Nobody expect Metru Nui inquisition! Sent to take the mask from winged zebra. My Mask!

IC: Tesla - Hallways "I don't think Tridax or whoever runs the school would be happy to see shore turtle running around his school," she looked on Destraz, "I think that he doesn't like me, so I will leave him alone." he turned back to Jitters, "now that I am familiar with this little being, what's your names?" OCC: Rewritten this. Misunderstood Toa Cykron's comment. Sorry, I have to leave now for like... 12 hours? You are both free to say "bye" as Tesla if you were in quick need of one.

IC: Tesla - Hallways "A... turtle?" she pondered for a while, "yeah, maybe I have read the word somewhere. I am a big bookworm, you see. Those glasses aren't even dioptric after all," she laughed, "I am Tesla, nice to meet you!" After sleeping, she was able to conversate properly. She tried to forget meeting of Sepulchral, but it just couldn't get out of her mind.

OCC: Let's do some interaction! Namely with Jitters (and Doubt?). Note: Tesla haven't ever seen turtle, so she recognize Destraz as unknown rahi. IC: Tesla - Dormitories > Hallways Tesla woke up. Thinking about how long was she sleeping, she stood up and stretched. Tesla was happy that she was smaller than usual Rahkshi, as she had few centimetres to hit ceiling of dorm with her hand. But on the other side, she needed assistance for higher shelves in library. Whatever, this is how I was created, she thought, I have to deal with it. She opened door of her dorm and locked behind her. Hallways were more lit than her dorm. It took her eyes few seconds, but then, they were ready for another long day. As she was going down the hall, she noticed two Rahkshi talking with each other. That wouldn't be that strange. Strange think was a little rahi crawling slowly across the hallway. Two Rahkshi seemed to talk about the rahi as they were pointing at it. She came to rahi and stooped to examine it closely. It was watching Tesla, looking little bit frightened of her glasses. "What a funny being," she smiled. She stood up straight and turned to Jitters, "what is this little rahi? I haven't ever seen anything like it."

This looks really awesome! Is it Rahi or sentient bird-like creature? Besides, I am not even sure whether Okoto has Rahi or there should be used different term.

Can I worship you as a first ever person to join my first ever BZPower game? I am curious about how game will play. It should be pretty slow, but as players conquer other areas and their original tribes dissapear, game should start running faster, because 2 players are more likely to answer quickly. Otherwise, game should take no longer than 30 days, which is still pretty long time for 8 player game. About 8 players, I have decided for lower number, because it would be really hard for me to manage more for this type of game. There were 8 tribes on Spherus Magna and it perfectly fits 3x3 grid with NPC in center for some extra excitement.

Actually, there is not an actual need for any programming skills or something like that. We are just slowly getting close to the point where development actually starts. If you are able to write gramatically right and make it nice-looking (thing I am basically unable to do), you can join us! Your work will be visible for everybody playing. Just as graphics in other fangames, here goes nice-looking description of what your character is facing.

Designer of that mask doesn't deserve to live.

I send Fat Lewa the soaring missile. Bye bye, Nagasa-Koro. Wait, you were in. My Mask!

