    Well, this has a lot of information, but I decided to use this entry to speak about more of it.
     
    01: unclaimed as of yet
    02/03: Neo Blademan or Teebert, I have yet to hear back from Blade if he wants 02.
    04/05: Kopaka
    06: Laughin' Man
    07: Unclaimed, though I may end up doing it
    08: Me

    Well, the reason I'm calling writers here, good Bionicle writers that is, is because I have a great, epic idea for the epics forum.
    I'll soon be starting an epic called Legacies of the Final Battle, an 08 epic in my own way, so I got to thinking, that would be great to rewrite every year.
    Something I'd call Project: Legends of BIONICLE
    So, if you're interested, let me know for writing a year of the story in an epic, adding whatever you want (side stories, etc.). Here's a list of the years:
     
    01: Quest for the Masks
    02: Bohrok Swarms
    03: Bohrok Kal/Mask of Light
    04: Legends of Metru Nui
    05: Web of Shadows
    06: Island of Doom
    07: Creeps of the Deep
    08: The Final Battle (mine)
     
    Also, anyone think this is a good quote? I came up with it for the 08 epic I'm doing:
     
    “Toa, you are truly an eternal anachronism. You fight for justice, but what truly is justice? Is it only in your eyes, or in every eye, good and evil?” --Antroz
     
    Any thoughts on that quote?
     
    That is all.

    Botar Is Dead...

    By Grey Snow,

    Yes, he's dead, unfortunatly.
    The reason I put this under the epics category is because in my Legacies of the Final Battle I had big plans for him, but want to keep the story true to the actual story, so I can't have him in the final battle.
    Though he will be in the first part, the Phantoka part as an agent, recruiting, etc., he won't have as big a part as I would have liked him to have...

    Wii Got It!

    By Grey Snow,

    We got a Wii! We have two controllers w/nunchuks, Sports, and Super Smash Bros. I'll get Bleach Shattered Blade soon though.
    We had to wait about half an hour out in the cold in front of Shopko because they only had 10 systems, we were third in line. The first two guys in line who were together were great, saying things like "They're probably watching with security cameras and sending the video to Japan to people with Wii's." and things like that, and it looked like it was going to be a foot race to electronics to get a ticket for a Wii, so he turns to everyone in line, holds up his coffee, and goes, "If this turns into a foot race I'll throw this hot coffee at you guys to slow you down, though not hot enough to drink, still warm." And saying they were in a position of power, calling to see how much they were going for on Ebay, stuff like that.
    Great morning.

    New Phantoka Mocs

    By Grey Snow,

    I have just finished MOCs of Tahu, Onua and Gali in Phantoka form. I'll post them in the BBC with other MOCs of mine later and I'll link later, but I like them, Tahu's weapon is a flame thrower, Onua's a wrist blade and Gali's a sky harpoon.
  8. Grey Snow
    Yes, later when I get a free domain from here I'll post the website, a website for RPG's since we can't have blog RPG's.
    So far the RPG's I'll put up (if I can) are:
    Bleach
    Fullmetal Alchemist
    Naruto
    Shattered Shadows (my own RPG idea)
    and possibly more.
     
    I'll update when it's up.

  10. Grey Snow
    Well, more so of just a big update and list of chapters:
     
    Part 1: The Awakening:
    0: Lightstone
    1: It Begins
    2: Nightmares
    3: Search
    4: Answers
    5: Combat
    6: Return
    7: Shkorl
    8: Powerless: Pt.1
    9: Powerless: Pt.2
    10: Powerless: Pt.3
     
    Part 2: The Rift
    1: "What have I missed?"
    2:
    3:
    4: Investigation
    5: Matter of Life
    6: Death Walking
    7:
    8:
    9: The Rift Pt.1
    10: The Rift Pt.2
     
    And part 3, the final part as I know, it will contain over ten chapters, and I was inspired by another series/source, I won't tell what, I will after I begin posting these chapters, but:
     
    Part 3: Mask
     
     
    Part 3 will contain probably around twenty chapters, most likely finish the Lightstone story, and be pretty good to do, though I'm taking some of the idea from elsewhere. These chapters should wrap up everything, Matoro's revival, the final battles of Lightstone, and the final enemies they face.
     
