User talk:Vorred

Fresh new talk page
Here we go! If you want to message me, leave any comments here! -- 15:42, November 2, 2013 (UTC)

You got my Swank Will Have A (shortened) Fall message?

I shall change the location at once! :D (and reduce the drugs-stuff... xDDD)

Ah, I see you have also created a blank talk page. :D

Well, tonight I have some free time, so I'm going to make a conscious effort to keep making some of your pages. :P My main aims will be:
 * To bring Theran and Range's page up to date
 * To created pages for all of the other Toa (Such as Gringat, Solace and Falecía)
 * To make a Battle of Sacred Groove page

Do you have any particular pointers for these characters? I'm a little unsure of what to do for Falecía in particular.

Also, I've started working on the next chapter of Night of the Long Knives. :P

I have a question pertaining to your writing contest. Does it have to be set on Balfe-Nui? I noticed that in the map provided on the Island's page it is in close proximity to Daxia and Visorak. Would it interfere with the plot Elegy if my entry in the contest were set on either of these Islands?


 * Well, I sensed an opportunity and I grasped it. This is all part of my evil plan to indefinitely link both our storylines together! XD
 * No problem. :P I wasn't sure what to put to connect his Matoran life to his transformation into a Toa. That was just filler that I added and I made sure not to intertwine it with his character history. :P
 * Glad to hear it. :P
 * I'll change that then. :P

Oh, really? I spelled it wrong. Huh... I remember checking against that list of characters you left on my archived talk page. But, now I look back, I notice that I spelled then differently... my mistake. XD

I think that's a better choice. :P Otherwise it would've seemed like a waste of a Toa of Shadows, which are rare enough as it stands. :P

Right, I'll get to those changes tonight, then I'll probably get around to fully updating the Theran page. :P

There's a reason for that... it's called efficiency. XD I was still making the template when you spotted that. Those were the last two errors that I removed so chances are I removed them before you could get to it. :P

Understandable. :P I'd just rearranged the order of the names so Brorag wasn't last and I forgot to copy the code for the † by accident. :S Ah well, it's cleared up now. :P Have I missed anyone, and would I be right in assuming that Aescela is a member of the Patriots now?

Okey doke. :P That was going to be my follow-up question: are the Patriots actually defunct now? XD I figured that, if they were still in existence, Theran would have usurped Solunus. I'll make that change. :P

Hey Vorred can you send me a picture of a black Akaku Nuva on the ground? I ask because I need it for the cover of Hollow, I tried searching the enternet for but to no avail.Artek the crazy one (talk) 00:25, November 6, 2013 (UTC)Artek the crazy oneArtek the crazy one (talk) 00:25, November 6, 2013 (UTC)

Chat? Right now? :3

would you have any problem if I wrote a history for Nuva and a friend

ok, I forgot about the story, would it be ok if this was just one of his adventures before the battle with the other two beings? i made a good version of him too I'll upload it soon   23:58, November 8, 2013 (UTC)

I mean good as in a hero, your version is WAY better   23:59, November 8, 2013 (UTC)

ok, I'd love to enter the writing contest but was planning this as a stop motion, I might enter with something else though, here's the banner depicting a villain from it who i used many special effects on in my picture editor to make him look like a slightly misshapen shadow, i used my laptops camera to take it so the arms which are different are reversed. 13:48, November 9, 2013 (UTC)

actually, I'll write the story then make it into a stop motion  14:01, November 9, 2013 (UTC)

chapter 1 of from the depths is up! I'll make a stop motion of it when I'm done writing  14:25, November 9, 2013 (UTC)

I just noticed something. On Viretha's pages it says shes a Le-Matoran but isn't she an Onu-Matoran?

Yeah back when I firrst saw her (in Uprising) I thought she was a Matoran of Air. Thanks for the clarity :P.

Oh, it was just some grammar errors, but I prefer to warn people before messing around on their pages :P

Leaving Chaos in his wake ... since 1999! 20:48, January 2, 2014 (UTC)

Audio cast
Why hello, my fellow Makuta :3

You're featured in the Ceasame cast too! :D

The Amazing Ceasame - Lines
Hello there. Just came by to check how it goes with the lines. I would like to receive your lines this thursday as I will soon start working on the trailer.

Yes, I am the one you didn't wanna do :P

You are now the voice of Thok in The Skakdi Life. Cheers. &mdash; I'm a  Koala  21:37, November 11, 2013 (UTC)

how did you get a picture to be your custom signature?ToaTusk 15:20, November 12, 2013 (UTC)

ok so i get basically how to upload and do the sinature do i replace the name file.jpg in the link thing you told me to copy into my preferences with the name of the photo i want because when i did that the link thing becomes my sigToaTusk (talk) 16:40, November 12, 2013 (UTC)

Yup. That's exactly what I was going for. :D A mix of nostalgic with the modern and original.

And if you like that picture... you'll love. ;)

Additionally, I placed another Bricklink order, and guess what piece I bought. :D

XD Those were some of my first ever pictures taken using water. :P In that background you can see the same waterfall that Jekkai falls down. But yes, I suppose it is a Hero Factory fail compilation. XD

Well, it's a female character who made a running dive to tackle a villain, only for him to swat her aside with a club, thus knocking her into the water. :P I was planning on making a Hero Factory comic a while ago but I couldn't do it because Chogger was the only comic creator I had access to. Ah well, hopefully that'll change by Christmas. :D

Really? The silver Kanohi are expensive? I knew the misprints weren't cheap but the first thing I bought on Bricklink was a silver Hau Nuva for $2. :P

It is a particular piece that will allow me to build yet another of your characters. :P My goal is the build the entire Farside Toa team in their Uprising forms so I can take pictures of Night of the Long Knives. However, I'm extremely low on shoulder armor and I'm still missing Brorag and Dorvan's Kanohi. :/ Ah well, I'll hopefully be able to get ahold of them in future... Any guesses how? XD

The piece in question is a green Pakari Nuva, along with a few other Kanohi Nuva. :P So now you can see what Dorvan would've looked like with a colored Kanohi. :D

hey vorred, I heard you'll be voicing Tazzuk in the amazing ceasame! congrats! also, I'll probably voice Shulze in that same show! 02:14, November 14, 2013 (UTC)

Well, I have a small Hero Factory storyline. It's not exactly a huge project and I've never really had time to focus entirely on it, but I like to think that I have some interesting stuff on there, and one of my creations is the site's mascot. :P

Wow, I didn't think they could be so expensive. O.o

Well, I was planning on assembling the team for my own amusement, but I suppose that too. :P Plus it'd be useful for the Adventures of Vorred and BobTheDoctor27 crossover... we could even mix them up and give Range my silver Hau Nuva in our divergent storyline. XD

Yes... buying masks works out so much better than stealing them from peoples' houses... last time I tried that I got arrested for stealing a children's toy. XD

Greetings Vorred the Epik! :P I'm just here to let you know that my plans for Turaga Bralter (and the other 3 Turaga as well) have changed. They will make a couple of appearances in Of Death and Infinite Darkness. They won't play a big role story wise (and they still won't die ;)) but their role will be big outside the story. On another note, I do plan on getting the next chapter of The Darkness Consumes out this weekend. Have a nice day/night!

