    Will Moc For Free!

    By Grey Snow,

    Yup, I'm going to hire myself out. If you want a MOC created by me:
     
    For all MOCS:
     
    Username:
    MOC: (Toa? Makuta? Titan? Vehicle? Rahi? Etc.)
     
    For Toa/Makuta/Titan/Similar MOC:
     
    Color Scheme:
    Weapon(s):
    Kanohi/Helmet: (if applicable)
    Anything Else:
     
    For Vehicle:
     
    Vehicle Design: (motorcycle, boat, etc.)
    Weaponry:
    Rider Size:
    Anything Else:
     
    For Rahi/Creature:
     
    Animal Type:
    Limbs:
    Weaponry/Claws/Teeth/Etc.:
    Color Scheme:
    Anything Else:
     
     
    Rules:
     
    You can submit up to three proposals for me at any given time.
    I will do them in the order that I receive them.
    Post them here, do not PM them to me.
    If I do not have the parts to complete your MOC, I will let you know and ask if any changes can be made to go with that. Otherwise, I will have to decline ones I cannot build.
    I will post in my blog with a link to the topic that your MOC is hosted in upon completion.
    Come back any time, but you must wait a week after I have completed your MOC(s) before you can request again.
    I will finish within three days once I have taken your request, unless something comes up, or you will get rule-free requests-five of them-for one month, should I fail within the time limit.
     
    Samples:
     
    Unfortunately, most of my new, best MOCs are still on my camera, and I will not upload them until they are needed. So here's only a few samples, not the best by any means, however, but pretty good.

    Gallery for a contest, Deadshot

    To anyone who has read/is reading the Bara Magna Chronicles, some new information as of tonight:
     
    1. 40 chapters is the 2010 storyline. I am on, I believe, the 16th chapter as of today.
    2. The chapters, instead of continuing "Round" is going to change, showing the change in storyline. It becomes "Sermon".
    3. At the least, two short stories will be written and posted as companion storylines to go with the 40 chapters. One is instrumental in bridging the gap between the chapter I wrote yesterday, and the storyline that continues into today's chapter that I'm writing, and beyond to the final chapter. The other is just to bring some characterization that I want to get inside, but hadn't the room to put into actual chapters.
    4. MOCs of most characters were done, and now, the only "unseen" characters will be Certavus and the Lords. Certavus is not the official image in real canon, but when we see the Lords, they will be, most likely. The Sisters of the Skrall will be drawn, not MOCed, most likely.
     
    That's about it.

    So, going through channels today, saw the Valentine's Day Spongebob where he gets a giant valentine for Patrick. So, I watch a few minutes as it goes to commercial...and...it's Nick's "Secret Crush" weekend, or something like that.
     
    The obvious answer?
     
    They openly admit the relationship of Spongebob and Patrick? I certainly think they admitted it today...

    I decided upon possibly writing a series of short stories for the C.I.R.C.L.E. canon. Due to writing the crime basis of the Double epics (namely Crime and the City and The Final Game, the former to a greater extent), I might write a series of short stories based on the other side of crime.
     
    Court.
     
    Create a new island full of laws and codes, and have Matoran and Turaga lawyers, for use on islands such as Doppel Nui and anywhere else requiring law to be carried out. I'd have to figure out how it would be carried out exactly, but it is a possibility I am definitely keeping open.

    Nazca

    By Grey Snow,

    Anyone who's seen Kamen Rider W will know why I changed my name, avatar, and personal image to Kirihiko Sudo (Sonozaki)/Nazca Dopant. Because he's awesome.
     
    Any other questions?
  7. Grey Snow
    As of yesterday, I've begun the process of creating a new epic for the C.I.R.C.L.E. canon.
     
    I've MOCed the main Toa characters and their starting arsenal thus far. As soon as I get some stuff run through C.I.R.C.L.E. for voting, I can begin the process of actually getting things started for writing, since it hinges on one article getting through.
     
    So far, I'm probably setting it 998 or 999 A.G.C., keeping it roughly in "Double"'s time period, not that there will be any interactions. Thus far, I have yet to name my characters, but I did pick out elements for them. I wanted to keep less common elements in main positions, such as, "Energy", "Technology", and "Spirits", with really only one of the real elements from the main canon in the epic in a position of importance.
     
    Thus far, what I have is:
     
    Island: Angelus Nui
     
    Phrase incorporated with the epic (underneath the title, and in chapter previews): "Ascend from the depths of the pain of memories!"

    Name Change?

