Noka is a Po-Matoran painter and former member of the Sentinels.

Biography

Pre-RPG

Noka's grandfather, Kutsan was a bitter and possessive old man, who kept the fate of her parents from her. Ostensibly, this was to protect her from some great threat, but in reality it would appear that it was just a small grain of sand in the desert of manipulative behaviours he demonstrated. He raised her on a small Mahi farm in Po-Wahi, miles from civilisation.

Essentially as long as she could walk she would make trips to Po-Koro for trading on behalf of her grandfather, and often used these opportunities to explore her own pursuits, selling the paintings she was secretly making.

Eventually, he discovered this and, as punishment, signed her up for the Po-Koro Guard. At some point after this, she met Kuhrin, then a member of the Ta-Koro Guard, and the two developed a close romantic bond, expressed mostly through letters.

After Kuhrin's mind became corrupted by Makuta's disease, communication became much more infrequent between the two, until it ceased completely after the Battle of Kini-Nui. Kuhrin subsequently vanished, to later resurface as a Toa of Sonics and servant of Makuta.

For the next 100 years, Noka was split between her duties as a member of the Po-Koro Guard, and her 'duty' to her grandfather.

Arc 1

She continued serving as a member of the Guard as it became the Sentinels, and was present during both the Rahkshi attacks on the village and the wedding of Tillian and Emotia.

Arc 2

Noka was eventually tracked down by Khervos the Private Eye. He informed her that Kuhrin was now both a Toa and servant of Makuta, and asked for her assistance. Kutsan intervened and became violently enraged, assaulting her, before dying from a heart attack. Filled with conflicting emotions, she buried him before heading off with Khervos and Tuli to Ko-Wahi.

Once there, the three Matoran rendezvoused with Toa Ferron, and plans were made to seek out Kuhrin in the mountains. After a short journey, the group met the villain in the snow, and despite Noka's attempt at a peaceful resolution, conflict ensued. In the struggle, Kuhrin's brother Desuka was killed, and Kuhrin rendered maskless. Ferron's mercy proved to cause a moment of clarity for Kuhrin, seemingly dispelling Makuta's dark power over him.

Noka and Kuhrin parted ways with the others, and headed off to begin a new life in Le-Wahi.

While Wotz Was Away

However, this happily-ever-after was a pipe dream, as Kuhrin's heinous murders were impossible for Noka to forgive. She left him and returned to Po-Koro, where she has lived in the years since, trying to take care of herself and put her traumatic past behind her.

Abilities and Traits

Noka is a competent, experienced and well-trained fighter with a long career behind her. She also possesses the inherent increased strength due to her Po-Matoran blood.

She is talented in many art forms, primarily painting.

Relationships

Friends and Allies

Enemies

The Makuta and all who serve it

-==History==
+Noka is a Po-Matoran painter and former member of the Sentinels.
-===Early Life===
-Noka never knew her parents, and it remains a mystery as to what happened to them. Any attempt to find out was met with a prompt scolding from her grandfather, Turaga Kutsan, who brought her up from a very young age, enforcing his strict discipline with an iron fist.
-As an adolescent, Noka began to develop a lack of self-confidence due to the abuse from her grandfather. Noticing this, Kutsan tried to sign her up for the Guard, as he thought it would cure any of her 'weak' emotions. This involuntary push over a black abyss merely served to push her emotional struggles along, however, and her lack of confidence developed into more of a self-hatred. Seeing this, Noka quit the Guard.
+==Biography==
-===Kuhrin===
+===Pre-RPG===
-Having not told her grandfather she had quit, Noka saw this as an opportunity to take up hobbies such as painting and dancing. It was while at dance practice in Ta-Koro that she began to regularly encounter Kuhrin, who came to watch her class practise outside in his free time. Kuhrin and Noka developed a close bond, and eventually began to fall in love.
+Noka's grandfather, Kutsan was a bitter and possessive old man, who kept the fate of her parents from her. Ostensibly, this was to protect her from some great threat, but in reality it would appear that it was just a small grain of sand in the desert of manipulative behaviours he demonstrated. He raised her on a small [[Mahi]] farm in [[Po-Wahi]], miles from civilisation.
-However, when Kuhrin caught a Makuta-induced infection, he grew volatile and short-tempered, pushing Noka and his friends away and joining the Ta-Koro Guard. Noka, not willing to give up on him, re-joined the Po-Koro Guard in an effort to continue seeing him, but his infection became stronger and stronger over time, driving him to hate her.
+Essentially as long as she could walk she would make trips to [[Po-Koro]] for trading on behalf of her grandfather, and often used these opportunities to explore her own pursuits, selling the paintings she was secretly making.
-===Trakuda===
-While at home, Noka and Kutsan's hut was visited by a travelling Trakuda, shortly prior to the battle of Kini-Nui. Lost and dehydrated, he was allowed to stay for the night on the condition that he would leave before midday the following day. Noka and Trakuda became fast friends, and he promised to come back for her one day to take her with him on his adventures. Due to the battle several days later, Trakuda never returned.
-===Aftermath of Kini-Nui===
-The Po-Koro Guard not having been at Kini-Nui, Noka was only informed of what had happened by a short letter from Kuhrin, detailing the events of the battle and the loss of Traxin. Kuhrin broke contact with her after this, and vanished.
-Her self-hatred redoubled, Noka quit her dance class, and began selling her paintings. Kutsan beat into her the belief that the paintings were worthless, but allowed her to sell them nonetheless as it made a small profit.
+Eventually, he discovered this and, as punishment, signed her up for the [[Po-Koro Guard]]. At some point after this, she met [[Kuhrin]], then a member of the [[Ta-Koro Guard (BZPRPG III)|Ta-Koro Guard]], and the two developed a close romantic bond, expressed mostly through letters.
-===With the Guard===
-Noka attended Tillian's wedding and helped defend the village against Rahkshi (twice), among other Po-Koro Guard-related events. Her involvement with the Guard began to decrease after they became the Sentinels, as her Grandfather was growing older and needed her assistance at home more.
-===The Hunt for Kuhrin===
-Noka was eventually tracked down by Khervos the Private Eye, who was searching for leads on Kuhrin. He informed her of Kuhrin's present status as an evil Toa of Sonics, and asked for her assistance. Before an agreement could be reached, however, Kutsan entered and attacked Noka for letting someone into the house without his permission. Noka and Khervos managed to escape. Noka attempted to return and stand up to her grandfather, only to find him dead. Swallowed by grief, Noka buried him before heading off with Khervos and his girlfriend, Tuli, to Ko-Koro.
-In Ko-Koro, the three Matoran rendezvoused with Ferron, and plans were made to seek out Kuhrin in the mountains. After a short journey, the group met Kuhrin in the snow, and despite Noka's attempt at a peaceful resolution, conflict ensued. In the struggle, Desuka was killed, and Kuhrin rendered maskless. Ferron chose to spare his enemy's life, causing Kuhrin to experience a moment of clarity. He realised that his love for Noka could never coexist with his Makuta-driven lust for suffering.
+After [[Kuhrin]]'s mind became corrupted by [[Makuta]]'s disease, communication became much more infrequent between the two, until it ceased completely after the [[Battle of Kini-Nui]]. Kuhrin subsequently vanished, to later resurface as a [[Toa]] of [[Sonics]] and servant of [[Makuta]].
-Noka and Kuhrin parted ways with the others, and headed off to begin a new life in Le-Wahi.
+For the next 100 years, Noka was split between her duties as a member of the [[Po-Koro Guard]], and her 'duty' to her grandfather.
