ok, but if we tried to sail there, how would that work?

IC: Jojax-Fort Razorfish;Vaa- Spineless Bay "I'm the Bloody Demon." Jojax snapped back. "I've got a reputation to uphold. Besides," She gestured toward her former foe, her voice softening just a little. "He'll be fine." The Po-Skak had been lifted onto his feet by a couple friends. He brushed them off and took a couple shaky steps towards his weapon before loosing consciousness again and falling on his face. Jojax winced a little bit. "He's a tough guy, he just needs a nap. Skakdi are pretty durable." @Whisper

Ok, some clarification questions. 1. do the people of Mata-Nui know anything about Zakaz? 2. just in case, how does moving between islands work?

IC: Jojax-Fort Razorfish;Vaa- Spineless Bay Just before Jojax's foe could strike her levitating gloves came up from behind the Brown skakdi and grabed ahold of his weapon. They tugged him backwards and onto the ground. Jojax stood up quickly and gritted her teeth. The machinery attached to her mask began to spark and dribble red coolant down the front. She took a quick moment to look around at the crowd, everyone was waiting expectantly. "ARE YOU READY!" She used her enhanced streingth to leap high into the air, bending over to do a backflip in mid-air. Her opponents eyes grew wide, he was definitely not ready for the... "SHOOTING STAR DROP!" Jojax fell from the sky, elbow pointed downward. She crashed into her foe's chest, forcing the air out of his lungs. Before he could react Jojax lifted him up by the waist, upside down, and slammed him into the ground. "BLOODY DEMON PILEDRIVER!" Jojax's foe slumped to the ground, stunned. She grabbed him and lifted him over her head, parading him around in front of the cheering crowd before tossing him aside. The fight was over. Jojax exited the makeshift arena and sat down, wiping sweat and coolant off her face with a towel. She hunched over as her mask deactivated and began to recharge. OOC: Jojax is open for interaction for anyone at Fort Razorfish.

IC: Jojax-Fort Razorfish;Vaa- Spineless Bay Jojax plucked the two ended hammer out of the air and swung it around to hit her foe. Surprusingly, he managed to catch the hamerhead. Wrapping both hands around the staff, the brown skakdi swung his weapon. Jojax lost her grip and rolled across the ground. She got up and got into a crouched stance, the two foes again circling each other. Jojax lunged and her foe swung his hammer. Jojax rolled underneeth the strike and came up to grab her foe by the waist. He flailed, smacking her in the head repeatedly. Jojax began squeezing, locking eyes with her foe, which turned out to be a mistake. There was a bright flash of his vision powers, blinding Jojax, she dropped him and stumbled backwards, trying to rub the spots out of her eyes. The brown Skakdi Acted quickly, lashing out repeatedly with his hammers, battering Jojax's head, shoulders, and torso. slumped over at the edge of the arena. Her foe loomed over her, hammer ready to deliver a finishing blow.

IC: Jojax-Fort Razorfish;Vaa- Spineless Bay From her Seat Zanakra could see the courtyard of the fortress, where a small group had gathered around to watch a game of Sarke. Jojax slowly circled the arena, eyes locked with her foe. The bulky brown skakdi was twirling around a staff with a large hammer on each end, grinning menacingly. Jojax crouched and flexed her fingers, and smiled back. Then she turned to face the small crowd. "You better be ready, it's time to unleash the deamon!" There were a few scattered chears as she turned back to face her opponent . . . who was already swinging. The hammer smacked Jojax in the jaw and she was knocked to the floor, making everyone laugh. The brown Skakdi moved in for another strike but Jojax retalliated with her impact vision, causing him to stumble backwards. She quickly swung out her leg and her foe fell to the floor. Jojax stood back up and raised her hands, basking in scattered applause. Behind her, the brown skakdi was standing back up. She turned around and flicked her hand, and her glove detached and flew across the ring and hit her foe in the face again, caushing him to stumble. With another flick she activated her other glove, which swooped over and grabbed the hammer staff out of her opponents hands. He fell on his face before looking up and scowling. That got a laugh out of the crowd. "Had enough yet?" Jojax taunted. OOC: @Snelly@Whisper @Sparticus147 enjoy the show.

It was their job to organize events, provide equipment and food, and to slow the decay of the structure. When not performing their duties or hosting events the order members focused on physical self improvement.However their members were few, and enthusiasm waned, and eventually the group vanished.

