Vigor Mortis

IC: Uarch Uarch watched through the waters as a second, animalistic figure approached the one he had encountered. The latter appeared to have better business elsewhere and so left. Intrigued as to the nature of this second being, he surfaced enough for his spines to be visible above the skin of the water, and made to move parallel to the shoreline.

IC: Isiak The Toa led on to his hut, with Isiak following slowly behind. At some point they passed by an indigo female Toa, and to be polite Isiak said, "Good day to you." and smiled briefly.

nope.avi

IC: Uarch "Harm... ha... " Uarch replied in a rasping, salty voice. Black Face had told him to make sure no one saw him as he approached Ga-Wahi, but evidently he would have to try again another day. He called forth his power over water, and had a huge wave crash over him from the ocean. When it passed, Uarch was gone, and in the water a monstrous sea creature could be seen vaguely swimming away, a line of spines penetrating the surface of the water. OOC: You can attempt to give chase, or report this sighting to Nokama or someone.

IC: Uarch Uarch noticed that someone had seen him as he rose from the waters. He knew not the nature of the figure, whether he served Black Face like Uarch did. Black Face had promised him in a vision his support for him if he were to exact his vengeance on areas of Black Face's choosing. And so he was here now. And so Uarch stood stock still at the sight of the figure, squinting his yellow eyes through the slits in his faceless mask.

OOC: I suggest those who read this briefly glance at Uarch's profile, as he is very different than most characters. IC: Uarch The waves crested around him, and Uarch surfaced. Many mistook him as a wild Rahi, some sort of blue hybrid between a shark, eel and ancient sea creature. The black streaks across his back seemed to pulse across the currents of the water, and he opened his sickly animalistic yellow eyes. Uarch used his elemental control over water to propel himself to the shore. At the same time, a giant wave from the sea crashed over him. When it passed, there was not a Rahi creature there, but a kneeling figure that looked vaguely like a Toa. He was pale blue with marine shoulderpads, breastplate, leg pads and mask. His mask was entirely featureless, and its function was only to hide his face. Yet through two eye slits you could still see his yellow eyes. He stood, and walked away from the sea and onto the shore. Devour. Consume, maim and kill. Vengeance. OOC: Open for interaction, if you can be found somewhere near the shore.

IC: Isiak Isiak nodded, and smiled. "I would love to. Your hut will do fine to ask whatever questions you may want to."

OOC: Indeed, very much so. IC: Isiak "Thank you, lead on."

IC: Isiak Isiak hoisted himself up from the ground with his pointed staff, and spoke. "Ah, my mistake, all appear young to one such as me." His tone turned more serious yet passionate. "The song is everywhere, and we are all notes. I vaguely heard it as a Toa of Sonics amidst the blasts of sound and silence I made with my powers, and always was there despite however loud the world was. I only heard it for what it was when I became as I am now, a Turaga. The Le-Matoran hear the music of their own jovial minds and of their lightheartedness, but I hear all. All things in the world have a song, but I found that I can not see my own song. Perhaps it is because, as you say, I have completed my destiny. You, however, your beats and notes are as clear and distinct as this rock. You haven't reached the end of your song yet."

Thank you for that, I am sure people will find that helpful. Expect the update to Titans tomorrow.

IC: Isiak "Ah, my apologies Toa. I was engrossed in my music, I paid little attention to your question. The music speaks through me, and I am the mouth but not the voice. I do this for my pleasure, for all things have a song in them. That rock there, this is its song. You have a song. The world has a symphony, and I am the instrument." With that, Isiak stopped playing, and placed his Violin back behind his back. "You seem to be a strong, young Toa. I sometimes have trouble with these caverns, do you know the way back to Onu-Koro?"

IC: Isiak Isiak turned his head to face the Toa, and still playing his violin, spoke: "Hello. I am Isiak. How are you today?" The melody he played was beautiful and elegant, Isiak found it hard to believe someone would consider it anything like what you could hear in Le-Koro. Flutes and drums do no justice to the music all around me, inside me.

OOC: Not really sure what I am supposed to say, but ok. IC: Vejmeq Vejmeq went up to Toron and said, "How does your leg feel now?"

IC: Isiak Isiak bent down and picked up the stone. He hunched over in his already humped Turaga form, and sat on the ground with his small-bladed staff resting against the cave wall. He peered into it with his lime green eyes and dark blue Kakama, and felt a rhythm, a song inside of it. He turned it over with dexterous grey hands, and found the beat. Beat-five, one, one-two-one... beat-five, one, one-two-one... this will do. Isiak reached his arm behind his robed back and pulled out a curious tool. It was made of pale wood, shaped like a thin disc that tapered out into a rectangular protrusion. It was hollow and had a hole in the center, with cords positioned over the hole attached to its thin end. He detached a piece of shiny rectangular metal, and readied it on top of the cords. Isiak called this tool a Violin. And he played the beat, the rhythm, out into the cavern, where it echoed across the walls for hundreds of feet. OOC: Open for interaction, if you can hear the music.

IC: "I suppose I should explain, now that Toron has mentioned it. Healer, this outpost has been reconstructed in order to be a staging ground for gathering allies against Makuta. This would be a base for those who choose to help us, and it is believed that our presence will deter further attacks on this area. In all, we have decided to no longer be wayward vagabonds searching for justice. We will remain here and organize a group that, Nikaron may optimistically think, may be a threat to Makuta himself."

