New Order: A Next Chapter Spin-Off RP

The same playable races in BIONICLE: The Next Chapter are playable in New Order: Kabrua's Uprising. Additionally, all races apart of active factions that are not playable in the Next Generation are playable here.


Factions:
There are multiple factions that come into play in this conflict.  Some are labeled “active,” meaning they are joinable and will play a part in the war.  Others are “inactive,” meaning they are not presently involved and are thus not joinable.  Some are simply out of the fight because it does not concern or connect to them, or they do not want to participate.  Others are owned by other players, and it would be rude to activate the factions without their consent.  Some active factions are also labeled as “unjoinable,” meaning someone doesn’t want people making characters to join that faction.

The “Good Guys”

New Order of Mata Nui (Active.  All subfactions of the New Order are also active unless otherwise stated.)
The New Order is an organization of religious fanatics that are devoted to the service of Mata Nui.  In the past month they have taken control of New Atero after the Marendar killed the Turaga and Toa council, and have begun implementing their theocratic laws.

    Toa Army
The Toa army is the military branch of the New Order.  It consists of willing Toa warriors, and Toa who have been drafted by the New Order because “it is their duty as Toa to protect the people of New Atero, Mata Nui’s Chosen.”  Some do not agree with this action, for various reasons.  In this roleplay the Toa army is under the command of Kolyra, a New Order zealot.

Kaiaka
The New Order’s elite force of knights.  These warriors were often older Toa from before Spherus Magna was reformed, and thus the most experienced in the army.

Inquisition (Inactive)
A group of Ce-Toa and Rode-wearing Toa who wear cloaks that hide their identities.  They are tasked with discovering the truth of matters, such as criminal trials.

Vanguard of New Atero (Inactive)
A band of heroes and oddballs with extraordinary powers, weapons and skills.  The Vanguard is famed for protecting New Atero when all others had lost hope.  Their battles are legendary.
    Knights of Vashari (Inactive)
A crack team of interdimensional warriors with a vicious streak a mile wide and a       tendency to never die.  Ever.  Lead by Toa Vashari.

Agori
The Agori live north of New Atero, in the Bota and around the area where it meets the Wastes.  Raanu lead them from the city after the New Order took over.  Its residents are mostly former Agori, former Glatorian who didn’t want to be drafted as Toa, and other races that feared persecution like Skakdi, Vortixx, Skrall, and others who had previously resided in New Atero.  The Agori now carve out their lives, back in the wilderness, but thankfully with more plant life and a higher yearly rainfall average.  Their new lives are now under attack by Kabrua’s forces...How will they respond?

Earth Tribe
A tribe of Agori that has existed (for the most part) on Bota Magna until it was restored with Bara Magna.  Now they live in the Bota, uneasy to outsiders and living a rather unadvanced lifestyle compared to the Agori on Bara Magna.  They too are threatened by Kabrua.  The Earth tribe is lead by Tera, a Glatorian who took command during a power vacuum that followed the death of their previous leader at the hands of Vorox.

Nekra Corp. (Somewhat active)
A company run by Malvo, which focuses on developing the technology salvaged from the Red Star.  They will sell to the best buyer...or both buyers!

Ussal Corp. (Somewhat active)
A company similar to Nekra Corp., but a little more moral.  After an experiment involving a law-enforcing robot went awry and resulted in their headquarters being trashed and their CEO dying, the company has been floundering, with only a few assets here and there left to try and continue the business.

Surel’s Pack (Inactive)
Not particularly evil, in the quartz mountains lives a pack of Iron Wolves led by Surel, a heavily mangled Glatorian.

Berix’s Caravan (Somewhat active)
In the ten or so odd years since the events of Journey’s End, Berix has taken his collecting further to become a very succesful merchant and explorer.  He and his travelling caravan move about Spherus Magna, making a living by selling things they collect and cleverly fending off Bone Hunters and other threats.  While they prefer to avoid conflict, the members of the caravan have some skilled warriors up their sleeves.