    By Grey Snow,

    "Shotaro Hidari", and I get someone else to become "Phillipe", and as such, we both use Kamen Rider W avatars, and a third member to be "Cyclone Joker" or "Kamen Rider W".
     
    Any Rider fans up for that?
  9. Grey Snow
    Seriously, what if Tahu wasn't the leader of the Mata, but someone we've never heard of was? Like if Artakha originally was building someone else, but failed and built Tahu instead, and Tahu became leader by default, being built after the failure?
     
    Oh, and the leader would later return from being repaired in an alternate dimension, and the leader would be female...
     
    Yeah, I like that idea.
     
    Oh, and I got the STARS, all of them instead of just Tahu. Hands are great pieces, really helped with MOCs for a future epic.

    Double Mocs

    By Grey Snow,

    Out of boredom starting last Friday, and continuing last night and today, I have MOCed the characters of Double: Crime and the City.
     
    Complete:
     
    Protagonists:
    Linke
    Recht
    Gahla
    Derr
    (can't name since the character appears later on)
     
    Antagonists:
    Unnamed avian being
    Member of Lariska's species
    Skakdi of Lightning (custom face and spine included, instead of reusing Thok or Vezok spines)
     
    Partially complete:
    Recht/Linke Toa form.*
     
     
    *I'll probably order some masks from an online store, and recolor them to make them two tone, since that's where I'm stuck at. That, and the torso was a pain, but it works well enough.
     
     
    I plan on MOCing the Dark Hunter from Day One, and other DH who appear as it goes on, as well as various Matoran we meet on the cases.
     
    Hopefully the first pictures will be up by Sunday.

    I have finally named the full version of my short story, Double. As you can probably see, it keeps the "Double" title, but expands on it more, to show what the epic is about.
     
    Crime.
     
    It's a unique epic for me to write, to feature crime as the main purpose. A typical arc involves some form of crime taking place, and the investigation into it. That, as well as the "double" which is the meaning of the title. The power that Linke and Recht have through the Duos Stones, to merge into one single Toa and do battle (though combat chapters are actually rare. Most chapters focus on crime, as opposed to fusion combat).
     
    Some basic updates that I'll share right now:

    I will begin posting it as soon as a few things get run through C.I.R.C.L.E. and hopefully, approved. If not, I'll have to rewrite chapters or revise articles to try to get it to work in the C.I.R.C.L.E. universe. The main protagonist is Linke. The character of Recht has his starring moments, but Linke is the main star of the epic. Each chapter is titled without "chapter", but rather, "Day". The short story is actually going to be reposted and titled "Day One". The second chapter takes place the next day, and takes on the title "Day Two", and so on. Days will skip around, to pass time on Doppel Nui and the storyline. At the moment, I predict 40 chapters spanning 100 days. I believe I'm on Day Seventeen right now, which is about the tenth chapter. There will be a small, side epic, composed of approximately five to seven chapters. This will be fundamental to understanding the entire storyline behind Double, but not a mandatory read. It's the origin story that we briefly glimpsed at the start of Day One, showing us how Linke and Recht became a team, got a hold of the Duos Stones, and arrived at Doppel Nui. As seen in "Day One", we meet Gahla, and her unnamed partner-named Derr (thanks to Toa Ausar for that name). I confirm that they make up half of the initial main cast of characters (Linke and Recht, of course, being the other half). As we go on, we will meet more characters who will join the main cast. This, however, will be sporadic and no characters are safe (a practice I started in Bara Magna Chronicles).  
    And that's about it.

    Gelu Is Latin

    By Grey Snow,

    So, I was looking for a Latin name to use for my Bara Magna Chronicles. Turns out that "frost" in Latin is "Gelu".
     
    Interesting, since apparently Malum means "evil" or something of the sort as well.

    Religion In Bionicle?

    By Grey Snow,

    Go here.
     
    I said yes since I myself will use religion as an aspect in one of my epics. Faith or religion can be a powerful thing, a powerful tool, a motivator, anything. And I found the perfect way to bring it into play in an epic.
  16. Grey Snow
    Update 1:
     
    The Bara Magna Chronicles. As of Saturday, 10/3/09, it is done. All 70 chapters, 280 pages, are complete. A 2010 installment will follow upon first leaks, writing shall begin. New MOCs for it are also coming, and one of my best in a long time is one of them.
     
    Update 2:
     
    Kamen Rider Avon. As of tonight, I have more or less, fully established the Super Mode of the main Rider, Avon. Also, I have, more or less, fully established every Rider, including creating a new Rider for it, as opposed to the original idea of the set number. There is now another involved. A picture of Avon is being worked on by a friend of mine from Deviantart, and shall be posted upon completion as a preview.
     
