Kelly currently serves as the Editor-in-chief of BZPower's news service (formerly known as Kanohi-Power). Kelly also keeps the board software up to date, and works hard to make the site more interesting for everyone, through well-known projects like the Set Database and the infamous April Fools events.

Andrew finally realized that his bio was horribly out of date and that it needed to be updated.

You may know him as Black Six, or Bossman, if you're a part of the staff. As an Administrator, he runs the day-to-day operations of BZPower and manages the goings-on of the site. He started way back in August of 2001 as a Moderator and slowly worked his way through the ranks before achieving his current position on the top of the proverbial dog pile. It's been a long and interesting journey, and he wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.

When he's not running BZPower, he works as a Computer Engineer for the US Government. When work and BZP don't take all of his time, he listens to a lot of music, occasionally plays videogames, and possibly watches too much TV. He tries to get out every now and then to hang out with his friends from home, college, and, of course, BZPower too - because they're all supremely cool people.

Jon initially served as the Forum Master of BZPower.com, meaning he was in charge of the inner workings of the forum, from its design to the wonderful ranks everyone enjoys, and played a large role in setting policy and enforcing it. However, he has since settled into a more behind the scenes role. Jon now serves as the manager of BZPower's Premier Membership program, Staff Writer for the news section, and has developed into BZPower's official product review person through his series of great reviews he has completed on many different Bionicle products.

She was made an ST amidst somewhat traumatic events. She was further pranked in increasingly strange ways as an ST. She was scared half to death just prior to becoming a moderator. She got pranked the very night she became a moderator. And so on. If she hasn't sought help yet, she really should.

But if you must know, she's not going to go on a crazed screamy rampage anytime soon.

HH is like, this twenty-something girl or dog or something. And like, she may furiously read Bionicle books and swoon over Link, but she won't admit to being a geek. Mostly because she has like a bazillion outfits and talks on the phone everyday. She doesn't like, mind confusing people. She is persistent and like, will do almost anything to make extra money. But people say she's really sweet and nice and never gets angry and stuff. She swears it's a curse. Seriously.

Oh, Bionicle history? Okay, like, one day her little brother bought Toa Mata Pohatu, and wanted her to install the little CD he came with. After an hour or so of clicking, she like, was completely hooked. She's like, been spending money on Bionicle ever since.

She is like, currently studying to be a comic artist. Even though she took this huge course in writing, and has a cute little diploma, she hasn't published anything yet. She appreciates manga, ice cream, bucket hats, Lego (dur), Gail Carson Levine, Nana Kitade, and kittens. She also like, would appreciate her coworkers, but they won't give her coffee. Probably a smart thing. And like, she doesn't really talk like this (often.) Her skills/hobbies include writing, drawing (so she thinks), dancing, playing piano and guitar, traveling, hating work, and like, being hyper.

HH also wants you to know that like, the next Library contest will come out when: It comes out. Arigato.

And her picture is 12 years old. =3

Polo enjoys a variety of things, some including: reading, video games, friends, nice weather, and most things musical. He plays guitars, pianos, trombones, the bass, and on occasion attempts the violin. Polo sings frequently, blessed with a better-than-average bass voice. He can recommend some good music to you if you wish.

Than the Moa has been around for far too long some may say. With almost 6 years of service on the BZP staff he has dedicated a lot of time and effort to the site. He began his career on the staff as a Support Team member in 2004. He was promoted to the ranks of Forum Leaders in 2006 in one of the more classic staff promotion stories. Then in 2009 he was promoted to the position of Global Moderator. He currently is is assigned in New Member Q&A, BBC, General Discussion, and COT. He has built most of his staff career on his work in the New Member Q&A forum, answering questions of members and helping coordinate various help topics in that forum. He is the current Q&A Guru, as well as the current COT RPG Leader, and has been known to co-host/assist a BBC contest from time to time.

In real life Than the Moa is better off known as Nate. He is currently pursuing a Bachelors of Science degree in the field of Computer Science at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire in his 3rd year of schoolwork (Junior). He spends a lot of his free time playing games on his Xbox 360 with Watashi Wa. He also enjoys watching sports like (American) football, college basketball, and baseball. When it snows (which is like half the year in Wisconsin), he sometimes hits up the slopes for some snowboarding. He can also frequently be seen hanging out with his college roommates who have little-to-no clue that he is a Global Moderator on a Bionicle forum.

John, known as Watashi Wa on the forums, joined BZPower on May 29, 2003. After exactly two years of posting and making a name for himself, Watashi was asked to join the ranks of the staff as a Support Team Member. In November of 2008, John was approached by the administration and asked if he would like a position as a Forum Leader after serving as a Forum Assistant for over three and a half years. He gladly accepted the position and now leads the General Discussion forum as well as the BZP Marketplace. In March of 2011, John joined the ranks of the Global Moderators. Whenever he is online, he can most likely be found patrolling his home forum, General Discussion, or browsing through the Blogs. Or nuking your sig.

John attends Auburn University at Montgomery, Alabama, where he is majoring in Information Systems, with a focus on Systems Development. One day, he hopes to make a career out of developing video games, either independently or with a studio. Whenever he is not in class, working, or with his friends, he is usually playing his Xbox 360 (with a current Gamerscore of 82,000+.) while chatting with his good friend Than the Moa over Xbox Live. He enjoys watching action, thriller, or sci-fi movies, reading mystery, sci-fi, or fantasy novels and listening to music, preferably metalcore, hardcore, post-hardcore, experimental, and sometimes acoustic rock. His friends and family take up a large amount of his time because they are so very important to him. For more information on his favorites, feel free to visit his profile.