Great Beings were ruling their people peacefully for thousands of years. But as population was growing, they were unable to control everything. Last straw was chaos created by plague, which struck Spherus Magna. They decided to create eight powerful Element Lords, each ruling their assigned tribe. Soon after creation of Element Lords, Energized Protodermis started escaping planet’s core, due to building of Giant Robot, later known as Mata Nui. In hunger for power, Element Lords started wars between tribes to get each other’s Protodermis. As so began the long and cruel Core War. Become one of eight Element Lords in ongoing Core War. Train your troops and conquer adjacent lands to get Energized Protodermis. Think strategically and create alliances with other tribes to become more powerful. Beware the Skrall, dangerous species, which may strike suddenly without warning. Claim whole area of Spherus Magna before the Shattering happens! Setup On the very beginning of the game, you take role of random Element Lord (Fire, Water, Ice, Sand, Earth, Jungle, Rock or Iron) and are assigned to your corresponding Tribe. Your place on Spherus Magna is chosen randomly. There are 9 positions, aligned to 3x3 grid with Skrall area in center. Three positions have advantages. South-west (bottom-left) area can’t be attacked until it lost its immunity by attacking other tribe. This immunity falls automatically at start of round 10. East (center-right) area has permanent defense bonus +1. At start you get 2 defense units, increasing defense by +2. When Skrall (center) area is controlled by player, it receives permanent attack bonus +1. Round Game is turn-based and divided into rounds with each player having one turn. In odd rounds (1st, 3rd...), order of player’s is generated randomly and in following rounds, order is reversed. Each round, player chooses between three different actions: training troops, increasing your attack value by +1, training defense units, increasing your defense by +1 and attacking adjacent tribe. You perform one action for each area you have. Additionaly you can use your Glatorian or Legend (not both in one turn). Using them don’t counts as action (you can for example use Glatorian and train troops in the same turn) and most of effects are applied before action. Game definitely ends at the end of round 30 by the Shattering (if the game will be running smoothly, I can extend it). Player with highest amount of tribes conquered wins. Game can have 2 or more winners in case of draw. Taking over all 9 areas also makes you win. Attacking If all other conditions are met, you can attack ever since round 6. When you choose to attack, all of your troops are sent to attack chosen tribe. You can’t choose to send only part of your troops (This is also where defense units get useful). Each tribe’s troops work independently, even if they are owned by same player. I tried to make attack as simple as possible, but it is still too complicated. I have made a calculator (it works 99.9% right) to ease the things. You don’t really have to read attack mechanics below, but that’s up to you. Skrall Skrall perform one action on end of each round, starting by round 6. They can’t be attacked, but can attack. Their attack is performed in same way player attack is performed, but if they win, they left area without single defense unit or troop, making it vulnerable to other tribes. Their attack is controlled by me (or random.org). I randomly generate number between 1 and 12. There is 1 in 12 chance for each tribe to be attacked by them, and 1 in 12 chance for each +1, +2 and +3 attack boost for next round. Basic attack is 4 and permanently increases every 5 rounds with first increase in round 10 (r9 = 4, r10 = 5, r15 = 6). Their current attack will be always announced on start of each round. Whoever is first to have three tribes will automatically claim Skrall area, making it work as normal area (with +1 attack bonus). It can attack every area on Spherus Magna (including corners), but also can be attacked by every area (including corners). That makes it strategically important and vulnerable at the same time. Glatorian Glatorian and Legends gives each tribe special ability. Glatorian’s ability can be used more times (each have different cooldown) and is bound to area, so you can use different abilities for each of your owned areas. Legends can be used only one time and their effect applies for all your owned areas. If you conquer new area, you cannot use it’s Legend, even if it wasn’t used by previous owner. Fire Tribe Legend: Ackar - Increase your attack power by +2 for next turn (all areas) Glatorian: Perditus - Train 1 troop unit immediately (once per 4 rounds) Water Tribe Legend: Tarix - Increase your defense power by +1 for next 3 rounds (up to 4 chosen tribes) Glatorian: Kiina - You can’t attack and can’t be attacked in next round (once per 5 rounds) Ice Tribe Legend: Strakk - You can’t be attacked in this and next round. You also can’t attack this round (all tribes) Glatorian: Gelu - Choose one adjacent tribe. It can’t perform any actions, but Glatorian and Legends (once per 5 rounds) Sand Tribe Legend: Malum - All enemies have defense power decreased by -1 for next 2 rounds (all other tribes) Glatorian: Vorox - Increase attack by +1 for next 2 rounds (once per 7 rounds) Earth Tribe Legend: Nuhviix - Control one adjacent area’s actions in next round, making it able to attack even on it’s own tribe’s area. Everything goes as in regular attack. Glatorian: Ontaru - Disable (NPC or player controlled) Skrall area for it’s next turn (once per 5 rounds) Rock Tribe Legend: Stronius - Increase your attack power by +1 permanently. Can’t be used until round 15. (all owned areas) Glatorian: Branar - Destroy 2 defense units of chosen adjacent area. (once per 6 rounds) Jungle Tribe Legend: Vastus - Increase your defense power by +3 for next turn (all areas) Glatorian: Gresh - You can attack any area adjacent to your adjacent areas (excluding Skrall area) (once per 8 rounds) Iron Tribe Legend: Telluris - Choose one tribe to have -1 defense for 3 rounds. Can’t be used until round 12. (all areas of one tribe) Glatorian: Skorpoku - Train 2 defense units immediately (once per 7 rounds) Rules 1. All BZPower rules applies. That’s an obvious one. 2. Post your actions (including Glatorian and Legends activation) here, not in PM. 3. In order to speed things up, do not wait for your turn, but instead post as soon as possible (if it is not necessary for your strategy to know what other person will do). All turns will be performed when everybody does their turn. 4. Limit for each round is 24 hours. It might be extended on special occasions. (It is an upper limit, 6-hours round would be great!) 5. If you don’t respond in 24 hours limit for first time in row, you will automatically train troops. Second time is idle (no action). 6. If it happens 3 times in row, all your areas will be deserted with 2 defense units and 0 attack units, leaving them vulnerable to your neighbors. You can’t ever come back then. Your areas are also deserted if you miss 6 turns totally. There might be very special exempts, but don’t rely on them. Feedback Before game starts, I don’t have problem with any suggestions. It took me a while to write this down, but I would like to hear, if something can be better. Same goes for questions. If you misunderstood something, ask me. Remember that stupid questions are better than stupid playing. Or something like that. Lovely picture on top was made by me with Inkscape and GIMP.

