Personality Description: In contrast to his imposing physical stature, Toa has a heart of gold, as well as being a loyal and grateful to his Tribe. Toa Maunga has also been shown to be a very forgivable person even if his friend is corrupt, or how evil they are, no matter how many innocent people they've killed, and even if they're trying to kill him. This may be considered a weakness to some, but it has earned him the adoration of many. He is not tough or cruel to his Tribe, preferring to lead them with an honest heart and in doing so, show them how to better the world around them. He has a very poor sense of direction, often going missing from the tribe for days when he was only supposed to be away for a few hours. Despite his gentle giant persona, Toa is a powerful fighter, with a feral cunning and knack for quickly exploiting openings his opponent gives him. He will never kill an opponent, no matter what their crimes as he believes everyone can be redeemed. He has stated that it is his duty to guard this land from the horrors others wish to bring upon it, but will not sentence them to death as he is not a fit judge for such a task. He will however allow his tribesmen kill others during times of battle or war as his belief is a personal code and not one he wishes to force on his people. When confronted, Toa is calm and collected, not allowing his emotions to get the better of him. However, when angered, he is like a mountain given human form, an unrelenting turret aimed directly at those who have upset him.
Biographical History: Growing up, Toa was something of a troublemaker. He was known to lash out at authority figures and get into fights on a near daily basis. He parents were heroes within the Earth Tribe, but, like all great heroes, met their end when he was at an early age. A Landslide threatened a small village on the outskirts of the Earth Tribe, a tragic event that claimed both their lives but saved the village. Toa was treated well by those in the village, but he rebelled against this, not seeing what his parents saw in this place and why they had to sacrifice themselves for it. He was gifted in his ability to manipulate the earth around him, but he was unrefined, using his powers based purely on emotion and nothing else. This power, coupled with his size, made him an incredible asset to the Tribe if he was able to be tamed. The former leader would often send people to talk to him, but they would often returned bloody and bruised, indicating talks did not go well. Eventually, the Leader sent his daughter, Mora, a beautiful girl with a love of the tribe and the land. It was not the Leader's intention to try and have her woo Toa, but allow the natural charisma within her to shine through and maybe help him see the light. Toa was suspicious of the girl at first, but was willing to give it a shot if only to get everyone off his back.
Mora would often drag Toa around the land with her, forcing him to help her investigate situations and help those around the village. He was unwilling through most of this, often dragging his feet and refusing to do anything. He did however provide phenomenal back-up for her, often scary away any who would try anything. It took a few months, but Toa started to respect Mora, believing she would one day be a great Leader within the Tribe. About three years ago, Mora started to get sick. Toa by this time had developed into a strong, capable young man. He scoured the land looking for a healer for her, but it was not to be. Not long after she passed away, her father did as well. The Tribe believed it was of a broken heart, an assertion Toa could not argue against. In a rather odd turn of events, Toa was selected as the next Leader of the tribe as the heir apparent up until that point was Mora. Without a successor named, Toa accepted the responsibility of the Tribe. He was no longer the hedonistic troublemaker of his youth. He was a gifted man with a capable mind and unquestionable willpower. While many questioned the decision, his conviction and strength were something everyone could see.