-Shannara-, or Shannara, or Shanny, or Shan, has been involved with Bionicle since its early days on Mata Nui. Around the time of the appearance of the Bohrok swarms, he discovered a pair of Bionicle websites: Kanohi-Power and BionicleZoneCommunity. He witnessed the merger of these two great sites into BZPower and watched on the sidelines as many Bionicle-Based Creations contests happened. He perused the forums as a guest for some time, before finally joining in March of 2003 to enter BBC Contest #11. Since that day his main love on BZP has been the BBC forum. In the years he has been here, he has entered many of the contests in his forum and even won several.

Shanny is exceptionally proud of promotion to the Support Team (which later became the Forum Assistants) followed later by the advancement to Forum Leader of the BBC. Though the real world often impinges on his activity on the forum these days, Shan keeps up with the Bionicle story and the many BZP goings-on.

Offline, Shannara goes by Jordan.

Wind loves Mahler and Medtner and Dunkin Donuts, and that's all that needs to be known, really.

In his real life, ccso35 is a Deputy Sheriff in Montana (his screen name has to do with that) and lives with his wife and dogs in the middle of nowhere. All though he has more interests than there is room to list here, his main ones include firearms training and maintenance, SWAT, computer forensics, mountain biking, paintball, Lego Star Wars sets and of course everything Bionicle.

He tends to draw things, a lot. He is a Freshman at the University of Central Oklahoma.

Jeremy, or as you probably know by his rather self-loathed alias on BZP, Kex, is really a normal (haha, RIGHT) 18 year old. He enjoys all types of rock music, movies, T.V, video games, and mainly spending time with his friends and family. He is currently anticipating what the future has in store for him.

As far as BZPower goes, he was one of the original (and now obsolete) BBC Assistants, and was eventually promoted to Forum Assistant in August of 2005, and again to Forum Leader in March of 2008. He was offered the position of News Reporter in November of 2008, and now also writes news for BZPower in addition to moderating BBC, Sets, COT, LGD, and BZP News Discussion. He hopes to continue to make BZP a better community while he's here.

Janus is not for sale for $19.95 Canadian, nor is he available at major retailers.

Kopaka's Ice Engineering, whose real name is Byron Foret, hails from southeast Louisiana. He is 26 years old, and received his Bachelor's of Science in Engineering (Civil specialty) from McNeese State University. (He also spent a semester of graduate school at the University of Akron Spring 03.) A registered Engineering Intern in the state of Louisiana, he currently works in the enviromental engineering department at Digital Engineering & Imaging in Kenner, LA, outside New Orleans. At current, Hurricane Katrina not only created a fair amount of work to be done, but also rendered his apartment uninhabitable, which leaves him very little regular free time online.

He is known for being one of the more personable moderators of BZP (when he's around), and one of the most longwinded as well. A favorite motto of his is "You're not as dumb as you think you are, either," and a personal quest of his is to debunk the imposing terminology and jargon of subjects he is familiar with, and share the knowledge with anyone who'd give him the time of day (if he's in a talkative mood). A devout follower of Christ (and not about to accuse anyone else of not being one), KIE (as is his going 'tagline' signature) discovered BIONICLE while on a summer missionary trip in northeast Ohio, and discovered BZ (now BZP) from a link from kanohipower.com. He registered in mid-October 2001 (520th member, according to the original membership roster) and was made a moderator at the end of January 2002. He also holds the distinction of being the first Premier Member of BZ, and, now that Binkmeister (Kelly) is on the administration staff, KIE is the longest-standing Premier Member (technically Premier Forum Leader) as well. Currently KIE moderates the Games/Trivia and Voting Booth forums, being the longest standing moderator in the latter.

He is also bilingual, speaking English and French.

The Forum Leader known as Makaru is a relatively Complex individual. Originally a Blog Assistant, he has also been a Fact Team Member, a Forum Assistant and Blog Leader, often all at once. But now he is simply a Forum Leader. He has started working with the BZPowercast as his radio persona, Maq Daddio as well as his (somewhat complying, somewhat forced) indoctrination into the BZPBand Taped Headphones with McSmeag and Hahli Husky.

In the real world, Makaru is Bryan; a mechanical engineer selling hydronics when he isn't back-country camping in some of the most beautiful places in the world (see above photo) or on XBLive as Maqdaddio in varying levels of fire fighting and portal thinking. Occasionally he dabbles in experimental music and brew-tasting. He is most often seen standing just beyond atmospheric levels, as he is a tall, tall man.

While Bionicle is not the absolute highlight of his life anymore, his interest is ignited again by the 2006 storyline, and MM has resumed writing his epic and is developing several others. Music and art have taken their place in his life, and he is rediscovering his appreciation for family while striving to keep up with the BZP Forums.

Andrew (aka McSmeag) has exceptional taste in music and can recommend good recordings to you.

Addendum by ToM Dracone: Sméag is also one of the most awesome people in the world, but he has been known to have difficulty accepting the fact.

