Setting[]
On March 1st 2009, a mysterious force of light came down on the inhabitants of Bara Magna (after the events of Journey's End), and transported them all to a strange planet called Earth. Although confused as to how all this happened, the Bionicles and the humans coincided peacefully. But as a result of this collision, some rather surreal creatures were created as well, such as a Toa of Twilight, and a mystical Guru. And some changes to the Earth's landscape were made also, such as a large desert in central England.
The series' protagonist is a fifteen-year-old boy, whose name is unknown, but is recognised by everyone as 'The Protohuman'. He is quite a mysterious individual, and whenever something about his personal life is revealed, a creative method is used to censor it out, so the readers won't know. He usually resides in London, near Baker Street. He owns a blue minibus, which he and his companions use for transportation.
A recurring theme in the franchise is people, (usually villains), telling Protohuman that 'Marsukathor is coming'. This phrase has ricocetet throughout the series and will be concluded in 'Final Requiem'.
Characters[]
- Protohuman is a young, mysterious person, and the main character in the series. He is based off of his real life counterpart in many ways; 1) he wears a compass around his neck, 2) he has long hair with blonde streaks, and 3) he is of half-Indian ancestry. Very little about him is known. He also owns a minibus, but he only learned to drive in series 3. The writer has declared that he will reveal his true name at the end of the final chapter of the franchise... And another surprising twist is set to come as well...
- Makuta of Comedy is an ex-Brotherhood member, who turned to the good side. He appears to be Protohuman's unofficial sidekick, and they go back to before the main series begun. In Final Requiem, it turns out that he is in fact female, (due to the real life counterpart doing so).
- Thomas.Hunter/Valborg Svenson/Lashes From Nine is a mystical guru, originally residing in Florida, but seems to travell around the world a lot. He was first seen in Austrailia, as a crackpot wizard. He then became a regular member of the main four in series 3, as the owner of the London Flat.
- Takanuvatoaoftwlight is a nooby Toa of Twilight, who first appears in series 3. He was originally cast as a mad scientist, but was changed quickly. It is apparent that he died off-screen before Final Requiem, but before 'A Very Err... Robotic Christmas!'. This is due to the real-life member disappearing from BZP.
- The Evil Person is the main villain of the series. His origins are unknown, but whenever he encounters Protohuman and his companions, he attempts to kill them. His background and name shall be revealed in Final Requiem.
- Teridax is the head of the Brotherhood of Makuta and, in this series, talks with a Cockney accent. He always greets his enemies with, "Alwigh' boyz?". His Rahkshi minions also speak this way.
- The other villains that have been included are The Shadowed One, Vezon, The Bohrok Swarms, Ahkmou, Tuyet, Karzahni, and many more...
- The Enterprise Crew from Star Trek: The Next Generation appear in series 2, which acts as a crossover.
- The Hippie is a dazed and psychedelic-ly minded hippie, who appears in some episodes and would quote a scientific fact, (usually researched from Wikipedia by the writer).
- Marsukathor an unknown entity, who is apparently coming closer and closer to the Earth. Protohuman is warned by countless people throughout the series, "Marsukathor is coming!". His form and background will be revealed in Final Requiem. But what has been unfolded so far, is that every Bionicle villain is trying to release him into the world. And so the Evil Person sent PH, MOC and T.H on a final mission to defeat them all first. While the writer knows what he actually is, his true form will have to wait.

In the first episode, 'Cronos' the ship hurtles through a time vortex, and end up to when the Earth had not yet been formed.