    I might give a hint at where I got the idea from, so ask for a clue, one clue per person.
  12. Grey Snow
    Another update:
     
    Current chapter: Chapter 7: Shkorl
     
    Details on the chapter:
    *Shkorl refers to a being, not a Rahi
    *The chapter will be set in present day, not an alternate universe or anything, you may think something like that from the beggining of the chapter
    *It will have some information on Matoro's revival
     
    Misc. Information:
    *After the events of the Powerless chapters Matoro's way of actions will be far different than previously
    *A new storyline for Part 2 (see below)
     
    Parts:
    *Part 1 is called "The Awakening"
    *Part 2 is called "The Rift"
     
    Part 2: The Rift
    1: "What have I missed?"
    2:
    3:
    4: Investigation
    5: Matter of Life
    6: Death Walking
    7:
    8:
    9: The Rift Pt.1
    10: The Rift Pt.2
     
    The ones with no name have yet to be decided on, but feel free to ask questions.

    Updates on most of my epics, my newest four:
     
    Rebirth of Chaos:
     
    I'll work on at least one chapter tonight, try to post it (probably work on it while watching House MD) and do the same tommorow. It'll probably be short, maybe thirteen chapters, I've sort of lost interest in this one quickly.
     
    Legacies of the Final Battle:
     
    My 08 epic, a sort of sequal to Lost War, I have yet to start it, but I have planned for parts. I do have some air combat stuff ready, no swamp stuff yet, I'll start posting the swamp story in summer when we know more of the story and the sky part this part of the year. There will be more stuff with the Order from the Lost War epic, Order members, some Dark Hunters most likely, fighting the Makuta on other islands (Vultraz is a Ta/Shadow, so they have to be moving out and infecting most likely), teams of Order members fighting on Daxia (Botar, Umbra and Krakua will be one team), negotiations with the DH and Order, and more which I don't want to go into detail on. This will be fun.
     
    Into the Shadows:
     
    I'll post some story on it: Only six or so Toa remain alive, Taka is a Turaga with his "Council of Six", six Av Matoran who serve with him. The Toa are as of yet: Hahli, Kopaka, Krakua, Pohatu, and that's all for now. The Makuta have slaughtered the rest and are reigning darkness over the lands. This epic is planned for possibly three parts, the Toa must find a way to the Makuta's new base island, and how? Underground. They need a weapon strong enough to defeat the Makuta, and what they find is in multiple pieces...
     
    And my most anticipated epic:
    Lightstone:
     
    Almost done, I'm about half way done with Part 1. It took me half an hour, tired, last night to write one chapter, so that should be easy while I'm awake and ready, assuming I don't just go on the internet and look at forum's I'm on...
    I have the chapter names set for Part 1:
    5: Combat
    6: Return
    7: Shkorl
    8-10: Powerless Pt.1-3
     
    I should probably start posting in a few days, maybe even tommorow or today...
     
     
    That's it for now, ask any questions on any epics and I'll most likely answer, even if it's something like "Who dies in Lightstone?", though I may not answer that...

    One Year!

    By Grey Snow,

    I just noticed, I have a Vahi!
    I figured I'd get it tommorow, I just noticed it when I was viewing an RPG, I'm pleased, one year and I've made over 2,000 posts, made plenty of stories and done a lot in my opinion.
    So, hopefully more years to come for me being active here.

    More Lighstone Updates!

    By Grey Snow,

    Well, anytime I have news I'll post a new entry, but:
     
    Current chapter: I'm currently working on Chapter 4: Answers.
     