Omi loves you Smeag! :D

Once an ST, now a Forum Leader, but always a loyal BZPower member, Screenguy joined the forums April 29th, 2003. After spending over a year getting to know members, learning more about the Bionicle storyline, and doing his best to keep BZPower a positive place to be, Screenguy was asked to join the staff on October 1st, 2004.

Screenguy tends to spend most of his time on BZPower in the General Discussion, Marketplace Banter, Bionicle Software, Bionicle Collectibles, and Buy/Sell/Trade forums. Off of BZPower, his interests include all sorts of video games, reading classic works, discussing philosophy with friends, writing short fiction from time to time, testing his limited creativity in CGI artwork, and keeping up to date on happenings in the world of technology. Screenguy became interested in Bionicle when it was originally released, retaining interest to this day.

A junior in college, Screenguy is majoring in Engineering (electrical concentration) with a dual minor in Math and Honors. Screenguy does his best to stay active on BZPower while pursuing his academic goals, and looks forward to every break so he can come back and enjoy the forums again. Although academics takes up much of his time, Screenguy is also often found visiting with friends, participating in every church activity he can find, taking martial arts, and enjoying time with his close family.

Having followed BIONICLE since the beginning, SPIRIT really only got into it in March 2002. Some time later, a rogue Google search led him to BZPower, where a few months later, he decided to join in June 2003. Time went by and he eventually got hired to the staff, gradually climbing the digital corporate ladder until he became a Forum Leader and Reference Keeper.

SPIRIT now spends most of his time in the Storyline & Theories Forum, but he has been known to dabble in the Library Forums as well as with the occasional humourous Flash movie. Though he hails from Ontario, Canada, he is currently living in Nice, France where he is studying French for the year as part of an exchange for school.

ToM, also known elsewhere as Tiome or by his real name, Yannick, can be found around BZP mostly in the Library (which he moderates) or the blogs. A writer, artist, and MOCist, he devotes much of his creative energy toward inventing alternate, better versions of storylines and sets he doesn't like. As an ardent fan of 2001 above all other years of Bionicle, this tends to keep him rather busy.

In the real world, he's a sophomore in college in New York (state, thank you). He studies Latin and Greek and has great love for rain and plants, and writes poetry and sings in his spare time. (He lately joined an acapella group specializing in Disney songs. It made his life complete.) He is an ardent feminist and environmentalist, among other things. Lightboards excite him, and when possible he enjoys doing tech work for theater.

He has an unfortunate habit of starting grand projects and never finishing them, a consequence of a lack of free time and too many ideas to bring all to completion. At the moment he's trying his very best to complete a project of adaptive armor Nuva redesigns he started two years ago, for example. One would think he'd have learned to control himself by now, but he just can't help splurging on a bunch of projects at once. But he's gotten better lately.

He is also a devout fan of Gail Collins and Hahli, and would like to visit Le-Wahi someday.

Addendum by Smeagol4: Yannick is the greatest and most adorable person ever

Thanks to time zones, unless you're a night owl or get up with the sun, you probably won't see him working ‘round BZP...but he's there, so don't go spamming up his Forums.

You are Arpy, more often known in real life as Ean (the phonetically correct spelling of how Ian is usually pronounced), and you have decided to do your staff bio in the oft-neglected second person just to be different and also to annoy the sort of people who get annoyed by second-person points-of-view. You are currently entertaining a thought that by writing your bio in this fashion you will convert all who read it to your exact mode of thought, which, as you type, you are now realizing is a fairly unrealistic goal. It's probably for the best, anyway, since you're not sure you'd want everyone to be just like you anyway. Variety keeps things interesting, though there's probably enough of that in your own head that it might not be such a bad idea after all. Beware!

You have been a fan of Bionicle since its release and a member of BZPower for only slightly less time. You enjoy BZP because, in the immortal words of Congressman Wexler, as reported by Stephen Colbert, it's a fun thing to do, and you hope to keep it that way. You have built quite a few MOCs in your day and usually specialize in innovative and offbeat creations. You really do enjoy piña coladas and getting caught in the rain, particularly the smell of petrichor, which is fortunate for you since you live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. It's less fortunate about the pineapples, though, since they don't grow here. Alas!

In addition to Lego and most things related to it, you also read voraciously, write sporadically, act in plays whenever you can get a chance, and are interested in many things besides, the levels of interest in which vary with time. For instance, right now you are hugely into Terry Pratchett, Firefly, Foreigner, and your NaNoWriMo novel, but your interest in those will likely wane as you get through them and discover new things, as has happened before with such items as Nextwave, Douglas Adams, linguistics, Weird Al (with whom you share your birthday), X-Pods, Oscar Wilde, Star Trek, and any of numerous excellent movies and books, all of which you have enjoyed but only a couple of which you have watched or read recently because you are entirely too busy with college after having been homeschooled for the majority of your life, both of which are or were awesome. It occurs to you that run-on sentences are another of your interests, along with spending time with family and friends, helping at church, politely loathing Twilight, and superheroes. Marvel owns DC forever, and you accept this as an immutable truth. Truthiness!

You eventually realize that your interests are too many in number to be reasonably listed and your personal essence too complex to define in mere words, though your grandmother would say you smell like a teenage boy, or at any rate your room does, and leave it at that. You consequently decide to blame Monty Python for everything, especially the møøse, all for no adequately explored reason. The lateness of the hour has only a bit to do with it. You now decide to go drink more Mountain Dew and do your Spanish homework. Huzzah!

