Timageness Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 The Anxila, at this time, are a nonissue. Until such a time as JL comes back and resumes the plots and events involving them, there has been (and only will be, due to the plot-based nature of their creation) the one batch of Anxila. In other words, anyone who can have one already has one. Uyism is an active character, but the Iroiit as a whole have not been approved on a species-wide basis this arc, As for what has been approved overall, the staff don't really maintain a list of custom species, masks, and elements. Largely because there are specific circumstances behind them. Uyism and Karnakie, for example, are both individuals from species that are as a whole not approved. Only the specific character is. Similar occurrences happen with masks (Vakua's Suletu, for example), and there are things that were approved that have been quietly axed entirely (looking at you, Valkyr). I'll see about discussing the creation of such a list for next arc, but we don't actively maintain them. The approved species list in the Profiles Topic exists for Bionicle and BZPPG canon species. Bionicle canon is obvious, and the only example of a BZPRPG canon species is the Lesterin, which are on that list because they have become ubiquitous. To answer the direct question that was asked, though... Assuming my memory is accurate, there are no active custom elements. There was one example of a custom element this arc, but it was a unique one-off occurrence. Species are a little more broad. We have the Tiokaha, recently. At the start of this arc the Lesterin were custom, but at this point they're just commonplace. Off the top of my head, those are the only two. A lot of species didn't bridge the gap between Arc 1 and Arc 2, and some of the ones that did were relying on players that are no longer around.Didn't the Parakuka start off as an idea for a custom species as well? And wouldn't the Dasaka also fall into this category somewhat, even though they were introduced by the GMs?Ditto for Crystal and Sand (Stone), though the latter is treated more as a substitute power, is custom only in the fact that it wasn't present for canon Toa, and the fact that I cannot personally attest to the activity level of the character in question. And while the example for Steam was the result of an Iden mishap (if that's what the "one-off occurance" happens to refer to), I seem to recall Nato possessing a Toa of Smoke (prompting Nuju to reveal that elements were approved on a case-by-case basis, if my memory is correct), which, last time I checked, was also not a canon element.

Krayzikk Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Parakuka were not originally custom, they were introduced by Nuju as part of the plot last arc. A case could be made for the Dasaka, but to no one's surprise, they're literally just the BZPRPG's version of Ce-Toa. Their culture and power modifications are noncanon, but that's whet thay are. You are right about Nato's Toa of Smoke though; I forgot about that one. And the Steam Toa was the one-off I was referring to, yes. Sand is debatable, but Crystal has been a BZPRPG standard element since the reboot.

Nuju Metru Posted December 24, 2015 Author Share Posted December 24, 2015 Parakuka were not originally custom, they were introduced by Nuju as part of the plot last arc. Ooh, ooh, Trivia Time, Trivia Time! Aaaaactually the Parakuka were originally somebody's custom species. Their creator (Nebula 2.0, if that player is still around) and I PMed back and forth for several weeks to hone his original species pitch into something that I felt would fit into the BZPRPG world in terms of genre, power balance, etc. I gave the guy kudos in my original announcement post. It was because I liked the Parakuka so much, and I saw them fitting into my staff plot so well, that I appropriated the baby custom species for my own evil ends. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keeper of Kraata Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I was gonna say, I remember going over the original post introducing them here when I was making Fyura, and I remembered how they were used as an example of player-created custom stuff.

Specter Knight Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Guess who's back? Before I continue to get back into the action, I need a short recap on events that have happened recently, and a question to answer. That question is; If the Mangai Quest hasn't finished yet (and which I doubt it has), Can I remove the characters who have been stuck in there for goodness knows how long? Other than that, I'm looking forward to getting stuff done here again. (I'll do this eventually, I swear...)

Wade. Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 There's some important stuff happening in Kentoku's most recent pages right now (look for Tyler and Krayz's posts), and the baddies up in Ko are busy hitting on each other, so expect to see a few romances that'll make you feel genuinely uncomfortable in the near future. Oh, and we got a spoiler for next year's arc in this topic. As for the Mangai Quest, I uuuuh...I dunno? Is it done? If it's not, feel free to retcon your character out of that whole plot and have them go their own merry way as if nothing ever happened. 1 BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Urchin Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I've been wondering if I should get involved with the "main" story at all... And the main reason I haven't yet is because the BZPRPG seems so long! (Not to mention I haven't posted in over half a year.) What with that foreshadowing post though... hm. You veterans out there, give me some advice if you could! Should I join, and if so, when? Things like that.

Krayzikk Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 While I would absolutely encourage you to take part in the main plot, there isn't a lot to take part in at the moment. This Volume is currently in its final stretch. Buuut the next Volume (which will be coming soon, hence the teaser) should have much more to be involved in, and I would really encourage it.

Timageness Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Not trying to imply that I'm a veteran player by any means, but I suggest starting off by forming a general idea of what your characters want to accomplish first, and then try to involve them in whatever comes their way, so long as it reasonably meshes with some of their pre-established goals. That way, whether or not said plot has any relevance to the overall story, you still have something your characters can relate to, and it will feel less like they're merely going through the motions.For example, when I created Verulas, I originally had two things in mind for his specific character; fighting people, and getting paid for doing so, which is part of the reason why I expressed interest in joining The Outsiders shortly after Requiem made a post about them in this topic. When a member became seriously injured shortly afterwards at a time where our healer was temporarily out of action, one of his personality quirks (specifically the one where he hates seeing his comrades get hurt) caused him to suggest that they go out in search of another, thus partially and completely unexpectedly leading up to the alliance the group has with Ihu-Koro. So because of this, not only do I get to occasionally send him all over the island in order to do missions, but the organisation as a whole now has a part to play during the current conflict taking place in Ko-Wahi.I guess what I'm really trying to say here is that if you do decide to join in on the story, you might be better off trying to ease your characters into it instead of rushing into something, only to find out later that you don't like where it's starting to take them. And while it may limit your access to only the information found in the Starter Topic, the other occasional posts that have been linked to in this one, and whatever you can gain from the areas you currently have a character in, it might also be somewhat helpful to adopt a "The Story Starts With Me" perspective as well, in the event that you don't want to spend hours reading through the stuff that's already happened or simply don't have as much time as you'd like to post.

Timageness Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 As far as I know, The Outsiders have been pretty inactive as of late; almost none of the characters in Kini Nui have recieved any attention recently, Obsidian hasn't had any activity in a while, and despite my efforts to get the Ga-Wahi Team up and running again, I've been the only one posting.And Nato will probably agree with me on this since he has characters in both groups, but I really don't want the Mangaia Team to run into Dravennica and her allies down there (especially right in front of The Vault), so in a way, they're kind of holding up their progress as well.
