Also known as Bionicle Rex in the community section of BZPower.com, Rich joined BZCommunity back in July of 2001 and in November became the forum's first Assistant Administrator. While contributing time at BZ, Rich became the co-webmaster of Kanohi-Power.com upon the departure of it's co-founder, Xtian. Currently Rich coordinates activities in all areas of BZPower. He is in charge of the selection and maintenance of the staff in the forums. Also on the forums, he sets policy and is in charge of its enforcement.

Leaving BZPower in early 2005, Rich returned just before the new year to run things during BZPower Admin Matt's absence, and will hold his spot until he returns.

Jon initially served as the Forum Master of BZPower.com, meaning he was in charge of the inner workings of the forum, from its design to the wonderful ranks everyone enjoys, and played a large role in setting policy and enforcing it. However, he has since settled into a more behind the scenes role. Jon now serves as the manager of BZPower's Premier Membership program, Staff Writer for the news section, and has developed into BZPower's official product review person through his series of great reviews he has completed on many different Bionicle products.

She was made an ST amidst somewhat traumatic events. She was further pranked in increasingly strange ways as an ST. She was scared half to death just prior to becoming a moderator. She got pranked the very night she became a moderator. And so on. If she hasn't sought help yet, she really should.

But if you must know, she's not going to go on a crazed screamy rampage anytime soon.

Polo enjoys a variety of things, some including: reading, video games, friends, nice weather, and most things musical. He plays guitars, pianos, trombones, the bass, and on occasion attempts the violin. Polo sings frequently, blessed with a better-than-average bass voice. He can recommend some good music to you if you wish.

Toe-uh-rah-guh, noun: from the BIONICLE words “Toa” and “Turaga”

While doing some work for this place called “college,” Toaraga ran across a site appropriately named “BZPower” via a link to one of the news articles, made a post in said article's talkback, and soon discovered there was more to the site, so much more. He remained a fairly active individual until 2006 (he would then become several individuals); after holding a random conversation with Black Six, Toaraga was contacted a couple days later and asked to be a Forum Assistant. It would be a lie to say he refused, so we won't; in fact, he became the first one for that year to be precise.

After many months of service, Toaraga was asked to replace the temporary COT Forum Leader munkeymunkey, who had been filling in for Janus, so by proxy, Toaraga replaced Janus as a COT Forum Leader. And there were those other forums too. After many months as a Forum Leader, Toaraga was once again asked to replace Janus, this time as the Blog Leader, as well as continue to fill the role of Forum Leader. Toaraga accepted the challenge and was officially instated in September 2007 with his new position.

In May 2008, Janus stepped down as Global Moderator, and Toaraga was asked for the third time to replace Janus, though it was never really in those exact words. For about two weeks, Toaraga also continued his other role as Blog Leader, staying on until his replacement Makaru was ready. Toaraga now happily resides in the shoes of a Global Moderator and has since decided to stop replacing Janus. He decided to keep the shoes because they fit so well.

Off-site he sometimes enjoys hand-coding basic HTML along with many "real world" tasks. For more information about Toaraga, visit his blog because he likes the blatant advertising.

Bionicle has been a major part of Shanny's life ever since 2001, and BZC and KP ever since 2002. He hung around for many a year after first finding the Bohrok in a magazine and going online looking for more. Shan found KP and has been around since the old Rahi Safari BBC contest. Finally Shannara joined as Destiny on March 15, 2003 to enter BBC 11. He has in fact entered every contest he has seen since then. (Which is all so far)

Shan doesn't remember when he became an ST. Or Premier either. But he does know he is the proud winner of BBC 26. All three were great achievements for him and all have made a positive impact on him. Shan also runs the BBC History topic, keeping him very attached to the forum.

You may find Shannara in the GD. Or Artwork. Or S&T. Or the Library. But usually he just hangs around in the BBC, bein' his dorky self and having a lot of fun in the process. :)

In his real life, ccso35 is a Deputy Sheriff in Montana (his screen name has to do with that) and lives with his wife and dogs in the middle of nowhere. All though he has more interests than there is room to list here, his main ones include firearms training and maintenance, SWAT, computer forensics, mountain biking, paintball, Lego Star Wars sets and of course everything Bionicle.

HH is like, this 19-year-old girl or dog or something. And like, she may furiously read Bionicle books and swoon over Link, but she won't admit to being a geek. Mostly because she has like a bazillion outfits and talks on the phone everyday. She doesn't like, mind confusing people. She is persistent and like, will do almost anything to make extra money. But people say she's really sweet and nice and never gets angry and stuff. She swears it's a curse. Seriously.