The “Bad Guys” (aka Everyone Else)

The Grand Confederacy (Active.  The subfactions, unless labeled active, will be decided active or inactive by a vote amongst the users.)
Remnants of the Empire under the grand authority of Kabrua, a Vorox alpha, and a group of leaders from other subfactions in the confederacy.  Most of the other leaders are probably planning to usurp Kabrua, and he’s well aware of it.

    Kabrua’s Tribe (Active)
Kabrua leads a tribe of Vorox from Bota Magna, more advanced than their Bara Magna brethren in the south.  Unlike the other tribes, the Vorox seem capable of taming the wild Vorox.  These Vorox wield advanced weaponry given to them by Velika, and have bladed tails like scorpions.

    Skrall (Active)
A remnant of the Rock Tribe, led by Branar.   The Skrall seek to eventually become the supreme rulers of the confederacy.  See their race details for more information.
    Skrall Monkly Order
Having figured out that the Baterra would not attack unarmed opponents, some Skrall have formed the Monkly Order to try and exterminate the baterra.  They specialize in unarmed combat, and a few have even unlocked the secrets of geomancy.  They are lead by Stronius.

    Sisters of the Skrall
Kabrua, in an amazing act of diplomacy, managed to get the Sister of the Skrall to join his confederacy.  Although very hostile towards the male Skrall and with a general sense of superiority, the Sisters are powerful allies with lots of psychic “magic” to bring to the table.  They do not wear helmets or armor like most Glatorian, rather they tend to wear hooded robes.

Skakdi
The Skakdi are less of a subgroup and more of a culture, which sends a representative to make sure they get their savage opinions accounted for.  See their race details for more information.

Order of Stelt
This subfaction consists of the Steltian traders, that is, Sidorak’s species.  They are a merchant-run aristocracy that uses members of Krekka’s species as servants or slaves, and (although not opposed to getting their own hands dirty) generally use members of Gladiator’s species as soldiers and, well, gladiators.

Free Stelts
A faction that formed in the aftermath of Spherus Magna’s reformation.  This group consists of members from Krekka’s species and Gladiator’s species, and even male Vortixx, that have achieved freedom from their societies.  The Free Stelts organization is not very organized--it is mostly just a union, which will come together to defend its freedom and make decisions that will affect the whole body.  

New Xia
While Xia itself is destroyed, the Vortixx have wasted no time in building a new metropolis to call their home.  While not as sprawling and advanced as New Atero has become in its prosperous times, it is still considerably large.  The matriarchal society is ruled by a queen.  The one filling that role is often changing as the Vortixx achieve power through treachery, but whoever can attain the rank must be smart indeed.

Iron Warband (Active)
The Iron Warband, while originally led by Caybluk, has switched loyalties, a good chunk of the battalion had been left to enforce Velika’s rule in the settlements they conquered north of the Fortress of Darkness.  These small policing forces have banded together, forming a particularly militaristic portion of the Confederacy, and is more like a military than a sub-state.  


Irmao Ranch (Inactive)
A ranch that breeds some of the finest Rock Steeds in the world, and the only one that breeds the larger green subspecies.  Anyone looking for a fast mode of transportation might want to look here, if they’re willing to buy from Skrall.

Bone Hunters (Active)
A term used to generally describe the mounted bandits throughout Spherus Magna.  There are many smaller individual gangs which, although they fall under the general term, and not united.
    Vo-Zya
Lead by a Vortixx named Stotie, the Vo-Zya are a considerable force of around 100 mounted fighters, armed with the best gear they can loot.

(More Bone Hunter subgroups can be added.)