Yes I am. I can't wait to start writing about her! As soon as I'm done with The Darkness Consumes I'm gonna jump into Of Death and Infinite Darkness. I enjoy giving her armor upgrades and have plans for volcaninc survival armor :3. (When I type it it sounds like I'm overdoing it :/)

I gave Chorrum a little bit of extra backstory, which ties into the past of Solace and provides an explanation as to how he came into contact with Aescela in the first place. :P

Additionally, I REALLY need to make Chorrum's response to those last two letters. XD

Awesome. :D It has indeed been archived in a previous version of my talk page. XD I'll get onto that soon.

I know I said I was gonna try to get another chapter of The Darkness Consumes out..... but I didn't have time :P. I'll release 2 chapters next week instead :P.

i always wondered how thoks voice sounds.......i guess ill find out soon enough. 17:07, November 18, 2013 (UTC)

yeah sorry about that but as you can see i screwed up my sig so i gotta fix that cuz ima noob so yeah its me "toatusk"

uh yeah thanks....i guess. Do you have a recomended pixel size for my sig ,because when i enter mine and hit save red writing appears above the signature changing area saying "#px"    -ToaTusk

Hey there Vorred. :D I've decided to get serious about the production behind Zero Hour. So I've asked my parents for the comic making software this Christmas, but I just wanted to check, it was Comic Life 2 that you recommended, right? :P

Oh, so it's not this? :S Wow, I was literally about to send this to my mum. XD

Thanks for the save. :D

So is this a program that can be downloaded online? :P

Signature
Hi, I was wondering how you got that cool image in your signature. It looks great, I'd like to make something like that.

Falcon Lord (talk) 20:32, November 19, 2013 (UTC)

Thank you so much for the link. :P I'll talk to my mum about downloading it, then I'll be able to make some real progress with Zero Hour. :D

By the way, I have something planned for your birthday. ;)

Ah, indeed. Being an 18 year old myself I can promise you, the fun stops... and you develop a strange attraction to female Toa of Stone and taxes...

Perhaps. :P I've taken a few new pictures of Aescela, which I've added to my last MOC Blog, but I have an original idea involving a Bricklink order. ;)

Busted... XD

Are you kidding? There'll be riots in the Recent Changes if you take her away from us! XD

Fear not, for I shan't say a word. ;) I too am a believer in surprises. And I'm fairly confident that you won't see this one coming. :D

I look forward to it. :D I've also started thinking about my blog update, though I usually don't post them until the final two days of the month, so I've got a little while. :P

Okey doke, fair enough. :P I'm still a little confused over when exactly Lost takes place. Is it during the events of Merall and Chaeus' time on the Southern Island Chain? :P

A few weeks? O.o ...Aw man... This mean's I'll have to rewrite part of the masterpieces that are Merall, Chaeus and Brorag's pages! XD

Now that really is interesting, and I can't wait to find out the answers. :D

One brief question: would the Farside Toa have had Toa Mata forms or did the circumstances of their transformation make them Toa Nuva? :P

Ah, I suppose that Elegy will bring more answers. I eagerly anticipate the next installment and the much-needed answers. :P The circumstances of this transformation are truly intriguing and I can't wait to see them explained. :P

RE: German Wiki
1,900 × 800 are the recommended dimensions. If you want to, you can use File:Oasis Background.png as reference to when you're designing it.

Also the link above already links to it. &mdash; I'm a  Koala  00:30, November 21, 2013 (UTC)

so i was just reading uprising for the fifth time and have realized something. Cheus(i think i spelled that right) was a member of the main heroes the so why did you kill him off so fast in the series? Did you have a reson for that or did you just not like his character as much as the others? "Toatusk" P.s i signed with that cuz my sigs still screwed up :(

Viretha
Do you mind if I use Viretha? I made her in BobTheDoctor's Zero Hour Matoran style, and she is teal and black instead of green and black. Zombiejiger (talk) 16:24, November 22, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, and she is now driving a giant yellow mech. I just finished building it. Zombiejiger (talk) 21:27, November 22, 2013 (UTC)

Hey there Vorred. :P I've been working hard on Night of the Long Knives lately and was just wondering about the undead virus. I remember I asked this question in the past but, unfortunately, I can't seem to find the answer in my talkpage anymore. How would the virus affect a Turaga? :P

Thanks. :P Well, at least my short-lived Turaga character will go out with a wisdom bang. XD So does this mean that an infected Turaga wouldn't fall under Nuva's control? :P

It just occurred to me a few weeks ago that your contest has a deadline. :P I couldn't really be bothered writing it for the past month or so due to Besieged, Falling in the Black and university work. But I'm finally motivated by the project again and I've changed my plans for the next chapter. :P Rest assured, Merall will be awesome. XD

I've actually drawn a handful of Forgotten Warriors in my spare time and I might build them when I get home this weekend. :P

I'm writing away and my goal is to get the chapter done within the next 24 hours. :P Any guesses why? ;)

XD Rest assured, it will be quite awesome. ;)

Would they become more aggressive in this time, perhaps? Or would they just sprout the black gunge typical of the infection and be unchanged until they died a few hours later? :P

Well, tomorrow's a special day. ;)

Happy birthday!
So I hear it's your birthday. :D

18, right? Good milestone.

Have a nice day. (And yes, I posted this on the 26th my time, but it's the 27th your time, so it counts, right?) &#91;Chro&#93; (talk) 00:20, November 27, 2013 (UTC)

Dammit Chro, you beat me! XD

Happy Birthday Vorred. :D Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take anymore pictures to fulfill your water fetish, but I did prepare this. :D

Oh yeah, and don't forget to check this masterpiece out. :P

Have a good one, my friend! Don't party too hard. ;)

Happy Birthday my friend ;D I hope you will have a great time today.

LONG LIVE VORRED!!

Take care and Happy Birthday buddy! :D

12:07, November 27, 2013 (UTC)

What about if the Turaga was killed and brought back to life by the curse? Would he be a hollow husk or an agressive shadow of his fomer self, or completely immune for a few hours? :P

Happy B-day!

Da Matoro58 (talk) 14:46, November 27, 2013 (UTC)

Oh... damn. I just posted the chapter. XD

Just thought I'd join in and wish you a happy birthday! Hope you had a good day!

Pictures
Happy birthday again, remember ages ago when I asked if I could make you a matoran Brorag? Well I did, and here is the picture >

Tex499 (talk) 11:38, November 28, 2013 (UTC)

Just thinking about what to do for your writing contest, since I'm planning to dig into Vastara's past a bit. Any ideas or notes on her personality or backstory I should know about in order to make it as close to your idea of the character as possible? --- Deus  Vult!  20:00, November 29, 2013 (UTC)

Haunted Origins
Hey, Vorred. Next summer/early spring, I'm planning on making a comic story known as Haunted Origins. And I want to possibly put other user's characters in it. But, I sadly have almost no masks to make some of your important characters. But, I could make Vastara :) So, I decided to make her in her Patriots form, and here's what I got:

You can leave a message on my talkpage or something like that! :) The Invasion Has Begun (talk) 01:11, November 30, 2013 (UTC)



Mata Nui, I forgot to wish you a Happy Birthday. How could I. I remember looking at your Page a few days ago, telling myself "Oh, it's Vorred birthday in a few days. Gotta not forget to congratulate him!", and just that happened.

Anyway, I hope you had a great 18th (you turned 18, didn't you? XP) birthday, partied hard and still will continue your BIONICLE activity despite your adultness xD

Herzlichen Glückwunsch, again! :D

Invader39's version of Vastara made me want to make one as well (although I had been wanting to before as well :P) so I made a revamp of her based on this version. So what do you think? :P (I'm too lazy to try making the feet right now :/).

