Arctur

Toa Arctur is a secretive Toa of Gravity and a member of the Toa Xia.

Early life
Arctur began life as a Ba-Matoran, created by the Great Beings to aid in the construction of the Matoran Universe. Once construction of the Great Spirit Robot had been completed, Arctur was placed on the Southern Continent where he lived with other Matoran of Gravity in a village called Ba-Koro. At some point, the disguised Great Being Velika tampered with the Matoran species, granting Arctur with true sentience.

Life as a Toa
At an unspecified point in time, Arctur received a Toa Stone from a visiting Toa, which imbued him with Toa Power and transformed him into a Toa of Gravity. Not long afterwards, he was recruited into a wandering Toa team which included Trisuma. In the team's nascent days, their leader went mad with power and deserted his teammates on the island of Xia. The Vortixx tolerated their presence in exchange for protection services and, together with the novice Toa Zaria, they became the Toa Xia.

For a time, Arctur and his fellow Toa defended Xia from outside threats. However, things became shaky for the team after Zaria killed a Makuta, which was a violation of the Toa Code even though it was in self-defense. Despite Arctur and others' protests, Trisuma exiled Zaria from the team, depriving the Toa Xia of their crafter. Desperate to procure tools for themselves, Arctur began stealing Vortixx inventions and selling them on the black market, in the hopes he could accumulate the funds necessary to get the Nynrah Ghosts to craft tools for them. Trisuma soon found out about this however and kicked him off the team as well, having the Vortixx banish him from Xia forever.

Abilities and Traits
A secretive being, Arctur hid his mysterious nature behind a jovial facade. He constantly made jokes that either made his teammates laugh or made them irritated. He did not care which affect it had on them, so long as it kept them from asking questions about his history.

Like most Toa of Gravity, he kept use of his Elemental Powers to a minimum, aware of the destructive power they could bring. When he did use his powers however, he had the ability to generate gravitational fields and keep his enemies in place. He could also manipulate one's gravitational pull and either send them flying into the sky or plunging into the ground. His element also gave him the ability to create black holes, though he has yet to do so out of fear of the destruction it could bring.

Masks and Tools
As a Matoran, Arctur wore a powerless Kanohi Hau. As a Ba-Matoran, he had a natural durability to extreme pressures.

Upon being transformed into a Toa, his mask became a Great Mask of Shielding. However, he quickly discarded it in favor of a mask he had found on his former leader's vessel, though he did not recognize the shape and has yet to discover its power.

As a Toa, Arctur wielded an energy blade that could momentarily stun those that were hit with it.
