Name: Doc Keto Species: Female Bo-Skakdi Equipment: Doc carries a simple wooden staff she walks with, occasionally using it in combat, though she is not very skilled with it. In addition, she carries a dart gun with tranquilizer, so if she needs to she can knock something out, rather than kill it. Personality: Kind and gentle, Doc is the sort of medic who will go out onto the battlefield and start treating soldiers from both sides of the battle rather than just her own. She is rather disgusted by the actions of the soldiers, who kill and injure all of the mutants. She is focused on finding a cure to the virus. Powers and Skills: As with all Skakdi, when working with another Skakdi, Doc has control over an element. Her's is plantlife, which she uses to create natural antidotes or natural tranquilizers. Her vision power is diagnostic vision, which allows her to look at a target and get a diagnosis on them. Finally, her third power manifests as an ability to speed up healing to a target by touch, though this process still takes minutes at a time. Even without her third power, Doc is a very skilled doctor, trained in several forms of medicine and treatment. She was taken to Metru Nuva because of her ability as a medic and doctor. Appearance: Two things distinguish Doc from other Skakdi - her size and facial features. Doc is very small for a Skakdi, and her spines are similarly sized. In addition, her face is similar to Nektann, in that her teeth are not visible. Her armor is light green and teal in coloration, though her armor largely covers this. Her eyes and heartlight are colored light blue. Background: Doc used to be a member of a peaceful tribe on Zakaz, one not majorly affected by the mutations introduced by Spiriah. They kept to themselves in the mountains of Zakaz, until one day when that all changed. A more violent tribe attacked and killed many of them, leaving only Keto and a few others. Keto left the island, heading to the island of Xia, where she worked as a doctor, picking up the moniker of Doc due to her ability to heal. She worked there for many years, until Mata Nui and Makuta fought and her universe was destroyed. She fled, and then began wandering around as a traveling doctor. When the Atero Nuian Republic formed, Doc joined it's army as an ordinary soldier. When she fought however, she lost all control, flying in a bloodthirsty, uncontrollable rage at everything. When she recovered, she vowed to never kill or injure again, then requesting a change in division to be a medic. She was in the battalion Malik took to Metru Nuva, and has since became intrigued by the virus, taking up a place as one of the few medics brought along by the army. Weakness: Doc is a pacifist. She will not kill or seriously harm any living being, making her effectively useless in combat. She has effectively no combat skills. In addition, her healing power does not work on herself.

IC: Rakona Wow. She had come here hoping to protect Blackrock from one division, and had, in the process, discovered another section that was also causing immediate danger to them. Larikon was wrong - it was right for her to join the Sentinels. "That seems to be to my liking. I think I can handle a Kikanalo, and I would like to join." IC: Vhohan Vhohan was walking around Po-Koro, looking for his employee. He was beginning to think that the wrotten Toa had went off and stolen his money. It did not suprise him. He had hired a Toa. How foolish. But then, just as he was giving up hope, he spotted the Toa walk out of a dome shaped house. Vhohan walked over and greeted him, and said, "You bought a house, I see. And only three blocks down from mine - rather close. May I see inside of it? "Oh, right. I haven't told you my name. It is Vhohan."

Flaredrick, to be honest, your backstory does not make much sense for a rank and file soldier. A powerful warlord does not suddenly become a normal soldier.

Toa are banned because 1. They are way, way, way overpowered. (At full potential, they can blow up cities, leaving nothing behind. At the lower end, they can create huge fire balls that can wreck everything.) 2. There are < fifty left - a Toa would not be serving as an ordinary rank and file soldier in the army. These guys are the commanders, the elite officers. Malik, the only Toa in the battalion, is leading it. Backstory not approved. The whole 'on a diplomatic mission' thing is not a suitable backstory for this game. This is what happened - Kopaka: Hey, Malik? We haven't gotten any signals from Metru Nuva in a while. Take a battalion over there and check it out. Malik: Okay. I'll just grab a couple of guys and go over. The Army didn't even know what was going on until Malik got there. Geardirector - Same colorations as a normal Rahkshi. One more thing - the island is in the middle of a large storm right now.