Oh, Bionicle history? Okay, like, one day her little brother bought Toa Mata Pohatu, and wanted her to install the little CD he came with. After an hour or so of clicking, she like, was completely hooked. She's like, been spending money on Bionicle ever since.

She is like, currently studying to be a comic artist. Even though she took this huge course in writing, and has a cute little diploma, she hasn't published anything yet. She appreciates manga, ice cream, bucket hats, Lego (dur), Gail Carson Levine, Nana Kitade, and kittens. She also like, would appreciate her coworkers, but they won't give her coffee. Probably a smart thing. And like, she doesn't really talk like this (often.) Her skills/hobbies include writing, drawing (so she thinks), dancing, playing piano and guitar, traveling, hating work, and like, being hyper.

HH also wants you to know that like, the next Library contest will come out when: It comes out. Arigato.

And her picture is 12 years old. =3

Janus is not for sale for $19.95 Canadian, nor is he available at major retailers.

Jeremy, or as you probably know by his rather self-loathed alias on BZP, Kex, is really a normal (haha, RIGHT) 17 year old. He enjoys all types of rock music, movies, T.V, video games, and mainly spending time with his friends and family. He is currently anticipating what the future has in store for him.

As far as BZPower goes, he was one of the original (and now obsolete) BBC Assistants, and was eventually promoted to Forum Assistant in August of 2005, and again to Forum Leader in March of 2008. He currently staffs BBC, Sets, COT, and LGD and hopes to continue to make BZP a better community while he's here.

Kopaka's Ice Engineering, whose real name is Byron Foret, hails from southeast Louisiana. He is 26 years old, and received his Bachelor's of Science in Engineering (Civil specialty) from McNeese State University. (He also spent a semester of graduate school at the University of Akron Spring 03.) A registered Engineering Intern in the state of Louisiana, he currently works in the enviromental engineering department at Digital Engineering & Imaging in Kenner, LA, outside New Orleans. At current, Hurricane Katrina not only created a fair amount of work to be done, but also rendered his apartment uninhabitable, which leaves him very little regular free time online.

He is known for being one of the more personable moderators of BZP (when he's around), and one of the most longwinded as well. A favorite motto of his is "You're not as dumb as you think you are, either," and a personal quest of his is to debunk the imposing terminology and jargon of subjects he is familiar with, and share the knowledge with anyone who'd give him the time of day (if he's in a talkative mood). A devout follower of Christ (and not about to accuse anyone else of not being one), KIE (as is his going 'tagline' signature) discovered BIONICLE while on a summer missionary trip in northeast Ohio, and discovered BZ (now BZP) from a link from kanohipower.com. He registered in mid-October 2001 (520th member, according to the original membership roster) and was made a moderator at the end of January 2002. He also holds the distinction of being the first Premier Member of BZ, and, now that Binkmeister (Kelly) is on the administration staff, KIE is the longest-standing Premier Member (technically Premier Forum Leader) as well. Currently KIE moderates the Games/Trivia and Voting Booth forums, being the longest standing moderator in the latter.

He is also bilingual, speaking English and French.

While Bionicle is not the absolute highlight of his life anymore, his interest is ignited again by the 2006 storyline, and MM has resumed writing his epic and is developing several others. Music and art have taken their place in his life, and he is rediscovering his appreciation for family while striving to keep up with the BZP Forums.

munkeymunkey is an eccentric, energetic high school senior who sends most spare time writing, biking, reading, running, kayaking, hiking, and dancing in his sparsely populated hometown. For a small build, munkeymunkey actually has a very powerful voice, which is often used on the stage and public speaking for shy friends. Activities of note include concert, marching, and jazz band, work with multiple acting troops (as well as infamous high school musicals), cross country running, NHS, and a determined protest against involvement in student council because of a "dislike" for politics. Having gone to the same school for 15 years (from Pre-Pre-K through 12), munkeymunkey is quite ready to escape to the wider world of college, however, there is a realization that there is a comfort to high school that will not be immediately present next September.

J.R.R. Tolkien is a great mentor as a linguist, and munkeymunkey's own constructed language is currently being used to write short stories. Connections in Egypt are also spreading the possibility that other people besides close friends and teachers will actually start learning it as well, which is exciting and frightening at the same time. It may also be worth noting that munkeymunkey will be majoring in geography with a focus in GIS next year at university, which was partially inspired by a project last year in which this crazy kid self-taught ArcGIS script and form writing to jump-start a GIS initiative for a ecological management in the rare and richly diverse area that munkeymunkey calls home.

Lastly, munkeymunkey likes to quote Winston Churchill: "Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened."

