I've never tried this game up to this point, so I think I'll try my hand at it here. This looks pretty fun.
Well, here goes:
Name: Full name Tekronos (Tee-cro-nos), known only by Tekro
Species and gender: Male Su-Matoran (Plasma)
Appearance: His appearance is a virtual clash with his personality, but he considers it a yin to his yang, so to speak. He is alarmingly tall for a matoran, sporting clean and bright orange armor alongside a secondary color of dark purple. His unusual Kanohi Oncaii, bearing a short single horn and two antennae-like attachments, almost completely obscures his eyes at certain angles, but the bright green glow beneath his brow is inescapable. He wears thick layers of dark thermal material that he currently specializes in crafting, with a snow camoflauge-patterned cloak on top, a garb often worn by elitist Ko-matoran guard. He won't say where he acquired it.
Kanohi: He dons a Kanohi Oncaii. The mask was rare before many of his tribesman disappeared in the advancing ice, and he now believes that he is in possession of the only one left in existence. It has no powers aside from the supernatural tales woven behind it by his now deceased tribe elders. Despite its seeming uselessness, he takes much pride in the mask.
Weapons: Tekro never needed much aside from his Su dagger with a matching sheath. The thing is an antique, made with more aesthetic appeal than function, but it has served its purpose on multiple occasions with rahi skirmishes. He won't accept keeping it any less than razor sharp.
Equipment: Tekro has a relatively fit build to match his height, enough to carry a full emergency pack that will keep him sustained for several weeks. The bulky backpack is nearly spilling over with various dry foods, tools, and other survival equipment. He likes to think of it as preparedness, but he knows better than to deny that he just wants to mess with essentials as little as possible. He also wears an articulate metal necklace, a gift from Sarie before her disappearance.
Abilities, Powers, Skills: None other than his ingenuity. Tekro was the mind of his tribe, and it's how he managed to outsurvive them all. That, and he also ran the fastest. He thinks of unique solutions to problems, and sometimes implements his ideas into primitive contraptions around his household. Unfortunately, the only thing that has lasted longer than a week was his manufacturing technique for thermal cloth, so that's where he set his focus.
Personality: Aside from his rather bright appearance, Tekro fits well with the Ko-matoran. He only speaks when spoken to, and he has never managed to keep up a good conversation for long. He is even known by many as a peacemaker. Underneath the facade of silence, however, is a well of emotion -- he loves being around people, and very few know that the main reason Tekro won't talk much is because he is actually not that good at it. Nothing has made Tekro nervous for years except the idea of just talking to any stranger for any extended period of time because he knows that before long, he will start stumbling over his words like a Muaka on a treadmill. He usually spends his time just thinking instead. Despite his withdrawn personality, he will not show fear when danger rears its head.
Weaknesses: Being one to end a fight before it begins, he isn't that great of a fighter, though quick he may be. Also, he is normally keen on his surroundings, but under stress, he immediately gains a "tunnel vision" of sorts -- he can become so focused on one objective that he will completely miss everything else going on around him. He may also have communication problems at times.
Biography: Despite his village's initial confidence, Tekro knew the Su-matoran could never last where they were with the neverending snowstorm continually growing stronger. The weird thing was that he was never one you'd expect to survive so easily, being known by everyone as a dreamer and, by some, a teddy bear. That side of him, however, crusted over with a somewhat dark demeanor as quickly as his friends deceased one by one alongside the disappearance of a close female Su-matoran friend named Sarie. Not that he could withstand the cold any more easily than others -- he hated the cold with every ounce of his being. He was just lucky. He was also alone.
Despite his dire upraising, he has grown to be one of the kindest and most generous matoran among the Ko-matoran villages. Being a rather mobile salesman, he has heard of rumors about their government and of how corruption within could habe caused the onslaught of ice. Tekro is not one to believe rumors, however, and he has even gained a heart for the Ko-matoran. Tekro always raised his ear for two certain rumors, though: one, the notion that some Su-matoran may still live somewhere in the island has never left the back of his mind. Two, the possibility that the ice could be eliminated always provided the hope that kept Tekro's heartlight beating. He would give anything to avenge the loss of nearly his entire village and destroy the source of the icy maelstrom.He currently runs a quiet life within Ko-metru and makes his living from selling his special thermal cloth in a local marketplace very close to the Senate House and to the few newcomers that appear. Tekro has always kept one eye out for any opportunity for adventure, however. He may be quiet, but an unquenchable fire has slowly built up within him through so many years of silence. And once he would find out that there may be a way to reverse the cold weather that killed his brothers, only his dead body would keep him from pursuing that end. His conscience, when it comes to it, may provide a different obstacle entirely.