The Chaos Legion (Inactive)
A group of interdimensional religious fanatics dedicated to spreading their utopia vision--simply called “Chaos”--across all realms of the BIONICLE reality.
The New World Order (Inactive)
Has it even been founded yet?  Perhaps we will see it come to fruition in the near future…

The Citadel (Inactive)
The Fortress of Darkness, now a mobile citadel with intimidating spikes, and made from the ruins of the GSR.  It is run by Solorok and a sizable garrison.


AEGIS (Active)
The AEGIS is a mysterious faction in the wilderness of the Wastes.  They don’t make contact with anyone, but they are rumored to have advanced--even alien--technology.

Kestora (Inactive)
A few Kestora survived the Red Star’s crash.  These few have set up a base in the center of the crash site.  Doubtlessly it contains many technological secrets, but the Kestora, armed with plasma- and laser-based weaponry, are intent on not giving any of it up.

Zyglak (Inactive)
Intelligent, reptilian beasts with a really bad temper.  The zyglak carry a plague wherever they go, similarly to rats, which the other creatures of The Pit have become immune to.  They wield spears and daggers that destroy everything they touch when thrown.

Malum’s Pack (Inactive)
A pack of wild Vorox controlled by Malum, an exiled Fire Glatorian.  Currently the pack is prospering in the Bota, where Malum leads them to food and water.  Malum is not particularly fond of losing control of some of his Vorox to Kabrua.

I call joining the witches aka the sisters of the skrall
I'm probably going to do something with Sevair in here cause he is the worst character in the whole RP.

This is a mini profile page. Post profiles using the format below, and I will put it on this post for easy reference.



Name: (What's your name. Do you have a nickname or title?)

User:

Mask/Helmet: (What Kanohi Mask do you have? Or do you wear a helmet? If you want something original, ask.)

Element: (Six basic are automatic, others need to asked. We have way to many Lightning)

Gender: (Does not matter. Male Water? Sure. We don't care.)

Race: (See Race thread for options)

Personality: (What do you act like? Are you aggressive? Overly Nice?)

Alinement: (Are you a citizen of New Atero? An Acolyte for the New Order? An employee of Nekra Corp? There are many potential factions. See Factions thread.)

Appearance: (Only if you don't have a picture.)

Weapons: (Start off with one or two melee, and one projectile. Pick up more during your characters story.)

Unique Abilities: (Do you have more strength than average? More Speed? Intuition? Love of a particular snack?)

Bio: (Give a quick rundown on who you are. And by quick I mean short. We don't have to know everything, just enough to let us know what you're all about.)

Special: (If you choose to use the dice system. Strength , Perception , Endurance , Charisma , Intelligence , Agility , and Luck )
Or Perks:

Name: The Collector, Desosis
User: Kirathel
Mask/Helmet: Mutated Face, usually masked with a dark grey Hau
Gender: Presumably Male
Race: Toa
Personality: Distant but polite, businesslike, has something of an alien aura to him. Seems to have a plan.

"All I need is some willing aid. You help me brave the depths of Karzahni, and I will make it very much worth your while."
- The Collector, shortly before getting into a...disagreement with a group of bounty hunters who refused his offer.

Alignment: AEGIS
bene.JPG
Appearance:

The Collector wears a suit of oddly intricate black and silver armor. It has the appearance of being advanced, and seems to never get dirty. He wears a small cruciform pendant at times*, though it is sometimes stored in a back-pack like component built into the back of his armor. He also wears a thin but durable cape over his back, to conceal said pack. His face is peculiar, almost organic though interwoven with enough metal to be not unlike a particularly odd inhabitant of the MU.

Weapons: The Collector wields a cane-like device, which is capable of sending out force-bolts, and inducing sensory, auditory, and visory hallucinations. However, this second power seems to require a charge, which takes a while to build up again after use. The back of his legs have oddly-placed spikes on them, and he has small daggers on both arms.

Unique Abilities: The Collector possesses a level of superhuman speed and strength simply impossible by normal standards. In addition to this, his mind is shielded similar to an OoMN agent, and he has a weak regenerative power, which allows him to rebuild his body or armor from nearby materials after extensive battles.

