Phooey, I don't know if I'm up for this. I mean, I have some writing skill, but not on a make-an-epic-roast-rap-in-under-48-hours level.

Though at the same time, the dumb and daring part of my brain is willing to give it a try...

Eh, even if you suck at it (like me) it's fun. Especially when you get rekt by someone else and have to retaliate.

Well, this would be my first rap battle as well. Might as well start with the best, I guess. B)

'Cause no gancho or naco can tangle with the likes of the one-and-only The Lopen.

Just do what I do and put it off until late in the evening and then hurry and write out a rap before bed, except that you want it to be really good so you keep working on it and tweaking it and adding things over the next several hours until before you know it it's 3am and you're brain is so fuzzy that you can't think clearly enough to rhyme any more and so you finally give up and hit the "submit" button. 

On second thought, don't do what I do... :unsure:

That’s dedication, but I think that @hoiditthroughthegrapevine wins this one. :P

 

Three more people! Tag/PM/Tell your friends or other users who you think would be interested!

I think with Cosmere character roasts everybody wins ;).

I've been off the shard for a bit (work, sheesh), but freaking awesome final roast @Archer and nice one too @Edgedancer Jak, pretty close on that one, but again the annotations were brilliant.

Funny thing is, I was checking on the shard to look at information for the Skyward book tour, and I was shocked to see that I was "Hoid Can't Compete":

Freaking awesome, even though after some internet research, I'm still not entirely sure what that means.

I would sign up for the next round as Steris, I know I was just in the last round but I think the Universe could use more Steris-lization...

I've decided to start the tournament off with 15 people – don't worry, everything will work out the same as it usually does. In fact, in this case, this works out really well... 


To kick off Tournament 3, our first three competitors are the Hemalurgic Trio...

@Herowannabe, with Human the Koloss!

@Inklingspren, with TenSoon!

@Sorana, with Marsh!

LET TOURNAMENT 3 OF THE ROAST BATTLES... BEGIN!

Quick question/suggestion: With 15 players, I'm assuming 3 rounds with 4 contestants and 1 round with 3 contestants. Wouldn't it be better to save the grouping of 3 players until the last round? That way if you have any latecomers you can round it out to an even 4 players/round. Or are you planning 5 rounds of 3 players each?

Regardless, I suppose I better get started on my raps... ;)

If you do this again, that's a good suggestion. Not like all three of us want to procrastinate... :ph34r:

Good luck you too!

Thanks and good luck to you, too!

 

Beware the unbelievable Mistborn Edition of the Cosmere Characters Roast Battles will start soon!

*starts thinking*

=========

EDIT

Here's my entry. I'm not completely satisfied, but I'm on my way to the airport and it's that or nothing.

As usual I'd like to thank  @Ashsprenfor organizing this. And for letting me participate in every Battle so far ;)

@Herowannabe and  @Inklingspren  I really look forward to read what you thought about!

Spoilered because of MB spoilers (no surprise here :D)

Spoiler

Dedication

 

All welcome the mighty koloss,

Ready to follow your new boss?

Oh, you still pretend to be human?

It's all right, I'll leave you dreaming.

Wake up! You're jailed,

You're rebellion has failed!

And thank to your spike,

I can control you as long as I like!

 

TenSoon our little Kandra,

looking for some bones, I wonder?

No need to be hesistant,

Fresh from the graveyrad - a present!

In return let me pluck out your spikes,

Untill you're jellyfish-like.

No need to fight, or even a war

I'll put your glibbering mass into a jar.

 

I am a steel Inquisitor, or rather

My name is Marsh - Kelsier's brother

Inflotrating the ministry is a risky deed,

Which I pulled off for his plans to succeed

Where other rebellions failed so far,

Ours succeeded in a beautiful war

I'll never stop fighting for what I believe in,

And since I'm immortal -

I'm sure that I'll win!

Alright, my turn. It's far from my best work, I had more homework than I thought last night so I wrote this right before going to bed.

MB spoilers

Spoiler

Spikes have we three, it's easy to see.

The diff'rence 'tween us is I'm more than free

I'm a kandra, a Faceless immortal

You wanna fight me? You make me chortle.

I've lived for ages, seen kings come and go.

You're both young, its beginning to show.

I'll live forever, but death (not Marsh) comes for you

Nuff about me, cause I'm more than goo.

 

Marshmallow, "Death" "the last Inquisitor"

Man, your tasks and lines are such a bore

You have a lot of spikes, that's one thing for sure

Too bad you don't have mental ones, you could use four

You are Death? Ha, i see through your deception.

You've got flaws, while I'm pure perfection

Spiking you, they needed a cross-section.

You stood still, being buried by ash

While there were villains out there, villains like Moash.

I'm through with you, marshy mc swampface

On to someone even less than your pace.

 

Human, koloss-man, you're anything but.

Want to be one, but don't have the gut.

Smarter than most 'loss, though not by much

You lose your will at the slightest (allomantic) touch.

Kill and kill is all you do

You really should be in a zoo.

Animals like you, weak as a mouse.

Its easy for me to bring down a Great House.

You made a friend, oh that's nice. 

Too bad she likes me, and I don't have lice

Both machines of war, though I'm more useful

To match your strength, your words have no pull

All this rapping seems to have extracted a toll

I'll still be here, when eras have passed

You, my friend, are a thing of the past.

 

Creatures of Ruin, though not all of ruin.

Failing your jobs, you seem to be doin'

I work hard, a servant of Sazed

While you from his gaze have fled.

I'm TenSoon, kandra extrodinare.

Coming out with lots of kandra flair.

The perfect spy, assassin, or infiltration

Stories 'bout me are told across the nation.

Eat your bones and I become you.

It's no wonder I'll win against you two.

 

You guys did great @Herowannabe and @Sorana! May the best rap win.

I was reading your rap while waiting for the boarding to begin, and half the people turned their heads when I started laughing out loud at the "Marshmallow". It's hillarious! Great job!

:D

1337 becomes "Leet" which is short for elite. 

'So elite Hoid can't compete.'

UGHHHHHHHH THIS IS A REALLY HARD CHOICE
