Wotz Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Anyway, I'm thinking about making a Parakuka-latched character. How strong are they supposed to be again? Also, do they block elemental or mask powers? Do they have good or bad effects on the character when they are not active? And finally, how insane or reduced in intelligence does a character with an active Parakuka become?1. Very.2. No, their endurance is the same as it normally is.3. After being used the latched individual feels exhausted and stuff.4. That's down to you really, it depends who wins the mental battle at the outset.Or you could, y'know, read this post.

Axilus Prime Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I think Hubert means the max they did there.Anyway, I just thought of an epic character development/sheer awesomeness idea.1.Make Parakuka, a young one.2.Latch Dino.3.Let the RP and interaction with other players run its course and see where it goes. The possibilities are endless.Plus it'd freak the slag out of all the other Aukati too, and lead to their development as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I just get ninja'd....by a post after mine?Also, about Kopakamidaks new profile (the new guy), I thought things like Rhotuka aren't allowed for Toa.Anyways, initiation time.

- JL - Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Well, we're generally assuming that most Koro's aren't just 10 buildings, a master building and a Kolhii field, and stuff. But I don't think they would have had time to create 'city's.I mean, sure, Toa of Iron/Stone/Earth (Ice in Ko-Koro) and Skakdi/Vortixx inventors could definitely help out, but it takes time. I would see it expanding north, south, east and west but not up and down - especially since they haven't really grasped that idea yet.Also, about Ga-Koro....Do we all generally assume it's on lilypads?If so, are the Lilypads anchored to the point where they are practically roads on water instead of, well, plants on water? Because if they were just left there floating, I really don't see how any single small scuffle doesn't sink the place people walk on. In fact, I don't see how matoran can even walk on it. They're 85% metal and they don't cause lilypads to sink, despite lilypads being so...thin.

Wotz Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 If you look at Ga-Koro in MNOLG 2, you can clearly see they aren't just lilypads. The stems are extremely thick, and they won't be collapsing any time soon.Also, just for clarification, I imagine Ga-Koro in the RPG as a combination of the two from the MNOLGs (as in, the MNOLG one connects the the bit where Hahli lives which has a bridge to the MNOLG 2 one).

Ghosthands Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 My personal perspective on the villages is thus:The villages are built in basically the same style as in MNOG I & II, but on a larger scale; several times the size (because the MNOG size was, let's face it, unrealistic - they were barely hamlets). I would say that they still do not qualify as cities.Ga-Koro is a lot more sturdy than you might think. The bridges are obviously connected securely to the main pads. Also, the 'lilypads' are not like real-world ones. They are a lot thicker and stronger, and some of them appear to grow on large stalks.I wonder - Does Ga-Koro have docks?...Is this a joke I'm not getting?

BULiK Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Hubert, what are you planning? An Ussal Train?It's obviously a tank.And does anyone want their character to own a matoran slave gladiator? I feel like making a slave character because I'm too lazy to make my own plots or get into other ones, but a slave character needs a master.

Axilus Prime Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Yeah, the docks were kind of bombarded with cannonballs. Some intact ships are still there, anchored to the part that wasn't hit. After all, the pirates weren't aiming to shoot Matoran or cause random mayhem, but to take down their attackers and get away unscathed with a profit.They just didn't care much if they did hit Matoran.

We would only be going across the island.So why we would need docks, I don't know apart from the facts that certain PC's like Pirate chars would obviously need it to function.

Axilus Prime Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 A dock is to tie up ships. Even in MNOG there were boats and boat docks. Ships are just bigger, allow for combat, and have a whole crew. Sail around the island, engage other ships, stop every now and then for piracy and make a quick escape...while firing big ship cannons.

Look at me pestering everyone to post and then not doing so myself.Also, I've been meaning to ask this: How much, physiologically, are the BZPRPG characters like canon Bionicle characters? A lot of description makes it sound as though they're basically just oddly-colored humans (the BZPRPG characters, not the canon ones). I keep hearing about them wearing human clothes or removing their armor to reveal skin underneath. Am I missing something? My impression was always that if you removed a Matoran's armor, then his/her guts came with it.Yes, that'd probably be true if they removed their "natural" armor. But most wear additional, normal. armor nowadays, like the Toa Nuva. I'm not too sure about the skin though... That seems a bit strange.
