User talk:Vorred

Heya Vorred. :D Welcome to Custom Bionicle Wiki. Legofreak2444 02:40, June 9, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, Legofreak! I didn't knew you were here too! Vorred 17:15, June 9, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah. I got one a couple of months ago. :) Legofreak2444 18:39, June 9, 2012 (UTC)

Alright, here's your invitation to join. Feel free to join us! http://images.wikia.com/custombionicle/images/d/d4/VamprahSymbol.JPG  Welcome  to   the   Fezpedia!  http://images.wikia.com/custombionicle/images/5/55/PohatuSymbol.JPG 21:49, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

It's good to see that we have another user that actually wants to edit. It seems like a lot of people only come to make 2-3 edits nowadays. Anyway, I saw on CB's talkpage that you want some attention towards your story. A good way to advertise your story is on user blogs (ex: User blog:Vorred/Story) and you can feel free to add your story to the recent stories page on the front page (Here). I hope you enjoy your time on the wiki.  Shadow master    (Contribs)   23:41, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the invitation!

And Shadowmaster, thanks for your advice with the blogs. When I was active on Wikia 2009/10 I never really used the blogs, but when they actually help that's good. I've also done a whole photostory and try to write an article for each character appearing there. 13:35, September 3, 2012 (UTC)

No, there's not. The club hasn't seen much activity since 2009/2010. Now it's like a memorabilia club of the old members. -- http://images.wikia.com/custombionicle/images/7/7f/TDG1-derp.gif ( Talk ) 05:54, September 5, 2012 (UTC)

Beh. Clubs really aren't popular in the current time. I mean, I have next to no interest in doing anything with the club but let it rust with age. If you want to make blogs with MOCs or something pertaining to it, be my guest.

I'm not against kicking the club back up again. I just don't really see how it could happen. Nowadays, clubs aren't really used for anything. :\

So really, if you have any ideas, hit me. -- http://images.wikia.com/custombionicle/images/7/7f/TDG1-derp.gif ( Talk ) 07:43, September 5, 2012 (UTC)

Spotlight
Hey there Vorred.

I heard you felt that you were struggling to establish yourself on this site, which I thought was a shame as I'm finding myself as something of a fan of your unique photo-comic-story. So, to give you a foothold, I gave you a shout-out in my August blog post. I do monthly blog updates, which have helped me to establish myself and might be an idea you could look into in future. :P

Additionally, I should probably say that I am loving Uprising. It has such a singular, original element yet, at the same time, highlights elements of the BIONICLE saga that fans feel is nostalgic, effectively incorporating one of BIONICLE's most popular stories with a perfectly-executed modern twist. :D
 * Bob The  Doctor  27

No problem at all. :P I'm glad to help and I'm very pleased that you think so highly of my work. :D

Regarding the new installment, I enjoyed it very much! :D I was beginning to wonder if the original team was going to re-unite, and you showed their dilemma effectively with the wide shot of the gate and Brorag's line. :P

Plus I liked how you described the gap between the last time Merall, Dorvan and Brorag were shown. Additionally, Gringat's suspicion of the Toa seems to be an interesting concept and I like the suggestion that the Council do not trust the Toa. It makes them appear controlling and almost villainous, which I think is a very interesting take on the situation. :D

I do, however, have one question, and that is what happened to Brorag's weapons? When I first saw the image I assumed he had lost them while escaping the Undead. Is this assumption correct or is it something that will be answered in a future installment? :P
 * Bob The  Doctor  27

No problem at all, I'm happy to give any kind of feedback. :P If you want, I could look into guest-writing a chapter in the coming months, though I'm going to be a little tied up in the coming months. :S

Well, you don't have to review anything of mine unless you want to, but I'm working on three stories at the moment, all of which are set in the Fractures Universe, an alternate reality in which Makuta Teridax never existed. :P The first once is called Frozen Calling. It's quite a long story about an Av-Matoran trying to solve a murder mystery in Ko-Metru and appears to be my most popular story so far, but it's one of the ten longest pages on the site so I wouldn't encourage launching into a review on that. XD

Alternatively I am working on a story called Over Your Shoulder, where I show the main character of my story, Toa Tollubo (an immoral anti-hero who is barely a good guy), getting brought down from the righteous, noble status of a Toa and reduced to dirt when his true nature is revealed. This one's only about 5 chapters long at the moment and is about 2 chapters away from being complete. I would probably encourage you to review that story, if you still want to, that is. :P

Finally, I'm co-writing a story set in Voya-Nui following a war against the Brotherhood, called Falling in the Black. Strangely, a lot of people are also finding that story to be nostalgic with the Rahkshi and Visorak attacking the Matoran settlement and, personally, I'm actually finding a few similarities between this story and Uprising. :P This one's quite a long story, but, seeing as it is quite similar to your story, you may be interested in reading it for inspiration. :D
 * Bob The  Doctor  27

Well, only if you have time to read them. :P I understand as much as anyone that real life gets in the way of plans. Plus, creative writing should be enjoyed, so don't feel you have to rush with anything. :P

I am indeed the builder of Glon, and I'm very pleased indeed to hear that I've inspired you to build a creation. :D That's very touching, thank you very much!

Regarding the future chapters, my apologies, I must have mis-read your message. I got the impression you were planning on writing a short story in future, and I was offering to perhaps write a chapter for it, but only if you're planning on doing that, of course. :P

Unfortunately, I'm going to be on a Duke of Edinburgh hike from Thursday night until Monday so I'm afraid I won't be able to reply to any messages until Monday, but I hope you have a great weekend and I look forward to that next chapter of Uprising when I get back. :D
 * Bob The  Doctor  27

Vorred, just wanted to tell you I'm really interested in your Uprising comics. Keep up the good work! ;)

Welcome, Vorred!
Hey Vorred! I geuss I'm kinda late, but welcome to CBW! I liked 'Uprising' and I think you make some pretty nice MOCs. But also, you know your main characters are basically Toa Nuva Revamps? Also, ScottriiToaOfAir0157, AKA Scottrii, is making a comic about his story, so how did you make your comics?

Keelara MOC Contest
Greetings, Vorred. I happened to notice some of your MoCs in the recently uploaded images, as well as on your newest blog post, and was quite impressed; so much, in fact, that I thought I'd give you a personal invitation to enter the Keelara MOC Contest. You don't have to, of course, but I'd certainly be happy if you'd consider it. ;-) Toa  Roden   22:14, November 1, 2012 (UTC)

Rising Shadow Contest
Hey Vorred, I've seen that you are great in making MOCs. So a question, do you want to join in my new contest about Teridax? Please enter, if you're interested.

Toa Kolhie (talk) 17:46, November 9, 2012 (UTC)

Question from K..K...Kolhieee!
Here I am, again, to ask you if you want to join in a contest of me. Well maybe you have some spare pieces to build a matoran for this unending contest. Hope you will enter.

The Shadow Rises (talk) 16:13, December 3, 2012 (UTC)

I just want to say, I came across a few of your mocs in the images. You are brilliant at making them, better than I'll ever be. Keep on making :D Flame of Fire 20:26, December 15, 2012 (UTC)

Important question regarding Matoran Mismisadventures!
Vorred,  I have an important question. Next friday there will be a chat on my wiki (Matoran Mismisadventures Wiki) with all the current cast and crew of the series. Now comes the question: What hour would be best for you, since we are all scattered across time zones. I live in England. So please respond quickly and I hope you can join the chat.

Kolhie In The House (talk) 19:44, December 16, 2012 (UTC)

chat on MMW
Hey Vorred it's a pity you can't join on friday, but we can have a chat on saturday(only you and me). Just mail me back with the time that is best for you.

Kolhie In The House (talk) 18:17, December 18, 2012 (UTC)

Saturday Chat on MMW
Vorred, please join the chat tomorrow December 22, 2012. It will be around 7:00 pm in England, 2:00 pm in America and 5:00 am in Australia. Let me know on my talk page if you can join the chat.

