Arrum are humanoid beings that can use elemental powers, based on their race.

History

Arrum were created before the Toa as a prototype. They were later perfected and eventually became Toa and Matoran. Arrum were allowed to live however because of their extraordinary strength. Arum were placed on an island in the eastern part of Mata Nui, and the island was never put on any map, hiding them forever.

Colonization

However, some Arrum disagreed with others over religious reasons and moved to different islands. Eventually a plague spread on the home island and it was deemed inhospitable. One Arrum colonists landed on an island in the souther chain and named this new island, Indarus, or Salvation. When Mata Nui crashed on Aqua Magna, it killed many Arrum. Only one village remained on Indarus, yet it was thriving.

A Vast World

A adolescent Arrum by the name of Adert got into an argument with the village elders and accidentally destroyed the entire village. Adert was the only one who survived, but didn't remember anything.

Spherus Magna

Unknown to Adert, the sole survivor, there were many other Arrum. After the Great Spirit robot could no longer sustain life, the Arrum exited the body from the left foot and settled in Lein's Drift. However, some Arrum were not able to exit the GSR, and thus are still trapped in it.

Tomorrow Day

While Adert watched the world as he knew it die out, he saw the death of the Arrum at the hands of a band of Skrall, save for one who he recognized as Wilora. Following the attack, Adert went to Teriff and forced him to save Wilora. He also attacked Orim, a Skrall, in retaliation for the extinction of his species.

Triva

• The plural of Arrum is still Arrum.

• Most of the Arrum abilities and powers are based off of scraps of old stories Darker511 wrote.

• At first, the Arrum were made so that Darker511 could write his own story, but eventually he could not keep up with this story and thus scraped it. He then brought back the Arrum when he faced a dilemma about Adert's species.

• The Arrum's history was made up as Darker511 created this page.

• The Mind-Wanderers' abilities and traits were inspired by Professor X from the Xmen movies, particularly Days Of Future Past, and Shawn Spencer from Pysch.

• The Ground-Quakers' anti-socialness was inspired by Will Burrows from the Tunnels series.

• In non-cannon, Wind-Walkers are able to beat you at any video game.

• All of the known Arrum were people who Adert knew well.

• Most Arrum are not destined to be transformed by Energized Protodermis, and have an extremely bad reaction to its effects.
