GM IC - THE HOST - OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS
 
"Attention, attention!" The Host's voice boomed through the speakers of the facility, rife with his typical enthusiasm. "I have two very important announcements to make!"

There was a pause as he cleared his throat.

"First of all, for those of you who have not openly rebelled against our hospitality, there is an exciting new opportunity on the horizon: Mechanized combat devices! Or mechs, as some say.

These mechs are suits of robotic armor, custom tailored to their owner's wishes, and bought at the cost of three lives from the Infinite System. A special area of the Training Sector will be opened for mech simulations, while the actual mechs will be stored (inaccessibly) between rounds. Don't want anyone blowing their robot armor to smithereens in the hallways!" In all likelihood, only the Host could be so jovial on such a topic.

"The mechs will be available in the near future, and orders are now open in the Commercial Sector!

This is something we've decided to cook up as a reward for fighters who follow the rules, play fair, don't start fights outside of the Arena...

And speaking of the Arena, round three will begin very soon! Be prepared, it's going to be exciting as always!"

With an audible click the Host was gone.

 

Name: Red Zeppelin

Species: Toa of Earth, diehard fan of blues-infused hard rock and prototypical heavy metal

Power/Weapon 1: Red carries no weapons save his marbled elbows, capable of cracking open a skull with heedless force. His fists and legs are also to be feared; he's fond of planting them hard into the ground, and once he's buried himself up to mid-calves in solid earth there is little that can budge him. 

Power/Weapon 2: Pakari-tier strength

Power/Weapon 3: A bottle of Salamander's Revenge from his home universe, the glass somehow tempered and thickened to the point where it can be used dependably as a weapon without shattering and spilling the alcoholic goodness within. He doesn't tend to use it in fights, though, unless he has to - he prefers not to use it for violent means.

Appearance: About a hand-and-a-half taller than the Toa average, and thick with muscle; Red's jaw is lantern-shaped and spare, his face stark and teeth massive, but his grin always betrays a certain cheerfulness, and scarlet eyes brim with energy, giving him a youthful cast. Bears midnight black armor, with some concession to bright red streaks on the vambrances, calves, and heartlight. Also wears a time-honored, faded Led Zeppelin t-shirt. 

Bio: Red hails from a universe bearing marked resemblance to that of the canon Matoran Universe, with one exception - he was born into a tribe of Toa in the Southern Islands who did not worship the Great Spirit, but instead worshipped a warrior-goddess whose very name was said to cause liquor cabinets to quake and fights to spark. Born under the light of this savage priestess, Red became a skilled brawler and drinker up and down the island chains, joining a small posse of fellow devotees before he stumbled into a congregation one day and saw a band performing worship music in the name of their goddess. When he quizzed concert attendees, he found out the band's name was Led Zepplin, and that they were pretty much like human Led Zeppelin except they were Bionicle. 

 

Red was hooked.

 

He became attending shows regularly until an accident in The Circle Pit left him hopelessly and frequently quoting Led Zeppelin. One day, while rambling on at home, he found himself sucked away from all he ever knew to join the tournament, and now he fights on, with pride nad vigor, in the name of his goddess and her gospel. 

Personality/Other: Soft-spoken and friendly, Red tends to serve best as a lowkey bastion of wisdom and advice, though he is more than willing to function as a party tank if need be, raising the question of whether there might be a little bit of a berserker's streak to him after all. Thanks to enhanced fanboyism and a concert accident, Red is almost entirely incapable of speaking in anything beyond the prose of his favorite band.

 

-Tyler

Unfortunately disapproved, mostly on account of the fact that you've made real-world connections within the character backstory that don't make sense and don't need to be there

We've accepted other profiles that are mostly jokes, and I think Red would be approved to if you had made more of an effort to actually fit him into Bionicle; as it stands he's just... a Led Zeppelin fan who happens to exist in a Bionicle story?

(Also the name is literally Led Zeppelin with one letter's difference c'mon Tyler)

Are we ever going to have a round, or what?

I sense a missing Chro in this equation.

pardon me, i'm constantly busier than expected

addressing profiles now

Neat! I like the ice, plant, and metal Toa the most, and I'd say my least favorite is the stone Toa.

