Here is where you can talk about Bzp.

NS_Venom

If I may ask, who does have accounts? That way, I can make someone the mod here.

Lord Kaen

*points at Banryx* Him

General Ceyrox

Also, me, Storms, Bane, and Abyss. I think everyone who has accounts there should be a mod.

P.S. Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dread Abyss

Yeah, I just changed my name. I'm Raethr.

Lord Storms

btw, has anyone else noticed that BiA just ended?

Dread Abyss

Yeah, it was actually a pretty good ending.

Lord Storms

I almost feel sorry for Vultraz...

A good Teridax in the MU will be VERY interesting, though.

Dread Abyss

Me too. He had no storyline role whatsoever, that's just cruel.

I think it might not be...

Evil Teridax sees Good Teridax, Evil Teridax zaps Good Teridax thus killing him.

Lord Storms

Of course, Teridax might want to just tear Alt. Teridax's mind apart for examination instead.

And did you know that Vultraz is technically a Piraka?

Colonel Banryx

Well, the good Teridax doesn't really look like a Makuta, and he could really easily shapeshift into a matoran or something. I just am glad that someone that powerful is on the good side for once, excluding Axonn, who doesn't have as many powers but equally annoying ones, and Brutaka, who's completely a different person now.

Lord Storms

True.

And Toa aren't weaklings, it's just the Factions have members of ancient, near-extinct species to help them. It's like calling the humans in Resistance weak for struggling to defeat the Chimaera.

Colonel Banryx

I didn't say they were weak, Makuta are just overly powerful.

BTW, Storms, did you get the Glatorian and Agori? I got all six Agoria and Glatorian, and I might get Tuma and Fero and Skimrix today.

Lord Storms

I love uber villains who lose in the end because they're too busy backstabbing each other.

And I don't have many of the '09 sets yet, just Malum.

Colonel Banryx

Yeah, he's cool, if not a little short. I made him a bit taller, though. My favorite is Vorox, then Strakk, and then Skrall, and so on. Zesk is by far the best Agori.

Lord Storms

My friend has Tarix and Strakk. My favorite would probably be Gresh, but Malum's really cool too. And Skrall looks good.

Colonel Banryx

Skrall's nice and all, but there's something about Vorox that is just loveable.

Lord Storms

Like the fact that he looks like Avak?

Colonel Banryx

He doesn't look like Avak at all. His helmet, in person, is actually very small.

Lord Storms

You're right. It's just that I hadn't seen a high-quality pic of him until AFTER I posted that.

General Ceyrox

Maybe it's because brown/tan is back?

Colonel Banryx

Brown and tan are different colors.

Dread Abyss

Err... this is Bzpower discussion, we have a topic for Bioncle discussion in case you want to use that. (it always feels odd saying that)

I've been thinking about writing an epic about Association Exiled because I really like them and I have more inspiration about that story (I'm still thinking of rahi for Raethr's epic).

Off topic: I got Strakk, Gresh, Vorox, Raanu, Metus, and Tuma (and Tarix from Banryx and Ceyrox). Though I still want Zesk and maybe a Skrall; my favorites are Tuma and Strakk. I also really like Tarix, thanks Banryx and Ceyrox!

Colonel Banryx

What do you care, Abyss? We're talking about Bionicles, which is what Bzpower's about. So just cool it.

Dread Abyss

Meh, feh, fleh. I think talking about the sets would be better in Bionicle discussion, but that's just me. I really should get over my writer's block and write an epic, I have so many ideas that are just wasted.

Colonel Banryx

Well, don't steal my idea about assosciation exiled.

Lord Storms

Sorry this isn't on the topic we've been talking about, but I just remembered the best Greg quote ever:

7) Isn't putting all five of the Piraka in one tank a bad idea? What if they start killing each other?

7) Who cares? They're creeps anyway.

Colonel Banryx

Yeah, whatever. Although I have to say I like the pre-creep Piraka quotes a lot more.

Lord Storms

Pre-creep? They were ALWAYS creeps. Just cool ones with good quotes.

General Ceyrox

Abyss, how can you not think of a rahi? You have like a million!