Emzee (Emzed is fine too, provided you're a Canadian) is a Forum Assistant watching silently but intently over the RPG, Media, and pretty-much-dead Fan Created Games forums. He is not only one of the leaders of the Official BZPower Roleplaying Game, but he is also the proud founder of Cyan Productions, inspired by discovering BIONICLE fan-games in summer 2002. His work and interest in game development has now grown to the point that he now has a life goal of running a successful game studio one day.

Emzee currently resides in Texas, where he works as a Software Engineer. He is shamefully behind on the video game scene, but he does enjoy a wide array of music genres, his favorite being motion picture soundtracks, and yes, even video game soundtracks. Finally, Emzee also can compose his own (simple) tracks, though he also doesn't get to do a lot of this anymore.

Oh, there is so much I could write.

However, I cannot, for fear of you mind exploding from the sheer magnitude of my evil genius. Therefore, I shall sum up.

Josh, better known as his alter ego Friar Tuck, is the site’s resident evil super genius… though few will care to admit it. Having joined back in 2003 he found his niche in the RPG Forum and remained a loyal player for many years, working his way up the ranks until 2009 when he received his BZP Staff and Bzprpg Host positions. As part of his evil plan he also plays a heavy role in the Library forums, hoping to one day overthrow the government and instate his own rule.

He supplements his talents with a Biochemistry degree from a local college, planning his world domination from Wisconsin, the cheese capital of the world.

HAZMAT joined BZP in 2005. After 2 years of noobishness and bouts of inactivity, he finally became an active member in 2007 when he took on the name HAZ~MAT (which later became ~HAZMAT~ and finally HAZMAT). Haz joined the staff in 2011.

When not on BZP, Erik (omg he has a real name) usually spends his time surfing the net, watching TV, playing video games, and just generally being lazy.

He doesn't know what else to write.

The end.

Alan, or Mysterious Minifig, joined BZPower in January of 2008. After hiding in LEGO General Discussion for about about half a year, he decided that BZPower might be worth his time. He then became a premier member in January of 2009 and an OBZPC in October of 2009. He was promoted to the staff on November 19, 2010.

Alan is an 18 years old high school senior. He was homeschooled his whole life. Since his junior of high school he has been taking college classes at a local university. His favorite subjects are math and science and in the fall of 2011 he plans on heading off to college to pursue a degree in mechanical engineering. His favorite sports to participate in, track and cross country, are probably your sport's punishment.

He got started with LEGO back when he was 7 or 8 when his parents got him the 6713 Grip-N-Go challenge for his birthday and he was interested in Bionicle back in 2001 when it first came out. The other important set to his LEGO development was the Robotics Invention System 2.0. It was because of this set he discovered the LMB, which eventually led him to BZPower.

This is not say Bioncle is Alan's favorite line, because it isn't. He still spends most of his time in LEGO General Discussion, although he no longer hides there. His favorite is probably Arctic, like the minifig in his picture, although he might also say Star Wars or Divers.

Besides LEGO, Alan also has a few other hobbies and activities that he enjoys. He is an Eagle Scout and was boarded in October of 2010, although the court of honor is still waiting to happen. He also enjoys photography, although his skills fail in comparison to those of some other staffers.

After reading through all that, I hope I am slightly less mysterious, but only slightly.

"And I am Javert! Do not forget my name; do not forget me... 24601!" I agree with my good pal Velox that Les Mis is the best thing that ever happened to Musical Theater. Odds are that if you know that play well, I know it better.

Howdy all. I'm Aaron, better known about these parts as Nuju Metru. Yes, lame username, I know. But it's the one I chose when I first came here, so it's the one I've stuck to. I used to be known for my BIONICLE-related art and writing and sometimes MOCing; that's probably how I came to be well-known around here to begin with. Actually, nah, who am I kidding. It's because I posted too much. I was the 20th member ever to get 10000 posts, which is a pretty cool deal, but a hollow one, too. Makes one realize how much time they've funneled away into this site.

I joined BZP in February '08, and since then have given a lot of work towards this site - from posting, to procrastinating, to RPing, to talking with people I do not and most likely never will know in real life. But in any case, since then, I (hopefully) grew and matured a lot, and somehow was given the honor of being offered a staff position. So now I guess I'm here.

What there is to know about me, lesse. I'm a guy who loves to act and sing in my community theater groups, read and write mainly fantasy literature, MOC and collect LEGO (chiefly system these days), eat good foods like steak and corn on the cob and pasta and chinese food and burritos and apples and Cheerio's and a lot of other things I could go on naming for hours. I enjoy biking, doing Parkour (not regularly, though I used to.), and being with my friends. I like trebuchets and European history, I like classic rock and showtunes, I like dragons and stories of imaginary places. I like getting lost in projects of mine, if they prove to be work-worthy.

As a person, I try my best to be nonjudgemental and patient, and do my best to focus on the good in others and myself. But being a pessimist and an introvert with a habit for picking out and agonizing over his own flaws, this is harder said than done. I appreciate people who know when to give me space to be alone, and people who listen and actually care. I regard lack of dependency on technology, intelligence, love of reading, sense of humor, loyalty, honesty, and optimism as good traits in people.