Omicron, also known as Omi on BZP, is the witty staff member and also one of the eldest. He is also the most bodacious person ever. Studies have proven this.

In real life, his real name is Shilo. He was formally a DJ for 2 radio stations and majored in Broadcasting at the New England Institute of Art, but now he attends Holyoke Community College majoring in Liberal Arts. In his spare time, Shilo enjoys billiards, photography, traveling, music, video games, cosplay, and the ladies.

Shilo is known in the Lego community for coordinating Bionicle at Brickfest 2006 and Brickfest PDX 2007.

Creative slacker: only builds an MOC, updates an epic or makes art if he's really, really, really bored. Good at all three, though. Sleeps long, drinks deep, thinks not.

Once an ST, now a Forum Leader, but always a loyal BZPower member, Screenguy joined the forums April 29th, 2003. After spending over a year getting to know members, learning more about the Bionicle storyline, and doing his best to keep BZPower a positive place to be, Screenguy was asked to join the staff on October 1st, 2004.

Screenguy tends to spend most of his time on BZPower in the General Discussion, Marketplace Banter, Bionicle Software, Bionicle Collectibles, and Buy/Sell/Trade forums. Off of BZPower, his interests include all sorts of video games, reading classic works, discussing philosophy with friends, writing short fiction from time to time, testing his limited creativity in CGI artwork, and keeping up to date on happenings in the world of technology. Screenguy became interested in Bionicle when it was originally released, retaining interest to this day.

A junior in college, Screenguy is majoring in Engineering (electrical concentration) with a dual minor in Math and Honors. Screenguy does his best to stay active on BZPower while pursuing his academic goals, and looks forward to every break so he can come back and enjoy the forums again. Although academics takes up much of his time, Screenguy is also often found visiting with friends, participating in every church activity he can find, taking martial arts, and enjoying time with his close family.

Andrew, the man with the coolest hats on the BZPower staff, sometimes wonders if he should take himself more seriously but always just winds up laughing. Known as “Smeagol4” (and “Sméag,” “McSmeagol,” and any potential variation one could envision) on the BZ forums, he is not only a Reporter, Forum Leader, and host of the Official BZPower Role-Playing Game, but also The Good Minion.

Andrew has a myriad of great loves in life, including a love of life itself! This is a beautiful world full of beautiful people and life is too short to fuss and fight and be unhappy. He is a thespian and has participated in numerous plays, from Arsenic and Old Lace to Tartuffe and beyond, and has even done some directing work. In addition to the theatre, Mac loves literature in general, especially nineteenth-century American lit and twentieth-century French absurdist and existentialist works. Another passion of Mac’s is music; he plays the guitar, clarinet, and piano and has fiddled with other instruments. He greatly enjoys classical and orchestral music, rock, swing, jazz, folk, blues, and anything else that sounds good to him! Finally, Smeag loves animals; his cat Stormy and his horse Raz are the center of his life. Seriously, he worships that cat and the ground she walks upon.

Smeag attends Hampden-Sydney College, where he frequently compensates for mere, superficial verisimilitude by employing copious amounts of ambiguous sesquipedalianism in his assignments. When he does not do that, he may write a lab report as a five-act play in iambic pentameter or theatre class reports as comic books.

If you see someone walking aimlessly around outside in the cold, snow-filled night at 2:00 AM, singing and dancing and laughing, it is probably Andrew.

Addendum by ToM Dracone: Sméag is also one of the most awesome people in the world, but he has been known to have difficulty accepting the fact.

BZPower Forum Leader Than: Matoran of Anger has an interesting past. A 4 year veteran of BZP he has gone through many changes. He started as durhok and went to durhok kal. The durhok stage was a relatively spammy portion of Than's BZP career. Eventually he transitioned into Than: Matoran of Anger, a name chosen from a strange concept of using the last four letters of his first name, Nathan, and a somewhat easy to anger nature (don't fear, he doesn't anger nearly as easy as he did back then!). Over a span of 6 months, Than earned 5 Proto Energy boosts from a handful of different moderators for his consistant help throughout the forums. Eventually in October of 2004 he was appointed to a position on the Support Team. After the staff reorganization, the now Forum Assistant Than was tasked to work in Q&A and GD, two forums where he excelled as a Support Team Member. In June of 2006 he was approached by Bionicle Rex to become the first new Forum Leader in over a year. He initially tasked with Q&A and Artwork. The Comedies forum was added in later. He also bounced around in a few other forums, filling in where needed and currently has landed in Lego General Discussion.

