One more thing: No. He wasn't leeched as a punishment - he had been leeched a while before MC#10 started, by Icarax.

I'm not sure if others have asked you these exact questions, and i'm sorry if i wasste your time,
1. I read on BS01, that when takanuva uses his light power, it will not regenerate, is this true?
1.A. if it is, then that means that when he uses a Nova blast, then he will be left as a Toa of Shadow?
1.B. While the Avhokhi can't enhance his preexisting light powers, could Taka use it as a substitute so he doesn't waste light power?
2. Since the shadow leech attack was incomplete, the shield preventing light is incomplete correct?
2. A. Does this mean in time, his light will be restored?
2. B. If not, will it let in light that he has channeled, like, say he uses half of his light power, leaving him 25% light, 75% shadow, he would slowly absorb light so he's 50-50, right?
3.I read on Taka's Bio in Bionicle.Com, that his light HAS been diminished, I know i read in an ogd that you said he has the same amount as light, just that he controls shadow as well, which is canon?
3.A. Could you say that he can control light and shadow the same as any other toa, but say he fought an actual toa of shadow, he wouldn't have as much power over shadow as him, so the elemental shadows around taka, would respond to the Toa of Shadow. Could it be like that?
4. Journey of Takanuva tells us how Taka looks like a Yeti yes?
4.A. The order is kingdom, journey of taka, ane then DM, right?
4.B. If this order is correct, then how come the Toa of DM, didn't say, "AAAHH YETI!!!" (just as an example.)
4.C. If this order is correct, is it just a coincidence that Tuyet opened a portal to Karda Nui, or did she do it on purpose.
5. If shadow has no moral connotations, then how come that beings use corrupt morals such as anger and hate to channel shadow? Is it because that in peoples minds shadow is bad?
5.A. Say that Makuta were light wielders, would it be the the other way around?
6. Can Matoran channel Shadow?
thank you for taking time in your busy schedule to answer these trivial, unimportant, questions, that are coming from an annoying 15 year old.

thank you for taking time in your busy schedule to answer these trivial, unimportant, questions, that are coming from an annoying 15 year old.
1) Correct
1a) IF he used a nova blast, yes, but Toa very rarely ever do that
1b) Yes
2) No. The shield is the first effect of an attack
2a) Not unless something is done to reverse what the leech did.
2b) No
3) BIONICLE.com is -- he can't have 50% shadow and still be 100% light
3a) He wouldn't have the skill with shadow that a Toa of Shadow would have because he isn't used to using it.
4) A Yeti? I don't understand you
4a) No. It's JOT, Kingdom, then DM
4b) I still don't get you. Takanuva looks nothing like a Yeti.
4c) She didn't open a portal to Karda Nui. She opened a portal to interdimensional space, through which Takanuva journeyed to get to Karda Nui.
5) Where did I say shadow has no moral connotations?
5a) Moot point, since they're not. Sorry, but I have too many people asking questions to spend time on hypotheticals
6) Normal, non-Matoran of Light have no access to any elemental ability.
I replyed again, but I haven't gotten an answer, so either you haven't read them, or you're too busy so i'm trying again.
1.B. Does he use the avhokii instead?
1.C. Does he know about this?
2.If the shield is comlete, how come he isn't completely evil?
3.I mean in terms of raw power, would a toa of Shadow have more power than Taka?
4.The yeti thing is a joke
4.B.Answered in Taka's Blog. But some of the armor is different. Is the armor difference also because of Karda Nui's energies? Also, in the comic, we see Taka emerge from the portal in his 2008 form, is this canon?
4.D.Do the energies in Karda give Takanuva the Claws that we see? And how long does it take for Taka to reach the size he is in set form?
5.The question was why would Mata Nui create an inherently evil species of shadow wielders to create Rahi? The answer was that shadow was only identified as evil after the brotherhoods rebellion. What i'm asking is why beings like Roodaka are able to channel Shadow with negative and destructive emotions like anger? I'm thinking it is because people identify shadow with evil, and use curropt emotions to channel it. Am i right?
5.A. I'm Asking if people identified light with evil, would they channel light with emotions like hate, and shadow with love (Not boy/girl love, family like love).
6.I mean could Matoran use hate and anger to channel shadow?
And some questions about Brothers in Arms:
7.ET is being critical about this, but is Mazeka's mentor a Matoran?
8.I can understand if you can't answer this, or if i'm wrong but, Was Gorast disguised as Helryx?
8.A. if so, were the mace and shield Helryx's Toa Tools?
8.B. if so, how does she now what Helryx looks like?
8.C.One thing about Helryx while I'm here, how come she doesn't have a Ga prefix in her name? I thought that the only toa that have the elemental prefixes are the ones born Toa, and i know that you just have a name list or something, but is there a reason that she doesn't have a Ga prefix?
9.Is there something keeping the Matoran of the Tren Krom peninsula from moving away from such a dangerous place?
10. Is the Lava Gem important to the story?
1b) He certainly can
1c) How would he?
2) Because not all his light was drained
3) No
4b) His coloring is canon, his size change comes later
5) But shadow did not become identified with evil until the Makuta rebelled. It's the same as the swastika, which was a symbol of peace until it was used by the Nazis. The Makuta were given the powers they had because it takes a lot of power to deal with powerful Rahi. Rahi are not created as tame and affectionate creatures.
5a) Same answer as before, I don't have time for "what if" questions, much too busy
6) No, because Matoran cannot tap into elemental abilities of any kind
7) I assumed so
8) No
8c) Because I have no Ga-prefix name on the approved name list.
9) It's their homeland, and it's where their work needs to be done.
10) No, it's a Maguffin
Cleared up issues.
Yeah. I never believed the fire was anything but just that - a fire. Nothing "sacred". Vakama is using an old trick, one humans know as well. You light a candle, clear your mind, stare into the flame, shut out everything else and focus on your problems or whatever may be bothering you. With nothing around to distract you, as you are completely focused on the flame, you have more "room" in your head to think about the problem, and you get calmer. Sometimes you don't even have to think of a particular thing, just stare into the fire - your subconsciousness works on and at some point, you'll suddenly notice that you're thinking of something, follow the thought and may come to a solution. This candle-trick is famous among people who need some undistracted concentration on some matter. And the point I'm trying to make is: Vakama shuts everything else out, focuses on his fire and lets his subliminal mind do the rest. At some point, whatever gives him visions will give him visions, for he as a free mind. And I guess the fire has been called "Sacred Fire" since it may appear "magical" that Vakama gets visions from staring into the flames.

