- "No! It needs to be pointed a little more to the left or the fin will break off when we quick-launch into the water!”
“And whose fault is that? If your welding wasn’t so abysmal, we wouldn’t have to worry about the fin coming off!" - ―Defilak and Feton, Rock Bottom: Remastered
Feton is an Fe-Matoran inventor from Mahri Nui. He had a contentious rivalry with fellow inventor Defilak, and often squabbled with him over salvaged materials and the "gifts" dropped into the Voya Nui Bay by the Matoran of Voya Nui.
History[]
Like all Matoran from Mahri Nui, Feton once lived elsewhere in the Matoran Universe. After an accident in his workshop on Nynrah, the local Turaga sent him to Karzahni to be repaired. He was rebuilt into a smaller and weaker form, and then sent to the uninhabited center of the Southern Continent to hide Karzahni's failure. Feton was in the region that would become Voya Nui when the Great Cataclysm launched it up into the Endless Ocean.
Feton quickly established himself as a local handyman and inventor, using what few resources he had to build useful tools and machines to help his fellow Matoran survive. He formed friendly relationships with fellow inventors from neighboring villages, such as Balta and Izer. But when his village decided to move to the growing city of Mahri Nui, Feton found his skills less unique because of fellow local inventors Defilak and Velika. This would quickly evolve into a full-blown rivalry with Defilak, whose skills he viewed as less legitimate due to the fact that his inventing was a more recent focus, unlike Feton's lifelong practice. The sinking of Mahri Nui into the Voya Nui Bay did nothing to change this dynamic
After ten years at the bottom of the Bay, Feton had carved out his own niche making small, complicated devices like time keeping devices called chronometers. Unfortunately for him, his skill was well-regarded enough that Dekar decided to bring him on his expedition into the Black Water as a backup in case anything happened to Defilak and someone needed to drive or repair the Le-Matoran's submersible. Feton was especially disgruntled that Defilak has managed to refine a deep-sea traveling vehicle before him, as he was still working on his own diving suit, the Sea Hunter. Feton and Defilak bickered throughout the entire mission, even after they unexpectedly found a Toa floating in the Black Water and were attacked by Kalmah.
After the expedition party returned to Mahri Nui, Feton remained inside the submersible while Defilak and Dekar went out to confront Kyros. He was the first one to interact with Glace when the Toa woke up inside the submersible.
Personality and Traits[]
Feton is normal a pleasant and amiable individual, but his tendency to hold deep-seated grudges will often overwhelm him and turn his difficult and bitter. Any perceived slight against his inventing and technical skills can earn his ire, and it is very rare that Feton overcomes such bitterness. Even toward those he has no issue with, he's often distant, more interested in his own work than he is in relationships.
Most notably, he has a longstanding rivalry with fellow inventor Defilak, whose inventions he sees as always in competition with his own. The tension is constantly aggravated whenever they try to claim the same piece of salvage or the same "Gift from Above," or when one of them beats the other to a successful invention.
Powers and Equipment[]
As a Fe-Matoran, Feton had a natural skill at ironwork and an innate understanding of most machinery. He also has a natural resistance to heat, but not as much as that of a Ta-Matoran.
After Mahri Nui sunk into the Voya Nui Bay, the small amount of mutagen he was exposed to gave him a stronger, sleeker form more suited to his new environment. Feton wears a Noble Kanohi Ruru. He wields a smith's hammer and a short dagger.
