As cold as a Ko-Matoran

First name: Greatest Last name: Being. One Velika on Spherus Magna and another on the island of Okoto Serious ask blog when I get an rp going, then I shit post if left alone for too long and no I don't talk in riddles.

One of the many artifacts crafted by the legendary Artakha, the Spear of Fusion was a weapon of amazing power. Throughout its long history, the weapon changed hands several times. Many of the most villainous and powerful factions have possessed the spear at one point or another. Sometime after reaching its last wielder, it was ultimately destroyed.

As the name implied, those wielding the spear could fuse beings together or divide them. Such an ability was not without its ill side effects, however. New beings formed as the result of a fusion became completely twisted and mad. While individuals split into two separate halves were stripped of several traits, including cognitive and physical abilities, to make up the newly formed half.

It's okay, I have the parts and I'm fixing it, when I'm done I'll put it on bid.

[ask-velika]

I have a condition where if I want to do something to attack another I have to get permission. So can I please set someone on fire?

Alas my friend, I am not the master of yours, or your victim's fate. My advice is to ask either the owners of the property that you'd like to set on fire or even the recipient of your flame fascination. They can give a definite answer.

[ask-velika]

Can I set someone on fire? Please?

Is this an ask for permission or an ask for the ability for Pyromancy? I mean you can do whatever you want just expect consequences. If you want me to give you anything you have to pay me first

[ask-velika]

Go get a soda and watch camp camp

I'd get a carbonated beverage but they haven't figured out how to make one yet in this desert wasteland. I'd make one but last time I made something that qualifies as "advanced technologies" they strapped guns to it and took out the seat cushions. Also I have no idea what your "camp camp" is.

[ask-velika]

Hi Mata nui

*uncovers blanket and squint eyes* W-what? Oh. Okay uh. *clears throat* Whilst I'm not your Mata Nui, I am, in some way, a "kindred spirit" with him being referred to as the Great Spirit, I am one of it's creators, The Great Beings.

[ghost-mantis]

Headcanon that everyone from Axonn’s species derives their name from neurological terms. Dendrite, Synapse, Myelin, and Soma just to name a few. The Great Beings programmed the names in as a small joke but no one outside of Velika has caught on.

I'm partial to the legends of Hypothalamus, the Conquering Hero hehehe....

Twisted, weak, malformed, unnatural. These words, and more, perfectly described what resulted from Karzahni’s every attempt to repair the damaged Matoran sent to him. To compensate for his shortcomings, he equipped the Matoran he shoddily rebuilt with weapons. This allowed them to defend themselves, even in their weakened state.

Velika’s Power Carvers were two of those weapons. Despite his abominable state, these weapons proved to be quite the boon. They allowed the inventive Matoran to carve into most solid objects, giving him the ability to break open locks or harvest any materials he needed for one of his crafty new inventions.

[ask-velika]

Ouch...

[mind-of-makuta]

Who or what created the Great Beings?

I would not know; that was before my time. My best guess, though, is that the Great Beings resulted from a tragic failure of natural selection.

[mugbearerscorner]

@ask-velika It’s on.

[ask-velika]

Much like our failed creations, The Makuta. After getting a god complex and slacking on their work, they eventually were wiped out by their own foolish acts. And to answer the earlier question, stardust and lots of time eventually led to the creation of the great beings.

[mind-of-makuta]

“Slacking off”? I toiled day and night just to provide for the Matoran, and keep them from killing each other. And even if my compatriots were negligent, you are in no position to judge: You spent 100,000 years complacently observing, as the universe fell into chaos time and time again - You didn’t even lift a finger to prevent my takeover.

And before you spout any nonsense about “having planned for everything”, let me remind you that the reformation of Spherus Magna resulted not from your grand scheme, but sheer chance. You fancy yourself a god, “Velika”, but the only great about you is your hubris.

[ask-velika]

You weren’t supposed to keep the matoran in line, that’s what the toa were for. You were supposed to create creatures to populate the land. And you spend thousands of years planning that take over only to squander it in an attempt to destroy Mata nui. You foolishly sent him away in the mask of life only to chase it later and be destroyed. You could have sent it into a black hole or just left it on Aqua magna to drown. Or even kept it locked away! Your foolish impulse costed you your spot. And I didn’t plan spherus magna, I only planned your hubris, a rivalry with someone who didn’t even know you, leading to your downfall. I am no God, but neither are you. Some simpletons may say we are similar, but I’m no impulsive fool. I’ve played the long game. I’ve lived a very long life, and after you are but a bad legend to keep young agori from wandering at night, I’ll still be alive, laughing to myself about the time the mighty Teridax couldn’t leave well enough alone.

