Toa of Psionics

"I was the first Psionics Toa, and one of the first Toa ever created. But I was, let’s say, a little too...aggressive in using my powers. I had a temper then. A short fuse plus psionics leads to bad things...sometimes very bad things. [...] After that, someone decided that maybe a gentler touch was needed for Psionics...so all the subsequent Psionics types were made female."

- Orde, The Yesterday Quest

Toa of Psionics was a title given to a Toa who wielded the Element of Psionics. Toa of Psionics typically transformed from a Ce-Matoran, although Orde was an exception. Should a Toa of Psionics fulfill his or her destiny, they were given the option of sacrificing their Toa Power and becoming a Turaga of Psionics. If a Toa of Psionics lost their Kanohi, their Elemental powers would be halved and their overall strength greatly weakened.

Powers
A Toa of Psionics' Elemental power gave them near-perfect command over psychic energy. As such, at a basic level, they could create, and control mental energy. Examples of this included creating blasts of psychic power, utilizing both telekinesis and telepathy, and even controlling the minds of others. Unlike most other Elemental types of Toa, Toa of Psionics could not absorb their element. Toa of Psionics were also naturally shielded from any outside mental influence; Toa of Psionics possessed all these abilities on a vastly greater level than a Turaga or Matoran of Psionics.

Personality and Traits
Only two Toa of Psionics have been seen in the main story. While Orde has been shown to be hot-tempered and impatient, Varian has been shown to be odd and quirky.

Toa of Psionics usually wore armor that was blue and gold in color. All Toa of Psionics were also female, with the exception of Orde (whose actions led to all other Toa of Psionics being female).

History

 * This section needs expansion; please add on to this section if you are able to. Thank you.

The first Toa of Psionics to be come into being was Orde, a male who was created as a Toa. One of his first missions after creation was to calm down a group of Zyglak. However, his mission failed; instead of suppressing their rage, his psionic powers increased it. Afterward, it was decided that all subsequent Toa and Matoran of Psionics would be created as females, as they were deemed to be of a gentler nature.

After Teridax's death, the remaining Toa of Psionics evacuated to Spherus Magna.
