Wow, very excited for this new chapter, Greg. Even, though I didn't win the "Who Am I?" contest, I'm actually still pretty excited to meet this character. The way it sounds from you, it sounds like it's going to be awesome.

It's kind of funny that after BIONICLE officially ended is when it starts getting REALLY good. Not to get me wrong, I always enjoyed it, but now it's getting really interesting.

Edit: Ha, I bet now a lot of people are going to be cycling BS01 for potential matoran, toa, etc, who we haven't seen in a while to try and guess who is going to show up.

I would consider joining, but quite frankly I don't even know what it is. Is it like a writing contest?

So far, I don't have a lot of information on it.

I think he might be asking you specifically, Lady Kopaka. Whether or not you'll do anything with the remaining entries, like include them in another story?

That's what I'm understanding.

I really loved your entry, but sometimes with the entries, it had nothing to do with who had the 'better' character--sometimes it simply had to do with how well they could fit in the story, which was a bit of a bet for everyone, regardless if you had a fantasy one or not.

 

Hmm. Exactly. But, thanks for the compliments, he will now be a character that I'm going to develop. As well as other characters I have... I've actually been meaning to post the first chapter of an epic I've been working on, but I guess I'm not confident enough with the grammar. Oi.

Your grammar seems fine to me...I have terrible grammar, and I think I did okay with Glitch in the System. If you're that concerned, get someone to proofread for you.

Well, thanks again. And, I think you're being too modest as far as your grammar. But, would you proofread it?

Well, congratulations to all of the winners, it was indeed a fun and interesting contest. I guess my character was too fantasy type, for all the characters that won fit into the futuristic genre of your story. But, again, wonderful entries guys and congratulations once again!

Oi, sounds like you have been busy, Lady Kopaka. Hopefully, you had a fun time at the wedding; make it worth the 11 hours there and back. And, thankfully, it was only a minor crash, hopefully, it wont happen again.

I'm looking forward to the results, it was an interesting contest. As far as that November writing month thing, what is that exactly?

trying to sort out plans to move out just keep getting more complicated...

And as far as this goes...You can have not been more correct...

I was hoping I could submit this.

Name: Zanith

Species: Being.

Alignment: Wanderer

Gender: Male

Appearance: Wears a dark black cape that hides any other potential color that he might have, but what is seen is orange and silver. Has the appearance of that as a Toa, same height, size, and previously possessed powers similar to one, but consists of more organic tissue. In fact, in some cases he swears he could feel a heartbeat. It’s for that reason he believes he is just a being in his own right.

Weapon(s): Sword of Reminiscence. It holds all of his memories and allows him to view any of them at any time during his choosing. Unfortunately, ever since he’s mysteriously lost his Toa-like powers, he’s also lost the ability to harness that sword’s ability. In battle before, despite being reluctant to draw it, he used to surround it in a very strong layer of his power preventing the actual blade from sustaining battle damage. Ever since he’s lost his Toa-like powers, however, he is even more protective of it and now refuses to draw it all because of fear of it being destroyed.

Mask Power: Unknown if he actually has one. As far as he knows, it isn't powered.

Power(s): Former power was spirit. He feels that he still has powers, but for reasons unknown to him, he has never been able to actually harness them, and thus doesn’t understand them. Besides another thing, this could also get to him. Despite not being able to use his powers, he is still very tough and can take some damage if he were in the situation. In fact, Zanith oddly feels stronger than he once was.

Traits: He isn’t the one for confrontation; he likes to avoid it if he can. He keeps to himself, is usually very quiet, seems to be always lost in thought, contemplative, and is very careful at his actions. Aside from one fateful event, where he endangered his former team, he has never done anything reckless.

History:Back in his homeland he and his former team were charged with guarding a mysterious tower. For years they prevented infiltration from many beings ranging from dark hunters to even the simple Rahi. They never even thought about questioning what they were guarding until the one day they had no choice but to explore it. To this day none of his team exactly knew what they discovered, but upon doing so, Zanith’s Toa-like powers were mysteriously replaced with unknown ones, and an eerie entity started pursuing him. Aside from feeling no threat from it, he still does not understand it’s origins. And sometimes that could really frustrate him. He tries his very best not to think or talk about it, but considering it seems to manifest at random times, he sometimes could be on edge trying to anticipate it. One event when he tried to communicate with it he regrets, for, besides nearly getting himself killed, it endangered his former team. The exact reason he decided to leave them, although he misses them dearly. Zanith is still unsure if his team suffered any similar symptoms like he did, but refuses to search them out to even ask for he fears they would never forgive him.

Well, I definitely want to enter this contest. I just hope that I get my entry in before I move and lose my internet...

The time I tried watching the movie there were a few things going on around me so I couldn't actually get into it.

This does sound like an interesting contest, but for one, I'm not very good at drawing, MOCing I'm decent at but I don't exactly have access to my trove in California. And secondly, I can create a character, but the theme of your epic is futuristic, I'm not sure how well the characters I make would fit into it; I love creating fantasy-based characters.

Well write, then? Don't take away an opportunity from someone that actually enjoys entering a contest.

I'm for no contests as much as you guys are, but they're going to happen one way or another, unfortunately.

That sounds really weird. You won the Core War short story contest, but don't like contests that well? Why did you join, then? Not to get me wrong, I'm not mad or anything, it just came off as a little weird that someone who entered a short story contest, and won, but doesn't really care for contests. Did I miss something?

I believe a short story contest is a better idea, personally. More people could get involved with it because MOCing for some people isn't exactly easy; they could get discouraged at it. Plus, I think short story contests allow people to be more creative. It actually may be a good idea to do both kinds of contests. That way if by some chance a few people don't feel like writing a story they could take part in a MOC contest, then. But, if I would prefer one over the other; definitely a short story contest.

Well, that's good, have fun in California(I'm assuming that's why you put BrbCalifornia). But, does that mean you're not going to be able to be a judge?

COOL! Now I can sell my nifty bracelet for MONEY!

Wow, I had no idea you lived sort of close to where I used to live. You said you went to visit your grandpa in Sacramento? 20 miles from there is where I used to live at. I also remember going to Ghiradeli square last year, it was fun.

Wow, that's a good name, now the contest can officially start. Thank you for the name, Greg!

This is great!

 

Now if only I had the time to write my story!

Smoke, we're going to have around 2 months to complete our entries. We still have plenty of time...Unless you take forever to write?

Ya'know, just a suggestion, but maybe you could chosse two names, one that would be the male and one that would be the female.

He's picking a gender neutral name, because he only has limited names and he would like to save it for new characters in the storyline.

I can't wait to know his/her name. I hope you pick a name that lends well to both genders.

Neither can I, and yes, Greg has said it's going to be a gender neutral name.

Looking forward to it, Greg. Been waiting for this contest to officially start.

Any way you'll tell us how many names you have on that list?

Well, honestly, I am disappointed, but then again, probably anybody who didn't win is. At any rate, congratulations to the winners, hopefully Greg will have an opportunity to incorporate the winning entry into the storyline soon so we can start learning about this mystery character.
