Re: New Story
I do appreciate the input! I'll defiantly bring more BIONICLE-related content into it...that's just the aftermath of being away from BIONICLE for too long. Anyways, sorry for the typos...I write really fast and cause a lot of typos...so sorry but thank you for catching it. Generally, I have an idea in my head and start spewing it out in words that don't always connect...and I'm freaked out by the mess I've caused by the end of it. Well, thank you for reading it and pointing that stuff out to me :D

-- Master Toa  wants your brains....  02:52, January 13, 2013 (UTC) (P.S. Is the darkness of the story overbearing?)

Sorry I couldn't reply earlier. I was out all day yesterday meeting family and got back pretty late. :P

I'm extremely glad you enjoyed my review and I'm flattered by your reception of my offer to build your creation. :D One question that reading the page left me wondering was whether or not the Toa who protected Sonitous' village from Dark Hunters was going to be of any future significance. I think it would perhaps be a good hidden Easter Egg to name this Toa. Maybe this could be your interpretation of how Toa Jovan became a Turaga? LEGO certainly aren't going to mention him again. Or maybe it could be a character who has been introduced as a Turaga. Perhaps you could have Feex give him a Toa Stone. Maybe he toured the Universe trying to find worthy Matoran like Sonitous and Soalaz. :P Could be an interesting idea that would entice people to read right from the first thing they see in his Biography. :P

In regards to his build, indeed I do imagine Nuparu Mahri's shield when I think of actually building the character. I'll give it my best shot and I'll defiantly be able to get a Matoran version of him into Zero Hour. :P I'll work on the Toa version in more depth, of course, but it may interest you to know that I've build a STARs version of him this morning that I'm going to use as something of a blueprint to build his Toa self from. :P Additionally, I've already had some ideas about his shield design. I get the idea that he's a strong, muscular character so he'll be a lot thicker than the Toa Metru-style creation I have holding it. . The shield's easy enough to build but I've used quite a few modern-day TECHNIC parts from the Witch Doctor set to keep it together. :P

Well, when I originally planned out my main sequence of events for Judgement Day, I'd wanted to dedicate a chapter to having 'one of the Matoran become a Toa!' I'd planned to make Memel a Toa but I had to cut out the chapter where he proved himself as a worthy candidate and just gave the position to Danza because he would be the most interesting Toa of the bunch. :P However, if I do decide to have Sonitous survive Zero Hour then I will consider the possibility of making his a Toa, along with any other excess Matoran I have by that point. :P

As for Doctor Who... well. :D I loved the episode. I thought it was pure genius on the part of the Moffat. I thought all the references back to the original series (The title sequence, 11's disguise as Sherlock Holmes, the fact that Oswin's grave mentioned the date of the first ever Doctor Who episode, the old-style TARDIS console, the mentioning of Silurians in the sewers beneath London) were woven into the story superbly. Plus Jenna-Louise Coleman did a very convincing portrayal of a shocked companion while not appearing to be another damsel in distress. I think she genuinely proved herself as a worth companion. :P

But, I have to say, what I liked most about the episode was Strax. :D He provided unfailing humor and I actually laughed aloud when I heard: "Sir! Help! I think I'm being run over by a carriage!" In fact, while I was watching the episode, I actually noticed that the relationship between the Doctor and Strax was very similar to that of Skorr and Arzok. :D
 * Bob The  Doctor  27

Yes, I would have to agree. The logic behind the whole "pond" thing was a little implausible as was, of course, the hidden staircase and the TARDIS in the clouds, but I tend not to take the science behind Doctor Who seriously these days. I'm starting to notice that the stories are gradually becoming more about the characters and less about problems. The penultimate episode the last season, the one with all the cubes, I think best exemplifies that. I found the actual disaster to be somewhat... low-budget and unspectacular but I loved how the episode went into depth about what happens to the companions if they stay with the Doctor for too long, especially seeing it through Rory's dad's eyes, and the implication that they won't come home at the end of it. :P

Either way, it was a fun episode to see on Christmas, and you're right, it's perhaps the best Christmas special we've had since Steven Moffat began writing. :P

As for Sonitous, I just built his Matoran version this morning. Currently, I'm shooting for Zero Hour but I've hit a bit of a snag. :/ The paint that I used to paint Kanohi reacts to the cold and drips off, which means I'll have to plan what I'm going to do with those characters before I take them outside. It's quite an inconvenience, particularly as I haven't gotten around to scripting yet, but I think I used a black marker pen on the Arthron I painted, so Sonitous should be able to hold up. :P

Regarding Perspectives, I've always thought it would be an interesting twist to have a Turaga behind an evil scheme. :P In Frozen Calling I'd originally planned to have Garnax being a Turaga of Stone but I scrapped the idea because he has a physically demanding combat sequence in the near future. :P Of course, if you intend to have Thode kill this character it might be a good idea to start with personality profiles. :P Who would have something to gain by destroying Xia? A Brotherhood member would perhaps be suspected immediately and wouldn't have the unexpected edge. But whoever is behind such a large scheme would have to have considerable influence and persuasive technique. Through Garnax I went with wealth being that influence. Perhaps the mastermind in Perspectives could be an authority figure, some high-up snobby Vortixx. Or maybe it could be one of Xia's competitors. Other weapons-making organizations include the Nynrah Ghosts. Perhaps a Turaga/Matoran of Iron who wants people to buy Fe-Matoran made goods as opposed to Xian-made ones could be behind it all. :P