Colonel Banryx

Lord Storms

No, their personalities.

Dread Abyss

Your idea?:what:

There are several rahi I could choose, but I want them to be creative and I also want to be able to MOC them.

I think the Piraka in a fish tank would act like piranhas.

General Ceyrox

A Mosquito would be cool.

Lord Bane

.... I made a bunch of mocs and decided to write about them....

Colonel Banryx

Dread Abyss

You.

Yeah, I should make a mosquito. I'm currently making a rock steed.

Colonel Banryx

Assosciation Exiled WAS my idea.

General Ceyrox

A Mosquito could be cool because it could use it's needle to suck out your light, or energy, or element, etc.

Colonel Banryx

My idea now!

Dread Abyss

Colonel Banryx

Remember, when I wanted you to join the RPG, and I was originally gonna name the clan Asosciation Exiled. I even came up with the backstory about the Toa who were exiled from their lands banding together and then schisming.

Dread Abyss

I think I came up with the name, but you did come up with the toa part. I forgot about the exiled toa, so you needn't worry about me stealing the idea. My new idea of AE is much different, it has Praag* in it.

*He used to be called Plague.

Colonel Banryx

No, I did come up with the name, I'm sure of it. I was very preoccupied that night when we went to your church, remember? And it seems to me that you'd still be using my exiled Toa idea.

Dread Abyss

I was pretty sure I came up with it, I remember I suggested Exiled. Though you may have linked Association and Exiled together. Nah, I have no intention on using the toa idea. I decided I'd have 6 or 7 members of a new species that got strange, new powers that they accidentally released upon the city (the island is a giant city).

Colonel Banryx

No, I know I came up with the name. Hands down. You didn't come up with "Exile" because that is one of the first things that came into effect with Streylex's storyline and the Organazation revolved around him. And I know you didn't come up with that tidbit about his past.

Lord Storms

Who likes the idea of a Toa betraying his team and then dying in a last-ditch effort to save them and redeem himself?

Dread Abyss

Ah, yes now I remember that. Well you have me there, Bemo. However I pitched association and I think I combined the two (though I may be wrong again

).

I like it, but who does he have to save them from?

Lord Storms

A Makuta.

Dread Abyss

Ah, excellent. I use makuta as villains for some of the story ideas I've thought of. Such as Drakhao (Daarkhao), Raethr, and the Association.

Lord Storms

Ah. I have a few I use whenever I want a central villain (which I don't always have)...

Dread Abyss

I have a main villain of most of them, though he isn't the one they're supposed to fight, he's just the one who ruined their lives. Though I don't think Ksharn affects Raethr, they never meet. The only one who fights him is Drakhao.

I like making the main character/characters the villain/villains.

Lord Storms

Really? I have yet to do that. I prefer to write from the hero's perspective.

Dread Abyss

I have trouble making a believable hero as a main character, so instead I use a character that has problems. Like Raethr, he's a good person but he can go too far. Raethr has anger issues and no limits, but he still manages to do the right thing.

Have you made any rahi you like?

Colonel Banryx

My manzeyix devoured the hate that makes up the hearts of the unworthy...

Dread Abyss

But you took it apart...

Colonel Banryx

Hersmeshnu; devourer of the pained soul of death...

Dread Abyss

He doesn't devour souls, does he? I thought he just drove people's souls into agonizing insanity.

Colonel Banryx

Shkle can do anything...

Lord Storms

Bane made a drone that devours souls...

And another friend of mine made a Makuta that steals them...

Colonel Banryx

Hersmeshnu is far beyond that...

General Ceyrox

It's true, nothing can stop Hersmeshnu! Also, Mr. and Mrs. Belvadere, two adorable customs I made that can do ANYTHING!

Colonel Banryx

Yes, Mr. and Mrs. Belvedere are pretty unstoppable. Only Karzahni can see them.

Lord Storms

Hermeshnu and the Belvederes both sound overpowered...

