It is helpful, but not necessary to have read the official books about the Toa Inika before reading this story. It is completely necessary to have a basic knowledge of the Mask of Light saga, and to know that I differ from the official method of how matoran are born. Instead of having them live forever and be created by a machine in Metru-Nui, I place their average lifespans around 300 years and have them born into families like humans, maintaining their mixed biological/machinery makeup. This necessitates having males and females in all elements, and some canon characters will have non-canon spouses and/or children. There will be semi-graphic depictions of injuries, blood, death, ghosts, and a brief adult reference without anything explicit. This is a PG-13 story.

It goes without saying, but for some reason everyone has to say it anyway: I do not own LEGO, BIONICLE, or any of their official characters or plotlines.
