Here's a theory on the scars: The wild hunt have a strict code of honor, etc., and if one breaks said code, the power protecting their :immortality/undyingness" weakens a bit, therefore not protecting them as well upon death/reanimation.

IC: Zaak, battleground Zaak dropped to the ground and immediately got into a fighting stance, but saw there was no one there. Thinking his foe had turned invisible, instead of flailing around like most people, he used invisibility countermeasure #3: Superheat everything around him. Immediately, waves of heat poured out of his body, superheating the ground and air in a five foot area around him. Keeping up the heat with his mask of elemental energy, Zaak waited for his enemy to show himself, while slowly turning to his right to try to find his foe.

what will the psionic powers be?

IC: Zaak, Battlefield Zaak felt himself lift off the ground, and inwardly cursed. Of all the huntsmen, he had chosen to attack one that had telekinesis... go figure. When the kikanalo blasted him with sound, Zaak's ears were ringing and his vision was slightly blurry But, although slightly dizzy, Zaak called on his mask of elemental energy and unleashed a blast of plasma at the being's chest, hoping that plasma was close enough to fire to startle it and break its concentration.

IC: Zaak, Battle Woken by the shouts and sounds of battle, Zaak rushed out of his tent and towards the battle, arriving there in seconds. He deftly parried an attempted slash from one of the Wild Hunt, and knocked him off his Kikanalo with a shield slam. Zaak finished him off quickly, thinking that that had been one of the grunts. After a few more minutes of fighting, Zaak spotted a huge, black and dark red armored figure slashing at refugees with a colossal sword. Zaak uttered a wordless battle cry and fought his way over to him, with fury in his eyes. He swung his sword at the rider's Kikanalo's back left leg, hoping to take it out of the fight. OOC: Just in case you didn't notice, that is Koriaha.

