Kelly currently serves as the Editor-in-chief of BZPower's news service (formerly known as Kanohi-Power). Kelly also keeps the board software up to date, and works hard to make the site more interesting for everyone, through well-known projects like the Set Database and the infamous April Fools events.

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.

HH is like, this twenty-something 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

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.

Than: Matoran of Anger is one of the longstanding members of the BZPower staff. With 4 years of service on the BZP staff he has dedicated a lot of time and effort to the site. He began his career on the staff as a Support Team member in 2004. He was promoted to the ranks of Forum Leaders in 2006. Then in 2009 he was promoted to the ranks of the Global Moderators. He currently is is assigned in New Member Q&A and Bionicle Based Creations and lurks around in a lot other forums so watch what you do. He has built most of his staff career on his work in the New Member Q&A forum, answering questions of members and helping coordinate various help topics in that forum. His work in that forum as earned him the distinction of being the current Q&A Guru.

In real life Than: Matoran of Anger is better off known as Nate. He is currently pursuing a BS degree in Computer Science at UWEC and will be a sophomore/2nd year student in the upcoming school year. He spends a lot of his free time playing games on his Xbox 360. He also enjoys watching sports like (American) football, college basketball, and baseball. He has just recently started to become interested in snowboarding. He also enjoys just spending time hanging out with his friends.

-Shannara-, or Shannara, or Shanny, or Shan, has been involved with Bionicle since its early days on Mata Nui. Around the time of the appearance of the Bohrok swarms, he discovered a pair of Bionicle websites: Kanohi-Power and BionicleZoneCommunity. He witnessed the merger of these two great sites into BZPower and watched on the sidelines as many Bionicle-Based Creations contests happened. He perused the forums as a guest for some time, before finally joining in March of 2003 to enter BBC Contest #11. Since that day his main love on BZP has been the BBC forum. In the years he has been here, he has entered many of the contests in his forum and even won several.

Shanny is exceptionally proud of promotion to the Support Team (which later became the Forum Assistants) followed later by the advancement to Forum Leader of the BBC. Though the real world often impinges on his activity on the forum these days, Shan keeps up with the Bionicle story and the many BZP goings-on.

Offline, Shannara goes by Jordan.

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.

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

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

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.

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 (known as Smeagol4 on the forums) loves you!

He also loves kittycats, theatre, literature, hats, music, cherries, and most of all his wonderful girlfriend whom he was blessed to meet. Rumours abound that their simple daytime personae are but ruses intended to disguise secret identities as costumed superheroes, but these remain unconfirmed. For what it's worth, though, they both look dashing in green spandex.

Andrew is currently attending undergraduate college and double-majoring in English and Fine Arts, with a focus in theatre. He plans to attain a Master of Arts (and eventually a Doctor of Philosophy) in English after graduation so that he may embark on a career as an English professor and spend his career blabbing about Melville and Fitzgerald. On the side, he plays clarinet, piano, guitar, ukulele, and several other instruments and is a founding member of a totally awesome rock band, the Predacons.

There is plenty more to say, but you could also find these things out by talking to him!

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.

Omi loves you Smeag! :D

"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 and is at university majoring in Anthropology, minoring in French.

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

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.

Addendum by Smeagol4: So my li'l bro Yanni thinks he can get away with editing my profile? Well let it be known that ToM is far more awesome than I am!

John, known as Watashi Wa on the forums, joined BZPower on May 29, 2003. After exactly two years of posting and making a name for himself, Watashi was asked to join the ranks of the staff as a Support Team Member. In November of 2008, John was approached by the administration and asked if he would like a position as a Forum Leader after serving as a Forum Assistant for over three and a half years. He gladly accepted the position and now helps lead the General Discussion, Sets, and Movies & Books forums. Whenever he is online, he can most likely be found patrolling his home forum, General Discussion, or browsing through the Blogs.

John recently finished his freshman year at Auburn University at Montgomery, Alabama, and will be advancing into his sophomore year in the fall of 2009. He is majoring in Information Systems, with a focus on Systems Development. Whenever he is not in class or with his friends, he is usually playing his Xbox 360 (with a current Gamerscore of 45,000+.) while chatting with his good friend Than: Matoran of Anger over Xbox Live. He enjoys watching action, thriller, or sci-fi movies, reading mystery, fantasy, or thriller books, and listening to music, preferably metalcore or hardcore rock. His friends and family take up a large amount of his time because they are so very important to him.