By any chance is it too late to ask for a character of mine to appear in Elegy?

Yours kindly Tex499 (talk) 23:45, November 30, 2013 (UTC)

Actually I guess it is just the color scheme >.<. I absolutly love how the black and lime look together :D. Is her v5 the way she's gonna look in Elegy? Can't wait to see it! Would you mind if I consider using her in my alternate universe? :P

Remind me...what's the deadline on the writing contest?

Thanks! I better get going on the story then O.O Just had a computer virus that held things up a bit...

Hey there, Vorred. :P

I just wanted to drop in a quick message to let you know that I've started work on Part 5 of Night of the Long Knives and that I'm really looking forward to this chapter. I feel really motivated and the script that I have planned is inspiring and original. :P I'm putting a lot of heart into it and I've got a lot of really good surprises that you might like. I'm planning on Merall and Dorvan coming across a group of Undead that are being called in to attack the Farside Village. However, I'm not sure how to depict the leader of this group. I've tossed around the idea of this being an Upper Class Steltian, a Toa, a female, a Turaga, even a Skakdi but none of them really seem to work. I've considered using some of my own characters, but they're all too big for the Toa Nuva to stand a chance against and my idea is that Merall should be evenly matched with this figure.

I plan on building MOCs for all of the characters (I think I'm just going to order a black Pakari Nuva and paint it silver because it'll be ridiculously expensive otherwise) and I think I've done about five moderate Forgotten Warriors thus far. I'd be more than happy to build and write for whatever type of character you want to see. :P Do you have any suggestions?

I'm very glad that you liked it. :D That scene with the Le-Matoran was a real personal favorite of mine and the idea to turn the tables was something I was really proud of. :P It starts off with the readers suspecting the Matoran of being a murderer of some helpless Turaga but, the way it ends up, the Matoran is so noble that he doesn't even want his greatness to outshine the Toa and won't even tell them his name. :P Oh who am I kidding. Why am I analyzing my own story? XD

Once again, it was a joy to write with so many wonderful characters and opportunities to provide cameos, like Range's lazy afternoon at such a climactic moment in Dorvan and Merall's story. XD Hopefully people will get the humor behind that. :P

Well, the suggestions that I made in the chapter were actually intentionally wrong. If they'd just guessed who they'd been before then it would ruin the amnesia effect. :P Merall was meant to be some kind of fighter who was familiar with murder, and she made the assumption that she was therefore a detective. In reality, she was able to analyse the scene because she herself has been on the opposite end of that situation, or so I imagine. As for Dorvan, I see him as an artist of general sorts, dabbling in poetry and painting. He has that friendly expression and innocence that Brorag did. :P

XD Very true. I'm pleased to know that I was able to paint such a visual picture. I was worried that setting wouldn't come across how I wanted it to (hence the map I drew of it) so it's very reassuring to hear that wasn't the case. :P That setting was inspired by some of my Duke of Edinburgh walks in which we see really substantial valleys and cliff faces. I think that I could actually film a snapshot of that scene further up the stream in my backyard once I paint a Pakari Nuva. :P Which reminds me, I'm going to take a picture of my Farside Toa so far at the weekend. There's a certain irony in that I have two green Kakama Nuvas and a white Pakari Nuva yet Brorag and Dorvan are without masks. XD

As for Chapter 5, Dorvan essentially gets abducted by this band of Forgotten Warriors and Merall goes off on a one-woman mission to get him back. :P During this chapter she'll be a lot more combat-capable and brutal than in Chapter 4. :P

I agree with you that introducing another species would be weird, especially with the height difference and the Toa-based story. I'd considered making a downscaled Toa Mata version of Toa Caliga and giving the fans a Caliga/Merall showdown but I like the idea of this female Toa of Air. They're rarely done and Mata Green is a nice color to exploit. :P

Thanks for the advice, and I'm very pleased indeed that Chapter 4 entertained you. :D

Hi Vorred,

For my entry in your contest, Under the Carver's Knife, do you think I should do five or ten chapters? Thanks! -

Well, even if it doesn't win one of the top places, I still have the power to write in the backstory and canonize it myself. XD

Which reminds me, what would happen if I did win seeing as two of my characters have already been featured? :P If that situation arose I wouldn't mind passing that right down to the person beneath me.

This is going to look so snobbish if I actually lose... XD

Or... alternatively I could just scroll down and read the end of your message. XD Do you think that I should go with that? :P Have Caliga and Merall face off? I have a horrible feeling that it would be cheating as it would automatically canonize out of my characters but... then again. XD

That scene was intentionally placed. ;) I made lots of little comments about how Merall thinks Theran and Range will probably be sleeping rough and in more danger than they are when, in reality, we know that they're nice and safe in the Farside Village. Then, when Dorvan falls down the cliff, I cut to a convenient passage of Range sitting back and relaxing. The message here is that Range and Theran have the easy life whereas Merall and Dorvan are having a much more difficult time. XD But, of course, that soon gets rectified when night falls and danger faces Theran and Range. :P

It was something that I'd also touched upon earlier with Brorag having to actually deal with and kill Chaeus after his infection, yet Range and Theran just happen upon his body and don't really have to be there to do the dirty work. :P There're lots of little inside jokes like that.

Well, I could definitely see what I can do. :P The waterfall in my backyard might look a little weird seeing as I use it so much for Zero Hour but I'll do what I can, even if I have to go further upstream. :P

I have a general idea...just a matter of how long it will take me to do each chapter. I'll determine by chapter 3 or 4 where things are going to go. I should probably go for 5, knowing as I tend to overbook myself. Anyways, how is the story so far?

Sweet. :P That's what I'll do then, to compensate for using my own character in NotLK and because I'm such a kind-hearted individual. XD

No problem. :P When I paint a mask for Dorvan I'll take plenty more pictures of them like that. I suppose that, if NotLK is canonized, these shots would work in relation to Merall hunting Caliga's Forgotten Warriors alone after they kidnap Dorvan. It's quite difficult to explain as I've only just started the chapter but I'm going to take a turn from my original plan in which Merall is stuck on her own and Dorvan is taken away, making it her (and possibly Brorag's) mission to get him back. :P

Seemingly so. XD

Yep, but these are old stories from 2009. :P I'm altering my story's canon and it makes much of the origins obsolete. It's a bit of a grey area at the moment and I'm hoping to use The Amazing Adventures of Vorred and BTD27 as a platform from which to actually begin a new origin on Spherus Magna in the core universe. :D

But a lot of the stuff I'm deleting is really quite shameful. I'm embarrassed to call it my own and a lot of it is really just so badly written that it's beyond help. :S That's why I'm having it deleted.

I'm glad you like my plan. :D I too am excited for Brorag and Dorvan's expansion, as well as the opportunity to finally have Merall and Caliga battle. :D I'm sure it will amount to the story's climax and I can't wait to build a Uprising version of Caliga. :P I've drawn diagrams of my designs and I've decided that she will end up looking like a beefed up variation of Jekkai, with an identical arm design. It should be tremendous fun. :P

Hmm, I've had a considerable amount of backlash over the topic of removing my old stories. I feel that they are an embarrassment to my current writing abilities but, given the response, I will try to think of a solution. My younger brother helped me write that story. Perhaps I'll change the authorship and say that he wrote them so as to distance it from my current work but to keep it alive. :P

I just wanted to become a new person and escape my 2008-2010 past...I could have done better things, but I didn't. I just want to be a better person here.

