About Me

Ever since my first BIONICLE set in 2001, I've been an on-again/off-again fan. I found BS01 in late 2009 while I was on Google looking for pictures of Click, if you can believe that! I was instantly amazed at how accurate and extensive BS01 was.

I created an account in January, 2010 and named myself, of course, after Jaller, my lifelong favorite BIONICLE character. Vartemp made my first sigs and Dark Light taught me how to make userboxes, among other things. People say I learned to code quickly.

I like to think I have a pretty good reputation, although I'll be the first to admit I'm not always easy to work with. Also, for every good idea I have, there are about five really bad ones.

I was on-and-off for many years, but now I check the Recent Changes almost every day. I've taken up the task of providing citations wherever possible.

Things I’ve Done Here

• Brought back the Hordika Venom page
• Created Gallery:Fusions
• Was a veteran in Wiki War I under Bold Clone
• Sat through Kayru’s Reign wondering what in Mata Nui’s name was going on
• Unintentionally started Icarax Week by nominating three BIONICLEsector01:Highlights involving Icarax (they all won)
• Inadvertently started the AfC power page craze (which almost crashed the server)
• Created the original Template:MatoranText, my proudest creation
• Expanded Gallery:Kanohi and Gallery:Concept Art
• Created Template:Substances/EnergiesNav
• Sandboxed Template:HandofArtakhaNav
• Suggested and helped refine the Hypothetical Kanohi section of Kanohi/Other Kanohi

Inspired by Toa Nidhiki05: Toa of Air

"Matoran Idiot"

Parody of "American Idiot" by Green Day

Don't wanna be a Matoran Idiot.

Don't wanna live inside a giant robot.

And can you hear the sound of sick laughter?

It's Teridax's happily ever after.

Welcome to a new kind of deception,

Stretching through the pocket dimensions.

And everything is supposed to be okay.

The Great Beings dream up solutions,

Ignoring Makuta revolutions.

Is that enough to sway you?

Well maybe I'm the weirdo Matoran.

I don't conform to your type of torment.

Living when we're programmed to worship

The guys who put us on this sinking ship.

Welcome to a new kind of deception,

Stretching through the pocket dimensions.

And everything is supposed to be okay.

The Great Beings dream up solutions,

Ignoring Makuta revolutions.

Is that enough to sway you?

Don't wanna be a Matoran Idiot.

A bunch of islands inside a giant robot.

And thanks to the Order of Mata Nui,

There's a six-month gap in my memory.

Welcome to a new kind of deception,

Stretching through the pocket dimensions.

And everything is supposed to be okay.

The Great Beings dream up solutions,

Ignoring Makuta revolutions.

Is that enough to sway you?

"Metru Nui"

Parody of "Ohio" by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. It's about the murders in Metru Nui that Tuyet committed.

Dark Hunters and Tuyet's coming.

We're all in danger, aren't we?

This summer, I hear the drumming:

Two dead in Metru Nui!

Gotta get down to it.

She'll vaporize us all.

Should've been done long ago...

What if you knew her and

Found the Stone in her wall?

How could you run when you know?

Na na-na-na na na na-na

Na na-na-na na na na

Na na-na-na na na na-na

Na na-na-na na na na

Gotta get down to it.

She'll vaporize us all.

Should've been done long ago...

What if you knew her and

Found the Stone in her wall?

How could you run when you know?

Dark Hunters and Tuyet's coming.

We're all in danger, aren't we?

This summer, I hear the drumming:

Two dead in Metru Nui!

Two dead in Metru Nui! (Two!)

Two dead in Metru Nui!

Two dead in Metru Nui! (How many more?)

Two dead in Metru Nui!

Two dead in Metru Nui! (Why?)