For more information on his favorites, feel free to visit his profile.

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.

You are Arpy, more often known in real life as Ean (the phonetically correct spelling of how Ian is usually pronounced), and you have decided to do your staff bio in the oft-neglected second person just to be different and also to annoy the sort of people who get annoyed by second-person points-of-view. You are currently entertaining a thought that by writing your bio in this fashion you will convert all who read it to your exact mode of thought, which, as you type, you are now realizing is a fairly unrealistic goal. It's probably for the best, anyway, since you're not sure you'd want everyone to be just like you anyway. Variety keeps things interesting, though there's probably enough of that in your own head that it might not be such a bad idea after all. Beware!

You have been a fan of Bionicle since its release and a member of BZPower for only slightly less time. You enjoy BZP because, in the immortal words of Congressman Wexler, as reported by Stephen Colbert, it's a fun thing to do, and you hope to keep it that way. You have built quite a few MOCs in your day and usually specialize in innovative and offbeat creations. You really do enjoy piña coladas and getting caught in the rain, particularly the smell of petrichor, which is fortunate for you since you live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. It's less fortunate about the pineapples, though, since they don't grow here. Alas!

In addition to Lego and most things related to it, you also read voraciously, write sporadically, act in plays whenever you can get a chance, and are interested in many things besides, the levels of interest in which vary with time. For instance, right now you are hugely into Terry Pratchett, Firefly, Foreigner, and your NaNoWriMo novel, but your interest in those will likely wane as you get through them and discover new things, as has happened before with such items as Nextwave, Douglas Adams, linguistics, Weird Al (with whom you share your birthday), X-Pods, Oscar Wilde, Star Trek, and any of numerous excellent movies and books, all of which you have enjoyed but only a couple of which you have watched or read recently because you are entirely too busy with college after having been homeschooled for the majority of your life, both of which are or were awesome. It occurs to you that run-on sentences are another of your interests, along with spending time with family and friends, helping at church, politely loathing Twilight, and superheroes. Marvel owns DC forever, and you accept this as an immutable truth. Truthiness!

You eventually realize that your interests are too many in number to be reasonably listed and your personal essence too complex to define in mere words, though your grandmother would say you smell like a teenage boy, or at any rate your room does, and leave it at that. You consequently decide to blame Monty Python for everything, especially the møøse, all for no adequately explored reason. The lateness of the hour has only a bit to do with it. You now decide to go drink more Mountain Dew and do your Spanish homework. Huzzah!

Electric Turahk (ET) has been a member of the staff for over three years, but has been a member of the community for nearly twice that. His claim to fame came via his expertise at the BIONICLE storyline, and had been an active member of the Storyline & Theories forum long before becoming a staff member. Wonder if that has anything to do with being a Reference Keeper in addition to a Forum Assistant? Besides working on BZPower, ET is one of the General Managers of the BIONICLEsector01 Wiki.

At the moment, he's just some random sixteen year old boy whose main occupation is schoolwork. Sounds like fun, doesn't it? His interests include reading (Star Wars!), watching television (LOST!), playing video games, and mathematics (Gasp!). Oh, and he's utterly baffled as to what he should do for the rest of his life once he's out of high school... What fun college is going to be.

Emzee (a.k.a MZ) joined the BZPower forums in summer 2002, during the overwhelming hype surrounding the (then) 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 has also been a role-player since 2003, is even a BZPRPG Assistant.

He is the proud founder and leader of Cyan Productions, a BZPower-based multimedia production company (the picture you see above is an example of their awesome work). He has two full games under his belt (the (in)famous Mata Zuto games) as well as a short flash movie series based on the Flow of the River story.

Outside of BZPower, Emzee is a programmer, and a very stoic person. He is learning BASIC (DarkBASIC to be exact) and Java right now, and he is proudly working on a 3D action RPG that will require his knowledge of DarkBASIC. He is also into writing music, taking many famous Bionicle tracks and putting them into MIDI format so that game developers can easily use them. He was in the Jazz Band, the Concert Band, and the Marching Band (playing the Trombone and Euphonium) until he graduated from high school in 2008. Emzee enjoys pretty much any kind of music. Finally, Emzee also can compose his own songs and specializes in writing Orchestral music.

Don't bother asking Emzee about sports, or TV in general. He tends to not watch a lot of it.

