Mr. Coffee Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I have a question. I am all for making the universe more organic, but was any thought given to how families work? All reference I could find is for the lesterin <-> Toa couples. And since Anthyn disposed of the only other source of material on the topic in a rather spectacular fashion, I am left with not enough data. What I need is a toa mother for a matoran character and I ain't sure if there is a precedence. The way I see it there are two approaches to this: 1) rule of cool. Works every time, but doesn't make sence2) Pseudo science. Toa are really the root of all problems. For the sake of simplicity, let's leave out vortixx and skakdi and mark them as incompatible, and let's declare turaga 'too old - do not want'.What happens if Toa gets pregnant? Is the kid matoran or toa? Because if the latter, the whole destiny thing goes down the drain Against that is however the lesterin entry, that says a result of such pairing is either a lesterin or Toa. One of those needs changing for it to make sense imho. === COFFEE GUZZLER ===BZPRPG profiles-Chronicles of Tara-Ascension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmperorWhenua Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Toa (and Matoran) should -not- become pregnant. There's a very good reason I had Emotia disposed of and everyone involved with her pregnancy became convinced that it was overall a bad idea. This issue of conjecture shouldn't be an issue at all.

BenLuke Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 From the Rules topic itself: Q: How "realistic" should I be? And should it be earth realism or BIONICLE realism?A: In this game, we generally stick to the official canon, though there are exceptions like giving characters for "human" traits (ie. ingesting food, reproduction). That being said, both "realisms" are okay, because the whole point or realism is really to just make things fair for all players. It's also a good idea to take a look at Friar Tuck's Guide to Common Sense on subjects of earth-realism and keeping things fair for everyone. So, in other words, EW's wrong and Toa/Matoran can, presumably, get pregnant. That's also discounting the fact Emotia was before her unfortunate and hilarious death.

AuRon the champion Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I didn't find it hilarious. I'd rather like to see someone pull that off, just because you worked so hard to prevent that.

CAPUA Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Attention Civilians Hello fellow villains! Are the forces of good getting you down? Do Toa keep on interfering with your schemes?

We invite you to join the Cabal of Cruelty, a place where you can be with your fellow masterminds and schemers! We do not discriminate either for we are an equal opportunity employer!

If you do wish to join, you’re cordially invited to Casterly Rock owned by the honorable and great Laird Destron Vanicus for a feast! For those of you with more cannibalistic tendencies...

That's also discounting the fact Emotia was before her unfortunate and hilarious death. Key word: "presumably." Also note that I didn't say toa can't get preggers, I said they should not. Also, just because something seems okay because it would be theoretically done does not mean it should be reality. Pregnancy in Bionicle is one of those things. It should not happen. Ever. It happened once, yes, but that doesn't mean it should again. I'm not here to argue or debate over this (that discussion shouldn't be done in this circle anyway), but people should know that while we tend to have very human characteristics in the Bionicle setting here doesn't mean a free pass for everything humans can do. Also I will fight this matter if anyone else tries to do pregnancy. Just saying. BZPRPG Profiles / Critical Acclaim / Complaints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those who will likely ask when reading some of my non-RP posts: for me, "*shot*' = "I know that what I said was something stupid and I am acknowledging this before people think I'm serious." Oh yeah, and my current BZPRPG character bio can be found here. "Why...me? Oh yeah, that's right. I'm weak. I'm of a minority, a minority of people with a common trait: we hear too much. And what we're supposed to hear hurts to hear. When I'm alone in a silent room, I can hear a pebble dropping from a mile away. I can hear a motor boat being started up several yards off the coast. A whisper from outside, I can hear as if they were talking right at me. An explosion in another koro, I hear as if it's just outside. Sounds useful, right?""Wrong.""It's a curse, if you ask me. The same pen dropping inside this aforementioned silent room would ring in my ears. If I stood by the same motor, I'd get a headache. The same whisper would ring in my ear like two metal beams being slammed together in front of my face. The same explosion would render me deaf for years...thank the Spirit I thought of getting me something to dampen the noise, or I'd end up like the rest of my kind..." ~Voutok S'Tythe; unknown date, unknown location Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