The others are right about how the color schemes of the characters match color schemes of different elements (such as plasma instead of ice, psionics instead of water, air instead of plantlife...) IMO it doesn't really matter. Call 'em what suits your fancy. Heck, I've built a couple of blue Onu-Toa before.

As far as catching up on the story and "extended" elemental affiliations, BioSector01 is your friend. (On mobile at the moment, can't link it... just search up the name. )

What did you use for the White shoulders on the Ice Toa?

It looks like Mahri Visors, but in White.

Voted for Bionifight: Last Horizon

That's why I made it four with my game.

Let's do it

FINA-FREAKIN'-LLY
SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG


GM IC - GEM OF ???
 
The adventurers continued through the darkness. The uneventful walk was unnerving in itself, the torchlight casting just enough light on each party to navigate through the stone tunnels.
 
After what felt like hours, regardless of how long it had truly taken, the featureless tunnels were shaken, a deep rumbling noise echoing through the ground. As the earth shifted slightly, Ilyin's torch slipped from his grasp, clattering to the ground and going out.
 
The tremor subsided. Ilyin and Halken, now in darkness, would be able to faintly spy a glow of torchlight around a curve ahead of them.
 
Langmuir and Mirror heard footsteps approaching through the darkness. Uneasily stepping back and adopting a cautious fighting stance to reflect Langmuir's, Mirror was surprised to hear a faint, indistinguishable grumbling noise amongst to the footsteps - unmistakable as a curse let loose by Halken as he stumbled in the dark.
 
As Halken and Ilyin stepped into the torchlight and stopped advancing, a sickly silence fell over the tunnel.
 
"Well?" spoke the Matoran. "Let's see it, then."
Mirror blinked in confusion. "What are you talking about?"
"You know... a gem." His tone put Langmuir on edge. "There was supposed to be something in this tunnel, and we've found nothing, so you must have it."
 
"You are mistaken," the Toa spoke, his tone firm. "We have come across nothing of import."
"And we," Ilyin growled, "don't believe that for a moment. Er, right, Halken? We don't?"
"Indubitably so. What have you scoundrels concealed?"
"Nothing!" cried Mirror. His voice was defensive, frightened, his reply hasty. The voice of a liar if Ilyin had ever heard one.
 
The bearded Matoran turned to Halken. "I say we make them turn it over. They've got to have something."
Perhaps uncharacteristically, the Skakdi nodded and said nothing, glancing grimly towards the nervously shifting foes in his path.
 
Langmuir did not particularly want to fight. But if Halken and Ilyin had found something, and wanted to eliminate Mirror and himself to hide the evidence and take the gem for themselves... he would not stand for that. The Toa took a more confident stance, prepared for combat against his former cohorts.
 
The Gem of Disunity was about to take its toll.

 

 

 

OOC: Kuro has gained the Gem of Grounding. This gem can weaken electrical attacks against the bearer, and makes them immune to shock when touching the ground.

 

All Electric/Lightning users beware.

 

 

Weaken electrical attacks.... so it'll do nothing against the physical impact and burns caused by a lightning bolt? 

Well, if he's grounded (and has the gem), it'll reduce how much he's harmed by that... but obviously he isn't going to be immune to it.

>LDD

>Manages to make a good moc.

10/10 it's great.

hi there dane

Depending on its actual functions, it might.

Name: "Seven," real (but forgotten) name is Laefing

Species: Degenerate Toa

Power/Weapon 1: Power of Hunger. Similar to the Kraata power of Hunger, Seven can, if in physical contact with a being, sap their strength and energy away - and in turn, make himself stronger, creating a self-perpetuating cycle of energy consumption which, should the enemy not break free from the grip within fifteen seconds, will prove almost impossible for an enemy to break free from alone. However, this also extends to actual feeding - best effects are gained via the actual ingestion of enemies/living victims, either in part or in whole. Often, after grabbing onto an enemy, Seven will attempt to take a bite out of them.

Power/Weapon 2: Enhanced Physical Strength - Seven is powerful enough to rival any sub-type Skakdi or even any of the three Steltian species in sheer physical strength, although a Toa wearing a Pakari will still edge out over him. In fits of extreme rage, he is possibly even capable of ripping the arms off of those who he's fighting against, normally proceeding to eat them afterwards.

