BenLuke Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 It's always funny when people insist that no one is allowed to remember things from outside Mata Nui when Staff-played characters and tons of other have.

Jean Valjean Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) Javert, I'm looking up Kethrye's profile right now because I'm thinking of setting up some brief interaction related to the death of the Turaga with my character Nixie. That character is currently at a place called the Powadi. It's not described on the front page, so I'm just wondering if you can describe it to me. And with regards to foreign islands, to my understanding it's okay to include them in your backstory, but you never go back to them or include them in the action that takes place in this RPG, since everything IC is on Mata Nui, because that's where the action is. 24601 Edited January 3, 2013 by Jean Valjean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BULiK Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) I find it strange that with the number of Batman fans on this site that the most popular characters aren't Matoran. 24601 Well, It varies for every case, I suppose. For me, 78.26% of my characters (Including concepts, works in progress, etc.) are matoran, while in Gravity's case, for instance, only 16.6666667% of his characters are Matoran. It just depends on the player, I guess.

Toa Of Virtues Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I have returned! I'm gonna need to catch up on what happened since I left. I am scraping a bunch of my characters, and starting fresh. Except for Mambo. If anyone else is interested in wraping up the skanohi plot or taking over a character, pm me. So before I start RP-ing again, can someone give me a brief rundown of what I need to know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean Valjean Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) Well, we know that the Turaga are dead. Or at least, your character will inevitably find out, unless you intentionally avoid it for the fun of creating someone who's terribly behind the times. As for Joske Nimil, I don't know. I'd have to look into that, but perhaps the quest involves a collective effort of team mates. 24601 Edited January 3, 2013 by Jean Valjean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Of Virtues Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) Ok, mambo is pretty behind times (since he has been lost in Ko-koro wandering the wastelands for some time now). But the next character I'm making would know. Who wants some interaction in Le-Wahi? Edited January 3, 2013 by Toa Of Virtues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean Valjean Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I have a character in Le-Wahi, but she's currently on teh shores and probably heading to Ta-Koro to see the place where Vakama died. However, last summer I had a character written as heading toward Le-Wahi, but I never completed the journey. Apparently, he gets lost real easily. But then, he's from off the island, and I don't think he would know about the turaga dying yet, though he will pretty soon if I start using him. Go to the profile pages and look up Laryn. There are two characters by that name; the one that's in my post is mine. Hopefully he looks like something you'd be comfortable with interacting with. Actually, forget the search. Here's a plain old link to my character sheets. Halfway down is Laryn, underneath "Individual Toa". 24601 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuff said. =3 Behind this sucky post count, a writer and hardcore RPer lies in wait of a reason to post... For those who will likely ask when reading some of my non-RP posts: for me, "*shot*' = "I know that what I said was something stupid and I am acknowledging this before people think I'm serious." Oh yeah, and my current BZPRPG character bio can be found here. "Why...me? Oh yeah, that's right. I'm weak. I'm of a minority, a minority of people with a common trait: we hear too much. And what we're supposed to hear hurts to hear. When I'm alone in a silent room, I can hear a pebble dropping from a mile away. I can hear a motor boat being started up several yards off the coast. A whisper from outside, I can hear as if they were talking right at me. An explosion in another koro, I hear as if it's just outside. Sounds useful, right?""Wrong.""It's a curse, if you ask me. The same pen dropping inside this aforementioned silent room would ring in my ears. If I stood by the same motor, I'd get a headache. The same whisper would ring in my ear like two metal beams being slammed together in front of my face. The same explosion would render me deaf for years...thank the Spirit I thought of getting me something to dampen the noise, or I'd end up like the rest of my kind..." ~Voutok S'Tythe; unknown date, unknown location Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
