Timageness Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 That could be explained away by just saying that he's the last one and Makuta had the rest of them killed off, but we are talking about a character who we're probably never going to see again, so it wouldn't really matter if he was one or not anyway.

Nato G Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I think he's probably dead. If he were alive, I assume he would have showed up again by now. The staff seem to generally prefer using original characters rather than adding lots of canon ones, the Piraka being an obvious exception.

Voxumo Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) Yeah, if we start adding fancy things like PCs with light or shadow powers or high fantasy stuff likes demons, angels and elves. The game would surely suffer from it. Thus why it's never been done. Well... we do have valkyr, which are kind of some weird reject angel thing.

Endless Sea (Alaki Nuva) Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I don't want Av-Matoran to be playable, really- that's OP as heck, among other things. I would like to see one show up as a plot-relevant, staff-controlled NPC or something, though. Even if he or she only ends up being a glorified plot coupon or something. This island has enough beings of Darkness already. It could use just a touch more Light. It is not for us to decide the fate of angels. Dominus Temporis, if you're out there, hit me up through one of my contacts. I've been hoping to get back in touch for a long time now.

Nato G Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) We might have had a Toa of light, once. I remember reading it on the wiki.

Nato G Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Right. This game has been running for how many years now, and there's only ever been one character with light-based powers, and he only had it for one battle. I think that says a lot about how the staff view the use of that particular element.

Banana Gunz Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) But... Matoro died in canon as well. My point is that in the original canon, he died a hero. He made a noble sacrifice that touched me, and inspired me to strive to be a hero myself in the real world. As a character, he stood for so much and did something so honorable and selfless, words can barely describe it. In the RPG, he was treated and just died like any other character. True, he was put in a higher position of government, but I honestly can't really see him as being that type of leader. To me I always saw him as a hero, and if was to die deserved to die a hero's death.

Nato G Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Uh... maybe... sorry about that. I'm just starting to get kind of sick of people talking about how something should be added to the game, or there's something they don't like about the game, or they wished something had happened differently - based on canon.

Banana Gunz Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I'm not trying to vouch for something to be made canon, I'm not asking for anything to be changed, all I want to do is make a statement on what Matoro meant to me. The RPG has every right to treat his character however they like, I just personally disagree with it. In this world, there is a lack of appreciation for hero's. Hero's live the hardest lives out of anyone, and though Matoro may be fictional, I believe that he still deserves a respect and understanding for who he is (Not worship, appreciation and worship are two different things). When I was young and cracked open the first comic of 2007, I didn't understand or know anything about Bionicle; I didn't know who the characters were, which side was good or evil, anything. But when I got the issue of Matoro's death, that comic changed me and started to pull me into adulthood, because it gave me the example I needed to understand what true hero's, true good, and true self-sacrifice meant. Those who cannot appreciate their hero's don't deserve them, even if they get them anyway, because that's just who hero's are. 2 tumblr: it's a lovely place to be if you've gone madflickr: mah yummy gross pics mmmPew Pew Pew Pew Pew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghosthands Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Introducing Nalano, First Son of Clan Ageru. I'll be playing him as an NPC as part of the events I have planned for the Ageru clan. Speaking of which, Kilanya's court is about to be convened to discuss the current situation in the Empire and what actions the clan should take. If you've got a character of high enough status within the clan (at the moment I can only think of two of you) you're welcome to attend. If you don't, but you'd like to make a high-ranking Ageru, please feel free to PM me so I can approve their rank within the clan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makuta Miras Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 What I would do would be to make them just like Matoran of any other element; their powers would only manifest in small ways, instead of by being able to SHOOT BOLTS OF LIGHT/SHADOW. In fact, there's no need for any of their special abilities, seeing as so far as we know, Av-Matoran were never prototypes for other Matoran.

Krayzikk Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Light and Shadow Matoran simply are't going to happen, nor are they going to be Roman. The Dasaka were a way to introduce something new and different, as well as bring back powers that people had missed, and one that was not quite as successful as we'd hoped. There are a lot of reasons for that, but needless to say their successes and failures will color what is to come. Not Av- or Kra-Matoran, though. That's not going to happen. Light and Shadow are two very fundamental forces, even more in the BZPRPG universe than in the canon one. We've had only six Toa of Shadow and all were created from the original Mata, even though only the Maru know this. Heuani, one Toa of Shadow, was such a destructive force that players challenged him in waves and never did enough damage to justify the lives lost. Only one PC ever even remotely injured him, and it was using methods that aren't even allowed for use anymore because the staff realized what ramifications they had. TL;DR Light and Shadow won't happen. They're too important, and removing the aspects that make them important remove the entire point for their inclusion. 5 On this eve, the thirtieth anniversary of that first colony, many are left to wonder; is the world fast approaching a breaking point?
