History FanFic / Klaanon

* LighterAndSofter: Where it counts. It's very, very rare when something can be both this and DarkerAndEdgier. Some of Klaanon's trademark goofy humor and silliness like [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments riding]] [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs a biomechanical tapir]] [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome into battle]] could never have made it into the main Bionicle storyline.

Klaanon tells the story of an organization called Bio-Clan, a group of war refugees, retired adventurers and all sorts of outcasts. Led by Toa Tawa, the members of Bio-Clan seek to live in peace, but their island is attacked by the evil Alliance. Once so beautiful forests are turning into battle zone, as the Alliance, a coalition of united enemies of Bio-Clan start conquering the island. But the plot thickens as mysterious Avde enters the playing field, and the chase for the fragments of an ancient artifact and a powerful weapon called Nimda begins.

* NamesTheSame: No, Matoro and Kapura in this story have nothing to do with the ones in the canon. And neither does Keetongu or Guardian.

* LateArrivalSpoiler: Suprisingly well and interestigly averted. Given how much inside hype there is within the project's writers these days, promotional material, mostly posters, created for single or bigger chapters tend to be kept well restrained, not including any info about them outside of slight hints, but anything that gives even a slight hint about chaters' stories themselves are usually kept hidden until good part of readers have read them.

* FiveManBand: There are multiple examples, but the most obvious one would be the gang returning from the frozen island and Ath-Koro.
** TheHero: Guardian
** TheLancer: Ämkoo
** TheSmartGuy: Kepe
** TheBigGuy: Killjoy
** TheChick: Snowman
** SixthRanger: Domek, while a trusted member of the Bio-Clan, joins the group last and is sort of an outsider.

* AlienBlood: Even though it's created from Lego story meant for kids, it can be extremely bloody.

* TeasingCreator: Holding back vital information about the Feterra from the reader, when some of the ''main characters'' already know it, is going into straight-up trolling levels.

* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: Order of Mata Nui is more or less this in the offical canon. In Klaanon, they are what happens when the inquisition meets CIA.
* WeHaveReserves: Pretty much the ultimate example with the Nazorak Empire. Many of their battle strategies are really suicidal. This quickly turns [[FridgeHorror pretty sickening]], when you realize that the backbone of their army consist of children, even if they are quickly matured.

* AffablyEvil: ZMA may be vile and despicable, but unmannered he certainly isn't.
** Also Avde, of course. He is manipulative and devilish, but hasn't spoken a single lie, ''probably''.
* AffectionateParody: The story never gives up an opportunity to poke fun of some of the more weirder aspects of Bionicle, although sometimes occational [[TakeThat Take Thats]] are thrown around.

* AnotherMansTerror: Happened on Temple of Delta with Puppets.

* AllThereInTheManual: When [[TheWikiRule Klaanon Wiki]] first came out, some it's pages contained mostly knowledge that wasn't adressed within story itself, like information of some characters' backrounds, equipments etc.

* ApocalypticLog: "Diary" of Tarip the Rusteye in Temple of Delta.

* AuthorAvatar: Given how it is a text-RPG originally, it's kind of inevitable to have these. However, most of the self-inserts seem to be limited to the creator's username and a few similiar characteristics. Some have barely any resemblance.
* BattleInTheRain: Happened in Xia.

* {{Deconstruction}}: This to Bionicle itself. When it's not a {{Reconstruction}} or an AffectionateParody.
** Specific examples; The story examines how Skakdis' genetic alterations to bloodthirsty warriors and centuries spanning conflict would do to it's society, the after effects of Toa-Dark Hunter war, how something as evil and eldritch as the Makuta would effect on people and why Zyglaks' hate Matorans (and pretty much everyone else) as much as they do. All of this tend to paint Skakdis and Zyglaks a more sympathetic light, in contrast to how the canon potrays them as AlwaysChaoticEvil.
* DemonicPossession: Snowie and the creepy parasite.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: First Lieutenant 955.
* DoesntLikeGuns: Considering the high level of technology, this seems to be the only reason why so many of the characters fight with swords and spears instead of firearms.
** Well, that and [[RuleOfDrama one other reason.]]

* EveryoneChasingYou: The whole Metru Nui plot.
* EveryScarHasAStory: Or more like every prostethic bodypart has a story.
* FateWorseThanDeath: The Puppets.