Than is better known as Nathan or Nate in real life. Living in southern Wisconsin he enjoys the nature of the state. He is a fan of Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. He is also an avid Xbox 360 player. He enjoys games such as Gears of War or Halo 2 and if you wish to play with him online his gamertag is TeamNaCa. He is a fan of University of Wisconsin athletics cheering on the football and men's basketball teams. His current employment is considered not favorable, but it brings in money. It should also be noted that Than plays trumpet in his high school band and enjoys doing so. It should also be noted that Than likes mostly rock music and mostly from the classic era of rock. It should also be noted that Than repeats beginning sentences often and wrote this short bio in thrid person all by himself. Give him a hand for doing so.

In real life, I'm an athletic teen who spends most of his time playing sports or on the computer.”

Outside of BZP, -Wind- is a 17-year-old teenager from New Jersey. He procrastinates, works hard when he has to, and as a result sleeps little. As such, he lives on caffeine and will support Dunkin Donuts' coffee until the end of his days. Wind enjoys going to school; he is currently a junior and can verify that junior year is the hardest in high school...so far. His favorite academic subjects are math, physics, chemistry, et bien sûr le français.

-Windrider- strongly believes that calculus has changed his life; to him, derivatives and integrals are more than jumbles of mathematical symbols, they are part of a language that explain natural and physical phenomena. Calculus intertwines with physics and chemistry, but can also stand well on its own. Needless to say, -Wind- goes above and beyond in his mathematical studies.

Music is very important to Wind as well - he plays the piano with passion, and if his sanity prove strong (or non-existent), he will double major in college to include music in his academic studies. Though Wind likes a variety of music, he loves classical music a lot. As a pianist, he prefers the piano works of Chopin, Liszt, Rachmaninoff, and Beethoven.

Thanks to time zones, unless you're a night owl or get up with the sun, you probably won't see him working ‘round BZP...but he's there, so don't go spamming up his Forums.

Dr. Bionicle is a name that has changed over the years. It started as a title for the topic “Ask Dr. Bionicle” on the Bionicle Message Boards. The member who created that topic decided it would be a great idea to spread its wonderful existence to the rest of the world and eventually stumbled upon BZPower. He quickly joined, posted the topic, found it closed within the next five minutes, and officially became the newbie that is Lewa92.

After being here for a while and after much help from other members and Staff, the fanatical oddities of Lewa92 eventually morphed into the more cool-headed, logical personality of Dr. Bionicle (though some of those oddities are definitely still there).

On May 25th, 2006, Dr. Bionicle was asked to join the Staff much to his surprise and delight. His marked turf is the Bionicle Artwork III, RPG, Epics, Storyline & Theories, and Software forums. He quickly learned a few things about his position on Staff, like how he was one of the youngest to be hired, and that he was quite possibly one of the few in the group that was mentally sane (though that changed eventually).

While Dr. Bionicle has been a member shorter than most Staff Members, he has been honored to gather many memories here. He was one of the contestants in GregF’s “Master of Bionicle” contest, and though he failed to place, is still honored to have taken part. He holds to his title the first three RPG Contests with The Academy, where he gets the opportunity to play a psychotic maniac (not that you can tell the difference), and now works full-time as a BZPRPG co-host with Smeagol4.

When Dr. B’s not on BZP, he can often be found jamming on his acoustic guitar, writing music, reading music, or simply spazzing out on the keyboard. With French Horn as his "official" instrument, he is hard-pressed to determine his favorite instrument between the guitar and the keyboard. Besides a bit of bass and a fourth-grade perception of trapset, he prides himself in the art of vocal music. As a three-year member of the internationally recognized Lawrence Children's Choir, he's performed in Carnegie Hall, participated in the International Choir Festival in Missoula, Montana, and the Sing A Mile High Festival in Colorado. He's basically a tenorish baritone as far as range goes.

Doc loves not just playing, but listening to music. Particularly fans of Skillet, Relient K, and Switchfoot, he also indulges in old classics like Queen and Bon Jovi.

Besides music, Doc is a writer, his particular interest in fictional novels. He dabbles in virtually every genre he can get his hands on, and can often be found rereading a draft of a manuscript, making some edit marks, shaking his head, then crumpling it up and starting all over again.

At the current time of writing, he is a 15-year-old freshman attending his last year of Junior High. He will enter High School in September and graduate in 2011.

Dr. Bionicle has enjoyed every year he’s stayed here at BZPower, and he hopes to enjoy many more. Yeah, so there you have it. Dr. Bionicle in a nutshell.

...

An abnormally overgrown, look-at-me-I’m-on-steroids, Arnold Schwarzanutshell.