Kolhie In The House (talk) 17:15, December 21, 2012 (UTC)

Hey
Hey remember that female character of yours that you wanted in my project? Well, I can tell you she is gonna have BIG role.

Re:Chat
Ah it's okay Vorred. The only one that came was Chicken Bond and we chated a bit so you didn't actually mis much;)

14:26, January 3, 2013 (UTC)

Vastara
YOu said that you havent made any story for her, I thought that her story will be created through out the series. Infact, she will be one of the main characters in the first part of the series.

You can also help write her story, but just remember this, she will have a key connection with a canon character known as "Annona"

Keelara MOC Contest
Hey, just thought I'd drop you a line concerning the Keelara MOC Contest, the entry deadline of which is rapidly approaching (February 1st, to be exact, although it may be extended). I assume you still plan on entering? Or perhaps you don't? Either way, please let me know.

Thanks in advance, Toa  Roden   01:18, January 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * Sounds good. ;-) Toa  Roden   20:26, January 9, 2013 (UTC)

Hey, I know you!
Hey there Vorred, it's Hafu from the Chronist and Snaggletooth from MOCPages! I don't want you to look at my stuff here (as I'm pretty inactive), I just wanted to say hello ;-)

Aljarreau (talk) 19:52, January 20, 2013 (UTC)

Are you too participating in the Keelara contest? :D

Aljarreau (talk) 16:25, January 21, 2013 (UTC)

I indeed am. Lotta do besides, too. D: School work and such.

Aljarreau (talk) 20:36, January 21, 2013 (UTC)

You saw the February BCBS? :O This is gonna be a though one.

BTW, I got 200 gramms of Slizer, old BIONICLE, Knights Kingdom and newer BIONICLE parts in a second-hand-LEGO shop in Berlin - I'm so happy :D

Aljarreau (talk) 11:25, February 2, 2013 (UTC)

Rare Kanohi, I got none. But I got some Pohatu Mata bits (FOUR feet enhancements - in TAN!), Pohatu Mata torso, TEAL Disk Launcher and TEAL Disk, purple Slizer foot (my first ever purple piece :O), some dark blue and dark green Vahki and Metru limbs (had almost no parts in those colours until now), light blue Slizer head, GUNMETAL GREY RoboRider head (so happy :D) and many other things which would be too long to list here :-) Next up is the Furno bike :D Orange FTW!

Bout the BCBS: Well, I just got back from holiday, where I could not build, and the next week plus two days, I'll have damn bloody school exchange, so if I'm lucky, I'll be able to assemble sorta entry tomorrow, to photograph it, and to post it. So in the very unlikely event that I'll entry, it'll probably be some shit nobody will look at. Boo hoo.

Aljarreau (talk) 17:32, February 9, 2013 (UTC)

Just returned from another rampage at the same second-hand-shop, you wanna know what I got? ;-)

-Some purple and yellow hand pieces, lots and lots of TECHNIC orange and white stuff, and, most important:

-ONE GREEN KANOHI MIRU; TWO BROWN KAKAMA; TWO BLACK PAKARI NUVA; ONE BLUE KAUKAU NUVA; ONE ORANGE NOBLE MATATU!

I'm so happy. :D Unfortunately, no grey noble Komau, I'd have liked to build your self-MOC...

BTW, what's up with the MOC you posted for BCBS March? o_O Seems quite unfinished to me.

No hate, no rage.

Aljarreau (talk) 16:02, March 14, 2013 (UTC)

Yep, will use the Pakari Nuva and the Matatu for my Self-MOCs :D :D. Ah, OK, I understand. Please ignorate the message I left on your deviantArt page, it just asked exactly the same as here.

Aljarreau (talk) 20:09, March 14, 2013 (UTC)

You may think I'm having a Kanohi overkill right now, but I went to the second-hand shop once again... I got two Ruru Hordika, two lime green noble Mahiki, another green Miru and a Garai (absolutely diggin the Garai, so awesome. This mask almost screams for greebles! :D). Those were the last masks from this shop xD Well, there still are two other Kanohi (and the guy said they're going to have a BIONICLE shipment in a few days :D), and these are the silver Miru (aka Rua, Mask of Water Breathing, X-Ray Vision and Levitation), and the 2004 Ultimate Dume Kraahkan, the latter being EXTREMELY rare. Both costed five bucks each, and I had not enough money. :-( I SO hope the Kraahkan will still be available next month... And the silver Miru would be quite nice, too.

Unfortunately, still no grey noble Komau. ;-( But still, the Kanohi I got are most awesome! :D

Aljarreau (talk) 18:13, March 21, 2013 (UTC)

Re:Deadline
Take as much time as you need; I'll gladly wait until you've submitted your MOC before I close the entry period. Toa  Roden   23:21, February 10, 2013 (UTC)

Hey Vorred. :P Well, I'm not too sure. :/ I wanted to link the article on my userpage but it came up with a red link. I checked the Uprising page and his was the only one with a red link. I assumed you'd just forgotten to write it and did it myself using the Merall and Dorvan pages as templates out of goodwill. :P Whether or not it was deleted I don't know. I don't think that I've been on the page before and I haven't noticed a deletion. :/ I'll check the Deletion Log tonight. :P

Edit: Yeah, I've checked the deletion log and there's no record of the Brorag page being deleted. My best guess is that you wrote the page, clicked edit and the server messed up and didn't actually post it. It happens quite a lot and it's quite annoying when you've made a large edit. :( Either way, if you made a page for one of the other characters from the Farside Village I could use their history as a template and make the pages for some of them. :P I've just finished my practice exams so I'm coming back in full swing. :P

Nah, there's no need to mention me on the page. :P Creations are generally credited to the person who made them, though editing pages and keeping other peoples' pages up to date with their respective stories is also encouraged. I'm just here to help. :P

Why thank you, I'm glad you read my page. :D I also didn't realize that Merall was female until recently and, since then, I'm becoming quite fond of her too. :D I was expecting that you would use lots of tan armor from the Vorox set but I was pleasantly surprised to see that you went with the grey instead. It's a nice color to go with female characters, I find. :P

Wow! That is extremely kind of you. :D I'm deeply touched by this.

Well, I'm quite fond of Glonor, an Av-Matoran creation of mine with similarities to Sherlock Holmes. He is a sort of detective character and he would be quite easy to build. However, if you're more interested in a Matoran who isn't an Av-Matoran, then I have an aggressive Ce-Matoran named Lothorna or a Po-Matoran scientist named Danza. Alternatively, I have several Matoran featured in Falling in the Black (gallery here) that you might be interested in using. :P

I've got a link to my Saga Guide, which has most of my Matoran characters, here if those ones do not work well. :P

Again, thank you very much, this is a very kind offer and I will not forget this gesture of goodwill. :D

That is indeed very kind of you. :D I look forward to Patriots with much anticipation and, as always, you'll have my full support. :D

No more Confusion xD
OK, I finally got it xD. Yeah, I'm really really lucky, I gotta say... The masks (especially the 2001-03 ones, I had no mask from that period) are extremely useful and quite scarce. I almost laughed out loud when the shop guy said the price for the orange Noble Matatu (very rare): "Really expensive, this one. 40 cents." XDDDD Man, this dude doesn't know WHAT he is trading there and how much it would be worth to me... Yep, the Ultimate Dume Kraahkan is worth 11,25 dollars on Timeless Toy Bricks (not even listed on Bricklink). Silver Miru is also very rare. Oh, I forgot: there also was an Arthron, (Mask of Sonar, Jaller Mahri's mask), but as I'm not quite a fan of the dark red-orange color scheme, I didn't buy it.

What, bad news bout your comic? D-: Please don't say you're cancelling it D-:

Remember tomorrow evening (Saturday the 23rd March, from 20h00 to 22h00) is the chat event at "Der Chronist"! ;D

Aljarreau (talk) 09:22, March 22, 2013 (UTC)

Sure, I'd be happy to do that. :D Am I to assume that the Farside Village is in the Northern Continent or something then or should I just be vague about that and just say things like "she then left Stelt and moved to the Farside Village?" :P

Edit: I was just looking over Uprising: Chapter 6 and noticed that there was a redlink on the page. I checked again and it would appear that  File:Page_y10.jpg  is non-existent. Is there a page missing?

