I kind of meant MOCing without the use of an Inika base. Suppose something like 'custom torsos would have worked better.
Anyway, thanks for the tip. I think I'll try that NPU idea out.

My BZPRPG character, Elmara.
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «What's in a name?-Does the character share the Author's/Player's name? (This can be their first name, middle name, or the name they go by in chat or an online forum.)
Okay, this is a bit hard to answer. I created Elmara several years ago, long before I joined BZP. So I think I'll leave this one.
What is your character?-A Toa (1 Point)
1 point.
What's your character's origin? (Choose all that apply.)-A Matoran turned into a Toa by Toa stones (1 Point)
1 point.
Tell me, what is your day job?-Kill people for money? (3 Points) (If your character is a bounty hunter, assassin, Dark Hunter, or mercenary, answer "yes.")
3 points.
Does your character use some kind of weapon to fight? (Multiple weapons are cumulative.)-A firearm(3 Points)
-A staff or whip (0 Points)
I think a crossbow would fit under firearms. 3 points.
What's your mask power?-Kakama, Paraki, Mahiki, Komau, Calix, Kandin, Huna, Volitak, Kulasi(3 Points)
3 points.
Why would you do something like that?-Because I need more power/wealth/personal goods/whatever (2 Points)
2 points.
Where did you learn to do that?-I taught myself after years and years of hard practice. (2 Point)
2 points.
Total: 15 points, or 25 if the name thing counts.

Well, Lavion, If you know how it's pronounced, It's not quite as bad. Even thought Jala is spelled Jaller now, it's still pronounced JAH-lah.

I use you as an example because I know that you have said things that worked well as examples for my rants.

Pardon my ignorance. I'll change that up.

Primis:
I realize that now, but my point is still valid. Lego was considering canceling Bionicle in 2003 as well, but the sales of the Rahkshi were to profitable to end it. Sort of the same idea here. Lego had decided to give Bionicle one more shot in 2009/2010, but they missed completely.
But no, they didn't. The only reason it didn't end in '08, was because the money they invested in TLR would've been a complete and total waste. Hence why it ended immediately after TLR. The Stars and the last two comics weren't even originally planned, but the BIONICLE team managed to convince them otherwise, as a final farewell.
Primis:
Please pardon my ignorance. But still even if Lego had to be convinced by the story team to keep it going one more year, they could've at least not given us the botched job (In my opinion) that was the Stars.

Kopaka the Bunny:
That would have been pretty cool. In fact, I would have liked to see all the Toa Mata as STARS, as maybe a sort of 'special edition' set.

TNO5:
I liked the Phantoka too, but I would probably like them more if they a) looked more like the original Toa Nuva (Again, not carbon copies, but similar) or B) were not the Toa Nuva in the first place. Also, the Ignika would have depowered the Nuva to defend Bara Magna. The Ignika knew that the people were helpless, and needed real Toa to help them, especially since the Skrall were attacking again as well.

I think Bionicle should have ended with a broken font tag too.
Fixed.

Strawberry, to be specific.
But seriously, yes. I am very jealous. Very jealous indeed.

Personally, the last one is my favorite.

An interesting point, but also remember that we've only seen Takua lava surf, but we know that others do too. The two times we've seen Takua surf likely aren't the only times he's surfed.

Do we know, for sure, that Av-Matoran do not have a shred of heat resistance? And that Takua did not suffer whatsoever from discomfort?
Heat resistance is a Ta-Matoran thing. Av-Matoran have the ability to change their armor color and launch bolts of light energy. And he said himself that the only place he felt comfortable in all of Mata Nui was Ta-Koro.

Urgh. Argh urgh. Urgh urgh urgh.
It's just not the same.

Well, now that I am all caught up on the Annals of Kemet Nui, I feel as though posting here would be a good idea.
Turaga Saait fairly cool. Interesting how you managed to give it a well-balanced color scheme with purple. Where did you get those hands? They weren't in the Nui-Jaga, were they?
Turaga Sah- Love the body design. So simple, yet so ingenious. I really love Turaga Ferohn's... "Shadowed-up" body.
Matoran- All fairly cool, but it bugs me a little bit to see so many different body types for the same population of Matoran. I dunno, I'm just a little OCD about that kind of thing.
Toa Sah- All very cool. I like the use of the Metru body on Atemu and Akito. I haven't seen that in a while. Also, I absolutely adore Ukhikh. SO MUCH TEAL. I don't remember there was actually that much teal in BIONICLE. But then I remembered the Tarakava. Metu is also a cool one. I like the system parts, but the color scheme is a little icky for me. But then, he's a Toa of Poison, isn't he?
Toa Neteru- Ausar bugs me a little bit. I think it's the cape...Yeah, definitely the cape. It just makes his head and shoulders (knees and toes) look awkward. Heru needs some more buff in his legs. He's looking a little lacking in that region. Sutekh, I think, needs longer legs. Vahki legs are some of the shortest you can get in BIONICLE. He looks far too tall to have such small legs. Auset and Nebt-Het, on the other hand, are perfect. I really like Nebt-Het's wings and claws.
Ignama- Ignama's looking pretty heavily armored there. I like it for the most parr, but I think some of his armor (not much, but some) could be blue, so his mask would look so oddly coloured.
Burnak- Great representation of the not-set Rahi. Really the only complaint I have resides not on the figure, but in the description... canine felines
Frostelus- Kinda looks like he could eat me. But seriously now, not bad. But again, the blue coud be distributed a little better. Having his head blue and the rest of him white is a little odd.
Nui-Bauk & Ohee- One word-Cute!
Rock Raptors- Great revamp! The only thing I can nitpick on is the arms. the shoulders appear unarticulated. But who am I to judge, as I would have done the same thing.
Serqet-Jaga- Holy cow. That is awesome. It looks so menacing, and looks like a real scorpion. But that's also why it's gross. I can't stand arachnids. But really, a great creation.
Wild Fang Tooth- I absolutely love this thing. I want it. How much?
Sebau- I like it. It looks like a chibi. I like the use of the Inika head- Could never figure out any other use for that thing but a bad head.
Samiu- Don't know why, but this reminds me a little of Pohatu. And that is a good thing.
Nak- Hrm. It's good, but it looks a little akward. The stubby Mata arms and the giant legs aren't a good combination. I suggest making the arms longer.
Aso- Why so small, Aso? this reminds me of the STARS sets. Like, a smaller, pocket-sized version of a larger set. Now, I don't hate it's STARS-ness because it's not the last thing we're ever going to get out of BIONICLE.
Tekhtekh-
Metamorphosed Tekhtekh- Much better. Are the black Tahu flame and the Pohatu claws painted, or did they come in a set?
Wow. Super-long post. Well, anyway, great job so far, and can't wait to see more updates!

I'm going to have to be persuaded on the elements of sleep, anger, elasticity, and density. Also, what exactly does moonglow control?

I might be able to get you a Ditto for an Infernape or a Torterra, if you've got one of 'em.

Clearly, you do not suffer from incopmlete data.