Chapter 6 When the lift slowed, we all were nervous. Needless to say, our last meeting with Dume had been… well, disastrous to put it delicately. My hand twitched toward my recently acquired sword, but I dropped it. Diplomacy would be required for this meeting, so Frank would probably do most of the talking, as he was president of the debate club at school. However, I could see my friend’s confidence. They all knew that if the Toa Stones chose them, not even Dume could argue. Mata Nui had spoken, and for good or ill, I felt we would be staying in this universe for a while. The doors of the lift slid open, and we filed out, Jason glancing guiltily at the wreckage of what used to be the left wall. He usually only blew up things we needed gone, but he looked ashamed that he blew up someone’s home. “Welcome back”, Dume said in a chilly voice. Understandable, as we had left a gaping hole in his wall the last time we were here. “I trust you have a good reason for bringing them back here, Lhikan.” I glanced at the Toa of Fire as the Turaga said this, and saw a slight wince. Apparently, Lihkan was not supposed to bring us here again. “Turaga, we have come to apologize for the… er… hole in your wall. However, there was no disrespect intended, and we would like to know what the heck is going on here.” Frank, who was speaking to Dume in his most diplomatic logical tone, said what had been on all our minds in that simple sentence. As he did so, he let his glowing, icy- blue Toa Stone slip ever so slightly out of his pocket. The response was exactly what I hoped Frank had intended, because when Dume caught sight of the stone, his façade of calm flickered for a moment, and I saw what could have been anger there. I tried to remember what Dume was like in the original story, but couldn’t quite remember. I could tell it was troubling Andy, the one who knew the lore best. His face pinched together in a frown, but I could tell he remembered something about the Turaga. I reminded myself to ask him about it later. I was startled out of my thoughts by a question from the Turaga. “I’m sorry, what was that?” I asked politely. “I said, where did you find the Toa Stones?” “At the bottom of a stack of supplies. What do we do with them?” I wanted to get to the point as quickly as possible. I wondered what would happen, as we were most certainly not Bionicles, and therefore shouldn’t be able to use them. Dume sighed. “As strange as this is, and due to the nature of yourselves, I will let you become Toa if you agree to pass three trials after your transformation.” “Agreed”. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My friends and I gazed up at the Great Temple of Ga-Metru in awe, and let me tell you, it is a sight to behold. The way it’s shaped reminded me of the San’Onofre power plant, but I knew it held vast knowledge within its many vaults. “Follow”, a Matoran with a disk of Translation said, clearly nervous from the way his voice was shaking. I will spare you the details of our walk down into the heart of the Temple, but needless to say there were many strange looks from other Matoran, and many strange relics to look at. “I thought the Toa Suva would be bigger”, Jake commented dryly. I chose to ignore his comment. “Everyone have their stones?” I asked with a sense of awe. The Toa Suva, admittedly smaller than I had thought it would be, stood in the center of the room. Still, it embodied the Bionicle way, and I think it was also a power node connected directly to Mata Nui. Everyone assembled in a circle around the Suva, each with their Toa stone in hand. Jason held his deep red one with an air of reverence, Jake’s purple one held loosely, Chris’s electric-blue stone in his hand at his side, Frank’s held in both hands, my orange-ish one, and… with a double take, I realized that Andy’s stone was pure, flawless black. No time for second thoughts now though, so we approached the open niches in the Suva slowly, and as one slotted the stones in. There was a flash of light, and a bolt of lightning seemed to shoot from the Suva into the ceiling. It hung there, mesmerizing us, until it split into six multi colored beams that lanced towards each of us. One hit me square in the chest, knocking the wind out of me and giving the feeling of a heated brand burning its way into my chest. After a few seconds of this, I passed into the black pool of oblivion. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I woke up in fits and starts, coughs racking my body as I drifted back into awareness. It felt like copper had coated the back of my mouth, leaving a metallic taste. Absentmindedly, I smoothed my hair, only to have my hand hit my head with a scraping sound. “What the…” I jumped up, then immediately stumbled as my too-long legs over compensated for my new height. I rose again, more slowly this time, and seeing that no one else had woken up, tottered over to the Suva. As I neared it, I realized that I still had my sword, though it felt more like a knife now. No matter, there was a Suva full of weapons in front of me. I picked out a shield, finding the weight and balance to my liking, and glanced in again. My mouth dropped open, and I saw what could be nothing other than a Cordak Blaster. I snatched it up from the pile, before remembering the most important part of a Toa’s arsenal. The Great Masks of Power. I couldn’t figure out which one to choose, so I closed my eyes and selected one at random. It was a design I had never seen before, so I put it on. Instantly, I felt stronger and faster. I decided to examine my appearance. I looked down, and saw a white armored torso, with occasional orange highlights. I appeared to be of the same style of Toa as the Metru were. “Hey, a battleaxe!” That exclamation was enough to turn towards the Suva. Everyone was there, selecting one weapon or other. I examined their new bodies. Frank was obviously a Toa of Ice, being white with grey highlights. He had pulled a longbow from the pile, and was practicing drawing it. Jake and Jason were purple and red respectively, and Jason had been the one to grab the battle axe, while Jake grabbed a strange, bladed staff. I could tell Jason was a Toa of Fire, and if I had to guess Jake was a Toa of Gravity or Psionics. Chris was a light blue, and had grabbed, of all things, a rapier, and was swishing it around to get a feel for it. Andy was pure black, and had grabbed throwing knives. I shuddered. Andy was a Toa of Shadow. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Well, that was strange. It isn’t every day you get hit by a bolt of lightning and live.” We all chuckled at Frank’s joke. “Hail Toa, saviors of Metru Nui!” We stepped outside, and that was the first thing we heard. I was stunned. It looked like all of Metru Nui had shown up outside the Great Temple! “It looks like our transformation granted us the Matoran language. That could be useful”, I remarked to Chris. Suddenly, like water flowing the crowd parted to let Turaga Dume past. He looked surprised that our transformation had actually worked. He cleared his throat, and loudly said, “To prove your worth as a Toa, you must do three tasks. If all three are completed, you will be recognized as protectors of the city, alongside Toa Lhikan. So your first task shall be to beat the Po-Metru team in a game of Aklini tomorrow, without elemental powers.” He gave me a stuck-up smile, and I realized he wanted us to fail. Anger flared in me, bright and hot, but I tempered it and forced myself to turn to my friends. “Let’s go to Po-Metru.”

A man walks into a bar. The universe implodes with the millions of possibilities. BTW, really good comedy, one of the first stories that has made me laugh in a while.

And *cough* my maps *cough*

What I meant was, if my strategy included holding my shield in front of me to block, would there be like a 10hp damage reduction from any hit taken at that time?

So... is my character being though about? And would a shield do anything in game?