     
    Future work:
     
    I shall soon begin the second part of the Kingdoms of Nightmare, hopefully I'll finish in about a month, depending on how my writing schedule goes, still working on it. And the third season of Oban Star Racers should follow shortly after, but again, depends on my writing schedule. Come to think of it, I didn't even post season 2 here. I'll have to get on that soon.
     
    Also...new name may be coming. I'm thinking "Sir Koji: White Knight".

    To all of my fans of the epic "Lightstone", I pose this question.
    Should I make a second epic? Sure, the characters are appearing in the Kingdoms of Nightmare Trilogy, but, should I make another Lightstone epic that coincides with KoN?
    For those of you who don't know what Lightstone is, it's an epic involving Matoro after his death. He was revived by unknown means-well, he's not truly living. He's just...there. He can't die. He can be destroyed, but technically he can't "die". Matoro is thrust into leadership of an elite team by the Order of Mata Nui as they enter the Destiny War.
    The Lightstone unit (a name that Matoro decided on) is led by Matoro, with disowned Order members named Introk and Torshia, and two Toa, a Toa of Water named Rhylm and Earth named Orwik.
     
    For more information on the first ten or so chapters, go here. It's likely not going to be updated since I rarely go to BS01 anymore.
     
    The team's goal is to protect the Matoran from any threats, native or alien. This has taken them all across the Matoran Universe, battling many forces. From mutated Rahi to dangerous beasts from the Void-a dimension opposite the Matoran Universe in essence, a real of darkness in a way. They fight and win on behalf of the Matoran Universe.
     
    They have been joined by others, including the Memory Changer from the Void, named Shkorl, and Hahli Mahri, with the rest of the Toa Mahri during the final two chapters of Part 2 (chapters 11-20). Also, with the beastly Klofn, the manipulating Wesker and others, including two of their ultimate enemies, the Phantorians.
     
    Lightstone is "Outside the Order, above the Toa. Arming the Matoran race against the future. Now is when everything changes, and Lightstone is ready."
     
    Members have had terrible lives in the past, mainly slaughter of someone or some people near to them.
     
    All five members have died at least once. Matoro, of course has died. The other four members died against their first major enemy's life stealing ability, but were revived later on, upon its death, rending Matoro into a coma.
    The only other death in the team had been Orwik. He was killed by a scientist, but revived for a brief minute to give the team a goodbye. He didn't die again, he stayed in a living death state.
     
    Lightstone has worked alongside the Resistance in a post apocalyptic future ruled by the Toa Nuva in the Kingdoms of Nightmare Trilogy's first epic.
     
    Now, I need to know what to do with them. Should they just continue on as more minor characters, or, should they be in the spotlight once more, in their own new epic?

    The finale aired tonight. And I must say, it was amazing.
     

    » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «Henry was the killer-Wakefield's son. My theory was right that means, although the kills weren't a result of blacking out, like he said he did when JD died, but he did it on purpose. He told Trish, before he kills her, that he killed her father and JD because they could ruin the wedding, or something along those lines. This later proves to be seemingly false, since he was just using Trish as a pawn in his game to get Abbey to the island.
    He loved Abbey-how he loved her wasn't explained. If he wanted to marry her or something, or if it was simply a sibling love, wasn't explained. I'm leaning towards the former, however disturbing that was.
    As he looks to be about to kill Abbey after he killed Wakefield and faked the deaths of he, Abbey and Jimmy (Jimmy was to sign a confession as Wakefield's accomplice, since Shea and Madison survived and would claim there was an accomplice to let him out of jail).
    Jimmy attacked him, and they fell off a cliff or bluff or something. Abbey ran down, and rammed Wakefield's knife-which Henry threw down a little earlier-into Henry. He dies as he says he loves her.
    Jimmy and Abbey are on the coastguard boat together, leaving the island together.
    It cuts to the camera from the yacht, showing the main cast talking about the wedding, giving their regards and stuff. It ends with Henry talking to it, about the wedding, on the island already. He smiled to Trish-as he was giving the message to her-and it freezes, zooming in on his face.
    Cut to credits.
     