Well really a Turaga is nothing more than an old and weak Matoran. In terms of perks simply because of their physical health they would not be able to have perks that give them a combat bonus, besides having a noble mask. All of the worker perks, besides stealth I guess, a Turaga could have realistically. So in terms of your perks system really they are just a limited Matoran that can use a noble mask, something that normal Matoran do not have. Also, you could create an equivalent for a Turaga in the Agori, simply an 'Agori Elder' or along those lines. Agori do age, and so it is conceivable that there are some Agori who are simply old. As for equality, you should consider the implications of having a mask power as a perk. Only members of the Matoran universe can really wear masks, so it seems a bit skewed against the Agori. Glatorian can have elements, yes, but there is no power they possess that can create a shield the way a Hau does, become invisible with a Huna, etc.

IC: Vejmeq approached the newcomer that had arrived with Nikaron, and offered a hand. "Greetings. I am Vejmeq. Are you the healer?"

I am aware that you said people could only be Matoran, Toa, Agori or Glatorian, but I wish to have a Turaga character. Technically a Turaga is just an old and de-powered Toa. If this is not acceptable, then do not read the application. Name: IsiakGender: MaleAge: 73,219Species: Turaga (formerly Toa of Ice, but was transformed into a Turaga 35,831 years ago)Perks: Swift of Hand. Mask Power: Noble Kiril, mask of regeneration. As it is noble, it has less power than a Toa's version.Allegiance: Matoran UniverseWeapons: None (however, I ask that he have a simple walking cane of no significant material - wood or such, as he has trouble walking without it).Appearance: A hunched over Turaga wearing a dark blue and white Kanohi Kiril, with dark blue arms and legs. His shoulderpads, feet and hands are white, and his chest is black but mostly covered in 'standard' Turaga robes. His eyes are luminescent lime green.Personality: Isiak often reminisces about his past, and is always in the pursuit of knowledge. He also often just sits and thinks about the state of the world, and what sort of changes he must make to himself if his withered form is to survive.Bio: Isiak was unusually emotional for a Ko-Matoran when he was one. He shared their pursuit of knowledge, but carried with it a passion that disturbed many of his fellow Ko-Matoran. When he was transformed into a Toa, he became part of a Toa team as a Toa of Ice, and helped to keep the peace. 15,277 years after his transformation, he lost his Toa powers and became a Turaga. In the 35,831 years of being a Turaga, he generally kept to himself and, as always, passionately grasped for knowledge and understanding. He worked with a few Vortixx and was a small contributor in a few theories on Quantum Elementation. He never sought political power as a Turaga, as he viewed politics as the sort of force that unchecked will cause civilization to forcibly commit suicide. And, as it turns out, he was right.Weakness: Being a Turaga, he is old and frail. He is also nowhere near as strong as he was when he was a Toa.

Plural is Necrons. Thank you by the way. Here is the very basics of what I have for Tomb Kings so far. It's not much, but I have decided on a skeleton design to use. Plus, there will be optional bases available.

All are free to use - provided you give credit.

Thank you. Yes, Destr and Kothra were collaborating to create RZWH40K, and they did make some progress. I submitted a chainsword for them to use, and that is the one they put in their kit. They did Space Marines and Chaos, and some Tau. However, their rendition of a Necron did not look very appealing. I know what I am talking about when I say this, as I am a Necron player and have turned the models over many times in my hands. And so I made my own rendition, to which I submitted to them to add (but I am not certain they took it) : I may as well put this on the main page I guess. I may take up this project again, but I have other things I want to do. I'll also post some progress on the Tomb Kings possibly later today, probably tomorrow. Titans are still underway, and the change to the 3/4 pose really helped make it look better John.

OOC: Ah finally some interaction IC: Vejmeq noticed that a newcomer had arrived, an Onu-Matoran it appeared. Toron was in informative tones apparently telling the Matoran about this place. Deeming it useful, Vejmeq stood and went to join them.

nope.avi And thank you. I have considered adding a second strain, but this one would be very different than this one in many ways I shall specify later. Does anyone like this idea?

I'll see if that gives it a better position. I am beginning with Tomb Kings, though, so unless you happen to play that it may be a while until your army is done. I've worked some more on the Titan kit, and have decided to add a new thing to it. In addition to the default body and limbs, there will be available different types of bodies and limbs. If you are looking for a Sidorak-esque sprite, there will be one. There will be a bunch of different styles, including sinister, intricate curved, polygonal, smooth, and others. In addition there will be made available alternate shoulder pads that correspond to these styles or are just made on their own. There will be spiky ones, gladiatorial, and so on.

However, poison is not an adaption that I have put up for vote. And so it will not be discussed further. In real life there are no 'stages' of evolving something like a stasis shell or photosynthesis. It's not 'part 1, part 2, etc' but a continuous stream of slightly better versions of an adaption. Photosynthesis, however, I suppose could be evolved in one generation of you were very lucky. I just have those 'parts' just for the comic series, it isn't realistic. Stasis shell received the most votes, and so I shall use that in the next part.