Oops. XD I've just changed that now. I think it's a very interesting idea to have gender switching between elements. One of the reasons why I liked Uprising so much was because it had an abundance of female characters. Generally, people tend to have male-dominated BIONICLE collections and having too many male characters can rob a story of diversity. You've done a good job to manage so many female characters. :D

Okey dokie. :P I saw it and the page and just wondered if there was another pair of panels that had missed the upload. :P

Well, I meant with the gender-bending mostly. But until recently I'd assumed Jacobi was female. Plus I was counting Vastara and Falecía (in addition to Tilira, who I assumed was female). :P Plus the fact that there was so much gender switching led me to believe that any of the characters could be female. For a while I was quite confused as to what Range's gender was. :P

I can completely understand that. The first contest I ever held here was intended as a sign-up thing for a Glatorian and you wouldn't believe how many people entered with actual sets that they'd just taken the armor off and stuck weapons on. XD In my storyline, there are currently only 8 Toa in the Matoran Universe (the rest either died in a universe-wide war or are locked out on Bara Magna). I held one character contest for people to describe to me a minor character who could appear in one scene and ended up getting 5 people wanting me to use their best Toa creations. XD

Absolutely no problem. :D I've also noticed that you've included Glonor in the Full Cast Image. :D Thank you very much. If either of them become a burden then I have no problem with you killing either of them off. My story takes place in a different reality anyway. :P

Quick question though, is the Farside Village on Balfe Nui? :P

Ah, that's my mistake. I meant in your story in general. :P I do like your new Merall design, I must say. :D It certainly is feminine and custom but, at the same time, it's very refreshing to see that you haven't given her a chest like a lot of other MOCists would have. I'm guilty in a number of cases of making females overly-feminine, but I do try to balance it out with regularly proportioned females. :P

I'm perfectly fine with that. I'm just happy that you were able to include them at all. :D It is a very kind gesture.

For falling for my prank...
Here you go!

By the way, nice MOCs  Pepsi Cola99  00:31, April 10, 2013 (UTC)

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it :D Yes, that's exactly what I did, though I'm a little disappointed that I didn't think to actually put the guy she's firing the water blast at on the other side of the stream. XD

I've been working on a couple of special effects, particularly for Toa Jekkai, though I'm not sure how I'm going to show Merra's use of a Kanohi Kualsi effectively, but I'll deal with that when I come to it. :P

I did something similar with this:

So far, I don't have a lot of action aside from those two images, but I've nearly got a complete script done, and then I can spend the summer making the comic in the sunshine. :D

I'm very pleased to see that you've been checking up on my activity. :P I'm trying to get in as much character depth as I can and it's really panning out into an excellent story. And I owe the entire thing to you. :D When I make the page there's going to be a massive banner at the top crediting you for inspiring me to make the comic. :D

I know :D I was shocked when I saw it on my computer for the first time. :D It's far more dramatic that what I'd expected it to be. But, so far, the only effect I know how to do is throw rocks at it. XD I've written a short story as an introduction to the story and have a few other water-themes images that you might be interested in. None of them are nearly as good, but I hope I can at least submit the one of Jekkai jumping off the rock into the Featured Image spotlight next month. :D

I'm glad you're following the updates. :D I try to add pictures the day that I take them and I have the perfect back yard for the calm Matoran community that is in Zero Hour.

XD Well, I don't have a banner for the story yet but Carnac is one of the main characters and he shares the same Kanohi as Vorred. :P I'd actually planned that right from the start as a hidden reference to your story. :D

Glad you like them. :) Jekkai actually broke away from that plant he was holding onto and got carried down the current. :S He fell down the waterfall and I had to fish him out, which wasn't pleasant at all. XD I've actually added that into Zero Hour. He goes through many challenges to collect Kanohi like the Toa Mata in his training and, at one point, he claims he fell down a waterfall in order to get one Kanohi. :P

Yep, Carnac's been around since 2011. :P I've only recently decided what to do with him and I'm going to give him a big role in Judgement Day. :P

Anyway, I have to go now. I have a driving lesson. :/ But I'll be back again in an hour. :P I'll talk to you some other time. :D Keep up the awesome work by friend :D

Greetings, Vorred. Just thought I'd inquire as to how your Keelara MOC Contest entry is coming along, and if you still plan on entering, as I'm trying to start winding down the contest.

Matoro58: Message usage
Hey Vorred, I'm Matoro58. I here to complain because you wrote in one of my messages to BobTheDocter27. It's like spam what you did. Not that I'm complaining or stuff.

MATORO58

OK, I saw this in my Recent Changes and I think I can provide some explanation.

On the 10th April, Matoro58 wrote a message on my page with a brand new heading: RE: Pouks story. Several hours later, you made this edit. You didn't do anything wrong. You just wrote under Matoro58's heading, and I think that's why he is annoyed. Really, this should not be a problem and I do not know why Matoro58 has made an issue out of it.

Sorry if this inconvenienced you and I hope that this doesn't create a bad impression of Matoro58. :/

Yeah, I completely understand. I think he's just misunderstanding the correct use of headings. His complaint is unreasonable. Everyone has a right to write on a talk page. If a message goes into someone else's heading then there is no need to accuse them of spamming. You didn't do anything wrong and it was unfair that you got spoken to like that. On Matoro58's behalf, I apologise. :/ He's a nice guy really, but this is perhaps not his best moment. I think this was just an impulsive action. Clearly he checked the message again and misread something. Ah well, that's an interesting image of Aescela. :P I'd never thought of her like that before. It makes me want to build her a friend to keep her company. :D

Yeah, sorry that such a mess came out of it. :( Anyway, I think I might just take you up on that offer. :D They could be long distance pen-pals. XD

Awesome. :D This could be a fun little project to start. :) I'll see what I can build tomorrow.

Add jcomix98 on Skype and I'll explain more into detail later today when I get home from school. Cheers. &mdash; I'm a  Koala  13:24, May 16, 2013 (UTC)

XD And I can't stop smiling at the same time. :D I've done something similar with a character comically falling into a river in the background of a shot. :P Unfortunately I'm going to redo some of the scene it's in and this photo has a prop in the background that I need to edit out of the frame somehow. :P

Anyway, Aescela's friend will be in my 3rd My MOCs Blog. It's going to be a huge blog because it'll have all my Zero Hour characters, Caliga, Inrye's Revamp and my final revamp of Jollun. :P Unfortunately, I don't own any brown/gold Pakaris (I have a brown Pakari Nuva though) so I can't take a picture of them both together. :P

Additionally, regarding your pages, I'm a little confused about the elements of various different characters of yours when I'm making pages for Toa such as Solunus, Andron and Falecía. I'm not sure what to put for Gringat, Solace, Tilira, Gesikk or Vastara as I don't know anything about their backstories. :S But I'll be more than happy to resume working on the others now that I've finished Over Your Shoulder. :P

I'm glad you like them, but I'm really not too happy with the way they turned out. :P I don't think I made the movement of their heads too clear and I'm very pleased that you noticed it in spite of how awkward the angle is. I'll retake them both, along with a couple of other snippets. :P I took the first one by pressing the button on my camera then dropping Jekkai into the water. As you can imagine, it did take quite a few tries. Sometimes the picture caught him in mid-air, other times he landed too quick. When I was happy with the shot of him splashing, I decided to take another two that I was happy with then tied a piece of string to him and looped it around a bush further up the stream, so he was being held in place. :P

Well, when I write lines for Zero Hour, I feel like the story has a Shakespearean vibe. So I've decided to give it a Shakespearean form. :P There're be five different Acts and a short Epilogue, along with a handful of Shakespeare's many funny one-liners. XD

Very nice, I'll get round to making a fresh batch of pages then. :D Also, Solunus' Kanohi, is that a Golden Mask with 6 different Mask Powers or just a gold Kanohi that he thought looked nice. :P