Nikira is one of those weirdo female Bionicle fans that you see here and there, doing this and that and oh-such-other-odd things. She has been a member of BZPower since August 2004, and has been on the staff since February 2008. You can usually spot her dashing about New Member Q&A, General Art, and Voting Booth. Don't be frightened, she is not a (confirmed) lunatic, nor does she bite or carry infectious diseases.

Outside of BZP, Niki is known as a 19-year-old tetra-geek who likes her computer a lot. She loves theatre production, bowling, classical music/piano, CLAMP and the flightless bird known as the penguin (she has a lot of 'em). And nail guns. Nail guns are her friend. Niki also loves cats. If you do bad things to cats, Niki will do bad things to you. 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 a majority of the contests in General Artwork since Art Contest 9 (one of which she happily managed a first place spot).

Niki is currently a sophomore at Cedarville University, where she is studying for her Bachelor of Arts in Theatrical Design, as well as minoring in Biblical Studies. She loves the stage and, although she is not the best theatrical performer physically, she has done multiple voice acting roles on and off BZP, and would love to be involved in TV or radio voiceovers in the future.

In her spare time she whoops toosh at Age of Empires II and Osu! against her friends and family. She also loves making random videos with her siblings, laughing at Ohio weather with nearly everybody she meets, and spending time with her wonderful boyfriend.

Niki also likes giving hugs. So!

*hug*

Addendum by Smeagol4: Nikira is also the coolest person in the universe, though her chronic humility prevents her from admitting such.

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!

Sisen is… Wait, Sisen Who? First know as Sisentheforgottentoa and a few other deviations of Sisen after that, his original name holds true to not being entirely well known around the forums. Sisen is derived from Sisenikelet, the reverse spelling of telekinesis, his favorite power. He used to have an older account but lack of interest and forgetfulness led him to disappearing for a year, h rejoined in 2005 and has been a member ever since. Sisen was also the first newb staff member to be promoted in 2009. Completely Off Topic is where he dwells most of the time, with werewolves and vampires, but he makes appearances everywhere else now and then.

A fan of Bionicle, he isn’t one of those hardcore MoCers. He simply enjoys building whenever he has inspiration or for the fun of entering a contest, and collecting whatever sets he is able to purchase. Some say he is a good blacksmith (he agrees) winning the S&T Xian Weapons contest could be proof of this.

Outside of Bionicle (Because he doesn’t have a life besides BZP XD), he is pretty much like every other geeky staff member, even those that don’t admit it. He enjoys science, drawing, reading, and sometimes writing, most of all, he enjoys magic and the arcane. Sorcery, Alchemy, Wizardry, you name it; he probably knows a thing or two about it. If you ask one of his friends, they’d most likely tell you he has a knack for figuring things out, whether he is actually able to predict the future is unknown, it might just be his analytical skills at work. Very rarely is he surprised by something he doesn’t see coming.

He is 19 and currently taking college courses online at the Art Institute of Pittsburg, majoring in Graphic Design. As of now he is halfway through his curriculum but due to rising costs he is going to seek employment in the real world, if only to support his educational expenses, a very scary thought for a paranoid person like him. If you’d like to know more about this young man you can check out his personal profile or blog, it isn’t possible to mention everything single blipping thing here, but he has a few lists that should shed more light on his interests.

Could he be the only member that resides in West Virginia? He is surely the only staff member there.

He’s handling the trauma of being “newb” very well. However, it is unforeseen if there will be any long term psychological effects.

Spink began his wondrous creation on BZPower during March of 2006. Naturally, he was a pretty bad typist, was horrid in the spelling department and yet he always had the eye to partake in discussions on this magical place. However, eventually this Spink grew an interest in writing (He wasn't even known as Spink back then!) and decided to try his hand at the pencil and the paper, and then later the computer. His first ever epic on the website was something of a disaster, as was his second -- however, both of those Epics' Review Topics did oddly well, why that was, Spink can only ever guess (There weren't even negative comments in them! A shocker, to any who may have read these elementary school writings) However, Spink, in terms of writing stories, has improved over the years. Sadly, his ability to continue epics and finish them has become something of a challenge. So. If you see an unfinished epic done by Spink, and would like it to continue onwards, send a message to him requesting! He doesn't expect to get any, given, he is not that great a writer and there are thousands of other epics out there that are far more amazing than his.

