Viturus

"You guys had better get up here! There is a four armed lunitic breaking everything, and it's not Deathstalker!"

Viturus to Terras and Lithal, Spherus Magna

Viturus is a headstrong Toa of Sonics. He prefers to listen instead of talk, and he is a talented engineer. He has designed many weapons, some of which are still used in the Brotherhoood In Arms. Viturus was the last being to see Toa Kyxien alive, and blames himself for what happened. His natural instinct for battle stratagies makes him invaluable for large scale combat. He is fiercely loyal to Tasorin, feeling that he owes him for the loss of his brother.

History:
Viturus was a De-matoran on one of the southern islands. He lived the normal life of a chronicler untill a Toa by the name of Kyxien came to his village and installed himself as their guardian Toa. Kyxien was a just and honorable Toa who was recognazed as a true hero by all in the village and beyond. One dark day, the volcano on the western part of the isle erupted. Viturus was inside a temple that was built in the side of a mountain, and he was working on the wall of history when Kyxien burst into the lower temple. Kyxien said that Mt. Niru was erupting and that they needed to evacuate. Viturus proptly followed the Toa as they asended to the exit, then the aftershock hit. The temple wall buckled then collapsed on Kyxien, Viturus tried to help the fallen Toa out from under the rubble, but the mountain shook violently again and the entrance was collapsing. Kyxien told Viturus to take his hand, Viturus grasped the Toa's hand and felt a surge of power. Viturus stood up, a full fledged Toa. He tried to lift the rubble that now conceled the Turaga Kyxien, but his powers were to onew to him and he could not. Kyxien voice came from under the rubble begging him to leave while he could. Viturus refused, but the explosion that ripped from the volcano as it completely erupted threw him towards the exit and collapsed the tunnel.

When the Volcano stoped erupting Viturus tried for days to dig Kyxien out, but he had no success. On his fourth day of digging a figure landed on the shore in a small boat, and he went to the temple. He told Viturus not mourn over the loss of Kyxien, but to rejoice that his power lived on in him. Viturus told the stranger that he knew nothing about who Kyxien was, and to leave him alone. The stranger grabbed Viturus's mask and told him that he knew Kyxien long before him. Viturus asked who he was, the figure replied that his name was Tasorin, and that Kyxien was his brother. When Viturus heard this, he apologized, and told Tasorin that Kyxien perished trying to save him. Tasorin told Viturus of the Brotherhood In Arms, an orginazation that protected matoran and vanquished Makuta. Viturus offered his services to Tasorin, and Tasorin, seeing the potential in this silver armored Toa of Sonics, accepted his services and brought him back to Spes Nui.

More coming soon.