Colonel Banryx

It's sort of a joke. Hershmeshnu is like the worst custom ever made. It was made as a joke. It's a foot with a head on it. And no piece matches in color to another. And Mr. and Mrs. Belvedere are cute little creatures but have unstoppable mayhem. They aren't serious characters though. They're just deadly.

General Ceyrox

They're just jokes we made. Like I made this Bionicle with a chewed up krana for a face, it was eternally giving birth.

Dread Abyss

Don't forget when I made Sunshine! He was so cute, but he desperately needed an exorcism.

General Ceyrox

No he didn't! He was PERFECT!

Dread Abyss

Perfect, shmerfect. His head turned 360 degrees while nobody was even touching him!

Colonel Banryx

That's a good thing.

General Ceyrox

In a bad way...

Dread Abyss

In a fun way!

General Ceyrox

Hey Abyss, me and Banryx are Premiers now! You should too, if you have the money. We only did the six months one though, if we still like it. We can do lifetime!

Dread Abyss

You two are?

*evil laughter*

General Ceyrox

You are what?

Dread Abyss

It says that you two are just members, does it take a day?

General Ceyrox

It said we would be "within the week"

Dread Abyss

That's cool; what do you two plan to do as premier members?

General Ceyrox

I don't know, I just thought we'd try it.

Dread Abyss

I'd rather spend the money on Bionicles.

Colonel Banryx

It was only about five bucks.

Dread Abyss

Yeah, no bionicles are that cheap anymore... though the cheap, new matoran come close.

Are you going to make polls now?

General Ceyrox

I like my rank image. Plus, we only have to wait 45 days to change our names.

Colonel Banryx

I made a poll already. And a blog.

General Ceyrox

Plus we got two proto boosts!

Dread Abyss

Should I name Raethr's epic In The Cage or We Are Prey?

Colonel Banryx

If I knew anything about it, I could tell you.

General Ceyrox

Duffman says We are Prey, because your rahi MOCs will probably be in it. Oh yeah!

Dread Abyss

Alright, that's cool. We Are Prey works well for the theme of an island full of dangerous predatorial rahi.

The story is: Raethr ends up isolated on a desolate island full of deadly rahi as he tries to be a toa and save the remaining matoran, if there are any. He's told that the remaining matoran should be hiding in the remains of a giant building that served as a zoo, the zoo is at the other side of the island so Raethr must fight his way across the island.

Colonel Banryx

This vaguely reminds me of Jurrasic Park. Just pointing that out. And I'd say we are prey is a better name. And just a suggestion. For someone who's had like five epics, I suggest you don't make Raethr solo. It's much easier to write for someone if he has a partner of some sort...

Dread Abyss

Yeah, it reminds me of Jurassic Park 3 as well. Though they have their significant differences.

I'm sort of making Raethr solo, there's a Dark Hunter and seven other matoran in it, but he's mostly alone in the dangerous terrains. Plus the first two chapters show Raethr's life on Metru Nui so there are several other toa he interacts with.

General Ceyrox

I really can't see you stretching that out into an epic... :ha:

Colonel Banryx

I agree with Ceyrox...

And let me rephrase that: You really SHOULD make him have another character he can talk to... it is very necessary.

General Ceyrox

Also Abyss, make me, Banryx, you, Storms, and Bane moderators here... would you?

Lord Storms

I agree with Banryx*. You need to have one or two other people with Raethr.

*It's the apocalypse!

Colonel Banryx

Abyss and Storms don't need to be moderators...

Dread Abyss

The chapters won't just be of Raethr, they'll also center around six matoran on a quest as well as a Dark Hunter and a matoran. Raethr will eventually meet up with the Dark Hunter. Oh, I know how to easily expand the epic.

Sure, you guys can be moderators.

Colonel Banryx

What I'm saying is that it's going to be annoying when Raether's all alone. He needs someone to talk to, to go after, or to make mistakes that he simply can't make. Trust me when I say, it is very necessary.

Dread Abyss

Raethr acts as the guy in the action scenes as he's usually fighting different rahi, the six matoran story works well for the interaction that's needed. The flashbacks of the different sections of the island work well also.

Lord Storms

It's an interesting idea.