Bio: Referred to only as "Mentor" in the ranks of AEGIS, no one on the outside knows who, or what he really is. However it is known he is an agent that is highly esteemed in the AEGIS command structure, and his appearance here is something that is a true anomaly. He has been seen a few times before, asking for guides or expeditions to a number of extremely dangerous or remote places, claiming to want samples of various materials, such as Red Star wreckage, Pit mutagen, and samples of the Mountain. As a result, many guides think he is somewhat insane, or some kind of very obvious serial killer.

Special: Strength 9, Perception 10 , Endurance 6 , Charisma 8 , Intelligence 9 , Agility 7 , and Luck 2


Name: Carmax

Helmet: A basic Stone Tribe helmet.

Element: Stone

Race: Toa, formally Matoran

Gender: Male

Alinement: The Toa Army, on leave from the New Atero Guard Force

Personality: Loyal, Dedicated, Practical, and a little Snarky.

Appearance: Brown and Black Stone Toa armor, with a distinguishing bandolier where he keeps iron shells. He often wears a short hooded travel cloak.

Weapons: Bident, a double bladed spear. Sword, a French Cutlass used for quick drawing and attacking. And a Trench Gun, a short ranged projectile that fires iron shells.

Unique Abilites: Stone Toa strength. Structural engineering. Desert survival experience. Mild Archery skills. Good with short range weapons.

Bio: Carmax is a rather unassuming Stone Toa. Most of the time he patrols the Wall of the Stone District of New Atero as a member of the Guard Force. He was drafted into the Toa Army by his superiors. He doesn’t believe in the New Order, it’s message, or it’s war, but he is loyal to New Atero and will fight for it. He respects Makuta Teridax greatly like most average citizens. He went on brief mission to a temple in the north when Toa Vashari asked for Guard Force members to accompany him in the time before the Knights were founded. The lead Knight quickly earned his respect as a fellow warrior, and taught him several sword fighting tricks.

SPECIAL: S 8, P 6, E 7, C 4, I 6, A 6, L 9

Perks: Touched By Torok; Due to his alternate selfs relation ship with Torok, Carmax has higher than average Luck stat



Name: Kolyra


User:
 Glace


Mask/Helmet: Kakama


Element: Ice


Gender: Female


Race: Toa


Personality: An overly zealous member of the New Order, and a soldier through and through.  Very reserved for the most part.


Alinement: New Order, New Atero, Lawful Evil


Appearance: Skeleton pieces are a malachite color, armor is white.  Ice blue mask, shoulder pads, and upper leg guards.  White lower legs and upper arms.  Silver chest piece and lower arms.


Weapons: Axe, thronax launcher

Unique Abilities: A superb strategist


Bio: Kolyra fought in the Core War as a light infantryman and guerilla for the Elelmental Lord of Ice.  She was stranded on Bara Magna after the Shattering. 

At some point Kolyra was attacked by a pack of Zesk, which nearly dragged her beneath the sand.  They were stopped by the timely arrival of Certavus, who was still alive at this point.  Kolyra was ashamed of how easily she was bested, and sought training from Glatorian.  Over the years she honed her skill in battle, and developed her skills as a strategist.  They served her well at the Arena Magne, when she was able to escape alive, and save two others.  She fought at the Battle of Roxtus.

After Spherus Magna was reformed, Kolyra joined the New Order, and is Sansod's trusted right hand in military and enforcing the law.  Now she is being sent north to deal with Kabrua.


Special: (If you choose to use the dice system. Strength 7, Perception 8, Endurance 7, Charisma 7, Intelligence 6, Agility 7, and Luck 5 )

Name: Tathel. Just Tathel

User: Jayzor17

Mask/Helmet: Kanohi Faxxon, Great Mask of Kindred

Element: Plantlife

Gender: Male

Race: Toa

Personality: Tathel is a quiet and passive Toa, preferring to stay out of the action and live a quiet and simple life. He's only in New Atero because of the dying wish of the Turaga he respects most in the world, and he's starting to regret it. Nevertheless, he's here to lend a helping hand.

