(File name: Turaga at Amaja-Nui)
(LtR; Turaga Vakama, Nokama, Onewa, Nuju, Matau, Onewa)
Detailed character descriptions below;
Turaga Vakama
"At one time, so many stunning revelations one on top of the other would have overwhelmed Vakama. But that was before he became a Toa in more than just a name. He had overcome his insecurities and his fears. He had confronted the darkest part of himself during the struggle with the Visorak and emerged stronger from it." -- Narrator, Time Trap

Vakama was a Ta-Matoran Mask Maker, the Toa Metru of Fire, and briefly the Toa Hordika of Fire. He later became one of the Turaga of Mata Nui and then Metru Nui.
Turaga Nokama
"We worry about where we're going ... not where we've been. Makuta wanted us to turn on each other, fight among ourselves, so that he could succeed. But we stopped him. And we will go on stopping him and others like him. It's who we are - it's what we do." -- Toa Hordika Nokama, Challenge of the Hordika
Kanohi: Noble Rau Tools: Trident Status: Alive Location: Spherus Magna Pronunciation: noh-KAH-mah
Nokama was a Ga-Matoran teacher, the Toa Metru of Water, and briefly the Toa Hordika of Water. She later became one of the Turaga of Mata Nui along with the other Toa Metru, and was one of the Turaga of Metru Nui before Teridax's reign began.
Turaga Matau
"We quick-save Matoran. We defeat evil. We get to explore ever-strange places like this. A little discomfort is not so very bad compared to that." -- Toa Metru Matau, The Darkness Below

Turaga Onewa
"Turaga Onewa said something to me before I left Po-Koro. He said it's easy to be a hero when you have plenty of power and your only worry is whatever enemy is fool enough to challenge you. It's not so easy when all you have is your wits and your biggest enemy is yourself." -- Toa Nuva Pohatu to Kopaka, Tales of the Masks
Kanohi: Noble Komau Tools: Stone Hammer Status: Alive Location: Spherus Magna Pronunciation: oh-NEE-wah
Onewa was a skeptical Po-Matoran Carver native to Metru Nui who became the Toa Metru of Stone, and briefly the Toa Hordika of Stone. He later became one of the Turaga of Mata Nui along with the other Toa Metru, and was one of the Turaga of Metru Nui before Teridax's reign began.
Turaga Whenua
"When I was younger, I believed all answers could be found in the past. I still believe the past should be our teacher." -- Turaga Whenua, Tales of the Masks

Turaga Nuju
"He's been talking like that ever since he left Metru Nui. It's the language of the flying Rahi, or something close to it. The Toa of Ice has evidently decided that if we want a conversation with him, we will have to work for it." -- Toa Metru Nokama, Time Trap
Kanohi: Noble Matatu Tools: Ice Pick Status: Alive Location: Spherus Magna Pronunciation: NOO-joo

I thought, since I had not given backgrounds for the character renders of the Turaga, I'd send them all at once.
