Yes, but I don't like the idea of tall midgets!! I think they should be moderately sized, as in smaller than the Mata.

I think they still are, at least, for now...

I don't think the canisters can get much bigger now.

We're talking about the matoran.

They can get much taller...

Yup, Lego has a way with awkward proportions. And I think the Av/Kra-toran were taller than Onua, or at least Tanma and Kirop were.

I really don't think the proportions are that bad, its reallly just not very compatible with other years.

Are you talking about matoran proportions? Don't get me started on set proportions!

I think the matoran should stop getting taller with the canister sets and remain a certain, small, height.

What's wrong with their proportions?

I don't see anything wrong either. What's wrong with the proportions?

Well most sets nowadays have the proportions of a gorilla. I know they aren't humanoid, but they at least shouldn't be gorilla-like. I'm fine with villains having odd proportions like Vamprah and Chirox, with them it's fine.

How so? They aren't slouched or anything, is it just because their arms are long?

Well some of them are slouched.

Anyways, yes, it's partly the arms, it's partly the wide shoulders, and it's partly their longer than their body limbs.

Also, why do all of the new sets have bigger hands than their heads?

Also, Abyss, I started writing my new epic. You wanna read the first chapter?

Dread Abyss · Posted: Sat Mar 14, 2009 12:44 am Post subject:

... Yes.

Sure! Who's it about, does it have the General in it?

Yes!

Not at the beginning, no, but it involves Drestix. Here it is. It's kinda long, though.

Dark Horizon

A wise man once told me that time was like a never-ending river. Its flow is irreversible; its will, unknown. Few things can be known for sure about time.

Over time, people grow, learn, and meet new people. The common people, mostly the naïve ones, are obsessed with time’s nature and are convinced it is a good thing. But as people grow, they will learn to hate. Learning from mistakes creates perfection; but nothing is perfect, and time’s flow is an endless river of mistakes. From my several thousand years of life, I find time much more cruel, and am less naïve than the common people. My name is Drestix.

Most people I know think my views on life and time in general are cold and arrogant since I am an ice Toa, but I find their views uneducated and my views much more logical. I suppose they are just the common people. But even my best friends are common people, and I’ve learned to live with the common belief. And so time flows…

But if I’ve learned anything from time, it is that time doesn’t heal anything, it carves holes in your life and erodes away dreams with impossibilities. Its sole purpose is to destroy. And, in the past few years, it has eroded and shattered my life away. On the outside, I still appear to wear my white and silver noble armor, and my Great Suletu Nuva, mask of Telepathy, but on the inside, my body is becoming hollow and empty. It’s almost too late…

My best friend in my entire life, a Toa of Stone, who even, now, because of time’s eroding affects, I can’t remember, is gone. Recently, I have become more aware of these affects on my body and mind. Eventually, I will become a hollow shell containing no more life than an iced over corpse.

My absolute goal in life is to avoid this life. And if I am the sole survivor of time’s deadly embrace, my life shall not be in vain.

Drestix.

Hmm. Someone thought my name. A lone thought, no doubt, but still, I am curious enough to find the reasoning behind it. I wear the Kanohi Suletu because it reminds me of my days with Him, but also because it was transformed with me in the energized protodermis. That was actually just a few months ago.

Drestix, why are you on this beach?

Perhaps not a lone thought. They knew of me that was for sure. And up until now, I had forgotten I was on this beach. Shocked at how easily I was distracted, my mind was easy prey for this… person’s thoughts.

I thought I might find you here. I understand why you haven’t been to the village lately, but you never even talk to anyone anymore. I know it’s hard for you especially, but he’s dead, you’ll have to get over it.

I mentally winced at the mention of him. It was the stone Toa. Time isn’t really the one who eroded his name away, but lately I’ve tried so hard not to think of his death, everything about him has started to fade away. It was definitely a mistake.

“How did you know I was listening, Raeus?” I asked the being. I was almost sure of her identity.

Lately, that’s all you’ve been doing. I’m surprised you were able to pick up the context of my thoughts. Well done. Really, though, you still haven’t come back to the village. The others are worried about you. I’m worried about you.

“I believe that you are worried about me, Raeus, but you’re exceptionally compassionate for a Toa, even of water, the other’s are just thieves and murderers. They don’t miss me,” I responded, coldly.

This time, Raeus revealed herself from the water of the ocean, and walked toward me. “It’s true, they’re the ones who told me to come get you. We all miss our leader.”

Again, I couldn’t help but mentally wince at the last part. They called me their leader, and in truth I was, but I had given up the position mentally when I left; I knew before I left I was not coming back. “Well, he’s not here. I killed him myself,” I said coldly.

Raeus gave me an odd look, and then half a smile appeared on her face. I couldn’t help but laugh. I had never met anyone that could make someone like me laugh before. She also made me mentally wince twice. I was letting my guard down around her too much; it wouldn’t happen again.

I chuckled, and then responded, “I really was not in this for the long-term, Raeus. I really was not.”

She gracefully hopped up to where I was standing, and pulled me along near the edge of the water. “I took a great deal of time to find you, oh Leader, and I’m not leaving in vain.” Even if I have to drag you back, Drestix.

The latter part I only picked up by reading her mind. Even so, it was apparent in her eyes how much she really wanted me back. I sighed, and walked toward the mountain trail. “Next time, I won’t stick around long enough for you to find me so easily, you know,” I said mockingly. She just sighed, and twirled gracefully up the path, joining me at the top of the slope. Even from here we could see the city so perfectly.

It was on the next mountain over, but it was immense, and had large walls all around it; but mostly it was just outstandingly beautiful. I cringed at the site. It took almost all of my willpower to walk away from this place with the intention of no return. Did she want me to just become an empty soul? I want so much to prevent myself from becoming hollow, I’m sure I’d even risk my morality on it. Even if I had to become a murderer to stay myself; it was still worth it.

Really well written, Banryx! I like it, plus I finally remember your toas' names. Kudos.

I like it! Though I've already read it. Doesn't it go in epics? I'm the editor/critic. I'm his harshest critic, yet I think it's genius.

Oh yeah, it should go in epics.

Let's continue discussion there.
