  1. Hello everyone, I wanted to start an RP where anything goes. I currently have no plans for it. This can be fantasy, sci-fi, comedic, serious, or anything else. It could be all that at the same time too. A little violence is fine, but don't go overboard with the descriptions. Also, no killing other people's characters unless you have permission from them. You can have however many characters you want. And remember to have fun! Or not, I don't care. All right, let's get started. --------------------------- Altair stared out into the night. All was quiet as the grave. Altair rested his hand on his sword and prepared himself for what was to come. One week ago, he found a letter waiting for him on his porch. The letter only said "Be ready in a week for an adventure. Bring that sword of yours." And that was it. The envelope it came in had his name on it, Altair Ashler, and nothing else. So, Altair did the same thing any self respecting adventure seeker would do. He waited until it had been a week, then grabbed his sword, a sharp, double edged broadsword made of fine steel (it was, like, a thousand dollars off of eBay and totally awesome. Definitely worth it. He called his sword Geoff.) and sat on the swinging chair on his porch, waiting for an adventure. He sat like that for four hours. Finally, Altair stood up, having finally convinced himself that nothing was coming. It was probably just a prank from some random, er, prankster. He was about to head inside when he heard a whooshing noise. Altair spun around, trying to determine where it had come from. He picked up a flashlight in one hand, his sword in the other, and crept off his porch. He had gone no more than a few feet when he caught a glimpse of something in the trees. He gasped and dropped his flashlight in surprise.

    Roo's Writing Thread

    Welcome to my Writing Thread! I'm writing around 6 books, several with my cousins, and two on my own! I like writing XD "Why don't you stay for a while? I've got some soft blankets and a few mugs of hot chocolate. I even have two dogs! You can pet Sam, he's a good boi."
  3. I’ve thought about this a lot, scratch a complex Aon Daa (as long as I’m right and that’s the power Aon) into a lightsaber hilt, with modifiers to turn on when a part of it is pushed, and others to make the energy go out two feet then stop, and send energy out constantly. It should be able to be continuously powered because we know other Aons can stay on until turned off. I’m bad at explaining, but would this work?
  4. Drop your weirdest thoughts in here >:p
  5. Quick! The SAVE file has been corrupted and everyone in Undertale has been replaced with a character from a Sanderson book. Who do you think is depressing enough to replace Napstablook? Motherly enough to replace Toriel? Has legs hot enough to replace Mettaton? Can sell ice cream as well as the Nice Cream Man? Tough enough to replace Undyne? This is just meant to be a fun thread so go crazy with the replacements if you want!
  6. So given that the holidays are here, and there’s a lot of abilities in the Cosmere, I wonder: what would the Santa Clause of the Cosmere look like? I think there’s a few main magical properties of the all-powerful shard of St. Nick: Is able to deliver thousands of presents in one night can fit into any chimney and house without making a sound manages to eat an insurmountable amount of food in one night flies around the place in a sled led by reindeers Has a sack that holds a practically infinite amount of presents always knows who is naughty or nice is never caught by anyone and is relatively unknown to society never seems to die, or at least has a very long lifespan. So how would we craft CosmereClause? Some of these are easy, and others are much more difficult. This one is a verrry easy one. There are so many ways to extend your lifespan in the Cosmere. I would say the easiest would be Fifth Heightening, as it also gives a magical aura around you and frees you of any potential sickness. This seems to be a classic case of F-Bendalloy doing its thing. You can eat all you want, so long as you have the metal bracers under your coat. To me, I think this indicates an Edgedancer. It will make it easy to get in and out, and enable a speedy delivery of presents. It also means they are slippery, so law enforcement stands no chance at catching him. Perhaps Santa is also a Windrunner or a Skybreaker? It would explain the flight, but not really the reindeer or sled. And I’m also not 100% sure if being able to utilize the surge of Gravitation would be enough to deliver as many presents as Santa can get away with. There’s a lot of options here, but none of them feel great to me. Maybe they utilize the cognitive realm as a little pocket dimension? Maybe there’s soulcasting of presents? Perhaps soulstamping could even be involved? I think soulcasting would be the easiest to pull off, but it would kinda require the surge of Transformatoon, and not an ordinary soulcaster. As for the general pseudo-Omnicience, I do not really know. I mean, Santa could be a Shard, which would explain a lot, but that seems like a bit of a cop out. What are you folks’ thoughts? What are the secrets of Santa? We must get to the bottom of this.
