Krayzikk Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 The transition from Matoran to Toa has never occurred in game for anyone except a staff character and the Wanderer's Company (Though they have yet to transform), and both were for plot related reasons. In other words, the percentage chance of it occurring is roughy 0.0000001 repeating. On this eve, the thirtieth anniversary of that first colony, many are left to wonder; is the world fast approaching a breaking point?

25K Now! Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Basically, you have no need to make a Matoran into a Toa really. Matoran are cool. They're like Hobbits. http://vimeo.com/198967785 BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BULiK Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I think that the chances of getting a toa stone are the same as winning a lottery while being hit by a meteorite just after you saw bigfoot. But I would recommend, if this is your first time in a TBRPG, to start off with a matoran character. It's just a lot easier, so you can get used to roleplaying until you can better realize what is practical and allowed with elemental/mask powers Visit www.BZPRPG.com to view my project of archiving BZPower's RPGs, and also access the BZPower Roleplaying Wiki BZPRPG Profiles - Ghosts Of Bara Magna Profiles Exo-Force RPG Profiles - Six Kingdoms: Apocalypse (Knichou, Berys, Arnex, The Taku, Exuze) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~Xemnas~ Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 (edited) Maybe an important post. Just maybe. *sniffles* Oh the things I have lost! XP Anyway, I knew that the crystals had something to do with all this... and I wonder that that failsafe is... probably some sort of weapon or something. I think that the chances of getting a toa stone are the same as winning a lottery while being hit by a meteorite just after you saw bigfoot. But I would recommend, if this is your first time in a TBRPG, to start off with a matoran character. It's just a lot easier, so you can get used to roleplaying until you can better realize what is practical and allowed with elemental/mask powers I agree. Testing out your skills with a Matoran character first is always a good idea, as they don't have any special powers (plus, proving your skills with a character that has no powers is always cool ). Once you're experienced, you'd probably move on to other species.

Voutok S'Tythe (Ray) Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Yeah, I was leaning more towards a matoran character for starting anyway lol.Basically, I have a ton of characters I could call in, and about a quarter of them have entire backstories as both Matoran and Toa. I wanted to know up-front if there were any off-chances of Matoran-Toa transformations in the RP so I could alter the mindset accordingly. I.E. "odd feelings deep down like there's something more" (their destiny, foreshadowing of becoming a Toa) or simply "an admiration of a Toa's prowess and a desire to be the best they can be" (if I shoot for a perma-matoran), to give the somewhat-cheesy and generic examples.From what's been said, I'll probably just shoot for a kick-butt perma-matoran for now lol. Well, thanks. 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.

Ghosthands Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 For Toa, you can say in their backstory how they became a Toa. That's fine. It's just transformations happening in-RP that need staff permission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARROW404 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I've got plenty of RP experience, myself. Just not Bionicle RP. I wanted to start as a Matoran, but then I'd have no way to integrate him in the story, given Kehuri's personality (I've basically had Kehuri for a while, so I wanted to give him a shot), so Toa he was.

25K Now! Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Realistic romance is very hard to play. Most of the time, I keep away from it. I really like subtext though. Lots of subtext.

25K Now! Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 My dear Constructman, have you ever thought of me as a realistic person?

Palm Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 There are few relationships in the RPG that seem actually real.Even for somebody who plays a character in one of those relationships, it's pretty tough.
