I think I would need to actually see his 'power' in action... it could be purely a mental thing otherwise.
I can't show you much about Kapura besides what BS01 says. It sounds like a power, since you don't logically get to places quickly by moving slow.
Time is relative you know. Time can seem to speed up when you're having fun, and can seem to slow down when you're bored. Perhaps.... by focusing so intently on where he wants to be, he is able to feel like he got somewhere quickly even though it took him a long time to get there?

Except that Kapura would appear places quicker in MNOG than he should have at the pace he was going.
And even then, is there much of a problem with them having powers? I could just say they were an experiment, or energized protodermis if you want a reason.

Kapura had a random power, and was canon. You have my approval on feasibility. Emarcee has little to no sway, aside from his reputation, I'm afraid. However, I do request you put it to the FAC, as it seems somewhat overpowered, and could be abused.
Not exactly what I was thinking. Moral light/shadow seems to be one's purity or morals; I was thinking that GG and BG would draw power from the events that have on an effect on the Great Spirit Robot's inner workings (whether it is Matoran being lazy, people causing discord and chaos or something huge like wiping out a species). I was thinking this just because if BG and GG were going by morals they would just be drawing power from their own purity (pure evil or good) and never starve.
Misunderstanding. By, "overall," I meant the population of the GSR. When "bad" things happen, it is likely due to more shadowy decisions in the GSR.
People may disagree with that interpretation, as it is not descriptive enough. However, I am in no mood for a debate, so... one more question.
How powerful do these matoran get in good and bad events?
Understood. Nothing too special. They would be at peak physical ability - slightly stronger than the average Matoran - and would be able to release some light/shadow energy.

Then as far as OP goes, there is no problem here. They also make interesting characters without sounding uncanon. I vote yes.
If kllyann changes his vote upon hearing your recent reply, you may start using them, however, currently you have only one vote for approval and our other FAC member is yet to be selected.

He does have a power though. According to BS01, Vakama taught him to use the secret art of traveling far distances quickly by moving slow.
Indeed.
I still challenge the idea that Kapura's abilities constitute a 'power' and would further argue that BIONICLE was very young by this point, and that the exact mechanics of Matoran, Toa, Turaga, and the rest of the MU hadn't quite been fully realized. Additionally, MNOG is not technically canon, so therefore, not everything that takes place in MNOG should be taken as if they are 100% correct.
I mean, MNOG is also where we see Hewkii and Macku blushing at each other and holding hands. So... pretty sure if THAT's not canon then Kapura's 'power' might not be either.

Name: Khetae
Alias: The Silence
Species: Toa
Element: Sonics
Powers: Sleep, Slow, Stasis, Pain Removal (can remove the FEELING of pain, but not the cause).
Kanohi: Khetae dons the Faxon and Hau.
Weapons/Tools: Khetae wields a bow and arrow set, as well as a whip. Khetae's arrows can be barbed, toxic, snaring (energy web and slow), trapping (slow/stasis), flaming, hydra (splits into many arrows in the air), explosive and more.
Appearance: Khetae is of relatively average height, with black and golden armor. His eyes are an enthralling golden color. He has a lean build.
Personality: Khetae is serious, and very stubborn. He doesn't talk, if he can help it, finding it wasteful. The only times he opens his mouth is for food, or screams. Khetae is no-nonsense, and very much the opposite of Axarella.
Backstory: Khetae's past is shrouded in mystery. At one point, he and Axarella attempted to escape from the First Face of Insanity, The Darkness. This ended poorly, and Khetae was promptly thought to have been killed by the Darkness, leaving Axarella to flee. Khetae was in truth, imprisoned inside the Darkness itself, forced to watch as it, no, he, sent an entire army after Axarella, only for her to slaughter it all and escape by jumping off a cliff. His time inside the Darkness gave him the new abilities of Sleep, Slow and Stasis, while he already had the power to remove Pain.
You want an explanation for Pain Removal? It's more of a art, similar to Kapura's teleportation. He used to be obnoxiously loud, but didn't feel pain as much, since he just removed his own pain. If you want, I have an actual explanation of how this art works, and how it could be learned. It's not something unique or super special to Khetae, because he learned this technique from the Darkness and from Mnemosyne. I'm willing to explain this, in private, to someone.

I don't think that's true. Kapura's have to be a power, they aren't an ability. And no, BIONICLE's age at the time isn't affecting this. We will be taking whatever in MNOG as canon unless Greg has said otherwise, duh.
Yeah, and I'm personally canonizing that, for my own little brain. If anyone else doesn't want to, that's cool, but I get to have my little headcanon. I mean, I think it's cute, seeing how their relationship is doomed, now that Hewkii's a Toa. Also, the phrasing of that makes it seem like Kapura having a power is worse than love.

Young or old, it doesn't matter much. It's still considered canon, and Kapura has a power in canon material that isn't retconned, so therefore it wouldn't be much of a stretch at all for another matoran to have an innate ability.
And in all honesty, it sounds more interesting with them having an innate ability instead of being experimental freaks or something.

MNOG itself is not canon though -- many of the events within MNOG are canon, but not the game itself. That's what I was getting it.
Also, you must remember that during 2001-2003, BIONICLE was very different thematically. And the fact that the themes of BIONICLE were different at the time are likely what caused Kapura to have his 'power'. At the time -- it made sense, because it was a strange island, and a Matoran being taught a strange ability by an elder did not sound so far-fetched. However, as time dragged on, it became apparent that Matoran across the board are not supposed to have powers.
Kapura's ability conflicts with everything we know about Matoran. What I am trying to point out is that reconciling Kapura with canon is no simple feat, and would have serious repercussions.

I'm not going to try and explain how it works. There's alot of stuff that can't be explained easily in Bionicle. But Kapura has the power, and just like everything else it is canon. You can't argue against the fact it is canon.
It doesn't have to be a common thing, but matoran can have innate powers, as proved by Kapura