Hmm, I have most of the Misprinted Rurus but the brown and blue ones are the two that I don't have. :( Ah well, I'll just paint a spare Noble Ruru. :P

Yeah, I don't like the whole Red Star thing. :P BIONICLE was a gritty, serious story for many years and it's like Greg's just decided to say "oh, it wasn't real, they're not actually dead." I mention it sometimes on my pages if the character died and their body wasn't destroyed but I don't like it at all, so I understand. :P

Wow. O.o I don't have anywhere near that many photos of Zero Hour taken yet, though I think I'm planning a story of a similar length. XD Ah well, I'm still going through scripting everything but I'll get on track soon. :P

Yeah, I think he's made the Red Star too convenient and co-incidental. It's just there to help the good guys without a clear explanation. Plus it detracts from the risk of our favorite characters being killed. I would've liked the Great Beings to be inside it, and the Great Beings are the ones who decide which Matoran become Toa. That's what I always thought caused the lightning to come out of it. :P

Plus, on a similar note, I don't like how Greg brought Tuyet back. :P She was mentioned in Into The Darkness, then Greg decided he wanted to write more so wrote The Many Deaths of Toa Tuyet, then he brought her back to life and used that terrible 'she's from an alternate universe' excuse. :P

For Zero Hour, my planned release date for the first act should be sometime in Mid-July, then I'll probably just release an act whenever it's ready after that. :P It may become monthly, but I can see myself falling into a rhythm once I get going. :P

Oh dear... where to begin in deciphering that! XD

Firstly, I must applaud you on your efforts to create that image. It's extremely well made and very detailed indeed. :D I don't think I'll be able to replicate anything as artistically pleasing as that, but I'll give it a go. :P

But it may take me a while to make. :S Just know that I have finished translating it and I will make a response as soon as I can. :P

RE: Wikicons!
Yep! You're allowed to have it since you meet the criteria. In fact, you can add the "Featured" one to your articles that were featured too. For your userpage:  and for your featured articles:. :) -- [ http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110823111447/custombionicle/images/4/43/TDG.gif] ( Talk ) 08:24, June 18, 2013 (UTC)

Very true but the image still looks very professional. :D

I'll try my best to make a response tonight but I've got a busy day full of preparing for my driving test today and I have a late driving lesson so I may not be able to start it for a while. :S But, ah well, I've written down the translation so I won't forget. :P

Self-MOC
Hey Vorred,

Your Self-MOC is nearly completed now (misses his forearms, left lower leg and stuff at his back), but I will not be able to post it soon, as my camera broke after six years of service (R.I.P. >:-. I probably will get a new camera on my birthday (check out my Chronist page to find out :P ) and will be getting home from vacation in August, so expect your Self-MOC to be finally posted in mid-August, along with 15 other MOCs :D

I also project to include in my storyline at some point. Would you allow me? :D

--Aljarreau 16:06, June 20, 2013 (UTC)

It'll be a little appearance, some kinda cameo, if you know what I mean. And the greebleZ are quite awesome (I even included tan Battle Droid heads)

Here's a hint:

<p class="MsoNormal"> "Vorred is a sailor without ship, a captain without crew. Though some historians set Vorred apart as hero or villain, he is, as he claims himself, not a real hero, nor a villain. He sometimes is tasked with going on an expedition to find some artefact, or to locate some ancient temple. He is a fortune hunter who travels from place to place, looking for quests."

<p class="MsoNormal"> Well, you yourself said Vorred wasn't a real Toa (no Element) ... :P

<p class="MsoNormal">--Aljarreau 08:02, June 21, 2013 (UTC)

<p class="MsoNormal">It's written in your Page you're a Toa ;)

<p class="MsoNormal">No, he won't be a pirate xD

<p class="MsoNormal">--Aljarreau 14:26, June 21, 2013 (UTC)

Okey dokie, before I prepare Chorrum's response, I just wanted to check that I got the correct translation. :P I've underlined words that I'm not sure about.

"Dear Chorrum. I saw all those nice pictures you have of yourself. I'm still amazing that you're a male Ga-Matoran... but well, it seems our genders are different from the others. What about your village? Have you found somebody there? And I saw that you had a prothesis . Are those comfortable and cheap? Please tell me, I can't wait to finally go on a mission with Theran. Come on, give me answers as soon as possible, I can't wait to hear from you again. Love, your"

- Aescela.

That's my translation of it. There's just one word that I struggled with. I translated it to "prothesis, which I'm guessing is something to do with his prosthetic limb? :P

Once I know I'll be able to get to work on Chorrum's response, and I'll provide a translation underneath. :P

Patriots
NIce job with the Prolouge, man!

 Ace  the   Master  15:03, June 30, 2013 (UTC)

Chorrum aplogises for the delay. The Ice Bat he strapped his letter to got distracted by the smell of Fried Ruki while flying over the Southern Continent.



Thank you for showing me how to download the Mata Nui font. :D That will be an extremely useful asset for me to use in future. :D I have a translated version of the message in case you need it. I'll put it in a Spoiler template below. :P

Enjoy. :D And know that Chorrum's Ice Bat ate so much Fried Ruki that he never wants to eat it again and will not get distracted in future. XD

... Oops. Wow, we need to fire the Ice Bat who this. It looks like he lost half of it on the way. XD

Oooh, I didn't know that you were planning on having a tie-in event with the letters and your story. :D I’ll take better care when writing future ones. XD

Oh, no, it's fine. Take your time with it. :P After all, this is a fun exercise activity and it's great for writing in role and helping us expand our characters. :P Take all the time you need. It took me a week to make the first one. XD

Your comics
I've just finished reading through your comics, Uprising and what you've made of Patriots so far. I must say that I'm a fan and really enjoy your comics. You've got a great combination of BIONICLE and the undead (which, although I haven't seen much in fanon, it seems that I've seen a tonne of it in other forms of media nowadays). I'm looking forward to more of your comics! :D

-- Rando Master07

That's quite interesting. The name "Forgotten Warriors" really gives them some kind of meaning, and also reminds me a little of Game of Thrones, with the whole setting-fire-to-their-bodies thing.

--- Rando Master07

Hej Vorred, you really ARE an ARTIST! I love that story, tha setting and I can appreciate how much work you must have put into making these pictures. Änki66 (talk) 18:58, July 4, 2013 (UTC)

Hey there. :D

Indeed, after reading the latest installment late last night I realised that I had forgotten about my promise to create those pages after completing Over Your Shoulder, which only needs slight tweaking now. :P

I will need to edit Andron's page a little because I was very tired when I wrote it and there's a lot of mindless repetition, particularly of "under unclear circumstances" and such. But I'm very pleased that you liked the canon element. It just came to me while I was writing it. :D

I'm also pleased that you liked my Mask of Rahi Control idea. :P I only just found out that Pirai is a creation of Chronos Omega's, but I personally feel that a canon Kanohi was more befitting than his Kanohi Reko. Do you think I should change him from a Toa of Fire to a Toa of Iron, as per his creator's desire? :P

As for my theory:

Anyway, Zero Hour now has a complete first draft, though it's only a basic outline. Full-scale filming will commence soon as my various scripts begin to take form and I anticipate an August release. :D

Advice Request
Hey Vorred. Do you have any advice on how to get word out about a story? Prepare to be Chalked... 33 times! (talk) 18:58, July 10, 2013 (UTC)

Okey doke. I'll change that tonight. :P I'll work on Solunis' page as well and I plan on sinking my teeth into Vastara's page, though I do need an early night at some point as I have work in the morning. :P

Oh, what I meant with that was the Kanohi Tilira. I was drawing a connection between Vorred's color change and the silver Kanohi. :P Hmm, you do have a large cast and it is hard to tell, but the three I pick are: Nuva, Vorred and one of the side Toa. :P On second thought, the Farside Toa probably won't as they were all created as a team (unless of course they all met by coincidence). Solunus could be a worthy candidate as far as I can see, but, seeing as you pointed out that Vorred is not a Toa (which I didn't know until now and made my eyes pop out of my skull XD) Additionally, the female Toa from the Prologue may be another candidate in my head. My guess is: Nuva, the warrior in the Kanohi, and Vastara. I know I'll probably be wrong, but it would be nice to see one of them being female. :P