Hi, Vorred. I just wanted to make sure you knew that I've just uploaded my story, Heed. I just don't want it looked over or anything. Thanks! invader39 Iyre

Alright. -- Kopakamata 97  16:33, December 5, 2013 (UTC)

Chapter 5 is half-complete. I'm considering uploading part of it but I don't want to fragment it and make people read a bit of it somewhere then catch up and read it somewhere else. There is a surprise guest appearance that I think you will like and it further deepens the plot of Uprising. :D

In other news, I just made a Bricklink order for the cheapest white Kakama Nuva I could find ($3) and a black Pakari Nuva. :P

XD I'll hold it off until I've finished the chapter. :P That way you can read the full think. Who do you think the mystery character will be? :P

I have the bodies of them all assembled. I just need the masks and I can upload the pictures. :P By the end of this I'll have all of the Kanohi in their original colors (Theran and Dorvan's masks in green and red) so I could take a shots of them before and after the change. :P

Additionally, I have a silver Hau Nuva so I could mess things up and have a powerless Range. XD

Well, they are wonderful characters and, in fairness, it is very easy to build them. :P It must be a wonderful feeling. :D Seeing so many Glonors popping up really touched me, so I can't imagine how you must feel. :D I'm not sure what really compelled me to build them. Uprising made me realize "hey, the Toa Nuva designs aren't terrible! They're an iconic point in BIONICLE history." Until that point I'd adapted with the times and disliked them but now I've gone into a kind of nostalgic phase when I look back fondly at the 2001-2003 years. Uprising totally re-inspired my faith in BIONICLE. :D

Oh, no. I wouldn't pick another of my characters. XD It'll definitely be one of yours. :P One of the lesser-mentioned ones.

You'll see. ;) This character's presence also has a big impact on the way that Forgotten Warriors work in a canon perspective.

Question
I have a question: Are you going to create a comic of the winning entry? That would be a really awesome way to commemorate this contest. Anyways, thank you for this opportunity, Vorred. I'm not out to win, I'm just here to compete. Best luck to all of the entries.

Happy holidays. --Your Overlord has Spoken  07:02, December 7, 2013 (UTC)

This may be of interest to you. :P

Vorred, later on today I'll finally be able to upload the comic portion of Hollow however I'm clueless as to how I upload it. I used comic life 2 to make the comic.Artek the crazy one (talk) 00:45, December 8, 2013 (UTC)Artek the crazy oneArtek the crazy one (talk) 00:45, December 8, 2013 (UTC)

Well, they're not taken down by the stream (so they probably won't fulfill your water photography fetish), but I think these snapshots might brighten up your day. ;)



I hope you enjoyed those. :P Chapter 5 of NotLK isn't far off.

Awesome. :D I'm glad you liked Caliga. I must say, this whole NotLK has really revitalized the way in which I deal with the character. :P

The Rahi too were very fun to make. I've been working on a lot of small little 2001 Rahi to make appearances in Zero Hour as docile background characters and livestock. :P I also have a Brakas Monkey and a Fusa. :P

Well, I swapped her neck with a three-length mini lightsaber blade. It's the same length as all of the others, but it allows her to move her head from side to side. :P It's caught on her shoulder pad, which allows it to hang at an angle. :P Theran has the same piece but in red. Range and Chaeus just have regular rods and can't rotate their heads. :P

I just need two more Kanohi, and I can get the band back together. :D I even painted one of the BRAIN ATTACK shields so I could give Chaeus his proper Kopaka shield. :P

Indeed I have many opportunities to build other miscolored Toa Nuva. :P

Did you spot the Forgotten Warriors? ;)

Just to make sure: the due date for your contest is the 15th right?

I just realised something, Nuva's Mata form looks strangely like my Self-moc, guess nostalgia is great for mocing

Tex499 (talk) 09:05, December 9, 2013 (UTC)

Hmm, I'll see if I can change that in other pictures. :P

Yep, one of them is a rebuild of your original Forgotten Warriors. :D The white/blue Huna wearer. I went through Uprising and spotted a Matoran in the background using the Kanohi so I decided to just got for it. :D This way you can build the character. XD

I'm glad that you like them. :D You are indeed correct. I'll give you 1000 BTD27 points if you can guess how he conveniently loses that Kanohi. ;)

Well I'm gonna do all three today, otherwise I'll forget :/. At this time I've already got Chapter 2 typed so it shouldn't be to long. I just wish I was a better writer :P.

Well... no. An ax to the face would cut his brain in half and would prevent him from being reanimated. Thus he wouldn't be able to appear in Uprising:Chapter 4. XD

Close enough. :P I think we can safely assume Merall will have a role to play. By the way, I'm going to try my hardest to write to the end tonight then publish it later. :P

Hey, Vortex, it's Logan. I don't think I've really talked with you personally all that much. I'm glad that I'm incorporating Range and Merral in my story, though :D

I think I might want to re-read your comics. I think I read them too fast the fist time, I didn't really grasp what was going on.

Goodbye,

05:50, December 10, 2013 (UTC)

It is my top priority, though I'm continuously running into complications. I feel that I have written myself into a corner and I haven't really been able to shift that feeling until yesterday. But I've brought Merall, Dorvan, Brorag, Caliga and the five Forgotten Warriors with me to uni so I can enact the scene. I'm trying to think of a really inventive way for Merall to ambush Caliga and company and to have Brorag appear. But, rest assured, the entirety of my focus is directed towards it. :P

I've actually been looking forward to your HD version of Uprising it sounds fun :) 20:20, December 10, 2013 (UTC)

Contest entry
I've finished the entry, here's a link: Fall

Falcon Lord (talk) 00:44, December 11, 2013 (UTC)

From the Depths has been completed and is ready to be judged for the writing contest   01:12, December 11, 2013 (UTC)

Chapter 5 is up. :P Unfortunately I had to split my plan in half once again seeing as it was approaching 20 pages on a word document, which is clearly too big for a single chapter. The Epilogue shouldn't take too long and I'm well into Chapter 6. The difficult part is done now and I should just be able to finish in time. :P

Chapter 5 is the climax of the story where Dorvan is abducted, Caliga is introduced as the villain, and a familiar face returns to the story. :P

I've already rewritten my story, gave it a different topic, and published it, though I prefer if you didn't place my name on who competed as I'm not proud with the story. :P

What so you think of you having Tazzuk's role in The Amazing Ceasame?

I know who I am! I&#39;m a dude called Matoro58 (talk) 02:08, December 11, 2013 (UTC)

I'm very pleased to hear that indeed. :P Writing for Xafri was a real pleasure and the character has always fascinated me. :P Her other-worldly knowledge and desire to right the wrongs of others really does make her quite Shakespearean. She is a strong female character. :P

I'm also glad you enjoyed the Range-bashing too. XD Whenever I try and bring comic relief or dramatic irony into the story, I usually resort to the characters trash-talking Range.

