Techn0geist Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Fairly big. The Fowadi is a warship, so while it isn't meant to carry lots of people, it is theoretically capable of doing so. The 'Vika, as a pirate ship, had a bit more carrying capacity. Assuming I remember all of this correctly. Incorrect. The Infernavika is a smaller, sleeker and faster ship than the Fowadi. But it does have multiple decks and storage space, and thus could potentially be used to carry refugees; however, I think that the large number of vessels in dock at Ga-Koro would be better used for this and the 'Vika and 'Wadi, as powerful warships, would be more useful in battle.All this talk of pirate ships makes me want to revive the Kavinika.

I have an awesome backstory for my character if he can be, but a fallback if he can't. Things like this are generally considered to be somewhat of a "no go". For reference, it's generally a good idea to think of characters as if they had existed during MNOG, and have a backstory somewhat according to that. Though totally go PM one of the staff about it, who knows, you might get it through. - BZPRPG - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Later, when I came back, one of my first actions was working to defend Ta-Koro. Now I've been here again nearly a year and I'm drawing up plans for, and being one of the leaders of, a bigger defence of Ta-Koro.

The Lorax Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 A couple of question here, so I don't end up with egg on my face later: Are the people in Le-koro talking about evacuating everybody from the village or just the non-combatants? Are the Rahkshi that appeared in Onu-wahi actually in the Onu-koro cavern, or outside but near to it? In other words, it it possible to block off the tunnel entrances to the village?

Makuta Almanax Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 for 1) I think we're aiming to evacuate all non-combatants, and THEN everyone else.For 2...I want to know as well.

25K Now! Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 We're planning on an evacuation of non-combatants first before the rest are evacuated.

Mel Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) It is worth mentioning that one of the reason things were changed from pre-reboot standards is because there were so many ludicrous species, and overpowered characters. Like lots and lots of Toa Inika from another universe on a mission from Mata Nui. Or the original Valkyr. Or the many Rahkshi. Or the Makutas. Or the Toa of Psionics. Indeed. There were far too many makuta before, and they are just far to easy to god-mod with, even in the hands of capable players. From what I've seen, the new rules make everything much more sane out of game. If you create a custome species, you should have to think about it for a while, and at least justify it. Is it against the rules for us to have a character from an alternate dimension? I have an awesome backstory for my character if he can be, but a fallback if he can't. And that, my friend, is one large pie that you don't want to cut into.

Elrond of Rivendell Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Basically, if a character came from another dimension, the character himself can't know about it, due to the fact that Nuju wants no memory of other islands/places besides Mata Nui. Which means that the dimension jumping is pointless. In other words: Other dimensions? What other dimensions? -Elrond Gentlemen, it's time to spread the word.

Makes me wonder why Lorax didn't include them as their own category in his census All of the characters here have amnesia. If they're on this island, they have amnesia. -Elrond Quite decidedly incorrect. First of all, every Toa, Matoran, or Turaga native to the island possesses their memories. And they never lost them, because as far as we know, Metru Nui never happened. Whether that changes or not is irrelevant; the only even possible memory loss is from the island change. Ignoring for a moment character-specific reasons, every being native to the island possesses their memories. Second, not all beings from other islands forget. The Aitua, for instance, all remember their original home. They merely cannot go into much detail about it. Raknar remembers, and there are countless others I could list that remember where they came from. They merely do not talk about it. This question was quite directly asked in the Q&A for the BZII. The answer was that they either had to forget, or not talk about it. That has stayed consistent, unless significant numbers of players are breaking the rules with their characters. On this eve, the thirtieth anniversary of that first colony, many are left to wonder; is the world fast approaching a breaking point?

Silvan Haven Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 A Fe-Toa would be far more effective against Rhkshi then your normal character, since they are almost entirely metal armor. As Almanax said, the Makuta were so afraid of them that they wiped out every single one they could find. "I serve the weak. I serve the helpless. I am their sword and their shield. If you want to strike at them, you must go through me, and I am not so easily moved." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