OOC: Gear, I think you missed this post. IC: Vhohan "Very well. Putting aside my, how to put it politely, distaste for Toa, I'll hire you. Now, here is some money, go out and buy some sort of apartment, with at least two rooms - a main room and an office for your job. You'll have the printing press there, and will be responsible for making all the newspapers. My office and home would not fit such a device."

Number of battalions = undefined. But there are ~500 soldiers on Metru Nuva, accounting for the losses to the mutants. Oh, yeah Flare- sure, you could have bullets, but why do that when you could have a laser gun? Or magnetically propelled slugs? There are things that fit the story better and aren't bullets.

Sorry to see that Chro. Taxir's still approved if you come back.

For the first hour or so, I was like 'OH NOES, DOES NOBODY WANT TO PLAY?'

Two handed sword and a shield? I think you messed up there, but otherwise, approved.

Gallith is approved, so long as the kinetic emitter works in short bursts only. Taxir is approved aside from the backstory. The Army was founded in 4 AMN, not 0 AMN.

After getting a profile approved in the Mess Hall, bring it over here. Please use one post for your profiles, so if you get another approved, edit it into your first post. Thank you!

This is the Mess Hall - the place for any out of game discussion or talking. If you have something to say OOC, post it here, not there. Also, this is where you post any profiles you have for approval. Use the following guidelines and profile. Profiles: You may have up to three profiles, but please try to keep the number of recurring NPCs down to a minimum - there are not many military forces on the island at the moment. You may frequently mention someone who is not in the army on the island, and there is no restriction on them In addition, Crystal is open for use by all PCs that can use an element or have an affinity to one. One will not need special approval for their element if they decide to use this element. The prefix for Crystal is Ki. Typical armor colors are pastels and whites.