7) See answer to #5
8) I tend to doubt it.

Hello Greg, I was just wondering if you could please answer these questions and great job on the serials! They are really exciting!
1. Was Mazekas mentor a turaga?
1a. Does the Tren Krom penisula have any turaga or toa?
2. Will the Klakk travel to Karda Nui or will someone or something bring them there?
3. Did Vultraz use his skyfighter to follow Icarax?
4. Why is it that Mazeka is as big as the other Av matoran in Karda Nui?
5. Will the OoMN ambush or have an all out attack when they enter Destral?
6. Was Vultraz always evil or did he once have a good side?
7. How do they get Mazeka and the swamp strider to Karda Nui?
8. Can beings in the Bionicle universe sneeze?
9. Can Onua take his shield off his shoulder and use it like that? (Ex: If he got his Nynrah Ghost Blaster knocked out of his hand and had nothing else besides his shield)
10. If Helryx isnt going to fight then will we still see her in the serials giving orders and stuff?
10a. Shouldnt she still fight since they need a lot of guys on their side and this is the final battle?
11. Can a Toa of water and a Toa of fire have a combination of their elements to be steam, like for a distraction or cover?
12. Will the OoMN ever use the heart of the visorak?
13. Will the Mana Ko make a appearence in Destiny War, since they are OoMN agents and they work for Makuta?
-Could I just suggest a couple powers for masks for the future Makuta or other characters in Destiny War! Ok first one is Mask of Futility (renders someone or something ineffective or useless) and the other is Mask of Feudality (cuases a feud or anger between two beings, like Rahkshi Kurahks ability)
-If you dont like these then is ok!
Ok Im done! Thanks Greg! I have more questions I just cant remember them! And dont worry if I remember them I wont pm until the 2 serials and podcast come out again with the 2nd chapters! Thank you for your time!

Hey Greg, just a quick question about the naming system.
1)Do you have to use any remaining names on the "list" for next year? Could you actually spare any names for stuff this year?
None of the names on the 2008 approved list can be used for 2009, because we are going to a different naming scheme in 2009. So 2009 has its own list.