What I really hate to see in others is prejudice, intolerance, selfishness, and lack of empathy. People like that quickly lose my respect. But the way I see it, I give respect to people until they lose it. Why start off assuming the worst?

He leaves you with the following words
FEAR THE VAMPIRES

Born in 1981 and raised in Anchorage Alaska, I have grown to become a rather interesting person. I am a skilled builder of many things all the way from Bionicle to bicycles, yard equipment to snow blowers, woodcarvings to violins and violas. I am good with my hands, and have been dubbed as an excellent crafter.

I got into Bionicle in the beginning of 2005 when the Toa Hordika were newly released in stores. I first started out building the sets, and simple models that were based off of old sets. As time progressed, I became more skilled at building custom creations with my Bionicle pieces, and have been incorporating Lego System bricks back into my life as well. I joined BZPower in 2006, and became a Forum Assistant a year later after attending Brickfest PDX in 2007. My Bionicle display was very well liked by the AFOL’s, and I even converted some of the hardcore guys into liking Bionicle!

I am currently making a stop-motion fanfilm with my custom creations called Bionicle: Trials of Terror. It is going to be a feature length film that is shot outdoors, with some scenes that will be shot on indoor sets. There is no current release date for the film at this time.

My motto is: Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Truly put your heart into it, and you can do anything you set your mind to!

Sisen can bottle fame, brew glory, and even put a stopper in death.

When he's not saving the world with the Harlem Globetrotters, he's playing a casual game of poker with Voldemort, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the Rugrats.

On the weekends, he herds chinchillas in the Himalayan mountain range and knits sweaters for chilly hippogriffs.

Addendum by Sisen: Nukaya is amazing for scribing this and should totally apparate her bio up here.

Spink began his wondrous creation on BZPower during March of 2006. Naturally, he was a pretty bad typist, was horrid in the spelling department and yet he always had the eye to partake in discussions on this magical place. However, eventually this Spink grew an interest in writing (He wasn't even known as Spink back then!) and decided to try his hand at the pencil and the paper, and then later the computer. His first ever epic on the website was something of a disaster, as was his second -- however, both of those Epics' Review Topics did oddly well, why that was, Spink can only ever guess (There weren't even negative comments in them! A shocker, to any who may have read these elementary school writings) However, Spink, in terms of writing stories, has improved over the years. Sadly, his ability to continue epics and finish them has become something of a challenge. So. If you see an unfinished epic done by Spink, and would like it to continue onwards, send a message to him requesting! He doesn't expect to get any, given, he is not that great a writer and there are thousands of other epics out there that are far more amazing than his.

Enough with the story-writing, let's continue on with Spink's journey. So, in late 2008, Spink was promoted to COT RPG Judge, much like Exo, Sisen, just to name some other staffers in the field (And they stuck around for a while, and all did fantastic jobs, especially Sisen who got to manage them) However, this was not the start to his Role Playing career, no, the start happened years and years ago, back in 2007 (Okay, not "Years," but yeah =P) It was around this time Spink participated (2007ish) amazing RPGs like; Reality by Robo, The Gate by The Captain, the BZPRPG by a whole team of people who are all so incredible, there are definitely others -- He mentions the three he did because of the impacts. Reality showed him the open door to creativity, and helped immensely with his spelling ability, as well as his overall writing ability (Technically, that game had over 700 pages!) The Gate is mentioned simply because of the fact that this RPG was one of the first Spink played in, back when he used the horrid red colored text. It was around here when Spink got into deep stories so full of conflict, and yet so amiable to what the players wanted. It was just an incredible blend and he loved it. Now, the BZPRPG, why does Spink like it? He likes that game because of the effort, because of the people who hold it up so well, and because of the fact that it's been around for -years-. This game had helped Spink's ability to make friends in the realm of BZPower, as he could interact with people without the PM system and whatnot.

As a Judge, Spink did lots of things. Nothing as amazing or as hard as what Sisen and what some of the others had to go through, though, Spink is one of the first seven chosen -- something he only takes any pride in because he lasted for more than a year, while all the others quit (Save Wrack and Sisen, cuz they're just amazing for sticking around so long!). Spink did leave the COT RPG Judges, but that was only because he likes it when they're more using members for the spots, as he views it a system for the members, so he figures to let members decide what they'd like to see in the forums. Of course, Spink only did leave after he became a Forum Assistant during the month of January of 2010, the double-digit year. However, before staffdom, Spink was a regular person. He did things like any other member, he made mistakes, he did some embarrassing things (Like his epic!) and he also did get in trouble at one time, though, it was shrugged off (Luckily, it wasn't like he torched the front page of the site or anything =P)

Spink has participated in a few on-site contests, he lost every last one of 'em, but oh well, it was always extremely fun!

That's Spink on BZP. Anything else you wanna know of Spink, you can find it in his blog or in his profile, or you can just ask and depending on the question, he'd answer. In fact, ask Spink any questions at all, feel free, it's always awesome to help another member out, or anyone out, with things.

As for the picture, that is exactly what Spink looks like in the following situations;

- When he wakes up in the morning
- When a new idea pops into his mind
- When he goes through psychopathic instances, such as when he has too much caffeine and decides to converse with someone.
- At formal events
- At dinnertime
- Right before he goes to sleep, which makes it easy for a teacher to hit him as he knows what's about to happen.