    Chapter names:
    Part 1: The Awakening:
    0: Lightstone
    1: It Begins
    2: Nightmares
    3: Search
    4: Answers
    Note: 5, 6, and 7 aren't confirmed as the true names yet.
    5: Combat
    6: Return
    7: Shkorl
    8: Powerless: Pt.1
    9: Powerless: Pt.2
    10: Powerless: Pt.3
     
    Parts: What I used to refer to as "Seasons" will now be "Parts", Part 1 will consist of the ten chapters listed above, Part 2 will probably also have ten chapters. So far for 2 I have:
     
    Part 2: (no title yet)
    1: "What have I missed?"
     
    Tech:
    Yes, more technology, I would have listed in my last entry, but I just came up with the names:
     
    Cordak Defender Mk.1
    Cordak Defender Mk.2
     
    *Note: Cordak is being used instead of "Desolation", it has no relation to the six barreled explosive weapons.
     
    Misc. Information:
     
    *At least one character death in Part 1, a main character, not an enemy that only may appear once, like a one chapter enemy, like the Humanoid Kane-Ra.
    *At least one more death in Part 2 of a main character, like above.
    *More importance placed on characters I wouldn't usually use (ie. Matoran), for good and evil purposes.
    *The final three chapters of Part 1 are going to be great, they may make you question me, for what I'm doing in those chapters, they may not, I hope they will.
    *Perhaps a cameo appearance in Legacies of the Final Battle, my 08 epic which I'll post after Lightstone.
    *Matoro's origins will be revealed...eventually...possibly...no idea yet...even how he came back...
     
    MoC:
    I will most likely try to make MoCs of them at some point, I'll update when/if I do.
     
    That should be everything

    Lightstone Update!

    By Grey Snow,

    Well, first off, what Lighstone is for those who don't know.
    Lighstone is a short story I did, a tribute to Matoro essentially, a Torchwood spin off in the Bionicle universe.
     
    Story: It takes place about five hours after Matoro dies using the Ignika. He falls into a room, alive, his weapons still in hand. He is told his revival purpose isn't known, even to the Order, his new hosts. He is given a team and they must help the Matoran and stop threats to them, arm them against future threats, and keep out of the knowledge of Toa, and others like them.
     
    Members:
    Name: Position: Specialty: Mask: Tools: Other Powers
     
    Matoro: Leader: N.A.: Tryna: Twin Cutter and Cordak Blaster: Ice elemental powers
     
    Introk: Second in command: "tying up loose ends": sleek Sanok: daggers: N.A. unless I did specify something, not sure
     
    Rhylm: Third in command: getting close to people, good leader: sleek Matatu, lacks scope: katana on back (like Sasuke in Naruto Shippuden): Water elemental powers
     
    Orwik: Fourth in command: autopsies: Akaku: four foot retractable wrist blade: Earth elemental powers
     
    Torshia: Fifth in command: tech. and information: Unknown: wrist claws: Plasma powers, unconfirmed if elemental or not
     
    Species:
     
    Matoro: Toa of ice
    Introk: A different species, about Toa size, a bit larger
    Rhylm: Toa of water
    Orwik: Toa of earth
    Torshia: A different species, a member of Pridak's species possibly, about Toa size and appearance
     
    Length of Order employment:
     
    Matoro: hours
    Introk: thousands of years
    Rhlym: I believe 350 years as stated in chapter 3, I'd have to double check, to lazy to do so now
    Orwik: about 500 years
    Torshia: about as long as Introk
     
    Technology up to chapter 3 (no information given, just name):
     
    Phaser
    Earpiece
    Ship (no specific name)
    Revival Gauntlet
     
    Chapter Names as of yet:
     
    Chapter "0": Lightstone (chapter 0 is the short story)
    Chapter 1: It Begins
    Chapter 2: Nightmares
    Chapter 3: Search
    Chapter 4: Answers
     
    Future Chapter names:
    Powerless Pt.1
    Powerless Pt.2
    Powerless Pt.3
     
    Seasons:
    I will divide it into "seasons", as first ends I will take a break from it and begin posting maybe two weeks later with "season" 2.
     
    Currently working on:
    Chapter 4: Answers
     
    That should be it.

    Lightstone Preview!