Would it be possible to have Icarax and Toa Ignika in BiA in the present? I ask because I figured Vultraz would try to free Icarax or something.
No, because Icarax and Ignika are both in Bionicle Legends 11, and there's no mention of Vultraz or Mazeka in that book, so it would wind up being a plot tangle.

Where is Karda Nui's western portal? Is it on the SC, near Voya Nui, on the dome wall? Where is it in accordance to the SC and Voya Nui? I figured it would be close to Voya Nui because that's where the Mask of Life is, and the mask has to be used in Karda Nui.
It's on the western wall in Karda Nui. The SC and Voya Nui are roof of the dome, so everything in KN is below VN and SC.

Wait, so doesn't that mean that the Western Portal is under-water?
No, why? Voya Nui now is on dry land, so no more water beneath it. Vican flew through it in Bionicle Legends#9, there's nothing under water.

Well, I know Vican flew out, but if the Western Portal is on the side of Karda Nui, which is under the Continent, wouldn't Karda Nui be surrounded by the ocean, keeping the SC above it?

I don't see why Karda Nui would have to be surrounded by an ocean to support the SC? Karda Nui is simply inside a dome that is under the SC. No ocean required.
Anyways: got a few answers about the Faxon... a few frustrating answers...
QUOTE
QUOTE
Hey, I had a few questions about the Faxon...
1. What does the Faxon classify as a Rahi?
1a. Is it based upon the lack of a light/shadow balance or strength of mind?
2. A Faxon wearer would be able to mimic Krahka's power, correct?
3. I am a little uncertain as to what you classify as a Power as opposed to a natural ability...
3a. Breathing, strength, flight, things brought on by the beings body shape or form, are natural abilities, correct?
3a. Anything that beign can do that is not directly correlated to the body shape or form is a power, correct?
Thanks for taking the time to read these, and sorry to bother you when you are getting ready to move. :)

1) Anything we classify as a Rahi it classifies as a Rahi
2) Depends on if her mimickry is a power or a natural ability
3) I think you are fairly close there, although there may be exceptions to that layout

Well, then the SC would just be an un-reachable place on top of a giant dome in the middle of a desert, like a plateau.

A few questions for BS01 today, Mr. Farshtey.
1.) Is the Dark Hunter Vanisher's ability to create interdementional gates as well as rumored ties to the BoM responsible for Destral's constantly shifting position?
2.) The "Sacred Fire" that Vakama used on Mata Nui, has he continued using it on Metru Nui to divine visions?
2a.) Could other Turaga, etc., make use of a "Sacred Fire" if the had visions? Would the process differ by elemental preference?
3.) Say a Matoran was created on an island with no Toa. He comes across an ancient Toa Stone, and he receives it's power and transforms into a Toa. What does he takes the shape of? I would assume it still be whatever he would imagine a Toa to look like, but the results could be... problematic if it's not a clear image, correct?
4.) These BS01 Contests in the "KanohiJournal" are an interesting concept, and I can't wait to participate. The winners will become canon, correct? Will you have to approve them?
Thank you for your time.
1) Nope
2) Yes
2a) Other Turaga don't have visions, so point is moot
3) Yes
4) If it is something that's canon, yes, I have to approve it.

You ever thought Goarast used one of here powers? Or another Makuta or a BHoM servant was wating at the bottom, to catch/save Vultraz.
"Would make sense" =/= "yes". Besides, he's entitled to change his mind.