TTN has been hanging around BZP ever since he joined, back in late 2003. TTN became hooked with the Bionicle storyline after seeing the first Bionicle movie. "I especially enjoyed the parts where the aliens and werewolves fight and stuff," TTN commented about what in the movie made him like Bionicle. "And then there's a big explosion or something. And the werewolf guys are all 'huzzah!' and stuff." In June 2005, TTN became an OBZPC. Since then, he has decided his goal in life would be to help any member that needs assistance, which is why he considers "New Member Q&A" to be his favorite forum. He still thinks that a forum entitled "New Member A&Q" would be far more efficient, though.

Outside of BZP, TTN's real name is Daniel. He is 15 years old and currently resides in Israel. Other than Bionicle, TTN's interests include tokusatsu shows, Transformers, and buying comic books. In his free time, TTN likes to draw stuff in Adobe Flash, play games on the Xbox 360, read books, or play with his dog, Rocky.

I began 'life' on BZPower, on 11th September 2006. Initially just visiting the site for it's news, I only started becoming really active in like, May of 2007. Initially appearing as the typical newb, I (who was then called '*z*') posted a few times in May, and then went into hibernation for another few months and then finally returned in October of the same year, slowly increasing my activity and gradually transforming into my current state.

In November 2007, I changed my name to Toa Z. My newbness slowly dissipated, and I turned into a slightly more mature member. Setting about to uncover the hidden secrets of the site, I ran across another 'being' [alias 'Adventurer'] and we subsequently became friends. Shorty afterward, I earned proto boosts from Black Six, Kex, Omicron, Than: Matoran of Anger and finally in November from Toaraga, completing my transformation into the smexy color orange. However, during this period, I yielded to the influence of the awesome Joker, and have never been the same since. I later went through an identity crisis of sorts, changing my name multiple times: first from what I am now known as, 'Zeddy', to 'Zed Zedd and Zeddy', and then to 'Hush' (during the awesome Batman staff theme week), and then finally, back to 'Zeddy', when I was asked to join the ranks of the BZPower staff, going from orange to green (which was way cooler =P) to the new light-ish blue. I was thusly christened (and am still considered) the 'Forum Assistant Newb' and subjected to many psychological horrors.

Outside of BZPower... well, here's a brief description: in real life, I'm a pretty normal human being. I attend the 10th grade and am also a 1st Dan Black Belt in Tae-Kwon-Do, so it's best not to mess with me... in real life, that is. On the Internet, there's nothing much I can do.

I DON'T WANNA

YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE

>:(

Help! I've been kidnapped by the staff. They make me work all day and make me scared and stare at this screen and make me be mean to new members. I don't like it here and Deevee keeps on giving me looks like he's going to strangle me. And Smeag said he was going to ravage my profile and I don't know what that means but I didn't like the tone he said it in. I talked about resigning, but they said they won't hear of it.

I just want to go home! ;_;

Addendum by McSmeag: *ravishes profile, lovingly and gently*

WARNING: Gatanui is two people, so don´t be surprised if you talk to him and he does not remember what you were saying the day before. This was a secret to most people until they officially revealed it in their application for LEGO Ambassador of BZPower in late 2010. After that they realized there was no more point in keeping that a secret, as too many people already knew it. Still, they would appreciate it if you treated them like one person. If you ask them why they do that, they will just tell you it´s their game.

The origins of Gatanui lie in 2001, when two young brothers and new fans of BIONICLE created an account on LEGO.com in order to play the Mata Nui Online Game. Still called AdrianGeorg, they had (and still have) a very close relationship and shared games, free time and toys. This attitude would lead to the idea of creating an account for BZPower which they would share, as they had never done too much separately before. What nobody knows is that their first accounts on BZPower were not shared and a result of one of those silly disputes little kids tend to have, but they never posted with them as they were deleted due to never being validated. That happened in 2004, when they started visiting BZPower. They finally joined BZPower with one common account on 31st July 2005, though they did not start posting and being active before November 2005. They spent some time as a normal, at first even noobish member, then became an Outstanding BZPower Citizen on 10th January 2007 for becoming Premier Member, the first two of many news reports and for a software error that gave them one proto boost they should not have.

Already then, it became clear that in the future, the two brothers that shared the account would distribute the roles. The older of them would take on the creative part, making most of the MOCs and artwork and becoming very active in the LEGO community on Flickr. Both enjoy MOCing with BIONICLE, LEGO Technic and the new bone building system of HERO Factory. The younger of them would become the more active, helping out mainly in the Digital Discussion (formerly BIONICLE Software), General Discussion and BZPower Q&A (formerly New Member Q&A) forums. Later, he would also do the main work of their job as Forum Mentor, which they took on on 22nd July 2008 as one of the first four Forum Mentors. Today, Gatanui is the last remaining of the original team and the longest running Forum Mentor. As of lately he has started to be more active in LEGO-related topics and forums. Gatanui is also known for reporting news very frequently. Starting in November 2006, that name has already been a source of over 140 news articles, provided the younger brother, and 8 BZPower front page reviews, provided by both. See further below for a full list.