Alinement: Toa Army, Lawful Good

Appearance: A bit tall, dark green and blue armor.

Weapons: "Flutterblades" - twin swords, as shown above. Have the unique function of a rotating hand guard, which would be useful if he ever decided to use them.

Unique Abilities: Tathel is a gifted healer

Bio: Tathel lived a quiet life in the Wastes until his village got trashed by some bandits. On the dying wish of his Turaga, he ventured to New Atero with some Toa stones and a map to a Suva. He distributed three of the four, using the last on himself. Unfortunately two of the Matoran who he gave stones to backed out, resulting in some unfortunate and unprecedented consequences. I wonder how Sansod would react if he knew the real reason he became a Toa...

Special: Strength 5 , Perception 6 , Endurance 7 , Charisma 7 , Intelligence 6 , Agility 5 , and Luck 2
Or Perks:

Name: Lync
User: Jayzor17
Mask/Helmet: Kanohi Hau, Great Mask of Shielding
Gender: Female
Race: Toa
Personality: Lync is friendly and plucky, but still keeps her distance from a society that tends to reject her. She has no great love for law or the New Order.

Alignment: the Vanguard, if only to appease Sansod, Neutral Good

Appearance: Lync is short, and wears grey armor streaked with hues of dark green. Her mask is of an exotic design, and she sports a pair of wings.

Weapons: Crescent Moon: a strange creation of the Great Beings, Crescent Moon is a bladed bow capable of firing seemingly limitless beams of moonlight. It can run out of charge, but requires only time to become functional again. Furthermore the bow can be split in half, allowing it to be wielded as two short swords in melee combat.

Unique Abilities: Lync is a planner, though this is offset by the unique and uncanny inability to hold anyone's attention unless they are trying to kill her.

Bio: Lync has always been a bit outcast from society. Then she got captured by terrorists. Now she works with the Vanguard so that Sansod doesn't lock her up and crucify her, though she spends most of her time wandering the Wastes, trying to figure out what the Storm is up to...

Special: Strength 6, Perception 7 , Endurance 7 , Charisma 4 , Intelligence 9 , Agility 8 , and Luck 2

I think he's earned a spot at the table (or smoothie bar).

Bio: A Rahi hunter on Mata Nui. Fought in the Bohrok Wars, battled Makuta's armies when he took over the GSR, and was apart of the Toa army that fought the Empire. He joined he New Order to have something to put his faith into in a world falling from grace, and because "Toa actually protected people in his day." He also fought the demons of the Tower.

Special: (If you choose to use the dice system. Strength 8 , Perception 5 , Endurance 10 , Charisma 4 , Intelligence 6 , Agility 3 , and Luck 9 )

Gender: Male

Race: Toa

Alinement: LG, New Atero, New Order

Weapons: Protosteel sword, New Order shield, Nekra Corp. energy crossbow

Unique Abilities: Chivalrous and well-mannered (amazing, right?)

Bio: Bhadra originated from Mata Nui. He became a Toa due to the events at the Suva. Bhadra was recently drafted into the New Order's military.

Bonus: Bhadraloka's gentlemanly manner helps him talk with people and gain respect from unexpected people. When being diplomatic, he only fails on a 1 and does an awesome on an 18 or higher.



Name: Charkop

User: Tmanofdoom

Mask/Helmet: Some Skrall helmet he picked up a while back (after shortening the spike).

Name: Wagroll

User: Tmanofdoom

Species: Botars species

Mask: Mask of Conjuring

Gender: Male

Powers: Like all in his species, he can teleport himself, and others. He is also incredibly strong, a fact that he is proud of.