In terms of his employer, a solution would be, of course, someone who has something to gain by keeping peace in Xia. Perhaps an Order of Mata Nui agent was tasked with preserving the peace by Helryx, couldn't carry it out, so hired someone else to do it. Maybe Turaga Matoro is forming the alliance between Xia and Metru-Nui and wants to keep Xia strong as a powerful war ally in the war against the Brotherhood. You could even have it being some high-ranking Vortixx Secret Service Official. I wouldn't get too worried about it though. :P

Regardless, I hope it all goes well. :P Let me know if you need any more help and I should have a Toa-version of Sonitous in my next My MOCs blog, as well as his STARs and Matoran version. :D

The Silence of the End
The Silence of the End's prologue and first chapter have been modified. I'm working on Chapter 2's editing at the moment...and you can expect to see Chapter 3 and 4 added soon. Hope you like it! -- Master Toa  wants your brains....  20:42, January 14, 2013 (UTC)

another message from me haha
To answer your corrections: ME: Just fixed it. ME: What I mean by that is "there was a considerable amount of carnage on the roads these days". Fixed it so it wouldn't be so confusing. ME: Fixed it up! ME: Alrighty. ME: Lol minor typo sorry. ME: Kk. ME: Awesome! ME: Haha another typo. ME: It was another character, but I didn't realize I did such a similar name. Kyrla is now going to be named Hadrin. -- Master Toa  wants your brains....  20:57, January 14, 2013 (UTC) P.S. How much language can I get away with in this novel?
 * YOU: "...the mysterious island nicknamed as "Predaria"." It should either be, "known as "Predaria"" or "nicknamed Predaria." The 'as' shouldn't be there in the latter case.
 * YOU: "There was a considerable amount of carnage on the roads anymore." The line way you've written this line has made it a bit confusing. Do you mean "there wasn't a considerable amount of carnage...."?
 * YOU: "Only overcast shown over the land ever since the overtake of the organization." This line confused me a bit. Perhaps reword it a little bit?
 * YOU: "Warx, was to be in the forest as a shortcut to get to the small village, Moril. They often travelled secret routes so they could..." Maybe replace "as a shortcut" with "Warx, was to be in the forest, using it as a shortcut to get to the small etc." Also, small thing here, maybe put something like, "they often travelled via secret routes." Otherwise the sentence looks like you missed a small detail.
 * YOU: " A grim feeling of dread over came him." Over came should be overcame. :P
 * YOU: "You'll be comin' with me..." its voice slithered more than a Kankari snake." Capitalize 'its' as 'Its'.
 * YOU: "Garvankh could feel himself become concerned, but not scared." I feel you could be a bit more descriptive here. Maybe something like "could feel fear rising in his body, yet his mind steadied it and refused to show his terror." or something like that. :P
 * YOU: "Lanua was a psychotic lunatic who did not diserve to live in the luxury of the village." 'diserve' should 'deserve.' Minor typo. :P
 * YOU: Did you rename Kyro to Kyrla halfway through chapter two or am just confusing myself with another character? XD

Re: Toa Sonitous
Well, I was eating breakfast on Monday morning when my mother looked out of the window and said: "I think it's going to snow soon, you can barely see over the hills in the distance." Sure enough, my the time I'd finished my toast and looked out the window again, it was snowing. :D

To cut a long story short, it's so snowy right now that I half-feel like I'm in Elysium. XD It is insane! My school is getting closed and my teachers are going nuts because it's so close to my exams, but I'm finally experiencing my first snow day in years, and of all the things I could have done on that single day off school I decided to put together Toa Sonitous. :D I figured that I may as well just take advantage of the snow to use as a backdrop for some photos. :D

I can always retake any photos and I will do some action shots of him using his shield "Captain America style" and of his against a proper, professional white photography board :P For now though, I just wanted to let you see what I've made so far and to get some nice pictures of him in a wintry setting. :P

I hope you enjoy the pictures. :D
 * Bob The  Doctor  27

...''I say go for it! Bring on the animal sacrifices and dancing Ga-Matoran in my glorious honor!'' XD

It's no problem at all. In fact, I think I may reuse that torso design in future. :P If anything, this experience has given me some motivation to make more creations. I've been thinking about revamping Jollun for a while. Perhaps this is the spark that will bring about my revamp of the character. :D

Yes... about that shield combat... XD I brought out a generic Skakdi creation of mine today for him to ram into in an action shot, but I made the mistake of painting the spine white and you couldn't see it against the snow, so I just didn't attempt the shot. :P I will probably attempt more action shots soon, but I'll choose a better location, maybe from the ground or the road outside my house where I can actually stand him up. :P Regardless, there will be better pictures coming soon, and my next blog post will probably have some more pictures of BIONICLE figures trapped in the snow. :P
 * Bob The  Doctor  27

Why thank you, that is extremely kind of you and I am most grateful. :D That sounds like a pretty solid explanation and I feel very touched indeed that you preferred my revamp to your original. :D

Those were indeed rocket boosters, but you may not want to go into detail about them. I added them for effect and to beef up his feet. I think there was a brief period in which I thought he might have been fitted with some kind of Phantoka/Mistika-style Adaptive Armor when he began serving the Order. Of course, now I've taken the photograph, I realize the noise those things give off must deafen him when he uses them. :S Maybe they've been silenced. :D

LINES :D
check ya youtubeesss i got krone lines for ya! Very short this time.

