Who wrote the Bionicle books? (in-universe)

When talking about the Bionicle books with fans, Greg Farshtey (the real world author) would sometimes take a page from J.R.R. Tolkien and say that the stories were actually texts from the Bionicle universe that he "translated" into English. Which got me thinking, if these were stories that were written in the Bionicle universe, who wrote them?

And I thought the cutest answer would be, it was the Chroniclers who wrote them! And the more I thought about it, the more I realized this theory works surprisingly well! There were 3 main Chroniclers (Takua, Hahli, and Kopeke) corresponding to the 3 series of Bionicle books (Chronicles, Adventures, and Legends)

Takua was Cathy Hapka, and the primary author of the Chronicles series, relating the adventures of the Toa Mata to the island of Mata Nui. In some cases it was implied that he was either there in background of the events, or simply heard of them from the Toa themselves during his many conversations with them. The exception was Tales of the Masks, written by Greg Farshtey Hahli. The Tales are included in the Chronicles as they take place during that time, though as they are the story of how the Turaga decided to reveal Metru Nui just before the Kohlii Tournament, they were only revealed and published after Takua ascended to the ranks of Toa, and are the first events she recorded. Mask of Light was also written by Takanuva as a final chronicle relating his own journey to find the Seventh Toa. It is often grouped with the Chronicles, though as he was no longer officially the Chronicler, it is sometimes considered separately.

Next is the Adventures, written by Hahli, translated by Greg Farshtey. You can really see the distinct writing styles between Hahli and Takua emerge here. She recorded the Adventures as she was canonically there for almost all of the Turaga's council sessions where they told the Toa Nuva.

The Legends series was written by Kopeke, who became Chronicler after it was discovered Hahli had also been transformed into a Toa. Kopeke learned of many of the events that took place second hand from Hahli, who canonically told him of the events in the Pit, and probably told him of the adventures on Voya Nui. Having been given his stories from the previous Chronicler, Kopeke's writing style is noted fro being highly similar Hahli's both written by Greg Farshtey. Kopeke also later learned of the events in Karda Nui when the Toa Nuva returned home. Much of these Legends had to be written in secret during the Reign of Shadows, as a hope to keep the stories of the Toa heroes alive during the dark times.

But then of course there are the Bara Magna books, and I believe these were recorded by Berix, who took on the role of Chronicler in Mata Nui's band of Glatorian in their adventures. After the Reformation, he worked closely with Kopeke to recount the events of the Battle of Bara Magna, leading to his style being heavily influenced by Kopeke's and Hahli's Farshtey styles.

And so there you have it! Those are the true authors of the Bionicle books in my headcanon! Let me know what you guys think about this

The Chronicler's company being transformed into toa, but no one's element is what they expected.

Six Matoran touch the Toa stones at kini nui as they guard the Toa Mata's escape route from Mangaia and get WAY more than they bargained for.

Toa Kapura blinks and suddenly every Magnet on Mata Nui goes haywire.

Toa Macku yelling because suddenly everyone's thoughts are in her head all at once

Toa Tamaru secretly being relieved that she doesn't Immediately start flying, and then all the plants around her grow up to ten feet high and burst into bloom.

Toa Hafu laughs- but the joke stops being funny when his Carving tools get metalbent when he tries to activate his powers over stone.

Toa Taipu looks thoughtful as he picks up a rock, and then calmy watches it drift weightlessy into the sky like an untethered balloon.

Toa Kopeke is silent for a long time. Then, without a word, they zap a stray Infected Rahi with a lightning bolt.

Once Takua picks his jaw up off the ground, he probably says something like, "At least I'm still a normal Ta-Matoran, thank Mata Nui."

...No one lets him live that comment down after the whole Mask of Light incident.

I wasn't feeling the best today, so I had to comfort myself with a bit of bionicle doodles. I've been meaning to draw more motoran anyways, so I present to you Takua's posse~ I'm sure you can pin point who is who, so I won't list them out for the fun of it~

Enjoy these adventurous bonks~

[ID: 3 digital drawings of human Bionicle characters: Tamaru, Kopeke, and Macku. In the first, Tamaru, wearing a long teal overcoat, smiles and runs to the left holding a big trans flag behind her, smiling. At the bottom left it says "Ch. 2: Calm Before the Storm "I'm a bravesister of Le-Koro!"" In the second, Kopeke, silhouetted against a starry sky and snowy ground, sits in the middle of a lightning strike, looking and reaching upwards. At the bottom it says "Chapter 5: Bitter Work (Part 1) "The last thing Kopaka saw before the world seemed to go white was Kopeke sitting in the center of the blast, the Toa of Lightning crackling with the power of the sudden storm."" In the third, Kopeke sits with his knees pulled up to his chest, with Macku kneeling beside him on the left and Tamaru sitting beside him with her hand on his shoulder on the right. They're all on a stone wall. At the bottom left, it says "Ch. 23: "Picking Up the Pieces" "Kopeke frowned, curling his knees up against his torso before shaking his head dismissively. He'd be fine." End ID.]