You may have heard of some random guy the call "ET." Well, that would be this guy here. No, he's not an alien. Well... Not that we know of. ET is short for Electric Turahk, one of BZP's finest FAs. He regards himself as the first pure FA (All the others were once STs after all), and is dang proud about it.

ET loves math. He'll jump at the opportunity to solve a problem where he can use math. Unless he's tired, then he'll probably scream a lot at you. But he's a pretty nice guy all around.

Emzee (better known as -MZ- and formerly known as Matoran12) joined the BZPower forums in summer 2002, during the overwhelming hype surrounding the mysterious Toa Nuva. Like many members, it did not take Emzee very long to find his place on the site. One of the very first topics he posted in was for the historic Flow of the River Bionicle-based computer game. If it wasn't for the RPG Forum, it probably would have been many months before Emzee would have joined. Emzee was also a well-known member of the BZPRPG back from 2003 to 2006. He left in 2007 to make time for his current fan-created game "Fall of the Conqueror", but now plans to jump back into the cyclone of chaos.

From July 2002 to September 2007, Emzee actually was very secluded (which may explain why he is not the most well-known member). He stayed in the RPG Forum until the reorganization resulting in the creation of the Fan-Created Games Forum, and then was secluded there for a couple of months. He is the proud founder of Cyan Productions, a company devoted to creating high-quality Bionicle fan-games which has been in existence since July 4th, 2006. Along with computer games, CP has also created Flash animations and resources that other game developers can use. The Silver Kakama, the color cyan, and the Kakama-wearing cyan-colored Toa are all symbols of CP. On September of 2007, just a few weeks after becoming 18 years old and an Outstanding BZP Citizen, Emzee was promoted to a Forum Assistant, trying his best to get used to the crazy void. Despite what his new friends say, Emzee does not intend to lose his sanity without a fight. His main turf is the Fan-Created Games Forum, but he also helps out Schizo Kaita in the Comedies Forum as well as assisting Screenguy in the Software Forum.

Outside of BZPower, Emzee is a programmer. He is learning C-Script and Java right now, and hopes to someday make a game that will require this programming knowledge. He is also into music, writing out many famous Bionicle tracks and putting them into MIDI format so that game developers can easily use them. He is in the Jazz Band, the Concert Band, and the Marching Band and enjoys pretty much any kind of music except Opera, Country, and most Rock genres. Finally, Emzee also can compose his own songs and specializes and writing Orchestral music. Emzee is not very much into sports, but will watch Football, American Football, and Basketball if it's on.

He tends to draw things, a lot. He is a Freshman at the University of Central Oklahoma.

Nikira is one of those weirdo female Bionicle fans that's been with it from the beginning (although truly did not become a hard-core follower until early 2003) and succeeded in joining BZP in late 2004. You can often see her lurking around the Q&A forum or General Discussion, although her most common hiding place is up in the rafters of the Art Forums.

She draws and doodles frequently, having posted many of her works in the Creative Outlet since the day she joined, as well as conjuring up a poster for Brickfest 2006 and entering all but one contest in General Artwork since Art Contest 9 (one of which she happily managed a first place spot).

Outside of BZP, Nikira is known as a 17-year-old tetra-geek among her colleagues. She's completely and utterly obsessed with theatre production, bowling, classical music/piano (mainly the works of Tchaikowsky and Saint-Saëns), and the flightless bird known as the penguin. She will gladly jump at the chance to do anything involving said things, cause she's crazy like that. Bwahaha.

She is currently a freshman at Ohio's Cedarville University, where she is studying for her degree in Theatre. In her spare time she like, totally whoops toosh at Age of Empires II against her friends and family.

He leaves you with the following words
FEAR THE VAMPIRES

Born in 1981 and raised in Anchorage Alaska, I have grown to become a rather interesting person. I am a skilled builder of many things all the way from Bionicle to bicycles, yard equipment to snow blowers, woodcarvings to violins and violas. I am good with my hands, and have been dubbed as an excellent crafter.

I got into Bionicle in the beginning of 2005 when the Toa Hordika were newly released in stores. I first started out building the sets, and simple models that were based off of old sets. As time progressed, I became more skilled at building custom creations with my Bionicle pieces, and have been incorporating Lego System bricks back into my life as well. I joined BZPower in 2006, and became a Forum Assistant a year later after attending Brickfest PDX in 2007. My Bionicle display was very well liked by the AFOL’s, and I even converted some of the hardcore guys into liking Bionicle!

I am currently making a stop-motion fanfilm with my custom creations called Bionicle: Trials of Terror. It is going to be a feature length film that is shot outdoors, with some scenes that will be shot on indoor sets. There is no current release date for the film at this time.

