Hey, does anybody want to join my soon-to-be-created Order of Assassins? I'm making a new character, and he needs members for the Order. And yes, it is based off of that order of assassins.

Very good! It even goes to the tune of "we didn't start the fire"... that is a very good set a lyrics there, sir.

Bionicle has better weapons, but Hero Factory is pure technology... so, unfortunately, this time I support Hero Factory.

In my timezone, it was up on the 13th, since I live on the west coast of the U.S. And it's good that it made you giggle, since laughter is the best medicine.

Read all of them... pretty good, too. The last one is apparently going to be called "The Last Guardian". Not sure what that means, though.

Hey I remember the Andalite! Good representation of it (although I admit the face could be a bit better, but than again, there are so many blue pieces around for a face.)! The shark is also cool. I think Fangz's head looks better on a shark than it does on the actual set.

Wow... cool MOC! Love the use of Rocka's helmet as a head! The color scheme of black and gold is good, too.

Cool! A great work of art from a great comic artist. Love this pic.

I see... I'll take your suggestion, and I might try that soon. And no, my niche isn't writing (I'd rather RP), but thank you for your encouraging words!

The change is okay... I really like the fact that posting is a lot easier than before, and there are more smilies, too. The fact that the avatar is just a smaller personal photo is fine with me, but some people might not like it. The only thing I don't like is that all of the old topics will have to be reposted, which will probably take a while to do. But overall, the change is pretty good for six months of no forums.

My "Holy Grail: of sets would be either the Bahrag or the Taraava. I never got them, but I was obssessed with them, especially with the Tarakva's appearance in the MNOG.

My very first bionicle set was Tahu Mata, since he was so cool, and still is for me, even today.

Let me remember... the last Bionicle set I bought was the PowerPack off of Bricklink... mostly for the silver Rua/Hau

Ah... the RPG is back... but the Xa-Kuta is gone... this will be very interesting, indeed... not sure if this will help my character or not...

I know, right?

Heh I hope not the last thing I need is another 6 months of downtime...

Dead Characters: Kinvex, Aurax (RIP)Characters still in use: Name: Marohi Kamaka Species: Po-Matoran Gender: Male Kanohi: Powerless Matatu (noble-shaped) Weapon: Metal trekking pole that can extend to twice its length. It has a sharp pointed end to it. It can also be thrown like a spear. This trekking pole is also decorated with feathers and charms. Appearance: Body color tan, black feet and mask. Alignment: Po-Koro Guard Personality: Believes in what is right and just. Strong sense of justice. Gruff and soldier-like. Weakness: Although strong, being a Po-Matoran, he’s still weak compared to other beings. Note: Marohi's profile is only here for now. He will become more of a character next year in the BZPRPG 2013.

Shaped like Antroz's Jutlin, but with a scar over the left eyehole.Power: Blackfire (custom element approved by Emzee). Blackfire appears to be the same as normal fire, but there's one big difference: where fire provides light, blackfire sucks it in. The more blackfire there is, the more light it takes in.Bio: When Zenix was a Matoran, he was a psychologist. He always loved those fascinating tales of ambition, greed, and evil. His research revealed one big thing: in all those stories, the main character turned evil, and, most of the time, became a servant of Makuta. Something dawned upon him that day, and he became convinced that everyone turns to the shadows eventually, and those that are unwilling will eventually will lose hope. Upon his transformation into a Toa, Zenix willingly chose to follow the shadowy path of Makuta, calling himself the "Seeker of Shadows". Zenix used his psychological talent and mask to convince people to serve the Makuta. Weapons: twin black gladii that can be combined into a large, double-bladed weapon, although his mind is his greatest weapon.Appearance: Nobody really knows for sure, since he always wears a hooded trenchcoat with his hood up. The only thing people can see of him are his two red eyes staring out from under the hood. He often shapeshifts to further disguise himself.Personality: Cruel, cunning, and very, very intelligent.

He has four eyes, as well as two mandable-like fangs protruding fromt he sides of his Faxon. The being 'crawls' across the ground hunched over. His orange and black armor itself is segmented like a shell. His limbs are long and thin, but he is surprisingly strong. Four smaller secondary, less noticable limbs come out below his normal ones. His hands an feet have three hooked claws.Alignment: EvilPersonality and Traits: Spyder, unsurprisingly, acts like a spider. A chattering sound emerges from his mouth whenever he speaks, and he mainly uses his Faxon as well as his elemenyal power to make webs.

To celebrate BZPower's return, I have created a short story (a really short story) that parallels the Legend of Mata Nui... here it is: In the time before time, there was the greaet Lego toyline called Bionicle.From the legend that is Bionicle, there was created two fansites, named BionicleZone and Kanohi Power. Over time, members were drawn to those internet paradises, but they were seperate. In a great collaboration, the leaders and protectors of each site, the Staff, created the special paradise that is known today as BZPower. The members enjoyed a relative peace, and doing things such as talking, MOCing, and RPGing.But the peace was not to last...Over time, the site was plagued by the dark force called the Downtime, who caused BZPower to crash for weeks, even months, at a time. This went on for many years, and eventually the Staff realized that they must face the Downtime by doing something unheard of. The Staff decided to give BZPower the upgrade to end all upgrades! The Staff announced it, and the members scrambled to make last-minute posts before the site was turned offline...Then, soon, it was offline...The members were shut out of the forums, and only had the news to satisfy their hunger for Bionicle. The Staff worked at full speed to upgrade the site, but the Downtime had other plans in mind. It sent the plagues of errors, bugs, and glitches to slow down the Staff in their goal. The staff were indeed slowed, and this caused the upgrade to be long and dark... but, finally, after six months of nothing but news, the Staff made a breakthrough: they had created an archive for all the old postings and pictures. The members were overjoyed, but they still awaited for the return of the forums.And finally, they did return.On this day, October 13, 2011, the forums had finally returned. And all rejoiced... So, what do you guys think?

Let me think... graduated 9th grade... played lots and lots of videogames over the summer... went to a museum... worked at a mini-museum... started 10th grade... did homework... downloaded LDD... got a few stories on the front page... waited a VERY LONG TIME for the forums to come back

I think that "The Great Downtime" would be a good name for this... but "The Shattering" also sounds good!Off topic: I am so happy I now have a spinny mask for me being on BZP a whole year...
