They Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Thanks for the replies) Those are the reasons you listed, and though some of them I find fixable, there's enough of them to make it clear:- Too powerfull canon characters;- The goal is in making a unique story, rather than retelling the canon;- Most canon char's are dead (this made me sad, to be honest D:)- It's hard to decide who gets to play this or that character; However, can characters have a close resemblance to canon chars's or be their clones/dark twins/shadow copies, as long as they aren't overpoweres and have weaknesses? I don't know if this has been said yet, but there's a matoran of stone who goes by Ahkmou in the RPG. He's not actually Ahkmou, but he can sure pull it off. Remember everyone, lying can happen. http://www.bzpower.com/board/index.php?showtopic=9733&page=2&do=findComment&comment=546628 Link for the BZPRPG 2013 arc profiles.

otter Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Ahkmou is dead. I killed him. Ishi certainly isn't, though, and anymore, Ishi's been playing as Ahkmou, because Ahkmou's death was pretty quickly covered up. Therefore, There really aren't that many people who know that Ishi isn't Ahkmou. profiles i guess i'm a south american giant otter now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Quick questions on Masks of Healing:1. Is there an official IC Matoran word for them?2. How powerful are they? As in, can they reattach limbs?3. And also can the wearer use it on themself? 1.) Sana is the most common game term for the mask of Healing, although it is not TLG Canon. Again, as have been said before, we do not run on TLG canon for a large portion of things.2.) Riaril regrew Emotia's spinal column and some internal organs after the fall of the Ta-Koro Guard Hospital by using additional biomass from a dead rahi. She passed out after the work, completely drained, and didn't wake up for a day. We have to remember Riaril was a trauma medic, a first responder, and incredibly proficient in her healing abilities. As for specifically re-attaching a limb, I'm sure if the character had proficient enough ability with their kanohi it would be possible, but don't forget the toll.3.) It's been done in-game, not by myself though. With Riaril she actually gets wounded by healing others these days. http://www.bzpower.com/board/index.php?showtopic=9733&page=2&do=findComment&comment=546628 Link for the BZPRPG 2013 arc profiles.

Void Emissary Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Everyone else has done a great job of answering questions, and I can only really add that according to BS01: The Mask of Healing is a Kanohi that allows its user to heal others (but not themselves).So, in answer to your third question, Miras: sorry, but you wouldn't be able to.-Void 1 [ BZPRPG ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Quite Dead Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 It also helps keep the God Modeing down by preventing people from coming back from an attack that should have killed them.

Void Emissary Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 You can make a move that could be fatal for the opponent (much like the example which you gave), but you can't role-play the other character actually being mortally injured or killed, unless the other player has given you explicit permission. Like all other character injuries, it's up to the other player to determine whether their character bites the dust or not. -Void [ BZPRPG ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvan Haven Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 You can kill another character with permission from their player. A good roleplayer would let the hit land and just play out the results but killing another person's character without asking them first tends to lead to bad blood. "I serve the weak. I serve the helpless. I am their sword and their shield. If you want to strike at them, you must go through me, and I am not so easily moved."

Krayzikk Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) Technically? Yes. PC have been killed in such a manner before, and most likely will be again. However, it is not encouraged. A PC kill usually should be done with the permission of the player, not by being forced into a situation where there's no alternative. That said, if there really is no alternative, then it's usually said that a player should accept it. It is, like I said, not encouraged, however.

The Lorax Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) They can, though it is polite to consult with bob's player first. In a situation where character death seems the only realistic option, it is what should happen. However, since the character technically can't be killed without the player's say-so, they would need to actually give permission for the killing blow to occur. They would probably also have a few things to say about exactly how their character goes, like an opportunity for some last words. Ninjas! Ninjas everywhere!

Mel Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 It also helps keep the God Modeing down by preventing people from coming back from an attack that should have killed them. Well, in cannon the Kiril works the other way (healing self but not others), so it makes sense that the mask of healing wouldn't do both.

The Lorax Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) It covers things that we might usually identify as "crystal" rather than all crystalline materials. A huge variety of chemicals can be crystallised under the right conditions, but that doesn't mean that toa and Skakdi of crystal can start producing crystals of TNT or cyanide, and especially not ice and rock, though they are technically also crystalline solids. As far as known inclusions go, we have quarts and other minerals, diamonds, jewels, lightstones, heatstones, and zamor crystal, though the last one obviously requires some specialist knowledge to manipulate, given its rarity.

Silvan Haven Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I'm sure you could control sand like crystals, but I think that the stuff you find in the desert would fall under a Toa of Stone.

sunflower Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Sand doesn't fall under a Toa of Stone's control, thus why Rock and Sand were separate elements on Spherus Magna.

Silvan Haven Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 In Bionicle canon they are, but considering that the Toa of sand got turned into a Toa of stone once The player's request got nixed it seems to be different in the BZPRPG.
