(Name: Toa Hinga

Gender: Female

Powers: As a Toa of Water, Hinga has the ability to create, control, and absorb water. Her Mask of Refinement allows her to fine-tune her control over water to an extended degree that she wouldn't normally have.

Other: Hinga is a blue and light blue seven foot tall biomechanical being, which is around the average height for a Toa like herself. As a natural element of a Matoran turning into a Toa, Hinga resembles her own mental image of a Toa back when she found a Toa Stone and became a Toa - a slim, noble figure, capable of defending the innocent. She wears a brown cloak with a hood. A rather cool and reasonable figure, Hinga's able to keep her calm even in the most dire of situations and get her team's act together when half of them are panicking. She respects the differences in combat experience and skill her teammates have and puts them to where they're best used, even turning to her teammates for advice at times. However, she's not without her flaws: Hinga tends to put herself on a high pedestal, trying to stay cool and keep things under control because she's the leader, she can't crack or the whole team could fall apart; and she is rather deeply attached to her teammates, caring more about them than herself - and she'd be emotionally devastated if anything happened to them.

Name: Toa Fereain

Gender: Male

Powers: As a Toa of Fire, Fereain has the ability to create, control, and absorb fire, although he can noticeably create more, control more, and absorb more than other Toa of Fire due to the circumstances under which he became a Toa. This power is also more unstable than other Toa of Fire, and has a tendency to spike under moments of extreme emotional distress with explosive results. He also has a high heat tolerance. His Mask of Endurance allows his body to take hits it otherwise wouldn't, although he's still capable of feeling the pain from these hits. He also has a Flame Sword of his own design that he can channel his elemental power through, and is only ever extinguished when he wills it.

Other: A seven and a half feet tall red and orange Toa. Due to the unusual circumstances in which he became a Toa, Fereain did not end up adopting his image of a Toa, instead looking more like a muscular warrior prepared for combat, with orange glowing lines running down his body. He also has a hilt clipped to his hip when not in use which can shoot out a jet of flame that will not go out unless he wills it - in essence, a sword of flame. Fereain seems rather laid-back and joking, but while he is to some extent, this behavior serves to hide his self-doubt - he's one of the least experienced of the Toa Kateman, after all; his default strategy before was "point hands towards threat and shoot fire until they go away." As a result of this, he tends to be a bit more fearful of the threats he and his teammates face, because after all, if they're incapacitated...what can he possibly do? However, when he puts his self-doubt aside - whether it be in the forge or in combat- Fereain is far more confident, and proves to be quite skilled at what he does.

Name: Toa Boyk

Gender: Female

Powers: As a Toa of Psionics, Boyk has the power of telekinesis, along with the ability to interact with other minds and manipulate them. She also has natural mental shielding. Her Mask of Body allows her to reduce her own Psionics abilities to a minimum in exchange for increasing her strength and speed to high levels - although neither one to the levels she would get if she were wearing a Pakari or a Kakama. She carries a Protosteel sword and a Protosteel gauntlet.

Other: A seven foot tall royal blue and gold Toa. Boyk resembles the Toa she looked up to, being built more like a bodybuilder than anything else. She wears a gauntlet made of Protosteel, which she typically uses when she enhances her strength with her Mask of Body. While initially a rather frustrated and angry individual, in time, Boyk has become far more calm and reasonable...but her firey temper still lingers, and may Mata Nui and the Great Beings help you if you manage to fan the flames. She also happens to be one of the more social of the Toa Kateman, and is rather athletic, usually being found running or lifting whatever she can find when the team is resting.

Name: Toa Lierin

Gender: Male

Powers: As a Toa of Stone, Lierin has the ability to control stone. His Mask of Power Amplification allows him to significantly enhance the output of his powers (what would normally just be throwing a pebble becomes throwing a rock the size of someone's torso) for five minutes, after which it has to recharge for twenty minutes. He wields a seismic pickaxe - a giant, Protosteel pickaxe the size of his body that is also designed to act as a jackhammer.

Other: A seven foot tall brown and tan Toa. Lierin resembles the warped view of Toa he had when he found a Toa Stone wishing for vengeance against the Makuta - a slim, yet muscular rogue capable of taking down a Makuta in a fight, something that Lierin now recognizes is usually impossible without a lot of set-up. He carries a Seismic Pickaxe nearly the size of his own body, usually slung over his back if he's not using it. The designated deadpan snarker and strategist, Lierin is sarcastic, witty, and of all the Kateman, tends to be the one who challenges Hinga the most, which is one of the reasons why Hinga made him second in command. However, unlike, say, Hinga or Korati, his method of getting the team together is less "calm down everything's going to be fine" and more "we have a job to do so quit it." He also tends to be the more nihilistic of the Toa Kateman, not afraid to make a sarcastic remark about their chances of success when he feels the odds are against them - not that he's not willing to give it a try, mind you. He's not that nihilistic; he's just realistic.

Name: Toa Korati

Gender: Female

Powers: As a Toa of Lightning, Korati can create, control, and absorb lightning. Her Mask of Animation allows her to bring inanimate objects to life - although there is a limit based on the size of the object(s) and how many objects there are. She wields what she dubs the Lightning Rod, a Protosteel staff capable of channeling her elemental power that can also split into two batons, the handle of the staff becoming prongs at the end of each that allow Korati to use more refined blasts.

Other: A blue and white seven foot tall Toa. Her appearance isn't exactly based on her image of a Toa, as Korati didn't really have much of an image, but rather the people she looked up to - mainly, her teachers. As a result, she takes influence from the more curvy form of a female Vortixx. She has a long Protosteel staff that, with the proper shock applied, splits in two "lightning rods" for Korati to conduct electricity through. A rather chipper gal, Korati is the social butterfly of the Kateman, easily able to brighten up the team's mood - including Lierin, which is an accomplishment even he's willing to acknowledge. And her passion...her passion is something to behold, because she will pour herself into her work, and it'll show in the end result. That being said, she also happens to be rather sensitive, resulting in her being scared more easily. She's also the least experienced of the Kateman, and as a result can feel out of her element at times.

Name: Toa Katea

Gender: Male

Powers: As a Toa of Earth, Katea is capable of controlling the earth - and also gemstones. His Mask of Seismic Sense allows him to feel seismic vibrations, acting like a second sense of sight. Katea also has a Protosteel prothstetic arm in place of his right one, which, besides serving as an arm and hand, can also be a drill, place mining explosives, and form a large dome to shield both Katea and anyone else under it.

Other: A black and silver eight foot tall Toa. His appearance reflects how he saw Toa when he first picked up a Toa stone - tall, rugged adventurers...a far cry from his now reserved and non-confrontive personality. His right arm is now replaced with a mechanical prosthetic, capable of turning into a drill, launching mining explosives, and having a dome-like shield expand outwards from it. Katea is rather cautious and mild-mannered - a once reckless youth humbled by reality. He generally tends to take a more supportive role rather than a combative one. However, Katea can hold his own in a fight if he has to, and he is far from a doormat, standing firm in what he believes is the right decision. This firmness, however, can lead to him being rather stubborn, and although he's usually rather concerned about his teammates, he doesn't usually bring up his concerns at all.)