    So, the list of survivors:
    Abbey
    Jimmy
    Shea
    Madison
     
    Deaths of the episodes:
    Danny: Wakefield fights him as he breaks out of the prison (Henry slipped him the key). They fight, Danny smashes a phone into his face to knock him back and buy Madison and Shea time to escape (since the women can't shoot for some reason). He grabs Danny's head, and slams it into a spike on the desk to kill him.
    Trish: Henry runs out to search for Wakefield after someone crashes into their housing's door. He grabs the gun, runs out, and tells her to lock it. She does, and soon, Wakefield kicks it down and runs after her. She slips out the bedroom window of the little house they're in and runs into Henry (minus his gun). He has his knife (a small one, not the boarding knife Wakefield uses) and stabs her in the side after confessing to her.
    Sully: He and Henry go to where the coast guard helicopter will land, and Henry confesses to him. Sully thinks it a joke, until he sees the knife. He shoots, but Henry removed the bullets at the shack. He says Wakefield's behind Sully. He says he's not stupid, but Wakefield tells him he really is there. He was about to swing the gun at Henry, then turns around, then he's stabbed by Henry.
    Wakefield: Henry betrays him after he shoots at Jimmy in the burning church (Jimmy rammed a flare at Wakefield, burning him (you could see the burn on his chest) and then throws it. He runs and is shot at by Henry, left for about ten minutes, then it reveals him alive, imprisoned by Henry. As they catch up to Abbey, Wakefield behind her, her stabs at her, and goes past her, stabbing Wakefield to kill him.
    Henry: As he walks to Jimmy and Abbey on the rocky beach, she grabs the boarding knife and runs him through.
     
    Can't wait for DVDs.

    My newest (well, if you don't count the Zero Chronicles which I started after this one...) epic is here.
     
    The Bara Magna Chronicles
     
    It tells my version of the 2009 storyline, the first 35 chapters being about mainly the winter sets, and the next 35 or so being summer storyline. (with changes all around to make it original)
     
    Hopefully anyone looking for a good Bara Magna storyline will give it a chance. I put a lot of work into making this storyline flow, making the characters my own, writing their hardships, victories, personalities, and everything else (especially the introduction of new Glatorian into all four main tribes) about them.
     
    Hopefully you'll enjoy it and fuel it onto a 2010 storyline as well (assuming we stay on Bara Magna and I get new inspiration, unless I go with my other plans for the storyline...). Or if we do Bara Magna stuff for the C.I.R.C.L.E anytime soon, then I can get my ideas out.
     
    I'm really hoping the changes I made to the story will be enjoyed, and the character stats, scoring and statistics will be well worthwhile.
     
    Well, that's it for me. Enjoy with Round 1 tomorrow.
  20. Grey Snow
    The epic is finally finished. Well, it had been, but I mean, it's fully posted now.
     
    Starting in a few days, my new epic. The Bara Magna Chronicles will start being posted.
     
    Hopefully any readers will get enjoyment from it-I know I am writing it.

    Diend

    By Grey Snow,

    Two reasons to watch Decade, despite only seeing Ryuuki.
     
    1. Diend
    2. The Shinkenger team up.
     
    Diend wins this, despite Shinkenger being amazing.
     
    Diend is just that awesome.

    A Question

    By Grey Snow,

    1. Do you prefer simply "Chapter 1"
    2. "Chapter 1: Rise of the Toa"
    3. "Chapter 1: The Toa---A New Enemy Rises!"
    4. "Round 1: A Battle in Vulcanus---Defeat the Mighty Skrall!"
     
    So simply, what would you prefer for a chapter name? Something simple, like the first two, or something more like you may see in, as someone has told me in the past, Naruto (I actually got the idea from Gundam SEED), such as the 3rd or 4th option? The 4th is really just another idea (one I'm using in my Bara Magna epic), changing "Chapter" to something more befitting of the epic or what its about.
     
    So, out of curiosity, what do you prefer?
  23. Grey Snow

    New Name

    By Grey Snow,

    As an idea while speaking with Toa Syaoran, with the new Shunraiki part 2 out, I decided to change my display name to another Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles based name.
     
    Toa Fay.
     
    Taken from the character Fay D. Flourite, my personal favorite character in the series, especially after Acid Rain Tokyo/Tokyo Revelations.
     
    Don't know when I'll be back to normal or anything, but I'm keeping this name for at least 30 days.
     
    To anyone who hasn't seen Tsubasa or read it, it's an amazing series definitely worth a watch or read.
     
    That is all.
     
     
    Also, I finished Kingdoms of Nightmare: Empires of the Shadow Nuva. I finished the first epic of the trilogy. So...yeah, it's done.

    I Need Name Ideas

    By Grey Snow,

    Ok, I have a human BIONICLE epic I'm working on, and I need a name for it. These are what I have:
     
    *Rebirth
    *Zero Chronicle
     
    Well, that's it. Any other ideas, or which do you prefer? It'll be a reboot of 01 with human characters essentially.
