Darth Kholin Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 What would happen if Alcatraz and Bastille (along with any other Smedry/character) wound up on Roshar? I think Kaladin or Shallan would be entertained by/overcome with annoyance at Alcatraz. Bastille would probably be entertaining. Someone gets annoyed: Storming Bastille 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weltall Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 (edited) Alcatraz could perform the seemingly impossible and break Kaladin's perpetual gloominess. Aydee and Lift would probably become great friends, especially once the former starts using her Talent to miscount large quantities of food so Lift can become extra-Awesome. And Jasnah and Navani would probably be driven insane trying to make sense of Smedry Talents. Edited December 6, 2017 by Weltall 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Kholin Posted December 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 List of things Alcatraz would break: A shardblade Highstorms A chicken Wit's records (most people made fun of in a day, etc.) Jasnah and Navani's minds Adolin's patience A Shard Gravity (Kaladin would be real happy with him then) Need I go on? Bastille vs. Adolin would be interesting. Remember, she faced down gunfire. With a sword. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Am Witless Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 IknowthatAlcatrazisn'tCosmerebut.... Headcanon that Alcatraz versus the Evil Librarians is Hoid's ACTUAL backstory, and we've already been given Dragonsteel. Earth is Yolen, and Brandon Sanderson himself is Adonalsium, and will be destroyed by sixteen of the most powerful members on this website. Hoid is trying to put the author of the universe back together so that he can make more stories. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quickbronze Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 I have a theory that says the Cosmere is to Alcatraz what Alcatraz is to us Aka, the cosmere is a book within a book. Obviously, Brandon Sanderson exists in-universe, otherwise Alcatraz wouldn't have impersonated him, and the in-universe Brandon does write fantasy novels; mistborn and elantris at least. Then again, maybe this is simply more fourth wall breaking; either way, Alcatraz could enter the Cosmere by breaking the fourth wall; downward if my theory is correct, sideways if not. (The first is the equivalent of you entering a book, the second the equivalent of you entering a parallel universe) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So going with the thread of interesting battles who else would try to fight each other with interesting results? I would personally like to see what would happen in a fight between Jasnah and Grandpa Smedry 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edgedancer_of_spirits Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Um, would shardplate interfere with his talent?

Well, if that's true, then we can throw Brandon's words out the window and start theorizing. *scratches head* 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlstrawberrySeed Posted June 7, 2023 Report Share Posted June 7, 2023 On 10/21/2020 at 2:02 PM, Gak said: talents are not investure, so it could work Are we sure? Their described as "Energy coming off your soul set to a specific tune." Based off of RoW tone shenanagins, and the fact that souls are investiture, it sounds like their talents are just investiture effected by the specific tone they have. Oculatory glass works the same way, using a different tone to change the function. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
