MARVELOUS-Verse

The MARVELOUS-Verse is an extensive reimagining of the BIONICLE universe first introduced in the line's first generation. Numerous things are altered, added, or removed due to either personal preferences or the desire to make the universe somewhat more coherent.

Early History
To be added...

Out-of-Universe
The MARVELOUS-Verse had its beginnings in 2013, when Lan created his first serious original character, Gairu. Lan immediately began thinking of how exactly this new original character would fit into the pre-existing BIONICLE universe, and, when confronted by the idea that Gairu would not fit into that universe, he decided to create a new one.

Over time, the MARVELOUS-Verse evolved from a simple tweak of the original G1 universe to a full-blown overhaul, with a reworked mythology, culture, and means of repopulating. Lan's intent went from simply shoehorning his characters and stories into an already complex universe, to creating a universe where every aspect was significant, and even the most underused element (no pun intended) had some role to play in the overarching mythos. Thus, the MARVELOUS-Verse as it is today was forged.

Significant Deviations
As a reworked universe, the MARVELOUS-Verse features many fundamental differences from the original BIONICLE universe. Some of the major changes include: Furthermore, characters established in pre-existing BIONICLE G1 canon do exist within the MARVELOUS-Verse, but they are given minimal screen-time at best, or merely mentioned in passing at worst, so as to place more focus on original characters and storylines. (If said canon characters are minor or obscure, though, that's a whole 'nother story.)
 * The mythology is vastly different, with many minor G1 characters taking on important roles.  For the whole of the altered mythology, please see Mythology of the MARVELOUS-Verse.
 * Most of the unnamed Sapient Species are removed entirely, with the exception of a select few.  Those select few species are given actual Species names.
 * All MARVELOUS-Verse species are capable of wearing and using Kanohi.
 * Matoran of minor pre-established elements are much more common.
 * The transformation from Matoran to Toa is very, very rare.
 * Turaga is now a title for Matoran prophets, rather than a transformation of Matoran.
 * The Brotherhood of Makuta is now a cult, rather than a race of beings.