  7. So this is purely fluff, just to stretch your creative mind. I’ve been wondering lately—what would my Shardblade look like? Obviously live shardblades can change form, but they generally have a base form. And when it boils down to it, I think that base form design has three main factors: your Radiant order, your personality, and your preferred fighting style. And because there are so many different aspects of a sword, I have decided to make a template! You are free to use it or not. Whatever floats your boat! Template: Koloss17’s Shardblade:
  8. Lorel decided he didn't really like infiltration. It could be fun at times, even downright enjoyable. There was the suspense, the adrenaline. But all the fun was ruined when you got caught. If only everyone pretended he wasn't a spy. Then he could go back to enjoying his job. But apparently the Set didn't take kindly to spies. And so it was in a very unenjoyable mood that Lorel found himself strapped to a chair with a sack covering his head, which made it surprisingly hard to see. A light turned on the room, barely making a difference. Lorel heard shuffling feet and whispered voices. Finally, one of his captors spoke up. "Lorel, we know you are not loyal to the Set. We also know, from searching your belongings, that there are others among our group that are not loyal. This means you have two choices." Lorel frowned slightly in confusion for a moment, though nobody else could see it. "Either you are killed publicly to make a point. Or you tell us the other unloyal members among us." Welcome to MR#65: Set on Infiltration This is a Blackout Game! This means that other than the following, you will not know all of the rules. More information will be given as the game progresses. The game consists of 48 hour cycles. There is a majority exe vote during the day. Tied votes are determined randomly. One on One PMs are allowed at the start of the game. And that's all you get for now. Signups will close on Friday, Sept 22nd at 5pm PST and start shortly after. @Devotary of Spontaneity is currently the IM for this game. Please include her and myself in any PMs created. Player List: Pinch-Hitters: Spectators: FAQ: Quick Links:
  9. we know that hemalurgic spikes can be stored in bodily materials (meat and blood) to prevent hemalurgic decay, so in theory, since pee is found in the bladder, could you store a hemalurgic spike in a massive bucket of pee to stop it from decaying? Same goes for gastric acid.
  10. What if more shards combined? We know Ruin and Preservation make Harmony, but what about others? What name would they have? Here are some ideas I had. Ruin + Odium = Malice Preservation + Honor = Stability Whimsy + Ruin = Chaos Any other ideas? Edit: this thread has become a place for fan made shard magic systems/shardworlds. It can be as specific as you want but if you include advanced calculations or science, please place it in a spoiler box at the end of your post and label it as such.
  11. All right, my humans You know what to do! Today We shall make Haikus! Use this form only: Beats of five, seven and five Haikus are the best!
  12. So I wondered why we didn't have one already. I'll start the first piece, and we can have multiple going at once. I think this should be familiar 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
  13. Ok so we don't know that much about voiding binding. But we know it parallels the surges Is from both for Renaran and the void binding chart. I thought we could speculate on possible void versions of the surges Will we get it right Probably not, But I thought it could be fun anyways. 1. Regrowth: Maybe something similar to Soul Forgery. Restores objects instead of people. 2. Soul casting: maybe a mix of soul Forgery and shapeshifting. 3. Cohesion, Tension: Maybe something akin to emotional elementary. We do see something like that from void Spven and the unmade. Any other ideas or speculation?
  14. Alright. So I'm just going to create a thread where I can throw either short stories or the beginnings to stories. I write a lot of beginnings to stories (you might have noticed) and never the ends. One day that will change. Constructive commentary 145% welcome. Book #1 Chapter 1 Chapter 2
  15. So we know scandrial is the more earth like inventions. And roshar is more magic based. we also know scandrial has 3 maybe 4 magic systems that they use. we also know that roshar, wait how many magic systems? ok so there is two ways to count magic systems. the KR are 1 system or 10 different systems. Each with their own side abilities too. then there’s the old magic, and voidbinding,(does it have 9 or 10 I forgot) so that brings us to 20 give or take 1. then there’s those magic fish, and the Larkin, and great shells, idk if that’s three or 1 or something else. And then there’s fabrials both slavery and voluntary fabrials. and possibly dancing magic in shinovar. the unmade. And possibly a cultivation magic system that we have yet to see. Each bondsmith honestly. Then singers transforming is that a magic system? so what’s yalls thoughts? I think I give up on exact count because honestly roshar is truly a special place, it’s no wonder that they came up with anti light first.
