New And Notes


GregF

3,955 views

-- Good news to start with -- I have gotten permission to get a whole new list of approved names done for 2010 and 2011, which means we will be able to have some new named characters in the story!

 

-- Plague tribe's element is ... iron. Yes, I know, that doesn't match their armor color, but there is a reason for that, which will get revealed in an upcoming mini-serial on BIONICLEstory.com called Sahmad's Tale.

 

-- Look for more info on the Psionics power on Monday, same place.

Yay! New characters! That's great news!

 

Over in GD we're currently discussing whether there should be more females in the story, and, well, we don't seem to have any female Agori... maybe that will change in the new serial.

Iron makes sense. They are rust-coloured after all.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

 

Though I'd like to see dark-reddish and brown, possibly old-bronze-green in there, too.

 

But green is oxidized copper, not Iron.

And iron makes sense, after 1000's of years of tribelesss neglect, their (hopefully) iron armor rusted to an orange.

Night Terror is on point -- while I am not planning a "name dump" into the story in 2010, if I decided, say, to do a flashback story, or to go into the red star, or to go to Bota Magna, I really can't do that if I have no new names.

Thank you Greg.

 

Iron is an excellent choice, and the Sahmad serial is something which many members have been wanting for a while now, including myself. :D

 

Also, new Psionics info? Sounds great.

 

Also, new names for 2010-2011? Even better. :happydance:

Yeah, that'd be great, Erebus. Xiirahk or Zirahk or what was it again? As far as I remember, Xiirahk was rejected, but what about Zirahk? If that's been rejected, too, maybe one of those thirty new names could be a Rahkshi of Heat Vision.

Wait, what? I never said anything here today. You're confusing me with Electric Turahk. :P

Anyways, I am glad Iron was chosen. I too originally thought that was a great idea.

Also, one could say that rust from metal is orange.

 

Yeah, sorry. I was quite tired yesterday and just read a post of you in the OGD in another tab, then switched the tab to Greg's Blog and... well, you know, accidents happen :lol:,

Okay thirty new dudes running around doing their own thing is way too many... Maybe only like five or six at a time?

Remember that the names are not only for characters; they can be used for masks, Rahi, etc.

To be honest, i don`t like the idea of adding more characters. Yes, maybe just a few Great Beings, Agori, Glatorian and alike, but thirty new personalities? No thanks.

 

Iron. Interesting choice... so no Element Lord here, i guess.

 

And what is that with Psionics?

The EL of iron might have died in the plauge. We still don't know :???:

No, because the plague happened before the ELs were even created. So there wasn't much of a tribe left by the time the GBs were concerned about making Element Lords to govern them.

Greg, you are awesome.

 

Unnamed characters can now have names! Sahmad and Telluris now have an element! Psionics is the coolest EP ever made!

I guessed Earth or Iron as elements a while ago, because

 

*Tellus, telluris (lat.) = earth

*Tellurium (short "Te", in German "Tellur") is a metalloid chemical element, number 52 of the periodic table

 

I don't know whether Greg knew this when he decided their element, but it makes sense.

Iron tribe ? Well I thought "Plagued tribe" sounded better but I think it makes sense considering that Sahmad and Telluris were both part of vehicle sets.

Problem is that "Plagued Tribe" was never an official name. It was merely a placeholder name until we learned the actual element of the tribe.

Greg, you are awesome.

New Names great.

Iron tribe and serial that's awesome that the best idea.

 

Going on Bota Magna will be awesome.

Greg think about Bota Magna it's a great place to move the

story new word new system all new.

The names sound interesting, that's for sure. Glad to see Psionics is finally an element. I also look forward to the upcoming serial. Will it elaborate more on the Plague Tribe?

 

Anyways, thanks for the update!