I don't know why, but I've really developed a soft spot for Merall, Brorag and Range today so I'm over the moon to hear that you'll be expanding some of them soon. :D

Thank you. :) Zero Hour now has a definite shape but I do feel it is very reminiscent of Uprising. Still, I'm dedicating it to you. :P

Also, on a side note, I happen to have a blue Hau Nuva in my Kanohi stocks. As Range is one of my favorite characters, I was wondering if you'd be open to having me create a BIONICLE Stars form for him, or even a revamp in my next New MOCs blog. :P

Wow... it's a good thing that you let me build the Stars version because I literally just finished Range Stars. XD Here are some pictures:

I'm very sorry about the poor quality. Normally I have a digital camera and a small studio to take photographs in. However, my camera has broken and my mother has taken the family camera on holiday with her. Plus it's 1am here in Scotland so I couldn't get any lighting other than my bedside lamp. I will upload proper photographs using my father's camera later today, when I get back from my glamorous job as a waitor in a garden center, but I just wanted to show you what I've been working on. :P He even has a yellow heartlight to match his yellow brain-piece. My Toa Revamp of him will probably be more extensive and will have this building system, but in silver, light blue and "Mata" blue. :P

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to do any further editing tonight as my girlfriend had a bit of a crisis after getting back from her first day of work, (she's working in a children's amusement park and hated her first day :/ ) but I will do some more work on that front tomorrow. :P

Yes, I've always felt a spot of sympathy for the non-mainstream characters. :P In hindsight, many fans loved Nuju in spite of his lack of screen time because he was a Toa of Ice and the death of Matoro was so iconic because Greg exploited how the fans have such sympathy for the lesser-seen Ice characters.

It's not often that people let me take some creative control over their characters. :P My own cast of creations is somewhat limited to the events of the Fractures Universe, so it's nice to be able to add things to pages, like Virtha's role in the Metru-Nui Civil War, and Andron's inclusion in "Prototype"'s Toa Team. :D

I will take that comment about the theories as a challenge. XD It's good to know that I'm getting closer but you really have set this out well. :P There are so many possibilities that I don't know which ones to pick. XD

I'm glad you like the pictures. :D unfortunately, my father uses his camera for stargazing and he's locked it onto this weird setting where it is really zoomed out. I cannot take pictures close-up, but I will ask him to help me make it work. Failing that, I have a very old digital camera still kicking around in my closet. :P

Well, I'll probably make him light blue, Mata blue, and silver as silver is the only Range-color that has Inika limb pieces for the lower legs. :P I don't think the creation will use any painted pieces

Glad to hear that you have a new surprise planned. :P After visiting your MOCpages account, however, and realising that Tilira is also the name of a MOC of yours, I think I should change my vote. XD I just wanted to drop a quick message to say that your creations are some of the best I have ever seen. :D I absolutely loved the Cold Throne creation and your Warriors are amazing. :D

Hmm, very true but, in my defense, I only learnt that the Mask of Changing had been named yesterday when I made the page from a redlink. :P It'll still be something of a surprise for many other readers, I hope.

That is very true, and the fact that I don't see a mention of Merall there worries me too... XD

Anyway, I'll start deciphering that message tomorrow. Unfortunately, I'm doing another late shift on Saturday so I won't be active all day. I will respond soon at some point later in the week. :P

Hey Vorred. Head on over to my Toa Page and check out what I have to say about you. Just click on my signature and scroll down to the "MOC-ists I Think Are Cool" section.ToaOfDubstep680 (talk) 19:50, July 20, 2013 (UTC)

Indeed we do. http://widget00.mibbit.com/?settings=d7c4297f8766fd84e6e6b3ce5c0fbc58&server=irc.mibbit.net&channel=%23Wikimetruth :P http://images.wikia.com/custombionicle/images/d/d4/VamprahSymbol.JPG  Welcome  to   the   Fezpedia!  http://images.wikia.com/custombionicle/images/5/55/PohatuSymbol.JPG 12:47, July 22, 2013 (UTC)

Thank you, I'm glad that you like the page. :) I read over it after reading your message and, although there are a few grammatical errors on my part, I'm pleased with how it turned out, especially the parts of Uprising that were unseen. If you remember back when Uprising was being published, you may recall that I offered to write a short story about what happened to the other Toa while Theran and Range were at the Farside Village. Well, I'd still be open towards doing that, including the Toa Kaita formation between Dorvan, Brorag and Merall of course. :)

I saw what ToaOfDubstep680 said about you and BobtheDoctor27, so I just want to let you know that you and BobtheDoctor27 are awesome, and that you you don't need to listen to any mean or offensive things that user said about you.

Can't wait for Chapter 4!!

Matoro58 (Just search User talk:Matoro58 to reply)

You're welcome :)

Matoro58

Oooh, good idea. :D I'll also give a shout out for your contest in my next blog. I think people will have forgotten by this point, which is very unfortunate. :/ I'd suggest posting a comment on your feedback blog about it with the next chapter. That's a very popular blog and it's a guarantee that people will see it. :P

I'll follow those guidelines and I won't introduce any new characters. You raised some good points there that I would have forgotten about otherwise. :P

Additionally, I'm giving Chorrum a revamp and will get to writing his response to Aescela's letter in the near future.

Yes, I just got home and was really surprised to see how many people have shown an interest in the contest. What a great turn-out. :D

Additionally, I loved Chapter 4. :D I had everything from a cool action scene to deep conversations and nice setting. :D I'll post a full comment on your blog, but I want to wait a while. I feel that my long comments might scare people away and discourage them from commenting. So I won't comment for a few days just to see if it makes a difference. :P

Your page
I moved your Kanohi Tilira page to just Tilira--the reason being that the word 'Kanohi' is not used in page titles for masks. Just a heads up. - Rando Master07

Oh, my mistake then. Sorry. :P - Rando Master07

I've already started writing my entry. XD

Plus Chorrum is actually turning out into a pretty cool revamp. :D I've turned his leg into a stump and changed his hands to the Toa Mata claws, but I think I've added lots of original twists to the creation.

Oh, my entry should be ready by the end of the summer at the latest. :P I want to implement some original BIONICLE writing styles from the earlier books, but I will write to the best of my ability without going into my usual gritty detail. :P Plus I'd be happy to write more than one short story (though it's probably not a good idea to enter them all into the contest).

As for Chorrum, he's developing very nicely. :D I'll take a picture of him tomorrow for you to see. :P I'm also building a tweaked version of the Exo-Toa armor for Zero Hour and I'm thinking of maybe having him be the creator of it an even use it to walk around in. :P Because of his hand design he can no longer hold anything (Mata claws) so his walking stick is pretty much obsolete. But he should turn out well. :P

I'm very pleased that you like the opening of Night of Long Knives. :D I promised to do something like this for you back when you first released Uprising, so I'd be more than happy to release a second story but not enter it into the contest. :P

There are a number of key things that I want to include in the story: dialogue between the Toa, the moral rights and wrongs of killing an Undead opponent, and the theme of nature. Nineteenth century writer Thomas Hardy was known to have described the countryside setting in his books as being this all-consuming, massive expanse of raw wilderness, and I want to convey that because the fact that your comics are shot outdoors is a significant factor in why they're so popular; so I definitly want to keep that element. :P

As for Brorag's line, that one actually just came to me while I was writing. I thought it felt familiar at the time, but I think it served its purpose well.

