I finally found it! We are staying here right?
Anyway I had an Idea that kinda expands on the civil war thing you guys said, but its more different... I guess? Let me just state my ideas:After the events of the tower, Sorolok is (?) after the events of the battle between the final host and Torok causes Torok to be (?). Solorok and the New Empire/Chaos League kind of are at peace with the Vanguard after working together at the tower. The Order Of Mata Nui however, does not approve of this and wages war with the New Empire/ Chaos League. Solorok is angry as he believes that the Vanguard betrayed him with working with the Order, even though the Vanguard did not do this. Then the New Empire and Order have war with each other with the Vanguard stuck in the middle. The vanguard then sorts everything out and they are all at peace for about 10 seconds until Nyxos shows up and ruins everything by dueling and smashing(?) Solorok and takes control of the empire then has a huge war with the vanguard and order. We can incorporate other ideas and charas in this too.

considering that Alexel seems a little underpowered to yours truly and I am a new player, I second this statement

Took me long enough to get here. While we're discussing the future of this RP, I wanted to get some things out in the open. Namely, what I have planned with Malvo, Pheore, and Ticeli.

The thing that was stolen from Nekra Corp. is known as "Project Gyraze." It was Ticeli's attempt at making something akin to an artificial Toa. However, it's still a prototype, and still has many flaws. Flaw #1: Ticeli had trouble getting his elemental system working the way he wanted it to. As of when the project was compromised, the elemental system negated elemental powers instead of creating them. Flaw #2: Ticeli's intended artificial intelligence has not been implemented, meaning that Gyraze follows commands instead of having any sort of free will. Flaw #3: Project Gyraze is now out of Ticeli's hands.

So, yeah: a mysterious outside party has captured Gyraze, and was going to use it for nefarious purposes. Originally, I was planning on having this happen directly following the Tower plotline, but I just got a better idea:

One suggestion for the future was that the Order would lose confidence in the Vanguard and their ability/commitment to protecting New Atero, right? Gyraze could help with that. If I launch Gyraze now, while the city is without it's Vanguard, this could be the catalyst you're looking for. Thoughts?

I had some ideas concerning my characters. I was going to alter them somehow by the end of the Wrathbringer arc. My idea for 'Kea is semi-complete, but I was considering changing Sylah somehow, so she was less lightning themed. Does anyone have any ideas?

Yeah, that's right up his alley. Actually makes Nekra Corp. relevant as a company, too.

Lovin' it like McDonald's. (I'm not a fan of McDonalds, but I like saying that, because I can be a tool like that.) So, an inquiry, mostly for plot reasons: do the players with advanced tech, minus other-dimensional beings, get their technology from the crashed Red Star? It would explain how Makuro and Nekra Corp. got such advanced equipment in about ten years or so. An idea now: I've got a friend whose older brother was a big fan of Bionicle. I'm talking multiple Rahkshi of the same kind and masks for days. My friend was a bit interested in the new one and bought some sets, and when he's bored he'll occasionally put some pieces together to make a figure. These have been practical and crazy, but they actually could be very useful. Need monsters for the whole Dark Ocean thing? I've got a few. Need a tribe that fights them? Plenty of them to pick from. There's a method to his madness, and it makes it--at least to me--very good for our options.

Of course, we have to remember the New Order's crusades. Mata Nui gave his life to defeat Makuta, an evil supreme overlord, and reform Spherus Magna which, despite the fact that one-fifth of it is a wasteland, is mostly a lush paradise. Who wouldn't be grateful for such a gift? Skakdi, Skrall, the vanquished, etc... But to dishonor Mata Nui after he gave us this would be...a supreme sin is the only word I think they'd use. If they will not accept Mata Nui's great gift, then they don't deserve to have it. Once again, I went on a rant. I need to stop typing.

I'd be alright with Alexel's SCIENCE power source being derived from the crashed Red Star.

Nekra Corp.'s success is mostly due to Ticeli, as I alluded to in his bio. He's one of the oldest Toa in existence (which is my excuse for giving him a Mata build irl

), and has spent a lot of time studying and tinkering. His real specialty is Kanoka-based tech, but I suppose he would have investigated the Red Star to see what it has to offer, especially when designing space ships. (SPACESHIP!

)

While this is nothing big, I just thought it'd be kind of cool to have Valla and Petram arm-wrestle. Timmyh says Valla is stronger than Toa with masks of strength, which Petram has. Petram also has slight limb enhancement due to being fused with an exo-suit. Additionally, Improbus can block signals to Petram's brain that say "Hey man, you're getting pretty tired and your biomechanical muscles are sore" if he gives mental control back to Petram. So a closer match. Just a thought. How would we decide who wins though, if we did this?
