    Hot Bionicle NewsSunday, December 21st, 2003 at 6:32pm by Kelly, BZPower Co-Owner
    [Source: LEGO]

    Now that we've introduced you to the city of Metru Nui and some of the storyline for 2004, we're pleased to present the cast of characters: Toa Metru and the Metruan. Click the images for larger versions.

    Metruan

    Click to enlarge 8610 Ahkmou
    Ahkmou is a builder and carver from Po-Metru, skilled at many things but master of none. He has always come in second to Onewa at everything, and has not forgotten all the times he has lost. Is he planning revenge on the Toa Metru of stone, and what role does a Great Disk play in his plot? Includes Kanoka disk Ahkmou can launch.
    Click to enlarge 8612 Ehrye
    Ehrye can always be found in Ko-Metru, running errands for the scholars in the great crystal Knowledge Towers. He hopes to be more someday, but Nuju believes he is too reckless to advance. Still, Ehrye has learned much from his work in Ko-Metru � will he use that knowledge, and a Great Disk, to bring down the Toa Metru and the city itself? Includes Kanoka disk Ehrye can launch.
    Click to enlarge 8607 Nuhrii
    Nuhrii is a skilled maskmaker and was Vakama's mentor at the forge. But when Vakama began to be famed for his skill at creating Kanohi masks, Nuhrii's resentment grew. Now he plots to find a Great Kanoka Disk and make the ultimate mask, regardless of the danger to Metru Nui! Includes Kanoka disk Nuhrii can launch.
    Click to enlarge 8611 Orkahm
    Orkahm is a chief Ussal rider in Le-Metru. Although he gets the job done, he is slow and methodical and he envies Matau's speed and quick wit. The Great Disk Orkahm discovered will lead him into a dark and dangerous plan that could mean the end of Metru Nui. Includes Kanoka disk Orkahm can launch.
    Click to enlarge 8609 Tehutti
    Tehutti is a veteran worker in the Onu-Metru Archives, who thinks of nothing but how to make the Archives more complete. Despite his hard work, he feels like he is not appreciated. But if he could find a Great Kanoka Disk, everyone would have to pay attention to him. Will he sacrifice the city to achieve his goal? Includes Kanoka Disk Tehutti can launch.
    Click to enlarge 8608 Vhisola
    Vhisola is a long-time friend of Toa Nokama and a talented athlete. But deep down, she knows that Nokama has always been better at everything than her, and her jealousy is growing. Will Vhisola betray all of Metru Nui to prove herself smarter than the Toa Metru of water? Includes Kanoka disk Vhisola can launch.

    Toa Metru

    Click to enlarge Toa Matau
    Toa of air and guardian of Le-metru. Toa Matau has a "highlying" attitude toward life. He is full of fun, impulsive, headstrong, and believes that he is as smart as Toa Vakama and should be leader of the Toa. His sense of humor keeps the Toa smiling even in the face of danger, but his recklessness often leads to trouble. Still, his instincts are second to none, and even those who don't get along with him admit that his hunches are often good. He will risk anything to protect the Matoran of Le-metru.

    Click to enlarge Toa Nokama
    Toa of water and guardian of Ga-metru. Toa Nokama is respected by all for her ability to use logic to resolve disputes. She could be a strong leader herself, but prefers to support Toa Vakama, for she believes in his courage and the power of his visions. Toa Nokama can often be found in the sea of protodermis, using her twin tools to swim through it at amazing speed.

    Click to enlarge Toa Nuju
    Toa of ice and guardian of Ko-metru. To others, Toa Nuju might seem aloof and unfriendly � his task of guarding the knowledge and memory crystals of Metru Nui is a lonely one and he has never been skilled at showing his feelings. But Toa Nuju believes strongly that success comes from working together and he is willing to respect Toa Vakama's leadership. Toa Nuju is a seer with great experience at interpreting omens of the future � and he has little patience with people like Toa Matau, who only want to think about today.

    Click to enlarge Toa Onewa
    Toa of stone and guardian of Po-metru. Toa Onewa is firm and strong willed, and he has little time for worries about the past or predictions of the future. His experience at scaling the buildings of Po-metru makes him one of the most agile Toa. Like Toa Matau, Toa Onewa tends to act first and question later, but the two are not close friends (mainly because Toa Onewa has little sense of humor). Toa Onewa's strongest trait is his absolute refusal to consider the possibility of defeat � he will always find a way to win.

    Click to enlarge Toa Vakama
    Toa of fire and guardian of Ta-metru. Toa Vakama was once one of the top maskmaskers in the foundries of Ta-metru, and now he protects the Matoran who labor there. He is a natural leader, wise beyond his years, and believes he knows what it takes to be a hero. Toa Vakama has strange visions of the future, something he tries to hide from his friends. It is only later that he will discover that those visions are key to his fulfilling his duty to the city and its people. His tool is a great disk launcher.

    Click to enlarge Toa Whenua
    Toa of earth and guardian of Onu-metru. Toa Whenua has a love for the history of Metru Nui and wishes to learn all he can about it. He is not as bold or confident as the other Toa, but his caution often saves others from harm. He is known for his fairness and good judgement, but is not comfortable with Toa Nuju or Toa Vakama because of their desire to look into the future.