Furthermore, I had a question about the Undead. In one of the later chapters (After Dorvan and Merall get out of the lake), I'm going to have them get attacked again. However, so it's not just the Farside Toa, I wanted to perhaps include an Undead Matoran. Now, thus far, I've always thought it peculiar how we've only seen Undead Toa. Is there a reason why Undead Matoran cannot exist or am I OK to go through with this? :P

As for Chorrum, I will take more photos of him tomorrow but, you are right, he cannot walk alone. Thus, I'm working with a couple of TECHNIC pieces to make him a wheelchair. :D

Glad you like the wheelchair idea. :D This Undead Virus is quite fascinating indeed, but, I must ask, does a subject have to be dead to contract it or is it contagious to the living as well? I'm planning a short dialogue between Chaeus and Brorag where Chaeus is infected with the virus and Brorag tries to nurse him back to health (though he eventually has to flee and leave him for dead).

As for the continuation of Night of the Long Knives, it's an extremely fun project and I'm starting right now. :P I'm reading a fantasy novel at the moment for inspiration, but I've already written out a full A4 page of ideas and quotes and plot points. :P

Additionally, I created a Toa Team template at the bottom of each of the Farside Toa's pages. I'd be happy to do one for the Patriots too, and maybe even one dedicated to the villagers of the Farside Village. :D

Awesome. :D I'll be sure to try and hint towards that when Merall and Dorvan encounter him. :P Currently, I plan on making it a Ta-Matoran with a Metru build and a painted red Huna, who I will post a picture of to maybe use as the banner of the story. :P Something like this comes to mind when I think of the logo. I know it may be asking a bit much, but could you possibly do something similar as a banner for my story? It doesn't have to be too fancy, but it'd be better than the No Image sign I have there at the moment. :/

Yes, I have a lot planned for it, including some small snippets of quotes and ideas that I cut out of Falling in the Black. :P

Okey doke, I'll work on that tonight. :D

Before I go, however, I just wanted to tell you that I re-read Uprising last night and, for some reason, I found myself in hysterics over the first panel of this. Taken out of context, it seems pretty funny. Maybe it could be something funny to include in your next blog update? :P

Anyway, I'll continue to work on your pages while you're gone. Have a great holiday, and know that Chorrum's next letter will come soon. He's just struggling to put it in the mail box. :P

I'll have a word with the other staff and get back to you. I definitely approve; it's a good idea. Bhttp://images.wikia.com/custombionicle/images/d/d4/VamprahSymbol.JPG  Welcome  to   the   Fezpedia!  http://images.wikia.com/custombionicle/images/5/55/PohatuSymbol.JPG 21:49, July 31, 2013 (UTC)



Chorrum finally made it to his mail box. :3

Once again, a translation is in the spoiler box beneath. :P Enjoy!

Story
So, I've chosen the title for my story for your story contest... It's called "Swank will have a Fall"

--Aljarreau 19:07, August 3, 2013 (UTC)

Awesome. :D Also, I posted the second chapter of Night of the Long Knives, which focuses on Brorag and Chaeus' adventure together. :P

Ah, okey doke. :P I see it on the page.

Good choice. :P I'll be looking out for any stories that are entered into the contest, just out of curiosity. :P

I've been bombarded with messages to answer to since I logged on and I've saved the next chapter of Patriots till the end because I know I will enjoy it. :D I'm about to start reading it after I finish the message then I'll give you another review in a few days, to encourage others to voice their thoughts too. :P

Edit after reading Chapter 5: WOW! I did not see that coming! XD

Yes! XD I don't mind, though. :P

You can copy and paste chunks out of the original page if you want. :P There's a lot of rambling in it so I imagine that large chunks will be re-written to suit your story. If you want I'll make the page for you as well. :P

As for the Bohrok, I actually didn't spot that on the first read-through, but I saw it in the Feedback Blog and was very impressed with the connection that Jahoan17 between the Bohrok and Xafri. :P By the way, I'm thinking of writing her page soon and was wondering, was she a Toa of Plasma? :P

Yeah... about that photo. XD

Back in the days when I first started MOC-making I didn't know how to get camera pictures onto a computer :P The only way that I could think of was literally using the webcam function on my computer. XD I took a picture with that camera. It's quite likely that the original Glonor picture was taken like that. :P I think I'll retake that original picture soon with my more professional background and photography equipment in future. :P

We'll collaborate on Glonor's page as I'm not sure what his role is on Balfe-Nui, though I believe that may well have something to do with one of the stories in your writing contest. :P Might we see him come back as an Undead Warrior? In stabbing him, Theran didn't really make much of a difference. It could be an interesting spin-off. XD

Anyway, I look forward to seeing your story develop. I'll work on updating the pages of the Farside Toa over the next week to get them all up to the standard of Brorag and Merall's pages. They're the two that are in the best condition, I think. :P

Done
Vorred

Oh, awesome. :D I can't wait to see Glonor's role evolve in future, and I'm glad that his role continues even after death. :D

Ah, I usually put the "-" between all islands, like "Metru-Nui" and "Mata-Nui." It's a force of habit. I don't know why I do it. I just grew up thinking that was the right way. :S

Turning Tides
I just published my entry for your Writing Contest, Turning Tides. It is complete.

Contest
I've finally figured pt what I'm doing for my contest entry, though I heed some clarification on some things you left put of your articles. My entry will be a Transformers: Exodus style serial, expanding on the Legend on which your stories are based. However, their are a few things I want to clarify before I start: Thanks in advance! --  DeltaStriker   16:13, August 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * Have the other two Toa been named, and are they male or female?
 * Have you decided what the power of the third Toa was?
 * Nuva is the Toa of death, correct?
 * Where did the Toa live, and would they have had armies to fight their brothers/sisters with?
 * Would I have the freedom to explain certain things, like how the Death Virus came to be, and how the two Toa were imprisoned?

Before I get started on my entry for the contest I need clarification. Can only Nuva "zombifiy" people or can any Forgotten Warrior do it?Prepare to be Chalked... 33 times! 16:44, August 13, 2013 (UTC)

So she's the Toa of life. K. And you'll name the Creation guy at some point?

I had thought of the Zombie disease like a bioweapon made by Nuva to deafest his fellow Toa and their armies. Would that be ok?

And that makes sense. I really despise continuity errors. --  DeltaStriker   17:31, August 13, 2013 (UTC)

K. I'll toss around a couple ideas in my head and tell you if I get something.

K. --  DeltaStriker   18:32, August 13, 2013 (UTC)

Glonor Wants His Revenge
Hey there, Vorred. :P

I apologise for not posting the review for the next chapter of Patriots. I'll get round to doing that later today. I just dropped this message to tell you that I'm currently adding an extra scene to the opening sequence of Zero Hour... which is actually unintentionally quite similar to the opening of Patriots. XD

Basically, Zero Hour starts with the death of Takanuva in the Fractures Universe and a couple of Matoran stealing the Avohkii off the Makuta. Now, I've already built four Matoran, three of which are set in stone and finalized. However, I have a Ta-Matoran - who gets impaled while running away and dies very quickly. Initially, I'd planned on giving him a grey Pakari (from the Kanohi/Krana packs back in 2002) but have decided to go with another mask.

Now, while I was rooting through my Kanohi box, I came across a grey Miru and thought it would be the most fitting. I don't own a grey Akaku or kakama and I'm already using a Kaukau and Hau in Zero Hour. So, I was wondering, what would you say to my proposal of this Miru-wearing Ta-Matoran being called Theran? :D XD

It could be something of an inside joke, and lays the groundwork for potentially having the rest of the Farside Toa appearing in the Fractures Universe. XD What do you think? :P

Contest Question
Hi Vorred,

In regards to your contest, I was wondering how many entries I am permitted? Anyways, I have decided to change over to the Skakdi topic, just because I have some ideas for that in mind.