Power/Weapon 3: Rahkshi staff. Obtained from an unknown type of Rahkshi, this Rahkshi staff shares the near-invulnerability of all Rahkshi staffs, but one end is shaped like a Lerahk's staff but with a third point in the center, all three of them being quite sharp, while the other end is a very sharp blade, similar to that of a Naginata. Seven calls it his "knork."

Appearance: Seven is a very large being, only slightly reminiscent of being a Toa. He is now rather close to the size of a leader class Steltian when standing straight, although hunched over as he normally is, he's much closer to the size of a Gladiator Steltian such as Krekka...which is still quite large. His armour is primarily a shade of sickly slate-grey, although it has various rust spots over it, and his skin underneath is a hue of purple that appears black in all but the best light. His mask, formerly a Miru, has now fused to his face, and has adopted a much more predatory profile - as well, when Seven smiles that great, large, Miru grin, many fangs can be seen. Down his back run spines similar to those of Skakdi or (more accurately) Rahkshi, and his hands and feet have claws that he uses when fighting hand-to-hand. He also has a mask he keeps with him, either worn on a necklace or held in one hand as Seven lurches along the facility. This mask is a russet copper hue, and is a Kanohi Rode - however, it has numerous tooth marks in it and a quite noticable crack, making it completely unusable and merely an affectation Seven carries with him. He calls it "Six."

Bio: When he was originally created, Seven was known as Laefing. Laefing was a Toa of Light and a hero among his people, and like other Toa from his home universe, went by a number almost as much as by his name - Seven. Others, such as Nine and Ten, would have known of him and possibly met him. However, early on in his history, he was captured by the Makuta, before they were all sent away. These Makuta tortured him, and they twisted him, trying to create the perfect soldier for themselves, a Toa of Shadow, who could fight the other heroes of the land. Eventually these Makuta disappeared, leaving only the unfinished Seven, a slavening beast of nothing but hunger, mutated now into a larger version of his formerly handsome self, resplendent with teeth and claws and spines like a Rahkshi. Eventually he escaped his now-unwatched cell, breaking free from the chains he had been in. He went on the search for others he knew, and found one, named Six. Nobody knows for sure what happened to Six, although judging by the mask that Seven has carried with him since Six's disappearance...it can be guessed at.

While on the hunt for Nine, however, Seven was teleported to the Bionifight facility, and while he has no real knowledge of who it is that is in this place, he believes he can thrive...and that he smells a couple familiar scents in the facility as well.

Personality/Other: Seven is cruel. Seven is sadistic. Seven truly cares only for himself and his stomach, and no others. This is not to say, however, that he is unintelligent. Seven is a predator, and reflects that in his intelligence - it is built around hunting and destroying his enemies and nothing else, but he is very smart when it relates to that, and knows very well what to do. He is also very perceptive, and doesn't miss details - and he isn't gullible, either. However, despite all this, his mind can truthfully be said to be 'gone,' in the sense that Laefing, the man who once was there, isn't anymore - or if he is, he has no power. Seven is simply the animal that was left behind.

Seven approved. In probably any other RPG the power to eat people would not be okay, but it's balanced by the fact that characters can feasibly be instantly recovered due to the medical bay's systems.

GM IC - GEM OF GROUNDING
 
Kuro's blade redirected the electricity, and the orb - no longer suspended - dropped to the floor. The moment it touched the ground, the electricity in the room and in the tunnels behind them crackled one final time, then dispersed.
 
A seam appeared in the metal sphere, and it cracked in half, revealing a small, bluish gemstone inside.




OOC: Kuro has gained the Gem of Grounding. This gem can weaken electrical attacks against the bearer, and makes them immune to shock when touching the ground.

OOC: Guess I should move this along.

IC: Kuro and Prose/Gem of ???, Electric Maze Mk. II

After twists, turns, and the occasional backtracking, Prose had finally made it out. He sat down for a while to recover and take some deep breaths to calm down. Once he was done he threw the sword through the maze and bounced harmlessly off the floor into Kuro's hand.

 

Now it was Kuro who would make it through.

