Y'all know the drill. Here's the discussion topic, here's where I'll post the game news; you discuss and put up profiles and stuff for approval. That sort of thing. Game News (to be updated weekly): The Frostelus and Kavinika and other cold-adapted wild Rahi living near Ta-Karda and Ko-Metru both seem to be getting more restless as of late, and reports from travelling hunters have confirmed that they seem to be moving closer to the cities, and the more intelligent Frostelus seem to be indicating a wish to attack. The cities are preparing their defences as of the current time in-game. (Link to Game) (Link to Profiles) Basic Template (With no guidelines):

Here is where you post your profiles up after they've been approved in ye olde DISCUSSION TOPIC, so you can use them in that nice little GAME TOPIC. Basic Template (With no guidelines): ~Anywho, my profiles~ Name: Maira (Mah-ee-rah, for those wondering about the pronunciation. Three syllables.) Species and Gender: Male Toa of Fire Appearance: While before he had been a regal-appearing champion of the Matoran, over the years working the forges Maira has ended up a grizzled old Toa, with numerous scars and burn marks running along his armour, his heavy musculature (from manning the bellows a lot) shows rather prominantly. His armour is solid and of a bronzen colouration (actually plated with bronze, the base metal is black iron), though tarnished with age and soot. His mask is shaped rather like that of Lhikan's Hau. Kanohi: Maira wields a bronze-coloured Kanohi Pakari, though wear and tear has led it to become tarnished, covered with soot, and as with his armour, the black base metal is beginning to show in places. Weapons: Originally wielding a long-bladed steel saber, Maira has long since cut his weapon down to a more utilitarian cutlass length. Its hilt is of solid bronze, the same colour of his armour - of what his armour used to be, as he has generally kept his weapon in much better condition than his armour - and the blade is of similar length to a machete, gently curved and ending in a devastating spear point. Gear: For regular gear, Maira has a heavy cloak and very thick general clothing, to maintain his body heat, as well as a general utility knife (similar to a bowie knife in shape), and a satchel to carry his food and any trinkets and such. And, of course, his sword's sheathe. Abilities, Powers, and Skills: Though he hasn't had much opportunity to practice his combat skills, Maira is still a deft swordsman, though - in accordance with the Toa code - he will never strike to kill, not intentionally. On the other hand, he's never lost his skill with his element, as he's had to use it - and his physical strength, which is rather great even without the Pakari - almost every day since the winter first started. Personality: Though he was never a lighthearted Toa, in the long years of winter Maira has gone from being simply a serious though sometimes-jovial Toa to being a bitter, cynical man. Still, he's never lost sight of the code that he has followed since he became a Toa, nor does he put himself before others; as well, he has never once allowed his goals and ambitions to be crushed like he has been. Weaknesses: Obviously, Maira holds a weakness to the cold; being a Toa of Fire, he was never comfortable in it, but now, after having worked in the furnaces and forges for so many years, he's become so accustomed to warmth that if his clothing is removed and his element doused, he will rather quickly succumb to the cold - if he doesn't panic first. Biography: Maira was one of the first inhabitants of the Matoran Universe, created by the Great Beings as a member of the species for which that universe was named, the Matoran. He wasn't native to Ko-Nui, instead living on an island far to the North; eventually, though, he made the transition to being a Toa, and left to find a land and people to protect. Eventually, he settled upon a small farm-island in the southern reaches of the domes, with a thriving, mid-sized population. He made quick friends with a couple natives of the island, a Fe-Turaga named Verrus who was the leader of those on the island, and a recently-transformed Toa of Ice named Kova. While Kova protected the Ko-Matoran in their mountainous community, Maira remained down in the lowlands, protecting the farmers and workers. However, once winter came about, Maira found himself trapped outside, searching for others to bring back to the dock city. Still, he managed to power his way through to the dock city, relying on his elemental abilities to keep himself and those he had saved alive - only to immediately be put to work upon arriving back at what had been renamed Ta-Karda, as one of those able to keep the bellows for the forges going. As the years passed, he saw his friend Kova become the head administrator of Ko-Metru, he watched Verrus succumb to the cold one day, no