User:Karaku

Karaku is an Av-matoran nearly fully drained of light.

Pre-Karda-Nui
During his time in the Av-matoran home land, Karaku never really fit in very well. He was always walking off, doing his own little thing. His job was to paint portraits of others, but he never did get them exactly right.

Karda-Nui
During the Karda-Nui saga, Karaku was found by Makuta Antroz and nearly turned into a shadow matoran. He escaped however, and flew for his life. Little didhe know, that his Light was being drained by a severely weakened shadow-leech.

When he returned home, the Leech fell off, dead after draining more light than it could handle. His friends noticed the new appearence in is armour colour, but kept it to themselves.

When night came, Karaku was suddenly filled with the urge to re-build himself into a different form. He worked until morning, before emergeing as a new, more demon-like form. By this time, most of the Av-matoran had been transformed into shadow matoran and were scared that the same thing had happened to him, so they scared him away.

He was later found by Takanuva, who offered him the chance of escape Karda-Nui and a safe return to the light. He accepted the first offer, but declined the light restoration, as his new powers gave him abilities which may be needed.

Metru-Nui and Teridax's reign
After arriving in Metru nui, Karaku remembered that he had been here before. He didn't get the chance to remember when, as Teridax's anouncement happened shortly after.

His current location is with Toa Onua, on th Tren Krom peninsula, about to excercise Tahu's lan.
