Verunax

Verunax is a Runask from the Baterra Magna storyline.

Biography
He came into existence on Mertiros, as do most Runask.

Verunax managed to find a job on Stelt. Living there made it necessary to tech himself to fight, and the result is his custom, sometimes unpredictable fighting style.

He was recruited by the Order of Mata Nui shortly before Teridax's takeover of the universe. Axonn gathered up Verunax and three others, Zundar, Erax, and Zac, to be sent to Bara Magna to retrieve the Mask of Life to heal the universe. The portal they used to get to the desert world malfunctioned, though, and the four were instead transported to an alternate Bara Magna where things have gone all wrong.

The four were dropped in the middle of a battle going on in Arena Magna, one involving enemies with invisibility powers. They team managed to triumph, and took residence in a deserted dwelling. While on errands around the surrounding village, the quartet were individually visited by a strange, cloaked figure, who gave them a dire warning.

The next morning, the four had a brief conversation before setting out on their search. Zac led them to a Toa of Psionics whom he had met earlier, but she attacked them. After she was defeated, Vorox sprang from the ground, and turned out to be led by Malum. After the conflict was halted, he suggested the four head off to Vulcanus, but since it was getting dark, Malum knew the four would likely be Bone Hunter prey.

Verunax tagged along with his teammates as they trudged through the desert. It didn't take long for the sun to set and Bone Hunter to attack, led by Fero. Two Hunters were killed, one stunned, and Fero restrained with, to the Hunters, embarrassing speed. Verunax himself had defeated two Rock Steeds and sent a Bone Hunter flying over to Zundar, who accidentally killed the scavenger. Erax tackled Fero and put his sword to Fero's neck, keeping him still. Fero was told to leave alive and let the four know of any Ignika sightings.

Verunax then assisted in carving out a cave for the quartet to sleep in overnight.

Powers and Abilities
Verunax is a Runask of Kinetics, and thus is able to project kinetic vectors, fire momentum-nulling blasts from his hands, and, with assistance from his gauntlets, create solid objects out of energy.

Verunax is a skilled fighter in several respects, and is more creative and unpredictable than most.

Mask
Verunax wears a Noble Mahiki, with which he can cast illusions.

Tools
Verunax wears twin gauntlets which channel his power and make it easier to create solid-energy objects.

Personality and Traits
Verunax is a somewhat nobler-than-normal Runask, although still willing to kill if necessary, makes sure he's as on the good side as he can be.

He cracks jokes sometimes, using satire occasionally. Even when following orders, he likes to do it his way, which is something of an annoyance to whoever is commanding him.

Trivia

 * Verunax wears his gauntlets all the time, even to bed, and considers them his best friends.
