We're only a few chapters away from beginning the Ending arc in Sekai, but...I might not be able to get any chapters typed this week or next.
The thing is, I have two papers I need to complete by the end of this week, and then I need to get started on another paper due at the end of next week. There will be little if any time to type up a chapter or update the websites, and if I do then it probably means I'm being irresponsible and pushing my assignments back until later. I procrastinate a
No, I'm not going to give the history behind every name used in Bioni-Lords. Some of them were submitted by other people, so I don't know where they came from. But I thought I may as well publish the name origins I remember. Khadaz: It's "Zadakh" backwards, but with the K and H flipped Amy: I asked people to submit some ideas for female names, and this was the one that I thought seemed best Kharuun: "Nuurahk" backwards, but with the K and H flipped Hyohana: I looked up "ice" (hyo) and "flower"
Bioni-Lords may have started as a game, but the game has been closed for so long that the story is now the sole component. But, I HAVE been thinking...
My main concern is that there might not be much of an audience. If there's one thing I learned from entering Ihu's Blessing into the RPG Contest, it's that most people don't approve of humans and Bionicles being in contact. But it could be worth a try, and could get more people to read the story...
Other concerns are some system flaws.
...Or sometimes "Les Quatre Freres des Lames," or sometimes with accent marks, or both... Les Quatre Freres de Lame were the first important group of sentient Spirits shown in the Bioni-Lords story--Obscura, BionicleKeyblade, Language, and Zodiakai. When each one seeks out a human ally and come into contact with each other, a great disaster is on the horizon, and more often than not they make the difference between victory and defeat but don't live through it. And the truth is...they're just s
Here's the first of my lectures, the origins of Bioni-Lords. Even though parts of it are a little embarrassing, and it's not exactly epic or anything, I thought you might still want to know...ahem: A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away... Actually it was the early 2000s, somewhere in the US I won't disclose due to paranoia. I was a kid in the age where Pokemon and Digimon were the big thing, but because my parents thought said shows were too violent my sisters and I weren't allowed to w
After months as a Prinny I was restored to normal, and one trip through the Void later I ended up in the world of Final Fantasy! So, naturally, I went to Cornelia to become a knight.
(...I love Final Fantasy )
Ahem...but, on to updates. Later today, the Technic Coliseum tournament will begin! (Would do it now, but...working on a school computer; can't shuffle name slips right now.) I'm cutting down on the allowed time to procrastinate this time--rather than waiting a week before giving y
School is back at full power, so I have a lot more work piled on me that requires my attention. Because of this, I've had less time to work on my stories.
The last chapter in Sekai seemed like a good "season finale," so I've decided to take a break until I have a few more chapters written. I don't know how often I'll have the opportunity, and having one long break between arcs seemed better than multiple long(ish) breaks between chapters. I'm currently writing Chapter 123. My first though
All members of Team 4 for the Epics Unlimited Relay can post here to discuss our story.
The plan: win the contest! The details: ...*shrug*
So...cue discussion!
Some of you may be aware of the announcement of Pokemon Black and White, the Generation V games set to be released in Japan sometime 2010. While examining the pictures and hoping this wouldn't be another Generation III situation, I made a shocking discovery...look at this picture:
Look to the left, under the bridge...
THE TRUCK HAS RETURNED.
Those of you familiar with this dreaded enemy know what this means, and those of you not familiar with it should be glad you are not! In order
So, when I finished Shooting Star Sonia 2, I said I had a few other projects I wanted to get off the ground in the near future. I’ve now officially given up on both of them. Just to pad my blog with content, here’s an overview of what could have been but probably won’t. -The bigger one was an attempt at a new Comedy, “Synica and the Jade Mask”. A villager from the Region of Stone finds a Jade Mask that won’t let go of her face and amplifies her already negative personality (she’s jaded!), s
Finally I have managed to make a quick update! Chapter 4 of Shooting Star Sonia is already up in OTC! So, I’ve rearranged my outline for the story. Originally, Chapter 4 was going to end differently and lead right into the scenario planned for Chapter 5, but I thought it would work better if I moved that scenario back to Chapter 6. I’ve still got a plan for what I’m doing in the new Chapter 5, but there are a few things I’m still working out, so there might be more of a delay. Also my upco
Well, May is here, meaning that after Wednesday I'll have more time each day for things like Bioni-Lords...and video games. I do have a habit of ignoring my responsibilities and playing video games instead...but I will try my best to get a ton of Bioni-Lords stuff up as quickly as possible. But not so quickly that it reduces the impact of cliffhangers. Mwa-ha-ha-ha...