My motto is: Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Truly put your heart into it, and you can do anything you set your mind to!

"Being a Toa isn't about who's strongest or toughest or has the best mask power. It's about SPIRIT."

Although having followed the BIONICLE comics since the very beginning, SPIRIT never actually became interested in the line until March 2002, when he got his first sets. From there, he came to find BZPower in late summer of that year through a Google search and decided to join the site in June 2003. Time went by and he was soon promoted to Forum Assistant and again to Reference Keeper.

SPIRIT now spends most of his time in the Storyline & Theories Forum, but he has been known to dabble in the Library Forums as well as with the occasional humourous Flash movie. He lives in Ontario, Canada, is fluent in French, and is learning Spanish.

TTN has been hanging around BZP ever since he joined, back in late 2003. TTN became hooked with the Bionicle storyline after seeing the first Bionicle movie. "I especially enjoyed the parts where the aliens and werewolves fight and stuff," TTN commented about what in the movie made him like Bionicle. "And then there's a big explosion or something. And the werewolf guys are all 'huzzah!' and stuff." In June 2005, TTN became an OBZPC. Since then, he has decided his goal in life would be to help any member that needs assistance, which is why he considers "New Member Q&A" to be his favorite forum. He still thinks that a forum entitled "New Member A&Q" would be far more efficient, though.

Outside of BZP, TTN's real name is Daniel. He is 15 years old and currently resides in Israel. Other than Bionicle, TTN's interests include tokusatsu shows, Transformers, and buying comic books. In his free time, TTN likes to draw stuff in Adobe Flash, play games on the Xbox 360, read books, or play with his dog, Rocky.

Takuta-Nui. Commonly called T-N or TN, he proudly claims the distinction of being "Canada's least-wanted fugitive." Though he is now officially a retired Freemason, he continues to dabble in global affairs and flower beds. His most recent efforts have gone toward being accepted as the next Leaning Tower of Pisa, but was exposed as leaning the other way, and so was rejected.

His interests include habitually licking his upper right incisor, which is often misinterpreted as a lewd gesture, writing a six-book series featured on BZPower in order to develop his abilities, screaming "SMASH" repeatedly while pulverizing a tableful of vegetables, performing improvisation each Friday at lunch at his high school, playing Bach's "Overture" on an organ piece while shrouded in a dark cape illuminated only by a sole fireplace, reading books on philosophy, politics, science fiction, and various other genres, and death.

His future ambitions include obtaining a PhD in English, publishing books in various genres, creating a satirical political party (working titles include "Obscurist Party of Canada" and "Marxist/Lennonist Party of Canada"), visiting various locations around the world including Sweden and Rome, and signing as few autographs as possible so that people will realize their worth when he dies, and hoard them, only to learn on the morning after his death that several billion pieces of personally autographed paper have been released worldwide from secret storage vaults, thus rendering his signature worthless.

He can be contacted by forming a Klemperer rosette with stars visible from Earth.

ToM – sometimes known as Tiome – is 17 and a Junior in high school in upstate New York. He considers himself a linguist, as he speaks English and French, while he studies Latin and ancient Greek in school. Indeed, in 2007 he received his school's Latin Prize. He would like to learn Quenya but lacks sufficient motivation. But he does have great motivation and interest in developing two languages for his own stories: Matoràu for Bionicle and an as-yet-unnamed draconic language for his own fantasy storyline.

Otherwise, his interests include nature, literature, and artwork (as well as MOCing; he has won two BBC contests). He likes forests, water, rain, leafy plants, ivy, mist, ancient ruins, mythology… things of that sort. Nighttime is also a favorite of his to write about. He likes witches. And dragons. J.R.R. Tolkien and Patricia C. Wrede are without doubt his favorite authors. J.K. Rowling is very far up there, too. He also enjoys music (though is hopeless at playing it), with tastes ranging from New Age (Enya) to epic rock (Nightwish) to things he has no idea how to classify (the AfroCelts). General orchestral music, such as the Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean soundtracks, is also a favorite of his.

ToM arrived on BZP in mid-2003 amid the hype over the Rahkshi and Takanuva (who are, incidentally, some of his favorite sets to date). By spring 2004 he had become an OBZPC, and in the summer of '05 was asked by Ninjo to become an ST. He went into something between hyperactivity and shock shortly thereafter. Since then he has been stationed in the Library, where he remains a minion to HH and First Mate to Schizo...

Some have accused him of being overly verbose. He pleads guilty.

He is also a self-proclaimed Hahli fanboy.