I've wanted to do some fanart for @byz-was-here's fanfic A Company of Toa for ages and finally got to do it! These are a few of my favourite parts of the story so far, mostly featuring my boy Kopeke because of how much I love a him. <3 I have some more ideas as well but they're going to take longer (they're going to wind up being comics lmao) so here are these ones! Please read ACOT if you like canon-compliant what-if AU fics! (It's not actually a human!bonkle fic I just. don't want to draw robots lol)

I can't be the only one who likes to imagine the Chronicler's Company as the next Toa team, right?

Since a Matoran's ideal of a Toa influences what they look like when they become a Toa they each have a different style. Toa- Kanohi- Style- Weapons- notes Kapura -Kualsi -Hagah -Twin Pyro Daggers Macku- Kakama -Mahrii -Tidal Trident -The kakama has a water breathing device  similar to the Mahrii Hafu -Kiril -Inika -Carvers Hammer- The Hammer is a big big hammer with a head that comes off to reveal another hammer inside. The head then doubles as a backpack for his carving tools Taipu -Ruru - Metru- Terra Drill Lance Tamaru- Volitak- Mangai- Rhotuka Launcher on the side of his right arm and two Kanoka Wind Shredders (Kanoka Launchers with blades attached) as well as a Volo Lutu Launcher on his left arm/hand (basically a bionicle version of the Predator) Kopeke -Rode -Mata/Nuva - Arctic Axe

Oh hey look, it's a thing I started working on in August and only just finished now. Took me like, 10 minutes.

Anyway, I was inspired by those new canon Le-Matoran we got for 810, so I thought I'd go ahead and fill in some more gaps. Allow me to present the post-Rebuilding looks of Midak, as well as Podu and the Vuata Maca tree wizard from Quest for the Toa, along with a recolour of Kopeke in his proper dark gray instead of the erroneous light gray he appears with in MNOGII. The colour manips aren't perfect, but I'm pretty happy with them overall.

I also threw in 03 versions of Kopeke, Taipu, and Hafu with their 01 colours and Kanohi, just for fun and in case anyone wanted to see it.

The Chronicler’s company! Most of these are my designs, though @agatharights​ came up with the rough concepts for both Kapura and Macku by way of sketches and I opted to tweak them a little and add them here.

Bonus doodles under the cut:

One of those ships that I am definitely alone in (the canonical basis for this is less than zero) but I think it’d be cute.

And bonus Nixie! She gets a more MNOG-looking Pakari ‘cuz I thought it’d look nifty.

Chronicler's company Toa team Toa tools:

Tamaru - long handled hammer (to bonk the oldbone and bogfoot)

Kopeke - flat chisel longsword (a rapier more or less)

Hafu - duel pickaxes (double the perfection)

Taipu - iron caber (a big metal log to toss and hit people with)

Kapura - flame sai (he came from behind, like a whisper)

Macku - duel headed oar staff (boating is COOL)

Takua - a mirror buster sword (to reflect his own light and show others their own)

Uhh idk that's all if you think it's cool, awesome

A Bionicle Advent Calendar: December 3rd (Day 3)

The Prompt: Write a story that takes place in the snow.

The first winter on the reformed Spherus Magna came upon the northern hemisphere as a surprise to both the former Bara Magnans and the inhabitants of Mata Nui. Though the wise among them soon worked out the logic of seasons and the orbit of the planet, the first snow that blanketed the still-temporary lodgings of the Metrui Nuian Matoran were an unlooked for miracle of sparkling white.

"Ko-Wahi is back!" whispered the Ko-Matoran to each other, looking about to share the mystery with wonder. But their Turaga was nowhere to be seen.

"The settlement is covered in snow!" grumbled the other Matoran, the Ta-Matoran most of all, but even they had to admit that the thick, white coating was beautiful at first glance.

"Can we clean everything out in time for Naming Day?" asked the Matoran.

"Toa Tahu can melt it all," suggested some. "I'm sure the Golden Armour has another trick or three he could use too," suggested others."

"Absolutely not," Toa Kualus told the Matoran. "This is the nature of this planet: we shall not unnaturally warm the climate just to enjoy a feast. I will clear the roads of drifts and we shall have fires in the Great Rotunda, but this is the season of Ko-Wahi and we shall enjoy it."

