great Mask of Mind Control, which he can use to control beings on about the same or less mental strength as him.
