This got started in You Know You're a Sanderfan When... Part 2. The idea is to decide which power set historical figures from the real world would have if they were dropped into the Cosmere (preferably into roles similar to those they had in their actual lives). I think it should stay limited to the Cosmere, because if we add Epic abilities and Smedry talents, people could basically just make up custom power sets for their favorite figures. We started with Roshar and the Radiant orders, but all Cosmere settings and magics are open. It also started with American Civil War figures, and I'm not sure if it should be opened to all time periods at once. It would be a little hard to follow random jumps from the U.S. Civil War to the Roman Empire to World War II to the Shang Dynasty. I'm thinking theme weeks, Sunday through Saturday, each week following a certain time period. For example, this first week the thread will stick to the American Civil War, then the first person to post after noon on Sunday, May 24, 2015 will pick the time period to use until Sunday, May 31, after which the first poster picks the period until June 7, and so on until the thread dies. I'm not sure about this system, so if anyone has a better idea I'd like to hear it (preferably within the first few days). So here's what we've got so far: Kairos (sorry quote didn't work right): I think Stonewall Jackson has a better claim to the Stoneward. Come to think of it, that seems eerily close. Maybe he was secretly a Radiant, and it was his squires who accidentally shot him.
