Once again I'd like to welcome everyone, now straight to more business.
The two-hundred-sixty-first article proposed by Vahkuax is as follows:
Vahkuax hereby proposes that within "The C.I.R.C.L.E. Universe" there exists a planet known as "Terra Magna" (TEHR-rah MAG-nuh) within the Solis Magna System.
Terra Magna is a tiny planet that is a little over three-hundred-thousand mio from the star. It has icy poles and the northern part of the planet is an ocean. The continents are mountainous and often covered in forest. Just south of the equator is a region with a lot of volcanic activity, and south of that are more mountains, forests, and seas. Terra Magna is smaller than the other planets in the system and it has a single, very small moon.
Terra Magna was initially uninhabited by sapient species however, when "The Shattering" occurred, a small piece of Spherus Magna, which housed a small number of Bone Hunters, Agori, Vorox, and a few other intelligent beings, was caught by the gravity of Terra Magna. Some of these inhabitants survived the crash and resumed life on this new world.
Now, feel free to discuss this proposal in this thread and then vote.
All in favor vote "AYE".
All opposed vote "NAY" with an explanation.
The two-hundred-sixty-second article proposed by Koji is as follows:
Koji hereby proposes that within "The C.I.R.C.L.E. Universe" there exist flora known as "Fusha" (FOOSH-uh), a type of plant that grows in many place and is rampant every year for about a month's equivalent within the Matoran Universe. Fusha are immune to fire, making control of their spread difficult. The plant, however, has been used for its' lightness and durability to make things like cloaks, nets, ropes, and more, which remain flame retardant.
Now, feel free to discuss this proposal in this thread and then vote.
All in favor vote "AYE".
All opposed vote "NAY" with an explanation.
The two-hundred-sixty-third article proposed by Koji & Xinlo is as follows:
Koji & Xinlo hereby propose that within "The C.I.R.C.L.E. Universe" there exist extremely rare artifacts known as "Inika Stones" that were strewn throughout the Galactic Universe for one reason or another, and are even occasionally found within the Matoran Universe, though no one knows how or why they were scattered. Some believe their depositing was due to an unknown group, while others believe that an actual star shattered and the fragments were dispersed across the cosmos, yet all agree that they are very valuable and immensely powerful.
Upon coming into contact with an Inika Stone, a being absorbs its' power, transforming their form, granting them non-elemental Lightning powers in addition to the powers they innately possess, and making their Kanohi organic.
Now, feel free to discuss this proposal in this thread and then vote.
All in favor vote "AYE".
All opposed vote "NAY" with an explanation.
The two-hundred-sixty-fourth article proposed by Koji is as follows:
Koji hereby proposes that within "The C.I.R.C.L.E. Universe" there exist extremely rare artifacts known as "Nova Stones", which are much sought after due to the absolute power they carry within. These small, yet powerful stone shards can be found in various parts of the Matoran Universe
By shattering even a fragment of a Nova Stone, which is all that anyone needs, they are able to unleash the energies into their own bodies, gaining even greater power, as well as a new form. The Nova energies causes everything to change; from armor, to weapons, to Kanohi shape. Furthermore, the strength, agility, defense, and raw power level of the user are all amplified at least three-fold while in this new form. It should be noted however, that if these enhanced attributes of the Nova-powered being are extensively utilized, then it will leave the user drained for some time and, like Toa Power, Nova energies cannot be recharged if they are fully expended.
Now, feel free to discuss this proposal in this thread and then vote.
All in favor vote "AYE".
All opposed vote "NAY" with an explanation.
The two-hundred-sixty-fifth article proposed by Koji is as follows:
Koji hereby proposes that within "The C.I.R.C.L.E. Universe" there exist extremely rare artifacts known as "Soul Stones", which are roughly the size of a Toa's fist.
When someone dies with a Soul Stone in their possession, their final thoughts are transcribed within a psychic field surrounding the object. Thus, when another being takes possession of the Soul Stone, they can hear the thoughts that were carved therein, and can therefore carry out the last wishes of the deceased.
Now, feel free to discuss this proposal in this thread and then vote.
All in favor vote "AYE".
All opposed vote "NAY" with an explanation.
The two-hundred-sixty-sixth article proposed by Zorrakh is as follows:
Zorrakh hereby proposes that within "The C.I.R.C.L.E. Universe" there exists a type of pathogen known as the "Vahi Nix Virus" (VAH-hee NIHKS VIGH-ruhs), which is a fast-replicating, microscopic machine created by Makuta Xarkhan and has only been known to have been released in the Dome of Marak Nui.
"Vahi Nix", when translated, means "no time" because it only take a few seconds to be infected and killed by it. The pathogen is glowing orange in color and is programmed with Rahi-like behavior in terms of savagery, yet is cold and calculating in terms of strategy. The purpose of the virus is to exterminate all life within the Matoran Universe and thereby claim the entirety for Makuta Xarkhan. The Vahi Nix Virus possesses a hive mind and is capable of constructing complex strategies on its' own. Its' basic function is to replicate by devouring metal, dissolving all non-metal materials, and creating life-size combat units to kill sentient beings, such as Toa or Vortixx. The machines, when in a large groups, can manipulate themselves to shape hands to grab objects or beings, or morph themselves into whatever form is required. They have been shown to be immune to water, as well as to extreme temperatures, although not to fire itself.
