History
Created by Mata Nui, the Vortixx are an industrious race, and have transformed their island of Xia into an industrialized land with few natural resources. The Vortixx species is mainly ruled by females, with males working the more dangerous jobs, never being allowed to leave the island. While all species members start out working the dirtiest, most dangerous jobs, at some point in their life they get a chance at better working conditions if two Vortixx climb "The Mountain" and return alive. But true special status is saved for those Vortixx who climb up with a partner and return alone, which show they have what it takes to survive in the world.
The Xia natives used to work a lot for the League of Six Kingdoms and, hearing rumors that the Barraki warlords were about to return to power, have been preparing for possible employment of making weapons again.
Recently the Vortixx found themselves under attack by a giant Rahi known as Tahtorak, who had been teleported from Voya Nui to Xia by the Order of Mata Nui member known as Botar. Soon after the beast arrived, the Kanohi Dragon appeared to challenge it.
As the creatures battled, the Toa Nuva arrived on the island to find the Staff of Artakha. However, a Makuta known as Icarax had already arrived and took the staff. Soon after arriving, the Nuva located the Rahaga who were drawn to Xia by the battle. The Toa soon located Roodaka and forced her to transform the Rahaga back into Toa Hagah. Despite their hatred of Roodaka, they agreed to take Roodaka into their custody and defend the Vortixx against the fighting Rahi. Roodaka was later taken into the Order of Mata Nui's custody and the Toa Hagah remained to protect the Vortixx. The Toa Hagah succeeded in subduing and containing both beasts, stopping their rampage.
The Dark Hunters later arrived to ravage Xia and it's occupants to stop them from producing weapons, but were stopped by the Order of Mata Nui. The Order later transported the Toa Hagah to Metru Nui, and left the Hunters around Xia, to ensure no more factions are supplied with Xian weaponry.
The Kingdom
In "The Kingdom" Pocket Dimension, the Vortixx migrated to the island of Mata Nui (along with many other beings) when the Great Spirit died. One of their kind, Roodaka, became a member of Turaga Takanuva's ruling council.
Abilities and Traits
Vortixx are tall, lean and black armored creatures with sharp claws. They can be cruel, manipulative and intelligent. For those who have encountered Roodaka, it might come as a surprise that Vortixx aren't interested in conquest. They prefer building weapons for other conquering factions. They care little about the status and identity of their customers, present and past, as long as the price is right.