Oh so you read this on a train? :D Very nice. I remember reading Uprising on my phone back when I was volunteering at a local museum. :P So many fond memories. :D

I'm also fascinated to see how what I've written links into Elegy. XD Maybe the Spirit Stars? Maybe a character point that I made? I have no idea what it could be, but I eagerly await the point where I can find out. :D

I do, however, have one question; do you plan on having Merall use her Kanohi to suffocate someone in Elegy? :P I'd planned on having her do that later on in the story as I don't think anyone has thought to use a Kaukau Nuva like that before and it's a dirty tactic that I can imagine Merall resorting to when all else fails. But, if you've planned to use it already then I can think of other ways. :P

Wow... I never thought I'd be the only one who hasn't finished by this point. XD All of my free time is being directed towards Chapter 6 and the Epilogue, though I don't really know how it's going to turn out and I'm not too proud of my writing in it thus far as it's all about fighting, which I know next to nothing about. :S Ah well, I'll work around it. :P

Also, I did a little something for you in the Featured Story Voting that you might like. :P

Ah, interesting. :P I'm sure I'll kick myself for not guessing when you release it. XD

Okey doke. :P I'm starting to feel a little better about this next chapter. A lot of the stuff that I've written up to this point has been grounded in your universe with topics and events that we know to have taken place. This most recent chapter, however, feels strange as it doesn't really have those references.

There is, however, one reference that I'm very proud of quite early on, in which the characters return to a setting that we saw in Uprising. :P

Ah, yes. I'd voted for Jareroden as I've always been a fan of the complex TECHNIC design and because he seems to have fallen out of the wiki's attention lately in spite of being a prominent and inspiring member of the community. I was tempted to reassign my vote for Merall when you nominated her, but I felt it would be wrong, especially since she just had that really long run on the main page as a Featured Article. :P If they can't think of anything new to write about the character then the Featured Articles can tend to just include large passages taken straight from from the actual page. If Merall won a second time I have a strong feeling that would happen.

But the character definitely is a deep one. :P She's known across the site and is one of the few creations to actually have her own dedicated fanbase, the other big ones being Glonor and Range. And, of course, you know I think she's awesome. XD

No problem

What I meant was how are you feeling of having Tazzuk's role? I know who I am! I&#39;m a dude called Matoro58 (talk) 15:01, December 11, 2013 (UTC)

Waiting for trailer seems exciting. And it's even harder to wait for the Pilot. I know who I am! I&#39;m a dude called Matoro58 (talk) 16:20, December 11, 2013 (UTC)

Hmm, you do raise a good point. I'm not sure. I might change my vote later on, but I think I'll stick with Jareroden for the moment solely because Merall did just have a spot on the main page for so long. But you are right. It is a featured creation and it won't be the same picture now, which does make a difference. I was imagining her Patriots form being on the page. We'll see. :P

Chapter 6 is going a lot more smoothly now. I'm 8 pages in and roughly halfway through. I want to have Merall do something spectacular and dramatic to make her look badass but I'm struggling to do so. :/ I don't think this chapter's going to come out with the effect that I'd wanted. But we'll see. :P I'll rewrite it before I post it and hopefully I'll be able to get rid of my remaining grievances by that point.

I really like your new avatar, by the way! :D It looks extremely professional and lively. :D

Hey Vorred, I tried uploading my comic but when I pressed export there were alot of options but I did eventually get them saved as images. However when I tried to upload them the pictures they would only show up if I was editing the page. Could you provide some more advice?Also I'm using an apple laptop, will that complicate the process?Artek the crazy one (talk) 23:52, December 11, 2013 (UTC)Artek the crazy oneArtek the crazy one (talk) 23:52, December 11, 2013 (UTC)

I apologize for not being clear, when I put the pictures on a new page of mine they showed up there but when I pressed preview my pictures weren't shown, all that was shown was the writer's template:pArtek the crazy one (talk) 22:09, December 12, 2013 (UTC)Artek the crazy oneArtek the crazy one (talk) 22:09, December 12, 2013 (UTC)

Hey Vorred. :/

I don't think I'm going to be able to finish Night of the Long Knives over the next 24 hours. :/ I just got dumped.

It was nearly two years, this March. :/

It's OK. :P I just wanted to alert you to the current situation, which is the fact that I probably won't be able to finish NotLK before the deadline. However, that being said, I do find that my writing can improve when I'm depressed. :P We'll see. I just wanted to let you know seeing as it would affect my entry this close to the deadline. Thanks for the support. :P

In other news, my Bricklink order arrived today and I now have Brorag's Kakama Nuva. :P I'll paint the extra Pakari Nuva silver tonight and will hopefully get a group picture tomorrow morning. :P

Is there a list of entries into your contest? I'm interested in reading the other stories people have written. --Your Overlord has Spoken  03:11, December 15, 2013 (UTC)

Well, believe it or not, I may actually be able to finish in time. XD

I did indeed sort things out, though we still have some serious problems and things aren't perfect. :/ My girlfriend's been under masses of stress and hasn't told me about it until today. We're currently on a break, which isn't ideal, but things are looking up. :P

Regarding NotLK, I can definitely scrape the Epilogue together over the next few hours and I'm in the final few paragraphs of Part 6. :P It may not be perfect by the time I enter it, but I doubt I will change much afterwards. :P It's not as bad as I thought it was and I'm happy to send it in. :P I may revise small parts of it in future, but it's very much on the right lines towards completion. :P Part 6 should be up within the next half hour and the Epilogue soon after. :P

As for the Farside Toa, I took two pictures. :P One of them with their normal colored Kanohi, and one that is canon. They're both in the New Files. :P Dorvan's Kanohi is pretty convincingly painted, isn't it? XD

Thank you, that's very kind. :)

I'm nearly finished with the Epilogue, though I feel like a student handing in a late homework submission to a teacher. XD

Part 6 just got posted (not sure if I mentioned it) and I'm very near the end of the Epilogue. It'll probably be up by the time you read this message. :P

Wonderful. :D I'm very glad to hear that. In reality, the paint job is closer to grey than silver and is definitely duller. But, looking at these pictures myself, it really is quite hard to tell. XD

Thanks! I didn't see my entry, Under the Carver's Knife, though. Just want to make sure that it gets included. --Your Overlord has Spoken  23:06, December 15, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. The story was kind of thrown together last minute, probably accounting for my lower scores. Apologies. Anyways, thank you for reviewing it. I'll improve my writing in future stories. --Your Overlord has Spoken  17:36, December 16, 2013 (UTC)

Wow, Hollow did better than I expected. As for the corrections I could handle that, but I'm a bit confused isn't Balfe-Nui where your story takes place?

You are correct, they did want to go there, and there is some tweaking that needs to be done with Hollow so I guess I'd best put on my editing bootsArtek the crazy one (talk) 19:05, December 17, 2013 (UTC)Artek the crazy oneArtek the crazy one (talk) 19:05, December 17, 2013 (UTC)

Alright, Hollow has now been edited to be better fit the cannon, the only real thing I fixed though is the Ga-Matoran's description of Balfe-Nui but it makes all the difference;) Also I've added another sentence to the end which should give the story an eerie ending, when it says 6 lost heroes I was referring to Team Awsome the Farside Toa.Artek the crazy one (talk) 21:53, December 17, 2013 (UTC)Artek the crazy oneArtek the crazy one (talk) 21:53, December 17, 2013 (UTC)

Can you tell me what to fix?

That's perfectly fine and very democratic. :P I was the last to get my entry in so it stands to reason that I should be last to judged. I have absolutely no problem with that and I hope you enjoyed the chapters. :)

One question that I do have though pertaining to the judging system is the final mark. You grade them out of 40 but there are 41 points in the tally with the Compliance with Canon one. I was just wondering what the deal is with that one? :P Is it intentional?

