[i]In the time before time, the Great Spirit descended from the heavens, carrying we, the ones called the Matoran, to this island paradise. We were separate and without purpose, so the Great Spirit blessed us with the three virtues: unity, duty, and destiny. We embraced these gifts and, in gratitude, we named our island home Mata Nui, after the Great Spirit himself. But our happiness was not to last. Mata Nui's brother, Makuta, was jealous of these honors and betrayed him. Makuta cast a spell over Mata Nui, who fell into a deep slumber. Makuta's power dominated the land, as fields withered away, sunlight grew cold, and ancient values were forgotten. Still, all hope was not lost. Legends told of six mighty heroes, the Toa, who would arrive to save Mata Nui. Time would reveal that these were not simply myths - for the Toa did appear on the shores of the island. They arrive with no memory, no knowledge of one another - but they pledged to defend Mata Nui and its people against the darkness. Great warriors with great power, drawn from the very elements themselves. Together, they were six heroes with one destiny: to defeat Makuta and save Mata Nui. This is their story.[/i] Welcome to Bionicle: A New Destiny. This story will be an alternate universe based on Gen 1 of the Bionicle Series, with the only remaining constants being the Island of Mata Nui, the Great Spirit himself, and the Makuta Teridax. You will either play one of the 6 Toa, one of the 6 Turaga, a matoran, or maybe even one of the many members of the Brotherhood of Makuta or the Order of Mata Nui. Only time will come to tell how this world will be shaped by our decisions. Right away, we need some vital roles before the RP can start, they are as follows The 6 Toa [list] [*] Toa Khiara - Toa of Lightning [*] Toa Jarhar - Toa of Iron [*] [*] [*] [*] [/list] The 6 Turaga [list] [*] [*] [*] [*] [*] [*] [/list] Makuta Teridax and so forth. The island that the story starts on is still Mata Nui, but depending on the Elements of our chosen Toa, the elements of the Matoran Villages may not be the same as in the Canon. Matoran, Toa and Turaga can be any of the Following Elements Fire Water Air Stone Earth Ice Lightning Magnetism Plasma Gravity Sonics Plant Life Iron Psionics Light (I am only allowing one of these, and they must start the RP as a disguised Matoran ala Takua; If you want to be Mata Nui's resident Av-Matoran, just PM me) The First 6 picked for the Toa or Turaga will be the regions of the new Mata Nui island. Note that while I am only picking 6 Toa to start the game, I may choose another 6 Matoran to become a secondary Toa team at a later point (in this case I will PM the chosen 6), plus rogue and solitary Toa later in the story.
