What command would you give nightblood

[High prince of geeks Silent Gatherer]

Okay, you have a sword identical to night blood, and the breaths and heightening's to awaken it. Keeping in mind that it has to be a fairly simple idea, and with the idea the sword would go out into the wild after you gave it it's command, what command would you give it.

 

Mine would be protect the innocent

[shawnhargreaves Son of Honor]

"Obey me".

 

He doesn't have enough understanding to properly apply commands that require judgement, so I would keep responsibility for all decision making myself.

[Haradion Drogon Arbiter]

"Be A Stick"

 

Alternatively

 

"Go Forth and Multiply"

[Glaring at the Survivor House Lord]

Nobody is perfectly innocent...

[Baine Envisager]

"Be a Sword."

 

or, alternatively, "Don't be a sword."

 

What happens when Nightbloods get identity crises?

[Kobold King God Beyond]

"Go Forth and Multiply"

 

I felt a chill upon reading this.

[A Joe in the Bush Worldhopper]

Turn Invisible

or

Be Unseen

[Terisen Misting]

Make me a sandwich.

[Swimmingly Knight Radiant]

Cure Injuries - power Divine-breath style healing with normal Breath?

[Khyrindor Enefel]

Spike them.

[Mailliw73 Dawnshard]

Never kill.

Or Kill. Depends on my mood.

[High prince of geeks Silent Gatherer]

The reason I chose "Protect the Innocent" is because even though the sword may not know what innocent was, the person who used it would. That way the sword would be unwilling to help hurt people if the user didn't think that he was somehow protecting the innocent.

And then a paranoid schizophrenic gets the blade.

[Ashiok Ghostblood]

Kill those I, [myname] tell you to.

[Shadowspren Oldblood]

That's kinda hard because the blade doesn't really know how to define things such as 'evil' and 'innocent'.

And if you used High Imperial to awaken it... would it work?

Wanting the killing of the evil

If it did work, would the sword only speak in high imperial?

[Swimmingly Knight Radiant]

OK, I've said this before, but why a sword? Why not a trowel - Reveal Secrets - or even something you can wear - Protect Wearers.

[A Joe in the Bush Worldhopper]

Awaken a Fish with the Command, "Make posts and Get Rep."

[Swimmingly Knight Radiant]

I'm pretty sure that would be a Lifeless. Just saying.

[A Joe in the Bush Worldhopper]

One of those Singing Fish then. The Fake ones.

[Fatebreaker Most Ancient]

Defeat my foes.

[Fatebreaker Most Ancient]

Or: Make puns during battle

 

this is a surefire way to defeat your enemy.

[Swimmingly Knight Radiant]

Become my mind and do as I would

[High prince of geeks Silent Gatherer]

Another  command I might give it would be. "Defeat nightblood"

[Terisen Misting]

So you'd turn him into a sword version of Spider-Man?  I like it.

Yup, and I'd pair him with a lifeless that was given the command: Tap Dance!