They plan to arrange regular tournaments. There is only one rule, no fighting outside of the Arena. There are many rooms inside the great walls of the coliseum.

Otherwise he tries to be agreeable with others.

How many :Dii are there? I have a character idea of a skakdi who is trying to live up their grandparent's legacy, and I was wondering if it would be ok to make up a skakdi that achived :Dii status.

I'd just enjoy hearing more about the Kaiju. Mechanics, Why you included them, how you designed them, what creatures you considered adding and what they would have done. ETC.

I definentaly think they would be the Same Datrox, or at least that Datrox got cloaned and put into SKE

That's kind of funny, as the games progress there are way more characters but slightly less players. Also, nearly 200 characters, Wow!

Well I'm glad to have you guys here. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help you out! Also @Unreliable Narrator Are there any Riteborn you had planned but we didn't manage to unlock?

How does it feel to be in the real world? Do you have any plans for the future?

Parodn me if I get sappy and philosophical, My heart is beating at 1000 BPM and I'm playing some calming music to try and relax. I'm speaking the kinds of thoughts that rattle around in my head 24/7 that I never really share with anyone. Im impressed with that ending. It was rushed but it was worth it. If I had a time machine I would go back and do it all again, probably try to be even more involved. When I stopped posting as Mazor in SKR I legitimatly thought that I was going to never come back to this website again. But then someone sent me an @ out of nowhere on dischord and I got pulled back in. As the game is ending there's so much more I would like to have done. Especially to explore the mechanics I hadn't been paying attention to. But ultumently I can't go back, and I think I can accept that. I dove into these last few days with all my heart and soul. In a way it was similar to Mazor's Journy, he didn't find peace untill he acepted his destiny. And he got to end the Journy surrounded by friends. I have a Hard time making friends, I spend most of my time alone, but I've come to think of you all as my friends. Something I think about Frequently is the Meaning of Mythology. In modern stories there is offten a "cannon" maintained by a single author or group of creators. This Canon is treated as a gospel, an unalterable text. However, as I've learned about mythology through thousands of Youtube vieos I've come to realize that this idea of Cannon is relatively new, at least as new as the bible. Sure in ancient times the ancients had a general overarching agreement of the major events their pantheons participated in, but the details of the major events were up to the storyteller. It was part of the mythology to change the stories to your liking, and even to use the same characters to tell new stories. There was no concrete cannon. I've begun to treat many of my favorite franchises not as cannons, but as Mythologies. Stories told over and over again by new tellers with new twists. In my mind, looking back, SK E/R/A had heavy themes of the multiverse and the telling of stories. And because of this, I consider this Cycle a perminant part of my personal Bionicle Mythology, and I'm glad I was able to contribute. Thank you to the Game Masters who spent so much time reacting to us, and thanks to all the other players for interacting with me and allowing me to be part of such an amazing story. I'm going to have nostalga about this for years to come. I've got several ideas for art projects in honor of thsi game, but I'm going to try and space them out over the next couple days. With sincerity and Gratitude Jeff (smudge8) P.S. If any acended aspects are still around I'd love to have a conversation.

IC: Jojax-Irnakk's Tooth- VS. IRNAKK!!!!! Irnakk burst forth from the volcano in all his glory and whipped his painful chains out towards his creation. They scratched her skin and didn't do any real damage (this time) but it hurt like the cold fires of Karizahni. "JOJAX MAD TOO!!! YOU NO BOSS JOJAX!!!!" In fury Jojax propelled herself off of the rim where she was standing and lept to tackle Irnakk with her full force.

IC: Jojax-Irnakk's Tooth Jojax paused for a moment, trying to decipher her master's commands. Then she looked at the ground beneeth her feat. "Jojax Fight Mountain!!!!" The masive Kaiju began to turn around. Her long tail loomed over all those still standing on the mountainside. She turned to face back into the volcano and let out another mighty roar before tearing into the mountain with the fury of a thousand toa. tearing up chunks of rock with her claws and throwing them down the mountain side with her Telikenetic abilities.

