Biography
Pre-BZPRPG
Henkka has a rich past. Click here for a more detailed biography of events before the BZPRPG.
Before Henkka and Alex altered time, the timeline was a very different one. In it Henkka started out as a Matoran, who had been created by Mata Nui to keep order in his universe. Henkka strayed from this path, but through a series of adventures and transformations with his friend, Tapio, Henkka found his destiny and began serving Mata Nui again. During a great confrontation with his arch enemy, Alex, the two were thrown at the Mask of Time which shattered, fusing both Henkka and Alex with the fabric of time, sending them on separate time travelling journeys.
BZPRPG 2011
After spending a long time travelling between different time periods to correct past mistakes in history and do good, Henkka eventually ended up on a version of the island of Mata Nui and came to possess the body of Lohkare. He met Alex, who was possessing Maa, during this adventure and fought with the being, only to be transported to yet another time period, this time at the same time with Alex, altering the timeline of the BZPRPG 2011 into the 2012 one.
Arc 1
Henkka possessed Voi and Alex did so to Syyge upon their arrival. The two formed an alliance briefly to uncover the mysteries of their time travelling. They worked together with a Toa of Iron named Stronin and journeyed across the island in search for their true nature. In the end, they did battle for the last time. Alex was killed off by Stronin and Henkka gained the full power of time for himself, giving him the ability to control his travels in the future. After saying his goodbyes to Stronin, Henkka teleported away to shape time to the way it's supposed to be.
Personality and Traits
Although Henkka is an ultimate good-doer, he had his own stray path in the past, revealing many of his negative properties. Those experiences helped to make him a more virtuous protector of Mata Nui's will and remains pure at heart.
Time-travelling traits
After smashing the Kanohi Vahi by accident, Henkka was fused to the fabric of time along with Alex. Henkka was sent on an uncontrollable time-travelling journey across different periods of the timeline of the Bionicle main universe. His journey followed a pattern, in which he had to perform some specific good deed in order to be automatically transported to a new time and place. Henkka could only act through the bodies of others since he lost his own form when breaking the Vahi. Henkka had no control over where he would end and who he possessed. Instead, he had to adapt to each situation.
After the Battle of Henkka and Alex, after Alex was killed, Henkka gained control over his own time travels.