[mind-of-makuta]

Why yes, it would be a Toa’s duty… a pity you lacked the wisdom to place any in Metru Nui. It was your shortsightedness that forced me to do the duties of Toa in addition to mine, so feel free to criticize yourself.  

For that matter, your people’s ultimate goal was the restoration of Spherus Magna - just how did you plan on doing that if you were also counting on my demise? The answer is, you didn’t: You never even imagined that I would take control of the Universe itself, and so you were powerless to interfere. 

Face it, “Velika”: I am the true master of the long game, and a greater mastermind than you could ever hope to be. My plan was successful because I prepared for all possible outcomes well in advance. Yours, on the other hand, began to implode the day you chose to grant me sapience. Spherus Magna may have been ultimately restored, but only due to the most improbable of coincidences - not because of your plans, but in spite of them. 

Oh, and good luck trying to take over this planet: After my reign over the Makutaverse, you will find few people willing to accept another autocrat… let alone one that is four feet tall and powerless.

[ask-velika]

My kind does not rule, you imbecil. We created the tools for our creations to make their own path, their own way. We had no care who was leading or protecting as long as the duties were done.

And restoration takes time, I have all the time in the world. Even if you were to kill Mata nui and enact supremacy over the lands it would be a matter of time before something were to happen to you. I will admit that it was impressive how you gained control of the great spirit robot, however it was still not for long.

You say you planned for all possibilities except for the one where you gave your rival "mercy" and allowed him the tools for your demise. You only realized how foolish you were and tried to fix that problem. My plans were finished because I had fellow scholars of my kind assist in the mission. We have toyed with you history for eons, your examples of chance and luck is but variables that we have changed or ended in our test.

You misinterpret my rule and you give yourself far too much credit into thinking that it is in anyway comparable to yours. The only thing you managed was to create unity in the residents of the universe, unity against you. My rule will be a far better and peaceful time. A grand age of technological triumph in a post war world.

Now that GregF confirmed the Earth Tribe is the source of all evil in Bionicle (page 887 of Chat with Greg Farshtey), I must ask, how are you going to punish them once you take full control of Spherus Magna?

I mean. I'm not really gonna do much. Maybe help them be less evil. Or send them underground.

[ghost-mantis]

Ignore Me!

AU where the Great Beings could never actually hide themselves from being seen and heard by their creations. Everyone in the GSR knew who they were and that they were standing right there, but pretended not to see them because they either felt bad for them (they were trying so hard to be invisible), or figured pretending they weren’t actually there would get them out of the way faster and they could get back to work.

Great Being 1: (Walking Into GSR Supply Depot) “Do you think we have enough supplies to finish the foundation to this island?”

Great Being 2: “Probably.”

Matoran Welder: “Actually we’re going to run a bit short on protodermis support beams on the south end.”

Great Beings 1 and 2:…

Matoran Welder:..

Matoran Welder: *Loudly* I appear to be running out of supplies, I’ll just go get some more, right now. *Hurridly walks away*

Great Being 1: …You don’t think he actually heard us do you?

Great Being 2: Of course not, no one noticed when we dug those 777 stairs did they?

Great Being 1: Well, they did spend the day covering their ears and glaring at us while we did.

[ask-velika]

This is a very accurate statement regrettably...

HERESY!!! STOP FOLLOWING THESE FALSE GODS AND REPENT! OUR LORD KAPURA IS COMING SOON. BE READY, AND DO NOT FALL INTO THE SHADOWS AWAY FROM THE WARMTH KAPURA PROVIDES!

All praise Kapura. Kapura is love, Kapura is life. He is getting faster.

Did you and your brothers even try to do something about the dreaming plague?

Yes... regrettably. As with most any outside force that threatened our creations or experiments we attempted to stop and even cure the epidemic. Yet the ones who were tasked eventually succumbed to the disease itself. Now we do not need to sleep or dream, but we require other things involving cognitive functions. These were inhibited, and much like a butterfly without its gift of flight they were weakened, dying slowly. So yes, dear traveler. We tried to cure it. But we eventually had it "quarantined" a large desert helps bury secrets you see. However they eventually resurfaced... but we were long gone on the robot by then.
