Hapori Dume

"Feel the vengeance of Hapori Dume!"

- Hapori Dume

Hapori Dume was the evil brother of Hapori Tohu who swore revenge against the BZPower Staff for robbing him of what he felt was his rightful position as the central administrative intelligence of BZPower.

A Prank Gone Wrong
Long before the creation of the BZPB Multiverse, Hapori Dume was created by the BZPower Staff to replace his brother, Hapori Tohu, as the central administrative artificial intelligence of BZPower for the duration of one day. During this period, Hapori Dume made several radical changes to BZPower that turned it into even more of a dictatorship than it already was. Once the sole day that the BZPower Staff had promised to Hapori Dume had passed, Black Six led a revolt against Hapori Dume that forcefully deposed him, trapped him within the form of a standard forum member, and added him to the ranks of the banned. While millennia passed in his prison, Hapori Dume swore revenge against the staff for robbing him of what he felt was his rightful position on BZPower.

Crawling Back to Power
In 150,080 CMT, Hapori Dume materialized within the 'BZPower: Heat the Soul' topic on BZPower in front of that universe's version of Ynot and the Original Universe's Ynot. Both Ynots decided that Hapori Dume was "not a good guy", so they each summoned a wave of massive iron spikes that impaled him from all sides and exploded. However, Hapori Dume emerged from the explosion unharmed, gloating "Hapori Tohu could not destroy me, why should you?!". Replying "Tohu wasn't me", OU Ynot took advantage of the fact that he was outside his own dimension to invoke a Dimensional Fracture that caused hundreds of Ynots from other universes to enter the area and attack Hapori Dume. In response, Hapori Dume summoned billions of Vahki that he sent to attack the Ynots, resulting in a colossal battle. While Hapori Dume was distracted with the battle, OU Ynot teleported behind him and impaled him. OU Ynot then tried to make his escape by teleporting away, but due to the irregular physics of BZPower, all the other Ynots were teleported with him and were deposited into BZPower's Reference Desk.

After Blackout blew a hole in the BZPower prison that allowed all of the banned members to escape, Hapori Dume shapeshifted into the form of the Architect in order to avoid being recaptured. When Hapori Dume bumped into BBB and User JS on his way out of the prison, he attempted to stay in character by accusing User JS of "nearly ruining" his game. However, the three of them noticed that Blackout could be seen fighting the Architect in the skies nearby, so Hapori Dume dropped the facade by shapeshifting back into his usual form. He then grabbed BBB and User JS and began to squeeze the life out of them, but User JS overpowered him with a blast of energy that caused the titan to release them both. The commotion attracted the attention of the BZPower Staff, who swooped in on the area and hit Hapori Dume with ban beams that transported him back to the prison, though User JS used another energy blast to incapacitate the staff members before they could serve the same treatment to BBB and himself.

In 150,081 CMT, a severely weakened Hapori Dume stumbled upon a fellow forgotten member by the name of Toatahu in a back alley on BZPower. Hapori Dume drained all of the unfortunate citizen's energy in order to restore himself, leaving behind nothing of Toatahu but his skeleton and his member ID card. The rejuvenated Hapori Dume then shapeshifted into the form of Toatahu and stole his identity by retrieving his member ID card and pinning it to his uniform before leaving to explore BZPower. While in disguise as "Toatahu", Hapori Dume arrived at a damaged part of the forum that a repair crew was working on and learned that the forums had been taken offline. After a short conversation with a staff member, Hapori Dume stole one of their maintenance vehicles and flew to a specific building that he then entered.

Battle of the BZPower Staff HQ
In 150,082 CMT, Hapori Dume watched as the Users launched their assault on the BZPower Staff HQ and decided to help them by attacking the guards outside the headquarters' entrance. After tearing an admin in half in his four-armed battle form, Hapori Dume leaped onto a turret that was being mounted by Gatanui and threw its occupant into a wall, swearing revenge on the BZPower Staff on behalf of all banned members. Later, Hapori Dume grabbed Black Six from behind while gloating that B6 had not been able to permanently defeat him, though he was forced to let go of his target when DeeVee blasted him in the back. Hapori Dume then threw an axe and a brick at Black Six instead, but Black Six shielded himself by hiding behind the Matoran in a Black Suit, who suffered the brunt of the attacks and immediately died from his injuries. Black Six threw the MiaBS's corpse aside and hit Hapori Dume with a huge blast of energy that flung him into a wall. However, Hapori Dume climbed back to his feet and grabbed a nearby bin that he rammed over Black Six's head, trapping him inside.

The Architect continued the fight by jump-kicking Black Six into a chair that wasn't there before, though he asked Hapori Dume to stop helping him. Although Hapori Dume replied "I help no-one", he imbued two swords with explosive energy that he then offered to the Architect by placing them in front of him in an action that seemed to contradict his prior statement. Hapori Dume then respected the Architect's wishes by leaving the area, but the Architect ignored the swords that he had left behind and continued to fight Black Six bare-handed instead.

Trivia

 * The character of Hapori Dume was originally created by Kelly "Binkmeister" McKiernan as part of BZPower.com's April Fools event on April 1st, 2004. In the lore that Binkmeister created for the character, Hapori Dume was a merger between the benevolent Hapori Tohu, the omnipotent being who watched over BZPower, and the shadowy and mysterious Turaga of Metru Nui, Turaga Dume, about whom little was known at the time. BZPower was remodeled into "VahkiPower" and Hapori Tohu was replaced by Hapori Dume for the duration of the event. 24 hours later, BZPower was returned to normal, Hapori Tohu was reinstated as the site's mascot, and Hapori Dume's user account was banned.
