Current Technology: can't live with it; can't live without it. Trying to make a Powerpoint presentation for Volcanology tomorrow morning, and Office 365 Powerpoint keeps crashing. RIP

Going dark for a few days. I have a major project for Paleontology due Tuesday morning, and I'm nowhere near done with it, so I'll be away until I get that done. See y'all in a few days.

@tobiax Revised character sheet now ready for review:


Valanx grunted his irritation as every file that could contain any useful information required higher security clearance than he had. He would have to get Ray to unlock the files, unless they were too high security for even him to access. He was about to inform the captain of this when the Galactic Committee anthem came on throughout the ship, followed by Admiral V'Sul assigning the crew to respond to a Code: Velvet. Valanx groaned audibly. A Code: Velvet? Couldn't they catch a break for once? After everything they'd dealt with over the rats and the telepath (and who knows what else there is to be learned about that), they deserved at least some R&R before embarking on something like this, right? Apparently, however, the admiral did not share his (or the rest of the crew's) sentiments on the matter, and that was that. Valanx made his way out of the lab and to the briefing room to see what this newest disaster was all about. He just hoped it would be something that they could deal with quickly and be done with, but a Velvet was rarely so simple as all that.
@Sedjwick I never said he can't believe it. However, a Matoran with a too-big sword does much more harm than good.

Point noted. How about he has this sword in his workshop, but doesn't lug it around with him until (if) he becomes a Toa.
Also, the first (few) Turaga were built as such. For example, the Turaga who sent all the Matoran on his island to Karzahni for 'repairs', whom went mad, was one such individual. Just as the Toa Mata, and the first examples of Toa, were never Matoran.

Point noted again, however, that then begs the question of is this so early within the timeline that these six Turaga may be among those first few that never were Toa? Because even if they're partially mechanical they can't live forever. Those first few would have died at some point, I'm sure.
@Sedjwick The character concept is good, however, there are a few issues. Firstly, knowing whether or not Toa exist/have existed for sure isn't that easy to get around. There were no Toa involved in the entire Exodus group, and thus no relics from Toa to exist to be collected. That means the sword by proxy is void. Also, I'd rather have what Kanoka discs he has be clear, as opposed to a "random assortment". In addition, they're larger than his head in diameter and fairly thick, so I think carrying twelve of them would be somewhat difficult.


Thanks for the feedback. I'll fix some of the stuff soon. However, in my defense on the things regarding the existence of Toa, you never made it clear if anyone was aware of if Toa had existed in the past or not, and I'm pretty sure that, according to the original canon, all Turaga had once been Toa (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but you'll have to cite some evidence). Additionally, I never said that the sword did belong to a Toa, I just said that Varana is convinced that it did. There must be some Matoran that believe in the existence of Toa, even if all they have to go by are myths and legends.
And, I think I'm ready to submit my character for approval.



He's a bit of a cross between Takua and Berix, but I think he's original enough too.
Okay, I'm gonna call dibs on the Fe-Matoran right now before someone beats me to it. I just need to get the description ironed out, and Varana should be good to go.
@tobiax Okay, thanks. Waffling between Ta- or Fe-Matoran now. I'll try to get a CS up soon-ish.
@tobiax Okay, thanks, but I would suggest putting that somewhere in the OP because it isn't there. I checked the whole post, and based on the descriptions of the congro and the innate powers of the different types of Matoran, you can get kind of an idea, but it's never explicitly explained anywhere.

Still interested, and waffling between a Vo- or Ta-Matoran, or maybe a Fe-Matoran. Suffice to say, I'm in and will get to work on a CS soon.

P.S. If you're going to keep with the canon of each type of Matoran being only one gender (all Ta-Matoran male, all Ga-Matoran female, etc.), that would also be a good thing to put in the OP so people know what gender is associated with each type of Matoran. If you're going to throw out that part of the canon, though, that's totally fine.
Definitely interested, but you please clarify the elements of each of the prefixes. I remember the original six (Ta-fire, Ga-water, Po-stone, Onu-earth, Ko-ice, Le-wind/air), and I think Fe is iron, but I can't remember the others. It has been years, after all.
@KaiserElectric Like I said to @Jones Sparrow, we all understand how crazy real life can get, so there's no need to apologize for disappearing to take care of your irl stuff. We all have been there, probably more times than we can remember, so we totally understand.