"Enjoy it," echoed some of the Ta-Matoran doubtfully.

"Indeed," said Kualus. "The sun is bright, and the snow is fair. There are many pastimes that can be enjoyed in the snow. Find your Ko-Matoran friends and let them show you how to sled and ski and skate, and then huddle tired around the fires of the Ta-Matoran at the end of the day in burrows of the Onu-Matoran, snug and warm."

It was a merry day for those who heeded the Toa's advice, but not all did. While Onewa and Matau dragged a reluctant Dume sledding down the slopes of Lhikan River gorge, to the amusement of all, two of the Turaga stayed behind.

"Nuju is missing," Nokama told Vakama. "He has not been seen all day."

"It is Naming Day tomorrow," said Vakama. "I am not surprised. He is withdrawn."

"Will you speak to him?" asked Nokama. "You are his closest friend these days."

"He will not listen to me where his sorrow is concerned," said Vakama, "but I will ask Kualus--when he has finished clearing the roads."

Kualus listened to Vakama's words and promised to seek Nuju. He found the Turaga not far from the settlement, covering in snow save for his eyes. He had gone out in the night and let the snow accumulate upon him, only a flickering of his Matatu now and again brushing the snow from his gaze.

<<Nuju, your brothers and sister sent me to find you,>> said Kualus in their shared secret tongue. Nuju said nothing.

<<It is the first Naming Day you have celebrated without him,>> said Kualus. <<The first since before you returned to Metru Nui.>>

Still, no answer.

<<Vakama told me how it was custom, in Ko-Koro, for you to give each of your Matoran a gift on Naming Day, that this was really the doing of Matoro, who said it was on your behalf. He thinks you cannot bear to let the day pass without the tradition, and that yet without Matoro you think you have no voice.>>

<<Matoro made Naming Day special,>> said Nuju at last. <<Without him, it is a void that pleads to be filled. I do not wish my Matoran to sorrow on this day, but I cannot rejoice with them.>>

<<Grief and joy are lungs of the same breath,>> said Kualus. <<Let me translate for you, as he did.>>

<<He left the gifts,>> said Nuju, ignoring the offer. <<He started them early: one for each Ko-Koronan, and he had the first ones made even before we returned to Metru Nui. After he... after the news that... I finished them, meaning to give them to Ko-Koronans as a last gift from him, but... I cannot speak. You cannot be my voice, as he was. I will take no interpreter, save Kopaka.>>

<<Kopaka is not back,>> said Kualus, thinking the absence of the Toa Mahri to rescue him and Pohatu from the Red Star likely wasn't helping Nuju's grief. <<And he did not speak our tongue the last time we met.>>

<<He will learn,>> said Nuju firmly, without explaining.

<<Then let us give his presents without a speech,>> said Kualus, <<in the dead of night, when none are watching. We will saythey are from Matoro, and they will be.>>

Nuju thought about it, and then nodded, and with the movement, his Matatu cleared him off the snow.

The next morning, the Matoran woke to find gifts sitting at the doors of their shelters: all alike, small trinkets carved of soapstone: the not-forgotten shape of Mount Ihu seen from the slopes behind Ko-Koro, and a small figure of Toa Kopaka Nuva as he had first appeared upon emerging from the victory over the Bohrok in tiny relief in the foreground.

"It is the Naming Day gifts Matoro used to give on behalf of Turaga Nuju," Kopeke explained to a Po-Matoran neighbour, as he rushed to gather with the other Ko-Matoran to see if Nuju had returned home. All worried for their Turaga, knowing the depths of his mourning.

To their surprise, Nuju was standing before the doors of his home, expecting them, and when he saw that all his tribe had gathered, he whistled sharply for silence. Then he nodded firmly to Kopeke.

"It is as though Matoro were here with us now," said Kopeke and Nuju nodded, gesturing to him to go on.

"Matoro gave himself for the Mask of Life, to save life--the life of the Great Spirit and the life of us all," said Kopeke. Nuju nodded. "As long as we live, we reward his sacrifice, and he rejoices in our joy. Our life is his last naming gift."

"Well said, Chronicler," whispered Turaga Whenua on the edge of the crowd as Kopeke tried to vanish into the dispersing crowd. The Ko-Matoran, seeing that Nuju was not, apparently, distraught, were turning to their own small celebrations, when Toa Gali soared over the city in her adaptive armour.

"The Toa Mahri have returned!" she cried in a loud voice over the mostly gathered Ko-Matoran. "Toa Kopaka and Toa Pohatu have returned!"

