Umm... yeah. this is the review topic for my new Epic, Independence. Hope you like it.
-
This shall be the review topic for my humble little story that will never see the light of day beyond it's initial status on the comedies feed. Anywho, this review topic shall be used for discussion and idea submission purposes. By submission purposes, I mean adding a character into the story. It doesn't just have to be Bionicle. It can be Galidor, Ninjago, Ultra Agents, Hero Factory, you name it. My only criteria for that is that they have to be official sets. You can make submission for original characters if you want, but preexisting characters are far more likely to have a cameo or role in the story. Adios. -
The Spherus Magna Chronicles is an attempt at continuing the main Bionicle story, continuing from where The Yesterday Quest and The Powers That Be left off. I can only hope you guys enjoy. -Jack

A Tale from the Halkenverse <STORY TOPIC> Greetings there, fellow members of BZP! You may know me from the RPG Front as "That guy who makes his characters pull off stupid stunts that may get them killed", but I'm fairly certain you know me better as Dr. Medic. Now, This here Epic in particular is the backstory to Fission, one of my Bionifight Infinite characters. This is a story about how he became the Toa of Nuclear power he is today. Updates will come periodically, or occasionally, depending on how motivated I feel on certain days. So anyway, the first chapter is a kind of "Cold opening", one that doesn't explicitly tell us about the characters or intentions, but sets the tone for the story, and establishes a setting. Much more will be revealed in the next part, where things get interesting... Comments, Criticism, Compliments, etc. are welcome! This story is purely non-canon. Any resemblance to any canon characters is purely a coincidence The Halkenverse was created by Xaeraz, expanded upon by Click, Nato, Ehksidian, and many others Bionicle Gen.1 © the LEGO company, 2001-2010

This is a topic to discuss my epic Spirit of the Mata Nui. Share your thoughts and critism here. It is also your place to contribute to the story. You basically create a character like if you registered in RPG. Give it appearance, element, powers, weaknesses, bio and so on. Then you let me to get it into story and do anything with it without your further control. Before you do so, please read those rules: 1. Never post anything into epic's main topic. Registration goes into review topic (here). 2. Once you create a character, you have no control over it. 3. Character can become main protagonist, antagonist, be a peaceful villager... That's up to me. 4. Each person has currently limit of 3 characters. 5. Allowed species (limit per person in brackets) are Matoran, Turaga, Toa, Skakdi and Rahkshi. 5a. Number of Matoran is not limited (unless it don't exceeds overall limit). If Matoran becomes Toa, it does not count into your Toa limit. 5b. Turaga mainly help Matoran to progress in story. Only one Turaga per person. 5c. Only one Toa per person. As Matoran will play biggest part of the story, I suggest to not use Toa at all. 5d. Skakdi can be good, evil or neutral. Max 2 Skakdi per person. 5e. Rahkshi are not those smart Rahkshi, don't expect Corpus. Max 2 Rahkshi per person. 6. No too much overpowered characters. No modern technologies. Not even pistol (use Kanoka launchers (or something) instead). 7. Use common sense when creating your character. 8. Characters don't have to be all equal. This is not an RPG. 9. Character might or might not be included in next chapter released after its registration. 10. Do not ever role-play in review topic. Create character and fly away. Character sheet Name: Use common sense. Species: Explained above. Alignment: Matoran, Turaga and Toa are always good, Rahkshi is always evil and Skakdi can choose. Element (if not Rahkshi): Any of six main elements and light for Matoran, Turaga and Toa. If light Matoran, also choose what it is disguised as. Every element for Skakdi (including secondaries and shadow). Variation (if Rahkshi): Include Stage (1-6 allowed). Use these tables. Gender (if not Rahkshi): Can choose for Matoran, Toa, Turaga and Skakdi (does not depends on element here, can't be neutral). Personality: Self-explaining. Rahkshi has limited personality, but are not entirely dull. Appearance: Self-explaining. Include weapons if any and Kanohi if Matoran, Toa or Turaga. Powers and weaknesses: Can lift 5 Matoran at once, fears water and so. Bio: Be brief, so it is easy for me to get it into the story.

The following is my thoughts on the 2015 Fantastic Four movie, which do have spoilers from the movie. So if you plan to see it for some reason, don't read this until you do. (Unless you don't care, then by all means read it. )

Greetings, lovely readers of my story! First off, thank you for reading. Second, this will be a topic in which can allow you to discuss the story or anything related to the epic in general. Know that I heavily appreciate audience input. If I'm doing something wrong, let me know. If there's something you want to see, there's a slight chance that I might insert that into the story. Good day!

