[edit] Overview

The Bionicle (Biological Chronicle) was a long story told by and about organic/bio-mechanical beings. It spanned hundreds of thousands of years and took place on a planet known as Aqua Magna. All the landforms on said planet were divided into various islands with all extremes of climate and civilization. It was primarily about the Toa, the Matoran, and their adventures. Most beings in the Bionicle wore Kanohi, or "masks" that augment them with power. Elements were manipulated by all beings for constructive--and destructive--use.