Hi Greg. These are all questions I posted on "the other BIONICLE forum" which you haven't answered. I'm PMing them to you here because that forum's topic for these sorts of questions is really piling up with unanswered questions, and you already missed one of my sets of questions because it was all mixed up with those of other people.
You can ignore these questions there if you answer them here; in fact, once I get a response, I'll edit the questions out of my post there to make things easier for you to pick out other people's questions. Here goes:
1. Since shadow leeches have a short lifespan, do Tridax Pods help keep them alive until used? I know it’s pretty obvious, but I need an official statement since I’m pretty certain you never touched on the subject in a book.
2. If you supported romance in BIONICLE, which two characters do you think would make the best couple? (i.e. boyfriend-girlfriend)
2b. Which couple would probably be the most fun to write for?
3. When you wrote for Nikila in Dreams of Destruction, did you have personality traits in mind for Toa of Lightning or did you just make up a personality for Nikila and her alone?
3b. Which of her personality traits would you consider typical of a Toa or Matoran of Lightning?
4. Do you select the names for new characters, masks, etc. from the approved names list or does someone else do that? I’d guess set designers, but then that leaves the question of how names are chosen for stuff that doesn’t appear in sets.
5. The Vortixx of Xia don’t care who it is they serve as long as they get good payment. What about the Nynrah Ghosts?
6. When Tahu, Pohatu, and Onua become Akamai Nuva, the new entity’s Kanohi Aki Nuva is identical to Tahu’s Hau Nuva. Would the same be true with the adaptive masks?
6b. Can the same be said for the adaptive Miru Nuva (both environments) and the adaptive Rua Nuva?
7. Did the Hand of Artahka have any connection to Artahka, or at least any reason his name was tied to the organization?
8. In an old PM, you told me that Kopaka’s eyepiece and similar attachments could be manually removed. When Kopaka got his new adaptive Akaku Nuva, was the eyepiece already on the opposite eye from his old one, or did he manually switch it to his left eye so he could better aim his Skyblaster?
Thanks in advance.
Your help is always appreciated, and forgive me if I seem impatient in taking these here. But I'd hate to have the bulk my questions drive you away from so many fans on the other forum.

Your help is always appreciated, and forgive me if I seem impatient in taking these here. But I'd hate to have the bulk my questions drive you away from so many fans on the other forum.1) No
2-2b) I really am too busy to answer hypotheticals
3) Just for her
4) I choose for some things, the franchise manager does for others
5) Nynrah like to work, but they have been known to sabotage projects, like the Fohrok, if they dislike what they will be used for
6) Most likely
6b) I guess so
7) Artakha created the Toa Mata and many of the other fundamental things in the universe, that's why it was named for him
8) It was already on the opposite eye
Comments:
1) Strange... I guess the Makuta have to make their raids within three hours of "reloading", then...
2) Rats.
3) Again, rats. (Guess we still have to infer what Toa of Lightning are like, then...)
4) Interesting.
5) Good point.
6) Not enough confirmation to put it on the wiki... but at least the MOCists will be happy.
7) Hmmm, Artahka made other stuff? I wonder what?
8) Rats once more.
Dude,there is no romance in bionicle,although I'm still questioning the storyteam's logic behind it.

Hey Greg, I'm not 100% sure how accurate the information I'm basing this question off of is, but I'm taking it from the Wiki.
According to the Wiki, Av-Matoran are larger than the average Matoran tribe because of exposure to Karda Nui's energies. Also according to the Wiki, Takanuva has grown so huge because of his exposure to the Core. The wiki claims that, if removed from the core, Av-Matoran would revert to smaller sizes. Does this mean, then, that outside of the core, Takanuva would also return to the average size of a Toa?

Yes, that is correct
Not sure if that's news to anyone or not, but Takanuva is not permanently gargantuan.
Now we just have to hope he lives to see a day when he can leave Karda Nui.

Hey Greg,
Cleaning the slate of old questions with new. Thanx!
<- ur fave!!!
1. Does Mata Nui have body parts, such as a brain and heart?
1a. If yes, are they powered/fueled by the matoran?
2. 2009 is not in an ALTERNATE UNIVERSE, a DOME, the SURFACE (aka same level of the is. MN), in SPACE, on another PLANET? Correct, for I recall seeing quotes by you agreeing with these.
3. Are there other Great Spirits?
4. Is a Glatorian the same as a Toa? Similar?
4a. And Vastus is a misspelling, correct?
5. Are their different Layers of life on the planet (such as the top layer is the endless ocean and matoran universe, and then under that there is a whole layer).
6. Any future Bionicle video games in the making?
7. Will McDonalds or Burger King act as a promoter for Bionicle again like in the early years with matoran and comics?
Thanx again for your time!

