Toa Levacius Zehvor Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I used to be really active on the Comedy forum, but now I rarely go there and spend most of my time on this forum. I used to have six or seven authors I really liked; now there's only three or four good authors. And Artwork 3 (is it still called that?) is evil.So I'm here. Yay for you.Put in over half of my posts on this forum. One time, on Elementum-Nui, about ten people were all on at once, and... I swear, if they had the thing now on the old forum it would have been.Posting... posting...8 Posts have been added.O_oBackspace, cut, edit, redo5 Posts have been added.And then everyone stopped posting until the very end again. My fault for trying to make the RPG GM dependent the first time.Lord knows that doesn't work.-Toa Levacius Zehvor "I disapprove of what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." - Evelyn Beatrice Hall (often attributed to Voltaire) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObfuscatedCubeEntity Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I would like to see more posts in the RPG topic, looking and seeing the one unread post, only to learn it's in this topic is quickly getting old.

Toa Levacius Zehvor Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 To Myr;This RPG is moving at a fast pace. Look at Cradle of Civilization and Day Run.We're not going to every be as fast as BZPRPG because it has more players, and thus, more players in the same Time Zone and on at the same time.Personally, this is working to my liking. Could be a bit faster, but trust me. When the next contest ends, it goes crazy.You haven't been on long enough (I think) to know, but the first days after an RPG wins?You will be thankful for the "X posts have been added" function.Story progression means us doing something. We're just procrastinating because it's an RPG - we're not supposed to be constantly fighting. We're getting the group used to each other, making friends, getting rest.Your character feels he has to work, for some reason, instead of sleep. You need some downtime every once in a while.This is finals week for me. Since I'm completely confident in my abilities, I did absolutely no studying and still placed top in most of my tests (save Spanish; but my suck test grade wasn't too much of an impact, as her test was worth nothing. A 90.7% is still an A-)Not to brag.Back to that; I've been active, and thus been slightly bored with the downtime that everyone else seems to be going through.Not to mention that a lot of people will be on vacation for Christmas break.From 7th graders to college students. :PLong post is long, so I'll cut it off now. Just let your character relax for once and close off the BZP RPG tab. Listen to music. Read a book....Leave the tab open; refresh every 10 minutes. -Toa Levacius Zehvor "I disapprove of what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." - Evelyn Beatrice Hall (often attributed to Voltaire) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would read a book, but everything I want to read I have already read, and it is still fresh in my memory. And your post isn't long, you just use the enter key too much.

Parugi Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 (edited) Sorry for not posting much lately; been busy and tired. But I'm on winter break now, so... yeah. A note to anyone who has yet to add a weapon request to the wall:Add a weapon request on the wall.Nostala doesn't need a new weapon, so no. I'm not gong to. :PAlso, not to revive a dead issue, but the conversation last page about power usage brought a note to mind.Only the Shadow Hand wasn't as much of a shadow power as Shadow itself. Chirox was able to manipulate the shadow hand because killing the Toa Nuva in comic 1 would be a down because he focused on that power. He was a scientist and needed an extra limb, so he worked with that ability. Makuta was obviously based on the story an enforcer; he quelled the League and the Matoran Civil War for that reason.Not to mention that he was disagreeing with something he ate. That fight, by his own account, was him at the peak of physical strength, but at the lowest amount of control. I have no story proof of it, but personally, I think that was the only reason he wasn't able to manipulate his arm (has that ever been directly asked to Greg?).I will concur that yes, every member of the Brotherhood likely had their minimized powers. But considering shadow is a combat power, and the nature of the being we're talking about, I would say that any combat powers would be well practiced.But enough debate on how powerful Makuta was.I don't see any story proof of that being a power of the elements. As such, we cannot just say that its possible. It's a presumed idea that we have no proof of and is completely speculative.-Toa Levacius Zehvor If we're going off of canon, then Suicavel technically doesn't have the ability to shadow teleport. As far as BIONICLE canon has shown -- and there has been nothing to contradict this -- the only use of travel via shadow that either a Toa of Shadow or a Makuta can do is enlarging shadows to pass through them -- for a canon example, enlarging cracks in a wall to get through it, as happened in Dark Mirror. Complete shadow teleportation -- moving into random shadows and simply appearing in a completely new spot -- is, as far as canon currently shows, exclusive to the Dark Hunter called Shadow Stealer.Unless the experiments performed on Suicavel had the specific side effect of giving him that ability. Somehow. Though that's not mentioned in his profile.So.... yeah. Something to consider... :3 Edited December 17, 2011 by Parugi Follow me on YouTube! ~ Rise of the Rockets (I II)/Discussion Topic/Side Stories ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franco Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 (edited) The Bionicle Wikia sides with Par. The following is its list of what Shadow can do:[*]Creating shadows.[*]Controlling shadows.[*]Absorbing shadows.[*]Using shadows to teleport. (Exclusive to Shadow Stealer)[*]Creating a Shadow Hand (Exclusive to Makuta)[*]Unleashing a Shadow Nova Blast. (Exclusive to Toa)Jes' sayin'.On another and probably more relevant note: What is the current limit on the number of characters one can have? I looked in all three topics and didn't find any...I might not have looked hard enough, though.I ask because I have four chars and wish to make a fifth.

Toa Levacius Zehvor Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Originally BS01 had stated both absorbing shadows for physical energy and teleportation through them as Shadow Stealer exclusives. At some point before the shutdown, as you can observe in Cache, the tag was removed. I didn't know about that before I created him. However, it seems fair when you look at light, which has all sorts of powers that it can use.Unless you were allowed to cause somebodies shadow to squeeze them to death, but instantly killing another player isn't (fair) either.Actually, I'm pretty sure only about half their stores closed. But yeah, how is this on topic?If got hit off the topic by a sandstorm. It's sad to see Borders closing, but now is the best time to buy books there - they have all sorts of discounts, since they're trying to sell as much as they can before completely closing down.@ ToDD; Kanohi dampening armor and elemental immunity?

Toa Levacius Zehvor Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Oh no. I've been writing up characters for the new RPGs, and when I started writing this one up, I said, "Okay, Suicavel, now you know that you're going to die." But I will spoil you no more. If the Avsa instantly drained you to death, he'd be Suicavels second.

Toa Levacius Zehvor Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Epicly fails? Oh, no, it will be a much more dangerous attack. However, his mind is starting to degrade, so it will be a full frontal instead of stealthy attack. Unlike the next character. Somebody who can (gasp!) be roleplayed. And who (gasp!) plans their attacks and watches enemies. And who (gasp!) doesn't let his enemies escape.Honestly, I let a bunch of characters fighting Suicavel escape, but really, he would have just hounded Zyrata until the Zyglak was dead.

Parugi Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Blade, you be missing my point. Hordika can't use elemental or mask powers, except for through their Rhotuka in the former case. So Suicavel wouldn't be able to teleport or use the Avsa or any other Kanohi he might have on hand.Basically, if it gets fused to Suicavel's face and Kairan destroys it, it's going to destroy Suicy's face and kill him. :PRegardless....

Parugi Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Lev: True. Doubtful, though; I always thought it was implied that the Hordika Dragons were created from not-Toa, as Savage and the Toa Metru all had virtually the same mutations -- albeit more so with Savage due to his giving in to his inner beast. Either way, it's worth a try, and the transformation would disable Suicavel long enough for someone to finish him off. :PBlade: Aaah. Simple: Grapple check. :POr sneak attack. I can imagine Suicavel knocking Nostala away, getting distracted by the others, and Nostala coming in from behind and injecting him with the HV. Kind of like Beast and Magneto in X3.