-- Kopakamata 97  16:28, August 14, 2013 (UTC)

Awesome. :D Well... all the Farside Toa minus Theran. XD I have a gold/brown Kaukau and a white Kakama so Merall and Brorag can appear as Matoran. :P I could try to work some of them into Judgment Day or a possible Whispers in the Dark rewrite if you want, but I think I know a place I can add Merall. :P

When I speak of the grey Miru I mean this one, the one which came in the Kanohi/Krana sets of 2002. :P

Anyway, great to hear you're on board with the idea. XD I was afraid you might get offended... seeing as I'm killing off one of your main characters in the first chapter of the story that's dedicated to you... XD

In the future, I will reply on your blog - I just wanted you to get a notification for my message. Anyways, the title is going to be "Under the Carver's Knife". Don't worry...it won't be as creepy as it sound (unless you want it to be...I am into the horror genre if you'd like it to be disturbing). Thank you so much! -- Kopakamata 97  21:09, August 14, 2013 (UTC)

Well, if I ever made Merall, she'd probably look like this but with a gold Kaukau. :P The difference is quite hard to spot as they are very similar colors, but we'll see what happens. :P

Ah, that explains the color swapping and why they can't use their elemental powers. :P Should I keep that in mind while writing Night of the Long Knives? :P

Wow... This means Glonor and Range knew each other! XD

That's great. :D I haven't really used my YouTube channel in a while since my camera broke and my room gets too messy for stop motion. I considered putting Zero Hour as a motion video on my channel, but I decided against it. Still, I'm glad you liked what you saw so far. :D I'm thinking of making a comeback to YouTube with more modern day stuff and more BIONICLE skits. But I'm glad that you're interested. :D

RE: Contest Olmak
Technically it says "This users MOC has won a contest", but that's not really binding, so I guess you can use it for writings too. In fact, I'll edit it some so it says "creation" instead of "MOC". And super super super sorry for the late reply! D: -- [ http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110823111447/custombionicle/images/4/43/TDG.gif] ( Talk ) 23:29, August 14, 2013 (UTC)

I thought that the silver Kanohi meant that the Toa couldn't use their Elemental powers. :P Or at least that's what it meant in the case of the Toa Nuva. I suppose it could mean something else in an alternate universe. :P

Hmm, this is all very interesting, particularly with the element swapping. Will we learn more of the Farside Toas' origins in the next story in your saga? :P

Oh, that's true. Kanohi like the Volitak, Rua, Tryna, Rode (etc) could be silver in color but, with the context of the Toa Nuva, their Kanohi actually turned silver when they lost their powers. But, of course, it's your story and you can manipulate that detail any way you want. :P

That sounds like a great idea. :D I know I'll have lots to say. XD Plus, by that point, some of the writing contest entries will be in and you'll have even more open stories to close up. :P

As always, I'd be happy to offer any advice, though I'm doubtful that you'll need it. :P Your story is developing nicely into a regular, powerful saga. :D

Kanohi Tilira
I moved your article Kanohi Tilira so it no longer has the word "Kanohi" in the title. It's policy that titles aren't needed in article titles. Like you wouldn't have an article called "Toa Tahu", just "Tahu". The same thing goes for masks - "Kanohi" is a title and is not used in the title. :) -- [ http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110823111447/custombionicle/images/4/43/TDG.gif] ( Talk ) 11:27, August 18, 2013 (UTC)

That's when you move it to Tilira (kanohi). Like I just did for you. ;) -- [ http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110823111447/custombionicle/images/4/43/TDG.gif] ( Talk ) 11:48, August 18, 2013 (UTC)

Hey Vorred. :P I know it's a bit of another odd request but, the other day, I was switching some of the Kanohi with those Matoran in the Zero Hour Prologue to see if I could find better ones and I realised that I had a green Pakari. :P Now, there is a Le-Matoran in the group using Mata green and silver, who I had originally planned on being Tuuli. He gives his life to allow the group's leader to escape with the Avohkii but, in a twist that we find out about in Judgment Day, he actually survives.

I could quite easily switch this character for Dorvan if you want. :P It's a very dramatic role and it means he's guaranteed a chance to make a cameo in Judgment Day, which will be something of a minor part but will actually prove to be quite important. :P

I'm going to film the scene tonight and I'm going to use the green Pakari (I'm assuming that you're OK with it) but, if you don't want me to use Dorvan it can very easily be any Le-Matoran wearing a Pakari. :P

Well, they're not midnight shots. :P It's 9pm and it just looked stormy and dark outside, which is the weather I want for this scene seeing as they're running for their lives and getting killed. :P

GAH! I always add chapters on the day I'm planning on reviewing the last. XD I'll give it a read then post the Chapter 6 review. :D

EDIT: OK, I took a few pictures today. I didn't get as much done today as I would've liked but here's a promo snippet of Dorvan. :P

Additionally, I'm working on Chapter 3 of Night of the Long Knives, which will feature Brorag and Chaeus' battle with the Undead Warrior. Plus I changed the last chapter so that Chaeus is the only member of the team who can use a Kanohi. :P

I'm glad you like it. :D That's very much the effect that I was going for as that is actually my unmowed garden lawn... XD The grass is quite long at the moment and it makes for a great setting. :P Mata green was a great color to work with and it's very nostalgic for us BIONICLE fans of the early years. It's so bright and stimulative and evokes so many memories. :P

As for the Avohkii, well, in the Fractures Universe, there were two Avohkiis. :P Because that universe has had a 3000 year war with the Brotherhood, the Makuta got together and made a second Avohkii (the Rocka helmet) which is more capable of battling Makuta. :P Here's the main article. In the Fractures Universe, it's a pretty big deal because it can directly harm and kill Makuta unlike in the canon universe. :P

if you want ill send you a picture of a moc you can build and use as an undead in your story patriots

The Matoran maker can only make the Matoran from MNOG 1. The Matoran of the MNOG 2 can only be maked by editing a current image with the photoshop.

Here's the download link from the Matoran maker. Enjoy it, pal! ;D

Writing Contest
Vorred,

I'm just sending this message to say that I'm going to write about the imprisoned skakdi for the contest.

(Velika586 (talk) 22:08, August 23, 2013 (UTC))

Oh, cool. :D I made a Chorrum page so I can keep track of what I say in the letters. :P

As for Chapter 8, I did read it though I now want to send Toa Thode after Pirai for slapping females! I'll post a short review tonight. :P Like usual, I'd wanted to give other people the chance to comment before I burst in with a big block of text and potentially scare them off but it's been a while since I kicked off a discussion so I'll give you some feedback tonight. :P

Sorry I haven't been online much to tell you what I thought sooner. I've been doing a lot of work on Falling in the Black with Abc8920. It's entering it's final stages and we're hoping to get the final three chapters posted as soon as possible. :P

That seems like a good idea. :) Though I'll have to retype Chorrum's first letter as half of it was missing. :S I'm not sure how that happened.

I'm imagining a big crossover event in the near future where Theran and Glonor have a rematch and Thode and Merall team up to invent a new and original way of killing Pirai in retaliation of his slapping. XD

It's perfectly fine. :P I love discussing your story because it's one of the few stories on this site that I actually know almost inside out. XD I can tell you what happens in each chapter of Uprising from memory. :D

Anyway, my Bricklink order arrived today. :D I can't actually remember what I ordered. I know it was primarily Kanohi masks and Kanohi Nuva (OK, I ordered Merall's mask too. XD) but I can't wait to show it on my next Blog Update, which should be up in a matter of days. :P

I did purchase a number of other pieces and many more Kanohi/Kanohi Nuva. I'll upload them to my next monthly update blog. Unfortunately, I didn't get Brorag's Kanohi as I think it was more expensive, but I may get it in a future order. Ah well, I have more than enough for now. :D

I'll be happy to do any photography you want of the character with that mask. :P I have to agree, it does look very different. XD

Also, I compelted my version of Merall today. :D She doesn't have the pipe going around her rear yet and I don't have a second Toa Metru chestpiece for her back, and I have a thing against using the Toa Metru legs (but seeing it on her doesn't bother me, surprisingly). I'll try my best to get a picture to you tomorrow. :P

Well, the crossover thing was just a joke, but I'd be more than happy to write/film some mini adventures. :P I have the pieces to build Range, Chaeus, Theran, Merall, Aescela and potentially any other creations you come up with. :P I'm probably better at stop motion, but this could be a chance for a humorous, fun connection between our two storylines. :P The Non-Canon Adventures of BobTheDoctor27 and Vorred. XD

