The ocean laps at the metal walls of your canister. You can hear seabirds, although their sound is muffled. Ancient mechanisms shriek in protest at being awoken from what, judging by the rust, appears to be years of disuse and begin to grudgingly click. A popping sound heralds the appearance of a circle of light overhead. The sun glares into your light-starved eyes.

The clicking stops, and you are flung unceremoniously onto a beach. Several small crabs scuttle away. One of your arms nearly crushed them. You feel woozy.

Of course you do; pieces of you are strewn around on the sand. You aren't quite sure how you know what goes where, but you slowly piece yourself together. The more of yourself you reassemble, the more you feel like... yourself.

You slap the last piece, a mask, onto your face, and the dizziness disappears. You start to remember more about yourself.

Your Name:
(The name that is yours.)

Your Gender:
(I will not be abiding by the element-gender boundaries, since a. They have at least one canonical exception (Psionics guy whatshisname) and b. I want more variety and won't be pulling rule 63 on any major characters. Also c. I expect tg to try to play as a little girl and that shouldn't restrict element choices.)

Your Elemental Affinity:
(The element you control. This determines armor color. Elemental control usually allows a Toa to manipulate existing quantities of an element, absorb existing quantities of an element, and create quantities of that element. I say usually because certain powers (such as Psionics) can't really create/destroy. Selectable Elements include Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Stone (totally not earth), Lightning, Ice, and Sonics. Elements that may not be chosen include Shadow, Light, Gravity, Time and anything else broken or Legendary, at my discretion. Feel free to submit others.)

Your Toa Tool
(The weapon you use to focus your power. Stick to melee weapons for now.)

yes this is good

>>32043120

how about a secondary shovel/spade which can be used seperatly, or attached to extend the reach of the drill.... also good for that one game which I forget the name of......

Also, we using some of the movies for references, or that old flash game...

>>32043192
Kholi

since the movie takes place further down the timeline that the OP defines this quest, I'm not sure. But I don't think people will object too much to drawing on both.

>>32043192
That might work. Some kind of precision tool to go with our Big Drill Sword that can attach giving us reach.

Still, Important question here: Earth or Stone? I think Earth would give us more maneuverability but Stone would probably give us more raw power. Course, I'm just guessing.

>>32043192
I'm going off of memory and checking things with BS01, which has basically everything. I think BZP still has the Ask Greg threads archived; I'll read through those later.

>>32043243
Stone makes more sense with the drillblade thing, since we would be living with underground miners.

>>32043243
Stone lets you do crazy combos (kicking one stone to capitalize on the microscopic fractures in other formations to cause a massive tumbling action to smite shit) but the powers are more niche, earth is a little more versatile.
And onu-koro is way cooler than po-koro

>>32043279
Stone lived in po-wahi, which was above ground and in a desert.

Earth was the subterranean one.

>>32043279
Except, I think it was the Earth guys who lived underground, while the Stone ones lived inthe wastes/desert part.

>>32043299
>>32043312

>>32043256
this dude. I want Toa Hed-ban'gar to wreck shit by punching it with his head

Seconded, drill are for digging.

I say we go earth as earth was always more excavating while Stone often done engravings and sculptures.....


also, God Damn it, now I have to find my VHS player to watch the Bionicle movies again... though It will be glorious....

>>32043243

Hexari sounds a bit sci-fi.

The differences between Earth and Stone:

Physically, Earth is less solidified protodermis (except when it isn't) and more closely associated with the underground. Stone is hard solidified protodermis (except when it isn't) and associated with canyons, mountains, and deserts.

Philosophically, Earth is more passive, with a bent towards reclusiveness. Earth is wise and slow, and values the past (Onu-Matoran Archivists). Stone is strong and hard, occasionally to the point of being unyielding.

>>32043256
By stone I meant Earth. Made the same mistake as this guy >>32043279. I just want to be a miner who mines rocks with his face and maybe has a pet crab.

>>32043415
Alright, so we'll go with >>32043065
>tūmataiti
then, unless someone can come up with something else.

Hmm, I kinda like the Stone personality better, but I like Earth's other stuff more.

