*looks. Does a double take.* You copied and pasted that, didn't you.

Darkness held still. A small smile graced his face, then he realized that Ark couldn't see it through the helmet. In a sudden explosion of motion, the crystal exploded outwards. Pieces were hurled to the far ends of the room like shrapnel. And Darkness was gone from the epicenter. Instead, he was behind Ark. He struck with several small knives, embedding them to the hilt on the amber.

I've updated his bio, and cleared up the confusion about his channeling abilities @MacThorstenson.

Darkness said nothing, opting to let his silence intimidate his opponent. Then, he sat on the ground. He became perfectly still, like a stone. Then he waited.

Yup that's about it.

Kenoth has sort of the same abilities as a wise one. Can do some abnormal things, but really doesn't channel. I suppose you could say he's an extremely weak channeler, so weak that he can't access any weaves.

Stands there looking cool while Ark does his next move.

Welcome to our most illustrious guild. I'll add you to the PM.

Hey Quibble. Just in case you don't know, it's Kaladin from discord. Welcome to the shard. I hope you enjoy it here. Here's a quick guide on everything here: General Brandon Discussion is a good place to go to talk about anything Sanderson, General Cosmere discussion is a great, spoiler-free, place to post theories or talk about the cosmere. I would avoid subforums on books you haven't read, as they're full of spoilers. As far as forum games go, The Last Post Wins is a great place to do spammy things without the mods noticing . I suppose you could also go with The Longest Thread, but The Last Post Wins is better. I created it though, so I am biased. As far as role-playing goes, the Alleyverse is the best place to do that. Any questions about it I'm willing to answer, as it can be a confusing place. Hope you enjoy your time here, and welcome again to the shard!

My power: Everything I do is inhanced 1,000 times. It's like 1,000 people are doing the same thing from the same position at the same time. So I have super-strength, super agility, super everything. You have to shoot me 1,000 times to kill me. My weakness would be 1,000 of anything in one place. My brand of evil would be evil. I like to act macho, and killing people is a part of that. They don't matter to me. To me it's like killing mice. I would be known as.... 1,000 Times Man and would have a cheesy boxer outfit.

@Voidus/@MacThorstenson Warning, Wheel of Time spoilers to follow:

Galvris walked in, sitting down and putting his sword on the stool next to him. "Your strongest drink" he said. He had no need to get approved, as he was already an approved character, but since he was the most OP character he could think of, he thought he'd just make a starting post here. He noticed the tavern was suddenly populated with mimes, and seconds later, that train of thought was derailed, dragged through a creek, down a ravine, set on fire, smashed into a wall, and dashed to a million pieces at the bottom of a bottomless pit. He suddenly remembered why he was here. His duel. He'd somehow been foolish enough to challenge Hellbent to a duel. He'd actually lasted quite a while. But the vast difference in power had caught up to him eventually. He'd changed at least part of that duel to canon, so he now had third-degree burns on his forearms. He'd chosen not to heal them. Not only did it look cool, but it also served as a reminder to not bite off more than he could chew.

Darkness drew two short katana's from his back, and twirled them in a complex, but showy, kata. He then stepped out onto the floor, walking slowly and cautiously towards Ark. @Ax's Boyfriend

Darkness stood there imperiously. He would not be intimidated by this rabble. However, he knew he could never take them all at once. Or even consecutively. He might be able to take five or six, but he would tire. There was one chance, though. Silently, the dark figure regarded the group. Finally he spoke, his voice raspy and distorted by the mask. "I would challenge you to a one-on-one duel, but I realize that the Ghostblood leadership has no honor." Without another word, he charged them. Without drawing on his immense speed, the charge was much more dramatic. Much more distracting too. He pulled two heavy, long daggers from somewhere on his person, and swung them about in a very flashy manner. In the process of engaging the point man, he dropped a small proximity bomb. Kicking it, it rolled to the very center of the group. It detonated, spraying shrapnel at the men. They flew back, all sustaining serious wounds. @Ax's Boyfriend

All I remember is hours spent reading through ancient threads. Threads so ancient, that there were many ancient people on them. I saw the names of Kobold King, Twilightsansparkles, etc. Kestrel was among them. How has Harmony attempted such a miracle, to bring back one of the old members?

The man in dark armor stood still, even when the projectile screamed towards him. It struck him in the shoulder, seemingly did no damage, and clattered harmlessly to the ground. Then he moved. Just a quick dash across the room, but it was taken so quickly, no one in the room saw it happen. In the blink of an eye he was right next to his opponents. He then went into action. In a blur of motion, he drew several small fighting knives and began to lash out at his opponents. Aiming for eyes, joints, and other weak points. Within seconds, his opponents were bleeding from several major wounds.

He kicked the first man in the chest, his armored foot doing irreparable damage. The two on the other side he grabbed by the throats. He brought them together, slamming their heads against each other, killing them instantly. All of this happened in the space of a second, and was over before anyone had time to react. @Dr. Dapper

The man in dark armor never moved an inch. A black sentry, awaiting challenge. Finally, he spoke, "I will have to kill you three. Quite a waste." @Dr. Dapper

@Sorana

A dark figure approached the city. He stood atop a hill, overlooking his prize. It would not be long before it was his... He walked forwards, silently slipping through the gate. The Aonic shielding did nothing to hinder his approach, as his Ghostblood tattoo was still good. The grand doors of the Ghostblood great hall were flung open. The man stood there. He was plated in dark armor, outlined in red. His helmet obscured his face in darkness. He held nothing in his hands, and appeared to be unarmed. He dramatically stepped into the center of the room, regarding all around him. Finally, in a gravelly, distorted voice, he spoke. "Follow me, or die. I challenge the leaders of this guild to step forwards and face me. " @I think I am here. @Sorana @Ax's Boyfriend

Darkness wondered the city, friendless... alone.... Nobody loved accept for that homeless over there who liked to hug people. But he would strike back. He would find a way to defeat them all. He would show each and every one of them. More importantly, he would wear cool armor and run around punching people. In hand-to-hand combat, Darkness was unparalleled. Give him a couple throwing knives, and he could spear the wing of a gnat without harming the insect itself. In melee combat, he could hold his own against virtually every competitor. However, he would need supporters. An army. And he knew just where to find them.

See the thing is, I was using that as an example. Yes, we can afford to have sub-par quality, but we don't. And you don't taste the metal, that would compromise our ability to trick people into spiking themselves...quality. Why would you want a normal cookie––no matter how good––when you could have a cookie that's delicious and gives you superpowers? Overall, we work harder on our products. You don't know how much of a nightmare that cookie bindpoints are. Although technically, the cookie itself doesn't have bindpoints, the spikes have to optimally placed to enter the bindpoints in the mouth. There's a whole science devoted to cookie hemalurgy. Pretty much everything works here too. Looks like Luna beat me to it.

Ahh, a third party has risen out of the ashes to challenge the two top topics; TLPW and TLT. The plot thickens

There's totally more than one. I mean, hook a spike up to me and I could whisper destruction into your ear. Nonono, The Dark Alley makes the best baked goods. We don't even have to be good at baking, we can just spike some flavor into it.
