I don't find much interest in V for Victory. The only cards I'm interested are the Gagagas because they have a connection to one of my favorite cards, Dark Magician. Speaking of starters, is anybody taking interest in the new Blue-Eyes structure deck and the Synchro monster that comes with it? -Tomdroidser

I originally didn't care, but when I got my first few Stardust Overdrive cards they were mainly Spider cards. Their main tactic is to force opposing monsters into defense mode. Kinda like Roman in 5D's, except I run it as a pure Insect deck. -Tomdroidser Ah ok, have you played it on Duel network or YuGIOh Pro? and how fun is it to use? Neither. I just use Tag Force 4 or 5. -Tomdroidser

Spiders are a working decktype? ANyone care to explain what they do and how they do it? I originally didn't care, but when I got my first few Stardust Overdrive cards they were mainly Spider cards. Their main tactic is to force opposing monsters into defense mode. Kinda like Roman in 5D's, except I run it as a pure Insect deck. -Tomdroidser

I play the TCG and, once in a while, go to a sneak peek. I don't duel much anymore. I'm currently more of a collector. I play Cyber Gears, Spiders, and Spellcasters. -Tomdroidser

Revised from my original idea: Mask of Alternate Minds A reletively unusual mask, this mask allows the user to, if not used wisely, temperarily swap minds with an alternate counterpart. This power cannot allow the user to swap minds with an alternate self in the same universe and is rendered useless if the wearer is a multiversal singularity (if there is any). The mask's effect wears off anywhere between one day to one week. And something very different: Mask of Self-Restriction The mask limits or "drains" the strength, power, and energy of its wearer when it's considered "inactive." When the mask is "active," the wearer loses the "limiters" and is unrestricted. Restrictions are set by the wearer once the wearer starts wearing the mask. Commonly worn by beings considered "abnormal" or "overpowered." -Tomdroidser

Thought of a strange new mask with a strange backstory: Mask of Alternate Minds Created from the essence of the void that exists between all known universes, this mask allows the user to, if not used wisely, permanatly swap minds with an alternate counterpart. This power cannot allow the user to swap minds with an alternate self in the same universe and is rendered useless if the wearer is a multiversal singularity (if there is any). I'll give an example in its use if asked in a later post. -Tomdroidser

If Visorak venom comes into contact with beings from the Matoran Universe, then they will mutate into Hordika versions of themselves. If it were applied to Glatorian, Agori, and other Spherus Magna beings, then it would be harmless or life threatening. SM beings aren't from the Matoran Universe, so most likely not the same results. -Tomdroidser

Couldn't Toa of Stone fly by simply moving sizable rocks in the air and be inside/standing in them? -Tomdroidser

Masks I like to add to the list of mask ideas I have: Mask of Sealing Allows user to seal doors and trap objects/beings inside an object, usually a stone tablet/figurine. Only a Mask of Sealing can undo the effects caused by a Mask of Sealing. Considered immoral. Mask of Potential Allows user to maximise the potential of others. (Need help expanding its ablility.) Mask of Calling Allows users to contact other beings regardless of distance. Can also be used to call local wildlife. -Tomdroidser

Toa Inika Kongu's Toa Tool is definatly a crossbow. Crossbows are usually wielded with one hand while bows require two. -Tomdroidser

I don't think I could be concise enough, but I'll try.Mask of Moral SeparationAllows the wearer to separate into a Light being and a Shadow being. Each being will have access to the original's elemental power and skill, basic appearance, and have an almost untraceable mental connection. Common versions of the mask gives a maximum time limit of one week. Common differences are:Light half: access to Light powers, wears a defensive Kanohi, armor suited for defensive combat, and produces brighter Elemental powerShadow half: access to Shadow powers, wears an offensive Kanohi, armor suited for heavy or berserker combat, and produces darker Elemental powerIf it needs improvement, then I'll leave it to Bones.-Tomdroidser

If I had to sum it up, I'd say the Dark Hunters are only interested in profit and power.-Tomdroidser

I can't answer all of them at the same time, but I'll answer this. Tom: I can think of a way to make both of these partially true -- say that each one has half the power over light or shadow that a Toa of Light or Shadow would have. And half the power over the user's original element. If in some situation they can agree to work together (such as to fight a mutual enemy), they can work in conjunction (similar to Skakdi) to use the full power of the user's original element. But they cannot work in conjunction to wield light or shadow since they cancel each other out. (They could work together, but each separately and still at half power.)Why not just compromise and just say the Light/Shadow element is a secondary element like the Inika lightning? If they work together, then it would be logical that their primary element, say Fire, would unite, but the Light/Shadow element would cancel out.... I'm as confused with this mask as with many of you.-Tomdroidser

-Tomdroidser

...Wait, did you want them to be morally-aligned or not? Based on my understanding of the MNOG, Teridax, and the Makuta in general, Creation (aka construction) is represented by inner Light, and Destruction (aka demolition) is represented by inner Shadow. That's just how I phrase "good" and "evil" in Bionicle contexts (as in all honesty, it's really subjective, and a villain might not think of themselves as such).I think creation and destruction are their own netrual elemental catagory. It's not as important as Light and Shadows.-Tomdroidser

