User:Toa Alloy

I first discovered BIONICLE when I was just 7 years old, when I collected all of the strange, tiny lego figures from McDonald's. They were colourful and fun, and I brought them everywhere.

I'm an adult now, and BIONICLE has been a cornerstone of my creativity and inspiration for over a decade. Honestly, I don't know what kind of things I might have done, or ended up doing without it, but the Bionicle story has always been one of my biggest obsessions, alongside Star Wars and Mass Effect.

Gali was my first Toa, and although I had no idea she was female at the time, she was, and has, been my favourite since 2001. Years later, when I finally had access to wireless internet, I was blown away by the realization that she was the only female among the original 6. It made her even cooler, knowing that she was the only truly unique of all the Toa Mata.

Since then, I've read every existing BIONICLE book, comic and news article on the web, and save for a few odd, vague characters who had little impact on the overall story, I can name nearly every known Toa, Matoran, Turaga, Rahi, Bohrok, Rahkshi, Makuta, Barraki, etc. off by heart. Even most of the Kanohi!

My Favourite Pages

 * Avohkii: The Mask of Light has, without a doubt, been my favourite Kanohi since I first laid eyes on it during the Rahkshi era.
 * Toa of Water: Because of Gali, and later Hahli, (From playing MNOG:II) the Toa of Water will always be my favourite, although Magnetism is my favourite elemental power!
 * Kanohi: The mysterious and powerful masks of the Toa, Turaga and Matoran have always fascinated me. I've been wracking my brain since 2003 trying to figure out how LEGO's designers came up with such amazing and unique molds, with every single mask completely different. They each have a personality of their own, and I love it!
 * Bohrok-Kal: The Bohrok and their Krana were great, but when LEGO unleashed the Kal, I had to have them all! The first BIONICLE characters to possess these completely new powers of, Electricity, Plasma, Vacuum, Magnetism, Gravity and Sonics, they are incredibly cool!
 * Makuta/Teridax: I didn't learn his true name for nearly a decade, but The Makuta was one of the best parts about BIONICLE. His extremely long-reaching evil plan, his very real threat to the heroes, his ultimate demise at the hands of Mata Nui himself... Teridax was great, and I especially liked the alternate universe version!

Non-Canon (Made-Up) Elements - IN PROGRESS
Just for fun, I figured I would share some of the Elemental Ability descriptions I wrote down over the years, using the page format on this website. Enjoy!

Kinetics
Kinetics was an energetic Elemental Power involving momentum and inertia in the Matoran Universe and Spherus Magna. This was one of the most common elements, and was used frequently by Toa, Turaga, and Matoran.

Toa of Kinetics had almost perfect control of the element, while a Ki-Matoran was simply resistant to motion-sickness, and had great equilibrium. Turaga of Kinetics had powers somewhere in the middle.

All Toa, Matoran and Turaga of Kinetics were Female.

All users of this element were passively unaffected by vertigo, and boasted near-perfect balance.

Uses

 * Manipulating inertia
 * Generating inertia
 * Draining inertia from a moving target, forcing it to stop in its tracks
 * Increasing the inertia within a moving or static target, causing them to start moving at uncontrollable speeds
 * Using personal locomotion in and out of combat to empower oneself
 * Using quick motions to generate bursts of kinetic energy
 * Sensing the amount of kinetic potential within a moving target
 * Internalizing kinetic energy, allowing oneself to pass through solid objects by way of vibration
 * Unleashing a Kinetic Nova Blast. - Toa-exclusive

Optimal Pairings
Kinetics users benefit greatly from pairings that have access to the creation of solid objects. They can imbue almost anything with incredible amounts of physical energy, vastly increasing the impact of projectiles such as rocks, metal and hard-packed earthen material.

The best pairings for Toa include:
 * Magnetism
 * Stone
 * Earth
 * Iron