Enough with the story-writing, let's continue on with Spink's journey. So, in late 2008, Spink was promoted to COT RPG Judge, much like Exo, Sisen, just to name some other staffers in the field (And they stuck around for a while, and all did fantastic jobs, especially Sisen who got to manage them) However, this was not the start to his Role Playing career, no, the start happened years and years ago, back in 2007 (Okay, not "Years," but yeah =P) It was around this time Spink participated (2007ish) amazing RPGs like; Reality by Robo, The Gate by The Captain, the BZPRPG by a whole team of people who are all so incredible, there are definitely others -- He mentions the three he did because of the impacts. Reality showed him the open door to creativity, and helped immensely with his spelling ability, as well as his overall writing ability (Technically, that game had over 700 pages!) The Gate is mentioned simply because of the fact that this RPG was one of the first Spink played in, back when he used the horrid red colored text. It was around here when Spink got into deep stories so full of conflict, and yet so amiable to what the players wanted. It was just an incredible blend and he loved it. Now, the BZPRPG, why does Spink like it? He likes that game because of the effort, because of the people who hold it up so well, and because of the fact that it's been around for -years-. This game had helped Spink's ability to make friends in the realm of BZPower, as he could interact with people without the PM system and whatnot.

As a Judge, Spink did lots of things. Nothing as amazing or as hard as what Sisen and what some of the others had to go through, though, Spink is one of the first seven chosen -- something he only takes any pride in because he lasted for more than a year, while all the others quit (Save Wrack and Sisen, cuz they're just amazing for sticking around so long!). Spink did leave the COT RPG Judges, but that was only because he likes it when they're more using members for the spots, as he views it a system for the members, so he figures to let members decide what they'd like to see in the forums. Of course, Spink only did leave after he became a Forum Assistant during the month of January of 2010, the double-digit year. However, before staffdom, Spink was a regular person. He did things like any other member, he made mistakes, he did some embarrassing things (Like his epic!) and he also did get in trouble at one time, though, it was shrugged off (Luckily, it wasn't like he torched the front page of the site or anything =P)

Spink has participated in a few on-site contests, he lost every last one of 'em, but oh well, it was always extremely fun!

That's Spink on BZP. Anything else you wanna know of Spink, you can find it in his blog or in his profile, or you can just ask and depending on the question, he'd answer. In fact, ask Spink any questions at all, feel free, it's always awesome to help another member out, or anyone out, with things.

As for the picture, that is exactly what Spink looks like in the following situations;

- When he wakes up in the morning
- When a new idea pops into his mind
- When he goes through psychopathic instances, such as when he has too much caffeine and decides to converse with someone.
- At formal events
- At dinnertime
- Right before he goes to sleep, which makes it easy for a teacher to hit him as he knows what's about to happen.

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.

Residing in the province of Alberta in the country of Canada, Takuta-Nui is proud to have completed high school education and been accepted into the University of Alberta, where he seeks a Master's in Political Science. With ambitions not limited to municipal and provincial tiers, he has become deeply involved in the Deaf community (being Deaf himself), along with various volunteer duties.

On BZPower, Takuta-Nui assists in moderating the Sets, Promotions, and Buy/Sell/Trade forums. His primary hobby online is BIONICLE fanfiction writing, and he has often said that if it weren't for the open and positive atmosphere of the BZPower Library, he wouldn't be anywhere near as good as he is today. He might have been an artist, but quit early on when he realized he possessed minimal talent. He once tried his hand at MOCing - that event has been tentatively marked as a cause of climate change.

Little more can be said, but on the risk of being egotistic, he hopes to have his name in big letters somewhere, sometime, and will work tirelessly up to and beyond that day.

I began 'life' on BZPower, on 11th September 2006. Initially just visiting the site for it's news, I only started becoming really active in like, May of 2007. Initially appearing as the typical newb, I (who was then called '*z*') posted a few times in May, and then went into hibernation for another few months and then finally returned in October of the same year, slowly increasing my activity and gradually transforming into my current state.

In November 2007, I changed my name to Toa Z. My newbness slowly dissipated, and I turned into a slightly more mature member. Setting about to uncover the hidden secrets of the site, I ran across another 'being' [alias 'Adventurer'] and we subsequently became friends. Shorty afterward, I earned proto boosts from Black Six, Kex, Omicron, Than: Matoran of Anger and finally in November from Toaraga, completing my transformation into the smexy color orange. However, during this period, I yielded to the influence of the awesome Joker, and have never been the same since. I later went through an identity crisis of sorts, changing my name multiple times: first from what I am now known as, 'Zeddy', to 'Zed Zedd and Zeddy', and then to 'Hush' (during the awesome Batman staff theme week), and then finally, back to 'Zeddy', when I was asked to join the ranks of the BZPower staff, going from orange to green (which was way cooler =P) to the new light-ish blue. I was thusly christened (and am still considered) the 'Forum Assistant Newb' and subjected to many psychological horrors.

