It's always funny when people insist that no one is allowed to remember things from outside Mata Nui when Staff-played characters and tons of other have.

 

And it's worth noting that there's more then one type of "power".

[Jean Valjean]

Javert, I'm looking up Kethrye's profile right now because I'm thinking of setting up some brief interaction related to the death of the Turaga with my character Nixie.  That character is currently at a place called the Powadi.  It's not described on the front page, so I'm just wondering if you can describe it to me.

 

And with regards to foreign islands, to my understanding it's okay to include them in your backstory, but you never go back to them or include them in the action that takes place in this RPG, since everything IC is on Mata Nui, because that's where the action is.

"Kethrye" and "Fowadi".

 

Also, messages to individual people  belong in PMs, else everyone else starts ranting about it for ten pages.

technically this, but you also aren't supposed to remember it at all, even if you're a skakdi or vortixx

 

because it's supposed to be all mata-nui rawr rawr rawr

[Jean Valjean]

How about I remember the experiences but not the actual places, since the places aren't important to my character's stories?

This is incorrect.

 

It has been stated many times that Skakdi and Vortixx may remember where they came from, but they may only speak of it in vague detail.

I'm thought it's a "You can say lots of it but people will think you're insane" type of thing.

[Norik The Blood Elf]

It's something like tell all you want but no one will believe you and even then you don't rememver much.

[EmperorWhenua]

No, JL, that may be what you thought but it is exactly what was described above. Also, please don't chain quote.

 

There really is no reason to talk about this any longer. The truth was revealed. Carry on.

I find it strange that with the number of Batman fans on this site that the most popular characters aren't Matoran. 

 

24601

 

Well, It varies for every case, I suppose.  For me, 78.26% of my characters (Including concepts, works in progress, etc.) are matoran, while in Gravity's case, for instance, only 16.6666667% of his characters are Matoran.  

 

It just depends on the player, I guess.

Because of the Matoran Spheres and the fact that all the Turaga are dead, nobody remembers Metru Nui, right?

Almost all of my active characters are Matoran, but not because of Batman. I make them because they make you focus more on the character, and because the game is very much lacking in Matoran, who should outnumber Toa and other species.

[The Snark Knight]

It is worth noting, that most people severely underestimate Matoran. Lacking powers does not mean helpless.

 

For reference, see Sulov v. Anyone, Tarnok v. Liacad....... Actually,just look at the Ussalry,

Sulov has a gun and Tarnok is just plain awesome.

 

Your agrument is invalid.

[Jean Valjean]

I might note that I have a ton of Matoran characters, but that's mainly because I think it attracts RPers who are interested in character-driven stories, and it's not necessarily because I'm looking for ways to do really impressive things with them that defy expectation.  They have a lot of spirit, and they're more immersed in the regular culture of Mata Nui than the Toa are.

 

Oh, and Otter, bring it.

[Toa Of Virtues]

I have returned! I'm gonna need to catch up on what happened since I left. I am scraping a bunch of my characters, and starting fresh. Except for Mambo. If anyone else is interested in wraping up the skanohi plot or taking over a character, pm me. So before I start RP-ing again, can someone give me a brief rundown of what I need to know?

[Constructman: Black Knight]

All six turaga are dead, Wanderer's Company is finding the last stone, Joske Nimil has started a quest to find all of the Crystals of Virtues, The Four Peers are sitting around plotting their next move, that's about it.

[Toa Of Virtues]

Alright then, so becides all the turaga dead, there's not much non-staff plot characters would know about?

[Constructman: Black Knight]

I don't believe so...

[Jean Valjean]

Well, we know that the Turaga are dead.  Or at least, your character will inevitably find out, unless you intentionally avoid it for the fun of creating someone who's terribly behind the times.

 

As for Joske Nimil, I don't know.  I'd have to look into that, but perhaps the quest involves a collective effort of team mates.

[Toa Of Virtues]

Ok, mambo is pretty behind times (since he has been lost in Ko-koro wandering the wastelands for some time now). But the next character I'm making would know.

 

Who wants some interaction in Le-Wahi?

Edited by Toa Of Virtues, Jan 03 2013 - 01:11 PM.

[Jean Valjean]

I have a character in Le-Wahi, but she's currently on teh shores and probably heading to Ta-Koro to see the place where Vakama died.  However, last summer I had a character written as heading toward Le-Wahi, but I never completed the journey.  Apparently, he gets lost real easily.  But then, he's from off the island, and I don't think he would know about the turaga dying yet, though he will pretty soon if I start using him.  Go to the profile pages and look up Laryn.  There are two characters by that name; the one that's in my post is mine.  Hopefully he looks like something you'd be comfortable with interacting with.

 

Actually, forget the search.  Here's a plain old link to my character sheets.  Halfway down is Laryn, underneath "Individual Toa".

Were you there when Sulov threw nui-rama?

 

Were you there when Sulov punched a muaka?

 

Were you there when Sulov KO'd an armed vortixx?

 

No?

 

Because he didn't have a gun for any of that. And came out on top each time.

 

Your argument, dear Gravy, is invalid.

How'd that turn out.

 

 

Anyway, I don't like it when people think Matoran are powerless... Okay, they are powerless in the sense that they don't have any powers, but still!  The little guys always win.

 

Because they're all awesome.

 

ya'll know it too

[EmperorWhenua]

Becaaaaause they're Batman. : D

Especially since they can have tech next year (err, technically this year, next year as in BZPRPG 2013), right?

Now, let's just see how long it takes for someone to make THE MATA NUI-CONDEMNED BAT-MATORAN!

Oh wait we were talking about Sulov weren't we.

*runs off to edit*

But yeah, anyhow, the WC in general just seems to have a thing for single-handedly beating up Muaka.

[Constructman: Black Knight]

Yeah, good thing Mata Nui doesn't have PETA.

Also, to anybody who's in Ko-Koro, there's an injured Anzaros playing a bugle call in the Sanctum. Help please?

[EmperorWhenua]

It would be logical that there was a rush of people into the Sanctum right after Brykon fled. It's not like Thliveros has been alone in the sanctum for a day.

you're mean to me and you never show up anymore >:c

 

Anyways, Sulov is one of those characters who is just plain awesome the majority of the time. Especially when he's with Reorrrrtin.

[The Snark Knight]

It's disappointing how few Matoran there are outside of the Wanderer's Company. And even more disappointing that most of them are never used to their potential.

 

Because Matoran do have advantages, both in combat and out. Besides, they're rife with development opportunities.

[Toa Of Virtues]

I just made two new matoran, twins. Should be interesting.

[Voutok S'Tythe (Ray)]

Indeed. If I could use Voutok to his full potential, he'd (logically) be able to hold his own against most rahi and maybe even a few lower-tiered Toa with nothing but two chakram-I mean "bladed kanoka discs" and near-solid reflexes. Gotta love that amped-up De-Matoran hearing. Nuff said. =3

This. Which is why I love RPing Verdi- he's awesome, he has potential, and he has many development opportunities.

[Strong Arm BioBeast]

I'm now thinking about having my Matoran character fight Echelon, just to prove that Matoran can actually take down much more powerful foes.
