[CENTER][COLOR=RED][U][B]BIONICLE: METRU NUI
City of Legends[/B][/U][/COLOR]

[COLOR=TEAL][SIZE=1][I]?In the time before time there is an island city where creatures and people beyond your wildest imaging live and work everyday, this is [B]METRU NUI[/B]. The City of Legends is threatened by the monstrous plant know as the [B]MORBUZAKH[/B] and only the power of the six great disks of Metru Nui can save the city and it?s civilian inhabitants, the Matoran, can stop this plant before it consumes all of Metru Nui. The six new [B]Toa Metru[/B] must scour the city in the search for the six Matoran who alone know the locations of the [B]Great Disks[/B]. But a shadowy power behind the scenes will stop at nothing to ensure the Toa Metru do not succeed and unknown to the Toa, one of the six Matoran intends to betray all of Metru Nui and they must realise this and stop them before it is too late."[/I]

[B]LET THE LEGEND BEGIN[/B]

-=======================-

Metru Nui is a huge island city located far beneath the surface of the island of Mata Nui. It was the original home of the Matoran prior to their emigration to Mata Nui. Metru Nui sits in the center of a vast silver sea of liquid protodermis.

The city is divided into six districts, or [B]"Metru"[/B]: [B]Ta-Metru, Ga-Metru, Onu-Metru, Po-Metru, Le-Metru, and Ko-Metru[/B]. Each metru`s Matoran play a different role in the smooth running of the city. The metru are connected to each other by a complex system of transport chutes.

Some of the most important sites in Metru Nui include the Coliseum, sports center and power source for the city; the Great Furnace in Ta-Metru; the Great Temple in Ga-Metru; the Onu-Metru Archives; the moto-hub in Le-Metru; the Sculpture Field in Po-Metru; and the Knowledge Towers of Ko-Metru.

Metru Nui is ruled by [B]Turaga Dume[/B], and protected by robotic order enforcement squads called [B]Vahk[/B]i. Each metru has a different type of Vahki, but all are highly efficient and relentless enforcers of the laws of the city. For more information regarding the City or the individual Metru please consult the Onu-Metru archives, [B][URL=http://www.lego.com/eng/bionicle/legends.asp?sw_link=metru_nui]click here[/URL][/B].

-=======================-[/CENTER]

For this RPG I only need six people [Including myself] to play the six Toa Metru. The application style is a sort of ?first come first serve? but I would like a post sample from you when applying to be any of the Toa so I can choose who is the best fit for each Toa Metru. If you wish to play one of the Matoran who we are searching for please PM me and I?ll see what I can do for you. Here is a quick description, including a picture, of the Toa Metru but when applying please use the information supplied here, [B][URL=http://www.lego.com/eng/bionicle/legends.asp?sw_link=bios]click here[/URL][/B].

Toa Metru of earth and guardian of Onu-Metru, Whenua spends much of his time in the vast Archives beneath the city. When danger threatens, he relies on his twin earth shock drills and his Great Mask of Night Vision.

[IMG]http://cache.lego.com/images/shop/Products/TYPE10/LEGO-US-2057/Set384x288us008606.jpg[/IMG]
Cold and aloof Toa Metru of ice and guardian of Ko-Metru, Nuju carries two crystal spikes for climbing the Knowledge Towers and he wears the Great Mask of Telekinesis. Nuju is quiet most of the time and rarely speaks, his mind is always focused on future events and this impedes his ability to act in the moment somewhat.

So that?s the basic info for you all, here?s the sign-up sheet giving the information fields and the usual; stuff and if your unsure about the information just go to the website and look at mine to get an idea of what I?d like it to look like.

[U][B]Sign-Up Sheet[/B][/U]

[U]Name:[/U] [Your characters name]

[U]Element:[/U] [Which element does your character represent? For Matoran this is N/A]

[U]District:[/U] [Which Metru does your character come from]

[U]Appearance:[/U] [You can use the pictures I supplied in the little bios]

[U]Kanohi Mask/Power:[/U] [The masks name and its power, again for Matoran this is N/A]

[U]Tools/Ability:[/U] [The name of the tool you use and what it can do, for Matoran this is the disks they carry]

[U]Biography:[/U] [You can get this information from the Bionicle website and the link is given above]

And that?s all the info I?ll need from you as well as a post sample, the sample needs to be at least two paragraphs and once I?ve got it and checked it over I?ll tell you if you have the place.