To be honest, I did better than I expected XD. I'm still not a good writer but the best way is through practice and critque. Thank you for being "harsh" :P. And for making such a great contest :P.

Fair enough. :P Like I said before, I'm at odds with how I feel about Chapter 6 because it's so battle-orientated. But, aside from that, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. :) The whole thing was an extremely fun experience.

Currently, I'm rooting for Black Plague to become canon (And not just so I can have an excuse to make a Danza (Remains Alternate Universe) page). XD I'd anticipated that it would do well and it fills in some of Glonor's past quite effectively. :P

Oh, I know exactly who Viro13 is. ;)

I've followed all of the reviews closely up till this point. :P I think I'd have to agree with your points, though I do like how the story gives mention to Danza and Chorrum, both of whom haven't had a voice up till this point. But, ultimately, I do feel that you are right. :P

Bobdo... is only slightly better than "Bad Bob" interesting... XD M1 is a little outdated since I changed my username. :P BTD27 seems to be my most popular nickname. How about Bob or Doctor of Bob/ The Doctor (Chicken Bond uses those frequently). I don't really mind Bobdo. :) I doubt I'd get offended... unless people start calling me BlobTheDoctor. XD

I haven't read them mainly because of the language barrier, the fact they're on a different wiki, and because I'm just too lazy. XD Do you think I should read them with a translator? :P

I still think The Doctor is far more badass. XD

-- Bob  do

Nah, that was just a one-off. XD Though maybe it is time to change my sig...

Fractures/Ruins? O.o How coincidental. XD

I had a little time on my hands so I created the Vastara and Gesikk pages. :P Neither of them are fully developed yet and only go up till their first appearances in Chapters 2 and 3 of Patriots, but they're no longer red links now. :D

I'm dying to make the Nuva page seeing as he's your main villain but I know too little about him or his backstory. Is he even a Toa? XD I have no way of knowing.

No problem. :) I added a little something sweet to both pages and I intend to flesh them out more. Also, I'll be tackling the Protosteel Worm page soon. XD

Okey doke. :P I'll probably do that at some point. I also need to do pages for some more of those side-line characters like Jecon, Sycoo and Gringat.

Yeah, sure. :P You mean mibbit, right? I'm free for an hour just now, then I have to go to dinner, which will probably take 45 minutes. But, after that, I've got the whole night off. :P Shall we book a session in around 2 hours time? :P

Germany is one hour ahead of the UK so that should work out fine. :) Are you sure you want to leave it till that time? I should be back an hour before that. :P

I just got back. :P

Yeah, I'm free just now. Are you still online? :P

I didn't think I would win, it was slightly rushed and just wasn't written well, I hope you'll still read my stories, they're getting better (new blog post)

Cool! :D
By the powers confered to me by the amazingly kind and selfless BTD27, I choose Zaria (Shasa Alternate Universe).

Thank you very much for the manner. :P It shall sit right at the top of my various awards to be seen by all who scroll down my user page. :D

It was the right thing to do. :P If you count Chorrum I already have a considerable number of characters in your story... it's a pity most of them tend to get killed off though. XD

Awesome. :P I shall return to editing some more of your pages in the near future. Thank you very much for holding the contest and thank you very much for voting me winner. :D

The Nuva page has been created. :P

Also, as I was saying, there is a legitimate reason why I had the Turaga slice off the Le-Matoran's arm in Night of the Long Knives. Can you guess why? :D

I've given it some thought and have decided to choose [Skullex] for the Elegy cameoArtek the crazy one (talk) 18:06, December 22, 2013 (UTC)Artek the crazy oneArtek the crazy one (talk) 18:06, December 22, 2013 (UTC)

It was quite fun to write. Nuva is an interesting villain and you've certainly set him up as a mysterious character. :P

I actually made a very similar creation back in '04. He was essentially a Toa of Earth with the gunmetal armor and an infected Hau. :P I created him as the son of Teridax. That was a long time ago, though. Nuva has always struck me as a good villain, and it's not often that a Hau actually works on a character. :D

It's because I plan on building them. :D The Le-Matoran is a Tohunga. One of my black Tohunga arms snapped when I moved house and I intend to use that piece on a broken Matoran. :P A picture of the Turaga can be found here. :P

Ok. I have an Moc of him but I haven't taken pictures yet. I can get you a couple of photos later or just give you a description now, whichever you prefer.

Falcon Lord (talk) 11:44, December 23, 2013 (UTC)

Hey, I've been meaning to ask you about this for a while but never got around to it. If Tilira was imprisoned by the third Toa/Great Being/something inside the Kanohi Tilira, then it stands to reason that Nuva would have been imprisoned inside the Kanohi Nuva. This was what my entry was going to be about (Nuva's resurrection, so to speak) before I finally decided to drop out, so I was just curious to see if my reasoning was correct.

I change my mind, I see that your parts are limited so I'll donate a more simpler, less part consuming character: Lomoka, I don't have a picture of him but he's basically an Onu-Matoran in the simple Metru-Nui format, he wears a black Hau but silver works too:)Artek the crazy one (talk) 21:58, December 23, 2013 (UTC) Artek the crazy oneArtek the crazy one (talk) 21:58, December 23, 2013 (UTC)

Well I can't wait to see the character develop over the course of Elegy. :P It would be interesting to see a scene or two from his perspective now that he thinks he has killed Tilira. :P

Yup. :P I did order all those Kanohi Nuva for a reason you know. XD Of course, I'll need to wait for better weather as my garden is pretty dead at the moment, but I'll take more photos. :P

It was somewhat obvious, considering it would be illogical to imprison them in two different ways.

Really? I don't believe you stated that on the blog at all, but then again you could have done it cryptically so nobody would notice. XD My story would have revolved around a Toa of Shadow named Saeros who was a member of a Nuva worshipping cult who were searching for the mask, and, through a messy battle of undead, Toa, Matoran and a scouting patrol of Boggarak, would end up acquiring it and placing it on himself to bring Nuva back.

It was never particularly well developed, as the majority of the two or so pages I've written were written on the 15th. :P

Had to change it from a redlink.

I know who I am! I&#39;m a dude called Matoro58 (talk) 15:18, December 24, 2013 (UTC)

Hey, Vorred. Merall will be introduced in Chapter Three of On, and I'd like to know more about her personality. How does she act? Is her voice deeper than most female Toa? Is her voice gravelly or clear? Pretty much give me all the information about Merall's personality that you have.

Thanks,

Next time we have a Wiki Metru chat, I have something to show you. ;)

Thanks for the message. :) This past week has been very trying and I just haven't been able to bring myself to edit. I'm currently working on a new December blog post but my heart's not really into it and it's taking a while. :P

I've gotten over the worst of the depression now. :P The main problem was that she wasn't talking to me and I was driving myself insane over it. :P But now we're talking again and we're at least friends. She still loves me, but our relationship just got intense and I was being a colossal jerk to her over the last few months. :P We're trying to put that behind us and move on as friends, so not all hope is lost. :P

I appreciate the support, and fear not. I'm no longer critically depressed like I was a few day ago. :) Merry Christmas to you. I hope you had a wonderful day. :)

By Mata Nui... your badass main character is equally matched by a Matoran. XD

Yeah. :/ But at least she waited until I was back home with my family. :P If she'd have broken it to me while I was alone at uni... I really don't know what I would've done. :P Some pretty dark things have been going through my mind lately, but the worst is definitely over, and we are still good friends. :)

Sure thing. :) Message me when you want to go on. I have a blog post to write. :P

Looks fine to me. :P I can't see any scratches or misprintings so I have no problem. :)

I included a surprise piece in your little polybag. ;) I still need to send it though.

