Dear, Mr. Farsthey,

 

1. What will happen to the BIONICLE story now and is there any opening for BIONICLE's story or theme to be revived?

2. I am not into much BIONICLE media, so when I watched the Toa Mahri Mini-Movie, what happened to Hewkii and Nuparu when they were sinking underwater?

3. Can you please tell me more about the Bone-Heads of Voo-Doo Island AKA Doo-Heads before it became BIONICLE? I know that the names were Axe, Blade, Flame, Kick, and Hook but can you tell me more?


Mr. Farshtey, can you please answer my question please? Happy

I have a few questions:

  • Would you consider Vi, Va, and Ge to be appropiate prefixes for the elements of Life, Time, and Creation, respectively? (Though admittedly, it probably isn't necessary due to a lack of Vi-Matoran, Va-Matoran, and Ge-Matoran)

       To elaborate, Vi is derived from vita, the Latin word for life, Va is taken straight from Vahi,

       and Ge is derived from Genesis, the Latin word for creation.

 

  • Have you considered making an FAQ, if only to save you the trouble of having to answer anything related to Ninjago 2014 future storylines on a way too frequent basis?

Thanks in advance.


1) I'd have to think about it

2) No, I haven't. I am just going to ignore questions I can't answer going forward.


1) Wouldn't it be more likeley for Va- to be time, Ig- to be Life, and ??? to be creation?

Of the 80+ books that you have published, which of them, if any, are non-LEGO?

At the risk of breaking the rules (no side conversations), I'll explain my reasoning a little more, though it'll be my only reply since I don't wanna push my luck:

 

From what I've noticed, there's no rule stating elemental prefixes have to be derived from a Kanohi name. As far as I can tell the only ones to do that currently are Light (Av, Avohkii) and Shadow (Kra, Kraakhan). Most prefixes outside the main six are based on other words, such as Psionics (Ce, Cerebrum), Jungle/the Green (Bo, Botany), and Lightning (Vo, Volt).

 

Ultimately I felt prefixes like Vi or Ge would sound better rather than ones derived from Ignika or whatever word will never be used for the Mask of Creation, while still retaining relevancy with their origin words. Va (Vahi) sounded better to me than Te (Tempus), however.

 

That said, here's hoping these get accepted someday.

As a side note that was meant to be a reply to alienduck but it looks like I wasn't able to add quotes. :/

I had three novels published in the early '90s and wrote or co-wrote a number of roleplaying game books.

I would say, given his behavior, that the largely benign rule of the GBs was something he had lost patience with. They created things, but then failed to take responsibility for their creations or intervene forcefully enough to stop disasters. I think Velika intended to take a .... firmer hand, and was eliminating as many powerful wild cards as he could.

Greg,what would happen if a revived being on the Red Star was killed?  Would he/she/it be revived a second time?  Would it keep on happening as long as a body is left to recover? Thinking

That is actually a great question, Daler, and I have a weird answer for you. No. The red star's sensors were programmed to sweep Mata Nui -- not its own interior. So if a revived being is killed WHILE ON THE RED STAR, the machinery won't know it and they will not be revived, The only way revival would happen would be if someone set things moving  manually.

Thank you, Greg! Happy  Wow.  Okay.  So, if the revived being was killed and then taken to the remains of the Great Spirit robot, would he/she/it be revived?  Also, how would one set things in motion manually?  Would they take the being to the revival machinery?  Again, thank you for that wonderful answer. Smile

Greg, I read in a previous post of yours that you never liked the idea of Vakama turning evil in 2005.  If you didn't like the idea:

 

A)  Why was it used?

B)  Who (if anyone) would you have liked to turn evil instead?

What is the written language of the Great Beings?  In their lab on Bara Magna, they had Matoran writing on the walls.  Also, do the Agori use the Matoran writing system?

Hi Greg.

 

How would the toa nuva deal with a swarm of kirikori nui(locust rahi) if the swarm invaded their home to eat the vegetation?

I have a fallow up question on this, could it be possible the kestora where killing off some of the ebings in the red star when things stoped working? It seemed to hint that in the story.
