Tama was a Hordika Toa of Water who co-founded the Kirehe with Praadok and later became captain of a pirate vessel after being horribly mutated by experiments done by the Brotherhood of Makuta.
History[]
Beginnings[]
Like most Matoran, Tama started his life on Spherus Magna, created by the Great Beings to construct the Great Spirit, which he was then placed inside, residing on the island that would be later known as Visorak. He and the other Matoran on the island coexisted with the Virakan, the islands native species.
Abilities and Traits[]
Tama was a brash individual with no sense of grace. Whenever given the opportunity, Tama attempted to solve his problems physically and forcefully, with minor disputes often resulting in brawls. Incredibly reckless, Tama had a tendency to charge into a fight with no prior planning. Despite this, Tama was a quick thinker with a good eye who could gain the upper hand in a fight through more than just brute strength. Outside of combat, Tama's intelligence was average and unnoteworthy.
Anyone who had made a friend with Tama had made a friend for life; unless they do something to break that friendship. While seemingly having no care for himself, Tama cared about his comrades, often prioritizing them over him. However, this intense loyalty can result in him being easily manipulated.
Tama never used any formal weapons as Toa, instead relying on his fists as well as the added strength granted by his Pakari. After becoming mutated, Tama could not access Kanohi powers, but was granted superior strength from the experiments. Tama began to utilize his massive claw arm as both a blunt instrument and a deadly grip.
As a Toa, Tama had control over the element of water. In battle, Tama's powers typically manifested into a varied amount of fists made up of water. However, he can manipulate water in a multitude of ways and synergize his powers with others; he and Praadok would commonly make miniature typhoons against particularly strong opponents.
When the Kirehe were captured by the Brotherhood of Makuta, they were subjected to experiments involving the newfound Hordika venom. Each Toa received a dose of the venom infused with various virus used to create Rahi to influence what Rahi-traits each Toa would inherit. As a result of the experiments, Tama lost his ability to use his Kanohi and Elemental powers and was turned into a half-beast, half-Toa. Tama gained attributes akin to that of a Manas crab. He inherited the species' formidable strength and tough armor, turning him into a sort of living wrecking ball. However, he inherited the species' foul temper and aggressiveness towards other Manas. He also became more susceptible to the cold.