>>32043481
It might be wise to play with the spelling abit though to make a more functional name

All the 2001 bionicle names were Māori words, but the spelling in some of them was changed around

For names, etc, consider this: http://www.bzpower.com/story.php?ID=6272

>>32043525
tumati?

>>32043481
Personalities aren't set in stone. Canon has insecure Toa of Fire, brash Toa of Water (although that might have just been the Hordika venom), and depressed Toa of Air (Lesovikk).

>>32043017
I have a personal soft spot for Toa of Sonics. Lego Magazine had an article on Krakua and I thought the idea was the best thing ever, so I gave my own personal Toa the element of Sonics.

>>32043415
This makes Stone more interesting, but I I don't want the little hero-robot-girl in stone's traditional crappy brown.

>>32043557
How about a gratuitous additional h to make it Tumahti?

Whenua's pretty cool. Onewa, on the other hand, can be kind of a dick.

>>32043935
Hmm, I think you might want to call for a quick vote between the Sound and Earth powers so we can move on. I think Earth's winning, but I want the Sound guys to have a fair shot at it.

So it's looking like you will be Tumahti, a female Toa of Stone, Earth, or Sonics wielding an extendable drillswordspear or bell or bells, unless you decide to change everything, which you might.

I vote for earth, fuck sonics.

>>32044146
Earth, drillspear.

>>32044239
are we only going with one toa? I thought we were going to have like a team

what sorta weapon would a magnetic using toa use? A giant magnet?

>>32044765
I dunno. Captain America's Shield perhaps?

>>32044765
They would probably use their enemies' weapons (and bodies).

>>32044765
Could simply be a large metal pole that you can magnetise one end or the other and make it so the thing your hitting or the thing behind it is the oppisite polarity

>>32044804
more like Captain Nui

>>32044826
Oh gods. Chronicler, if you haven't decided on other Toa for this quest yet, I implore you to use something like this.

>>32044819
I could imagine him/her to jump around, making the enemies magnetic and thereby attracting each others punches/attacks all while making himself/herself demagnetise in order to deflect attacks.

A spiked iron ball he is able to manipulate in-air due to his magnetic powers.

I'd be up for Captain Nui to be total zen and bro-like. Maybe slightly mentor-ish?

>>32044848
This is actually a great idea, anon. The votes that didn't make it could totally be other Toa. We could have the sonic bell user and Captain Nui as two of our fellow Toa buddies.

Hell, make the Bell Toa the water one ever so s/he can do crazy echolocation shit with them.

You are Tumahti. That's all you can come up with.

You pick up the last thing that flew out of with you, a thin grooved metal cone (maybe you'll find somewhere to attach it later? For now, it'll serve as a weapon) and climb atop the beached canister to survey your surroundings.

The beach you landed on is small. There are cliffs beside you, and a natural trail leads up to the jungle. Seabirds wheel overhead. There doesn't seem to be anything dangerous around, although there might be something in the water. Ugh. It's not like you want to go in there anyway.
The jungle ahead beckons. The idea is silly, but it seems like fate is pulling you straight ahead.

[ ] Climb rocks; why not take the hard way up?
[ ] Enter the jungle. Something might be calling you...

[x] Climb rocks.

The cliff is actually a slight overhang, but you climb it as easily as you walk. You seem to know instinctively just where to put your fingers and the exact amount of weight each rock will hold. You skip handholds and even try climbing backwards for a while.

The cliff is surprisingly tall; the trees you saw from the beach were actually enormous. At about a third of the way up, you run into a ledge of weak rock. You push yourself away from the rock face, hook your fingers onto the edge of the ledge, and swing up and over the obstacle, giving it just enough force to send it down.

It feels pretty good.

You land back on the cliff face and look down just in time to watch the former ledge crash into the ocean. The spray almost reaches you.

Down on the remnants of the ledge lies a gray mask, kind of like the one you have on. You could try to grab it and head up, or you could just continue up the cliff face.


[ ] Try to grab the mysterious mask. It'll take up a hand, but that's no problem for you.

Yeah, all masks are just a dull flat grey when not worn. The color of the protodermis they are made from. It's the rusty-looking masks you have to watch out for.

hey.. Captain Nui is not hype. If anything we are underhyping him. He is that awesome

[ ] Try to grab the mysterious mask. It'll take up a hand, but that's no problem for you.