* FlashBack
* GambitPileup: LET'S SEE. Avde and ZMA are manipulating both the Alliance and the Clan's leaders to do their dirty bidding, but meanwhile Avde is also manipulating ZMA and ZMA is manipulating Avde. Avde apparently has some kind of a deal with Ämkoo, but so does General 001. Several Alliance leaders are also using each other, as Gagegudder is working with Avde behind General 001's back and Abzumo is manipulating 001 himself by withholding information. But none of the other Alliance leaders actually know what General 001 wants by conquering the Clan's island - so it's possible he's manipulating them back! Confused yet? Good! Meanwhile Zairyh has manipulated Makuta Abzumo to hand over the shard of Nimda so he may manipulate Kapura to help him kill Jouera, the Dark Hunter Purifier has manipulated Saraji to betray the Clan and join his side, the Oracle is spinning his own web on the behalf of the Holy Mother and the unseen traitor in Clan's ranks might just be manipulating all of the moderators and other traitor candidates in a big old game of cat and mouse. Klaanon, ladies and gentlemen!

* GladiatorGames: In the Nazorak hives. Speculated to be retconned.

* GuiltyPleasures:
** Ämkoo, the mysterious and super powerful shadowy katana warrior, is a coffee addict.
** Manu, the insane demi-god and brilliant scientist, sure enjoys his cup of tea and some nice organ music.
* {{Hallucinations}}: Kredipselleeni, maaaan.

* OurAngelsAreDifferent: The story takes the already-sort of-present angelic symbolism of the [[EldritchAbomination Makuta race]] and runs with it. More than once they are described as "Mata Nui's fallen angels". Makuta Abzumo's terrifying airship of doom is even called "The Archangel".
* PlayingWithSyringes: The Nazoraks are trying to create a better version of themself.

* PortmanteauCoupleName: Xentoro.
** Also: Deltoro. Deitoro. Catoro. [[LauncherOfAThousandShips Yes, all of them involve Matoro.]]

* ResearchInc: The Selecius Foundation.

* TeasingCreator: Holding back vital information about the Feterra from the reader when some of the ''main characters'' already know it is going into straight-up trolling levels.
* TechnologyPorn: Killjoy is like walking porn magazine in this regard.

* TrashTheSet: The attack of the Feterras, the nightly bombing raid.
* TheUnreveal: What's inside a Feterra.

* WarIsHell

* WorthyOpponent: Ämkoo and the Marionette.
** ZMA and Guardian.

This brainchild of a Finnish Bionicle forum originated as a text based role playing game, but quickly cascaded into a massive multi-author fanfiction epic with a complex plot, [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters an enormous cast of characters]] and a tight update schedule. The story is unfortunately only currently available in Finnish. It can be read [[http://klaanon.bioklaani.fi on its own website]].

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: For they are numerous. Big time.

!! This work of fiction provides examples of:

** Killjoy's television got broken by Matoro [[NeverLiveItDown and he's sure as hell not going to stop reminding about that]].

* LighterAndSofter: Where it counts. It's very, very rare when something can be both this and DarkerAndEdgier. Some of Klaanon's trademark goofy humor and silliness like [[CrowningMomentOfFunny riding]] [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs a biomechanical tapir]] [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome into battle]] could never have made it into the main Bionicle storyline.

* {{Badass}}: Comes in all flavours thanks to the massive cast of characters.

* FlamethrowerBackfire: Guradian shoots plasma ray right into Purifier's flamethrower cannon arm.

* GloryDays: Matoro and Umbra seem to miss their advenurous pasts.

** Some of the Amates' characterizations were based on their author's chilhood MOCs.

* Canon Immigrant: Killjoy's characterization was created well before Klaanon started.

* RuleOfDrama: BIONICLE has been potrayed a story with creatures who can bend elements to their will and some that have power to [[StoryBreakerPower BLOW UP WHOLE ISLANDS]], and has also included lots of it's own in-universe firearms. In Klaanon, however, all that stuff has been toned down greatly, because with stuff like that a conflict of militaristic humanoid cockroaches trying to siege contor of a small island from an organization which have more than one of aforementioned walking nuclear bombs at their troops would probably be kinda boring, woudn't it?

* StuffBlowingUp: Whenever Killjoy, Bladis, or GageTechnologyPorngudder's troops are present, this is almost guaranteed,

* TechnologyPorn: Killjoy's gadgets and Guardian's weapons

* HealingFactor: Matoro has a healing stone in his armor

* GambitPileup: LET'S SEE. Avde and ZMA are manipulating both the Alliance and the Clan's leaders to do their dirty bidding, but meanwhile Avde is also manipulating ZMA and ZMA is manipulating Avde. Avde apparently has some kind of a deal with Ämkoo, but so does General 001. Several Alliance leaders are also using each other, as Gaggulabio is working with Avde behind General 001's back and Abzumo is manipulating 001 himself by withholding information.