John, more commonly known as Watashi Wa, joined to forums way back on May 29, 2003. After exactly two years of posting and making a name for himself, Wa was asked to join the ranks of the staff as a Support Team Member. Nearly three years later, John still enjoys rummaging through the forums approving posts and closing topics. Whenever he is online, he could most likely be found patrolling his home forum, General Discussion, or browsing through the Blogs.

John will be graduating from high school on May 23, 2008, most likely as the Valedictorian of his class. Upon graduating, he will be attending the School of Business at Auburn University at Montgomery to study Information Systems.

Of all his interests, John is most passionate about gaming and movies. He currently is enjoying games such as Rock Band, Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, and Halo 3 on his Xbox360 which is connected to a 52" HDTV. Every weekend, John watches at least one movie, if not multiple depending on his schedule. He mainly listen to any form of rock, but primarily metal, hardcore, screamo, alternative, classic and indie. He also loves attending concerts whenever possible. He has also recently rediscovered his love of reading and has taken interest in fantasy fictional books. Above all, he loves his friends and his family (particularly his 2-month old nephew).

By far, John's favorite part of being involved with BZPower is the interaction with other people. Here he has become familiar with (and considers some as friends) numerous people not only from the staff, but from the general member group as well. He is also proud to have recieved First Place in Greg Farshtey's first BZP-only contest "The Master of Bionicle."

He will turn 18 years old on March 12, 2008, and currently lives in Montgomery, Alabama.

Although Gatanui already joined BZPower on 31st July 2005, he started posting and being active in November of that year. Since he joined, he has "lived" his BZPower "life" in 1,5 year phases- he spent about one and a half year as a normal, at first as a rather noobish member, spent then about another and a half year as an Outstanding BZPower Citizen (since 10th/11th January 2007). Since and before then, Gatanui has been helping out mainly in the Software and New Member Q&A forums. Plus, in addition to helping in Software, he created the (now less) popular Voya Nui Online game help program, where members could PM him to get direct or indirect help in VNOG. He still offers that kind of help to members. Since the creation of that program at the end of 2006, over 50 members have requested his help for the VNOG.

On 22nd July 2008 he got promoted to the staff, taking a new job as Forum Mentor.

Gatanui is residing in Berlin since 2004.

bonesiii was for a while best known for being a top champion in the Lego.com Drome Racing Challenge. He has been following Bionicle since the beginning with MNOLG and the comics, and discovered BZP in early 2003. Since then he has become an active member of the Storyline and Theories Forum, known for his long and thorough posts, and his topic "Wacky Physics," which contains in-depth explanations of how the wackiest things in Bionicle can be explained with cool science fiction style ideas (currently a longer "Wacky Physics 2" is in the works). An aspiring writer, bonesiii and his brother Ojhilom have begun a Bionicle fanfic Series, The Bionicle Paracosmos, which includes Epics, Short Stories, Artwork, and even a half-completed computer RPG that introduces revolutionary new code techniques, such as in-the-map battle system.

In June of 2004, he accepted the position of Moderator, and currently moderates in his favorite Forum, Storyline and Theories, as well as Movies and Books. Later he accepted the positions of News Reporter and Reference Master in addition, and has helped launch several of BZP's new Reference projects, such as the Bionicle Timeline.

bonesiii was still on the Top Twenty in the Drome before the game was reset with the new updates, but now he has officially retired from the Drome. He still roots for his team, the High Octane Team, though! Now he devotes most of his free non-staff related time to the Bionicle Paracosmos, and plans to continue this alternate Bionicle universe series for quite some time.

He is 14 years old, living in the great state of California, with his brother, his sister and his two parents. At the age of 11, he became a Bionicle fanatic, having been with LEGO System since he was 8. He joined BZCommunity when he was 12, and has seen BZ go through many stages, events and all three annivesaries.

He is a member of the High School IT program, which is a high level computer class. He is learning lots of web code and hopes to be a web page designer when he grows up. He has already designed Bionicle Sector 01, a large contribution to Bionicle reference.

He loves to play basketball, swim, golf, run and surf the net in his spare time. He also likes to build with both System and Bionicle when he's bored.

QB is Jack. Jack is British. Jack is a Second Year University Student. Jack is a Music Student. Jack plays Drums and Percussion, and various other instruments. Jack probably spends far too much time in Pubs than he really should, missing out Sundays but coming up smiling on Mondays. Jack is short on cash. Jack thinks, therefore he.... ermm.... oh.