Retracing your path down, you reach for the mask and hook it with your foot. You pull it up to your hand. A bit of rust flakes off.

Before you can investigate further, the entire cliff face crumbles into the ocean. As you fall, you notice marks from a flat stone tool behind the rocks. It looks like somebody went to a whole lot of trouble to booby-trap this mask's location, even raising an entire false cliff face to do so.

What a dick.

On the plus side people have lived here before, and you have a new mask. On the other side, you are falling off a cliff.

Wat do?


[ ]Resign yourself to cold wet fate and just try thinking about making the cliff not fall. You'll survive (made of metal), but it'll hurt. Oh, and you might drown.

[ ]Try running up the falling rocks. It'd be totally badass and, with your mad rock-climbing skills, actually possible.

[ ]Use your grooved metal cylinder on a stick to catch the wall and then dodge rocks. Also pretty badass.

Yeah I agree with you dawg... But maybe that was just for atmosphere.

Again to not put it on would be a little... metagamey. However... Maybe we should wait a while before we put it on. Just to make sure.

I prefer earth to stone. More useful, and the color scheme is less UPS.

>>32046978
Although, if we do stick to Earth and you want to justify the Rock running thing, We are a recently awakened, and kinda young?, Toa. We've probably got some energy to burn.

>>32047125
Yeah I prefer earth as well, plus, as mentioned, the personalities don't always sync up to elements. You can be an adventurous earth Toa rather than a bookworm.

>>32046978
I'd rather keep Earth, Stone is nice being stronger and stuff, but what matters really is that Stone makes us crappy brown whereas Earth means pimp pure black mask.

That and going with earth usually being calm and rational makes for a change from the usual action hero character.

[ ] Run up falling rocks

1/2 (Part 2 in a minute or so)

You swivel in midair, planting your drillspear into the cliff face and pushing off it with your hands to get airborn. You land on a rock across from you, snag the drillspear, and run straight up. When you reach the top of that rock, you spring up to the next one.

You can move pretty fast, but you can't move faster than the rocks fall, at least not while also fighting gravity one-handed - and the rocks are running out. You try to figure out what to do, and your concentration breaks. Your left foot lands on a rock made slippery by the spray, and you plummet towards the water.

Before you can pull some other crazy stunt to save yourself, a reptilian forelimb smashes into your back, flinging you face first into the rock wall. The earth seems to mold to your hands- but you've got bigger problems.

[x] Fight.

You level your drillspear in a hopefully menacing way. The creature's forearm snaps out- directly into your drillspear's tip. If you're lucky, it'll hurt itself and back off. You don't really want to kill it.

It's got metal and toughened skin there. Of course it does. Your handhold is good, but the impact is enough to stun you, and you drop a few feet before your foot catches in a perfectly shaped notch that you could have sworn wasn't there earlier. You grip the drillspear tightly with both hands.

The creature strikes again, but this time you have the presence of mind to dodge the blow. Its arm lodges in a crevice. It turns its other arm towards you.
Your back is, quite literally, to the wall. The mysterious mask fell into the water the first time you were hit, and, while you regret its loss, your survival is more important. If this thing knocks your mask off, you could fall and drown... assuming it doesn't eat you first.

>>32048606
Whats our choices here? are we waiting for more story stuff? I say we try and spear the thing's mask off... its right at the base of its head? right?

Your back is to the wall, you've got nothing to stand on, and that's enough puns for today.

[ ] Run up. You can't take this thing in a fight. If it hunts by ambush and stuns its prey, how fast can it be?

[ ] Drop down. Your back is to the wall and you haven't got a thing to stand on. Maybe you can grab the mask and swim away.

[ ] Fight. One good blow to the head might stun it long enough for you to escape or kill it.

[ ] Write-in.

>>32048713
Run up the wall and spear the thing in the head with your metal pole!

>[ ] Run up. You can't take this thing in a fight. If it hunts by ambush and stuns its prey, how fast can it be?
Much as I wanted to fight this thing, trying to do it on a cliff side, probably isn't the best idea.

I don't think so.

Also, tiebreaker?