For the moment, Glonor can look like that. :P I figured it would make sense to have a 2003 Matoran standing next to a 2003 Toa. Otherwise, if I used the 2008 style build, they'd be the same height. :P Plus it's a nice, simple variation of Glonor's build over time. :P

I did like Merall's Inika form a lot, chiefly because it used one very difficult-to-use color and combined several different existing shades of that color to create a consistently toned, original character. :P Many other people in your position probably would've used two Rahaga Pouks heads as breasts, and I think that it's good you used the Ogrum piece for the chest. It's not too definable as breasts, but it's styled in a way that you could believe it was meant to be. :P Plus, it's not extremely pronounced or hyper-feminine, like so many other female Toa today. :P

Additionally, with my tweaking, I found a way to attach the shield to her arm, using the connector piece that connected the Makuta Phantoka to their Shadow Matoran. :P It doesn't have the same effect and it involves the shield being locked onto her arm so I'm not using it, but I thought it might interest you if I mentioned it. :P I'll upload a picture as soon as I can. Up next: Aescela. XD

As for your celebrity status, yes, I suppose you are famous. XD I'm sure that, if you posted a poll at the end of one of your comics, you'd be able to see just how many people read them. :D I'd reckon that it's quite a lot of people. Plus, because your story is so visual, it's quite hard to miss it. :P Anyway, I actually like the characters in your stories. :P Each of the Farside Toa (or at least the current lineup) is unique and interesting in their own way. :P

As for our crossover, I'm not too sure. :P I'd be happy to do writing or filming, though I imagine filming would be the more logical option. :P

Speaking of the summer and filming, I'm actually considering holding off Zero Hour until later in the year. :P Firstly, this is because I simply haven't got much of it filmed. Secondly, it's quite a tragic story and I really want to have some scenes where there is bad weather. Many of the battles need storm clouds and, as you're aware, Salu dies, which is quite a depressing moment for Jekkai. :P There's a lot of tragedy, and the summer is pretty much over. I'm going to get as much of the cheery, happy parts done as I can, then I'll have plenty of time to shoot the more depressing parts in winter/autumn. :P

Chorrum's going to be very excited about this. :D By the way, did you hear that I'm giving him a blue Akaku Nuva now? XD I'm revamping him... again. But only his Kanohi. :P

Yes, the pipe has that nice thigh-like effect and seems a lot smoother and more discreetly feminine rather than just giving her huge breasts like that. :P Yeah, that sounds good. :P Which characters did you have in mind?

Summer time is precious now, and my summer is nearly over. In three weeks I leave for university. O.o That's a scary thought.

Oh, cool. You really are a Recent Changes junkie. XD I've taken a few pictures but I'm still working in my new camera, and the pictures are coming out dark. :/ You may have noticed it with Merall's picture.

As for Merall, that's not the final version of her that you'll see. :P I'm going to do some more work on her legs and will add that tube. :P I have the pieces, but I just need to find them. It's been a while since I worked with brown and I'm not sure where the part might have gotten to. I can always order a replacement from BRICKLINK.

Tollubo, Thode and Vilnius are indeed nice choices. :P The thing about Tollubo, however, is that he's constantly changing his appearance, so literally any Kanohi could be used to represent him. :P

I'd also recommend building Tourik, Jollun and Mudro (I know you have the most important piece). XD The first two use painted pieces, but it would be interesting to see how you get around it with your own building techniques. :P

In part three of your comic trilogy? :P Well, I definitely want to see Merall, Brorag and Range. XD Additionally, it would be interesting to see if Pirai can dig himself out of that hole with Merall to actually befriend the team. Additionally, I would be interested to see Aescela get paired up with Viretha, even if it's just in the space between missions. :P

Speaking of the writing contest, I'll add the third installment of Night of the Long Knives as soon as Falling in the Black is completed. :P

Yeah, I wasn't too sure what you meant. XD I thought you were asking which characters of yours I wanted to see survive. :P

Well, I think it would be nice to see Tourik. :P I can imagine him and Range arguing over who's more awesome. XD

Of course, I'd need to actually win a place first. :P

I just wanted to let you know I have chosen Toa Bralter to be one of my new Turaga See here if you don't remember this. Thank you for offering him and have a nice day/night! Talk 18:58, September 2, 2013 (UTC)

Once again I am coming to you for help (It's not my fault you're epik!). I need your opinion on who should be my other canon Turaga. Here are the prototypes:

Sorry to bother you so often as I know your're busy with your comic as well as other stuff. Have a nice day/night! Talk 21:34, September 5, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah I was leaning towards him as well. His neck is so long because I'm out of metru heads so I have to use Mata heads. Plus the plus sign connector piece (there must be a simpler name) is the only one that's not to short. Thanks for the input!

I'll try not to overdo it. But it is nice to be able to talk to a "higher up" user every now and then ;D. Talk 13:13, September 6, 2013 (UTC)

I'm thinking about making my own club, similar to That Devious Club. What do you think of the idea? Talk 14:31, September 7, 2013 (UTC)

Tee hee. :D It was taken in my backyard earlier today. I took Merall outside and gave her a photoshoot. XD That was the best picture. I took a few photos of her down by the waterfall from Zero Hour but that was the best picture I could do. :P I'm making a brickshelf gallery for all the pictures I took. :P

I'm still working on building Aescela at the moment, but I don't have the pearl ball joint piece to go on her chest. Would it be OK if I just gave her a brown and grey version of Chorrum's chest? :P

Wow... that newer version will be a challenge for me to build... I think I'll just stick to the Patriots form. :P That way she has a similar build to Chorrum. Plus I don't own a brown Ruru. Sorry about the confusion. I just think of Aescela's Patriots form as her default these days. :P

Ah, the eyes. DX I just realized now. Aww man! XD I just ordered a whole stockload of new brainpieces off of Bricklink. To make that mistake is terrible! XD

Anyway, there is a brickshelf gallery of the pictures that I took of Merall today and it should be available in a matter of hours. :P However, I had a problem while uploading them and it appears that the last two or three have been uploaded sideways... :S I'm not sure how to fix this as they were the right way up when I uploaded them so I'll just hope it fixes itself. :P

The Bionicle Mocing Challenge
Hey Vor,

there's a new MOC contest that has been starting, namely the Bionicle Mocing Challenge. First round started today at midnight (EST), it's about building both Toa and Turaga forms of a canon Matoran whose appearance is known. You may wanna have a look ;)

--Aljarreau 09:05, September 14, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I'll probably warm to it once the nest installment comes out. :P But I think the Pakari will always be Aesela's Kanohi. :P Just like the Komau is always Kopeke's signature Kanohi.

At first I was confused as to why Range had become a Toa of Psionics when his Patriots form was released, but then I revisited your Mocpages account and saw that he was in fact blue and gold. :P It's a very effective color scheme and a very effective creation. :D

Unfortunately Brickshelf seems to have gone down on my server and I can't see to load the website anywhere in my house, on any computer. :/ But many of my creations have Brickshelf galleries. For example, Thode has a rather extensive gallery that you can find on his page here. :P Like I said, Brickshelf is currently unable to load on my computer so I can't link you to my account directly, but my username is Matoro1. :P

Also the pins going in her feet are the wrong color and, as you've probably guessed, I used a pipe piece on her neck. :P I might swap out the leg connector rod for a black piece in future, but I will most likely keep Merall intact forever now that I have that Bricklink Haul. :P

Hmm, I'll have to delete the pictures then re-upload them. Ah well. I can upload the best pictures here. :P

Hopefully these have uploaded properly. Enjoy. :D

Ah, I thought you'd like that one. :P I'd contemplated having her suit up with her axes attached to her feet but that was too Gali. XD

I took a number of pictures with her in that position. In fact, I was going to make this a secondary banner:

I looked around at some of your stuff on Moc pages and I now have a question/request: would you mind if I use Viretha, and her custom body, in my alternate universe?