longer able to remain warm, and his outlook and general mood gradually changed to a bitter one, a smouldering anger fuelling him more as each day went on. Name: Kova (Koh-vah) Species and Gender: Male Toa of Ice Appearance: Kova is of tall, thin appearance, seeming to be quite a bit older than he actually is, when one looks at the lines on his face, how dull and cynical his eyes seem to be, and his almost frail body. With a generally pale white body, his armour and mask are grey with ice-blue accents. rather lacking in scars and wear that might be expected of any other Toa's equipment. Kanohi: Kova wears a Kanohi Hau, with removable polarized ice-blue coloured eye lenses; he generally wears those only when he has to go outside. Weapons: Kova wields a single-handed sword, similar to an arming sword, though with a longer, thinner blade, with an unsharpened ricasso and a spur on the back edge of the weapon; it has a prominent teardrop-shaped pommel, a large finger ring, and an outward-curving knucklebow to protect the rest of his hand. It looks rather like this. Gear: Kova has a general utility knife, similar to a seax, and a shorter version of that knife - with fork and spoon - for eating with. He also has general writing materials, a fountain pen, ink, a brush, and paper - either in cut sheets or large rolls. His only clothing is generally a heavy cloak, and he has a satchel - that varies as a backpack - to carry his items. As well, obviously, he has a sheathe for his sword. Abilities, Powers, and Skills: Kova is trained well enough with his sword to protect himself for a short time, though that's it - he isn't much of a fighter. He prefers to use his sword or element to defend himself for a moment, and then get himself and whoever is with him away quickly, rather than to fight. As for his element, he can use it in either general, large applications, or small applications with quite a bit of finesse. Beyond that, though, he is an excellent administrator, able to keep Ko-Metru in a rather stable state, though his influence is limited in Ta-Karda. As well, his survival skills in the icy wilds are unparalleled by any on Ko-Nui. Personality: First off, it must be said that justice, the preservation of order, and the preservation of life are two of Kova's main goals. If somebody has commited a bad enough crime or is threatening the lives of others around them, Kova will not hesitate to either kill them or have them killed if there is no other solution. He never hesitates to act as he sees he must, and while he doesn't rule with an iron fist, he doesn't let anybody have particularly free reign, either. He is rarely happy, as his work - and the conditions of those on the island - drain him quite a bit; the most anybody sees is a man as grim and icy as the world around him. Weaknesses: Kova isn't a fighter, preferring diplomacy over battle, and won't last long in even a one-on-one duel. He's not strong, he's not fast, and he doesn't take hits well. Beyond that, he has made a few enemies and might make a few more, as his views on preserving order, life, and giving justice have caused him to both neglect the Toa code and show little mercy to those he feels have broken from what is a proper way to live. Biography: A native of Ko-Nui and a rather young man compared to some others on the island, Kova was one of those who first helped to expand Ko-Metru into the mountains surrounding the original city, as a Matoran; once Verrus (the island's original Toa) became a Turaga, Kova was one of those transformed to a Toa to fill his place. From then on he undertook the task of protecting the other Ko-Matoran and those who lived in Ko-Metru with them, though he worried about those who lived down in the farmlands - he had noticed that winters in the mountains had grown progressively colder and longer over the years, and feared that whatever caused that problem might cause the harshest of the weather to spread out and encompass the entire island. Once his fears were realized, Kova - already a premier survivalist on the island, and a gifted leader - took control of Ko-Metru and the Ko-Matoran host, first embarking on a rescue mission to Ta-Karda. It was he who suggested that the Ko-Matoran first lead the island, though his intention wasn't for them to remain in their position forever; he appointed the first Ko-Matoran governor of Ta-Karda, and he suggested that Ta-Toa and the other stronger Toa help to keep furnaces going to provide heat, until a better solution might be found. However, quickly conditions started to deteriorate further, for both cities, and so Kova tightened his hold on Ko-Metru and grasped harder the leash with which he held the governer of Ta-Karda, bringing order to the island in order to better preserve the lives of those upon it and give justice to those who need and/or deserve it, causing the island's culture to become what it is today.
