Good Friday
Ask me about adulthood.
BARA MAGNA
- The implants used by the inhabitants of Bara Magna are so efficient that they can be passed on to new individuals without use of sophisiticated technology, which they lack.
- Glatorian death is extremely rare -- Glatorian matches are not to the death, and killing an opponent in the arena is treated the same way as a boxer killing another one in a match. Injuries, of course, can and do happen all the time.
- Hundreds of Agori live in each village.
- Gelu lost his match with Vulcanus to Ackar.
- Gelu retired after the attack on Atero.
- The name of the Glatorian in Riddle of the Great Beings, spelled out, is Surel.
- Glatorian matches often have specifications for which weapons can or cannot be used, or other special rules.
- Surel is probably around the same age as characters like Tarix and Strakk.
- Special forces Skrall are put in charge of squads.
- Mata Nui's new body is biologically identifiable as that of a Glatorian.
- Greg, on summer characters in the movie: "Kiina, Ackar, Vastus, Mata Nui all have speaking roles, and the inspiration for Skopio appears."
- Greg does not believe Ackar helped found the Glatorian system since Ackar was not in Vulcanus yet when the system was founded.
- Vorox dislike Bone Hunters.
- When Certavus was Iconox's #1 Glatorian, Strakk was #2.
- Greg: "[The shapeshifters] were more a reaction to the war than active participants in it."
- Greg: "The ELs [Element Lords] were originally planned to be part of later storyline, but due to some changes, I was able to move their arc to this year."
- Changes in the story plan for 2010 have bumped up the introduction of the shapeshifters and Element Lords into the story. Greg says we are definitely going to see more of the Element Lords this year.
MATORAN UNIVERSE
- Greg would define Vezon as a "violent sociopath."
- The Nui Caves used by Axonn and the Matoran of Voya Nui when it sank are an upper region of the original homeland of the Av-Matoran.
- The seven Turaga on Metru Nui have been imprisoned.
- Greg approves of the name "tidal spear" for Gaaki's tool and "avalanche spear" for Pouks's tool.
