Outo (Fractures Alternate Universe)

Outo was a quikry Ta-Matoran who was served as a guardian of the Kanohi Avohkii in the Fractures Universe.

Early Life
Like all other Ta-Matoran, Outo began his life on Spherus Magna, where he helped to construct the Matoran Universe. Eventually, he was placed in a village in the Western Plains of the Northern Continent, where he worked as a Trader, often travelling around the Matoran Universe to acquire exotic merchandise.

During one of his journeys, Outo went to Metru-Nui and became enchanted by the island, particularly the commercial nature of Po-Metru and Ta-Metru.

Regularly, Outo's stall was stocked with farming equipment to add the resident agricultural workers of the Western Plains.

However, as the occupatin often required him to travel too frequently for his liking in order to purchase new wares, Outo tired of the profession, giving it up as if it were a passing role.

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 able to safely 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, Outo conscientiously objected to the declaration of war and refused to condone violence, remaining in his village. However, with the majority of his village's warriors away at the war, he was forced to defend his fellow Matoran, becoming a guard for his settlement's shrine, which contained the tomb of Toa Nikila.

Order of Mata Nui Service
Outo managed to survive a large duration of the War in Western Plains of the Northern 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, Outo was driven out of his village.

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, Outo was given the opportunity to help guard the Avohkii.

Shortly after the destruction of their villages, Outo relocated himself to a fortress village in a mountainous region of the Northern Continent named Morcia, in honor of a fallen Toa of Fire, where he joined the community of Matoran and were protected by three Order of Mata Nui agents. It was here that Outo became the Sanctuary Guard for the Kanohi Avohkii, with Carnac.

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. Unfortunately, Outo was captured by the aggressors before being subjected to torture and chained. Of all the shrine guards who were captured, Outo provided the least resilience, which earned him the personal attention of the invading party's leader.

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 Outo was among the Matoran who survived will be revealed in Zero Hour later this year.