Outbreak [Discussion][Profiles] Report of Commander Malik To General Kopaka of The Atero Nuian Republic From Metru Nuva First and foremost, I apologize for not being able to send in my report on Metru Nuva sooner, like you asked me to. An unnatural storm enveloped the island shortly after I arrived here a week ago, and only let up for a short time so I could send this message. Upon arrival, the city appeared to be deserted. I ordered my men to set up base in the Ba-Metru sector of the city, and sent them out to investigate. Quickly, they discovered what had happened in the city, and reported back to me. We readied for a fight, as what they reported was grim. My men had discovered that nearly all of the cities inhabitants had been mutated horribly, being crossed with what appeared to be Rahkshi. In this horrendous form, each of the mutants has access to one Kraata power, of a medium level of strength. There appears to be but one survivor. My men were patrolling Bo-Metru, when the noticed a large figure. Upon further inspection, they realized that it was a being in a modified Exo-Toa. They approached, and began conversation. However, a large number of mutants attacked, and the being stayed behind to hold them off. However, a strange radio broadcast has begun to sound out from Ki-Metru. This was before the Survivor was encountered, and he stated he was not the source. I have ordered my men to locate the source of the broadcast, but they have not been successful. The signal is not strong, and all that can be determined is incoherent mumbling. We do not know what is being said. Plot Summary: A battalion of soldiers arrived to an island city to investigate a distress signal sent out. When the arrived, they found out the island was crawling with aggressive, Rahkshi-like beings. They are filled with a desire to spread their virus, and do so via biting. Past Events: AMN stands for after Mata Nui. It is currently 10 AMN. -[0 AMN] Pohatu and Kopaka were taken off the Red Star by a reincarnated Botar, along with a few other dead members of the Order of Mata Nui, who wanted to make sure that their organization was fine, and wanted to support it. Hydraxon is best friends with himself. -[0 AMN] Velika blew up the fortress. Everyone inside died. -[0 AMN] However, the Great Being instantly came back to life, as his power gave him unintended immortality, due to the fact he was always in contact with himself. By touching the others in the fortress, he revived them as well. -[0 AMN] After freeing the Great Being from his curse, the inhabitants of the fortress decided to hunt down their killer. After finding Velika and interrogating him, Miserix killed the Great Being in disguise. -[0 AMN] Orde, Zaria, Gelu and Chiara allowed themselves to be captured, and then broke free. They found the machine inhibiting their powers, and destroyed it. They then fled from Bota Magna, heading to where they had received their mission. -[1 AMN] Marendar successfully killed three Toa. A group of Skakdi, however, saw the killings, and decided to take revenge on the murderer. Marendar was only programmed to defeat Toa, and as such did not register the Skakdi as threats. This helped to change the public view of Skakdi, from murderers to somewhat respectable beings. -[2 AMN] In a further attempt to help their public view, the Skakdi allowed for the five Toa Mahri to be freed. However, the Mahri saw how the Skakdi people were not evil, and opted to stay with them, and help form the nation of Zakaz Nuva. -[4 AMN] The Toa Nuva formed a new nation, which they called The Atero Nuian Republic. It is the most powerful nation on Spherus Magna, and has the capital of Atero Nui, a new city built meant to honor the past of both the Glatorians and the MU inhabitants. -[5 AMN] The team that fought the Bota Magna Vorox levied support against the intelligent Vorox in The Atero Nuian Republic. War was waged against them, from which the Republic emerged victorious. The war ended in 8 AMN. -[7 AMN] Light Teridax and Miserix work together to form the Northern States, a generally neutral nation focused on scientific advancement and experimentation. -[8 AMN] An island state in the Great Sea is founded by the Atero Nuian Republic, modeled after Metru Nui. It is christened Metru Nuva. Locations Metru Nuva: The island of Metru Nuva is artificial, and was made as a homage to the city of Metru Nui, in the Aqua Magnan sea. It has the same layout, but the actual elements of the different Metrus are different. In clockwise order, starting with what was Ga-Metru on Metru Nui, the Metrus are Ce-Metru, Ki-Metru, Ba-Metru, Vi-Metru, Bo-Metru and finally Fe-Metru. Each of the Metrus had a dedicated purpose. The Atero Nuian troops arrived to Ba-Metru, in the south. Ce-Metru: The northernmost Metru on Metru Nuva, Ce-Metru consists of buildings with a large floor space, but only one or two floors on average. It is filled with laboratories and schools. Most of the laboratories are in good condition, but one has been completely ransacked. For unknown reasons, it has a very large mutant concentration. Ki-Metru: The Crystal district consists of large, grassy parks, and tall skyscrapers made of different shades of lightly colored crystals. Ki-Metru is very beautiful, and as such it was chosen to be the primary residential district. Due to the fact that there were many, many citizens living in this Metru, it has a large amount of Rahkshi in it. Ba-Metru: The Metru of Gravity was where the soldiers landed when the reached. Before the outbreak of the virus, it was used for the construction of gravity manipulating vehicles, and it’s buildings were large hangars that were spread out. The soldiers have cleared it of a large majority of mutants, and are guarding the borders. They have also converted several hangars in the center of the Metru into barracks for themselves. Vi-Metru: The Metru of Lightning was used for it’s expected purpose - that of power generation. Vi-Metru consists largely of power generation, and as such is mostly small buildings clustered around larger ones. Several different forms of power generation are used, such as solar, hydroelectric and several others. Vi-Metru scares the mutants, and as such they avoid it. Bo-Metru: Large, spaced out domes are the landscape in Bo-Metru. Inside these domes are lush forests and farms, which are used for the dual purposes of growing plants and raising animals. Bo-Metru was used for food production in Metru Nuva, as Matoran and other races began the habit of eating with their mouths, as that was how Glatorian ate. The mutants enjoy it here, and it has a high population of them. Fe-Metru: Large spans of desert, lined with canyons are the landscape in Fe-Metru. Lining the canyon walls are many caves, in which small workshops have been set up. Typically, a single production plant occupies one canyon, but smaller businesses do group together in a shared canyon. Mutants populate the surface of this Metru, but do not enter the canyons. Factions: The Atero Nuian Army: The official army of the Atero Nuian Republic, the army is five hundred strong and has arrived to Metru Nuva to investigate what has happened there. Weapon selection varies widely among soldiers, with each soldier being able to decide upon which they will use. Malik