If a viral machine makes contact with the metal armor of a living being, it swiftly eats away at the metal and uses the material to replicate itself. The Vahi Nix Virus then enters the circulatory system and rapidly dissolves any tissue that is in its' path, causing excruciating pain to the host creature. Latching itself onto the skeletal structure of the victim, information is then collected and downloaded concerning the anatomy of the being. The machines then decipher the strengths and weaknesses of the species and begin making modifications, usually adding extra limbs with razor-sharp blades on the end. After completely taking over the body, the skin and organs of the host burst, killing them, but leaving behind essentially a metal skeleton, made up of Vahi Nix Virus, known as a viral unit. The produced result's information is dispersed to the rest of the hive and then can be replicated by other viruses. The outer surface of machines that have replicated within a host into a viral unit, harden, and are no longer sentient. The head no long resembles its' host and usually possesses three prongs with a blade on each prong. In the center of the head is a single eye composed of sentient viral machines, and are essentially the "brains" of the whole creation. Through this eye or through blades, the unit is capable of flinging Vahi Nix Virus at their targets with high rates of speed, infecting them as well. Destroying the eye disables the viral unit and it simply reverts back into individual viral machines, seemingly turning to dust. The particles are offline until they are reactivated by the touch of other active viral machines.
The viral units created are called "Phantoms" by the residents of the Dome of Marak Nui because they are essentially ghosts, shells, or copies of the living hosts they infected. While the Vahi Nix Virus is capable of infecting all forms of life within the Matoran Universe, there are five basic units that are massed-produced by the hive. The Toa Marak have given them code names.
It is unknown why there are only five, not six, basic viral units, due to the fact that Makuta Xarkhan is obsessed with the number three or anything thereby divisible. It is also unknown why the hive does not create its' own designs for combat uses or otherwise.
- "Drone" - Created from a Fikou Spider. The work force of the viral machines, they possess tremendous strength for their size and can lift objects many times their own weight. They can produce web crafted from sentient machines that are used for many purposes, including for workers to walk across, to wrap around extremely heavy objects to be lifted, or for defensive purposes. While they are not made for combat, they can fight viscously if need be.
- "Hunter" - Created from a Visorak Spider. The backbone of the hive's army, they are even more savage and swift than their hosts, the Visorak. Their feet are extremely sharp and are used for close combat. Like the Drones, they can produce a sentient web.
- "Predator" - Created from a Tarakava. They are extremely fast amphibious units for their structure. Usually used as infiltrators, they can use their tails to wrap around victims and crush them, or as a whip.
- "Scavenger" - Created from a Pteraax. Although a bit scaled down in size, they are the air force of the hive. They are lightweight and use their claws, sharp wings, and tail to cut and infect living beings.
- "Knight" - Created from a Toa. They are called knights because the Toa Marak wish to honor their brethren who lost their lives to these units. They are capable of climbing both vertical and horizontal surfaces and are the most difficult to spot.
Now, feel free to discuss this proposal in this thread and then vote.
All in favor vote "AYE".
All opposed vote "NAY" with an explanation.
The two-hundred-sixty-seventh article proposed by Koji is as follows:
Koji hereby proposes that within "The C.I.R.C.L.E. Universe" there exists an innate parasitic genome, buried deep within select beings upon their creation, known as the "X-Force".
When the X-Force matures within its' host, it changes their entire body, as well as their innate powers, transforming them into more beast-like forms in the case of particular species, such as with Skakdi, or into more powerful evolutionary stages of their species, such as with Kraata or Matoran. If a Makuta is created and has the X-Force within them, then the creation of Kraata will likely pass the trait on, meaning subsequent Rahkshi are more evolved as well, both in terms of armoring and their pilots.
The X-Force also triggers modified forms of the host species' natural powers. For example, a Skakdi will often gain a new vision power, or even evolve into a Sansta-Skakdi, meaning they can utilize their affiliated element on their own. On the other hand, a Rahkshi or Toa may gain a second, or in rare instances even a third, new power related to their innate elemental powers.
Eventually the X-Force will drive its' host insane, and though some may learn to handle it, many simply die from its' overwhelming power.
Now, feel free to discuss this proposal in this thread and then vote.
All in favor vote "AYE".
All opposed vote "NAY" with an explanation.
And with that said, I open this thread up for discussion on the various articles for the proposed enhancement of our group structure and joint storyline.
Please be sure to vote on all seven articles in this thread.
Also, note that this discussion and the corresponding voting will end at 1200 PST (Noon in the Pacific Time Zone) on Monday, November 8th, 2010 provided at least 2/3 of C.I.R.C.L.E. members have voted at that point.
Lastly, the C.I.R.C.L.E. members will be notified of the results via the C.I.R.C.L.E. Results Overview & Discussion thread, however, when there are other blog threads where authors can vote on the proposals surrounding the details of C.I.R.C.L.E., that communication will still happen via PM.
Thanks.
