People… They just don’t know how to save themselves.
They tell you to fix things, but won’t let you do what’s necessary…
So you try and try and try to do it “right”.
But they know as well as you…

Wykura, Toa of Rust (long bio incoming ;))
Wykura was one member of an unprecedented Toa team that arrived in the ancient city before the Great Cataclysm. She, along with a number of other elemental warriors appeared on Okoto long before Ekimu deciphered the prophecy, and thus were received as uninvited guests to Okotian society. Similarly unaware of their identities and origin to today’s heroes, they struggled to find a place- acting as guards and keepers of the peace until Makuta’s fall. Afterwards, the team split up and went its separate ways. Wykura is among the few remnants of their existence, and her identity speaks volumes of their dissolution.
Long ago, she was just another proud hero, striving to do the best without murdering her foes. After Makuta’s fall, she acted as a vigilante, hopping from village to village in the effort to solve as many problems as she could. As time went by, however, the island’s troubles only worsened, and Makuta’s corruption extended. Key figures fell under his influence, and Wykura found herself fighting many of her former friends. The bastion of her sanity, however, held out… That is, until she was forced to slaughter one of her former teammates. After that, she faltered. Gave in- She came to believe that the only way to end the suffering of the innocent was to kill the guilty.
Henceforth, her life became a scattered mess. She would kill without remorse and attempt to teach others to others do the same. At one point, she was nearly killed in a fight with Kulta’s minions… Fortunately for her, she found and donned one of the necromancer’s masks of undeath. The mask drastically weakened her control over her element, but kept her alive. To this day, she roams Okoto on her righteously flawed quest to stop Evil.
Wykura’s powers were once extensive control over the decay of non-organic substances. Now, however, she requires physical contact to channel them. She does so through her toa tool- Nunchucks. Such blunt force weapons aren’t generally viable in combat with biomechs, but seeing as a strike from her would rot away most armor, they become effective and deadly.
With her unlikely vigilante pal, Skull Slicer
Obligatory back shot. Sorry for the blurr
Sisters no more.
Thank you for scrolling through!
This is very much a “v1”, so I’d really like to hear some feedback. Comments, criticism, even complements(you know, so that I know what I did right) are all welcome.
Not seen that piece much. Good work!
