This disadvantage implies that when the sun is gone, the character comes back to normal, but an Orko can only go back to normal if the statue is intact by the time when other orkos from the same tribe as him perform a ritual to make him normal again.

So, I got this disadvantage and put the limitation that indicates that it cannot be turned off, totalizing -28.

Do you guys know of a better way to do it?
This is textbook Nocturnal with the Permanent Paralysis Enhancement for [-40] points, from 4e Basic p 146:

"Permanent Paralysis: You turn to stone or suffer some other permanent incapacitation if struck by the sun's rays. Only one specific power or item - most often a powerful magic spell - can reverse this effect. Details are up to the GM. +100%."

A slight period of rapid decline after hundreds or thousands of years of robust activity is a Feature worth nothing on multiple levels of Enhanced Lifespan. Unless you want them to experience no decline at all and then crash and burn abruptly when they hit their aging threshold, in which case just give them more levels of Enhanced Lifespan plus Self Destruct [-10] (4e Basic p 153).