  16. This is similar to things like "The 100,000th post wins," except not. I will post somewhere in the forums the number 1. Whoever finds it first will comment on this and share the link where they found it. Then, they will post a number 2 (as a numeral) somewhere in the forums, and so on. Of course, you should always abide by the rules of the website and the topic you are in. You can place it inside of an actual post, but remember to put it in italics. E.g., Once upon a time, there was 1 big donut hole; I have 5 brothers. Let's see how high we get! Here comes the cliché line: Let the games begin! Edit: This post does not count.
  17. Alright folks. It’s time to merge Brandon Sanderson and magic. We’ll be answering 3 questions for each character in the Cosmere. 1. What color/color combination would represent them (color pie alignments) 2. what type of deck they would play 3. How invested (pun 1000% intended) would they be in Magic: The Gathering? I’ll start with a few of the main Mistborn cast members. Breeze: He definitely plays mono blue. You could argue that he would run group hug decks, which I think would also be valid. Color-wise, I’d say he’s mostly white leaning, with a bit of blue in there. I know that pins him as azorius, which is a bit too basic of his personality, but I’m sure you can find some nuanced bit of Azorius that fits him best. Maybe Ojutai? playing-wise, I think he’d be semi interested in the game, but mostly infatuated in the politics of a multiplayer game. That’s why I totally think he would be an avid commander player that really just does it for the kicks. I could see him being super competitive though. Vin: she’s probably the mono-red aggro player of the table. I think she’d be overwhelmed by the game’s rules and just stick with the basics. Maybe run some mono-green now and again? Color-pie wise, I think I’m the first book, she was quite black-aligned. Over time though, especially in books 2 and 3, I think she’s more Boros aligned, with a ruthless side, but mostly interested in acting as a shield and maintaining order among the chaos. So I’d say she’s overall Mardu in nature. Sazed: now Sazed is interesting. I think he would be dragged into playing by Kell or someone, and manage to take 20 minute turns. He’d totally lean towards the more complicated deck archetypes and give himself the most possibilities at all times and not want to lose any creatures in combat, and likely rarely attack. That’s why i’d say any type of Jeskai (red/white/blue) deck would be right up his alley. I could also totally see him building a collection. He’s get a kick out of the lore and all the different religions in Magic as well. Color-wise, I think he’s the most straightforward of the bunch. His whole arch is about representing both preservation and ruin. I’d say the color combo that best represents that is white/black Orzhov. let me know what you think of my calls and feel free to add your own! I know this is a less serious post, so if this better belongs in another forum, feel free to move it. Just thought this could get some thoughts going on our beloved characters.
  18. What Stormlight characters would you like to see become Radiant who haven't yet? What Order and why? I'll go first. I was thinking about Truthwatchers today and what kind of characters would make good (non corrupted) Truthwatchers. I came to the realization that The Mink would make a terrifying Truthwatcher or Lightweaver. He'd be absolutely impossible to contain, track down, or defeat. His brilliance paired with Illumination make him so deadly in my mind.
  19. I want a board book version of The Way of Kings for my little one. please?
  20. Okay, so I’m taking a little from Jedi vs Knight Radiants here but what about Knight Radiants vs allomancers? 1) mistborn vs Knight Radiant 2) misting vs Knight Radiant 3) feruchemist vs Knight Radiant 4) twinborn vs Knight Radiant 5) fullborn vs Knight Radiant 6) Kelsier vs Kaladin (or some other high end Radiants like Dalinar) You can pick the specific orders/oath level and metals and as @Duxredux has pointed out, you pick all the undefined parameters. 7) Awakening vs Knight Radiant 8) any magic system vs any other (the best users seen so far against each other specifically) 9) order vs order
  21. So this theory is about urithiru. so the theory was bouncing in my head on possible ways to take a bondsmith off planet, as we know bondsmiths are as op as the cosmer allows, and it’ll be useful to have access to them on more the three planets at most. So the theory hit me, urithiru would be perfect to transform into a massive mother ship. within the books it talks about how the sibling is the metal not the stone in the tower, using the stone to build upon the massive city. So my thought was why not put it on a ship and fly off roshar, maybe just cutting the mountain off and flying that(not the most cost effective but it could work) now the only problem I can see is a lack of towerlight but I see it more as a non issue because of the bondsmiths abilities to, what? Open perpendicularities. They literally have near infinite light. But what if the Bondsmith dies? Oh that’s easy. In the honor spren fortress their is a large container to store stormlight, I’m sure one can be made to hold towerlight, so that the sibling has plenty of time to choose the next bondsmith. so what’s yalls thoughts? Ideas? How would rosharin space craft look like? And how much easier/harder do you think it is to make them?
