  1. Why do you think the hexadecimal system is superior?
  2. Trap you in a prison made of iron, which has tiny growing spikes all around the edge. I got him/her.
  3. Tahu falls in and dies. Gali tries to use her water powers to save him.
  4. Out comes yellow futurama. In goes a teeny-tiny sun.
  5. I have had some thoughts about this before, and the best I've seen is Bionicle Nova Orbis by NickinAmerica on Deviant art. A map of Miro Nui and a guide to it's inhabitants are both useful for this discussion. As for me, the best I came up with was an idea for a theoretical third generation world, and I should explain, the starting island had more than six tribes. Each tribe of matoran was based in one village and each had some sort of mystic-mechanical wonder that was built by the turaga who founded the island. Four of the ideas include: Vo-Koro, built on the mountain range just north of Ga-Wahi, it serves as the base of the matoran of lightning. Standing over the village is the Great Thunder Tower. Carved with runes that shepherd of storms to it, and draw all the lightning from them into it's self. Without this great wonder, the other villages would not have their mechanism work, as each bolt of lightning is split and scattered across the land to power the marvel in each village. Without, every village would die and the land would fall to ruin. The side effect is that Vo-Koro is constantly under storm clouds, with bucketing rain and great bolts of lightning flying across the sky, making it a dark and under-populated place. Su-Koro, a massive ship with an invincible hull, which is a good thing as it swims in a great chasm in the land filled with a never ending supply of raw plamsa. This million degree lake would over run the island where it not for the tireless labours of Su-Koro's crew, which operate it's great internal factory and ensures that every piece of plasma that enters the ship from it's front maw is processed into more useful forms, such a medicines, food and even air (no plants allowed on board). Although the ship only needs a crew of about 20 at any one time, about 200 matoran live on board, taking shifts and keeping their collective spirits up. The Su-Matoran that aren't posted on board at any particular date inhabit various fortified hovels along the rim of the great plasma lake, preparing for their turn on Su-Koro. De-Koro sits as a lonely village at the tip of the northern cliff, at the very end of a long and winding tombolo, known only as the road of screaming. Around De-Koro is it's wonder, a wall of white stone, that perfected reflects and distorts all sounds in the local area until they become twisted an unbearable shriek like sounds. Only within the wall, is their peace and quite, as a secondary affect of the wall is to reduce sound within it, keeping De-Koro nice and quite for the matoran that dwell there. Bo-koro, the heavy mountain. A solitary mountain between the Everstom Mountains and the Glacial heights, it's weight is so great that it produce's it's own gravity. The Bo-matoran (who in this idea have the ability to sense gravitational disturbances, not resist high pressure) never stay their but instead wonder the land as merchants, wayfinders and rangers, using their home to guide them along their journeys. They only return once a year for the Bo-Koro festival, a massive trade show and carnival unlike anything found in the other villages, with only the epic gravity of the mountain keeping most other matoran away. However, Bo-koro does serve as a place of penal exile for matoran from the other other tribes, although none know of the Marvel that keeps them there, confusing their as they try to traverse the 3d maze that the turaga keep them in. Most only stay a couple of weeks, or a handful of months at the worst, but one individual, named only Akhmou, sits down, held in place by gravity and despair, has carve rocks on the mountain for many a year. The turaga say he is imprisoned for being a trouble maker of the highest order, what this means, is unknown.
  6. I don't think that the elements of stone and ice would have just popped into the setting if there had been only four toa, they where only introduced to add two extra characters and had very specific roots in the previous robo-riders and slizers, so as the series progressed, they may not have appeared. My major though is whether or not other elements would arise during the series or would they stick to the main 4?
  7. Okay I have two points to make, but before I make them, I would like to say that I am on the side of Earth and Stone being fused as one element. 1) In both Pokemon and Bionicle, Ice and Water have a distinguishing factor, ice is associated with the cold while water is warmer, making these elements clearly defined. In pokemon, ground and rock types are separated by their non-physical nature and not what their made up of. Ground is based off of the land and stone is the stuff we can pick up and throw. Take how the interact with Flying and electric types. Ground moves cannot hit flying type pokemon, as the targeted flying type could just fly off the ground and avoid damage, however, ground type pokemon can take a hit from electric type movies and receive no damage due to their association with the land allowing them to channel the attack's electricity straight into the ground and thus take no damage. Rock type pokemon can throw stones at flying type pokemon and thus hurt them, but without the association to the land under them, they have to take damage from all electrical attacks, as they cannot mitigate them. In Bionicle, there is no such point of separation, instead it is based on size and 'composition'. In all reality there is no difference between what makes stone and clay (the smallest size class of soil particles) other than how compressed and cemented the substance is. It is all minerals and crystals, sure you have different kinds of rock made of different substances, but given enough time and pressure all sediments (basically everything that the Earth element is made up off) will be turn to stone. If however, Bionicle separated Earth and Stone like how pokemon separated Ground and Rock, it would make more sense and be actually justified. In this system, Onua would be able control sediment and gravel that was on the same surface as he was but wouldn't be able to affected it if it was in the air above him or floating on the water (even if he put it there), yet he could form under-ground tunnels at will and start earthquakes, as his power is tied to the land he is on. Pohatu would be able to freely move his rocks through air or on water, unlike Onua, but couldn't start earthquakes due his powers being restricted to the rock and substance of the earth and not it's manifestation of a land surface. 2) In the system where Earth is dirt and Stone is rocks, Onu-koro and Po-koro are the wrong way around. Sediment in all it's forms (Clay, silt, sand and gravel) is usually turned into rock by pressure. This happens when layers of sediment are buried under other sediment layers and are compressed into stone. This means that most rock is underground, and caves and deep mines usually have no sediment that hasn't been crushed into stone. There is no sense form a people associated with dirt and soil to be down there, but Po-matoran would be surrounded by their favourite element. Instead soil is found on the surface, with freshly eroded rock faces and decomposing organic matter to help it grow. So Onu-koro should be on surface with deep soils that are rich in sediment, and Po-Koro should be underground, digging tunnels through the solid bedrock.
  8. Okay, this is how it boils down to, again: Fire is not plasma. It is oxidation in an exo-thermic and light giving reaction that can create small amounts of plasma, but it is not totally plasma. Lightning is not plasma. Lightning is electricity on a massive scale that produces sound, heat and light via it's interaction with atoms in the atmosphere, some of which become plasma for several seconds. Neither of them are plasma, but both produce it on a small scale.

  16. Called the screaming city, it was an early achievement of Artakha, a city where De-Matoran could live in peace while any sound over 20 decibels would be released into the surrounding country side beyond it's main wall to protect the ears of De-matoran inside. Ka'luga