-- Ids  5621   10:50, January 20, 2013 (UTC)

Hello my good friend. :D

Wow, that seems very productive indeed! XD Going from 12 pages to 29 is quite a workload and I'm very appreciative that you felt motivated to undertake such a task. :P I can't seem to find the 'messages' function on YouTube since they changed it round, but I'll have a look for it and give it a quick read later tonight. :P

I feel quite touched by that little trivia footnote about me on the page for The Voyager. :D I will give that a read as well when I get a chance. :P

Unfortuantely for me though, I'm about to hit exam season. :/ My first exam is on the 6th then my other two are on the 18th and 20th. By the end of it, I should have a few days off afterwards with which to relax and get some writing done. I'll mostly be working on Frozen Calling and Falling in the Black as well as rewriting parts of Whispers in the Dark and Over Your Shoulder, but I'll be a lot more active from the beginning of March. :P By this point though, I'll be thinking about making another comic set in the Core BIONICLE universe's future. :P It's an idea I've had for some time now where several residents from Spherus Magna go on a journey into space. Of course, the idea's still in its preliminary stage and all the characters are in STARS form (with intentionally shortened custom Matoran), but I was wondering if I could feature Toa Sonitous as the leader of the expedition. It would be a chance to show off his STARS form and I've never written a story set in the Core BIONICLE Universe. :P


 * Bob The  Doctor  27

My apologies for the the late response. I had to work yesterday and do some homework on Friday night. Plus I'm feeling pretty unwell at the moment so I just crashed in my bed and fell asleep at 8 pm when I got home yesterday. :/ I haven't read Perspectives yet, but I did get a chance to read through The Voyager and have prepared some feedback. :D

Overall, I have to say that it is a very enticing story with lots of tense anticipation that promotes Sonitous very effectively. :P Your portrayal of him certainly brings to mind the image I had when I designed him and it serves as an excellent introductory point for the character. :D

Your use of pathetic fallacy was very appropriate and I love how it actually played a part in the battle with the natural world becoming a key player in dislodging each combatants. I like the idea of how it could just as easily have been Sontious who fell into the ocean instead of the Zyglak, and maybe the wind and rain distracted him. :P However, I was presently surprised to find that you drifted away from this assertion in place of a better one: that Sonitous was a drifting, directionless wanderer and that he had actually failed in the eyes of the Matoran. It seemed like a mix between a tragic defeat and a victory, which was also an interesting feature. :P

I did rather like the Ta-Matoran character as well. His perspective was an interesting one and showed remarkable writing skills to pull off an insight into another character’s inner workings. :P The Matoran’s attitudes and expectations of the world, particularly his opinion of Toa and his knowledge of Zyglak, were excellent. I felt that his judgement of Sonitous at the end was particularly effective and I liked how he remained anonymous at the end. He does play a key role in the story and his absence would certainly change the entire dynamic yet, by not naming him, it’s almost as if he’s insignificant and forgettable at the same time, a very effective use of juxtaposition! :D

While I was reading it though, I did pick out one aspect I wasn’t so sure about: the fact that you didn’t mention the Zyglak having the Protodermis-eating infection. When Sonitous tackled it I was a little confused over whether or not you’d just forgotten about it or if his armor was about to start melting. Personally, I find Zyglak a pain to write about. I’ve only ever featured them in the first chapter of Whispers in the Dark and a had to do a bit of research to pull that off. The solution that you gave – having the Zyglak be an assumed outcast and unable to carry the plague – did seem a little weak, which is my one structural criticism of the story. It was an interesting idea and it did convey some primal, survival-of-the-fittest elements, but I ultimately feel that it almost made Sonitous’ victory seem too easy. He wouldn’t have known that it didn’t have the plague so he wouldn’t have tackled it straight away. It almost feels like he would have been killed on that boat if he’d been fighting a fully capable Zyglak. :P

I would perhaps just make his enemy a plague-carrying Zyglak and show him thinking his way through the battle, having Sontious using a different application of his Elemental Powers, maybe have him using a short sword that gets eaten by the Protodermis-eating virus, or simply hitting the Zyglak with his shield instead of his fists. If you change the Echo Shield page to say the weapon is made of Protosteel then I believe it should be the only part of him that could withstand the virus. Plus, when I added the booster rockets to his feet it was because I imagined him with some kind of adaptive armor or special upgrade that allows him to one-up his opponents. Maybe Sonitous’ armor is partly Protosteel and the Matoran can hear the “clank of heavy Protosteel resonating over the thunder” as they battle. :P

I did make a few tweaks of my own when I proof read it though but there weren’t any serious errors that I could see and I didn’t make any massive changes. I think I probably added a sentence or two. Pretty early on you said that the Zyglak was like “a thousand different nightmares” then said it had “thousands of teeth” a sentence later. Seeing as the word was repeated and it’s unlikely it actually did have thousands of teeth, I changed the latter quote to “rows of different teeth”, which I believe is what sharks have and sounds more predatory. That’s the kind of thing I did most of the time. :P