    By Grey Snow,

    I figured I'd give a preview of my new epic: Lightstone, part of the first chapter and some other information:
     
    Chapter 1: It Begins
     
    Above the Toa, outside their knowledge, tracking down native and alien threats and protecting the Matoran. With a secret existence and skilled members they arm the Matoran against threats of the future. Now’s when everything changes and Lightstone will be there.
     
     
    “I’m just saying, maybe you should have let me handle it.” Introk complained to Matoro in his British voice.
     
    “Yeah, but if I had let you take that Rahkshi then too much damage would have resulted, our presence would have been known.” Matoro replied.
     
    Orwik walked behind him, carrying the frozen orange colored Rahkshi in his mighty grip.
     
    “Where should I put it?” Orwik asked, his voice deep as is the case with all who come from the Earth villages.
     
    Torshia walked in front of him and examined the Rahkshi, “Over there,” She started and pointed towards a rounded fence that went around a ledge that went down about seven feet.
     
    There were stairs on each side going down to it and a table on the center for Orwik’s autopsies and for Torshia’s jobs.
     
    “You want an autopsy?” Orwik asked as he carried it down the stairs.
     
    “No, I want to salvage the armor and put the Kraata into a stasis tube.” Torshia replied as she headed down.
     
    Introk looked at Matoro and Rhylm, “Well I guess I’ll go.” He said and turned to leave to go to his chamber off to the side.
     
    Matoro cursed under his breath for what Introk had just done. He had only been part of this group for about an hour and he was sure Introk knew how he felt about Rhylm and enjoyed seeing the Toa of Ice suffer.
     
    “I’ll go as well.” The words broke Matoro out of his focus and heard that the sweet voice was from Rhylm and she turned to leave.
     
    Matoro had nothing to say, nothing he could think of and let her go.
     
    He walked over to where Torshia and Orwik were already working on the defeated Rahkshi and saw he had no help to provide them.
     
    “Why am I here? These four know what they’re doing, I don’t, I don’t even know how I am here.” Matoro murmured to himself and turned to go to his chamber on the far side of the room which was the whole base.
     
    He entered his own small chamber; all it was was a hole in the wall with a bump coming up he had to step over. The room itself was a small bed on the left side as he entered and the rest was anything he wanted, like a table against the far wall.
     
    He sat and laid down in his bed and stared at the rock ceiling. “Why am I here? Why couldn’t the Order have just left me alone?” He wondered aloud and heard a knock on the rocks outside his door.
     
    He looked and saw Introk standing there looking down on him. “What’s wrong Matoro?” He asked.
     
    “You four all know what you’re doing; you’re all part of the Order. I’m not; I’m only a novice Toa and shouldn’t lead you four. If I would even be part of this I should be the lowest member of the group.” Matoro replied.
     
    Introk began to laugh lowly, “Matoro, you’re skill is great, you wore the Ignika, you sacrificed your life for the universe, you deserve to lead us if we would even by worthy to be led by you.”
     
    “Thanks Introk, but I don’t see it that way.” Matoro finished with a sigh and heard an alarm going off.
     
    “What is it?” He asked Introk as he gripped the doorway in his right hand. He had abandoned his blaster before going to Metru-Nui and hadn’t even glanced at is since.
     
    “Alarm, another attack somewhere.” Introk replied and the two ran across the base to the large mirror which also acted as a screen to view where they had to go.
     
    “What is it?” Rhylm asked Matoro. Again he didn’t even know she was there.
     
    She’s good at that. Matoro thought, “I don’t know, I don’t know how to read this thing.” Matoro replied.
     
    “It looks like we’re off to the island known as Stelt.” Introk said.
     
    “But for what?” Torshia asked in her somewhat exotic voice.
     
    “I have no idea how to say this, but, Humanoid Kane-Ra.” Introk replied.
     
    “‘Humanoid Kane-Ra’? What’s that?” Matoro asked.
     
    “No idea.” Introk replied as he began to run to the exit with Orwik, Torshia and Rhylm following behind him.
     
