Icarax

“	I believe in certainties. The strength of my limbs, the power of my mask, the sharp edges of my blades — that is what I build my plans around. Trickery, deception, complex strategies, they are for the weak! If you want power, and another has it, you get it not by outwitting him — you get it by stepping over his corpse.	„
	~ Icarax

Summary

Like the rest of his kind, Icarax was created from Antidermis by Mata Nui as a member of the Brotherhood of Makuta, an organization dedicated to protecting the Matoran Universe and filling it with life in the form of the Rahi. Like his fellows, he was always instilled with a deep arrogance and ambition.

When Teridax shared his plan to overthrow Mata Nui, Icarax sided with him, along with most of the other Makuta. However, he ended up losing faith in Teridax’s leadership after his failures, and decided to take over the Matoran Universe through nothing but his own might. This lead to a confrontation with Teridax, in which the two of them fought for hours, culminating in Icarax’s defeat. Teridax spared him, however, for the role he’d have in his future plans, and because he found him amusing.

While he may support Teridax and do as he commands, Icarax still yearns for the moment when he can defeat his “leader” and take his place.

Standard Equipment: His Rotating Shadow Blades and Twin Sword, along various other things.

• Mask of Scavenging: Icarax’s original mask, which allowed him to drain any residual life energy from fresh corpses nearby, making him stronger.
• Kraahkan: The Great Mask of Shadows, the only one of its kind. While originally the property of Teridax, it eventually came into Icarax’s possession. It grants Icarax control over elemental shadow over great distances, and it also allows him to see the darkness in the hearts of others. If any non-Makuta being attempts to touch it, it violently attacks them.
• Tridax Pod: A sphere-shaped container with Shadow Leeches inside. Shadow Leeches, on contact with other beings, drain them of their inner light, tainting them with evil.

Intelligence: Icarax possesses the sharp intellect of his kind and is highly skilled in strategy and combat, being the most skilled of all Makuta when it comes to melee combat. However, he dislikes long-term planning, finding it far too convoluted, and prefers to simply brutally kill anyone who opposes him.

Weaknesses: Icarax is extremely arrogant and is vulnerable to light. He can only use one of the Kraata powers at a time. In his Antidermis form, he can only access his mental powers, is weaker than normal, and needs a body to contain his essence so he doesn’t dissipate.

Notable Attacks / Techniques

Makuta: Icarax is one of the Makuta, a powerful race of hundred beings created at the beginning of the Matoran Universe by Mata Nui. Although once a biomechanical being, Icarax has evolved past a physical body like the rest of his kind, taking on a form of pure Antidermis, though he requires a body to fully utilize his power and prevent his essence from drifting apart.

• Antidermis: Icarax’s true form is Antidermis, in the form of gaseous energy and contained within his armor. Due to his energy-based body, Icarax does not need to eat, drink, sleep, or breathe. If his physical body is destroyed or severely damaged, Icarax can leave it in his Antidermis form. In this form, he is much weaker, and cannot use his body-based powers, only his mind-based ones. He can possess others, though he cannot possess bodies that are already occupied. If he doesn’t get a body or container to contain his essence within two weeks, he will dissipate and die.
• Kraata Creation: Icarax can create Kraata, slug-like shadow beings born from his own body. While Kraata by themselves are weak, they can be used to create and power the Rahkshi, the destructive "sons" of the Makuta. There are forty-two variants of Kraata, and thus forty-two variants of Rahkshi, each possessing a unique power of the Makuta.
• Shadow: Icarax has control over the element of Shadow, allowing him to control and manipulate darkness. He can cast areas in deep shadows, and his Shadows are particularly strong against Light. Shadow can be used to cut off both Heat and Light.
  • Shadow Hand: By extending a hand of Shadow from his chest, which he can also channel through tools, Icarax can pull others into his body and absorb them, breaking them down into energy. To prevent danger to himself, Icarax must overpower their will as soon as possible.
• Shapeshifting: Makuta are shapeshifters, able to change their forms as they please. Icarax can assume the appearances of others, and can grow new limbs and features, such as wings. By absorbing other beings, they can use the energy they gain through this to gain further mass and grow larger.
• Telepathy: All Makuta are telepaths, and Icarax is no different. He can easily read and manipulate even the minds of Toa, and is capable of subtly guiding his opponents without them even being aware.
• Virus Creation: Icarax can create energy-based viruses from Protodermis, the material that makes up all things in the Matoran Universe. These viruses do not affect purely organic beings, but are very effective on even any partly mechanical organisms. These viruses are instrumental in the creation of Rahi.

Kraata Powers: As with most Makuta, Icarax possesses all forty-two of the powers used by the forty-two variants of Kraata and, thus, Rahkshi. Some of these powers are already provided otherwise due to his nature as a Makuta, such as shapeshifting and mind reading. He can only have one of these powers active at a time, but he can easily and rapidly switch between them.

