New And Notes


GregF

6,415 views

-- Good news to start with -- I have gotten permission to get a whole new list of approved names done for 2010 and 2011, which means we will be able to have some new named characters in the story!

 

-- Plague tribe's element is ... iron. Yes, I know, that doesn't match their armor color, but there is a reason for that, which will get revealed in an upcoming mini-serial on BIONICLEstory.com called Sahmad's Tale.

 

-- Look for more info on the Psionics power on Monday, same place.

Iron Tribe? Pretty awesome sounding. Glad you went with the idea for the Sahmad serial. I am going to love 2010!

Yay! New characters! That's great news!

 

Over in GD we're currently discussing whether there should be more females in the story, and, well, we don't seem to have any female Agori... maybe that will change in the new serial.

Iron makes sense. They are rust-coloured after all.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

 

Though I'd like to see dark-reddish and brown, possibly old-bronze-green in there, too.

 

But green is oxidized copper, not Iron.

And iron makes sense, after 1000's of years of tribelesss neglect, their (hopefully) iron armor rusted to an orange.

Night Terror is on point -- while I am not planning a "name dump" into the story in 2010, if I decided, say, to do a flashback story, or to go into the red star, or to go to Bota Magna, I really can't do that if I have no new names.

My thoughts exactly.

 

It'll be great to see some new names.

Thank you Greg.

 

Iron is an excellent choice, and the Sahmad serial is something which many members have been wanting for a while now, including myself. :D

 

Also, new Psionics info? Sounds great.

 

Also, new names for 2010-2011? Even better. :happydance:

Okay thirty new dudes running around doing their own thing is way too many... Maybe only like five or six at a time?

Looks like the storyline is going to be good.

Yeah, that'd be great, Erebus. Xiirahk or Zirahk or what was it again? As far as I remember, Xiirahk was rejected, but what about Zirahk? If that's been rejected, too, maybe one of those thirty new names could be a Rahkshi of Heat Vision.

Wait, what? I never said anything here today. You're confusing me with Electric Turahk. :P

Anyways, I am glad Iron was chosen. I too originally thought that was a great idea.

Also, one could say that rust from metal is orange.

 

Yeah, sorry. I was quite tired yesterday and just read a post of you in the OGD in another tab, then switched the tab to Greg's Blog and... well, you know, accidents happen :lol:,

Remember that the names are not only for characters; they can be used for masks, Rahi, etc.

Greg, please pass on our gratitude to the company for funding this name list. :)

If only they were around long enough to get an EL. Now THAT would have been amazing.

 

But hey, good news is good news. :)

To be honest, i don`t like the idea of adding more characters. Yes, maybe just a few Great Beings, Agori, Glatorian and alike, but thirty new personalities? No thanks.

 

Iron. Interesting choice... so no Element Lord here, i guess.

 

And what is that with Psionics?

The EL of iron might have died in the plauge. We still don't know :???:

No, because the plague happened before the ELs were even created. So there wasn't much of a tribe left by the time the GBs were concerned about making Element Lords to govern them.

Greg, you are awesome.

 

Unnamed characters can now have names! Sahmad and Telluris now have an element! Psionics is the coolest EP ever made!

I love this, I really love this.

 

That's a lot of names. :)

GregF, gotta say this is too great. The serial's are my favorite part, AND I was just wondering about Sahmad. EPIC!

yay new characters and whats a mini serial compared to a normal serial

Greivous's Malevolence

Iron's good. I suppose the reason for that has something to do with the Iron Matoran in the MU, though. There has to be a correlation.

I guessed Earth or Iron as elements a while ago, because

 

*Tellus, telluris (lat.) = earth

*Tellurium (short "Te", in German "Tellur") is a metalloid chemical element, number 52 of the periodic table

 

I don't know whether Greg knew this when he decided their element, but it makes sense.

Iron tribe ? Well I thought "Plagued tribe" sounded better but I think it makes sense considering that Sahmad and Telluris were both part of vehicle sets.

Problem is that "Plagued Tribe" was never an official name. It was merely a placeholder name until we learned the actual element of the tribe.

The names sound interesting, that's for sure. Glad to see Psionics is finally an element. I also look forward to the upcoming serial. Will it elaborate more on the Plague Tribe?

 

Anyways, thanks for the update!
