Solek (Charatidax Universe)

Solek was a Turaga of Light who was later transformed into a Toa of Light. He currently serves on the Eastern Islands and is a valued member of the Eastern Islands Toa.

Dawn of the Universe
In the beginning, Solek was formed as a Turaga of Light and was assigned to one of the many Eastern Islands. Here he made many Matoran friends. Solek was respected and looked up to by all Matoran. He had a particular interest in Rahi and loved to study them with his Matoran friend, Matoro.

Transformation
Solek was the 23rd Toa to be created. He was transformed into a Toa when he accidentally stumbled across the Kanohi Avohkii. Solek was searching one of the abandoned Northern Islands when he came across a small pedestal. On this was the Kanohi Avohkii. Solek picked it up, not knowing what it was. Just before he put it on, it transformed him into a Toa. Solek then carried a Spiked Blade which replaced his Staff as well as a Beam Launcher. Solek placed the Avohkii back onto the pedestal and built a small cage around it, just in case. He headed back to his homeland to reveal his new appearance to the Matoran and Turaga. Solek was then invited to be an official member of the Eastern Islands Toa. He accepted.

Matoran Wipeout
A long time after his transformation the Matoran were all vanquished. Solek felt particularly down from the loss of Matoro and many other good friends of his. He almost let his guard down when a RUIN agent nearly killed him. He was saved by Toa Arkann who had been mutated into a Toa Hordika not long before.

RUIN-Toa War
Solek contributed massively to the war effort during the battle. He, Kodan and Arkann managed to recapture several Southern Islands and many Western Islands. Solek and Arkann formed a close friendship during the war and almost always fought together. He also managed to use his light powers to influence some RUIN agents to spy for the Eastern Islands. Sadly, the leader of the organisation found out, and had the traitors exterminated.

Abilities and Traits
Solek's weapon, the Spiked Blade, could emit incredible damage to an opponent if he managed to summon enough light. His Beam Launcher could fire a long beam which could disintegrate just about anything. Solek strangely had incredible speed which he used to escape a RUIN Fortress on one of the Western Islands. the Toa of Light's feet also allowed him to jump very high and glide for a long time. Solek preferred combat but was still very skilled with Launcher weapons.