[CENTER]-=======================-[/CENTER]

[U]My Character Sign-Up[/U]

[U]Name:[/U] Toa Vakama

[U]Element:[/U] Toa Metru of Fire

[U]District:[/U] Ta-Metru

[U]Appearance:[/U]
[IMG]http://cache.lego.com/images/shop/Products/TYPE10/LEGO-US-2057/Set384x288us008601.jpg[/IMG]

[U]Kanohi Mask/Power:[/U] Vakama wears the Kanohi Huna, the Great Mask of Concealment. It allows him to turn invisible but even when he is in this state he still casts a shadow. If his is in physical contact with another Toa or Matoran the Masks power also affects them so they two become invisible.

[U]Tool/Ability:[/U] Vakama carries a Kanoka Disk launcher which is of a much more complex design than those used by the Matoran of Metru Nui. The launcher can fire all class of Kanoka Disk, including the Great Disks, and it can also channel Vakama?s ability to use his fire powers, though he prefers to use his hands for this.

[U]Biography:[/U] Toa of Fire and Guardian of Ta-Metru, Vakama was once one of the city?s greatest mask makers. His skill was so respected that Turaga Dume asked him personally to make a Kanohi Mask of Time but this was beyond the skill of Vakama and so he had to decline. Now he has become one the powerful Toa Metru, guardians of the city, but he is not always certain that he is ready for the role of a hero. And at times he misses his life and work in the foundries of Ta-Metru where we would craft masks for the other Matoran and Turaga Dume to wear.

Vakama has always been plauged by strange visions of the future. Often the meanings of these visions are unclear and, for now, he is hiding this ?talent? from the other Toa Metru. It is only later that he will discover that these visions will be key in saving the city from the Morbuzakh plant. He has the wisdom and courage to be the leader of the Toa Metru but he is not sure that he can handle that role. Nokama, however, feels strongly that Vakama is best suited to be the leader of the Toa Metru.

[CENTER]-=======================-[/CENTER]

If you do sign up to the RPG I'd like you to post at least once every two days and if you can't manage that for whatever reason just PM when the problem comes and I'll just make sure you character isn't phased out or anything. And the usual board rules for post quality apply and such but I'd like the length to be at least three paragraphs.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Vicky]

[B][SIZE=1]Name: Toa Nokama

Element: Water (>.<)

District: Ga-Metru

Appearance:
[IMG]http://cache.lego.com/images/shop/Products/TYPE10/LEGO-US-2057/Set384x288us008602.jpg[/IMG]

Kanohi Mask/Power: Nokama wears the Kanohi Rau, the Great Mask of Translation, which allows her to read ancient Matoran dialects and understand spoken languages.

Tools/Ability: Her Toa tools are twin hydro blades, which can pull her through the protodermis canals at high speed. They are also strong enough to shatter solid rock, and channel her power to control water.

Biography: Toa Metru of Water and guardian of Ga-Metru, Nokama was originally a teacher. Although she has not lost the habit of trying to instruct others. This is particularly annoying to Matau, who says she should listen more and "speak-teach" less. Nokama takes her responsibilities as a Toa ver seriously, and believes they have a duty to the Great Spirit to meet any challenge. She does sometimes miss her old Matoran friends, though, who now do not seem to know how to act towards here.

Nokama is wise and extremely resourceful, having once managed to defeat three Rahkshi singe-handedly. She is very good at seeing the big picture and making connections between seemingly unrelated events. Along with Onewa, she is best tactician among the Toa Metru.[/B]

Oww.... that hurt my fingers...[/SIZE]

[Kyoober]

Name: Whenua

Element:Earth

District:
Onu-Metru
Appearance: I dont know how to take the pic bit its the black one.

Kanohi Mask/Power:Great Mask of Night Vision

Tools/Ability: twin earth shock drills


Biography: Toa Metru of earth and guardian of Onu-Metru, Whenua spends much of his time in the vast Archives beneath the city. When danger threatens, he relies on his twin earth shock drills and his Great Mask of Night Vision. Some say he spends too much time in the past, mainly Nuju, but he says he learns from his mistakes that way.

[Jokopoko]

