Popular Misconceptions – Part One

Written by Aoran

One popular misconception that member have here on the forums of BZPower is that Vamprah, one of our most favoured Makuta amongst the BZPMonthly Staff, is, in fact not a female. We have had to lose a few lives just to acquire this information, and to prove to you once and for all that Vamprah is not a female. Don't fret though. The Staff here at BZPMonthly are expendable, so it's not such a big loss.

First point we have is his/her appearance. As far as anyone is concerned, no female we know, other than Aoran, is this ugly. Roodaka does cut it close, but let's not get off the subject at hand, shall we? Along with that, it's a proven fact that all blue beings are males. Never in the history of BIONICLE has there been a blue female character, and any that say they are blue and female are obviously lying. It's paint.

Secondly is his/her voice. Have you heard Vamprah? It's no wonder s/he doesn't speak, and probably the sole reason as to why we initially thought s/he was a female. It's sort of like a fusion of Christina Aguilera and Kate Langbroek, with a hint of malice. Of course, when s/he's communicating to you telepathically s/he sounds like Wallace Shawn, but by the time you realize that you're pretty much dead. As to how that works out, we've got not a single idea. Plus, with voices like that, s/he doesn't seem evil.

Along with that, how many females in BIONICLE are evil? Now don't say Roodaka, because she's not evil. She's just misunderstood. For a perfect example, think of your maths teacher. See? There are absolutely no evil females in BIONICLE, and there aren't going to be for some time, or at least until 2008 when we meet Gavla. Photok still thinks she's mean.

Of course, there is proof suggesting Vamprah is a female, or so we found out. For example, if s/he wishes to make Shadow Matoran, s/he must first give birth to Shadow Leeches. As far we're aware of, only females give birth. Ok, Seahorses are an exception, but that's because they're backwards. Either way, however, this does make Vamprah's femininity very easy to realize. It's all just up to how people, and Matoran, wish to perceive things.

In the end, however, all evidence does link to Vamprah being a male, and to ensure the authenticity of this statement, we checked BIONICLEsector01. They were right.

You must admit though, Vamprah would make a stunning female.