Merall Drawing


Hey Vorred. I'm drawing a picture of Merall, as she is in my story, but I'd like your input for the colors. Should her skin be grey, or brown. What colors would you like her armor and Kanohi to be? What color hair would she have?

&mdash; Logan Woerner   (Blog) 20:10, December 28, 2013 (UTC)

Hallo Vorred. Wie bist du? Wie findest du Rock Bottom?

Now that my urge to say something I learned in German class to somebody is appeased, allow me to apologize for any grammatical errors I may have made in my first three sentences. I've only been taking the class since September, after all.

Anyways, I've run into a slight dilemma. Back in October you submitted Aescela to make an appearance in Rock Bottom. However, I have been unable to find a way to work a Matoran with a missing leg into the story at this time, as none of the roles that are still being chosen are suited for such a character. I was wondering if you had any ideas as to what Aescela's occupation would be in Mahri Nui, and in turn how she would appear. Thanks in advance.

When do expect Elegy will be out,or at least part one of it? Toa  Tusk  23:36, December 28, 2013 (UTC)

Howdy, Vorred. :P

Recently I've been rooting through my DVD cabinet and it turns out that I don't actually have a spare copy of the first season of Doctor Who. :/ It's actually just a DVD that has the first two episodes on it. I thought that this would be more appropriate as an introduction to the show, though do keep in mind that it's from 2005 and is already quite dated. :P

Anyway, I should be able to send my parcel off soon. Like I said, it has a few little extra bits in it. Unfortunately, because there is such a heavy drinking tradition here in Scotland, the post doesn't start up again until the 3rd January because they're all still drunk, so that's the earliest I can send it. Plus I need to buy a special type of parcel for the DVD.

Anyway, have a happy New Year! :D

Hmmm, perhaps I should ask me German teacher about that next chance get... :P

Anyways, I don't exactly feel comfortable portraying Aescela without her injury. It's become a part of the character, a defining characteristic. Like how someone becomes known for one thing they did or have. Aescela was a side character, a figure of no importance. Then she lost her leg and became just as popular as some of your other characters. It just wouldn't feel right to represent her otherwise.

Additionally, the presence of an injured Matoran in Mahri Nui makes perfect sense. It'd be insurmountably unrealistic for an entire village to sink into the ocean, killing hundreds while those that survive remain unscathed. The only problem is that these injured Matoran would end up rather useless, provided they survived the natural hazards. I'd love to show that somehow, but with my current plot it just doesn't fit, unless she just makes a cameo in the Healer's hut at some point. :/

Hey, thanks for the critique! I don't take anything you said as an offense. I love my works to be picked apart and analyzed, so that I can make them better :) I was hoping to make an improved version of Merall anyway, so I can change it to portray her faithfully. I am sorry about showing too much skin; it's a tendency of mine that I need to break. And bulking up drawings has never been my strong suit. I'll make the improvements and modifications for V2, for sure. If you ever have a problem with how Merall is portrayed, let me know as well. I want each character to be as close in personality to their owners' vision of it.

&mdash; Logan Woerner   (Blog) 18:57, December 31, 2013 (UTC)

I was just re-reading patriots and thought "How did you make the kanohi Tilira?" and am I right in guessing it's a mix of the Ignika and Anthron (well in appereance at least)?

Hiya there,

Just leaving a message  to tell you there's a little page error on the Vorred MOC page, at the Early life section.

Sincerely,

ChaoSpaceMar (talk) 18:08, January 1, 2014 (UTC)

I'm going to get the parcel sent off tomorrow. :P In a few hours it should be en route to you.

Correction: I'll send it tomorrow. XD My mother and I went out into town to get the parcel but we didn't get a chance to go to the post office as we had hoped due to unforeseen circumstances. But she has promised to take it to the post office and get it sent off tomorrow. :P

I included quite a few little surprises. ;) I hope you enjoy the pieces!

To be honest, at this point Aescela won't make any appearance of importance in Rock Bottom. I will try and incorporate her more in later serials, when I have more of a freedom with what I have to do. Rock Bottom is largely a setup serial, introducing plots, settings and characters that will be important to the storyline as a whole. As such, I am terribly limited by what I have already planned out.

Anyways, what do you think of the Chapter that has already been released? I was unable to get around to making a December update blog, and as such I haven't gotten much feedback on it. Any criticism is appreciated.

I got the photo of Skald you wanted, sorry it took so long :/

Vorred, Jollun, Bobdo's youger brother, posted something, and you need to see it.

Here's a link.

I know who I am! I&#39;m a dude called Matoro58 (talk) 00:13, January 19, 2014 (UTC)

Um, Vorred, I want to ask if you know how to design a contest award?

I know who I am! I&#39;m a dude called Matoro58 (talk) 15:54, January 21, 2014 (UTC)

That should be fine if you design the award. So here's what it should say:

''(Username) has won (First/Second/Third) Place in Matoro58's Writing and MOCing contest! ''

The Username part will show will show the user's name when it's on their page, and First/Second/Third place will say what place the user won. That should be all for the text, and for a picture, it should be this:



The picture should go on the left side, just like your award.

That's all for the award, and thanks for the offer!

I know who I am! I&#39;m a dude called Matoro58 (talk) 17:05, January 21, 2014 (UTC)

If you can find a better quality picture, then show me and I'll tell you if you can use it.

A preview version should be good enough to put on the page.

I know who I am! I&#39;m a dude called Matoro58 (talk) 17:20, January 21, 2014 (UTC)

That's perfectly fine. I honestly wouldn't have expected you to have, I'm not exactly someone who'd be on top of your list of stories to read. If you ever do get the time, any and all feedback is appreciated.

Hey Vorred, how do you make an award? I ask because I have 2 contests out now.Artek the crazy one

Hey there. :P

So, these are just WIP pictures of my version of Merall. Unfortunately, she is now significantly taller than my version of Theran so I can't film that love scene...

...yet. ;)

Wonderful. ;D I'm very pleased that you're fond of the design.

I wanted to go with a somewhat beefy design as I felt that it was more befitting of a Toa of Stone, but I do see what you mean about it being blocky. It detracts from the feminine element of the creation, though I feel that this is partly due to a lack of brown pieces on my half.

There is no stopping the fanon demand for Therall. ;) They're one of the most popular couples on CBW chat. You should join us.

You cruel, heartless monster, keeping those two star-crossed lovers apart. XD

Oh, no. It's not because they're lead characters. I ship them because they have such similar characteristics. They are both hardened warriors who have been shaped and battered by experience. They have similar values and think tactically, adopting serious tones in contrast to Range, and both have issues with authority. The only clear difference that I have spotted in their ideologies is that Merall is not prepared to kill an innocent opponent (Glonor), whereas Theran evidently was able to do what needed to be done. Psychologically, they are two very similar characters.

Either way, I imagine the relationship between the two characters being an interesting one. It already seems to be love-hate given Theran's killing of Glonor. I don't know. Maybe they need to kill another of my characters in order to fall in love. XD

No Magah
Well, Vorred, 'tis been a while since I last actively checked out the Wiki. To be honest and without wanting to disturb you, I had completely forgotten about the fact you were building Magah, and for this I apologize xD

Would it be okay if you'd build Ülec?