Gatanui is also a member on BIONICLEsector01, the largest BIONICLE Wiki on the web, HEROsector01, best reference for HERO Factory information, and member of Der Chronist by BZPower Forum Assistant Nuhrii the Metruan. Among their hobbies are drawing, MOCing, painting, decompiling Adobe Flash files and coding and thinking about society, politics and science, two hobbies they share. If you follow their Twitter blog, you may find a tweet containing a philosophical or political thought from time to time. They have recently become great fans of NINJAGO.

Their most recent project and the one they are the most proud of is the BOGA - The BIONICLE Online Games Archive- a website where you can read information about your favourite classic BIONICLE online games and download them to your computer for free. It is their most successful and most popular project ever with hundreds of daily pageviews and unique visitors on the site.

Today, Gatanui is far more than just a BZPower account. For the two brothers, it is a symbol for their close friendship and for what they share. One day, they may leave BZPower, they may drift apart and go separate ways, but Gatanui will always exist as a link between the two.

bonesiii was for a while best known for being a top champion in the Lego.com Drome Racing Challenge. He has been following Bionicle since the beginning with MNOLG and the comics, and discovered BZP in early 2003. Since then he has become an active member of the Storyline and Theories Forum, known for his long and thorough posts, and his topic "Wacky Physics," which contains in-depth explanations of how the wackiest things in Bionicle can be explained with cool science fiction style ideas (currently a longer "Wacky Physics 2" is in the works). An aspiring writer, bonesiii and his brother Ojhilom have begun a Bionicle fanfic Series, The Bionicle Paracosmos, which includes Epics, Short Stories, Artwork, and even a half-completed computer RPG that introduces revolutionary new code techniques, such as in-the-map battle system.

In June of 2004, he accepted the position of Moderator, and currently moderates in his favorite Forum, Storyline and Theories, as well as Movies and Books. Later he accepted the positions of News Reporter and Reference Master in addition, and has helped launch several of BZP's new Reference projects, such as the Bionicle Timeline.

bonesiii was still on the Top Twenty in the Drome before the game was reset with the new updates, but now he has officially retired from the Drome. He still roots for his team, the High Octane Team, though! Now he devotes most of his free non-staff related time to the Bionicle Paracosmos, and plans to continue this alternate Bionicle universe series for quite some time.

LewaLew (also known as me) is one of the newest Reference Keepers of BZPower. He/I/It started out on BZPower, but remained relatively minor, as I usually stayed out of the Discussion part of BIONICLE News, Reference and Discussion. Sometime around 2007, I almost completely stopped using BZPower, but instead began exploring BS01. Once again, I did not become very prominent, and remained relatively inactive. Finally, I stopped hiding behind the keyboard and began writing for KanohiJournal, as the LEGO in General columnist. I also started becoming a more active editor on BS01, helping out with the Collaboration of the Week and Operation: Restore All Content.

When O:RAC required me to start asking GregF more questions, I once again became interested in BZPower. I started playing BIONICLE RPGs again (which was pretty much all I did when I first joined the site), but then noticed the BIONICLE Reference Center. It was missing lots of info, as several Reference Keepers had become inactive. I volunteered to help the Reference Keeper Team by writing up some stuff for them and getting pronunciations from GregF for SPIRIT. As it turned out, bonesiii asked me if I would like to become a Reference Keeper, and I accepted.

In real life, I am Sean. Hence my BS01 username 'Seanp12'. I am homeschooled, and I am a big Chicago Cubs fan. On BS01, I serve in O:RAC as the Member with the most contributions toward the operation, and in KanohiJournal, I am still writing for the LEGO in General column. On BZPower, I play the occasional BIONICLE RPG, and find myself checking the BIONICLE Sets forum more often. I've done most of my Reference Keeping work in the Sets Database, although I also handle the Story Sources and Vehicles and Technology topics of the BIONICLE Reference Center.

Toa Lhikan Hordika (A.K.A. TLH) is a Senior in High School who's probably just as obsessed with Bionicle than he was in 2001 (if not more). That's most likely one of the key elements in his promotion to a Reference Keeper. He makes a conscious effort to stay on top of it all.

He prides himself in working at Joe's Crabshack in Sterling Heights, MI where he makes some pretty decent money, but is almost always there for 35+ hours a week, even though he's supposed to be working part time.

Aside from his responsibilities at work and on BZP, he has a lot of responsibilities in his church. Ironically, since his church moved into a bigger building, his church, Joe's Crabshack, and a new Super Walmart are all in the same parking lot. So basically, when he's not on BZP or at home, the majority of his life is spent in that rectangular piece of land.

As far as interests go, I like Bionicle (try not to be so shocked), Final Fantasy (it's a pretty close runner-up to Bionicle, if not tied), comics, sci-fi/action/horror/suspense/action movies (not all in one).

I'm currently planning on moving to Oklahoma to go to Rhema Bible Training Center after I graduate this year, so we'll see how that goes.

Are you pondering what I'm pondering?

When you mix equal parts 'sexy' and 'ultrasexy,' you get this guy.

Pat (Known as "DeeVee" around the forums and "Darth Vader" on BrickFair 2008 badges) is a beautiful individual. He is also a curmudgeonly old resident of the BBC who probably invented whatever cool building technique you're ogling right now on someone else's MOC. He has won way too many BBC Contests to count and has nabbed the "Best Bionicle" award at every BrickFair to date. When The Deevs says he is better than you, it's not arrogance - it's just truth!

