Bode

A Matoran of Sonics who made a pact with Ulkarr, gaining a Kraata of Plantlife.

Rebirth
Bode was a simple soul who survived the Impact. Settling in Po-Koro, he was one of the survivors of the Skakdi raid. He was traumatized and desperate to help his people survive, and overheard the Toa Arkius talking to Ulkarr of the Ritual of Desecration. Desperate for the power to protect his people, and able to justify the sacrifice to himself, he approached Ulkarr and agreed to make a pact.

The De-Matoran went to sacrifice a dying friend, one in agony. He hesitated, but she grabbed the knife and stabbed herself. Bode was horrified, but neither tried to save her, pull free the knife, or stop. He splattered himself with her gore as he carved out her heartlight, before shakily returning to Ulkarr and vomiting,

The sacrifice of the heartlight gave him a Stage One Kraata of plantlife, allowing him to sprout weeds with each step. He shambled away, the realization of what he had done overwhelming him. His memory began to distort as fact blended in with guilt, confusing his reality.

The villagers of Po-Koro soon realized what he had done, but his power kept him alive. Not directly, but his shambling paces had sprouted a field of weeds, which had attracted Mahi. The goats could give food, milk, leather, and tools, giving Po-Koro more resources. The weeds were disgusting to touch, but they were not poisonous, and could be stripped into fibers to make tools. Murderer or not, Bode was useful.

The Matoran assigned Varah to monitor him, and he stayed in his field with the Mahi. As he stayed there he overheard that Kanohi had experienced visions, and reported it to Ulkarr. Ulkarr confirmed the validity of at least one vision, requesting Bode monitor the Fe-Matoran.
