I think it’ll be ok with your abilities and your weapons, and I don’t think I will implement a maximum handle size - just that they would be limited to what the character could wield and the amount of slots the weapon has.

Gotcha, I'll probably make a bow and a sword.

How do I insert images?

You can put images in messages or your character description using the code:
(The url has to be from an image hosting website though, so you will need to upload the picture to Imgur or something first)

To add new character portraits, you have to be the GM and in the updated version of the site. If you want me to do that, send me the image and I will add it in.

Does this work?

These are the weapons that I've made

No, the quality is too high. Toa allows you to start with two weapons with a quality tier of one higher than the one related to your starting level. In this case, you would need to have the weapons be quality level 1. Aside from that, I think the rest is ok, but you will need to change the amount of components on the weapons.

I've been putting up portraits of Kanohi on the new site - you should be able to use them if/when you switch over. I put up an Akaku for Omaukuh, but if you want me to switch it to a different one, I'll put it up.

But these are weapons that were made using E-Smith bonuses. As you can see in the sheet, it allows me to make them at 1 QT higher, so adding that to the bonus from them being Toa tools, that makes QT2.
As for Kanohi - I will try to make a MOC using a non-scoped Akaku, not a fan of scopes TBH.
No new players yet?

Oh, ok. I missed that on my first read through of your character.

There may be some new players soon, but we are currently talking to see how that will go.

Ok, we have a couple of new players - please feel free to discuss your various character builds and backstories. The restrictions for character creation are in the character creation thread, and the rules documents are linked in the expectations thread.

Splendid! Who are the other folks and what are they thinking about doing for the elements?

The plan was a Toa with the psionics element

In reply to Nuestra (msg # 21):

Oh that's splendid! Love Psionics, but I have another character for that element and I wanna try different ones out.
Do you need help making the character?

Which archetypes do the other players want to get? I have E-Smith because Crystal is all about making items.
What about attack forms? I went with E-Armour, E-Strike and AoE because those seem the most straightforward for this low-level game.
And for the Kanohi I picked an Akaku to have an easier time finding stuff. Plus I had given this character an Akaku previously when thinking up concepts so it worked out quite nicely!
How about you guys?

Hello, I'm one of the new players in the game. I'm a long-time fan of Bionicle and I have followed it since the beginning. I applied with Pokawa, a Toa of Stone. Build-wise, I'm thinking some kind of beefy frontliner/support-type; I'm still learning the mechanics.

Edit: I did have a question. I saw you said we could use any Kanohi mask that didn't have the Henderson scale warning on it. I saw that the mask examples in this game thread stopped after the Inika. Did you want us to just use the masks from the ones you shared in the Kanohi thread?

In reply to Pokawa (msg # 24):

Well hello there! I can always answer any questions you might have, I am quite fluent in this game's syntax and can give lots of ideas.
You say you want someone beefy - do you intend to have a shield, or just rely on your body?
Do you want to use elements a lot or mostly rely on weapons?

In reply to Omaukuh (msg # 25):

With my character, I'm thinking at first he relies on his own strength and his weapon. He doesn't necessarily believe in himself or his place in the universe, etc. I don't imagine him really using his elemental powers all too often, but that'll change over time.

Right now, I think I'll have him be a big body, but a shield does sound really appealing, though...

Otherwise, I went ahead and chose the Kanohi Elda.

I put up a Kanohi Elda on the game portraits. If you go over to the new site, you should be able to access it for your character.

Thank you so much! It looks great.

In reply to Omaukuh (msg # 17):

I should have mentioned earlier, but I have put up a non-scoped akaku on the game portraits as well.

In reply to Pokawa (msg # 26):

In that case go for the Titan Archetype: you get to be one size category larger whenever you want to be, and it increases the size of your damage dice! Plus for getting 3 levels in defence you get DR to any damage type and resistance to one physical damage type.

In reply to GM (msg # 29):

Thanks!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

In reply to GM (msg # 32):

Yup, Merry Christmas!
And how do I attach images to show Omaukuh's moc?

Use the code <img sr c="image urlgoeshere"> (without the spaces)

The image has to be hosted on imgur or another site like that, then you copy the image address into the code.