However, I wasn’t sure about whether or not I should do something about your use of English (U.K) as opposed to English (U.S). Of course, I believe you normally write in that language and it is what I was taught at school, but seeing as the vast majority of people who read articles on CBW are American, they might think you’ve spelled words like “colour” wrong. :P

Either way, I’d give this story an 8.5/10. :D You used a lot of very effective descriptive language, characterisation, persona, tone, word choice and it was extremely original. The only elements I think it lacked in were clarity over the Zyglak-plague thing and actually living up to its purpose. I know you intended for it to introduce Sonitous but I felt that the fact that there wasn't a single spoken word in the whole story and that we only really got to observe Sonitous’ character through guesswork were quite risky. However, the good points FAR outweigh the bad. :D I absolutely LOVED your description of the setting and Sonitous’ battle scars. This is a story that you should be truly proud of. :D

Hey, CB, I was just wondereing if I could use Mersery in my Artificial Toa series as the creator of AT001(a.k.a. Niha). Would it be true to his character for him to create robots? - Bionicle  Kid  16:19, January 28, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks! I'm already working on it. Bionicle Kid  01:12, January 29, 2013 (UTC)

I seem to be unable to post blog comments at the moment so I'll reply to your comment here. :P

"Well, you can expect another 11 of these this year because I'm going to try my best to get involved with the community this time round. :P After all, the Matoran are the heart of Metru-Nui users here are the the life blood of BIONICLE right now. This is pretty much the last active group of fans on the web. BIONICLE is part of our communal heritage and I plan on doing everything I can to keep that tradition very-much alive. :D Hmmm, it may be a little difficult to work the fates of the Toa Inika into the action, but it would make a good side note. :P I'm sure I can work in a scene with the Matoran talking about the Inika. Maybe they saw them fighting in the war and are retelling campfire tales of their heroism. Yes, I can definitely see that working. :D I'm glad you await the blog with such anticipation. Based on your request I've actually created a revamp for Inrye, which I'll showcase before the long list of Zero Hour creations. However, I've actually lost the creation. DX I'll have a good rummage around my room for it tomorrow and if I can't find it I'll try and remake him. :P I'm glad I was able to flatter you with my summary because, in all honesty, Perspectives is the best BIONICLE fanon story I've read in months. :D I've always found that you and Toa Hydros have pin pointed the exact atmosphere of the BIONICLE universe that Greg Farshtey adopted. When I read your stories I get a distinct nostalgic feeling, like I'm reading one of the BIONICLE Adventures books from 2005 all over again. It's like I'm reading a chapter in my childhood. :D Personally I didn't spot too many mistakes when I read Perspectives but, if you post it at any time after the 20th then you'll be able to post it at the same time as I repost Over Your Shoulder, which could strengthen the reception of both stories. Indeed, I do feel that there's something new and rejuvenating about the start of this year. Maybe I've just finally caught on to what 'spring' means, but I do feel inspired and geared up ready to be productive. :D I do feel that you have inspired me, Mr. Bond, and for that, I take my fez off to you. :P"

Re:TROR
When Punishment is fully written, sure! I'd be quite pleased to review it. Toa  Roden   14:59, February 12, 2013 (UTC)

P.S. I assume I should treat your message as a review request for The Voyager? 'Cause I have. ;-)

Hello again. :)

I was afraid of this when I posted the review. :/ But, I have a spare moment so I'm happy to help. :D Well, the only concern I really had was the fact that you didn't establish that the Zyglak didn't have the plague until after the whole fight. I think it would be a bit of an ordeal to re-write the whole thing to make the Zyglak a plague-carrier. Perhaps if the Ta-Matoran made an early remark about how its virus didn't eat through the metal on the ship. I'd add a bit there about what's going on in his head or perhaps immediately after Sonitous appears to save him. Maybe he sees the Toa as this heroic figure who is simply so benevolent and all-powerful in his eyes that the virus doesn't affect him. He could remark that as strange while Sonitous is battling him, that would save you a LOT of writing. :P

It wasn't much of a plothole. The only error I found was that Sonitous dived on him unaware that he didn't carry the virus. Perhaps if he threw his Echo Shield at the Zyglak Captain America style (you can tell I'm still hyped up from The Avengers after this many Marvel-related suggestions XD ) or assaulted it with a Sonic blast then he could avoid contact until the Zyglak is actually fighting him and he's forced to do hand-to-hand combat. :P

To be honest, I was struggling to find a criticism and delved into specifics in order to give you a well-rounded response. If you asked anyone else to review it I'm highly doubtful that they'd have pointed it out. I'd completely forgotten about the virus until I did my research on Zyglak for Whispers in the Dark. I don't think anyone else will notice. :P Even so, your reasoning for the Zyglak having no virus was effectively plausible (it's certainly not the WEIRDEST thing that's happened in the BIONICLE universe :P) and the story is still highly deserving of an A* in any review. :P

Hope I helped. :D

Hey, CB. I was wondering, do we have a time for updating the Main Page?

