Nato G Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Why not go with something simple, like "the bad guys". We know who we're talking about, cuz the existing list of suggested names is kinda... I dunno...[title of group] - was this a legit suggestion? Or a really bad joke?Foe-Drinkers Anonymous - none of the bad guys are really anonymous. We all know who they are.The Really Really Bad Company - doesn't sound very scary. So it could be worth using, just for comedies sake. Echelon and the Pirakettes - sounds like the name of a bad dance group. Not particularly terrifying. The Piraka Pain Posse - the way I understand it, Echelon has the most followers, so this doesn't really work. And I think a sposse is usually a small group, whereas these guys have some serious numbers on their side.Insidious Incorporated - I wasn't aware that the bad guys were running an organization here. I thought they were trying to conquer the island. The Superfriends - sounds childish. Not very scary. So it's definitely a contender. Kingz of Pain - keeping to the Piraka's gang dynamic. But would Echelon and the Brotherhood agree to something like that? Plus these guys seem to be more into destruction rather than pain. The Height of Pretension - I think this should be what everyone else calls these guys, not necessarily what they call themselves. The names these factions already have are kind of intimidating, like Nightfall, and Legacy. They make an impact. The official name for the alliance needs to do the same thing, methinks.

Keeper of Kraata Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 It came up when megazordman's healer ga-matoran tried to use maggots to clear away the dead skin from a burn. While I acknowledged that it was a legitimate healing technique, IC Casanuva was having none of it, considering he was already fighting an infection from plunging his burning hand into a dead nui-kopen so the guns would extinguish it. For a matoran universe being, the harm from a burn to me would be limited to superficial armor damage and nerve damage. 1 The times, they are a-changing...

Silvan Haven Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Biological-mechanical ratio varies from person to person. As long as it does not mess with how somebody else plays the game nobody really has a problem with it. We just use more human biology in fights because that is what we all know. "I serve the weak.

Krayzikk Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I was just reading through an interesting OOC argument in the Ta-Wahi topic regarding the physiology of Toa. I can't find the link, but Greg did confirm on LMB that Toa are 70% mechanical and 30% organic. I don't know if this applies in the RPG, but whatever. This is a very good point to bring up. It varies from player to player, but on the whole, the BZPRPG tends to lean more towards a more organic perspective. Some of this is personal preference, and some of it is due to this; ...however, the BZPRPG recognizes a few differences, like reproduction and the ingestion of food, things that make them more like humans. General rule of thumb for the sake of equality is to think of characters’ physical limits and processes as being like those of humans, because we as players are all familiar with how the human body works. For the sake of ease in realism, a character's anatomy is like a human's, at the very least for the purposes of combat. This means that there is a skin, even if you don't necessarily want to call it that, that gets burned by fire. A burn, for anyone except a Toa of Fire or Plasma, is just as serious as (and nearly identical to) a burn you would suffer in the real world. There is "blood" that is bad to lose too much of, there are muscles, and internal organs, and all of that. And they're just as breakable for a Toa are they are for a human. Now, of course, you can think of them as being made out of protodermis or metal or artificial materials or whatever you want, just so long as you adhere to the way the human body would work in that instance. 3 On this eve, the thirtieth anniversary of that first colony, many are left to wonder; is the world fast approaching a breaking point?