is the Commander of the battalion, and leads it from their base in Bo-Metru. He does not go out into the fight often, but when he does, he the strongest fighter in the battalion, due to the fact he is a Toa, with extreme elemental powers and combat training. Each member of the Army typically wears a dark black uniform marked with the symbol for the Three Virtues on either shoulder. Out of fear of the virus being air born, the soldiers were gas masks. The general design is a glass panel in front of the face, with a breathing apparatus at mouth level. Currently, the soldiers only have the few resources they could scavenge in Bo-Metru and what they brought with them. They are scavenging for more in the other Metrus, particularly Ba-Metru, although they are met with great resistance by the mutants. Goals: -Scavenge more food from other Metrus. -Find the Survivor and bring him back to base. -Locate the Leader and determine why it is different. -Find the radio broadcast in Ki-Metru. -Determine what caused the outbreak and where the virus came from. -Work on a cure for the virus. The Mutants: The mutants used to be a wide, diverse selection of races, but now they are all one. They currently resemble Rahkshi, but have some differences. The first is that they walk around on all four legs, and lack a spine. While mutated, they lose all intelligence and access to powers they might have had while unaffected. Instead, they gain one Rahkshi power of Level 4. They have a sole-minded devotion to spreading the virus, which is spread through bites. They are not playable. Their primary advantage is numbers. Important NPCs: Name: Commander Malik Species: Male Ko-Toa Equipment: Malik typically carries four small weapons - two ice picks, and two hatchets. He alternates between his use of the weapons as a pair, or one of each. He prefers to use the hatchets in combat. They confer no special abilities, other than the ability to channel his powers through them. Personality: Malik is like many other members of his element, being cold and impersonal. He is a rigid authority to the battalion, and rarely shows emotion in front of his troops. When not on a mission, however, he is rather friendly and open, unlike the normal vision of a Ko-Toa. Powers and Skills: Malik is a master of his element, that of ice. He can create ice and snow, manipulate the temperature, and can control existing ice and snow. He has had several thousand years to master his powers. In addition, as a Toa, he has a Kanohi mask. Malik wears the Pakari. His Kanohi grants Malik the ability to greatly increase his strength to high levels, allowing him to lift objects he normally would not and make attacks with greater impact. In addition, he has a scope affixed to his mask that allows for telescopic and heat vision. Appearance: Malik stands tall for even a Toa, and has a slender figure. His armor is colored light grey, with bright blue highlights. His eyes and heartlight are a light green coloration. The Pakari he wears resembles a Sanok, and has a small scope over his right eye. Background: Malik is one of the oldest beings from the Matoran universe, being one of the first Toa made. He patrolled what was the left leg of Mata Nui for nearly all of his life, leaving for events such as the Toa-Dark Hunter war in Metru Nui, and other large gatherings of Toa. Malik was responsible for helping inhabitants of the Matoran Universe evacuate it after Makuta had been defeated, and did not participate in any battles. He defused tensions between the Bara Magnans and the former inhabitants of the Matoran Universe. When the Atero Nuian Republic founded, Malik wanted to be on the front lines of any battle, and to be a leader in the army. After Kopaka was appointed General, he gave Malik the position of Commander. Malik led forces against the Bota Magna Vorox, and led his soldiers to victory. Weakness: Malik unparalleled in combat. Name: The Survivor Species: Male, Unknown Equipment: The Survivor uses a modified Exo-Toa in combat and for his protection. On the left arm of the Exo-Toa there is a laser-firing minigun. The right arm is unmodified. On the back there is an energy katana. On top of the right shoulder there is a small rocket barrage. Personality: Desperate, and willing to do anything to survive. The Survivor has not left his Exo-Toa suit for slightly over a week, out of fear of infection by the virus. He is the last uninfected citizen of Metru Nuva. He was very warm and friendly to the squad that encountered him. Powers and Skills: It is unknown what specific powers the Survivor has, as his Exo-Toa suit inhibits any use of them, if he had any. However, he is very proficient with his Exo-Toa suit, and can use it to decimate swarms of the Rahkshi mutants. In the suit, he can take down many of the mutants. Appearance: The actual appearance of the Survivor is unknown, as his Exo-Toa suit encloses him completely. The suit looks like a normal suit, but it has been modified slightly by the Survivor, namely the laser minigun instead of the cannon, and the rocket barrage on the soldier. Background: The Survivor was encountered in Bo-Metru on a regular patrol. The squad that saw him approached him, and found him to be friendly. They began to talk about the status of the island, and about what had happened. The Survivor revealed he was the sender of the distress signal. However, this meeting was not to last. Within minutes of meeting the Survivor, a massive mob of mutants attacked, at the rear of which was a strange mutant that didn't resemble anything the squad had seen. The Survivor ordered the squad to run, as he could hold off the mass of mutants. Weakness: The Survivor cannot use any powers in the Exo-Toa suit. Name: The Leader Species: Ye-Mutant (Poison), Unknown Gender Equipment: The Leader carries a Rahkshi Staff of Poison. How it acquired this Staff is unknown, but it wields it as a weapon and to enhance its Rahkshi Powers, which it can use without wielding the staff. The bottom end of the staff has been broken off, making it resemble a spear. Personality: The Leader is incredibly hostile to all members of the Army, but is not the stupid beast like the rest of the mutants. It is smarter, and appears to be a strategic genius. It is unknown how it is more intelligent, but it appears to be in charge of the mutants. Powers and Skills: A further distance from the rest of the mutants is the Kraata power that the Leader controls. Its control of Poison is at level 6, being able to make any being severely and dangerously ill with physical contact. In addition, it seems to be incredibly intelligent. Appearance: The Leader appears different from the rest of its weaker minions by being taller, and walking on two legs instead of on four. Its armor is a black with green highlights, and its eyes are red. It is easy to spot as being different from the rest of the mutants, and is unique in appearance. Background: The Leader first appeared directing the horde that attacked the Survivor. The few soldiers who had encountered the Leader saw it in the back of the horde, seemingly issuing commands to the rest of the mutants. In the Leader's presence, the mutants focused on the Survivor, not the soldiers. Weakness: Nobody has actually fought the Leader in close quarters combat.

