Akavakaku Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 While we already have a fanmade Matoran dictionary, sometimes it would just be nice to have a way to make Matoran-sounding words that don't mean anything, which is why I made this.http://www.generatorland.com/usergenerator.aspx?id=6764 It's still in a very preliminary phase, and not all the words it makes sound really Matoran. I'm also focusing on just the sounds of the words from 2001, as the language was at its most cohesive then. Any ideas, criticisms, or bug catches are welcome. 14 ( The bunny slippers hiss and slither into the shadows. ) -Takuaka: Toa of TimeWhat if the Toa you know best were not destined to be?

BULiK Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I think you did a good job! It's nice to have something like that, and I can really see it being used for things such as the BZPRPG, some fanfiction, etc. The only Issue I have is that it once came up with a word that I would not say is appropriate for the demographics of the site, but it's a minor issue and only those who already know what it is would notice. But that is only over 1 in 350,000 chance to get what I did (If I did the math right...), so I don't see it as a major problem. 2 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...
Akavakaku Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) Yeah, I think any sufficiently complex random generator can create some things that aren't appropriate. It can also generate some funny stuff too: I've gotten Jake, Nono and Nui-haha (Probably Metru Nui's comedy club). And also Maku, Kio, Huna and Rau.

Pomegranate Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 "Nui-jaja" So close That's a neat thing there! Could be very helpful for those of use who can't make up names for whatever reason we may need 'em And the interface, while simple, looks pretty. I think changing the font would help it look more finished. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akavakaku Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 Thanks! Actually the font is not changeable; it's one of about 50 theme choices that combine font, layout, color and background.

Some Random Phrase Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 This is great! I gave it some clicks, and it works well. If I need to make some names anytime soon, I'll use this.

Akavakaku Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) Glad people seem to like it. So I made another generator, this one to come up with Matoran characters.http://www.generatorland.com/usergenerator.aspx?id=6766It's not really as good as the previous, so suggestions are welcome.

Some Random Phrase Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 You should change the gender-ratio. I got three female Matoran in a row...

Akavakaku Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 The gender ratio is 50/50. 5 ( The bunny slippers hiss and slither into the shadows. ) -Takuaka: Toa of TimeWhat if the Toa you know best were not destined to be?

Oroki Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 What an awesome thing! I just clicked a few times and immediately came across a few combinations that sound like they were straight from 2001!

Master Inika Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 fThe gender ratio is 50/50.You know, only Ga-, Ce-, and Vo-Matoran are female, and they are all female. I also got a Matoran of Vacuum (identified as Ni-Matoran), which couldn't fit in the canon. In the language generator, I've gotten Pope, Rune, Kina (almost Kiina), One, Rama, and Rue. I found most the names I got to be quite Japanese-sounding. "You are an absolute in these uncertain times. Your past is forgotten, and your future is an empty book.

Akavakaku Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 Glad to have all this feedback! I might edit it and see if I can do something to make it a little closer to getting the canon names. Sounding like Japanese is pretty much expected, since Japan is a Pacific island (chain) and Pacific island language were the inspiration for Matoran. About the Matoran generator, Ni-Matoran was a mistake. It's a fan-made element of mine that I didn't mean to put in the final version. I'll fix that. And I know most elements are male-only or female-only. But I find that silly and think it would make much more sense if any element could have any gender. If you'd like to conform to canon gender rules, you can just ignore the generated gender. 3 ( The bunny slippers hiss and slither into the shadows. ) -Takuaka: Toa of TimeWhat if the Toa you know best were not destined to be?

Emzee Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 This is a nice little generator you have, Akavakaku. When I'm RPing in the BZPRPG, I typically just recycle names I've been using for the last 10+ years, but otherwise, I could see this being useful for those wanting to create new characters on the fly in the RPG forum. I also have nothing but praise for the 50/50 gender ratio. Nice work! "hey girl: here’s an idea, but… it’s up to you: You’re the boss of this operation."

Akavakaku Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 Thank you! To be honest, 50:50 was the easiest possible gender ratio to implement.

Ballom Nom Nom Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 This seems quite useful indeed. I often find myself stumped by creating a realistic-sounding Matoran name, so this will be a much better alternative to mashing keys and hoping something Matoran-sounding appears.

-Vesok- Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Very Nice! And in conjunction with the matoran dictionary, i was able to generate words with actual meanings such as Korae(Ice storm) and Avoran(Eternal Light), which will be used in my upcoming fanfictions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petewa Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Seems like a cool idea, I'll try it out later, when I can find a device without zScaler. I tend to just switch around letters of a few words from some obscure song, but this seems like it'd work, too.
