By the way, I asked what you would feel like if Kopaka was a Vahki, because Kopaka is you favorite character to write about, and the Vahkis are your least favorite. So this would be a fun thing to think about.
1) In terms of what?
11) I can't canonize any names, because I have no legally approved names to use
1) "Tyrant" was last seen falling in the sea, swearing revenge! Did he drown, or is he planning his revenge right now? 
11) Oops, I forgot to mention that Listrik is Indonesian for 'Electricity', thats why I thought it was obvious it couldn't be canon. 
By the way, sorry for some of my questions getting weak, I'll make sure I only ask relevant things from now on!

1) I don't believe he is dead, no
2) Usually if we can't use foreign terms, it is because they mean something offensive in another language. However, it is possible someone may have trademarked that word already (a company or something), so that would normally need to be checked through Legal.

Alright, so I was reading a forum on BZPower(About this very topic in fact) and someone named "Twi" wants to know who built all the robots in the Hero Factory universe, as well as why they have gender distinction.
Neither point is covered in the HF story bibles I have seen, and since I am not on the story team for that line, it's not info I could speculate on.
Oh, and another question. If this does'nt involve eternal torture from the dark hunters, (
) then what is the Shadowed one's REAL name?
Wow. I just found this topic. This is awesome. Hi Greg! I have no question I can think of right now, but I shall think of some soon maybe. =D
Greg, did you have any other theme ideas while thinking about Ninjago and Bionicle? If so, what were/was those/that themes about?

Not revealing this.

I didn't create Ninjago or BIONICLE, L. And any theme ideas that I came up with in a LEGO brainstorm belong to LEGO Company, so I wouldn't be free to share them here.

Okay, Greg, this awesome. Do you think you'll still be writing Storylines for LEGO in like twenty years, or something? Also, do you think that you'll be giving any near upcoming, or just upcoming at all LEGO Themes Epic Storylines? I'm a fan, Greg.
(P.S. I'm trying to write a Storyline for the history of the LU Storyline after the closing, so could you please give me some tips on writing it, and also on making it seem to stick to the canon, and not lose the LU feel, while still adding my own Storyline idea(s)?)
(P.P.S. Were you really continuing the Bionicle Story, and telling what happened after the 2010 "Storyline" on BionicleStory.Com?
:awed::all_appropriate_emoticons
(P.P.S.S. If you could find the time, and if "LEGO" were to "bring back Bionicle," "so to speak," if you were still the one writing it, do you think that you would be able to make sure it maintained its feel and quality? Oh, and by the way, can you please tell me about some LEGO Characters that you made, but never got approved? (And Please use The Quote on at least Part of my post in your reply(ies))
It is truly an honor, Mr. Farshtey.
Good Bye 'til my next post!
god bless!
1) No idea.
2) Well, since Universe doesn't exist anymore, I am not sure you have to worry that much about sticking to canon since there is no canon to stick to now.
3) For a short time, yes
4) It's hard to say -- quality, yes, but feel could be different depending on what direction LEGO Company wanted to take the property.
5) I never created any characters that got rejected.
Well, what if (thinking hypothetically) LEGO were to bring back Bionicle and consult you?
And @ 2.): I mean the 2010-2012 canon.
Thanks, Greg (it's okay if I call you that, right?
) for letting us chat with you on this topic.

Got it, man.
Is it just me, or do I seriously get the vibe GF is hating this topic? I asked one question, I'm just going to ask another to keep it short.
Greg, I have been noticing that you refuse to answer questions about even part of The Shadowed One's name. I am not asking what it is, or even part of it, I am mereley asking if either you have a name for him you're not telling or you do not have any real name for him.