Hello there! I'm not new to the site, but I'm new to writing epics. My epic can be read here. Please leave me any feedback, feel free to interpret things, give me ideas (no promises I'll use them), and whatnot. -
Hello, guys! Just today I've got my hands on the new Bionicle summer wave polybag. I think It's going to be available worldwide soon, so get ready. So here it is, evil, villainy, skull-grindery! The front of the bag shows the set itself with this poster-like paper (I assume it's not cardboard) underlay and a cardboard stand with mask support sticking out of it. The gold Skull Grinder mask looks epic and dark. It actually seems like the mask has copper tint in it. The top left side of the bag says that it has 13 pieces inside. No set number though. Finally, the back shows us the set number. It's 5002942. So, inside the bag we have a booklet, a... poster(?) folded in triangle, three pieces of mask stand and a bag of Lego pieces (including the mask) Illuminati confirmed? The triangle thing actually unfolds into... hexagon! That's unexpected. The "bottom" shows MoCr with Grindy eyes on the back. Nothing new. On the upper side we can clearly see the place where the stand should be. The booklet contains the instructions to both stand and mask support. The paper of the stand is soft to the touch, but sturdy. The green highlights on the long piece is slightly metallic. A bag of parts. I don't see anything new except for the mask. As I've said the mask looks epic and dark. The support looks exactly like the support fo MoCr. Thе mask doesn't hold well on the stand. It's a bit wobbly, but... ...if you force the mask a bit more into the support, it'll fix well. This is how you suppose to keep the stand on your shelf. It's a bit weird to me. I hope you enjoyed the review! Bye!

http://www.bzpower.com/board/topic/19549-gold-and-bones/ Hello! I'm a LONG time fan of Bionicle, and with this new generation, I wanted to try and mix the two generations we knew and loved. The villains I am going to try and keep the same, while the Toa I try to find a healthy medium between the personalities and powers we knew before, and the ones we are being introduced to! I'll be adding the other chapters to this story as I get the time (from managing college and life and such.) If anyone has any comments or suggestions, I'm open to them!

I picked this set up a couple days ago, and since BZPower hasn't reviewed these yet, I figured I'd take the jump on them and do one first. Will this set carry you and your dreams to the clouds? Or is it best left grounded? The Box The box is just as you'd expect. Some decent artwork showing off the set and all its contents. It's made of that same thin paperboard stuff we're so used to by now. The back shows off more of the same, as well as the lineup of all six Aijitzu Flyers. Contents Within the container, you will find a single bag of parts, one propeller, and one ripcord, as well as an instruction booklet. There's a decent variety of parts. For a set like this, though, the function is meant to outweigh the pieces. As such, it doesn't have a very good piece-to-price ratio, but it does contain this variation of Morro, which is only available in one other (very expensive) set. Morro comes in his ghost form here. We see him in the original ninja suit, though in green this time, and wearing Lloyd's symbol. The back has printing, and it features his Japanese-style symbol. His head has only one face, though. The set also includes a few weapons, most interesting of which is the new shuriken mold. The blades are slightly curved, and the handles are decorated like the katana handles. These are my favorite piece here! Building process The building process is fairly straightforward and simple. You build the minifig, build the handle, and click the spinner together. And then you're done! Playability There's not much to say about this. You put the minifig in the dome, and you send it flying. With the spinners, you had a game you could play with them. I suppose this time around, you can take yours, and have a friend launch their own, and see whose goes farthest. Beyond that there's only so much you can do with them. I did take mine out to the local school playground, and I discovered that it holds up fairly well against being dashed against the pavement (oops ). So, they're definitely durable, which is a plus! Final thoughts All in all, I like the concept here. For the figure, I think this is a good buy. It's nothing too special, but if you want something fun to take outside during the summer months, this is definitely a decent purchase at only $10. Well, I hope you enjoyed my first review, and hopefully I'll get around to doing more in the future.

Much better than I feared, not as good as I'd hoped. Major props to the art department of the film, the movie looks great and the CGI was really well-integrated. Scenes where characters and dinos were interacting in closeups looked really nice and it actually felt like an actual creature was there and getting touched, not just a green-skinned thing that was replaced later. I think some animatronics were used, but it's hard to tell. The premise of the new bad dino is also cool, turning living creatures into products to be marketed and focus-group tested. The Raptor-Squad was a very cool idea as well, but depending on how much you're willing to suspend your disbelief, you might be disappointed or think its silly. In the end, the moral remains the same though: Don't mess with nature. I was hoping for a Jeff Goldblum cameo and him going "How many times do I have to tell you 'I told you so'?" but no luck there. Which is also where the downsides start: The plot is very predictable, especially if you've seen the trailers. It's pretty obvious after the first 15 minutes who will live and who is dino-grub, with one exception IMO. While the characters are likeable, especially Chris Pratt as Owen, brothers Zach & Gray and of course Dr. Wu, the rest are not quite as interesting. Pictured: The deepest relationship in the movie. The other thing that bothered me a bit was the comedic relief. In the end nearly every action-scene was followed up with a funny one-liner or reaction. The first movie had those scenes too, but the difference was that the characters were playing it straight and in character in that film; here it feels forced because there is just way too much of it, which takes away from the suspenseful scenes and a lot of times feels out of place considering the situation the characters are in. Overall I really like the movie. It's a fun 2 hour adventure film, but if you prefer to wait until it comes out on DvD/stream, you're not missing anything by not seeing it in cinemas. I would rate it equal or a little higher than Lost World, definitely better than 3 but not as good as the original. There can only be one king after all