And with the Toa Mahri around them, the two missing Toa Nuva strode into the settlement, being given a greeting fit for conquering heroes returning in triumph, but as they approached the gathering, the Ko-Matoran parted, and Kopaka saw Nuju running toward him, and descended to a knee to bow to the Turaga, who took his head in both hands and looked into his eyes with never-before-seen emotion.

"It is a miracle," whispered Nuju in Matoric, his voice croaking with disuse at the long-forgotten sounds. "Matoro has brought you home."

It is still said, long years after, that Toa Matoro still lives in the eternal snows of Spherus Magna's northern pole, and every year when Naming Day comes and winter has covered the planet's northern hemisphere, he leaves his home with his magic Rahi, and brings the gifts of the Mask of Life to all the Matoran who have served the Great Spirit well during the past year and the Ko-Matoran recite his name first in their naming ceremonies.

A1, A16, B6, C8 for the BIONICLE asks?

A1 - Favourite character?

I’m going to go completely off the chain and instead of saying Matoro, I’m going to say Kopeke. Or at least just how I perceive him. Seriously, what an underrated character. This autistic artist that is the archetype Ko-Matoran that even most Ko-Matoran would be uncomfy around because of how quiet and frigid he is. He is so fucking shy and antisocial and just wants to sculpt and not be around anyone and you just KNOW he and Matoro are BFFs. I just. I’m So Soft for this introvert of introverts, this neurotypical nugget. You can fit so many depressions into him.

No but seriously, Kopeke is heavily underrated and oddly a very interesting character once you get a bit into his personality. It’s been stated that, while he seems excessively cold even by Ko standards, he is indeed just extremely shy and socially awkward. He’s so oddly diverse in his interests too On one hand, he is the quintessential depressed and talented artist that could probably whip out a functioning ice canon with nothing but a vaguely intact block of ice and a swiss army knife. On the other, he’s hardcore enough for sports that he took a Kohlii ball to the face, broke his mask, got a new one to honor his village leader, and went about his day like a fucking champion. He’s a GOALIE, and goalies are inherently insane and delightfully unhinged. He is also an absolute monster in the world’s deadliest and officiated game of snowball fighting. The guy just goes on his way after being frozen to a wall for god knows how long like nothing happened in the MNOG, and had the sheer talent to just casually carve out an intricate 3D key to get through a locked gate. Just, so casual, right??

And in spite of all his supposed faults and “weaknesses”, he still took on the mantle of Chronicler. A job that would require he make a leap out of his comfort zone over a distance akin to the parting of the red sea.

What. A. Fucking. Unit.

A16 - Favourite Rahi?

Oof, this is a bit difficult to answer because, aside from Pewku, I don’t really have much of any idea of what most other Rahi are like. I have the general idea of what they’re SUPPOSED to be like behaviorally, but otherwise… It’s a bit of a tie between the Frostelus and Frost Beetles. The Frostelus are fascinating to me as being semi-sapient and exceptionally intelligent Rahi not unlike Keetongu; intelligent enough for them to align with those who offer them a good trade, and to form their own makeshift tribes. They’re not nice of course, and in fact it was an undiscovered clan of Frostelus that wiped out Lhikan’s entire team. Yikes.

Frost Beetles I recently read up on, and again, I think they’re fascinating for not just their intelligence, but how they supposedly gain said intelligence. Matoro proposed a theory that the beetles consume Knowledge Crystals not just because they probably taste good, but so they can absorb the knowledge inside them. The theory hasn’t been proven or disproven (in fact it’s not even really being discussed since Metru-nui fell, go figure) but it would explain how and why they gain intelligence so quickly and the more they eat these crystals. I like smart animals/Rahi apparently.

B6 - Favourite canister?

Hands down the Bohrok canisters! As I kid, I thought it was the most hardcore thing to make the canisters see-through (after having my mom vigorously scrub the sticker goo off) so you can see your balled up Bohrok hanging inside like something out of Alien. I even filled the canisters with water for extra alien aesthetic (sadly did not comprehend the consequences until shit began growing and corroding). Nowadays, if I ever get another Bohrok set AND the canister, I have the knowledge and means to turn it into a glowy and bubbly lamp!

C8 - Which sets do you own?

Sadly all of my original childhood sets are long gone (RIP, childhood) but! On a whim last year, I found the rebuilt version of Matoro’s Matoran form on ebay! He now sits in my pen and pencil box watching me surf the interwebs. Occasionally he will hold my webcam for me! He is a lovely desk assistant.

Thank you for the ask!