Re:TROR reviews
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I saw your message several days ago, but, well, you know how life is... :P

Anyways, I guess the best I can give you concerning The Mentor's Way at the moment is a tentative 'yes', owing to some real-life matters that are sapping much of my time and energies, not to mention Shadowfell, the writing of which I am putting into red-line overdrive in order to get it finished within a reasonable time period. So... yeah. A solid 'yes' on The Voyager and Punishment, a tentative 'yes' on The Mentor's Way.

Talk to you later. Over an' out. Toa  Roden   18:18, February 21, 2013 (UTC)

P.S. Check your PM inbox on the TEG RPG forum. You've got mail. ;-)

P.P.S. Hey... what happened to my signature??! Is this Wikia meddling again, or does the 'Samurai' font no longer exist in the universe? >:O

Glad to hear it. :D I'll give it a read tomorrow, which is the day I'm going to give Varkanax39 some feedback on Into The Darkness. :P

Hmm, that's an interesting question and I'm touched that you turned to me for answers. :P Immediately, to possibility of him doing research into Hordika venom or genetic flaws in dangerous Rahi come to mind but I'm also aware that the Order is responsible for a number of innovations towards bettering the standard of life for the Matoran. Maybe he could have played a part in the Time Slip, making everyone forget periods of their lives with some kind of mechanical device? I'd probably have him spearheading some kind of research team or he could have theories about the Core Processor or the Makuta Pool.

But, ultimately, my personal favorite suggestion, is that you could switch his Chemistry specialty to a Medical specialty instead and make him (wait for it).... a doctor! XD

Suggestion from Firestar
Hey CB, it has been a long time since I talked to you my friend. Well my suggestion: now that the BIONICLE Legends Arc is up for adoption I have come up with this idea about a Forum. Now comes the suggestion: Isn't it a good idea to make a Story Adoption Forum? A forum where users can put the stories they don't want to write anymore up for adoption. So first you place the name of the story that's up for adoption, then the name of the official author, The summary of the story, the reason why it is put up for adoption, then potential new authors (where an author can put his username if he wants to adopt the story.) and then some notes from the OA. Do you think this is a good idea CB?

One question though. Do you first have to be a rollback if you want to become an Admin?

Well I hope you reply soon and take care!

Firestar.

Fire Alone Can Save Our Clan (talk) 16:06, February 28, 2013 (UTC)

It's no problem. :P Most of those suggestions were just plucked from thin air. I probably should have checked first, but you imagine him more of a scientist locked away in the dark, tinkering with test tubes and writing on a blackboard? :P If that's the case then I'd recommend him looking into some sort of Toa-enhancing formula, or some way to manipulate Energized Protodermis.

Regardless, I can't wait to see what directions you take the character in with that reference to a science team. :P

Hey, CB, could you move Niha: Artificial Toa to Niha (series)?

TROR - The Voyager
Hey, just thought I'd let you know that my official review for The Voyager is complete and posted. It's definitely not my best review, as I was pressed for time while writing it, and was also feeling mentally drained as a result of a massive literature essay I was forced to do last week... Hope you don't mind too much, if it's not quite as good as you were perhaps expecting. Toa  Roden   19:57, March 9, 2013 (UTC)

Hey CB its me, if you've seen my latest blog you'll know I'm back and hope to do some more work on Cailleax to finish up his story. Now I do have some ideas for this and I would like to use Parikon if I may, he won't be directly responsible for Cailleax's "take down" per say, but he will have had a hand in it, I will explain how later if you decide to give me your permission.  When the world is ashes   ...   you have my permission to die.  02:05, March 12, 2013 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I know he's quite a new user—though he keeps removing the Wikify Template, (even though he has fixed some mistakes) and I warned him the last time about this, and it sorrows me that I have to be the 'Tattle Tale'.

Thank you for your time,

I CB, I just wanted to make sure you saw my last message I sent?  When the world is ashes   ...   you have my permission to die.  17:18, March 17, 2013 (UTC)

Hey there Fezmaster. :D

I just wanted to drop you a quick message to tell you that I've constructed a MOC for Turaga Velika in the Fractures Universe and have had to paint a number of parts a new shade of brown. I think it's closer to the 2001-2003 brown but I've finally done it. While I was building the set though, I kept having images of the Turaga of Stone in Perspectives playing through my mind. So, I decided to paint a second Kanohi with the paint. You can find an image here. I was just wondering if the character would be of any use to you. If not then I don't need to make a page for him, but I've given him the temporary name of Slagjaw as I once made a corrupt Turaga of Stone creation in my early days of MOCing. I just thought it might be an interesting addition and I could easily take a picture of him and Thode to go in a little promotional gallery at the bottom of the story. :P

Great thanks, as I said before if you chose to give me your permision I would tell you my idea and its pretty simple, basically after the fall of Cailleax, Parikon was the only one who truly understood what was about to happen so he created another entity of light who would be activated or "awaken" if Cailleax every broke free of his imprisonment within the crystalized protodermis. Now I don't have much else for the story infact I don't even have a moc, but since we are working together on the the character Hyemeus I was wondering if you would like to work on this character as well and create the moc. Now I know your probably very busy and if you can't I understand and I'll try and find away to work it out myself, but I thought I would offer up the oppertunity to work on another character as I way of re-entering bionicle fan fiction.  When the world is ashes   ...   you have my permission to die.  02:08, March 19, 2013 (UTC)

Sounds good, now at the moment I'm trying to develope a new beginning for Cailleax's story so that should give you some time, but I'm not pushing just take your time.  When the world is ashes   ...   you have my permission to die.  23:16, March 25, 2013 (UTC)

Oh, I understand that. :P I just threw him together and thought you might be interested to see how your creation shaped out in my mind.