Author's Note After finishing the BZPRPG's 2012 arc, I looked over my performance. It was a drastically varied season. I had many moments of decency and mediocrity in my writing, but there were also multiple moments of deplorable ignominy (the Castle, the Hospital) and a few wild successes (Naara, Wrath). My status dovetailed in sporadic spikes--it dropped like a stone when reprimanded by staff, only to rocket when those same staff granted me unique opportunities. One of my greatest successes, and definitely my greatest opportunity, was Sulov. Sulov went from a failed hero who couldn't coordinate six men to beat one Toa to an heir of the greats who punched evil with a shovel. His character similarly grew from the Dude Who Does His Duty to a man torn between love and practicality, struggling to satisfy both with mixed success. People seemed to like it. Initially, these things pleased me. However, when I re-read the writing of Sulov, I found a glut of flaws. Sulov was vastly inconsistent between early self and late, and even in the increments of change between both, disparities were often found. Further, he was overstuffed with themes; when I looked over my ICs, they often touched upon dozens lightly but on too few deeply. Combined, these problems created a bigger, more blatant one: Sulov's development was too big for the time in which it took place. Neither I nor my readers couldn't reconcile 2011 Sulov Koskium with 2013 Sulov Maru. Rather than change what has already been written, I'm going to present a new context for both of them: the six-month transition from one to the next. "Ascending Down" is the journey from Makuta to Hiemalis in several days. Those serve as prologue and epilogue, which string together a middle of select days between. The aim is not to show the most important events through its time period--though there will be some events with clear, prominent repercussions--as much as some of those days which marked nudges toward monumental change. This is the story of bygone changes' effects and inchoate changes' causes. Hopefully, it will join the Sulovs of past and future. A final note on the style: "Ascending Down" is written in third-person limited, present tense. This combination of point of view and tense is a combination of early Sulov (third-person limited, past tense) and late (first-person, present tense). It also creates objectivity while remaining current and fluid. In this way, I've tried to represent a point of view more appropriate to a story that follows its protagonist, and also one that I may use for said protagonist in the future. Also, chapters are titled with their day of the period (Makuta's defeat being 0) to represent the moments in time. Happy reading and critique below.

Greetings, BZPower community. Let's say obvious things first. This is the review topic for my very first "epic", given that I do not like to have it called this way. The first on this forum, at least. And the first in english. The interests section of my profile is empty, but I will tell you now: I write. A lot. I dream of becoming a professional writer one day. I have already completed a novel, am working on other two (one of which is co-authored), and many short stories. All of this in italian of course. Since I am italian (well, how unexpected). I have been thinking about a Bionicle novel for quite some time now, and had a very precise idea of a total re-imagining of the G1 universe, already before Bionicle's return. Then something changed. I received inspiration. A massive surge of inspiration. The original project I had in mind? Completeley scrapped (I still have the notes for it, anyway). I was so dang inspired that I began writing on this new 'novel' right away, even when I should be working on my other works. So, here we are. It'll be interesting to develop a novel in english rather than in italian. And because of this, I do not assure that what I write is grammatically or sintaxically correct. Feel free...more free than ever to point out mistakes of the sort. What else. Oh, right. I do not know the rate at which I'll be updating this. In general I have plenty of free time (unless I find a job these days, but I don't have many hopes for this...) and, for the moment, I have the second chapter ready (in mind, still not written) and part of the third. And this is it. The epic/novel/whatever you want to call it

Premise: During the events of Voya-Nui, the current chronicler, Kopeke, had been instructed by Turaga Nuju to seek out any information that could be added to the Wall of History. While rummaging through an old forge in Ta-Metru, he comes across a tablet, revealing tales of horrible tragedies and sacrifices that have come about this island of Metru-Nui and neighboring islands. With turmoil residing both in the history explained in the tablet and in the present, this story is packed with the happenings of what could have occurred in the story of BIONICLE. Story link Author's Notes: I had this idea in my head for a little while so I'm glad I finally found an outlet to release it in. I'll be releasing each chapter probably every couple of days. I have some chapters already written but I don't want to release them all at once. I would rather release them at a steady rate, giving me enough time to work on the next one. Also I'm constantly rereading them and trying to catch any errors I might make in the story. I rarely write anything in a serious style (Or write at all) so this is somewhat newer territory. In regards to the story itself, I have the major events in the story all written out, all I need to do is just expand it. I've included in this story several hints to characters or events in the official BIONICLE storyline that never really were expanded on. Those who can identify them, kudos to you. I've done quite a bit of research as well so I think I've arranged the story to be able to actually fit into the official storyline. As I release more and more of the chapters I'll probably expand on some of the other stuff I've added that I thought were interesting subjects to include. I also tried my best to mix real characters with made up characters, we'll see how well that turns out. So, I hope you enjoy the story I have written. I'm open to comments, critiques and criticism. ~Soran
