Vluxx

Vluxx is a toa of twilight native to the village of Kno’zaçee on Yutai Nui.

Matoran
Vluxx lived a very peaceful life as a matoran. He spent much of his time in the village of Kno’zaçee on Yutai Nui, doing various odd jobs to earn himself money. Vluxx eventually managed to find work delivering parcels around to the island's numerous villages. He almost lost the job on several occasions due to not having seen much of the island before. However, he soon managed to harness a good knowledge of the island and became well known in his line of work.

During one such delivery to the village of Iuf, he was tasked with escorting another courier, Tekih, there as well as delivering a package. During the journey to Iuf, Vluxx discovered that Tekih had fallen ill to a rare disease and was in desperate need of medical attention. Vluxx attempted to call for help, fearing that leaving his companion's side would result in death. Fortunately for them, a party of travellers was nearby at the time, and, with their help, Tekih was brought to Iuf where he could recover from his illness. Had it not been for Vluxx's loyalty, he would have died.

Several days later, while in Kno’zaçee, Vluxx received a package from Tekih. He opened the package to reveal a toa stone. A letter was attached, saying that he was grateful to Vluxx for having saved his life. Vluxx, however, was not comfortable with the idea of becoming a toa and kept the stone safe within a chest in his hut.

Toa
During a night of celebration, the annual Fog Festival, Vluxx was out with the rest of his village by the coast. Well into the festivities, however, the ground began to rumble and sent the villagers into a state of panic. The cause of the rumbling was the volcano in the centre of the island. Vluxx, as well as the other villagers from Kno’zaçee, evacuated to the coast in fear of the eruption destroying much of the island.

The eruption itself was not very destructive, however. After experiencing what was thought to be the worst of the event, the villagers continued with the night's festivities, oblivious to the river of lava flowing down towards the village of Kno’zaçee and the threat it posed.

Upon realising the danger, Vluxx rushed back to his hut and activated the toa stone he had kept hidden away, soon transforming himself into a toa. Utilising his new powers as a toa, Vluxx was capable of absorbing some of the destructive for of the lava and therefore prevented it from doing harm to the village.

Vluxx was praised for his efforts and became the protector of his village.

Discovery of Yutai Nui
Many years after the volcano's eruption, the Order of Mata Nui discovered Yutai Nui while exploring the planet and also noted that its inhabitants were all beings of twilight.

After numerous negotiations with the people of Yutai Nui, a bridge was constructed that connected the island to the continent of Chroros Nui. Curious as to what surprises the continent had to offer, he travelled there after leaving Kno’zaçee in good hands. Vluxx ventured to Zutal and managed to find work as a courier, much like when he was on Yutai Nui. However, he discovered that work as a courier in Zutal was far too dangerous for him and so he decided on returning to Yutai Nui.

During this time he also became a member of the Toa's Union.

Joining the Order
After deciding to venture back to Kno’zaçee, Vluxx was approached by Tekih. The matoran encouraged Vluxx to join the Order. Reluctantly, Vluxx agreed and was taken to one of the Order's bases in Zutal to enrol. Vluxx trained with them for two years, having received combat training as well as an opportunity to work as a messenger.

Vluxx took the offer and was later sent to work in Karuga and Voeul. He found the job similar to his previous one and felt much safer thanks to his Order training and the introduction of the negation fields.

Rise of a criminal power
During a mission in Drynr, Vluxx was attacked by two members of the Black Brawler gang. After a brief fight, Vluxx was able to acquire information about the rise of a criminal empire from Ughon. After speaking with the toa, Vluxx was attack by one of the thugs from before. Vluxx was quickly able to disable his foe, and soon continued on to Ïarghul in order to pass the information on to Helryx and Ekh.

Later, Vluxx began a higher level of training with Ekh as his tutor. During this time Vluxx also acquired his scythe. Soon after Vluxx's training was completed he was sent on a mission to Kiihy. In an attempt to find Grindigo and convince the bounty hunter to join the Order's efforts in stopping the rise of the criminal empire, Vluxx was captured and bound. After being interrogated by Grindigo, he was given more information about the rising criminal empire.

Personality and traits
Vluxx is a fiercely loyal character, never willing to abandon a friend's side at any cost. As such, Vluxx cares deeply for his friends and would do anything for them. Vluxx is also a very driven character, letting nothing stand in his way so he can achieve his goals. Due to his stubbornness, however, he has a tendency to be quite naive and often wanders into situations he finds it difficult to get out of.

Due to his curious nature, Vluxx is always willing to learn more and hates having information kept from him. His desire to learn and undying loyalty to his allies have brought up some trust issues. Due to this, he has found himself unable to make new friends because he fears that having too many could result in trouble. Despite this, Vluxx is kind to all he meets and does not hold grudges.

Abilities
As a toa of twilight, Vluxx has the ability to create, control and absorb twilight. Vluxx has displayed proficient skill in manipulating his element, as shown when he was able to completely dissipate a blast of fire with a small beam of twilight. This also displayed his sharp aim and quick reaction time as the fire blast was moving quickly towards him. Vluxx's quick reaction time was also displayed when he managed to avoid a sword strike from a close distance. His skill in unarmed combat is also of a high level as he was able to quickly disarm and knock out and opponent.

Vluxx is very agile, having been able to dive into an alleyway while running at full speed and almost leap over a skakdi in an attempt to get away. This agility has helped him scale large obstacles, as well as move swiftly and stealthily through the shadows. Paired with his agility is a good sense of hearing. Vluxx is capable of picking out key words in distant conversations, as well as identify certain sounds such as the clicking of a gun.

Mask and tools
Vluxx bears the kanohi Requid. The mask allows him to absorb energy from a source and convert it into a more useful form. Vluxx used the mask to take in heat from a lava flow heading towards his village, therefore making it harmless. He also wields a large scythe. Despite its size, however, the scythe is quite light as Vluxx is able to lift and twirl it around with one hand.