Wow. Zakaro, thank you for volunteering to help host. I'll set up the game soon.

I shall enter Mil into the tournament. Point buy is total of 48, right? Strength: 6 Agility: 13 Toughness: 14 Mind: 15 Bringing Vahki Staff, Staff of Poison, Plasma Shooter, Lava Stone and Nynrah Ghost Blaster into battle.

For example, one of my characters is very racist against Toa. (One killed his family and maimed him, blah blah blah backstory stuff)

Rakona is joining the Sentinels.

IC: Rakona "What exactly is the role of the Kikanalo Riders in the Sentinels? I'd like to know what I am getting into before I actually join." IC: Vhohan "Well, I'll have to interview you first for the job, but that should be simple enough. You'll be a menial worker, skills not really needed all that much. First questions: What is your name, and do you have a criminal record in any Koro?"

IC: Rakona The Lesterin that Rakona noticed had walked up to her and asked her a question. She looked at the clerk, who was a little surprised but then turned back to the male Lesterin. She smiled and answered him, "I am pretty good with them. What of it?" IC: Vhohan The Skakdi had been walking through Po-Koro when a Toa shouted that he needed a home and job. Vhohan swallowed his pride, and his utter disgust for Toa. He needed an assistant- he wouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth. Also, the other branches of the MNW needed work. He approached the Toa and tapped them on the shoulder to get their attention. "I see that you need employment, and I can help with that. Not with residence, but employment. I am the branch head manager of the Po-Koro Mata Nui Weekly. I need an assistant to help with the printing and distribution of newspapers. Would you like to help? "Alternatively, you can go to another Koro to get a job there." OOC: Mata Nui Weekly is the name of an in-game newspaper. (The only on Mata Nui). The offer of being a reporter is technically open, but it is an OOC position as well. You'd have top send in weekly reports about everything that happened in that topic, so I wouldn't recommend it.

Which Koros do we need reporters for?

I take it your mind's natural Ockham's razor is dull, then?