Jack, or QB, has been around a fair old while now, and even as he surprisingly quickly steps out of his teenage years and can no longer spend quite as much time here; he is forever here in spirit, and sometimes he even actually posts! Being almost a veteran of this little toy story we have come to know and love, Jack is one of BZPower's Reference Keepers. They don't seem to do much, and this isn't just because they're lazy (ok, it is a bit), but there's lots to do, and it takes a long time, so ol' Cubes helps out all he can between his busy schedule, and you'll more often than not fine him browsing around the S&T, Sets, Collectibles and GD Forums, although he does occasionally dabble in Art.

Being a Musician (nay, being a student), Jack's life is horrendously hectic. Being called up for gigs, shows and concerts all the time, sometimes with as little as a weeks notice, he has to balanca his university workload with doing the gigs, and going to the pub of course. Sometimes, he even combines them all into one big fiasco; demanding the finest wines available to humantiy, wanting them here, and wanting them NOW!

Chin Chin!

Toa Lhikan Hordika (A.K.A. TLH) is a Senior in High School who's probably just as obsessed with Bionicle than he was in 2001 (if not more). That's most likely one of the key elements in his promotion to a Reference Keeper. He makes a conscious effort to stay on top of it all.

He prides himself in working at Joe's Crabshack in Sterling Heights, MI where he makes some pretty decent money, but is almost always there for 35+ hours a week, even though he's supposed to be working part time.

Aside from his responsibilities at work and on BZP, he has a lot of responsibilities in his church. Ironically, since his church moved into a bigger building, his church, Joe's Crabshack, and a new Super Walmart are all in the same parking lot. So basically, when he's not on BZP or at home, the majority of his life is spent in that rectangular piece of land.

As far as interests go, I like Bionicle (try not to be so shocked), Final Fantasy (it's a pretty close runner-up to Bionicle, if not tied), comics, sci-fi/action/horror/suspense/action movies (not all in one).

I'm currently planning on moving to Oklahoma to go to Rhema Bible Training Center after I graduate this year, so we'll see how that goes.

Joining BZPower in 2004, Darnzerf spent his first few years laying low and posting who knows what. However, over the years, he gradually became more accustomed to the site's unique ways, and started posting more frequently. He was frequently seen in the New Member Q&A, Sets, and Storyline forums answering the questions of many members.

In 2006, Darnzerf was asked to join a new BZP Staff member group, known as the Blog Assistants. A year later, he would be asked to become a Reference Keeper, becoming the first Blog Assistant/Reference Keeper, otherwise known as a BARK. Though a little less active now than previous years, he still lingers in BZPower doing what he always does.

He currently resides in San Diego, California, and is attending high school.

In the summer of 2002, an 11-year-old BIONICLE fan joined BZPower's forums under the name of T akua II. This typo was only the beginning, however, as a period of spamming and poor-quality posting ensued. Before long, however, this newbie read - and began to follow - the rules, changing his name to Kahu Rider 13 soon afterwards. After writing several comedies, he began to....umm....errrrr.....

Sorry, but we don't know quite what he did; unfortunately, very little is known about this member. Even his location is the subject of much debate: some believe that he still resides in the UK, whereas others claim that he has since re-located to the dwarf planet Eris. As only he knows for sure where he is, it has been impossible to obtain an accurate picture of him: we can only show you what he looked like in 2001, when he was serving in Le-Koro's Gukko Force.

By June 2006, there were few active members remaining on BZPower who had even heard of him. Despite this, he was given the chance to join BZPower's new Blog Moderation Team, only a few days after becoming an OBZPC. Since then, he has been seen frequently in the blogs, although even his work here has yielded little information about him.

Within the forums themselves, the few people who do know anything about him know him for his knowledge of the two MNOLGS and the VNOLG. He is most likely a fan of these games, judging from the amount of help he has given on them over the years; even now, he can sometimes be found in their official help topics. We can, however, only guess at what else he is interested in.

Valenti is a guy from the Netherlands who has been a member since 2003. He has made his home in COT, but he can be found in the Blogs frequently. He's online almost every day, but what he exactly does, remains a mystery.

He stayed in the shadows for a longer period of time, after which he started to make a name for himself, mainly by creating edits. It proved hard for others to keep track, because Valenti changed his name many times. (Most notable ones being Miraeyi Angae, Scorpius, Scorpio Paradox and Mad Dog Turahk.)

In October 2005, Val reached POBZPC status. He continued to make edits while improving his skills and he started a shop with one of his friends. (The shop got demolished after a few months.) It didn't really stop him, because in the last month of 2007, Valenti became a staff member in the Blogs section of BZPower.

Valenti is quite fond of music, listening to his favourite songs almost all day long. He also likes to play games. Riding around on his mountain bike is also one of his favourite things to do.

Who knows what the future holds for this guy...