Again, I don't think I'll ever be able to thank you enough for writing Perspectives. I will not forget that gesture of such kindness and I will return the favor one day. :D

(Sorry, I forgot to reply to that last message. DX) Well, he was made more to put a face to the character. I'm going to be delving deeper into Metru-Nui's system of government with the Turaga High Council so I might end up making a brief page for Slagjaw. I just thought you might be interested in it seeing as he's based off of something you wrote. You don't have to use him or anything but the offer's there I suppose. :P Either way, I understand that your storyline doesn't need another Turaga so it's perfectly fine. :P

In regards to Perspectives, I'll set about doing that. :P I'm actually planning a short non-storyline related comic at the moment involving Thode murdering everyone in the Fractures Universe on a killing spree but I'm unlikely to finish that. Either way, I'd be happy to make any supporting material. Personally, I'm quite fond of the banner, though I can understand why you might have grievances as the text is perhaps a little too dark. But, either way, it shoudln't be a problem. :D

Perspectives Logo
Here, you can use as you please. I thought I could touch it up a little. =P



Cheers. &mdash; I'm a  Koala  23:48, March 28, 2013 (UTC)

I'm glad to see it's up. :P I'll be writing my next monthly blog update in the next few days so I'll give it a mention there. Plus I'll add any new pictures of Thode that I take to a Promotional Gallery at the bottom of the page, like I've done with Whispers in the Dark. That's very kind of Varkanax indeed. :P

I just wanted to extend my my heartfelt thanks to you once more. I know it must seem a little repetitive by now but you really have done me a tremendous act of kindness. If there's ever anything that I can do to better-convey my gratitude I'd be more than happy to help. :D

I'm extremely glad to hear that. It is indeed a truly inspirational piece of writing that has revitalized the way in which I look at my own story. :D

Edit: Without a shadow of a doubt. XD I've been careful to stay clear of any potential spoiler material, but I have high hopes for this season. I'm liking how it's no longer toned down to a big space-age series finale. Having mid-season regenerations, sub-adventures being interrupted and, of course, Strax. :D

This reminds me, my mother bought me a fez for passing my most recent set of exams. XD

While it's on my mind (I know it has nothing to do with what we're talking about) I was wondering if you could restore the past revisions for the Curatio page. Initially, as you may recall, I had the Kanohi Curatio in my story instead of the Avohkii. However, instead of adding a new Kanohi to an already insanely long list of fanon Kanohi, I decided to merge it with the Avohkii. More recently though, I've regretted not copying what was on the page so I could make an Avohkii (Fractures Alternate Universe) page. If you could restore the page I can make the Avohkii page then make the second Zeverek (who I really should name). That would help me out a lot. :D

Thank you very much. :D I'm also in the process of uploading two new Thode-related pictures that I took this morning. I'll probably take another one of Thode watching Tollubo in the bar or of the fight scene between him and Racasix.

You are not very active on CHFW, so can I use reaper in my story? I know you have never herd of me and he will be credited, he won't be embarrassed, or die. --Hopefully the new admin of CHFW, soon (talk) 01:00, March 31, 2013 (UTC)

MNOG MOC
It's just as easy as take a image of a Matoran of the MNOG II and edit ti with the photoshop. The problem is that the colour change tool is not very efficient.

For example: Bronwyn shoud have the withe body, but he has the body with the grey colour beca use the colour change tool :3.

I hope that coud help you.

Garmagic (talk) 06:40, April 9, 2013 (UTC)

The tool is actualy named color replacement tool. I didn't  know how to translate it correctly :3

Garmagic (talk) 12:38, April 9, 2013 (UTC)

Hey CB, I'm going to make this quick, I've decided to step away from the Heymeus character and give him all to you. I'm going to be taking off the image I made of him and you can replace it with another or delete the character entirely, he's all yours.  When the world is ashes   ...   you have my permission to die.  21:53, April 20, 2013 (UTC)

Well, I do have a pretty tight schedule... -_-

...I'm just kidding. XD Of course, I would more than happy to help you plan your future story as a creative consultant. :P This is somewhat ironic as I've recently decided that I want to be an editor of fictional works recently, as a career. This would be a perfect opportunity for me in future and I think that a collaborative effort would be extremely useful for you. :D Plus it opens up a variety of options for your story's direction and could prepare me for a job in this particular line of work. :D Awesome, I look forward to working with you, and of course, I'd be open to any consulting suggests you have for my storyline. :D

