Maru Nui This is my first time role-playing, but I believe I am familiar with this race. If you have objections, please, let me know, and have a basis for your complaints. If there is a list of available races I'd love to see it. (No sarcasm intended)
OK, this character has a timeline which coordinates somewhat with the LEGO Bioncle timeline. Most of his timeline comprises of him being in a hibernation canister under the ocean, but that does not mean he is a boring character. Several spots on this timeline I have decided should be devoted to various causes, such as the Dome, which is what the first use of this character will be.
The different profiles will be for the same character, but at different ages, wisdom and intelligence levels, power development, and stages of maturity. The below profiles are in chronological order. I'll start with only one, and add more as I need them.
---------------------------------------------------
This profile I'm going to use for the Dome.
Profile 1
Name: Maru
Age: Unknown+0
Race: Toa: An element controlling, weapon wielding, guardian of truth and justice. They cannot die by natural causes, however, they can die by starvation, dehydration, and being murdered. They are biomechanical creatures; a mixture of organic and mech.
Sex: Male
Hair: N/A
Eyes: Ice Blue
Weight: 200 pounds
Height: 6 ft 8 in.
Weapon: A pair of armored gauntlets, perfect for boxing. They have a line of short blades along the forearm. (I plan on having him trade these in for a much sweeter pair.)
Strengths:
He particularly powerful against ice creatures.
He's a good organizer.
He has a lot of undiscovered mental potential.
He has really long legs.
He has quick reflexes.
He has really good eyesight.
Weaknesses:
He can't swim.
He'll get clobbered by a water creature at about the same power level as him.
He's not the most tactical thinker.
He has a problem ignoring people when they try to annoy them. (should this go in personality?)
He can be severely weakened if his mask is removed.
Skills/Magic:
Skills:
His quick reflexes make him a good hand to hand fighter. He prefers a boxing style that includes taking advantage of his bladed gloves.
He can use a sword if necessary, but not very well.
He's a quick study.
He may not be very tactical, but he's not stupid.
He is very smart.
Magic:
He has the ability to absorb solar radiation through meditation. He, however loses this ability if his mask is removed. This energy can be used for various purposes such as: quick healing; magic regen; a burst of adrenaline; or increasing one of his stats by a small amount permanently. This power is used in charges which are filled by periods of meditation. It currently takes 5 hours for him to fill one charge and his current maximum charge count is 1. (stats concerning charges as well as the purposes for charges will be expanded as this character is developed)
He can create and manipulate fire. However, this skill has yet to be refined. Meaning he can conjure up a firestorm, but he can't light a match or weld a door.
Appearance: 
It's the pics of the red guy that are lit.
If this picture doesn't have enough detail, I apologize. Below is a detailed description of this character's colors.
Head Color: Dark red except for his eyes
Neck: Bright Orange and long (not so long it's bizarre)
Upper Torso: Dark red
Lower Torso: Yellow belt-like armor with an orange buckle
Thigh: Dark red armor
Shins and Calves: Dark red
Feet: Light red with dark red heels
Upper Arm: Light red with dark red shoulder plating and yellow bicep armor
Lower Arm: Orange with long, silver, armored gloves (details in weapon section)
Personality: Maru is shy and calm by nature, but once engaged in conversation can be a good friend. He's helpful and has a good heart. He can sometimes get a bit awkward when trying to think of something to say. Most of the time he stays separate from large groups, and with a group of friends will sit back and enjoy the conversation unless spoken to directly. He makes a loyal friend, sometimes to a fault. He worships Mata Nui, the Great Spirit. He will stick by his beliefs to the end. If given a duty he will fulfil it, even if it's done at the last second. He takes comments said about him way too seriously. He can be arrogant, but so rarely that your lucky to see him say he's smarter than someone else. He has his own sort of wisdom about him. He's not very good at holding a grudge. Overall he's a calm person, but has a wild and really weird side to him that comes out very rarely in public.
Biography:
150 thousand years before being deemed a veteran toa, Maru was nervous.
He had been waiting impatiently for several hours, wondering what would happen when the intercom called his name.
A green toa came over and sat next to him on the bench. "Hey, cheer up," he said, "this is an honor just being here!" Maru wondered whether that was true. He felt like he had been dragged into this.
Annoyed he wasn't getting an answer, he spoke up. "Just look how far you've come!"
That was true. Maru had come a long way from the worker he once was. He had started out as a simple worker waiting for the call of Artahka, a place where he would work in peace and light. A huge difference from where he had been currently been working. So, he had waited just like everyone else. The unmeasureable time eliminating all memories of where he had come from. Until the evacuation call came. When everyone was told to drop everything and leave immediately. In the confusion he hadn't felt the hand that had pulled him away from the crowd. He had then been led somewhere he didn't know existed. Then a pulse of brilliant light and energy had filled the room he was in, and when the light dimmed he found he had been transformed into something he didn't recognize, but knew it was much more than what he had been a minute before. He had then been told by a huge red and silver figure that what he now was was called a Toa, and that he was going to become more than he had ever thought possible. The figure then turned and left. Maru had followed cautiously. When he was led where they were going, he was told that he had been given amazing new power. He was also told was that he had 5 years to train himself in whatever way possible, and to meet back at where he currently was at the end of that time to determine what would happen to him next.
Now those 5 years were up, and he was waiting for his turn to be placed.
He looked up from the floor at a pretty blue toa he had been looking at every once in a while.
The green toa was still there and followed his gaze. "Got yourself a crush, huh?"
Now Maru just found him to be an annoyance. So, he got up and started walking away, the green toa following close behind. "Hey! Where ya goin'? I'm talking to you!"
Just then the intercom turned on. Every head in the room turned to listen. "Maru, Sheera, Pogon, Dogroq, Zyx, and Aeaku. Please, proceed into the next room."
Maru took a deep breath and started walking towards the door. When behind him he heard the green toa speak saying, "hey, that's me!"
Maru groaned inwardly.
When he reached the door, he stopped and wondered what would happen if he walked through that door, and if it was worth it. He nodded and started walking again when he figured that there wasn't anywhere else to go.
As Maru walked he thought about the 5 years he had spent training, and the many things he had done during that time. All of which had happened at the Dome.

If possible I'd like these profiles approved separately.
