Tournament: Cosmere Character Roast Battles


Recommended Posts

Sorry for the extremely long wait, everyone. IRL stuff got really busy... 

But, without further ado, the CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND! 

Let’s introduce our competitors... 

@Herowannabe is our favorite Hemalrugic being, but claims to be more of a person than you’ll ever be... HUMAN THE KOLOSS! 

@hoiditthroughthegrapevine is definitely prepared for this battle — in fact, there’s probably a list... STERIS HARMS! 

I am so looking forward to seeing this battle play out. Good luck to both of you!

Ahhhh yeah, Roastin' time.

Sorry Human, but Steris has the broiler on high, looks like Roasted Koloss is coming up:

Spoiler

For you, Human, I shall speak slowly and ennuciate
Because you're exactly the kind of mean dunce that I hate.

Resorting first to violence, unless they are bigger or stronger
You're a dimwitted bully—a bloodthirsty war-monger

You're root problem is quite specific, I've attached a visual aid,
as you can clearly see Human, you'll never make the grade.

Spoiler

PyramidOfFeeble-mindeness.jpg.1bd4ef981d64378152eddf0b17f7344e.jpg

Though on the Pyramid of Feeble Mindedness you're somewhere near the tops
Being a low functioning moron's not enough to get you props

I can appreciate that you're goal oriented, but let's talk about your plan
Committing genocide and stealing would make you a very BAD human.

I can see the carnival barker now, saying "Step right up, take a look!"
"As History's biggest monster struggles to read a book"

"I found him in a leveled city, on a setteee sipping tea"
"I said 'You're quite clever chappy, but you'll be most happy if you leave and come with me'"

"He said his name was Human the Koloss,
but for clever names, I'm never at a Loss"

"I've dubbed him Baby Blue Hitler, because though mentally he's quite young
His lack of cogitation doesn't excuse the evil that he's done"

"So see now as the blue skinned dullard recites bad poetry to the Skaa,
but if you ask for your boxings back, I'll have to tell you 'Nah'"

So there's the only future for you Human, though it pains me so to speak,
that you'd only fit in the human world as a side-show circus freak.

Can I just say too, that physically you're nauseating (sick)
With your blue skin and bloody wounds that are always suppurating (ick)

When you betrayed your people and revealed the secret of Koloss procreation
You also showed that the whole "big sword" thing is really just compensating.

Stick a fork in human, I gotta run, he's roasted up good, I think he's done.

Changed Human's circus name from Baby Hitler, to Baby Blue Hitler. Much better.

Not bad, @hoiditthroughthegrapevine, not bad, 

but now, give it up for HUUUUUUUUUMAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!

Spoiler

Ladrian Manor rumbles and begins to shake

The windows rattle and the foundations quake

As a massive fist breaks down the door

And Human bursts in and starts to roar:

-nK9BZ9gJMjb3hx0lvbMtDQKaI85kwpJqoVJVbihT6L0ekS0f7ybizUiybqjDx2eZMFUzzyjp8q7j7LVb-a-9bqECTpnJh7GtP9pknExLS7pY7b_TW7NbJ81EItguEryWkfTza46

Where is the wimpy puny girl

I come to smash like little squirrel!?

She likes to hide while friends do work

They don’t like her, they say she’s jerk!

NJyUkC1HqeYMiMOdHemWDT0WDozEefmxHrTSRJxzjUC5C4PvqdOY7bERwEomz9Ygq8xkcQuYi905ZqjClYJ1zInwwgbYgQYWuq5Kq_zH88w6-1eupdhQN71d3eonvl-xa2zGWlOT

She’s only good at making lists

She can’t fight or hit with fists

I never hide or run from men

My usefulness is ‘hundred ten!

yOKhIMAvUZa5iZm35w8-5861fdv-JW8wjgjlpVU1wi66BDiI7Q9DdJ_XOmz8iIyg0iqF30C0B0lRCzsxWVfGcWwbA12mvNaNllxSmD51EA3iHEKJ8tPTsIr3ESOsov5sLWMtXvuY

So come out and accept your doom

Or I demolish every room

Until I find your hidey place

And put my fist right through your face!

Human lifts his massive Koloss blade

And begins to smash the colonnade

With solemn grace Steris at last arrives

And the Koloss stills as he meets her eyes

 

He begins to gawk and his rage decreases

His sword lowers and his thrashing ceases

He starts to quiver and his knees go weak

He gulps and stammers as he starts to speak:

 

Who is this who stands before me

And makes my chest flutter warmly?

It can’t be you I’ve come to kill

Your pretty face gives my heart thrill

mRdYijrohFAL6oClITxcowQ8BU4ql6qMzTd_zYv1zmeuVm3-jFyLMaMhGtHiZHzCu3PFmexXbem7uUTAQKlRKa6kCCsPrwksGXyu16syDCKFBABlAaE3EzWQaIDVx6xWtSp43EX6

Your stern glance and frowning features

Makes me wish I handsome creature

I’d sweep you up off of your feet

Your husband Wax could not compete

7AcyC4EKdwJ7yT9YfOT8Ew8yy7C16m7-N70uVR-Mtb5Zn5PlXZKlqf0I9hnOM_SAjp1yqI9pVcukIGj0k2QBfX3FFzB4W0FtPSuQzAmBSjIjPD38KjxbI41g7eJdr2Ji4dYwB2jf

