Writing Advice

[Kini_Hawkeye]

Gotta start somewhere mate.

If I had to suggest two or three books that are engaging to get you into it, I'd say start with something simple and high fantasy (Deltora Quest holds a special place in my heart and would be my recommendation), then move on to something like The Warrior Heir or The Lies of Locke Lamora.

After that my suggestions would be The Name of The Wind, Dragonlance, or Lord of the Rings.

Course that's just assuming you're into High Fantasy. I have a toootally separate list for Sci Fi

My favorite thing to do is genre mixing. I'm doing high fantasy based off Celtic myth and superheroes. Or pirates and dinosaurs.

Celtic myth

That’s always fun to work with.

Myths are always an interesting source for stories. I have a story about the seasons personified in human form, based on some of the Greek details about them (including the four winds as side characters). Though I'm still not at the point of writing, since I haven't decided on who the antagonist will be or what specifically they would do for conflict.

Hey guys, I need help, if you were writing for an elementless Matoran/Toa. What would your backstory be for that character?

[UltimateMustacheX]

For a G1 Matoran, it's easy. None of them have elemental powers. So you could just have them become a Toa by some unconventional means that prevents them from tapping into the elements. Maybe a synthetic Toa was made to try and have extra Toa, but the manufactured design can't retain elemental energy.

I'm not quite sure about G2 since there wasn't much lore to begin with.

For G3/Brickonicle, I believe their canon says only 6 Matoran per generation have that because they gain it as Toa. And the cast had made it clear that they would have no other Toa after that (besides Voriki).

Now I'm not a big writer, but I have posted a few things out here. So This may not be of any use to anyone.

One thing that really helps me is building MOCs of the characters and acting out the scene with them. It really helps me visualize the scene.