GM IC - GEM OF ???

As Kuro and Prose stepped to the other side of the electricity, finally having traversed the tunnel, they would round a corner to see a relatively small, round room ahead of them. A few steady arcs of electricity went from the walls directly to the center of the room, where they appeared to be holding up a metal sphere, about a quarter of a Kolhii ball in size.

back from inactive; too late to vote?

if not, i vote shadowhawk

Chro... Well Chro's perhaps my oldest rival. While I'm known for killing him, it's typically by my own hand, and frankly I lack that power this game and a lynching just doesn't hold the same personal feeling as taking his life myself.

If a character tried to conceal a gem unsuccessfully, they'd lose more than the gem, I bet. :P

knock knock

gaaaame?

Much better, Ichthys. We'll take a look at that for real this time.

Despite my intentions to return to activity, school has been beating me over the head with two phone books worth of homework these past couple weeks, so it's difficult. I'll try to be more active on the weekend.

Kuro and Prose are almost to their gem.

Disunity quest has a little ways to go but I appreciate how well they've kept the story running without my posts.

 

Name:

Ackthp Gthorboxious Singhbok Ngnngr Diiloxius Druzoobious Droxnoz.

 

My friends call me Ackthp. Also, Ralph*.

 

Species:

 

I am a Krana that lives on the face of a Toa. I'm not sure who he was before. 

 

Power/Weapon 1:

 

I have the power of launching myself onto people's faces, and turning them into my mindless puppet drone.

 

I can pat my head and rub my belly at the SAME TIME.

 

Power/Weapon 2: [Another power or weapon/tool]

 

I have a cordak gatling gun.

 

Power/Weapon 3: [Another power or weapon/tool]

 

The Toa I am controlling is a tool.

 

Ha ha, that was a joke.

 

I have a large curved blade that serves as glider wings when attached to my back. The Toa had this on him when he kindly made room for me in his brain.

 

Appearance: 

 

I look sort of like a rubbery blue Kanohi, but more parasitic and nefarious.

 

Bio: 

 

I am a Krana. I have had the pleasure of living many different lives. Bohrok, Matoran, Turaga, Dark Hunters, Toa... 

 

Personality/Other: [Gender? Is there any other information that is useful to know?]

 

Krana don't have genders, but you could refer to me as a "him", if you must. My current host body is male.

 

As for my personality, one might describe me as "clingy" and "controlling."

 

Other thing you should know: I want to take over the world.

 

*I pushed that friend off a cliff.

Disapproved on basis of being a joke profile.

I like the concept and the comic is wonderful - nothing wrong with a degree of humor here - but I hope it's obvious that as the profile stands currently, it isn't going to be accepted.

Question for the GMs: 

 

 

 

Name: Xara

 

Species: Rahkshi

 

Power/Weapon 1: Chain Lightning (Shadow Kraata Level).

 

Power/Weapon 2/3: A Rahkshi staff with long, jagged sword blades at either end. The staff can be split in the middle and used as a pair of long-handled swords. 

 

If I were to edit Xara's profile so that her weapons were just swords, and unable to combine into staff form, would that free up a power slot and allow me to give her the Rahkshi power of flight? 

Yes, you would be able to do that.

No, I wouldn't target you unless specifically provoked.

Otherwise I just RNG which is why I chose Aerixx.

I guess SV can't read, or...? :P

wait what the heck

why did i attempt to kill ibrow

i definitely did not send you ibrow

EDIT:
Come on, ShadowVezon. I explicitly wrote "Aerixx" in my PM.

I don't know how that could've been clearer.

IC: Kuro and Prose/Gem of ???, End of the Maze.

After a few backtracks, they managed to get to the other side. Upon checking on Daltrahk though, they saw that Prose's stamina had worn out on him, and that Daltrahk was dying. Without tears, Kuro placed a palm on his head and imbued Daltrahk's body with peace, for although his body was suffering, at least his soul would feel at bliss. Prose had already walked on ahead, and after Kuro was done and the body was finally dead, he followed too.

GEM QUEST POSTS COMING SOON

Tremendously sorry

Very busy week

It's between #3, #10, and #11 for me.

Definitive vote coming later.