1. Did the Great Beings have any connections to Ussanui's design?2. What did Takanuva do with his find on the last entry of his blog?-Tomdroidser

I'd qualify this as "under normal conditions," but take out the Creation and Destruction part. Dividing, for example, Karda Nui Takanuva in half doesn't guaruntee that Karda Nui Light Takanuva will focus on creating something, or Karda Nui Shadow Takanuva would immediately perfer destroying lives.-Tomdroidser

I'll just modify what you just said.Mask of Moral SeperationSplits the wearer into two beings. Under ordinary conditions, both beings have the original's elemental power, but each has power over light or shadows. They are more or less equals. In addition to each having most of the original's abilities, both have a unique telepatic link that can't normaly be sensed, unable to age, and can't use extremely powerful moves like Nova Blast unless working in unison. The two beings are also immune to being fused to each other. Any unique personal armor or weapon on the wearer will also split into light and shadow halves unless there are two sets on the wearer at the time of seperation. Since this mask is usually worn over another mask, the two beings will each wear a seperate mask, if possible, originally worn by the original in the past under the condition that it is a mask they can control and not unique to anybody else. Any elemental power each creates will either have a lighter or darker version of the regular. The two Kanohi also have the hidden power to reunify the original under conditions different to each Mask of Moral Seperation. Can't be normally used on beings who wield pure Light or Shadows like Av-Matoran or Makuta.This mask has various risks. If one being dies, then the other half would sense it. The other half would subconciously try to obtain its other self's body. Once brought together the two halves merge back into the original regardless of the conditions, but the original will be considered "incomplete" and will exhibit flaws it originally (except aging) didn't have. Under the Olmak Effect, the Mask of Moral Seperation could create unusual side effects ranging from both suffering amnesia to incredibly drastic changes and new, unexpected abilities. Beings forced from their natural element, such as a Shadow Takanuva, could wear the mask and divide into a Shadow version and a Light version. Depending on where you go, goverments label it as an immoral, semi-dangerous, or a regular mask.Example of mask in use:Post-Hordika Toa Metru Vakama wears Mask of Moral Seperation and activates it. He seperates himself into two Vakamas: one being his Toa Metru self with the added bonus of wielding Light, and another being his Toa Hordika self with the ability to manipulate shadows. Toa Metru Vakama embodies the majority of Vakama's mental stability and skilled thinking, but Hordika Vakama embodies his instinct and fighting abilities. Metru Vakama produces a brighter Fire element, and Hordika Vakama attacks with black flames.If anyone wants a different name, then please suggest.-Tomdroidser

This is my say:Best thing: Lhikan sacraficing himself so that Toa Metru Vakama could gain confidence in himself.Worst thing: Between Vakama becoming overconfident and Metus making Mata Nui mad.-Tomdroidser

Well, anyways, I still got a new mask idea:Mask of Moral AlignmentAllows the user to split into two beings. Each being is as close to an equal as another. In most cases, one being made by the mask will have the good moral alignment and the power over light, but the other is evil and has power over shadows. Each new being has a Kanohi mask which holds a different power, but will also have the ability to sense the other half. The two beings will have a unbreakable telekinetic connection between each other that can't be touched by other beings. Will not work on purely alligned natural beings such as Av-Matoran and Makuta unless stated otherwise. This is not cloning or unfusing, but something completly different.It's still in development and I got an example of its use, but I'll post the final product later. Also, just to let you all know, this mask basically works on the principles/concept of Yin and Yang.-Tomdroidser

I got a new idea for a few masks, but I want to ask this: Is there an EM zodiac? And if so, do they vary between planets?-Tomdroidser

I could see a potent flaw in the mask. Is the mask's power a passive effect? If, let's say, a Toa puts their life force into a dead Skakdi and then the Toa dies, would the "undead Skakdi" be incapable of wearing the physically dead Toa's mask?-Tomdroidser

Added more info:Mask of CreativtyAllows the user to improvise materials for a object from local surroundings. Materials are sensed by a form of ESP. Once gathered, the mask basically takes over the user's body for a moment to create a crude but effective version of imagined object. Can't be used to create powerful objects, living beings, or perfect copies of a pre-existing perfected object. Basically a watered down version of the Mask of Creation minus conjuring materials.-Tomdroidser

I think something along these lines may be okay. I forget what I said earlier about it but I think you did suggest it before, yeah? But I think the limitations need more definition. Does it teleport the materials or telekinetically move them? What about reshaping solids? If you take a stone and turn it into a statue, does it have to turn to lava to melt and reshape?This is a different mask. The Mask of Creativity detects materials that can be improvised and gives the user a form of ESP which allows them to notice the material from the surroundings.-Tomdroidser

Ignika you can take out. The body's gone, but it still lives. And you forgot Hydraxon the original.-Tomdroidser
