Bionicle Roleplay: The Brotherhood of Makuta Signup

We all love these powerful, gaseous manipulators of everything. - Quite literally, there is a Makuta behind everything that ever happened in the Matoran Universe.

This Roleplay should focus on the Brotherhood in its earlier time, only shortly after they defected from the path of the Great Spirit. - We will involve the political power-play of the Brotherhood as one of our main themes. This RP’s timeline will be driven only by events that occurred BEFORE the Makuta announced their gaseous evolution. - So in a sense, we wont follow the canon development but we will be making our own stories for the characters involved. - To better understand this, I will be allowing only Makuta as the main characters… there IS however something else - I will explain that more throughout in the rules.

The Rules
-You can have max 3 Characters
-Your main character has to be a Makuta but your other characters can serve as antagonists in the form of a Toa or a Dark Hunter. (Note: Most Toa should be still unaware of the Brotherhood’s betrayal at this point, act upon it.)
-Your character can have only 1 additional power aside from the standard Makuta set
-No meta-gaming, always ask other players for the permission to injure or know something about their character that is not apparent. Example: It’s okey to see “Ahhh… a Toa of Water” to someone with obviously blue color-scheme and Toa-like body. - It is not okey to say something like “I sense your foul presence, Makuta - your disguise wont fool me.” to a disguised Makuta.
-Be polite. - This is pretty self-explanatory. - You have to behave nicely to everyone involved in the RP.
-For the love of Mata Nui, don’t lore-rape: Lore rape is when somebody goes strictly against the canon story: For example, a Makuta that isn’t antidermis is a lore-rape. - Just don’t… learn your lore and act upon it.
-GM has the last word. - If you get booted from the RP by a GM, don’t even think about keeping posting. - Take it to private chat with the GM. - What they say is final and that’s it.
-Basic RP knowledge is expected from everyone.
-Don’t mix IC and OOC

  • Use quotation mark for speaking characters and italics for thinking characters. - Normal text is for emote. - DON’T GET THESE MIXED UP.

The Many Islands of Mata Nui

I’ll join this.

Name: Crytoss

Title: Teridax’s Enforcer, Hound of Miserix, Terri’s pet Muaka

Appearance:

Mask: Kanohi Avsa, Mask of Hunger

Additional Power: No additional powers

Weaknesses: Supremely over-confident. Despite his tactical genius, Crytoss tends to gamble with all-or-nothing situations.

Gender: Male

Specialization: Warrior through and through. However he is trained as a negotiator and interrogator.

Personality: Crytoss, despite his Makutaness, looks down upon science as a waste of effort, also despite his reliance on much of his brothers’ technology to carry-through his grand interrogation threats. He also suffers from a superiority complex that redefines ego-mania. However he is extremely intelligent and can exploit any perceivable weakness to his own maximum advantage.

History: Alt. universe counterpart of Crytoss from the standard Bionicle universe.

Location: Based in Destral when not on missions.

Another one!

Name: Lomois

Title: “That Confounded Meddler of Misanthropy!”, Lucky Lomois, Mad Doctor

Appearance:

Mask: Mask of Biomechanics

Additional Power: Carries homemade bombs of different Rahkshi powers.

Weaknesses: Lomois is not physically strong, compared to a Makuta, due mostly in part to an inferiority complex perpetuated by his fellow scientists who view him as something of a quack.

Gender: Male

Specialization: Scientist.

Personality: Lomois is an ingenius scientist who is usually over-shadowed by the more charismatic ones like Chirox and Mutran. This made him extremely closed-off to others and distrustful. He fears others are constantly attempting to steal his work. However he is extremely creative as well as inquisitive, studying constantly to improve his work.

Magic is not canon for G1 Bionicle.

For now - Denied.

Again, how dos this work? - Bionicle G1 is science from top to bottom. - There is no magic involved.

how are masks given powers in g1?
his main power is fear

It’s science, great beings and more science… there is virtually no magic in Bionicle.

Yeah, I get that… but how does he appear as the viewers worst nightmare? - Is he a shapeshifter, it is an illusion, a hologram?

How about we say he made a psychic link to the skull to enhance his ability to give fear to the victim

That make sense, accepted.

We will begin the RP soon enough.

does the Records Library within Destral already exist?

'cause if so…

Actually, I believe Greg mentioned not everything in G1 could be explained by science.

Still bionicle was mostly scientific. Very little magic / supernatural.
