The RPG Contest is finally up and I entered.

First attempt, I've been waiting for this, hope I do well.

Bionicle Knights

Story:

On the somewhat medieval island of Darshu-Nui there are no Toa, though there are threats. As a way to stop these threats experiments were undergone on some Matoran, these experiments were made to try to force them into Toa form.

They failed horribly, most of the Matoran died in the process, those who survived died shortly after, but something different happened. Those that had survived had come in contact with others, and those others were affected. They gained new powers, like the ability to use Kanohi, limited other powers like elemental, personal and more.

These Matoran were trained to become warriors by the Turaga of the island, but without the power to be Toa, and above the average Matoran, they became a new force, they would be called Knights.

The Knights, a faction of the island Darshu-Nui specifically, trained, they learned how to use Noble and to an extent, Great masks in rare cases, learned to control limited amounts of their elemental powers (like what Av and Shadow can do), and learned to master their weapons. Together, as this new faction, they fight the Rahi that threaten the island, occasional Dark Hunters looking to take over the island, rogue Knights and more.

The story takes place approximately during the time of the Final Battle, so the Nuva are in Karda-Nui’s sky and swamp, the Makuta are there, some are elsewhere, D.H. are fighting them, Order is preparing for war, etc.

The Island:

The center is a large mountaintop shrine, the city spreads out around the island, just one large city of white buildings, sort of medieval buildings, nicely crafted, etc. Though all villagers live together, there still are associations between each other, like the Le Matoran, though don't live together, most of them in the Knights work on training Gukko, Nui-Rama and other flying Rahi to train for combat, etc. I'll post a map sometime soon.

Rules:

No god-modding

No killing another player

No killing an enemy unless permission is received to do so

Your rank starts as level 3 (see below)

No killing an NPC like the Turaga

No trying to change the story

No doing something like, “I walked to the shore of the island, looked out to sea, and saw thousands of enemy ships coming to slaughter us all.”

No making attacks on the island like above, but I refer to it as a lesser extent

Players won’t have a huge impact on story, I do have an idea on where to take it, so for the players its more so just living, fighting, interacting, etc. until the main story begins

No being an enemy, like no betraying us on your first chance, PM me if you want to do so

You must start with a Noble Kanohi at highest, you can get Great as you become higher leveled

For custom masks PM me

Battling:

You and another will begin fighting each other, just spend some posts battling and the winner will be decided amongst yourselves, either by you two deciding, or if you can’t I will based on how well you’ve followed the rules of the RPG, etc.

The same applies when fighting NPC’s, but it’s up to me when/if you can finish the fight (kill the enemy), etc.

Powers:

If you choose to be a Ko-Matoran you get ice elemental, Ta gets fire, etc.

For your “Personal Powers”, as you level up (see below) they increase. Like you could choose something like Scan as your ability, let’s say it just scans the area, maybe ten feet around you to begin with. As you level up the range increases, more detail is found, etc.

For your Knight Powers you start with:

Enhanced strength, speed, and mind.

As you become higher these attributes increase, like when you become level 4 (you start at Knight 3 (see below)) maybe you want more speed, so your speed increases, etc.

Levels:

You start as Level 3 of Knights. That is a basic level in the Knight Faction, 1 being someone who has just found their powers and joined the Knights. It can go up to 12 which is Grand Knight, 11 through 8 are whatever you want to call yourself, 8 being the level where you can start training new recruits, 12 being a leader to all Knights.

An example, mine:

Name: Koji

Appearance: Normal Matoran body, wears a white cloak around him to signify his level and his sword at his left side.

Weapon (s): sword, like a saber (like a marine saber)

Level (3 at highest): 9 (yes, mine would be a higher rank than yours for the purpose of training)

Personal Power: Rose Petals: his ice is used to make the illusion of petals floating around in the air to distract the opponent and impale them at a high level.

Kanohi: Noble Mask of Intangibility

Personality: cold, intelligent, honorable, loyal, ready to die for his students

Bio: He came in contact with one of the first survivors and quickly discovered his powers and joined the Knights. He’s been part of it for years and as such has risen up to Level 9.

Anything else you want to add: Teaches most level 3’s.

Wish me luck for getting it in the contest and in the contest itself.
