Katuko Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Madrihk fled during the attack on and destruction of Pala-Koro and has not been seen since. I don't know about Voriki.My personal thought on Madrihk is that he is playing with rocks and seashells by the coast at the Le/Ko-Wahi border. Occasionally he draws a caricature of Heauni and other villains in the sand, adds some childish details to make them look bad, then he stabs the drawing with his pointy finger before starting over again. Occasionally he throws a pebble at the drawing afterwards. Sometimes he just draws the head very close to the water so that the waves wash it out.He likes imagining their wet gurgles.

Constructelf Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I think it's because in this game, a Mata level toa, which Orieus is, produces a much greater amount of EE than, say, Mahri, Hagah, or Mangai level toa. Orieus's body simply produces too much EE for Inu to absorb. It all, leaving him with a (semi-depleted?) resevoir of elemental energy.As for the mask, no idea.

Elrond of Rivendell Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 The mask is already explained in the description. It over-rides any parakuka break in concentrations. However, Nuju's original post for the parakuka, as well as his answers in previous posts afterward, seem to say that elemental control is gone as soon as the parakuka bonds itself to its host. But I was wondering if he changed something in later posts that I missed. -Elrond Gentlemen, it's time to spread the word.

Visaru Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Oreius is not a normal Toa- he's a Chosen One. That's why he can use his EE. See Constructman's explanation. -------------- Tarrok | Korzaa | Verak | Kirik -------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krayzikk Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Only Oreius is capable of using his element and mask, despite having a Parakuka. Perks of being a Chosen Toa. There's a description Nuju gave when a few of us inquired about it over Skype, but what it boils down to is that only he can do it.

Meta-Mind Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I'm pretty sure it has something to do with "he was transformed with the Parakuka on, so Inu got some of the benefits of Toa Power too." Basically, the same reason that Inu can now hijack Oreius's body in an emergency, and that the two can communicate much more instinctively than before....So yeah, Dark magic.

- JL - Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Inu WAS bathed in toa transforming energies along with Oreius as well. That might've changed him. Maybe he's no longer an ugly slug but a handsome face attached to the back of Oreius's neck.

Constructelf Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 No, Inu's still a slug; it's just that there's a plate of armor covering him so that he isn't exposed as most other parakuka bearers are. The untrained observer may not even notice him there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyru Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Can anyone explain to me why Oreius can access his elemental powers. Is this a special power, or can a character access his elemental power with his parakuka deactivated? I want to add that this isn't jealousy, I'm trying to establish the limits of Parakuka power. You've all given some excellent answers, but the real reason for Oreius' miraculous power is this: Oreius and Inu underwent a transformation together. Oreius' becoming a Toa with Inu attached made the two separate beings become one. In a word, fusion. The two are fused into one being. Because they are so closely linked, and Inu's thoughts are practically Oreius' thoughts, Oreius still has the focus necessary to use Kanohi masks and elemental powers. Upon activation, however, the two experience a loss of finer control, and thus they trade mask and elemental powers for enhanced strength and speed. Oreius' and Inu's situation is hardly one that can't be replicated. If any Matoran with a Parakuka were to transform into a Toa, I would expect the same thing would happen, although Oreius and Inu would still be more powerful, due to the effects of the Essence Stone as opposed to a regular Toa Stone.

Krayzikk Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 No, Axilus. They still undergo activation just like any other Parakuka user.