Appearance: Gold and orange armor. Very large (I think that's pretty much a given for his species) His left arm is silver, and mechanical.

Weaponry: A very large, very sharp axe.

Bio: Wagroll is a very skilled fighter, and is actually quite clever in battle. He used to travel around the MU looking for people to fight. Unfortunately, he also has an explosive temper, but he can almost always keep it under control. Almost always. He once got in a fight with a powerfull dark hunter, and in the ensuing battle, he lost an arm. This sent him in to a blinding rage and he started destroying everything around him. After he partially destroyed several villages, (he kept teleporting to new places) he calmed down. Then the Order of Mata Nui showed up, and decided to offer him a choice; to be imprisoned, or join the order. He decided to join. Sometime after that, a mechanical arm was made for him.

Perks: Immense strength: awsomes on 18 fails on 1 with strength.


Name: Selariel
Helmet/Mask: None, "hair" like head-dress similar to Roodaka's, only with an abundance of shorter, dreadlock-type protrusions.
User: Kirathel The Supreme Edgelord of Self-Referencing
Element: N/A
Gender: Female
Race: Vortixx
Personality: Seems very....distracted? She doesn't seem like she's "all there" all the time. Reasonably attentive and seems at least in possession of a given amount of common sense, but acts sort of distant. Smiles a lot. It doesn't make her look any more trustworthy.
Alignment: Vortixx Interests
Appearance: An average looking Vortixx, with gold-inlaid armor plating and finger-claw-things. "Dreadlock hair" headdress piece, which is intended to complement the rest of her envoy appearance. She wears a short cape with similar gold inlaying, and a kama* like garment around her waist.

* see Star Wars Wiki

Name: Briara, Countess of the Sisters of the Skrall

User: Jayzor

Mask/Helmet: Briara wears no helmet, leaving her oddly organic face open for all to see.

Element: Psionics

Gender: Female

Race: Sister Skrall

Personality: Briara is cold and confident, thinking of her people first, the male Skrall second, and others maybe. Oh, I should really clarify: she thinks to spite the male Skrall, not aid them.

Alignment: the Sisters of the Skrall as a people

Appearance: Briara wears a black cloak embroidered with a dark purple only visible in certain lighting, and beneath that - more cloth? She bears no sign of biomechnics on her body, being purely organic.

Weapons: She bears a weapon that cannot be disarmed or taken away from her: her mind. Beside that, however, she has no training in physical combat.

Unique abilities: Briara is strong-willed and extremely resilient to other psions. It's even rumored that she keeps a constant psionic shield surrounding herself, though none have had the chance to test this.

Bio: Briara has only come to lead her sisters recently, after being the voice of a group that disagreed with the previous leader's decisions. The leader lead her followers one way, and Briara lead hers another - and only one group survived. Being right has its perks.

SPECIAL: Strength 3 , Perception 7 , Endurance 5 , Charisma 7 , Intelligence 9 , Agility 5 , Luck 6

Perks: All brains, no brawn: For mental attacks, Briara awesomes on an 18 or higher and fails only if a 1 is rolled the first time and a 10 or lower is rolled on a second roll. Conversely, on any physical attack/defense checks, she fails on a 5 or lower and only awesomes when a 20 is rolled the first time and a 10 or higher is rolled on a second roll.

Mask/Helmet: Kanohi Hau, Great Mask of Shielding

Appearance: Short and stocky, not to mention a bit worn around the edges.



Weapons: A long, two-handed halberd that's seen just as much as Kogarru himself.

I guess the Citadel would still be here at this point. 

Ill submit Carmax, he’s not doing much. Just gotta draw up a profile.

When exactly does this take place? I may use Sevair or a new character depending.

Ok. That  means Sevair

OOC: Karz...give me a minute, gotta rewrite some stuff...

Are we going to see some solorok and Hanah drama now that Hanah is a Vashari?

oh. but he nearly killed vashari so I wondered why he wouldn't do the same.