    “Coming?” Orwik asked Matoro.
     
    “Uh, yeah.” Matoro replied and ran off only making sure his Twin Cutter was attached to his wrist so he could use it later.
     
     
    About half or less of chapter 1, more information:
    old characters returning
    more emotional conflict, mainly between Matoro and Rhylm
    going deeper into character emotions
    "seasons", it might be broken into what you could call seasons, first season events returning for the second in a way
    chapter 2 will delve somewhat into Matoro and his state of mind, etc.
    the chapter will be called Nightmares
     
    And that's all for now, but I will continue to update sometimes for this epic.

    08 Summer Sets

    By Grey Snow,

    My opinions.
     
    Tahu: The best images, he's good as far as I can tell, the spinning blade like weapon, not as good as his normal sword by my standards.
     
    Onua and Gali: Too hard to see to say much, so I'll leave it for now.
     
    The Makuta: All good, the insect look makes them incredible, Krika is great, the green one (Gorast?) is great with the four arms, the yellow one not as great, but still good.
     
    Titans:
     
    Taka: I hated the leaked images, but now he's decent. The white and black don't look great together though, some gold would be nice.
     
    Vultraz: Either a Makuta, Shadow Toa, or Matoran (most likely shadow), his Midak shoots shadow energy as stated by Toywiz and Toyfair and he's an enemy to the Nuva. The name Vultraz would probably fit a Le villager better, so I'm thinking Shadow.
     
    The "T" sets: Horrible. Just re-releasing the older sets from winter along with large overpriced vehicles. Release the vehicles for maybe 30-40 dollars, cut out the 10 for the rider and maybe they'd be worth it. Maybe, I doubt it.
     
    So, Makuta: Great
    Nuva: Hard to tell
    Taka: Decent
    Vultraz: Great
    "T" Sets: Horrible
     
     
    Many people have been saying that these are some of the worst sets, complaining about the canister sets. The Nuva don't look that great, but we have few images so far. I don't know why no one complains about the vehicles. Just the Nuva minus Kopaka and Antroz rereleased a few months later, few changes made to them and large overpriced and bulky vehicles.
     
    I still have hope for Mazeka being an awesome set without a vehicle, if he/she/it has a vehicle and is overpriced (I think the set is $50 I heard, or $40, or something, I'm probably wrong.) not worth it. If it's a stand alone for that much, not worth it. If it's like Karzahni but built better (the fingers of Karzahni keep falling off, Karzhani's limbs aren't that great, etc.) I'd get it.
     
    So my 08 Summer "rant" I guess is over, I'll do it again when more and better images, story, etc. is released.

    2000th Posts!

    By Grey Snow,

    I have reached 2000th posts today. In about ten to fifteen days I'll have been here for one year, so in under one year I've made 2000th posts, I'm pleased with these results.
  22. Grey Snow
    House MD, great show, I've become somewhat obsessed with it. Some of my favorite quotes, they are all also in my quote content block.
     
    [Cuddy pulls the guitar cord out of the amp]
     
    Dr. Cuddy: You've spent the last two weeks doing absolutely nothing. Concert's over.
     
    Dr. House: In what twisted universe does mastering Eddie Van Halen's two-handed arpeggio technique count as absolutely nothing?
     
     
    Dr. House: Imagine that the roof of the storage closet collapses on your favorite floor buffer, which then starts overheating. Janitor: Why would I have a favorite floor buffer? [House looks at him] Okay... maybe the electrical works got banged up in there from stuff falling on it.
     
    Dr. House: Hmm, interesting. Brain damage leading to hypothalamic disregulation. Nah, if you're brought in covered with rubble it's all about the MRI's, we would've seen that. C'mon! Gotta earn that fiver.
     
    Janitor: Or stuff [points to his bottle of cleaning fluid] leaked in the holes, messin' it up.
     
    Dr. House: Lacerations lead to multiple portals for infection. Bacterial would've responded to the antibiotics, [indicates "fever" written on the white board] it's too high for viral. Parasites or fungus is possible.
     
