Toaster Retribution Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 Lets just do something fun and easy: take a character from fiction, and fit them into a KR-order based on their personality and the order. Here are some suggestions from me: -Thrawn (Star Wars) - Elsecaller. He is calm, collected, uses logic, and is ruthless. -Harry Potter - Windrunner. He has the same "I have to protect everyone" problem that Kaladin has. -Legolas (Lord of the Rings) - Dustbringer (???) He is pretty obedient to whomever he follows, and undeniably brave. Any others? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DalinarsThrill Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 Kvothe I could see as an Edgedancer/Lightweaver. He "remembers those that are forgotten" and also has many "juicy truths" that Im sure the a Lightweavers spren would love! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nymeros Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) Naruto Uzumaki - Stoneward: Dependable? Resourceful? Stubborn in the face of proven error? Check, check, check. As an adult though, he would absolutely be the Bondsmith. Character development and all that. Itachi Uchiha - Elsecaller: Wise, and careful, sog spren attracted to cold and stoic philosophical types? Yeah. Sai - Lightweaver: He is already an artist, his character is essentially based around the figurative and literal masks he has to wear as a spy, and his magic involves bringing what he draws to life....come on now! Kabuto - Lightweaver: Same as with the above really; he's a nameless spy who on a quest to define him nature. At one point he is even trapped in an illusion that he cannot escape until he accepts his personal truth....again, come on! Tobirama Senju - Skybreaker: He developed most of infrastructure for the hidden leaf village and was focused on guidelines, codes, and the rule of law. He also has the stoic demeanor down to a T. Minato Namikaze - Windrunner: My dude was ever the soldier and gave his life protecting his home. He believed that fighting led to pain and hatred but that it was his job to confront that hatred any way. Sasuke Uchiha - Dustbringer: We don't know a lot about these guys other than that they likely strived to be brave and obedient and that they had short tempers, were prone to violence and had destructive flame based magic. Sasukes oaths would likely focus on becoming more obedient and less of a rogue, naturally. Edited January 21, 2018 by Nymeros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Could Be Fire Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) lol this gets me deep in the ASIOAF/Stormlight crossover that's been brewing deep inside me for a while. Stannis is clearly a Skybreaker — the law is what's right Davos an Edgedancer — "what is the importance of one bastard boy" "everything" I would put Theon, Sansa, and Arya all as lightweavers (with Sansa being the strongest candidate and Arya the weakest) — various issues of identity/personal truths and in Theon and Sansa's case some creativity Ned, Jon, and Cat I'd put as a Windrunners — Honor! and also protecting (both his family, but also Cersei's and her children) for Ned and Cat's essentially leading the North and also her focus on protecting her family (like Kal and Bridge Four). Jon in the Night's Watch is very much Kaladin and the Bridgemen. Dany is a Bondsmith, but not a very good one or at least a new one — her crusade to free the slaves feels very 'unite me' and also she's clearly speshul which Bondsmiths seem to be Jaime is a also a Windrunner, but a broken one — killing the king to protect the city is a very city is a very windrunner thing to do, along with a lot of his pre-series actions Tyrion is maybe an Elsecaller— his interest and scholarship along with his wide travels Edited January 15, 2018 by Could Be Fire 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bort Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Emmet, the Lego Movie, is obviously a Bondmsith. I mean, he builds stuff. With Lego. He could only get more bondy if we gave him some Kragl. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Szmit Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 John Cleaver from "I am not a serial killer" is definitelly a dustbringer. His main ideal is definitelly bravery plus he really likes to look at what's inside things (and people) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curiosity's Splinter Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Orochimaru from Naruto would be.... Eclo, or the same race as he, trying to somehow trick all the spren to bond him willingly or through clever application of force. I would really like to see that, now that the idea's taken time to sink in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormblessed Dolphin Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 (edited) Yugi. from Yugioh. (just Yugi, not the Pharaoh) Windrunner probably. the "i-need-to-protect-everyone- problem" applies here too. Edit: Actually, scratch that. idec. The real Windrunner is Nicolas Calva. He's the main character in Jennifer A. Neilson's Mark of the Thief Trilogy (which I just finished last night). And he for real faces some challenges with trying to protect everyone. I would highly recommend reading this series if you haven't. She also wrote The False Prince, another really good book (and its 2 sequels).

As is Dany and I love the idea of the Stark sisters being the same order but with different truths and applications for lightweaving. Personally, I would put Ned in the role of Bondsmith though. His position in the story and world along with the way people react to him just seem Bondsmithy to me. Even living legends like Barristan need emotional support from Ned, and Nes is for forgivness and unity. "The lone wolf dies but the pack survives." Plus Stormfather would love that Ned doesnt break his word and their interactions would be hilarious....Ned has far less tolerance for nonsense than Dalinar.

BasementDwellingRadiant Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Danny Fenton from Danny Phantom: Windrunner Flare from Dragon Riders of Pern: Bondsmith Molly Carpenter from Dresden Files: Lightweaver(not only because of her powers.

The Gecko Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 While reading Les Miserables, I noticed the beautiful comparison between Javert and Jean Valjeans conflict and the conflict between the Skybreakers and the Windrunners. Jean Valjean is a Windrunner, though possibly a Edgedancer? Javert is obviously a Skybreaker. Without any doubt. Perhaps the Bishop would make a good Edgedancer Any others from Les Miserables that are so obvious? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devout Pathian Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 Carrot (from Terry Pratchet’s Discworld) would totally be a Skybreaker. He likes to follow the law too exactly (espcially in Guards Guards!). Along the same thought process, I think Nobby and Lopen would get along great. Carrot’s squires would be all the people in the city watch. Vimes would soon swear his ideals and become a full Skybreaker thereby still out-ranking Carrot, even though we all know Carrot was better at policing first. One more thought, I would love to see Vimes screaming “Where’s my cow?” with a shardblade in his hands. That would be terrifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ailvara Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 I don't see anyone doing WoT? Ok, let's open this sack of characters. You can add a question mark to each of these... Rand - some strong Bondsmithing business here Moiraine - a cool-headed woman with a mission, I'd go with Elsecaller Egwene - she's one of the most impatient and adventure-inclined from the start, which makes me think maybe Willshaper Nynaeve - needs surge of Progression, Edgedancer would probably fit a bit better than Truthwatcher Mat I-am-no-hero... Windrunner? Galad - Skybreaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyRioter Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 From Codex Alera: Tavi may be a Bondsmith, he's fantastic at uniting people. Either that or an Edgedancer, he accomplishes a lot of what he does by actually listening to people that most people don't listen to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windrunner? Galad - Skybreaker Egwene also has some Bondsmith characteristics. Or, arguably, the three ta'veren could be the Bondsmiths, whether they like it or not. Lan - Stoneward Rhuarc - Windrunner Cadsuane - Stoneward Elayne - Lightweaver Alivia - Truthwatcher Perrin - Bondsmith (even if it isn't "three ta'veren, three bondsmiths") Faile - Willshaper Tuon probably wouldn't attract a spren because she's just wouldn't fit "life before death" and "journey before destination", but if she would, I'd say Bondsmith. She'd probably not settle for anything less anyways. Maybe Skybreaker. Min - Truthwatcher Aviendha - Windrunner Silviana - Dustbringer Gawyn - Windrunner? Unsure about this one. Androl - Willshaper (arguably a Brandon character though?) Demandred - Dustbringer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
