Aurumin

Aurumin, also known as the First Spinjitzu Master, was the first Primaer born between the Oni and the Dragons.

The Oni and Dragons fought over the Primaer, and so Aurumin, with a desire to escape their Realm, befriended Firstbourne, the Mother of Dragons.

Firstbourne led the Primaer in a mass exodus out of the First Realm, where they discovered the source of creation on the planet Crux, and would eventually become the gods of creation, or the First Builders. Aurumin is the creator of the planet Aurum, which contains the island of Ninjago.

He was known as the creator of Spinjitzu and all of Ninjago.

After defeating a dark entity of pure evil, the Overlord, and splitting the land into two halves (Ninjago and Dark Island), he empowered humans with Elemental Powers to become his guardians.

Eventually, he fathered two sons, Wu and Garmadon, and entrusted them with defending the Golden Weapons.

Shortly before his demise, he sealed himself into a tomb deep in the Endless Sea, where the Realm Crystal was also stored away.

After the Oni were vanquished by the efforts of the ninja and his sons, Aurumin summoned Lloyd to an unknown place in order to thank him for saving Ninjago.

## Appearance

Back in his prime, he wore a golden like armor during his time in Ninjago and during his old age he had longer white hair and beard, as far as history goes, his face was never seen, say for his family.

## Personality

Although Aurumin's personality has yet to be fully revealed, it is made clear that he was a benevolent individual.

His goodness was greatly respected by all who knew him.

It is also very likely he was wise for Wu seems to have learned life lessons from him as shown in "The Gilded Path."

Aurumin also did not practice favoritism, as he loved both his sons equally and Wu continued to defend him from Garmadon's bitter belief that Wu was always his favorite.

He also seemed patient and kind, gently lecturing Garmadon and Wu when they failed to catch even a single fish.

His impartiality is also demonstrated by choosing to side with neither the Dragons nor the Oni in their unending war with one another.

This shows his compassion, as his hybrid nature would have tipped the balance of power, and possibly resulted in the outright genocide of either species.

## Powers, Skills & Abilities

As a member/leader of the Primaers he posses god like powers and has equal ranking towards the rest of the Primaers.

* **Golden Power** - Aurumin was the first humanoid user of Golden Power, which was the source of his phenomenal power. Aurumin's power was sufficiently great to wield all the Four Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu at once and Garmadon has stated that the power of Aurumin could move mountains. Even the Oni, including the Omega, who is shown to be more powerful than his older son with his full potential, still would not dare attack Ninjago until his power had disappeared. He also managed to single-handedly defeat The Overlord and his Stone Army eventually in a great war by splitting Ninjago in half, destroying the Overlord's physical body and leaving him trapped in the Island of Darkness and sealing away the Stone Army in an ancient tomb. He had fully mastered the use of all the four main elements: Fire, Lightning, Earth, and Ice and could bestow them to others, as he was the one who gifted the Elemental Masters with their use. From his heritage as a hybrid of both the powers of the Oni and Dragons, he could command the power of Creation (most notably as the Tornado of Creation), and the power of Destruction, which he had at the highest levels, as he was capable of creating something out of nothing while other users needed materials to create, and his Creation powers were so great that he had the power to create an entire realm, having single-handedly created Ninjago.
* **Elemental Powers** - As confirmed in A Big Splash, Aurumin could use all elemental powers besides water and wind.
* **Soul Control** - Through currently unknown means, Aurumin was able to summon Lloyd's spirit to him after he had helped stop the Oni and was also able to return Lloyd back to the living world after finishing their talk.
* **Teleportation** - While in his afterlife, Aurumin could teleport around while coaching Lloyd on the meaning of life and the future.
* **Longevity (Decelerated Aging)** - Due to his Oni and Dragon heritage, Aurumin was able to live for several thousands of years. This trait was later passed down to his two sons, as they have lived for thousands of years. It is unknown if his grandson inherited this trait, as he is still very young.
* **Supernatural Combat** - Aurumin was clearly an exceptional martial artist in both armed and hand-to-hand combat, having been the one to develop the martial art of Spinjitzu and he was known to have wielded the Golden Weapons masterfully. He had a Spinjitzu fighting style unique known to him alone (later learned also by Lloyd), which was called the "Golden Dragon". Aurumin was also a highly capable teacher, as, under his tutelage, both of his sons would become excellent fighters in their own right.
* **Enhanced Intelligence (Enhanced Wisdom)** - Aurumin was known to be extremely wise and intelligent. His intelligence was displayed by how when the time came for him to die, in order to prevent anyone from traversing the Realms, Aurumin decided to hide the Realm Crystal in his tomb and cleverly encoded the clues on his staff and created three cunningly laid out deadly traps that the ninja had difficulty cracking. Aurumin was an exceptional weapon crafter, having been the one who shaped the Golden Weapons from the gold of the Golden Peaks before using the Temple of Light's powerful elemental energies to empower them. Aurumin was also equally capable of creating complex machinery as well as using them, as he was the creator of the Golden Mech and was able to use it without fail during his war with the Overlord.
* **Shapeshifting** - Although never shown, Aurumin is half Oni and therefore able to shapeshift at will into any creature he desires.

## Weapons

Aurumin was the only one who could wield the power of the four Golden Weapons at once (until Dark Magic gave Lord Garmadon the same ability), and he likely wielded them all in combat.

In "The Stone Army," he is pictured with a glowing sword of pure energy, similar to the Elemental Blades, though in reality he had been in the Golden Mech at the time.

He piloted the Golden Mech in a battle against the Overlord. His relationship with the Golden Dragon is unclear, but he was likely either its original possessor or capable of summoning it.

Passively, the First Spinjitzu Master kept with him at least two staffs, one containing the clues to his tomb that was passed to Wu, and another made of gold that was placed in his tomb's second test.

It was revealed in "Radio Free Ninjago" that he co-created and wore the fabled Dragon Armor.

He also created the Scrolls of Forbidden Spinjitzu, which enhances the elemental power of the wielder.

However, it slowly corrupts with prolonged usage and requires great will-power to overcome.