  22. Happy Independence Day everyone!! What are your favorite parts about today?
  23. We get a lot of "who would win in a fight" threads, so I thought I'd start something a bit different. Hopefully this will be fun. Pick a sport. Of all the non-Shard Cosmere , who would you want on your sports team? You can have a fun team or a competitive team. Example: Baseball Catcher - Breeze who would be demoralizing the opposition Pitcher - Lopen, because he'd totally be willing to use Lashings or Full Lashings on the ball when other Bridge 4 members wouldn't. Hope Breeze knows when to duck. Outfielders - Bridge 4 is pretty busted being able to fly and use Reverse Lashings. Sazed would do pretty well too with F-Speed. Bases - Kenton, though only if it counts if he's standing on base and his ribbon holds the glove that catches the ball Batter - Lift, not because she would be the best pick, but because she would have so much fun sliding onto the base. Being fast doesn't hurt though. Example: Basketball (villainous team, or at least considered bad guys at one point or another) Leshwi. It only counts as traveling if you land. Human, who is big enough to dunk from standing and defend a huge portion of the court, though there's a high risk of fouls. Moash because Kaladin is probably a prime pick for the other team. Marsh, because there aren't too many players that can "accidentally" puncture the ball because they have spikes sticking out of them. And he's just fast and powerful. Drile, who has quite a bit of control and defensive ability even without taking a step.
  24. Mistborn vs jedi Fun idea, 4 pages of constant arguing much fun. now let’s bring it over here 1) each order of radiant 1v1 a Jedi (use averages not kaladin, or anakin) 2) each order 1v1 a sith 3) a person swallows Yelig-nar and must fight a Jedi with no practice 4) a person is practiced with yelig-nar but the Jedi is aware of the abilities (to make it fair) 5) the best of the best from both sides face off who wins 6) radiants vs droid army who wins, why? bonus round! Regular shardbearer vs padawan ground rules: 1a) lightsabers and shardblades bounce off each other, as per a WoB that I’m sure @Frustration can provide. 1b) sense shardblades and plate are made of nearly the same stuff, plate will react as being hit with a blade when struct with a lightsaber. 2) no fighting in one universe or the other, 3rd party world for our entrainment. (This doesn’t include how the force might work within the cosmer discussions) 3) give reason why/why not one side would win. ex: limited stormlight, higher durability, better healing
  25. Big Important Disclaimer: This is not some kind of callout post of Brandon being lazy or uncreative. I don't think many people would assume that, but just to dispel any potential arguing in the replies, that is not what this is. This is a list of some fun observed similarities/comparisons between The Legend of Zelda series, Star Wars, and Stormlight Archives. Okay, big important disclaimer aside, welcome! As I said, this is just going to be a list of some of my favorite comparisons between these 3 series (seri? What is the plural of series?) and some of the commonalities they share. I'll start with my 2 favorite comparisons, and you can follow up with some of your own observations, if you'd like. Comparison 1: Nightblood is the Master Sword and the Darksaber. Starting off with the thing that a few people have probably already noticed and was the inspiration for this entire post, everyone's favorite sword-nimi can be easily compared to both the Master Sword from Zelda (Aka "The blade of Evil's Bane"), and Star Wars' Darksaber. All 3 are mysterious, special, powerful, one-of-a-kind swords in their respective IPs, and Nightblood has characteristics of both. The Darksaber similarities are mostly visual, though the idea of having to attune/bond to one to properly wield it does apply to both. Nightblood's consciousness/personality could additionally be compared to Fi (fee?), who is arguably the Spren of the Master Sword (and to be honest, you could compare Syl to Fi as well). Comparison 2: Odium/Honor/Cultivation mirror the pieces of the Triforce and the 3 main colors/alignments of Lightsabers. This one is REALLY founded on visuals, as opposed to Nightblood having some mechanical similarities to his comparisons. To be honest, this is pretty explainable as a coincidence due to simple color theory and human eye anatomy; RGB LEDs are all you need to make a human see a full range of colors, so it makes sense that for 3 distinct members of a set, you'd use those 3 colors. The nuance is where it gets interesting though. For the most part, Odium's connection to red is through corrupted investiture, which perfectly fits how red lightsabers work in modern Star Wars canon, being corrupted by the Dark Side of the Force and made to bleed, turning them red. The Zelda comparison is how Demise's Malice corrupts that which it touches, and gave rise to Ganon/Ganondorf, the holder of the Triforce of Power. So what other comparisons have you guys noticed besides these (admittedly, fairly broad) similarities?
