"The world isn't as pretty as some people want to make it out to be. I'm just the girl who points that out from time to time."

―Vaturi ^[src]

Vaturi is a heavily mutated Crynok and member of the Vindicators from the Altronia Continuity.

Biography[]

Vaturi came into existence on Rayuna, as do all Crynok. She eventually became a member of the island militia and found herself working under Panuko.

For some reason, she became a renegade. Panuko, Buraka, and Levuku went to Crystal Island to track her down.

Apparently at some point she joined the Avenging Alliance. She fought alongside them in several endeavors.

When the team was captured by Rayzok, she defected, since she had lost her moral sense of direction. She was immediately given "upgrades" in for form of aa virus that repressed much of her organic matter and suppressed her natural elemental powers, as well as a Mask of Adaptation, which she accepted, despite failing to discover its function. The virus also caused her to grow two extra arms, which she was perfectly fine with, and also changed her color from black to dark blue. She was often partnered with an insane Zartok, which was a little aggravating to say the least.

Vaturi was destroyed in a battle with Choro, but Burtok rebuilt her head and torso and dumped her in a Rahi creation vat to rebalance her organic tissue and keep her from questioning him. The result was that she was greatly "uglied up" and gained elastic blades fused to her hands. She tried to take revenge on Burtok, but he beat her with ease. By this time, Vaturi had realized the error of her ways and returned to her old team to fight Burtok once more. She was present when Burtok was sent into a dimensional junction and traveled to Altronia with her team.

On Altronia, her mask activated, her arms turning into bladed wings, allowing her to fly like a bat. She was sent on a scouting mission to Metru Nui, finding it in the process of becoming a fort. She was also sent with Suntrah, the enslaved Burtok, Bultrox, and Bartha to Cekadax's Fortress to scout it. While there, the group was abandoned by Burtok, who had recently regained his full power and left to join Cekadax against the Order of Altronia. The scouting party decided to leave at that time.

Vaturi participated in the retaliation against Cekadax's assault on Altronia Fortress, but experienced intense pain while doing so. She eventually collapsed and was swarmed by mercenaries, but emerged in a flash of furious attacks with a new form once more, her mask having activated again, but Vaturi herself attributing the change to ongoing mutation. She used her new form and its multiple blade-wielding arms to fight back against the mercenaries. She thus assisted the Order in driving Cekadax's forces back.

Vaturi was also present in the battle against Rularx at Burtok's Fortress after the other Makuta took it over. Vaturi, her teammates, and the Universal Alliance were challenged by Rularx, who assessed their battle worth before teleporting them into his fortress and pitting them against the Revolutionaries. The heroes were victorious, to which Rularx responded by capturing them in energy fields in his control room. There he revealed himself to be their archnemesis, and vice-versa. He then left to activate a giant Time Dilation Accelerator, which gave the heroes the opportunity to escape. Zallirix went to disrupt the Accelerator, which the heroes did not discover until he was already done, and thus bought them time to escape and foiled Rularx's plans in one move. The heroes were led out by Ikirro and his new comrades, but when Lohrua was drawn into a growing dimensional rift caused by the malfunctioning Accelerator, his team followed him into the rift to join him in whatever adventures lay beyond.

Personality[]

Vaturi is concerned, first and foremost, with doing what feels right to her. Combined with her natural cunning and lack of a trusting nature, this makes her volatile and abrasive, but adaptable and crafty. While not sociopathic, she tends to be ready to break ties with other beings if she has reason to, rather than confront them and deal with whatever issues she may have. Her sarcastic demeanor keeps social ties to a minimum so she is less affected by cutting said ties, whenever she chooses to do so. Even given that she is driven by what feels right to her, however, "what feels right" is not entirely selfish. She is driven to right injustice and help those she cares for - her perception of what injustices need righting and who she cares for, however, can easily change based on the circumstances.

Vaturi is less affected by her own unstable physiology than many other beings. She sees her transformations as a matter of convenience versus inconvenience, rather than as a shake-up of her self-image.

Trivia[]

She and Buraka are the only female Crynok in the Altronia Continuity so far, and both have blue armor, leading some to possibly think that all blue Crynok are female. This is not true, since Vaturi used to have jet-black armor. Her armor turned bluish upon being cybernetically rebuilt.
Vaturi was originally not supposed to be cynical and had no true personality. Her character concept changed after Sidd started going to school, and met one person in particular who was quite cynical and sarcastic, but still funny. Sidd based Vaturi's demeanor off experiences he had with this person. Sidd has since continued with the trend of learning from similar people and incorporating his experiences with them into Vaturi's personality.