Gonna announce something big in my March Update (coming end of this month). Fear it ain't gonna be a message of the happier category.

What fresh sweetness and Globoh-kicking am I seeing in the New Files? :O

Yeah, just browse through my MOCPages folder and choose whatever you'd like and be able to build ;)

Could I get your opinion on ?

Bionicle Dude  (Talk) 05:23, March 13, 2014 (UTC)

Hey Vorbed, I am borred. ;)

Anyway, so I was reading over the Night of the Long Knives page when I remarked that the info box at the top was kinda empty. It was then that it struck me, I don't actually know when your storyline takes place. I know that it exists in an alternate reality where variou events wouldn't have happened, but exactly how far down the line doe it take place? Before the Great Cataclysm? After the Great Disruption? Concurrent with that which is present in the current story? Was just wondering. :P

Re:
Thanks for the reply!

I was mainly asking for your thoughts on the picture quality, as you arguably have the best photographs on this wiki, but if any thing sticks out for you on the MoC itself, feel free to criticize, I've already scrapped this one :)

PS

It's funny you said "Range clone" because around the time I purchased that blue Hau Nuva I began browsing this wiki again and I noticed your MoC Range, and I thought, "great, now anything I make with this Hau will look like I'm ripping off Range!"

But no worries, I'm planning on using it in a brother-sister combo team where they both use Hau Nuvas to protect each other, so I'll keep the resemblance to Range at a minimum :D

Bionicle Dude  (Talk)

Awesome. :P Thanks for clearing that up! Shall I date NotLK as 1000 years ACG then?

Really? O.o I was under the impression that it was just a few months between the 2002 an 2003 stories. But, then again, I'm not too clued-in on that matter. Either way, I'll just go by your recommendation. :P

Thanks for the tips, and I'll be sure to update you on my progress! Bionicle Dude  (Talk) 17:31, March 20, 2014 (UTC)

I crave ultimate power in this domain, and it shall be mine. :3

  

I just added something to Brickshelf that I thought you might want to see. ;)

Why hello there. Do you ever get the feeling that, whenever I edit your talk page these days, you have reason to be afraid? :D

Well, you do. ;)

Dear Vorred-underling.

''I have consulted a physician about my varying stages of insanity. His diagnosis was that I have been malnourished in my desire for Therall to come to fruition. In order for my mental health to improve, taking action and making Therall canon is all that can be done at this stage.''

Also, that picture you added of Vorred was hilariously appropriate, not to mention spookily detailed and close up. XD



Told ya that I would edit this >:3 Oh, and thank you Bobdo for helping me fix zhis image. XD



There's a new kid on the comic-making block. ;)

When will Uprising HD be released?

I know who I am! I&#39;m a dude called Matoro58 (talk) 04:00, April 11, 2014 (UTC)

Ha ha. Wonderful. :P

I will be making the odd side comic of a few panels like that once in a while, but I'll mostly use it for Zero Hour. Speaking of which, I have completed a final draft of the script and am eager to start filming once I get back from holiday. You should be seeing some long overdue new content (Both for ZH and for Uprising HD) in the near future.

Additionally, I was wondering if you could perhaps I've me a hand with some of the elemental effects in my comics in future, stuff like elemental lightning bolts, gunshots, explosions and masks glowing when in use.

And, finally: this

So, here I am again :)

I took your advice, plus tips from some other sources, and I produced these: ,

Your thoughts/What I can improve on, Etc.?

- Bionicle Dude  (Talk) 03:51, April 15, 2014 (UTC)

I agree with you 100% on the fact that a high quality photograph can make even the simplest of creations look amazing!

Thanks so much for the compliment regarding my Ojonite Sprinter MoC, the design elements you mentioned was what I was shooting for! :)

Thanks again for the help and kind words!

Vorred, one of your characters, Gringat, don't have anything written on its article. Can I edit it? I was told by a fellow user that Gringat was created by another user named Gringat, but I thought you created him since he is in Uprising and Patriots. I think maybe they are two different characters. Anyway, would you mind if I edited the Gringat's article?Toa Chartier (talk) 16:52, April 18, 2014 (UTC)

Thanks again for letting me participate in the writting of your articles. I was wondering, are you working on a third part for your story? I actually enjoy it quite a lot and am eager to learn of the fate of Theran, Range and all the others.Toa Chartier (talk) 02:13, April 20, 2014 (UTC)

You're right, thought it has changed much since the state it was in yesterday (when the Stub was added) and, since the Stub was issued, it has improved dramatically. I agree with you. Considering what information is known about her, I think it is now time to remove the stub template.

The article does, however, need to be Wikified and I can still see places for improvement in grammar and stuff.

I would disagree. The section was getting out of hand and feelings were getting hurt. It was both rational and necessary to prevent further escalation. Besides, I have every intention of seeing this issue reach its closure.

Will you be free to chat later today? At around 8pm your time? I think that it is in everybody's interest for this issue to be talked out.

Sure thing. :P I regularly pop in to chat at different points of the day and spend most of my evenings there.

Just to clarify, this chat will take place on Sunday, right?

The new Balfe Nui picture is awesome, what program did you use to create it?

EDIT: You should always check the Trivia section before asking a dumb question... xD

(Hey, that rhymes! :D)

Hehe. Glad you noticed it. :P

Unfortunately, I have no current plans to bring Ison back. I added my name to the page shortly after changing my name to BTD27 and am yet to update it.

Currently, the Deserts of Death stuff is no longer affiliated with my story. As my brother wrote part of it and we came up with it together I've given full ownership of it to him, while I pretend that I never wrote it. So it's technically canon, but in his storyline, which exists outside of the site's real focus.

As for Ison, I don't really have any plans to redesign her either. I'd totally forgotten about the Trivia section's boast of a revamp coming soon. I am quite proud of the head design and might use it again someday. Maybe I'll revamp her in the far-off future, but it doesn't really feel worth it. I feel that there are too many Makuta creations floating around and I can't see an opportunity to include her in a story if I do.

As for the big-bad female Makuta of Zero Hour, that would be this character. ;)

Hai :3
Just out of curiosity, how is the shtuff for Elegy going? :D

Awesome :D. Thanks for the update ;P.

Awesome to hear that the project is gaining some ground! I'm glad that I was able to have a part in motivating you. :P I'm still willing to provide panels for the events of NotLK and I've scoped out a few decent locations for filming. I'll hopefully be able to get some pictures to you relatively soon.

I'll do my best. :P It'll be short but sweet.

So I made a comic that you might be interested in. :P

Haha, glad you liked it. :P

Indeed I will. There'll be many more little sketches like this still to come. I'm uploading some pictures of Vorred that I took yesterday with better lighting.

Haha! You noticed! :D Indeed they were. I was very proud of those little details.

I'm nearly halfway through the editing. I have about 4 scene prepared and ready to be sent off out of 10, so I've perhaps bitten off a little more than I can chew. If worst becomes worse and I'm not able to finish then I'll probably just upload the first two scenes tonight then come back with the rest when I get back from London on the 1st.

Would you mind sending me a message on my talk page when you release the final installment of Uprising HD? :P

I have a present for you from the Zero Hour bloopers.

Aha. Well, you see, the beauty of it is that this picture isn't actually edited. I was flicking through my photos and I found this. It's just the light reflecting off her teeth while I was trying to take a picture facing the sun at an odd angle. :P

' TOMORROW?!?!?!?!? '