    Janitor: Or maybe lupus. [House looks at him oddly] My grandma has lupus.
     
    Dr. House: Okay, autoimmune. I'll run a lupus panel. Infection fits best. A complete history would be helpful, which leads to the worst part of the job: dealing with the floor buffer's family.
     
     
    [After House has sent the janitor to get the family to sign a consent form]
     
    Ben Prosner (patient's boyfriend): He's a janitor?!
     
    Dr. House: More significantly, a blabbermouth.
     
    Dr. Cuddy: House, shut up!
     
     
    Dr. House: Sometimes, I am wrong. I have a gift for observation, for reading people and situations, but sometimes, I am wrong. This will be the longest job interview of your life. I will test you in ways you will often consider unfair, demeaning and illegal, and you'll often be right. Look to your left, and now look to your right. By the end of six weeks, one of you will be gone, as well as twenty-eight more of you. Wear a cup.
     
     
    Dr. House: Who is this man? Come on, take a shot! I'm not gonna fire you every time you give a wrong answer.
     
    Applicant #23: Neville Chamberlain?
     
    Dr. House: You're fired.
     
     
    Dr. House: As far as you're concerned, the patient is Osama bin Laden, and everyone not in this room is Delta Force. Any questions?
     
    Applicant #11: We're protecting Osama bin Laden?
     
    Dr. House: It's a metaphor. Get used to it.
     
     
    Dr. House: [after seeing Dr. Chase walk past] Did you just see a blond guy with a pretentious accent?
     
    Applicant #24: Can't see an accent.
     
    Dr. House: Good point.
     
     
    Dr. House: Number 10, you're fired.
     
    Applicant #10: She told you?
     
    Dr. House: Well, it had to be someone who went to her home. Number 26 is half-asleep, missed his afternoon nap - obviously he doesn't feel guilt. Number 2 is here on a visa, she can't jeopardize...
     
    Applicant #10: You can't know...
     
    Dr. House: And... that chick [Applicant #24] has been pointing at you since I walked in.
     
     
    Dr. House: I fired you!
     
    Applicant #6: [wearing his number upside down] No, you didn't.
     
    Applicant #24: He fired you. You're number 6.
     
    Applicant #6: No, I'm not. I'm number 9.
     
    Dr. House: I approve of your shamelessness. You're still fired.
     
     
    Dr. House: Vitamin D is metabolized by both the liver and kidneys, it wouldn't tells us which one screwed up
     
    Applicant #6: We could get her wasted. Give her shots of tequila measure how long it takes her to pass out. If it's too fast it means her livers not processing alchohol, means it's shot
     
    Dr. House: I like you number 9.
     
     
    Dr. House: HEY WILSON! I'M GOING TO CUT A CRIPPLE'S EYE OUT! WANNA WATCH?!
     
    [Dr. Wilson opens his door and looks at Cuddy and House]
     
    Dr. Wilson: Good Times.
     
     
    Dr. Volakis: Dr. Cuddy? I'm Amber Volakis, one of Dr. House's new fellows...
     
    Dr. Cuddy: Sexual harassment claims go through HR, stress-related leaves through workers' comp, and any accusations of criminal activity go directly to the Princeton-Plainsborough Police Department.

    The voting round, I know it's been a while since I've done this, but I just want to announce a winner. Here are the top three.
     
    Phyre’s with 2 votes
     
    Scorpion Kings with 5 votes
     
    Elemental Rahaga's with 1 vote
     
    I originally was going to do multiple rounds, but I decided not to, and just to finish this. I was going to use all the old ones from BBC and put them up against the five that were entered, but I decided not to. So the winner is Scorpion King. Congratulate him for his excelent Karzahni Pre-Pit MOC and my next contest is comming up soon.

    I Saw Cloverfield!

    By Grey Snow,

    Just saw the 5:25 showing after school today. Saw it with three friends and it was great. Though they didn't really like it that much. Ask me about it if you want, but I might not give a synopsis, and if I do, not a full synopsis or into a lot of detail.