• Accuracy: Regardless of the environment and its condition, or the distance of its target and its size, Icarax can strike with pinpoint accuracy.
• Adaptation: Icarax can instantly adapt in any situation so as to gain any advantage possible.
• Anger: Icarax can easily turn even the closest allies against each other by filling their hearts with uncontrollable rage, making it difficult for them to see reason. Even the slightest differences in opinion lead to fights when this ability is active.
• Chain Lightning: Icarax can control powerful bolts of lightning that jump between multiple targets.
• Chameleon: By blending into his environment, Icarax can become essentially invisible.
• Confusion: Icarax can form an aura that can reduce even the Toa Nuva to mindless fools.
• Cyclone: Like a Toa of Air, Icarax can manipulate the wind to form powerful gale-force winds, tornadoes, and cyclones.
• Darkness: Icarax can absorb all the light in an area, snuffing out even the smallest flames and leaving nothing but pure darkness.
• Density Control: Icarax has absolute control over his own density, allowing him to make himself as hard as Protosteel, decrease his density to increase his agility, or even render himself temporarily intangible, allowing him to phase through matter. He can manipulate the density of others as long as he can make contact, as well. Objects and beings that are rendered intangible for long enough will cease to exist.
• Disintegration: With ease, Icarax can reduce even the most durable of objects to dust, breaking down their molecular structure.
• Dodge: Through this ability, striking Icarax becomes even more difficult, as he gains the ability to dodge even the swiftest of attacks.
• Elasticity: Icarax can stretch his body to great lengths with ease, and can make himself flexible and elastic enough to simply snap back from physical blows and stretch around blades.
• Electricity: Icarax can surround himself with an electric field, which he can manipulate to make forcefields and electrocute his opponents.
• Fear: Those in Icarax’s presence are assaulted by a petrifying fear that can reach the hearts of even the great Toa Nuva, rendering them too horrified to fight back.
• Fire Resistance: Icarax can survive in the deepest reaches of a volcano and bathe in magma without being harmed in the slightest.
• Gravity: Icarax can manipulate gravity to lift and move around objects and opponents, or crush them with intense gravitational forces.
• Heat Vision: Icarax can project long-range, high-power beams of heat from his eyes to ignite anything within his vision.
• Hunger: With but a touch, Icarax can drain all the strength of an opponent and take it for himself.
• Ice Resistance: Icarax can survive long periods of time spent frozen solid without harm.
• Illusion: Icarax can shape complex, realistic, and long-term illusions to haunt and immobilize his foes.
• Insect Control: Icarax can summon and control insects from across the Matoran Universe to serve and protect him, even entire hives of great, powerful insects.
• Invulnerability: This power greatly increases Icarax’s resilience, granting him resistance to the powerful elemental attacks of Toa and making physical attacks almost useless.
• Laser Vision: Icarax can fire high-power concentrated laser beams from his eyes.
• Magnetism: Icarax can use magnetism to manipulate metals from his surroundings, shaping them into weapons and armor, or reducing them to an unrecognizable scrap.
• Mind Reading: Icarax can invade the minds of the strongest Toa and Turaga and read their minds as if they were open books, allowing him to react to attacks before they occur.
• Molecular Disruption: Icarax can completely disintegrate any inorganic object with a touch, and can form disruption fields that eat away at his surroundings.
• Plant Control: All the plants in Icarax’s surroundings bow to his will, allowing him to grow and use them as he pleases. He can form toxic, poisonous thorns, and creepers that rapidly grow and ensnare his opponents.
• Plasma: Icarax can fire superheated plasma to vaporize objects with ease, and can superheat the same objects on contact. He can also form solid constructs out of plasma.
• Poison: Icarax’s presence alone is toxic, poisoning his surroundings, even the soil, preventing plants from growing and making his opponents severely ill.
• Power Scream: Icarax can release a high-power scream that can be heard all across the island of Mata Nui, with enough power to shatter stone and deafen his opponents.
• Quick Healing: Icarax heals from wounds at a rapid rate, even serious ones, and can heal others just the same.
• Rahi Control: Icarax can control all the Rahi, the biomechanical lifeforms that make up the Matoran Universe’s wildlife.
• Shapeshifting: Icarax has complete control over his body’s shape, though he must absorb other beings to increase his mass.
• Shattering: Icarax can create high-power explosions on contact and from a distance.
• Silence: Icarax can surround himself with an aura of silence that absorbs all sound, deafening his opponents. He can even absorb sound with a touch.
• Sleep: Icarax can immediately induce a deep sleep in his opponents.
• Slowness: With his presence, Icarax can slow down his opponents, even completely stopping all movement in an area if he so wishes.
• Sonics: Icarax can manipulate and produce intense sound waves capable of shaking objects apart and disrupting their molecular structure.
• Stasis Field: By making eye contact with an opponent, Icarax can trap them nigh-indefinitely in a stasis field.
• Teleportation: Icarax can easily teleport great distances, to places he cannot see.
• Vacuum: Icarax can manipulate vacuums to absorb air, to pull and push himself or his opponents around, to tear them apart with great concussive force, or to suffocate them.
• Weather Control: At will, Icarax can cause great rainstorms, thunderstorms and blizzards, or drape himself in a heavy fog.
