## History

Photez and Katuna were originally two basic Rahkshi of Heat Vision created by Teridax. They were soon ordered to accompany Cyphor's Makuta Team to the House to aid in the colonisation effort.

Once they arrived, Sawdris, the team's scientist, genetically modified both Rahkshi, giving them individual personalities, genders and physical appearances. Photez now had black 'skin', covered in white armour highlighted by spots of a slightly more flexible yellow carapace. Notably, Photez was given a male body and assigned as male by Sawdris, a fact she wouldn’t think anything of until many years later.

Once the war between the Toa and Makuta began, Photez opted to become the team's Upgrade Mechanic, using different assortments of spare parts to repair, modify, improve or sometimes entirely redesign her comrades.

Photez didn't really do much during the war, preferring to stay at the base camp to carry out her upgrades undisturbed. Intor once mentioned her in passing, wondering if a giant blue egg he'd found belonged to Photez. Photez also briefly visited the Rahkshis' edgy alleyway hangout, greeting Intor when he arrived at the location.

Once the war concluded and both sides made peace, Photez became the official Upgrade Mechanic for the entire region, constantly improving the inhabitants. As such, she made increasingly scarce appearances in public after this, always holed up in her workshop designing a new upgrade or ordering parts. As such, she didn't participate in nationwide events such as the Ultimate Battle, nor did she travel on any of the annual holidays.

When news arose of Zardok decimating Hero Factory outposts, Photez set out to stop him alongside Katuna and Memphis. While Katuna travelled inside the trio's camping supply box, with Memphis pushing from the rear, Photez opted to use a Segway for quicker transportation. While on their second journey from one campsite from another, Photez tried to use the Segway to push the supply box in an attempt to give Memphis a rest, only for her to lose control and career down a cliffside, snapping off one of her lower legs in the accident.

Photez went into a coma and was admitted to a hospital, which she remained in for a year and a half. In early 2022, she reawakened and resumed her job.

A few months later, Photez was seen brushing Starlight Glimmer’s mane. Good Guy, appalled, grabbed her by the tail and threw her into a wall, before ramming her with the Technic Truck to emphasise his distaste for ponies.

Sick of being constantly mistreated and disrespected by the general population despite her hard work, Photez abandoned her duties as an Upgrade Mechanic and instead began to commune in secret with Solek. Photez desired a greater purpose than labouring over everyone else’s appearances all the time with no actual reward, so Solek told her an ancient legend of a weapon so powerful it could literally turn the wielded into a god - the Lunar Sceptre. Determined, Photez set out on her quest to obtain the sceptre, donning a far sleeker “stealth” design in order to more effectively traverse the many regions she would have to navigate. As she travelled all across the universe on her journey, she encountered many other beings who she eventually befriended, much to her delight. These friends were the hoodie-clad Matoran Cordax, a powerful creature known only as Human Baby Larvae, a pair of Toa of Lightning known as Alucia and Senit, a Toa of Plantlife named Terra, a Toa of Water named Rhyla, a small robotic being named Eilrach and, most notably, an insectoid female Glatorian called Wakina. Upon finally finding the sceptre, Photez used its immense power to change her body into that of a female and also grant herself unfathomable amounts of power. She used her new abilities to tear out a tiny section of space and turn it into her Astral Cloak, as well as manifesting her Starburst Rifle. With her quest complete, Photez returned to her home universe after promising to come and visit her newfound friends whenever she could.
