"Wait," Mazor stood up, "I should say my piece before you leave.  I had the sphere for a while back during the war. I was ordered to use it to kill Mata-Nui. But when I got there Mata-Nui ordered me to give the sphere." He paused and swallowed the lump growing in his throat. "I made a deal with Mata-Nui. I gave him the sphere, and he gave me a destiny he couldn't control."

Mazor slouched and sighed. "I'd say it's a long story, but it's really not. Just give me a moment." Mazor walked over to a stump and sat down. Jojax was still munching away on the mushroom.

Mazors eyes widened in fear and he took a step back, shielding the child. "Where did you get that thing!"

As Mazor inserted the spoon into the skaklet's mouth the baby imediatly spit the paste out. Mazor frantically searched the table, he picked up a musroom and gave it to the child. The skaklet ate it greedily. "I mean, I found the child in the forrest after I left Metru Koro... I suppose I'd call him Jojax, it'd be rude not to call him something."  He shook his head, then extended a hand to shake. "Anyway, I'm Mazor."

A look of surprise overtook Mazor's face, he was clearly impressed. "Why, thank you." He walked over to the table and got a spoonfull of applesauce to feed the baby.

Mazor nodded. "I've been trying to get away from it all and figure some things out, but it seems like fate keeps catching up with me." He looked briefly down at the skaklet, who was beginning to calm down. Then looked up at Sidra and Viltia, who had just arrived. "I assume if people were evacuating there must be a settlement nearby. The kid could use some proper food."

Mazor nodded. "I've been living in the wilderness for a little while now. I had no idea."  Up in the tree the baby continued to wail. "One moment." Mazor turned and climbed the tree to fetch the Skaklet. He came back down and started rocking the baby to try and quiet it. "Is the threat gone?"

IC: Mazor- Kini Nui

Mazor paused and lowered his weapon. "Evacuation? We actually just arived here."

As Mazor was walking back to retrieve the child, there was suddenly the sound of many branches rustling and snapping. He quickly drew his launcher, which had a high power weakness disk inside, and slowly walked into the clearing. A large mechanical being stood before him as he looked upwards he heard the thing speak. "Hello?" Sidra's voice emerged from the mouth of the towering mech, "Is there anyone out here?"

Mazor grunted, clearing his throat. The skeletal man aimed his weapon at what he assumed was the things head and spoke loudly.  "Can I help you?"

Mazor sat wedged between the branches of  a tree, his mind empty as he watched his quarry. a deer like creature with one antler sticking out of the middle of it's head.  Carefully he aimed the freeze disk at the creatures hindquarters, hoping to freeze it's legs so it couldn't get away. 

Several Bio away, a young skaklet was bundled up tightly in mazors old cloak. A piece of fabrick had been soaked in honey and stuffed into the childs mouth to keep it quiet, but the honey flavor was almost gone, and the boy was getting testy. He spit the fabrick out and began screaming at the top of his tiny lungs.   Sidra would have been able to detect the childs thoughts. HUNGRY! HUNGRY! WANT DADDY! WANT DADY!

As the child's wailing echoed through the forrest, the deer jerked it's head up and than bolted. Mazor pulled the trigger a second too late and froze a nearby tree instead of the creature. He swore to himself as he climbed down to retrive his disk. If the child couldn't shut up neither of them would get any food.

OOC: @Gecko Greavesy.   

Name: Mazor
Species: Unknown
Faction: Unaligned
Brief Description: Mazor is a tall humanoid figure, about a head higher than a Toa. He is extremely gaunt and lanky. His organic tissue is diseased and rotted, barely holding his limbs together. His armor is green and grey. A cracked Mask of Undeath is fused to his face. He normally covers his body with a grey cloak.
Background/Occupation: Mazor started his life on a small southern island. He was very well known for his skills at hunting Rahi. Seeking fame and fortune he traveled to the southern continent and took jobs hunting both Rahi and People. One day, while out on mission he obtained a mask of undeath. The mask was improperly made and when he put it on it fuzzed to his face, mutating his life essence. For a while he served with the Leauge of Six Kingdoms, but during the battle of Metru-Nui he negotiated for freedom from all obligations, he set out into Zakaz with the goal to forge his own future in this new world.
Flaws: His decaying body is extremely fragile, making him easy to injure. He is also not very strong. After leaving the Dark Hunters he committed to avoid killing if at all possible, and will often go against orders to preserve other's lives. If his mask is destroyed he will cease to exist, even if his body is still intact. He is extremely independant, and doesn't like being told what to do.
Powers: Mazor has a mask of Undeath Fuzed to his Face. The faulty mask's power weakens his strength and durability, but enhances his speed and dextarity. So long as the mask is attached to his face he cannot be killed and all parts of his body he is connected to will continue to function regardless of how injured he is. Disconnected body parts cease to function, but can easily be re-attached. Sustained damage to the mask has caused it to leak life energy. He must absorb the life energy of others to sustain himself. This produces a similar effect to the Hunger rahkshi powers. This power is always on at a low level, enabling him to detect nearby life forms, and he has figured out how to differentiate different levels of inteligence, but he cannot identify individuals with this power.  He also carries a short sword and a specialy built Kanoka launcher. This launcher is designed to fling disks extra far, and has a sniper scope. He also usually uses Le-Metru disks for extra dsitance.