The next chapter is written, just needs to be typed, and the chapter after that...a little stuck, but I'll try and move for
I got an itch to start up a new game, and after discarding a bunch of half-ideas, I realized this could actually be a great chance to get more people interested in Olkir. Hence, Olkir Tournament! Not a very creative name, I know. You’ll use the mechanics detailed in the topic to create your own weapon and ability, and then I’ll start randomly matching you up with other players to fight. You have to PM me a strategy each round, similar to the old Technic Coliseum, and see if you can outwit y
Right of Law, Section IX, is live in the Epics Forum! This Section introduces several things, some of them big, some of them subtle, some of them things that were alluded to previously but are now begin somewhat expanded on. I want to shift focus for the next few Sections: the characters have won a moment to really sit down and process everything, though even now they're still working to prepare for what comes next, and I want to take advantage of that. The site of the next major conflict is
Have I mentioned that Steven Universe: Attack the Light is a great game? Because it is. I went back to it to try shooting for 100% completion, and I'm very nearly there. The Gems' levels are all maxed (though I didn't maximize all their abilities, turns out those upgrades are missable and that's a bit of a flaw), Steven's level is almost there (I think he just needs two more levels, but he levels really slowly and I think his only remaining bonuses are upgrades to Escape, which I don't use or
See that? That’s what I meant about subtitles. That’s actually cool, unlike Today in Reality Avoidance 2, Today in Reality Avoidance 3, Today in Reality Avoidance 28…
Here We Go Again
Fullbringers: -Some nitpicks priorities to get out of the way here: Chad, Orihime, and anyone else who might have developed Fullbring by this point should definitely get upgrades, there’s absolutely no reason for them not to. Ichigo’s Fullbring should look more like his Inner Hollow/Arrancar form, and the
Well between school and life I haven't been able to get much of anything done, have I? Life snuck up on me while my back was turned and started shooting at me, so I was at a bit of a disadvantage and needed to find cover. Of course, once I found cover Life kept shooting and I couldn't find an opening, and it was quite some time before I could step out long enough to deflect some bullets with my sword and get closer, but once that started I gained momentum and eventually got up to Life, cut off
Thanks BZP, you gave me one helpful answer so that I could break the tie of responses I got from Tumblr. Tumblr was more helpful than you what the heck that's just wrong. Anyway, I've begun work on The Time of the Mask Makers, a fanfic exploring the backstory and characters of Ekimu and Makuta. Again, it will almost certainly be rejected by future canon, but I'm going to try to keep it reasonably based in what we know from the winter wave of the story. I've actually got a lot worked out in
I really enjoyed seeing the response to The Legend Continues. It was like this big outpouring of love for Generation 2, and since it seems like a lot of talk about G2 (ever since it started) is very negative, it was a delightful change of pace. Just fans taking the ideas Lego has given us and playing with them, and complimenting each other on their ideas and effort. It was great. So that sparked the idea behind Toa of Fire. It’s not long at all, clocking in at around 1400 words, and the se
Man, fourteen whole years on BZPower. As is now tradition, a look back at what I did in the most recent of these years: -I almost forgot about Slizer Mafia: The Final Refrain. Uh, I think it was alright? Maybe? Not sure it was my best run as a Mafia host, but at least it finally gave real closure to Slizer Mafia’s story. -While it, ah, hasn’t actually gotten off the ground yet, I did do a bit of work on the concept of the world of Olkir. The Principles of Flame and The Twins of Justice
That prompt seemed awfully daunting at first. A game with absolutely no violence? Is such a thing even possible?! But after a bit of brainstorming, I’ve developed a peaceful game that I want to throw into the ring. The Great Career Fair will need 12 players to get started, no more, no less. Each player will represent one of the professions available to Matoran in the city of Metru-Nui (two from each Metru), and every 24 hours or so we’ll randomly determine a type of event that you will hav
And the words of the Skull Grinder continued to echo in the Protector’s mind: “Even a fool can see why you lowlanders are destined to fall before us. Put plainly, you fight only if you need to. You think battle is something that finds you, something you can wait out and endure. Even when raising a weapon you think it a shield or a tool. All your villages, your very position, ‘Protector’, is based on this delusion. “My people are different. For us, fighting is like breathing. Our
-Venusaur ("Saur", "Triffid" (Mega)) -Torterra ("Sprout") -Meganium ("Megaman") -Serperior (no name, "Randall") Huh, I guess the only Grass types I've ever used have been starters...I never noticed. I like Grass types, but they have a lot of weaknesses, and their advantages can be covered by other things, so maybe that's why I don't train them as often. That being said, possessing a Serperior in Black 2/White 2 makes Humilau City Gym a complete joke. Definitely too tough to pick a favorite
