Everyone and Anyone who is working on the project will have 24 hours from the first vote post to chip in their thoughts.
Simple as that.

This first post will be updated frequently [since it's summer. :3] with:
Voters.
New votes.

• Vorox also fall in and somehow mutate[?] and fight.
  
• Refugees are located in the Right Arm, whom the adventurers will meet.
  
• The Mind has a control over the creatures in its body, while intangible.
  
• He has a Lackey, who is above the others and carries out its orders.
  
• 6 Creatures will exist for every area of the body. [Arms, Legs, Chest, Head]

EVIRONMENT:

• The adventurers fall into the body in the Right Arm, near the White Quartz Mountains.
  
• Possible mutagen type things in the right arm? A pool perhaps?
  
• There are different environments for each area [and villain]
  
• The Body also shows internal workings inside it.
  
• There are multiple unmarked tunnels, from each area to another.

EVENTS:

• 12 Characters fall in
  
• Refugees will be met.
  
• Villains will be fought.
  
• The Mind wants the Ignika to reawaken its body.

Characteristics?

Recurring Villain:

Gresh. Only one I know we need. Maybe a new Glatorian too. Berix, Tarduk, other

[The Alchemyst]

When I say number I meant total Glatorian/Agori. o.o

We are going to have new characters, right? nvm. o.o Seriously only Gresh and Mata Nui and maybe a new Glatorian? Seems iffy to explore an entire universe with that and 3 Agori. What would the other entire Canister wave and a half consist of. =/

And what did you mean Y, in "Other themes in the Good Guys? Or all Cyberpunk changes?".
I kinda worded it awkwardly my bad, but it's:
Are all the Glatorian [New and old] going to get Cyberpunk changes, or are they going to get various changes?
[Some Cyberpunk, others Toa-Nuva-style Evolution, some bestial were-wolf stuff, etc. etc.

EDIT: Adding "# of recurring G/A?" to the questions, looks like we need that too.

Uh, the monsters and such that they find? Vertea posted a list of 6 canister sets, so why not go with that too?

I meant Other themes since that was the question I thought. New armor and maybe mutations on one of the Glatorian.

This is why I was against set groups.  It would make more sense to have more than just three Glatorian and Agori on the quest to build Mata Nui an escape route from the planet.

May I just but in and see exactly what you're voting on? It's obvious it's got something to do with Bionicle, but are you the storyline team or something? What does the outcome mean?

No, we're just a bunch of crazed fans trying to build a fanfiction-like story for 2010 (only with more things, like art and maybe MOCs). :)

Talk about this in the other thread, this one should primarily be for voting.

This is more or less a group fan-made story concept. Voting on these concepts is to determine what is "canon" in this story. :)

I'd like it a lot if only voting were to go on here, to reduce clutter.

No, but I reckon the Glatorian and Agori should use semi-built parts in the domes to make their own interpretations of Bara Magnian vehicles in order to pass through more hostile terrain. This would definitely involve an alt-Cendox.
Yes, but not at first
At points, definitely, but not for the Glatorian.

10 or a similar number would be good, because we want enough characters to work with, but not so many that an entire city of Glatorian fell into the GS part. Maybe if all of us got one character each to design for the story?
10 could work again, but I prefer 5 seeing as they wouldn't have been as essential to MN's team before they fell into the part.
0, aside from Mata Nui. It'll allow us more creative liberty.
0 again

The later, varying from semi-built to cyperpunk to post-apoc to primal marshes
I suppose that'll work, although that might lead to the possibility of Skrall encounters later due to Roxtus being around the head, but that could be a good thing.  
Everything and anything, simply appropriate for the dome environment
That's definitely a possibility, but our team of Glatorian and Agori is probably big enough for the Good Guy allocation.

Has one already, unless MN encounters The Mind at the beginning then leaves, then the The Mind would get it then.
If it gets it via Ignika, then an evil version of MN, otherwise some other evil form.
Only it's minions
Evil + spiky

Lieutenant to The Mind, with similar Hivemind powers over minions
Evil, unknown because it's possessing minions all the time
The Mind actually acknowledges it as another being.

What if The Mind was called Nefarious Mind or something? That way the the initials would be NM, inverse of MN.

I think voting should be raised on these two concepts.

[The Alchemyst]

First let's get the protagonists out. ._. After this and art/MOCs, voting for those, to the number will occur.

Alright, this is how this poll will work. Add a Tally " | " after which you would like. Quote the last person, remove the quote box, and start tallying. Also write what you voted for, just for clarification and stuff. Add another bullet if necessary.

*cough* 5 and 4. >.>

Alright, we got everyone, and averaged it out to 6 and 5, but no one likes 6, since it's all conforming and stuff so it's 7. :P

Next vote! This works the same way! Once I get 5, averaged out to fit.

I'd like to see Tarduk as a returning character. He's the only Agori we know of that won't complain about adventure.

Something to note is that Greg's latest answer has disqualified the idea of nanotech and domes, unless we want to follow a different path.
I say it can go either way-if we follow his, we can still have monster-things, experiments and refugees from the desert above hiding in the remains, since there could still be tunnels and access points. There could even be whole forests of underground fungus or whatever can grow in a decaying robot.

Averages out to:

2.1 and 1.6, which means 2 and 2, with Mata Nui being one of the Glatorian, not Skrall, Stronius or Vorox [Vorox is going for sure].

New poll:
Which Glatorian?
Since the list has 8, here's how it's going to work.
Choose your top 3, list them, 1 being your favorite.
Just quote, remove the box, and erase the numbers.
Each first place will be worth  5, then it goes 3, and then 1.

I will add the total points, highest points is the second character.