So... could a shield do anything in this game? Also, sending a pm for my guy soon.

There would have to be a way of finding them though... how about toa stones? They would sometimes be found in villages or dungeons or really hard to reach places, and you could give the toa stone to a Matoran to create a Toa, or you could give them to a Turaga and they will give you a clue. As to the dimension idea, the Mata Nui portal could be made of Glowstone, fill with Iron blocks to activate. Metru Nui portal (if ever made) could be protodermis blocks with glowstone filled in the middle (all would be the shape of a Nether portal) and you could then just have a pre-made world that spawns in for each portal, each with its own respective blocks and items and mobs. That way, mask dungeons would be not spread across a huge world, and normal minecraft wouldn't have any bionicle ores.

For finding the masks, you should make the dungeons with them spawn within 500 blocks of spawn and about 200 blocks of each other. (unless there are multiple mask dungeons). There should also be a map to a random kanohi in each village maybe.

IC: Will shouted out, a pure primal shout of rage at the zombies, and a huge blast of lighting came from his outstretched hands, vaporizing almost all of them. Will crumpled to the ground, and blacked out.

Oh. I didn't knOw about saying modification.

sorry to sound whiny, but did no one see my post? Here it is. I have some ideas for this awesome moderator.1. Make protodermis as rare as coal.2. Make proto ore drop 1-2 proto fragments.3. Craft 9 fragments in a 3x3 crafting grid for a proto shard.4. Make proto sword hilt like thisNNNPSPPPPN is nothing, P is proto shard, S is stick.Make unrefined sword like this.PDPPDPPHPP is proto shard, D is diamond, H is sword hilt.Now, smelt sword (should take twice as long as iron to smelt) and it will make a refined proto sword.Make an essence block like this.PPPPWPPPPP is proto shard, W is the element object (ie snowball).Smelt essence block, (should take a while) and it will give you elemental essence.Use an anvil to combine the two, and it comes out as the elemental weapon of the essence you used.Now, the masks.Surround a furnace with proto shards, makes a mask making furnace. You power it the same as a normal furnace, but it has a 3x3 grid in it. You place proto shards in the furnace in one of these shapes:NPNPPPPNP for the Hau,PPPNPNPNP for akaku,PPPPNPPNP for Miru,NPNPPPPPP for kakama,NPNPPPNPN for pakari,PPNPPPPNP for X-ray mask (forgot the name)P is proto shard, N is nothing.Once smelted, masks will be powerless, and require an elemental essence to work. They are combined with an anvil. The essence will power the mask with its power, and the type of essence used changes the color (ie a fire essence could make a red kakama).For armor, i don't have crafting ideas, but I think it should require elemental essence to work as Toa armor.Also, for power how about you hold ctrl and powers will pop up on your hot bar.These are my ideas, leave or use as many as you want

IC: "That actually makes sense. And this stone fragment on my sword could have been his version of yours! It really feels like the stone is pulling me that way... What could go wrong?" Will confidently took two steps down the tunnel, and promptly tripped on a wire. He heard rocks slam into the ground ahead, and moans and shambling feet coming towards them. When the first zombies came into sight, Will backed up into the middle of the chamber. Zombies were coming from all six tunnels now, and Will and Matt were surrounded. "No big spells! There are too many. Do small spells, freeze them. I have a plan." The first wave of zombies rushed forward, and Will pulled out his rapier, used telekinesis to send a large stone crashing through the crowd, and hoped that his plan would work.OOC: I think there would be about 60 zombies.

IC: "Woah!" Will stumbled backward from the newly created pit, but after seeing it had stopped moving, he edged closer to it and peeked down. Seeing Matt safe at the bottom, Will went down and asked, "How did you find this? I stayed here for months, but never found anything but books." Suddenly, the stone in his sword hilt started glowing, and felt a gentle pull towards one of the many tunnels ringing the room. "I think we should go this way", he called to Matt.

OOC: Sorry, I forgot to post for a while. IC: "There is the top of the ruins, we should be there in about ten minutes." Ten minutes later, the duo were in the center of the ancient ruins. "Okay... one step forward, two left, diagonal left, back two, and... voila!" Will unearthed a trapdoor that had been hidden under a thick layer of dust. He opened it, and climbed down, saying, "No one has been down here, its safe. I will need a lot of help pulling up all these books."