[COLOR=TEAL][SIZE=1]Okay, Vicky you have the part of Nokama but Kyoober unless you do the sign-up in the style I asked and use the information on the website I gave and send a PM with a post sample to me, then I'm afraid you do not have the part of Whenua in this RPG. So to anyone who wants to apply there are only four parts left, unless you wish to play a Matoran.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[font=Verdana][size=1][/size][/font]
[color=black][size=1][font=Verdana][b]Kanohi Mask/Power:[/b] [color=#000000]Toa Nuju wears the Kanohi Matatu, the Great Mask of Telekinesis, which allows him to move objects or people with his mind in whatever way he chooses. He must be able to see the object or person he is moving clearly and so the Kanohi Matatu is built with basic vision enhancements to make this easier. And so he can also see through solid walls with the mask and warn the others of danger.[/color][/font][/size][/color]
[font=Verdana][size=1][color=black][/color][/size][/font]
[color=black][size=1][font=Verdana][b]Tools/Ability:[/b] Nuju carries a pair of Crystal Spikes which are useful for digging into the sheer sides of the Knowledge Towers when he is climbing to the top. They can also attach to his feet to give him more traction and grip when walking along the tops of the towers so he does not fall off, the Spikes are also able to channel his power of ice.[/font][/size][/color]
[font=Verdana][size=1][color=black][/color][/size][/font]
[color=black][size=1][font=Verdana][b]Biography:[/b] Toa Metru of Ice and guardian of Ka-Metru, Nuju was a well respected seer before becoming a Toa - and sometimes he wishes he could go back to his old life. While he takes his duties as a Toa seriously, it is not a job he would have volunteered for. Being one of the Toa Metru means working with others he is not sure he likes or trusts and leaves very little time for study or focusing on the future of the city like the other Seers of Ko-Metru.[/font][/size][/color]
[font=Verdana][size=1][color=black][/color][/size][/font]
[color=black][font=Verdana][size=1]Although Nuju does not have much faith in Vakama's visions, he is practical enough to know that someone has to be the leader. That does not mean he will follow orders he thinks are foolish - like any Ko-Matoran, he prefers to go his own way and choose his own actions. Although he way sometimes seem aloof, he is usually mapping out the consequences of a plan before suggesting it. Nuju is always focused on the future, which explains why he argues with Toa Whenua who reveres the past.[/size][/font]

[Jokopoko]

[COLOR=TEAL][SIZE=1]Thanks Lynx, you have the part of [B]Toa Nuju[/B] so don't worry about it. Kyoober if you don't change the sign up soon I'm afraid you will not have the part of [B]Toa Whenua[/B], so theres still three more places to fill before we can start the RPG people.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[I]Here’s my sign-up. Sorry abuot the delay and feel free to correct it where you please.[/I]

[B]Name:[/B] [I]Toa Whenua[/I]

[B]Kanohi Mask/Power:[/B] [I]Toa Whenua wears the Kanohi Ruru, the Great Mask of Night Vision. This mask enable him to light the way for the other Toa, as well as providing him with X-ray vision. Whether it has other vision power as well remains to be seen.[/I]

[B]Tools/Ability:[/B] [I]He carries two earthshock drills, which can punch holes in virtually anything as well as creating a powerful sonic force when rotated at maximum speed. They also channel his power to control earth.[/I]

[B]Biography:[/B] [I]Toa Metru of Earth and guardian of Onu-Metru, Whenua has the love history common to all archivists. He still cannot believe he went from being a Matoran one moment to a Toa the next. He is still happiest when he is down in the Archives, and is much less comfortable when visisting other Metru.

Whenua has his feet on the ground. He knows the Toa Metru are powerful, but he also knows they are not invincible. This makes him a bit more cautious than some of the others, except perhaps in cases where the Archives are threatened. He quarrels with Nuju, who believes the past is unimportant, and with Onewa, who enjoys poking fun at the Toa he refers to as an “Onu-Matoran stock clerk.”[/I]

[COLOR=TEAL][SIZE=1]Right then, you all have the parts you've applied for [Except Kyoober of course] but I want to say something to Cysword6. I'm letting you because I have a feeling you can be a gd RPG if you try hard enough so I just want you to make sure that you'll keep up with the posting, the quality and such etc. And that goes for all of you as well, once we have a Toa Onewa I can start the RPG. So until then.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Boo]

[color=gray][b]Name:[/b] Toa Onewa

[b]Element:[/b] Stone

[b]District:[/b] Po-Metru

[b]Appearance:[/b] [IMG]http://cache.lego.com/images/shop/Products/TYPE10/LEGO-US-2057/Set384x288us008604.jpg[/IMG]

[b]Kanohi Mask/Power:[/b] Onewa wears the Kanohi Komau, the Great Mask of mind control, which allows him to direct the actions of other beings.

[b]Tools/Ability:[/b] He carries two Proto Pitons, which he uses to scale buildings and swing from one to another. They also serve to channel his power to control stone.

[b]Biography:[/b] Tao Metru of Stone and guardion of Onu-Metru, Onewa was a master stone carver before his transformation. Like many residents of Po-Metru, he looks down on those from Ko-Metru and Onu-Metru as not doing ?real work?. Onewa is courageous almost to the point of being reckless, and refuses to accept defeat. He will always find a way to win.

Onewa has no truly close friends among the Toa Metru, mainly because he is so quick to anger. He particularly rides Vakama and Nuju, neither one of whom are his Idea of a Toa. But he can always be trusted in a crisis and has more than once come up with a plan to save the situation. He has enormous confidence in his own ability to achive.