IC: Jojax-Irnakk's Tooth-Destiny fuffilled As Berys fell his fall was suddenly stopped by a rising wall of scales and metal. Luckily he sustained little more damage than he already had. As the Volcano Erupted A gigantic Purple Tahtorak emerged from the volcano. She had never been so elated in her entire life, or at least she would have been if she remembered her past life, but that didn't matter It was still the happiest moment of her new life. She threw back her headlet out a terrifying bellow of power accompanied by a mental blast that would give everyone except her master Headaces. Berys slid up between her eyes and grabbed onto her frill. Everyone in the area of Irnakk's Tooth heard one overwhealming message broadcast into their minds. "JOJAX WANT FIGHT!!!" @BULiK

It's 11:00 for me and I need to get some sleep, so I probably won't get to make many posts, I'm just going to drop this here and go right to posting as her. Name: Jojax Breed: Tahtorak Faction: (Same faction as whoever is in charge Brief Description: Jojax is a large muscular purple tahtorak Background: Flaws: Jojax is extremely brash and bloodthirsty, constantly wanting to fight and rarely showing caution. Jojax’s only memories are of a desire to defeat her foes, as such she constantly desires to fight. Jojax’s neck around the collar is soft, allowing for greater flexibility but providing an excellent target. Jojax is incapable of speech, but she can somewhat mitigate this with her psyonic abilities All beings in the same Hex as Jojax feel her thoughts in the back of their minds, causing them to become more willing to fight. This effect isn’t very strong on sentient beings, but it causes rahi to become extremely bloodthirsty. Powers: Jojax has a mastery of Psyonics, which lets her use Telekenisis, summon wild rahi to aid her, cause headaches in her opponents, and speak mind to mind in crude sentences. Jojax is completely immune to psychic attacks. Jojax is capable of issuing a compelling roar that briefly stuns an individual target. Any being not of Kaita power or greater becomes terrified of Jojax upon hearing this roar and must overcome their own fears and nightmares or remain paralyzed. Other riteborn tahtoraks are immune to this terrifying roar.

I'm so glad to see you here Wisper. Are you feeling alright?

IC: Mazor, Irna, and Young Mazor-Kini-Nui "I have some friends to introduce as well." Mazor said. "In fact, I think I'd be much more comfortable if we experience this end while on the ground. I've spend way to much time flying around" Irna nodded, and Mazor grabbed her tightly again, he hadn't carried a person while flying before, and he didn't want to drop her. Together they decended somewhat clumsily towards the ground. As they landed a figure stepped out of the bushes to greet them, "Hey, You're Irna right?" Young Mazor Asked. "Why yes," It was Irna's turn to be surprised, she turned to her friend. "Who is this?" "Well..." Mazor paused. "It's me, sorta." There was a pause, then Irna Laughed, Then Mazor laughed, and soon all three were laughing. It was good, knowing whatever came next they'd be in it together. OOC: and that's a wrap for Mazor and Irna

IC: Mazor-Kini Nui At first Mazor was shocked, but then he acepted it and returned the hug. "I'm sorry. What I did was selfish, I promise we'll stick together from now on." @Void Emissary IC: Jojax-Irnkakk's Tooth Behind Berys, a long pink arm streached over the ledge, folowed by another, folowed by an extremely unhapy Jojax, covered in scorch marks. "You ########## Karzin ########## With a ############# entire island############## tree root #################### Mata Nui's ################################### Left foot################### brakkas brain ######################## missing finger ################################### a nice plate of fresh fish ##################### Gahdunka ########################### your intestines!" @BULiK

IC: Mazor-Kini Nui Mazor breathed a sigh of releaf as the situation diffused, then looked up and around, before spotting a familliar Zyglek Sitting on top of an airship. Mazor swooped over and landed next to her. "Hey Irna," He said excitedly, "How have you been doing?"

Hey Whisper, Congratulations! You might want to go back and read about your past life.

IC: Jojax-Irnakk's Tooth Jojax continued screaming at the airship that had pushed her over the edge. "Your mother is a #####################################################-ing ####### lorem ipsum ############################ Admitumvenium ############################################################### treguna ############ ######################################### hippopotamus ######################################## Republican ################ ###### ############ ########-ing Daniel Radcliffe ######################## ######################### with a bucket of ################################### ####################in a castle far away where no one can hear you ####################################################### soup ####### ########## ################### with a bucket of ########################## ############## Mickey Mouse ############################################### with a stick of dynamite ######################## magical ####### ###################################3 Alakazam!"

Wow, that's pretty bold words for someone who just found out they are fictional, but I still can't think of a reply.