In terms of Doctor Who, I liked the first episode and Cold War was particularly good. :P It was an interesting mix of comedy, history, humor, and re-invention of some of Doctor Who's classic roots. :P Hide was an excellent competitor with Blink in terms of scariest story, (Blink is my all-time favourite episode. :D) and the most recent Journey to the Center of the TARDIS provided some thrilling insight into the actual TARDIS interior, which I would love to see more of, particularly the library. :P However, I didn't like the second episode at all. :P My girlfriend is an experienced musician and thought the singing focus of the episode was terrible and I thought it was cringe-worthy how they managed to have hover bikes in space without any oxygen. There was a lot of awkward green-screening but, all in all, it's a big mix lately. :P I've heard that Neil Gaiman is writing a future episode on the Cybermen though, so I look forward to that. :D

Evils Unbound - Chapter Seven
As one of you two loyal Storyline Advisers, I figured I should give you some feedback on my thoughts of the most recent chapter of Evils Unbound. :P

Personally, I've been extremely interested in the story serial from the moment I found it, and it has certainly lived up to my expectations thus far. :P It colours in some of the darker, less defined areas of the Matoran Universe's History, plus it paints a very accurate, vivid picture of Xia, which I am very fond of. :P

The opening of the new chapter got me a little confused at first, though this was perhaps because it's been a while since I've read it. I remembered the red gem in Alxor's headgear being mentioned but, initially, I pictured Krahtek making a cameo and wasn't sure if it was a new direction you'd decided to take the story in. However, you resolved this with an interesting Jekyll-and-Hyde idea of Alxor waking up the next morning to discover the aftermath of his other side's rampage. The switch in perspective was interesting as Calxia was perhaps my favourite character of the chapter, due to all the clever references to things like the Kanoka Disks and Telescreens.

Additionally, I found the guided tour of the local museum to be somewhat amusing, particularly and I've spent the past four years volunteering as a tour guide in my local museum. XD The Mersion guide performed his role very well, and his explanation of the Stasis Tube's origin was extremely fitting. :P I don't think a tour guide would have made a deal about a member of his audience talking to himself like he did when Mersery spoke, but it serves a purpose of making Mersery appear younger, which is always a useful asset.

Furthermore I was glad to see some further development in the relationship between Mersery and Herkain. :P As far as I'm aware, Herkain and Mersery eventually part ways and follow opposing paths with her becoming something of a villain (or at least that's what I think you had happen. I might be confusing the the character with another). Thus, knowing that their friendship is under pressure due to romantic attraction was an interesting concept. I liked the account of their meal together and how fluent and laid-back their friendship was then. I believe that her absence added to that effect and certainly eludes to a future where she is no longer a part of Mersery's life. Plus the isolating effect that their parting of ways will have on Mersery reminds me of a companion parting ways with the Doctor. :P It feels that, in the long run, their growing distance is going to affect him and perhaps bring about some more wisdom to the young character. I'm very interested to see how that pans out, particularly with the romantic element. Plus the link between Araluus and Gartinus' love and Herkain's love for Mersery really added depth. Plus there's the hidden suggestion that their relationship will reflect that of the two mythical characters. :P

However, what I was pleasantly surprised to find was the section on all the legends and mythical characters of Toa Hydros'. :P Plus your mentioning of love in the Matoran Universe actually seemed to fit well. It seems a little awkward at first with love being non-canon and all but, seeing as it's between mythical characters, it still seems official. :P Plus the line: "It was often said that if there was anything stronger than the Three Virtues, it was their eternal bond" was pure gold. XD

In general, I do feel that there are some questions left unanswered. I'm aware that Mersery betrays Alxor at some point, which results in his downfall and embitterment towards the Mersion, but I don't see much of a connection between them, even at this stage. I'm assuming there will be some form of confrontation between the two in a later chapter, though I'm not too sure how they're going to meet up plausibly. I don't doubt you and I'm sure you've got the whole thing figured out, but the fact that there seem to be two separate storylines and no real connection as of yet does concern me a little. I'm assuming that the Invasion of Versuva will bring the two characters together, but the future circumstances seem a little cloudy. I'm not sure how they're going to confront each other, which I suppose is good in a sense, but at the same time it leaves me slightly doubtful. :S

But regardless, I'm sure this was one of the first things that you planned out and I look forward to seeing the story's evolution, and how you develop the relationship of Herkain and Mersery, and how Alxor fits into Mersery's future. :P

Glad to hear it. :D This is all very good news and I'm glad there's going to be a second act. I didn't realise the story was going to stretch over such a long period, but it serves as a pleasant surprise, regardless. :P

Well, I've never used Mibbit before, so I'll have to get an account and learn the ropes for a while, but that's completely understandable and I'd be happy to do that. Plus, in the worst case scenario where I cannot get Mibbit to work out for me, we always have YouTube Personal Messaging as a last resort. :P

Until next time, and I'm pleased that you can once again feel the joy of typing on a keyboard. :D I've been using my Dad's laptop lately until my old computer gets fixed and the edge of it is quite sharp, giving me marks on my wrists. :S

Anyway, I'll talk to you again soon. :D

Normally, I would love to. :/ But unfortunately I have my final History exam tomorrow and I don't feel all too prepared for it. :(

I can go on after my exam tomorrow, which would be a few hours from now, or even later on Wednesday night, but I really can't talk at the moment unfortunately. DX

Sorry about that. :/ I will make time for this as soon as I can.

