"We have also seen these occasional... values, as you say." Irohun replies. "Thank you. Perhaps we can at least give you supplies for other projects?"
"The lives you have saved are already worth a lot -- accepting further payment would be selfish, greedy, and would put us in even more debt than we already are. I mean, seriously, I'm pretty sure we've all collectively lost count of how many times that Brotherhood has saved our hides -- they are amazing leaders. Much... much more hardworking than the Great Spirit, come to think of it."

"...hmm."
Sohund wraps Svin's arm around his shoulder, but a quick refusal tells him to put his efforts elsewhere. "Well then, what will you need for the weapons?"
The Turaga of Nynrah happens to hear this and arrests the short Matoran
"Don't say contradictory things just because you feel like it! Scrub!"
Any attempts to arrest this matoran ends horribly and fails spectacularly.
OOC: Nynrah has no Turaga, no real government, and don't care about ethics. They made GAARADUS and were responsible for at LEAST one Dark Hunter.
OOC: Canonically speaking, while it is true that Matoran do demonstrate different ethics and morals depending on who they are -- that doesn't mean that this kind of change is unreasonable.
While I've demonstrated in the past that my philosophy towards fanon/canon heavily leans toward the canon, the personalities of characters is where I make the most exceptions. RP is all about people inventing their own characters, and that also means having unique personalities for them. In respects to the fact that Nynrah was a relatively minor location in the BIONICLE universe, and also factoring in the consideration that as I've said, the Matoran are a diverse species (most of which do lean towards good) I would say that there's no reason to be against such a minor change to a minor island.
I mean... in an RP where so much is strictly canon, something like this is where the rules can and should be loosened up a bit.
I'm not saying Nynrah should be the next Stelt -- but I AM saying that the ethics of the Matoran living here probably might differ slightly from canon.
Also, in the above post, I only mentioned a Turaga because those are typically the people who lead an island.

'differ slightly'. They kidnapped a Ta-Matoran and mutated him for fun. They ruined the life of at least one Dark Hunter and have no morality, or very little. They also were GHOSTS, you never saw them, or anything. They had NO government, NO leader. There would NEVER be a Turaga, at least, not a Turaga who LEAD anything.

The whole point of RP is to have an entirely different set of characters than the original canon. It. Doesn't. Matter.

Except it does. Not only did you try and use Karzahni, a canon character for that matter, the ENTIRE way the Nynrah Ghosts FUNCTIOn would be changing if you do this. They would no longer be the Nynrah Ghosts. Then again, I don't see why we are discussing this, it's not like any turaga could actually arrest my characters and survive.

OOC: Wait, a month ago he said something similar about his RPC Corathe...
IC: Svin contacts the questionable Nynrah through
Eharth echoes his brothers question. "...what supplies do you need?"

This is nothing that can't be changed later. I don't know if you've noticed, but one of the Nynrah Ghosts happens to be Fendrak...
I mean -- they're Matoran. They don't HAVE to be heartless, in fact, most of them shouldn't be.
Bad would be if these Matoran were demonstrating powers they shouldn't have, which, come to think of it, if they can't do something as simple as arresting a single individual Matoran, you're probably guilty of that

Perhaps, but it shouldn't be changed. And I own like 18 Nynrah Ghosts, your point?
There are plenty of examples of evil matoran: And no Nynrah Ghost in canon has shown things such as mercy
A single matoran who happens to carry blades with her at all times and has no qualms about violence.

The Nynrah Ghosts here opened fire on a group of Skakdi not too long ago... I'm pretty sure they'd be more than willing, and capable, of capturing a single Matoran. Dead or alive.
What you are partaking in right now is hypocrisy. You are the last person I'd of expected to argue against fanon.
That's the thing about anarchy, though, isn't it? Nobody can unite under the same ideal, Angonce forbid there be peace.