Basic summary of current state of project Project is currently in state of designing. We (I and evil_jaga_genius) are trying to recreate Bionicle story and make it something you (probably) haven't ever seen before. With new plot, new Matoran Universe. I can't tell you more to not be spoiled. Main plot is kinda complete, now we are designing more detailed parts of story. Game will be text-based, playable as singleplayer with occasional interaction between players. Game will be story driven, but still open world, as you have seen in MNOG. You will be able to explore, collect resources, trade with NPCs (and other players) and explore unpredictable story. I am sad I can't tell you more, because it would spoil a lot, but game will start on Mata-Nui and will include other slightly altered, well-known places from the original timeline. Just don't expect them to be what you remember. If you would like to participate in project, feel free to PM me. There is a whole lot of what have to be done!

I am happy that I have took Tesla to Dormitories to rest. Wanted to go to the Gym, but... I am just happy she didn't. What's that Phantom got destroyed thing? I mean, Phantom-on-the-Water was destroyed?

A mountain in Ko-Wahi, used by Teridax for recreation. He have built a spa there, giving job to Rahkshi, which aren't able to fight because of damage they suffered. Other Makuta also commonly visit this place, because there is nothing better than thermal water after a day full of terrorizing Matoran. Menis Hirri

I condensate you. How do you like that? My Mask!

Energized Protodermis Takadox

IC: Tesla - Refectory > Dormitories Tesla finished her meal and gone to Dormitories. She didn't felt like doing something and she wasn't able to get electromagnetism from her mind. It's pitty, she thought, I can't use magnetism to create electricity. She has gone to her room and sat on her bed. When she lay on her bed, she fell asleep after just few seconds.

IC: Tesla - Library > Refectory: That was embarrassing, next time I start conversation, I have to not be tired, she sighed as she was on her way from the Library to the Refectory, and strange... She arrived to Refectory and got her bowl of thing. She sat down on nearest empty stop and began to eat. It wasn't looking any near tasty. Whatever, she was hungry. OCC: Open for interaction. Cursive are obviously just thoughts. *banging the head into the wall*: Should have made more clear that she can be stopped on her way from the library.

IC: Tesla - Library: 'Oh, ok,' she responded. She took a book from Sepulchral and looked at it from both sides. 'Why are you studying such a sad theme?' she looked in his eyes, but suddenly returned book to him, 'sorry for being annoying, I am always like that when I am tired,' she yawned, 'I should go somewhere tomorrow. To some place, which is, ahem, not library,' she smiled, 'sorry for disturbing, you probably have your reasons for studying war and things and being in library, so... Bye!'

IC: Tesla - Library: She couldn't seen anyone possibly screaming. But as she stood up, she suddenly felt tired. Physics was something hard to think about and she spent probably few hours in library. She closed her book, returned it into the shelf and decided to go to her room to take a short nap. As she was on her way out of library, she saw Sepulchral, searching for something. 'Hello, are you searching for something?' she said. Library was her most frequently visited place and she knew she might help. OCC: That looks even worse than I ever imagined my first RPG interaction...

IC Tesla - Library: TL;DR: Scientific gibberish about electromagnetism Tesla was just reading 'Basics of Electromagnetism'. She originally wanted to skip few chapters about electricity. But she quickly got into it and decided to read whole book. Bond between magnetism and electricity seemed interestingly strong. She read the book carefully, chapter after chapter including notes for Corpus students. What at start looked like perfect way to get electric elemental powers using her own magnetism powers... It seems like magnetism caused by electromagnetism is slightly different thing than her elemental power. It might be possible to make strong magnet out of piece of metal and move it to create induction, but it would really difficult, weak and requiring really strong magnetic elemental powers. She won't be able to power single lightbulb with her current powers... Deep in her book, she suddenly heard somebody shouting. Go scream to gym, jerk, she thought and stood up to look who was actually screaming.

Let the hunt begin! Hue hue hue hue!

Others would probably recognize her as a female, but she don't personally feels neither as boy nor as girl. So she basically don't feel like girl, but can accept fact that people would refer to her as a girl. And yeah, glasses are to make her look smarter. I don't get how Rahkshi's eyes works, but I believe they can either work perfectly or be damaged to not work at all (and there is nothing possible between those two options). I will edit her profile to make gender thing more clear. Is she now officially approved? Btw: Quick question. There is pretty well-known thing called electromagnetic induction. Slightly simplified, electric field can cause magnetic field to appear and magnetic field causes electric field to appear. Do you think it would be possible in Corpus to create little amount of electricity using magnetism if this ability was used only on metal objects?

That Murder thing is just 300px high do I won't participate in that experiment.

0/5 +1 MYSTERY, that makes 1/5
