Wreshi

Wreshi was a Toa of Stone. He lived on Powai Nui and defended the island.

Early History
Shortly after the creation of Helryx, the Great Beings created The Dozen Venturers, with the purpose of exploring the Matoran Universe to check for "glitches" in the world. Wreshi was one of them. After the Great Beings decided that the Venturers were not needed, he and the other eleven were transfigured into Matoran and relocated. He was transformed into a black-and-yellow Po-Matoran. Any recollection of being one of the Dozen Venturers was wiped from his mind.

Wreshi joined the other Matoran in exploring the Matoran Universe, not knowing of his recent history. Eventually, these Matoran were split up, but Wreshi stayed with the larger group of seven, all of them arriving upon the remote island of Powai-Nui, where they fit in with the native Matoran. After a while, Wreshi and the others become Toa to defend their land, as the island was the target of Dark Hunter operations for a mysterious reasons.

At some point an air raid directed by the Brotherhood of Makuta was sent over Powai Nui. To prevented detection, he and five other Toa on his team (the seventh now a Turaga) hid in a pocket dimension. They successfully avoided detection, however the fear brought upon the island caused the population to scatter, leaving a Turaga and two of her Matoran helpers.

The Feral Plains
After aggressive "colonist" Matoran and Toa arrived on Powai Nui, Navahko and Corduk were summoned. However, Corduk began fading in-and-out of existence, later revealed to be Makuta Hysterix messing with the Shrine of Salvation. When Navahko used the machine to enter the pocket dimension to save Corduk, he saw that Wreshi was awake prematurely. Wreshi acted aggressive, apparently having been possessed by Hysterix. After he battled with Navahko and Corduk, the three of them were transported back to Powai Nui, where Wreshi was rendered unconscious. After a while, Hysterix left his body.

During an attack by the natives on the colonists, Wreshi fought alongside Navahko and Corduk. Hysterix showed up out of nowhere, and began wreaking havoc, damaging Wreshi badly. Onu-Matoran Keelo was then mutated and transformed into a very powerful Toa, casting the island into a time of darkness. Wreshi and Navahko were captured and held prisoner in the wilderness by Hatar. Howver, at one point, Wreshi was able to sieze his Pickaxe, using it to brutally defeat Hatar in the blink of an eye. However, a feeling of bloodlust (revealed to be a part of his own personality) came over him, and Navahko had to stop him from killing the Toa of Gravity.

Note: Wreshi's story is still in progress.

Powers and Equipment
As a Toa of Stone, Wreshi is able to control the element of Stone. He wears the Great Kanohi Vorpin, Mask of Touch, which allows him to greatly manipulate objects that he touches with his hands. He is also quite fast, even for a Toa of Stone, with a record top speed of 35 miles an hour.

Wreshi wields the Recoiling Pickaxe, a weapon which uses hydraulic pistons to fire back and forth rapidly. This creates the effect of a jackhammer, allowing him to make the most out of hit-and-run tactics.

Personality
Wreshi is naturally a fun-loving character, and is very courageous. Out of all of his team members, he has likely sustained the most injuries, and wears them as badges to show his experience. All of his gloating is usually done sarcastically and jokingly. On the other hand, some dark part of his mind finds pleasure in destruction. He is known to degrade into complete savagery during battle, possibly destroying the landscape and doing much more damage than needed.

Trivia

 * Despite being one of his least favorite Toa characters, CaptainLandr0ver still sees Wreshi as a likeable character.
 * Due to his mask, abilities, and speed, Wreshi is possibly the most powerful Toa on his team.
 * Because of the manner of his creation, Wreshi displays traits not usually associated with a Toa of Stone, namely his black and yellow color scheme and streamlined build.
 * The area on Powai Nui labeled as "the region of stone" is an expansive desert full of red sand and plateaus. Wreshi spends much of his freetime running there.