Outside of BZPower... well, here's a brief description: in real life, I'm a pretty normal human being. I attend the 10th grade and am also a 1st Dan Black Belt in Tae-Kwon-Do, so it's best not to mess with me... in real life, that is. On the Internet, there's nothing much I can do.

Although Gatanui joined BZPower on 31st July 2005, he has been visiting it since around mid-2004 and started posting and being active in November 2005. Since he joined, he has "lived" a lot of his BZPower "life" in one and a half 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 January 2007). Since and before then, Gatanui has been helping out mainly in the Software, General Discussion and New Member Q&A forums. Plus, in addition to helping in Software, he created the (now not anymore) popular Voya Nui Online Game help program (GVHP), 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 was promoted to the staff, taking a new job as Forum Mentor, which he has for over a year and a half already, thus also defeating the one year and half phase myth. This promotion also made Gatanui to one of the youngest current staff members of BZPower.

Gata, as he is called, too, is also known for reporting news very often. His username has already been present in the source of over 50 news articles and 5 BZPower front page reviews.

Gatanui is known on LEGO.com since early 2001 and on My LEGO network since late 2007 as AdrianGeorg, and he is living in Berlin since 2004. He is also a member on BIOSector01, the largest BIONICLE Wiki on the web. He has also been a fan of BIONICLE since the beginning in 2001, and loves MOCing with BIONICLE and LEGO Technic, but with LEGO System as well. Among his hobbies are drawing and decompiling Adobe Flash files, too.

His most recent project and the one he is the most proud of is the BIONICLE Online Games Archive 2.0- a website where you can read information about your favourite classic BIONICLE online games and download them to your computer for free. It is his most succesful and most popular project ever with hundreds of daily pageviews on the site and the highest number of pageviews on a day being 760 on 16th January 2010. The total number of downloads of his game files offered on the website reaches three digits. Just from 3rd November to 31st December 2009 the number was at 1577. Check the corresponding section of his site for detailed download statistics.

Gatanui also loves riddles and especially puns and word-play, so try to solve his personal statement from his BZPower profile:

"You can call me 'You', as singular and plural. Also in other languages, where those are two different words, it will ALWAYS be correct."

Ta-Metru_Defender, or TMD as he is more commonly known, is a fairly unusual eighteen year old. See, he was born in Singapore but moved with his family to live on a missionary ship, the Logos II, when he was ten. He lived there for four years sailing to around 80 ports in 40-some countries before moving to the US where he currently resides. This whole experience onboard a ship kinda gives him a unique view on things and stuff. He also says you should feel free to PM him if you're wondering what living on a ship was like.

TMD joined BZP while he was in Peru during the Christmas of 2003. He had been looking for news on the Bionicle line which he had been following over three continents. He first lived in Comedies and eventually moved to Artwork where he created an animated-gif series called Metru Nui Adventures. Over the years he gravitated to Lego General Discussion where he currently spends most of his time. Since being promoted to a Forum Mentor he ventures beyond LGD approving posts and attending to his other duties.

In his free time TMD's various hobbies go beyond Bionicle and Lego. He enjoys reading, film (both watching and making), photography, and music (just listening). Writing is another past time to which he devotes himself to and one day hopes to make a career out of.

That's pretty much TMD in a nutshell. Also, one of his mottos is "don't die" which thus far he has executed fairly well.

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.

LewaLew (also known as me) is one of the newest Reference Keepers of BZPower. He/I/It started out on BZPower, but remained relatively minor, as I usually stayed out of the Discussion part of BIONICLE News, Reference and Discussion. Sometime around 2007, I almost completely stopped using BZPower, but instead began exploring BS01. Once again, I did not become very prominent, and remained relatively inactive. Finally, I stopped hiding behind the keyboard and began writing for KanohiJournal, as the LEGO in General columnist. I also started becoming a more active editor on BS01, helping out with the Collaboration of the Week and Operation: Restore All Content.

