OhboyohboyohboythisshouldbeFUN! I haven't done one of these in MONTHS, so today I bring not one, not two, but FOUR characters teasers! 
So, yeah. Four characters today, woo! I'll introduce them one at a time, so as to not get incredibly stale fast. 
First, I thought I'd start off with another antagonist, someone along the lines of Team Rocket in the Pokémon anime (though not as lame... ) This fellow has been mentioned in several character teasers in the past, and is an enemy and rival to not only Kovian, but his friend Dothe as well. Quite egotistical, this fellow does not take criticism well -- and for good reason. Ladies and gents, I present Jocra, otherwise known as Summoner.
Who is he? What are his powers?
Jocra is, for one, named after one of my former RL friends, using the same naming scheme of such characters as Johmak and Tobduk. He's a veteran Dark Hunter with the power to summon the dead -- hence his codename. He is also able to utilize Madusa vision if he so wishes, turning those who look into his eyes into stone -- more than once he has tried to transform Dothe and others into 'decorations' for the Shadowed One, and has failed in most instances. It is said that the only way for the transformation to be reversed is by killing Summoner -- no easy task, mind you.
In terms of back story, Jocra hails from a tribal island. Throughout his life, he studied the dark arts, learning how to use voodoo spells and such to take control of the dead. Eventually he had a run in with a a Higher Deity, who cursed him with the permanent ability to raise the dead as well as the power to turn beings to stone -- with a warning that for each body destroyed, with each enemy killed, his home would become more and more twisted. Ignoring this, Jocra went on what could be described as a crusade with his powers, though few took kindly to the zombies attacking their homes; soon enough Jocra's own land was little more than a nightmarish, poisoned realm, and his armies were destroyed in a mass rebellion. Dejected and defeated, he left, and was eventually recruited into the Dark Hunters.
Jocra is cold, heartless and incredibly egotistical. From his point of view, the fact that his island is gone gives him free reign with his powers, meaning that he no longer needs to be careful of who he fights or how many corpses he raised -- essentially granting him ultimate power. Summoner is among the many Dark Hunters who wish to defeat the Shadowed One and take control of the organization, though unlike the rest, he actually possesses the ability to do so, even if he does lack the skill. Despite this, he is plotting with his closest (for lack of a better word) friend, Fragmenter, attempting to devise the perfect plan for such an act.
... Yeah. I feel like I repeated a bunch of stuff... a lot. W/e.
Who does he work with? Against?
As stated above (a lot) Summoner is a Dark Hunter, and as such works for the Shadowed One, even if he doesn't like it. He is essentially Fragmenter's permanent partner in crime, and the two have become close accomplices. Other than that, their alliances are to themselves, as they seek to take over the Dark Hunters, thoguh for now, they are willing to follow the Shadowed One's orders.
Summoner and Fragmenter, like the Dark Toa, are rivals to Kovian and his group, much like the Dark Toa. Unlike the latter, however, Summoner has no respect for Kovian or Dothe, causing mutual dislike amongst them. He will also not hesitate to attack those 'below' him on Dark Hunter territory, challenging them to duels to the death... and usually winning.
Final thoughts?
Summoner is cocky. Unsurprising. One might think that he will have a lesser role because of this, but as shown with Dagaeris and Tox in Night Ride or Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter, even cocky individuals can prove very important to the story...
Oh, and random bit of trivia -- Jocra uses the Tobduk/Johmak/Jerbraz naming scheme in that his name is the combination of the first and last names of one of my ex-friends. This naming scheme is used by a lot of other characters in DD/BU, including but not limited to Coar, Céris, Kythos and Talsim.
Anyway, second up would be a very sneaky, snaky person, and the final member of the Dark Toa. Terror, Rage, and Technology... All of those are fine and dandy, but what would a group of cliché Toa be without a Toa of Poison? Yup; this is who I will be detailing next -- transformed from a MAtoran and into a Toa of Poison, Kasen brings another threat to the story, partly through ways listed here, and partly through ways that you won't know until he story starts.
Who is she? What are her powers?
You already know the backstory to these Toa by now -- they were Matoran picked up by a group of Dark Hunters and subsequently transformed into five Dark Toa of Fear, Technology, Anger, Poison (as shown here) and another element that you won't know until you know. Kasen is a Toa of Poison, and just like the rearranged version of her name implies, she's a snake -- extremely sly, very quiet, and quite manipulative, many times she needs nothing more than her words to get her job done. Should her tool die, she will turn to her Mask of Disguise to change her appearance and destroy her damage from the inside out -- either way works for her, really.
Kasen is a master combatant when it comes to long range combat, using poisoned darts to her advantage. She's an excellent hand-to-hand combatant, too, being able to paralyze beings by hitting them in the right places, usually after using her flirtatious ways to stall them.
All in all, she's deadly. Not much else to say about her.
Who does she work with? Against?
She's part of the Dark Toa. She's against Kovian and co. For more details look for the Terror/Rage entry or the Anomaly entry.
Final thoughts?
See above.
Kay; third on the list is a Matoran of Air with the unusual ability to copy other beings powers, temporarily shutting them out form their own powers when he does so. This Matoran, if you read what I wrote of Innocence, should be vaguely recognizable, as he made an appearance there. His name? Loky, though he doesn't mind the nickname of Face.
Who is he? What are his powers?
Loky hails from a Matoran trading outpost called Iikol, somewhere near Stelt. Not much is known about him, though he was in the area at the time of Toa Exaina's death, sometime after she had created Exa-Nui, and was interrogated by a Vortixx named Diax later as a result, as he had been accused of committing the crime -- reasons included the appearance of a shadowy Vortixx-like figure at the scene, the finding of several of Diax's possessions in the area, and the overall attitude of the Vortixx. Regardless, Loky provided Diax information on what had occurred, and was left alone after that.
Between that time and Dark Deeds, Loky took part in an experiment in which he was granted the ability to temporarily steal another being's powers for up to an hour. Unsurprisingly, he ended up misusing this power on one of his not so good days, and was promptly inducted into the Dark Hunters. It was around this time that Kovian joined, and being a rather loyal figure in comparison to the Toa, the Shadowed One assigned them to work together on their first mission. Despite initial hostilities, they got over their differences and [DATA CORRUPTED]
Loky is a very mellow being, usually spending his time relaxing. Due to the experiment performed on him, he no longer needs to wear a mask, at the cost of essentially having no face -- instead it is replaced by, quite literally, a blank, green-white space. This does not bother him, as he no longer needs to worry about his appearance, and it doesn't affect his ability to see, hear or speak at all. He carries a pair of unbreakable, green shields, similar to the Dark Hunter Firedracax, and usually acts as a support unit on the field.
Who does he work with? Against?
Loky tends to stay neutral, though has been known to pair up with Kovian (and, through him, other Dark Hunters) on missions.
Final thoughts?
Loky's a pretty cool dude. He's actually the result of the combination of the regular Matoran from Innocence and another Dark Hunter I had planned called Symbiont (essentially a carbon copy of Venom from Spider-Man, now canceled (thank goodness;)) frankly I like this better than the alternative option...
There will be another teaser soon, to go along with the next chapter of Broken Unity, which should be wrapped up by October (no promises.) Hope you enjoyed.