What kind of personality are you guys (or girls (or people of nonstandard gender) leaning towards?

Don't forget us robots trapped in the body of a man. and... I dunno. We seem pretty casually adventurous so far. Not like "FUCK YEAH LETS PUNCH THAT MOUNTAIN" and more like "Oh Look! A Penny" right after we Got to the top of a mountain.

Though honestly we should aim for our social actions to define our personality perhaps.

Smack it with the drill and lure it to a more advantageous position for us.

[x] Fight

The cliffside seems to be perfectly positioned for you. Hopefully the creature's hand remains stuck in the crevice. You use the drillspear's butt to try and lock the hand in, and the entire cliff shifts. It certainly isn't going to be escaping any time soon, although if looks could kill, you'd be long dead. It seems you have the ability to influence the earth's movement to some extent.

The beast snarls and its other forearm lashes out and-

You focus and-

A wall of earth erupts from the sea between you. You're gasping for breath and your muscles hurt, but this should buy you enough time to come up with a better plan.

You can hear a dull thunking from the other side of the wall. The vibrations reveal that, whether the creature is planning to kill you or simply trying to escape, the wall will collapse toward you soon. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.

Quest ends here for tonight, as my already subpar writing gets worse as I get tired. I'll be around for Q&A for a while though. General Bionicle Thread?

>>32050195
Alright, looks like my initial trust was unbroken. At least for now. Thanks for running Chronicler.

Also, since I don't really know much past the early Metru Nui stuff, anyone want to point me to a good resource for learning/relearning Bionicle?

I believe he said this is the 2001 timeline, so we should be taking the place of the original Toa. Should be interesting to see the others.

Thank you for playing. As another anon said, BS01 (the Saga Guides in particular) is great. >>32050306

You'll find out in a thread or two. If you had entered the jungle, it would have been less.

>>32050343
Drawfaggotry? Saving. Thank you.

The quest should continue tomorrow. The Tarakava has one forearm through the wall between you and stuck in the cliff behind you, and one bashing on the wall with its head. You have air for now, since your gulch has no roof, but if the wall falls, moving that much dirt again might be impossible. You could suffocate.

I'd put in more details for the chest. As it stands, the body shape is a little generic. I'm fine with leaving it as Onua's pallet, since it looks rather nice. Maybe a darker shade for the body and mask?

And, holy crap this universe got far more complicated than I originally expected. Reading up on this lore is going to take awhile.

>>32051220
A Prequel Arc (or two) a couple movies, and a metric butt load of side stories and even a couple alternate universes along the way.

Part of me laments that it went from sort of "Scifi Tribal Fantasy" to straight up scifi, but damn if there isn't some epic reveals along the way.

>>32050195
no Teridax bullshit pls

I liked Makuta better when he wasn't a brotherhood.

>>32051312
Yeah... that might've been the one thing I didn't like with the newer years. As cool as the Karda Nui arc was actually, the whole expansion into "Makuta being a race of sorta Toa Prototypes" and... shit like that. Teridax is a kinda shitty name. Makuta sounds primeval, evil, and just rolls off the tongue.

>>32050904

Calix revamp advice:

The 2001 masks don't really have mouths. They have circles, bars, rectangles, and parallelograms, but the lack of a mouth fits the almost surreal idea of robots on a tropical island. The Ignika Calix is actually organic and sentient (and ugly).

>>32051364
Teridax's master plan will be kept in mind, but thr Brotherhood probably won't be a thing.
Some details will be changed: I'll slim down the Makuta Powerset (42 Kraata powers plus shadow hand plus mask is just too many), use less to no visorak stuff, probably different Toa Ignika/Mahri if they exist at all. The Brotherhood's reason for rebelling etc actually fit with the original Amaja Circle legend, which I find fascinating.

Maybe I can have somebody call him Teridax and have him get pissed off.

Makuta as a villain is cooler as the primal force created with Mata Nui, almost like Tren Krom. He should be able to hold his own in a fight, but as the primal force of evil, he subverts and corrupts (see: activating Bohrok early/Ahkmou/the Master Plan).

I'll give that a shot before I figure out the rest of Tumahti's colors in a bit.

Captain Nui would wear a Hau right? What about Bell Toa? I can't help but think pic related for him.

