There's been a lot of attempts at a fan-made reboot or sequel of Bionicle, but Afterman is a little different. It's an original work of fiction inspired by Bionicle but legally distinct from it. Mechanical beings called the Kokei live an idyllic existence on the archipelago of Mahi Moko. The tribes revere a being known as Tetsujin, Lord of the Machine. Legends say he protected the people of the islands in times of great crisis in the past and ensures their peace and stability in the present and future. But when the forces of shadow attack their tropical paradise, the chiefs must choose 5 warriors to defend the islands; one Kokei from each tribe to wield the elements of fire, water, earth, air and ice. They explore the world beyond their islands, battle monsters, encounter other tribes and factions, piece together their history from fragments of documents and data, and eventually discover the ruins of a once-great city. However, the team soon learns that what they were lead to believe about their society wasn’t true, and it turns their world upside down. Will they still want to complete their quest after its true purpose is revealed? Why should you check us out? - original work of fiction inspired by Bionicle - not a remake, reboot, or attempt at a “G3” - run by a diverse group of people from all over the world doing this in their spare time and for free - still taking suggestions for worldbuilding and story - East Asian-inspired fantasy setting featuring plenty of female characters in varied roles - exploring and examining aspects of Bionicle that Bionicle itself never did, with a wider variety of character designs - because there’s too much negativity on the Internet and we’re trying to do something constructive inspired by the things we love Art and plot summaries can be found at project-afterman.tumblr.com. Please let me know what you think! Our group is working hard on the art and writing.