On a side note, I whopped up my sprite sheet in case you'd need it. I have never looked so handsome.
Can't wait to see your comic, Katoris!
-
I wasn't expecting any of that. That was beautiful.
(Impressive work with the fire, too.)
XD very nice thumbs up keep it up
-Tahukan master of fire and lighting
Thank you! The fire turned out a bit more "cartoon"ish than I hoped, but it had the right effect.
Oh man that was awesome. But what's gonna happen now that the box is gone??
A box never dies... it is only missing in action.
Very nice! I love it, especially the background graphics in Tahukan's panel. In my pgs comic, Would it be too much to ask if cats are involved? SPAWN A BUNCH OF KITTEHS!
Kittens galore awaits!

I hope everyone likes freakishly nightmaresque spiderlike thingies, 'cause the next comic is now in the works.
EDIT: Also, updated sheet

Oooh, this looks fun. I likey.

I truly appreciate the compliments, guys! It makes comic-making all the more fun for me.
New comic! Unboxed
I'll also have the character sheet updated pretty soon.
-
I just hope Giggles doesn't try that with my coffee...
I don't know, I myself am rather notorious for sneaking coffee away. Aside from the tripping and spilling and all.
Anyway, thank you Giggles! And congrats to y'all as well... that was really fun! We should get more things like this going on in the comic forums again. But that's my wishful thinking.
I hopefully have my first comic out here over the weekend!

Heya Gav, I went back and read skimmed over most of the comics leading up to this one -- I have to say it's one of the most intriguing and thought-provoking series I've seen, even better than a lot of what I've read outside the comic realm. It's a shame I came back after so long to hear news of you retiring. It's been a while, but I will truly be sorry to see you go, especially after seeing your comics get even better. At the same time, I'm happy to know you are moving further on in life (no pun intended!). At least I caught you to see you put up a few more Dispensers before you headed out, my friend.
Well, now that I can say that I'm mostly caught up, I can also say that I'm really looking forward to how -- and in complete wonder to how -- this could end. I wonder what happens when space is torn in half...
-
Completely forgot 'bout this contest. I'll have to whip something up pretty quickly!

-
Ditto, Onaku -- this is just beautiful, and I'm loving everything you've got so far. I'm heartily looking forward to what's in store.
-
Welp, I failed to get a hand-drawn comic in, but I did manage to make THIS.
Aaaaand the award for laziest comic maker goes to... probably me

TBK has returned to Waffle Nui in search of his friends, who had so long since dispersed. To reunite everyone, his plan is to return to his comic studio and jumpstart the comics for one last go,
recruiting several new adventurers along the way. He has already found two members of his original cast -- Tektene and Dakonzar -- but now, in order to reach his true studio, he must enter a
maze that he was SUPPOSED to have remembered a route through. But he didn't. Where will they all land up in the end?
01 : Oh, Hobo There
03 : Huna Hula
04: Unboxed
05: A Scary Salutary
09: Cats Can't Read
12: Miscommunication
13: How Flattening
14: Brakes?

I return from a deep slumber of utter comic-less-ness to a contest?
Hallelujah.
I might put in a little something myself!
Great! Can't wait to read it!
Will it be hand-drawn? I saw your signature. lol
Either that, or maybe I'll resurrect some of my sprite sheets... I'm not quite sure, actually.Scratch that, I'm too lazy to find them. PENCIL TIME
(or whatever you call the little pen that goes with a tablet. It might be a pen.)

I'll go ahead and change it
I actually didn't mean so much to present the Su-matoran as being scarce as I did mean to present them as having one of the most difficult setbacks with the oncoming cold out of all the other villages.
And also, I was wondering the same as Garnira said above.
