Straff Venture Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Following up on my previous thread, I would like to see who everyone's favourite characters in the cosmere books are. My own is Marsh, whose character I thought was greatly thought out and written. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhevir Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 I don't know why really but for some reason I really liked Galladon . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comatose Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 This one is a toughie. Kelsier or Vin are the obvious choices for me. Next would probably be Sarene, Hrathen, Raoden (yes, I liked Elantris), Siri, Shallan, or Jasnah (in no particular order). Oooo, favorite minor character is definitely Lady Kliss or Yeoman. And I forgot about TenSoon and Ruin... and the Lord Ruler, and Alendi.... who I also enjoy. This is more difficult than I initially expected.

Observer Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Vin was my favorite hands-down, closely followed by Kelsier and Elend. TenSoon, Sazed, Hrathren and Spook follow after, all of these in no particular order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenith Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Kaladin, all the way . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterGhandalf Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Hmmm- Vin is probably my overall favorite, with Elend, Sazed, and Lightsong also up there. Hrathen and Vivenna both have development I really enjoyed, even though as people I don't care much for either of them, and I do look forward to where Vivenna's arc ends up going when Warbreaker 2 eventually comes out. I'm rather fond of most of the principle cast of Way of Kings as well, but since we're going to be spending approx. nine more books with these people, I'm currently withholding judgment in terms of placing them with my favorites. That about covers it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaeMofo Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 (edited) Zane would be my favourite if he didn't whine like a little girl, I would have to say Vivenna or Jasnah. I'm currently rereading Elantris and am thoroughly enjoying the characters of Sarene and Shuden. Also in the lightsong fangirl clan.

Lightflame Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Breeze, Lightsong, TenSoon, Marsh/Giga-Marsh, Marasi, Hrathen, Dalinar, Jasnah, Axies Ketchum..... Can we just say that the Cosmere is full of too many awesome characters, leaving me unable to choose a favourite? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deoradhan Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Lightsong, Breeze, Sazed, Kelsier, Vasher, Hrathen, Kaladin... Oh, jeez, there are so many awesome Cosmere characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xover Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Shocked nobody has said Hoid, Especially under his WIT persona. OMG everytime WIT talked, I was on the floor laughing. But I am a Huge fan of Sazed, Sazeth, and Wayne from Alloys of Law. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comatose Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Lightsong! How could I forget him? And Blushweaver! Ugh, too many good characters indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamato Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Hmmmmm.... Mistborn has the most for me. Vin, Kelsier and Sazed are probably my 3 favorite. Dalinar really grew on me, so he goes in the second tier. The Lord Ruler is fascinating to me as a concept rather than a character, but i'll put him in anyway. Out of all those, I'm going to have to go with Vin. I really enjoy rooting for characters with psychological damage, and Vin was the exact right combination of vulnerable and badass.

Observer Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Ah yes, the King's Wit. Hoid was pretty good her, and I think we've seen him doing his crazy lightweaving here, along with Warbreaker. This guy has me worried though, whether he's good or not is irrelevant, it comes down to whether what he's doing is good or not. I guess only time (or a similarly revealing SA book) will tell.

happyman Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I didn't think it until Comatose mentioned it, but Lightsong. Definitely Lightsong. He's probably the one I would enjoy hanging out with the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenith Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I didn't think it until Comatose mentioned it, but Lightsong. Definitely Lightsong. He's probably the one I would enjoy hanging out with the most. Nothing but this. The opportunity to be somewhat made fun of? This guy, Shallan, and a few other wisecracks...

Observer Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 If I could talk with somebody for an hour, it'd probably be Hoid. Assuming I can get a straight answer from him >_> Other than that, Shallan, Lightsong, and maybe even Jasnah would be my game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dionysus Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 (edited) I was struggling between Lightsong and Kelsier, but then I remembered that wherever Kaladin goes Syl is also there so I settled on Kaladin. Kaladin is pretty awesome by himself, but when you throw in Syl.... Edited October 12, 2012 by dionysus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darklight66675 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Quick speculation:Who would win in a verbal battle between Hoid(as Wit) and Lightsong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkanimereal1 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Quick speculation:Who would win in a verbal battle between Hoid(as Wit) and Lightsong? I honestly think they would both start out insulting each other (or someone else), but then they'd start throwing out bits of nonsense and the whole argument would devolve into a nonsensical battle, particularly because of Hoid's fondness for "Gibberish" ... “Nonsense. Balderdash. Figgldygrak. Isn't it odd that gibberish words are often the sounds of other words, cut up and dismembered, then stitched into something like them—yet wholly unlike them at the same time? I wonder if you could do that to a man. Pull him apart, emotion by emotion, bit by bit, bloody chunk by bloody chunk. Then combine them back together into something else, like a Dysian Aimian. If you do put a man together like that, Dalinar, be sure to name him Gibberish, after me. Or perhaps Gibletish” That would be hilarious. I want in. As for characters, I'd say Lightsong, Hoid, Shallan and Jasnah. Probably Lightsong wins. I love him so much. And in combination Llarimar he's just fantastic.

Phantom Monstrosity Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Quick speculation:Who would win in a verbal battle between Hoid(as Wit) and Lightsong?It doesn't really matter, Hoid set it up to steal Lightsong's best lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADIMORTIS Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I'd go with Hrathen. Loved the fact that he preached a religion that he did not completly believe in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