So what he flies you through the skies

Just cast your eyes on my big size

I would be a much finer man

And guard you better than he can

cf_vkHVZth0Aaa3t5TmVYGQwtRIRFnUJr-cqC339-lUXE9TVVCX1LCx3emnA0ehE_iBMFFdmXalBwzT2ASExvsuderY2NDZztCgBCdwLsE1EcAtei3NcktZw080ADNvVj1lEcRap

If anyone tried bother you

I’d chop them up and make a stew

Serve it up in fancy dishes

And then you’d give me lots of kisses

BVBEkzliux41vLM0gobQ-JKUPKJWt810PH9mKpbSJRZBZbt_cwvXTonrMFLHmLLOH468VbDdy4H4sC24uvbbpjXsVHvdupicyvfgy4kl7TkyTLM57cdZaGJvIzdya-vD2et1aED8

And you could sit and list the ways

That my bigness makes you amazed

We would go on grand adventures

And I’d find you heaps of treasures

zgnykgzYAVRjDxtYrYTef-kSu8bOnP0dzNtYJVvHLAZeDTPD-N7KaVTBAkT8BuAeo4EY0RIQAhju9bSLLMMmoOGNPKaWRQaPd3fjY-TS0F8gNmwESVRs7_yT2pMfUpGLko2kUrat

I would take you on fancy dates

Then we’d go back to your estates

And stay awake all the night long

And I would sing you rapping songs

t0pLcAWcMfWevqlWnDkqr9fGsIl6TBlyWIuhzhTGpkDEd5kfqfe-WHOF6oaHIm54g2qbkuO_xSFI1ntSbXnqYgVbt9kY9TJ47OIupZYRZqLblVHwvzYaUwNEbSXYxxK8TtzZiMGD

Then when the sun dispelled the mists

I’d kneel down and open fist

And there you’d see a wedding ring

Yeah I would give you anything

dg4fKC7b0Io0_fN2q1KS6QW_R8q66MExcilSRnP2kBakissqUeyM1gHAdiQeTvLWtB3sHAOp7qMjNRU3w4Tz4koYrFTI9lnJYpGYVhhInS2VKunTbSAwRqCDPF0i-cEVpfxBWjt3

And once you were my blushing bride

I would take you to meet my tribe

Other Koloss sure to like you

They’d be glad to take and spike you

dofW_YVZ4hHa5xDQqHVLd3AKKLL90mK0_Cot7LILpBJjnfBRiiOZkaE3FB1wFsmvjqoDhB326saTPf2aNGkbnR1PWfvmxutMdG6Gl5b-UNz8UMRU1wJdZGgC0wQh1hNWBEfaH4YJ

Then you’d be my Koloss queen

The prettiest thing I’ve ever seen

Proper and neat yet big and tough

Together we would rule the Roughs

A thousand foes have tried to best me

But not one could e’er contest me

It will be said last but not least

It was Beauty that slayed the Beast

I took a little bit of a different track with this one, I hope no one minds. ;) Human has been fun to represent, but I feel like I've exhausted all the Koloss jokes I can come up with, and to be honest I'm looking forward to trying out some other characters. So with that, if @Ashspren approves, I'd actually like to concede the match to @hoiditthroughthegrapevine (his rap was better anyway) ;) Well fought!

If you insist conceding the match, I won’t stop you. The rap was great, though, and the emoticons were amazing. 

So, with that... the winner of Tournament 3 is @hoiditthroughthegrapevine, with Steris Harms! Congratulations! Your raps were amazing, and I could really feel Steris come through in each of them. 

~~~ 

If you want to sign up for Tournament 4, now is the time to do it! Please post which character you want to do, and I’ll put you in. Cosmere characters only, please, and the following characters are not allowed: Spook, Allomancer Jak, Steris Harms.

@hoiditthroughthegrapevine Congratulations! Your rap was great and really fitting for Steris!

@Herowannabe I loved the way you told a story with your rap. And I have to admit, I'm glad that I don't have to choose between the two entries! That choice would have been close to impossible!

 

@Ashspren If you'll let me participate a fourth time I'd be glad, but I can understand, if not. If possible, I would like to be Breeze.

Yours was amazing!!! I really love the direction you  took your rap this round, it was a really sweet and touching story, and you never broke meter. I think your rap was better and that love struck Human emoji is ADORABLE!! I would have voted for yours this time becaus it was so good, but I can see how writing for Human is a bit of one note symphony, but given the constraint you took it to a whole new level. Really good stuff hero!

Thanks Sorana! I think hero's was better, but nice to hear anyways.

Thanks again for setting this up @Ashspren, I still think this is the funnest thing going on the shard.

Thanks to everyone who has signed up so far! We are looking for 7 more people, so let your friends, fellow role-players, and other Sharders know! If we do not have 16 by the end of the week, I will start the tournament regardless, as long as we have 12 competitors. 

Additionally, the Roast Archive has been updated to Tournament Three! If you have some friends that are reading through the Cosmere right now, I definitely recommend showing them some of your favorite roasts –– I've done that with some of my Sanderfan converts (the person known as "them," if you've read You Know You're A Sanderfan Part 2), and they had a blast.

I'll sign up as...

Hmm... so far the champs have been all from Mistborn, and all the ones I've done were from Stormlight.

 

SHAI IT IS!

I definitly, 100% support that choice! Shai is a fantastic character!

 

@Rhapsody would you be interested to participate again?