1, 2, 4) Can't answer it
3) Not that I know of
5) Nope
6) Not that I know of
7) Something may go on this year, not sure
Thank you again for answering, except:
2. You have answered similar questions before, so why not that one??
8. Why is Takanuva growing in size?
8a. If because of the shadow leech, how come other shadow leech victums haven't grown in size?
8b. Do you think Takanuva has truly grown this:
big?9. Will Teridax get a new body? An yes I will follow the story...
10. Can a being transport into the codrex?
10a. Can someone transport out?
Thanx!
2) Don't feel like it
8) Takanuva is growing in size for the same reason the Av-Matoran are larger than normal Matoran -- beings of Light are affected that way by the light energy in Karda Nui
8b) The set to Toa set comparison is accurate to story
9) I can't answer this
10) Transport how?
Cool, we might have another McDonald's Promo this year.
I have a couple questions if you don't mind answering
1- Was the reason that Mata-Nui gave the Makuta the 42 Kraata powers because if the rahi they create can end up dangerous or have powers they did not know about? For an example- Mutran created a rahi that has strong ice control. he could be safe cause he has strong Ice resistance.
2- Since you don't have time to release the Makuta locations, can you release them with the polsih guide?
1) Yes
2) No, that book is already written and done. If I had the time to put them in the Polish guide, I'd have had the time to post them here.

He must need some time then! I wonder how long it takes!? And thats weird because Mazeka grew bigger because he rebuilt himself but the av matoran are that big because of Karda Nui!
Why is that weird? The Matoran of Mata Nui rebuilt themselves as well in 2003 and made themselves larger.

You mean like supplying armed Toa? Hm... I don't know how to put this, so I'll say in the most easiest way; THAT WOULD BE FRICKIN' AWESOME!!!
Then couldn't the OOMN be unstoppable? Artahka could just keep making Toa and send them into battle and hope they eventually get lucky and win.
Artakha has given up the creation of living beings. Turned out he wasn't that good at it after he created the Crystal Serpents.

Except we don't have a single clue how Toa are made from scratch, so for all we now it's a very resource-wasting process or in another way problematic.
I think he's just not good at making Rahi, Toa he CAN do- but he cannot seem to build any good adaptive armour, they're all clone sets

They're not all clone sets. The 2003 Nuva were more clone-ish than the Mistika/Phantoka. Really, don't be so silly.
I PMed Greg about the shape of Mata Nui in the MNOLG, and he said it was the game designers and not him. Darn game designers.

I was thinking both of those.
But Arthaka could still make Toa. He's supplying them with reinforcments/supplies, so wouldn't Toa count?
Remember when DHs were attacking Metru Nui when Nidhiki was still a Toa?
Hundreds of Toa came to help. Why not do it again?
~B~
Toa probably aren't that easy to create, otherwise he already would have done it. And probably he doesn't create them anymore because now the Matoran become Toa and he does no longer need to create them. And a Toa army would be unlikely since only 50+ Toa remain alive.

Remember also that they would be novice Toa, and the Nuva are ooooold and trained. It all comes down to them in the core right now, sending an army of untrained Toa at six Makuta would be murder.
Even if Artahka did supply a Toa army, you still have to train them. All of them. That could take more time than can be spared. The Order has to sacrifice a warrior to train the Toa, and that is assuming that they are all like the Toa Mata. It just isn't plausible.
Not really worth posting, but whatever.
Hello Greg. I was wondering, On BS01, regarding the Ignika's curse, it says the following:
Gadunka - Could devolve beings, including itself.
Now, Gadunka couldn't devolve himself without having evolved. Does this mean that all gadunka will eventually evolve into larger beings?
Thanks in advance.
Owned
Off the top of my head, I don't recall Gadunka ever devolving anyone. So I am not sure where they got that idea from.
1-From BL8, Downfall:
And one more:
2- Exactly how many years after the Barraki were defeated did the Makuta evolve into energy?
Thanks again.

I don't have an exact date

The Mask of Life responded with fear and anger to being taken from Matoro. It lashed out, granting Gadunka the power to devolve virtually anything it touched into its original state. The effects were immediate. Before Nuparu's startled eyes, the Rahi began to shrink.

Realize, the Toa Inika/Mahri were not trained either. But they are sucsessful.

Remember that they had the knowledge of past toa's mistakes to guide them, and they got to see the Nuva in action first-hand. These new toa would have only been self-aware for moments. Big difference.

Ya, and he already said Takanuva's destiny extends beyond 2008, so he wouldn't die this year.
Please, no spamming, this is not the place to post it...try the Official Web Serials Topic. (and part of that should go under spoiler tags since it is a spoiler)
This is the Official Greg Discussion, we can discuss Greg here, and as such, it seems appropriate to discuss his work here, hence the Takanuva Blog, but still better in the Web Serial topic.
Still it is nasty when people who are looking to read the questions and their answers, and have to go through comments like these...so technically I shouldn't be posting this...oh well, somebody would do it if I didn't anyway.