Loved reading what's been said so far. I'm most inclined to think that creatures like keetongu and krahka are rahi simply because the matoran say so. 

That being said, keetongu's species might have gotten labeled as rahi because they isolated themselves (wether intentionally or not) from the wider matoran society.

Jephro had been sitting looking at the ground when someone bumped into him, jerking him out of his thoughts. "What's going on?" 

IC: Mazor-Metru Koro

Mazor nodded. "I had been hoping you would help me, I feel responsible for a lot of this, and I was hoping you'd help me fix it. But if you need time I understand."

IC: Mazor-Metru Koro @Conway

Mazor sighed and looked to the ground. "I...I wanted freedom, everyone was teling me what to do. I wanted to make my own destiny. The only thing is..." he looked back at Irna. "I think he erased my past. I think that's why you don't remmember me."

IC: Mazor-Metru-Koro @Conway

"When we got there we recovered an artifact. I grabbed it, and the dead began to come to life. We had to scramble to escape the undead matoran. I was in charge of keeping the artifact, and I didn't trust the Baraki, so I would confide in you. We went on a mission deep beneeth the archives, we were supposed to use the Artifact to Kill Mata-Nui, but I was feeling rebellious, and made a bargan with him instead. You didn't think it was a good idea..." His voice trailed off. He had been looking at the ground, at this point he looked back up. "Do you remember all that?" 

IC: Mazor-Metru-Koro @Conway

"It was as we were preparing for a salvage expedition. We were going with a group to recover a crashed Nynrah Ghost Ship." 

IC: Mazor-Metru-Koro @Conway

Mazor took a step back, "Yes, there is. We used to be good friends. I trusted you more than anyone else in the league." He paused, then sincerely asked, "Do you really not remember me?" 

IC: Mazor-Metru-Koro @Conway

"Yes," Mazor Nodded, he had been wondering what he would say, and he couldn't think of any way to handle things lightly, so he just got to the point. "Do you Remind me?"

Mazor-Metru-Koro @Conway

Mazor simply nodded and left the room. He proceeded to wander Metru-Koro, looking for his old friend Irna.

IC: Mazor-Metru-Koro, Village Infirmary @Toru Nui  @Tarn

Mazor nodded. "Were both pretty tired, we don't have to leave immediatly. And there's someone in town I'd like to catch up with.

IC: Mazor-Metru-Koro, Village Infirmary @Toru Nui @Tarn

"I was kind of hoping that if we dug it up, I'd be able to fix all this... When I used it I felt some kind of outside force comforting and guiding me."

IC: Mazor-Metru-Koro, Village Infirmary @Toru Nui @Tarn

"It was a really strange place," Mazor said to Gnabol, "It was a series of tunnels even deeper then the archives. The Walls were covered in Rotting Flesh... I-I think it was his brain."

IC: Mazor-Metru-Koro, Village Infirmary @Toru Nui @Tarn

Mazor nodded. "I've never been more certain." He couldn't think of what else to say. He wanted to try and fix what had happened, but he didn't know what to do. He was thinking about going after the Krom sphere again, but it was a long shot and he didn't want the others to feel like he was going to drag them into it.

IC: Mazor-Metru-Koro, Village Infirmary @Toru Nui @Tarn

"I'm sorry. I was being selfish." Mazor said. His voice was sincere but his statement wasn't directed at anyone specific. He sat down and sighed, rocking the skaklet to sleep.

"I know what you must be thinking, the Krom Sphere didn't cause the crash." He paused for a moment and swalowed a lump in his throat. "My choices caused it." 

"The person I gave it too...Was an avatar of Mata-Nui. Pridak sent me on a mission, we went beneeth the archives. I was supposed to use the sphere to kill Mata-Nui. But I was selfish, and I gave him the sphere in return for a freedom from destiny. I don't know what happened after I left the room, I don't know if Mata-Nui would intentionally kill himself, or if he just didn't have time because I spent so long bartering. He said he was going to remake the world into a better place. I didn't know I would cause all this suffering." another lump was caught in his throat, and he couldn't swallow it, his eyes grew wet.