Unfortunately not. :/ I've been at work all day and only just got back at few hours ago, but I'm aware this is a ridiculous time for you to be up in the morning in Australia, so I guess you're not available. :P

Currently, I work Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, from 9am - 5:30pm (GMT). Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays are perhaps better days for making contact. My main editing spree is when I get home from work, from 6pm - midnight, which I believe is early morning in Austarlia. :S

Unfortunately, I have another exam on Monday, so right now is a one-off bad time for me to communicate. I'm doing a family-thing on Tuesday, so I can be free on Wednesday if I wake up as early as possible. :P

I'm really sorry about how I've turned this into a bit of a mess. I'm still very interested in the project, I'm just having trouble adjusting to this new job and how it will affect my free time. :S

I watched it today and (you're going to hate me for saying it) ... I think it's the best end of season Doctor Who episode we've had since  Journey's End . :D I absolutely loved it and there are a tonne of thrills and funny bits but, unfortunately, it doesn't really live up to its name... if you know what I mean. ;)

I won't spoil it, but there was plenty of action mixed in with amazing twists and the biggest cliffhanger in Doctor Who history. :D You'll love it. I can't wait for November 23rd when the 50th anniversary special is out. :D

I just rewatched it on BBC iPlayer and I think you'll love it when you see it. :P It's a little implausible, but there's some great character development and distortions of the timeline. :D It's a great episode.

Well... when I say "implausible" I mean by the standards of a television show based around a time-travelling nomadic alien with two hearts, the ability to reconstruct his body and appearance a given number of times, and who has a surprising tendency to retain a human form each time. XD

Hmm, I don't think that this episode was the ultimate peak of tension. :P I think the cliffhanger made it more of a build-up in anticipation of the climactic 50th anniversary special later in the year.

Indeed, Straxx continues to amaze me, and I was very impressed with his comedic input in this episode. :P However, I'm starting to like Jenny's character and she underwent some real development in The Crimson Horror and in this episode. :D There're some great performances all around, and some very engaging suggestions about The Doctor's timeline. :P

I completely agree. XD I was expecting Paul Mcgann to be the dark figure after what he did during the Time War and had no idea who the random guy on the screen was until the caption revealed it. But indeed, I don't know how I'm going to hang on till November. :P

They were indeed. :D Strax is a regular source of joy for me and I love being able to watch them grow further. Initially I'd grown a little tired of Jenny and thought the Crimson Horror episode focused too heavily on her, but I had my mind blown by her near death and was actually rooting for her to come back. XD All three of them are amazing. :P

Plus, I recently stumbled across some Prequel clips for The Snowmen episode involving the group that I hadn't seen before. Vastra Investigates and The Great Detective. Like I said, I've never seen either of them before and I thought you'd be interested in them. :P

Ah, well I'd only just stumbled across them and figured you mightn't have seen them. :P Well, I'm not sure about that. I think part of the beauty of the trio is that we only get to see them when things really go downhill. They're a sort of rare treat and I think being overexposed to them and giving them too much attention might detract from the quality of their appearances. :P

But, regardless... I'm really hoping somebody at the BBC decides to prove me wrong and make the spin off. XD

Thank you for the link. :P For some reason this reminds me of The Shakespeare Code with the sudden spooky appearance/disappearance in a jail cell. :P

I'd all but forgotten about the prisoner character but I remember wondering about his connection to the Doctor while I was watching the episode. :P Plot-wise, it seemed a little tenuous that this random guy in a prison cell knew all about the Doctor, so I'm glad that they cleared that up with this short clip. :P

Again, thanks for the link. I probably never would've come across it otherwise. :P

Is this the Mibbit website? :P Because, in an ironic twist, I'm actually free at the moment. XD

Yeah, I realise it must be quite late in your timezone (As far as I'm aware you live in Australia, which is where I've always dreamed of living). :P Do you happen to have a link to the Mibbit chatroom? I've only ever used it once.

I'm not sure what happened there. :S I think I got kicked out because it's not letting me back on the page.

But anyway, Thode will get his rematch with Racasix in J-Day and I thought I mentioned the Patternoster Gang being similar to Skorr's band when I was reviewing Punishment. :P If I didn't then I think it's a great connection. Plus the dark and crooked setting is very Victorian London.

An idea...Are you on board?
I know I am kind of new here and you have a big job of running the CBW, but can you tell me your opnion on this plan? I think it would be a good idea to have a CBW revam of the entire bionicle story. From the canisters on shore of Mata Nui to the latest news Mr. Farshtey posts will be here. It is such a big task and idea that it should be a wiki wide story. There will be a council of orts to run it so it doesn't get dumb or inconsistent with the original story. We should also decide on who writes what and when and deal with the format. It has alot of potential. I think you should be in the head of the council due to your organisational skills. Of course, we can ad little bits like having Takanuva jooin the inika on their journey, which would make the main character of the story more consistent. And most of it could be from the eyes of Takua. That is my thoughts on this plan, so, what chya' think? Check out Millennial Shadow or DIE! (talk) 01:53, May 29, 2013 (UTC)

Unfortunately not. :( I'm going out with my girlfriend today to see The Great Gatsby and won't be back till late. I'm free all day tomorrow though. :P

Yep, I'm available just now. :P Sorry for the late reply. My dog's not well and my mum made me drive her to the vet this morning. (I'm learning to drive and I need to get used to my parent's car.)

The same one as last time? :P