When O:RAC required me to start asking GregF more questions, I once again became interested in BZPower. I started playing BIONICLE RPGs again (which was pretty much all I did when I first joined the site), but then noticed the BIONICLE Reference Center. It was missing lots of info, as several Reference Keepers had become inactive. I volunteered to help the Reference Keeper Team by writing up some stuff for them and getting pronunciations from GregF for SPIRIT. As it turned out, bonesiii asked me if I would like to become a Reference Keeper, and I accepted.

In real life, I am Sean. Hence my BS01 username 'Seanp12'. I am homeschooled, and I am a big Chicago Cubs fan. On BS01, I serve in O:RAC as the Member with the most contributions toward the operation, and in KanohiJournal, I am still writing for the LEGO in General column. On BZPower, I play the occasional BIONICLE RPG, and find myself checking the BIONICLE Sets forum more often. I've done most of my Reference Keeping work in the Sets Database, although I also handle the Story Sources and Vehicles and Technology topics of the BIONICLE Reference Center.

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.

February 7th 2008 proved to be a fateful day for a certain person. It was the day he clicked on the name of a website known as BZPower. Joining twenty four hours later, under the alias Exo-Fat, he originally intended to review Kumata Nuva's epic, The Tournament of Shadows. Ironically, he never did. Instead he got caught up in the world that is BZP.

Deciding to post an epic himself, his first venture was well received but not wildly popular. Feeling like he was being ignored, EF drifted away from doing what he did best, writing. That is until he discovered the Completely off Topic Forum.

After starting a topic on one of his favorite videogames, Pikmin, someone suggested he should make an RPG about it. Not knowing what an RPG was he looked around and discovered a world beyond his imagination. Here at last was a form of writing that could expand and grow. A type of writing where he could actually interact with people beyond responding to their reviews.

His first two RPGs were successful and gave him a launching pad into the RPG spotlight. In October of 2008 he was chosen to a COT RPG Judge, and was given the responsibility of approving other people's games. In early April of the next year he achieved OBZPC status and a little over two weeks afterwards was promoted to the position of Blog Assistant.

Exo-Fat is definitely not the most popular or well known of staffies. Other than RPGs he is practically an unknown. Being promoted to Blogs was a complete surprise to him, but he resolved to do his best. Other than what was mentioned here, EF's achievements include placing well in multiple Library contests and placing first in several RPGContests. He has since resigned as a COTRPG Judge.

Outside of BZP, EF is known as Travis, an extremely tall and somewhat crazy fifteen year old who has moved over twenty times in his life. He enjoys playing basketball, reading, writing, coding games, and playing jazz music on his piano. He's always up for a chat and is usually online for several hours a day.

Catch him if you can.

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...

ChocolateFrogs, which many do not realize is a username tribute to the Harry Potter series back in fourth grade for the Lego Web Club, joined BZPower in April of 2003, after stumbling upon it earlier in January. He remembers one of his first news articles read to be about the Bohrok-Kal Kaita, and started visiting daily when early photos of the Rahkshi were released exclusively to BZPower. Simply enjoying browsing the forums and posting where necessary, he quickly became a part of the community.

Today, ChocolateFrogs is an active blogger and tries to MOC in his free time, sometimes being able to then find more time to take pictures and post in the BBC Forum. He was offered the position of becoming a News Reporter in July 2008 and immediately accepted the offer, for this was his dream job. It still is in real life, as he is a Journalist student at Christopher Newport University, balancing studies with Lego.

Other interests include various Lego themes and MOCing in both Bionicle/Technic and the Lego System. He enjoys anime and manga, his favorite series being Fullmetal Alchemist, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Black Cat; he has even costume played at Train Heartnet! If he watched TV his shows of choice would be the Stargate franchise, but as he barely finds time to open a book for fun it is unlikely he will turn on the tube. (Firefly rocks as well!)

He has attended BrickFest 2006 and BrickFair 2008, meeting dozens of BZPower members and AFOL’s and can not wait to meet you! Check out his BrickShelf and Flickr pages for pictures of his MOCs.

Xccj is a reporter. He reports stuff that is report-worthy. His name is not an acronym; it doesn't stand for anything. And the X can be capitalized or not. He's cool with it either way.

There have been reports that Xccj has a life, but they're vague at best. He has been known to enjoy hiking, writing, and complaining about schoolwork. His favorite color is green. He likes to use the :music: emoticon as his sign-off.
