The Old Mary Sue test doesn't really revolve entirely with Bionicle, so CL, Mizz, Mazeka, I've decided it must be edited to fit with the universe of course and 'its' laws and physics and the more common stories here on the wiki.. Hence why I'm making this blog. It will still retain a lot of elements from what we've worked on.