>>32054434
>I can't help but think pic related for him.
I love it. Question is would Bell Toa be a dude or would they be the obligatory blue chick? Either way, I feel like Ga-koro would be a natural fit for sonic powers.

>>32054434
>Hau
Nah. Captain Nui would wear something new and never seen before. Like a mask that looks like random metal just stuck to his face and then turned into a mask after a while.
I have no idea for a power.. Maybe something passive? Like buffing teammates? Or maybe healing. A team captain that is also the partys white mage

>>32054507
There are actual Sonic Toa actually, and Sonic Matoran and etc. Its some Expanded Universe stuff but still. I might be tempted to agree with you.

>>32054546
I thought it be Hau because it is the mask of shielding.
>Using a shield, mask of shielding, toa of magnetism flying around like static shock.

>>32054507
>Ga-koro
nah dude. Bell Toa would be like a wandering bard. Always on the go and looking for new sounds to discover and put together to make the ultimate melody/tune.
And I would rather that it was a he. preferably with toa dreadlocks

>>32054507
I figure bell toa might be a dude.

>>32054586
yeah.. using a shield and all that. Everyone would expect him to be using Hau (I am not saying that he doesn't have it in his collection. But it's not his main mask)

>>32054587
>And I would rather that it was a he. preferably with toa dreadlocks
I like this a lot. I still think either Ga-koro or the leaf dudes would be a good fit for him, even if he does tend to wander more than stick around.

>>32054645
he would totally bro it up with the leaf dudes.
They would be all "Hey Toa Bell. Look what we found. A new rahi that attracts you with its sound and then eats you"
"Bitchin.. let's look at it little dude"

>>32054587
I like this.
Maybe make him some sort of musical tinker too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tVZxqEm5PQ

I might have to save this for when the OP comes back but are we rolling with toa in the original Six elements? or are we branching out into expanded universe stuff? Magnetism Psionics, Sonics, Green, Metal, Etc, being elements of matoran, and therefore elements of toa.

how about.. a toa of animal/life? This would be the token girl toa and she would be found by the animals of mata nui and raised by them.
She wouldn't have any weapons but instead have a bond with some crazy lego monster that everyone fears but she just thinks is a big ball of love or something

>>32054693
I don't think there is any "Main" elements. You just make a toa and roll with it. Last night I posted the idea for a toa of magnetism and then later the name Captain Nui. People rolled with it and now is more of a community project.
If you have an idea for a toa I say go for it. Post it and see what people say

There's the Green (Not Air which is also green, but The Green is an element all its own, apparently), which is... essentially Plants as an element, plus there is a mask of Rahi summoning.

oooh that might be something. But is there a way we can think the animal controlling/summoning/life in a new way? Something that has not been seen before?

>>32053952
Nice

Also, is this gonna get archived?

>>32054927
Yeah I have no idea how this works. I mean ... I figure it might definitely get archived on foolz or the automatic archive somewhere, but theres SupTG as well... though apparently there is a "request for archive" system there. Sorry I'm a little new to the Quest Scene.

>>32054775
we could maybe perhaps make the animal control more like animal posession. Like a clever way of using a mask of Mind Control or mask of Spirits. Meaning the toa in question might be a bit indesposed while working whatever animal or rather Rahi magic.

>>32054954
It does get automatically archived on Foolz, but it's good to use Suptg anyway because it gives you a nice list.

Basically just head over to http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/requestinterface.html?, then put the post number of the OP in, a title, description and some tags, and hit Go. It's easy.

how about animal transformation?

>>32054977
Also, keep using the same tags for each thread so we can have a complete archive. You can also put in an extra tag or two to describe the particular going-ons in a thread.

>>32054989
Possibly. There is a mask of Adaptation, which basically has no real appearance or Cool Maori-esque name, because its mostly been fluffed in fiction.

>>32054989
Hell one can fluff a whole new mask for that sort of thing to be honest. But might have to be like minimized somehow.

Cause yeah there's stuff in canon that are similar, like mask of kindred, which is basically mimic rahi abilities, or adaptation (Which is more about fitting into an enviroment), nothing along the lines of physical transformation like that. So yeah. Fluff away!