But there is so much more to Pat than just MOCing. He has been known to wear a top hat; besides that, he has quite lovely photography skills, the fruits of which are often displayed in his blog. He is gifted in the art of bribery, managing to secure a staff position here in exchange for a Fikou spider. But most of all, he is a staunch advocate of love, endeavoring to share that with those around him. Love wins.

He should also get on IM more often and talk to people who love him. <3

This bio was written by a secret admirer

some weird guy who does things with blogs

Ta-Metru_Defender, or TMD as he is more commonly known, is a fairly unusual eighteen year old. See, he was born in Singapore but moved with his family to live on a missionary ship, the Logos II, when he was ten. He lived there for four years sailing to around 80 ports in 40-some countries before moving to the US where he currently resides. This whole experience onboard a ship kinda gives him a unique view on things and stuff. He also says you should feel free to PM him if you're wondering what living on a ship was like.

TMD joined BZP while he was in Peru during the Christmas of 2003. He had been looking for news on the Bionicle line which he had been following over three continents. He first lived in Comedies and eventually moved to Artwork where he created an animated-gif series called Metru Nui Adventures. Over the years he gravitated to Lego General Discussion where he currently spends most of his time. Since being promoted to a Forum Mentor he ventures beyond LGD approving posts and attending to his other duties.

In his free time TMD's various hobbies go beyond Bionicle and Lego. He enjoys reading, film (both watching and making), photography, and music (just listening). Writing is another past time to which he devotes himself to and one day hopes to make a career out of.

That's pretty much TMD in a nutshell. Also, one of his mottos is "don't die" which thus far he has executed fairly well.

Upon joining BZPower in February of 2007, Takuma Nuva spent most of his time playing around with the Offline MNOLG 2 and the MNOLG-style character creation kit. Shortly thereafter, he decided to make an entire comic series using the MNOLG kit. It was through this that the well-known and likeable character "Steak Boy" was given life. After making a name for himself in comics, Takuma Nuva started splitting his time between Artwork III and Comedies. His most popular comedic works were the "Steak Boy Buys A _____" series and the episodic comedy-epic known as "Toast Busters".

Takuma spent the majority of his next couple years on BZPower in these two forums and became a lifetime premier during the July of 2008. As "real life" took over, Takuma Nuva slowly dropped out of the forums and was active almost exclusively in just the blogs and NM Q&A.

On March 4 of 2011, Takuma Nuva joined the staff as a Blog Assistant and has been loving his job ever since. He hopes to one day regain his place among the comedy and/or comic-making elite when time allows.

In the real world, Takuma Nuva is known as [subject name here] and dreams of one day becoming a radio announcer/DJ or possibly even a voice actor (though far less likely). He was homeschooled K-12, could read when he was 4, and, much to his dismay, is viewed as rather intelligent which causes people to constantly ask him for answers instead of learning the answer themselves.

I also enjoy sudden changes from third- to first-person.

Valenti is a guy from the Netherlands who has been a member since 2003. He has made his home in COT, but he can be found in the Blogs frequently. He's online almost every day, but what he exactly does, remains a mystery.

He stayed in the shadows for a longer period of time, after which he started to make a name for himself, mainly by creating edits. It proved hard for others to keep track, because Valenti changed his name many times. (Most notable ones being Miraeyi Angae, Scorpius, Scorpio Paradox and Mad Dog Turahk.)

In October 2005, Val reached POBZPC status. He continued to make edits while improving his skills and he started a shop with one of his friends. (The shop got demolished after a few months.) It didn't really stop him, because in the last month of 2007, Valenti became a staff member in the Blogs section of BZPower.

Valenti is quite fond of music, listening to his favourite songs almost all day long. He also likes to play games. Riding around on his mountain bike is also one of his favourite things to do.

Who knows what the future holds for this guy...

ChocolateFrogs joined BZPower in April of 2003, after stumbling upon it earlier in January. He started visiting daily when early photos of the Rahkshi were released exclusively to BZPower. Simply enjoying browsing the forums and posting where necessary, he quickly became a part of the community.

Today, ChocolateFrogs is an active blogger and tries to MOC in his free time, quite possibly then taking photos of them. He was offered the position of becoming a News Reporter in July 2008 and immediately accepted the offer, for this was his dream job. It still is in real life, as he is a Journalism student at Christopher Newport University, balancing studies with Lego.

Other interests include various Lego themes and MOCing in both Bionicle/Technic and the Lego System. He enjoys sci-fi and geekery of all flavors, being a loyal Browncoat (Firefly) and Whovian (Doctor Who) when it comes to TV, and enjoys Harry Potter, Hitchhiker's Guide, and whatever great sci-fi and fantasy books he can get his into hands.

He visited BrickFest 2004 and attended in 2006. He visited BrickFair 2008 and attended in 2009 and 2010, and is looking forward to 2011's convention. He has met over 50 BZPower members in person, talked with Greg Farshtey over the phone, and frequently visits his local LEGO Stores.

Xccj is a reporter. He reports stuff that is report-worthy. His name is not an acronym; it doesn't stand for anything. Somehow this makes it cool.

There have been reports that Xccj has a life, but they're vague at best. He has been known to enjoy hiking, writing, and complaining about schoolwork. His favorite color is green. He also procrastinates. He'll add more details later.
