AonEne Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 In accordance with the Shard's RP spoiler policy, this thread contains Rhythm of War spoilers. Read at your own risk. Inspiration for the RP~ We have a short prequel currently in its climax, The Knights Next Prequel! We also have a Discord server, come join us! If both sets of orders are filled and you still want to join, don't worry! You can also roleplay with a character who isn't a Knight Radiant. We'd love to write with you. (Depending on how many roleplayers join us for the sequel, a third set of Radiants may be opened up.) FIRST SET OF ORDERS: Skybreaker is free!

Personality: Avoids public speaking at all costs, that person in the background reading fantasy books during class, loves fencing, books, and singing randomly, but is very self-conscious about herself, not confident, funny and willing to pitch in when surrounded by people who like her, not very active in everything. Quirks: Hates every time someone uses the wrong version of a word, like, Your, their, and its. Loves using the words Snazzy, and confuzzled, and will use them on every occasion.

Skybreaker ~ Dustbringer ~ Sorana Spoiler Name: Shana Spren: Mahad Physical Characteristics: strawberry blonde hair, slim figured but muscular, average sized, grey eyes Age: 15 Radiant status: 1st ideal Dustbringer Equipment: Bag with useful things like a lighter, a short piece of rope, something to eat, some hand care, ... Weakness: scared of water/ drowning Character: resolute, changes ideas quickly, loyal, protective Backstory: Lost her parents during a flood at the age of seven and bonded her spren afterwards. Can barely remember what happened, but her uncle took her in, before she moved over to the school. At the moment she lives there and occasionally visits her uncle. Shana likes to do sport or train and spends a lot of time outside. If possible she starts her day with some yoga, and ends it with some running or martial arts. Fighting Style: trains martial arts as a hobby, prefered weapon is a two bladed staff Edgedancer ~ Sherlock Holmes Spoiler Name: Axl Berhaert (formerly Emily Locking) Nationality: Half mutt-Caucasian, half Native American Appearance: Male. Eighteen years old. Five feet ten inches tall. Wide, muscled build. Tan skin spotted with paler spots, mainly on his arms. Round, sharp-chinned face. Short, messy straight black hair. Dark brown eyes. Investiture: Second-Ideal Edgedancer (spren’s name is Shamrock). Strengths: Capable fist-fighter. Good at drawing. Very skilled in rock- and wall-climbing. Can call Jason to come and help him out in fights. Good at using both of his Surges. Weaknesses: Has an eating disorder that makes him think that he should eat much less than is healthy, though Shamrock and Jason will usually force him to eat. Is very burnt-out in his mind, and he won’t let anybody know. Backstory: Emily was born on the Apsaalooke Crow Indian Reservation in Montana to her Caucasian mother (whom she received her former last name from) and Native American father. She grew up in a trailer home until she was four, when her father was shot and killed by another of the reservation residents. Her mother committed suicide shortly after, and she was moved to live with her father’s sister and three children. She lived there until she was ten, when she announced that she was transgender. No one accepted him for this, and he broke, bonding a Cultivationspren he named ‘Shamrock’ in the hopes that it would bring him luck. After two months of refusing to renounce his claim, he was brought to the interstate nearest to the edge of the reservation. He managed to hitchhike around, eventually ending up in Seattle, where the last people to give him a lift, a middle-aged couple, adopted him. They accepted him for his sexuality, and he renamed himself ‘Axl’, since his new parents were German and he liked the sound of it. When he was twelve, his Spiritual Aspect changed dramatically in a moment, and he became male. He had problems through the following three years of his life, such as not exercising and feeling abandoned and unwanted, until he met Jason, who lifted him out of that rut on accident and set him on a better path. Ax started dating Jason as he got healthier and improved his grades. He swore the second Ideal shortly after he and Jason started dating. For two (and a half thousand years, (the Ring passed out of all knowledge) the Rangers of Gondor stood watch) years, his health and grades continued to improve, and he kept dating Jason. He is now muscular, which has put him in the belief that he has to eat much less than he should to maintain himself, and has flawless grades, though his time for himself has depleted much because of how much he studies. Truthwatcher ~ Lunamor Spoiler Benjamin “Ben” Carter Age: 16 Spren: Glint Appearance: Very dirty blonde hair that seems to be perpetually messy, eyes that are blue/grey/green/purple/yellow (they change colors frequently), 5’11, skinny, wears t-shirts and jeans Personality: Very shy. He typically only has long conversations with Glint. He is considered to be a rather weird person. He likes to read very much and dislikes anything related to the outdoors or sports. He is very smart and always gets straight As. His favorite subjects are math and science. Radiant Status: 3rd ideal Truthwatcher, shardblade Background: Ben has always been a rather strange kid, and it has been hard for him to make any friends. He used to have a best friend named John, but he died in a car crash when they were both about 12 and he was traumatized by the experience. This cracked his spirit web enough for him to develop a bond with Glint. Random Stuff: He used to have glasses, but broke them too often and now just wears contacts. He still occasionally tries to adjust his nonexistent glasses. His favorite genres are fantasy and sci-fi. He will not touch any books based on true events. Abilities: Works surprisingly well under pressure. Very creative and smart.

PRO: Optimist Elsecaller ~ HoidWasTaken Spoiler Name: Luke Conquest Investiture: Pre 1st Oath Elsecaller Spren: Silk (Inkspren) Personality: Luke is very introverted, but if you ever get into an argument with him he has a very difficult time dropping it, or admitting to losing it. He always claims it is cold, and is constantly wearing a brown jacket as if to prove a point. Description: Luke generally wears muted colors, nothing neon or anything like that. It is generally sweatpants or jeans, never shorts unless he is swimming. He is generally wearing a brown jacket. Backstory: Luke’s mother was out of the picture for most of his life. In his early childhood, everyone he tried to befriend eventually ended up moving away, so he just stopped trying. Why try to make friends if they will just leave in the end? Luke was bullied by others for most of the earlier grades, but eventually they just left him alone. Luke was fine with that. So Luke turned his attention mostly to his studies. He has gotten a full 4.0 GPA For most of his school career, and has no plans of breaking his streak. Most of his father’s time was spent at his work in Seattle University. It got even worse when Luke came out as an atheist, whose father ran a Jesuit University. Recently, Luke had seen a shadowy figure lurking around him multiple times, out of the corner of his eye. Luke was sure he was mad when it started talking to him.

Struggles with depression and anxiety, feeling that she's a burden and can never do enough to repay Doc (who she calls Uncle James or just James, refusing the title) for adopting her. Unable to decide on what she wants as a career, scared she won't make it out in the world but hides it, looking at colleges but hasn't applied yet.

Practices Cohesion sometimes. Cannot use Transportation. Okay relationship with spren. History: Cassie used to live in Utah with her mothers (she was adopted) and dog (golden retriever named Caramel) when one of her moms died in an alleyway mugging. The other became an alcoholic out of grief, DUIed into a tree while taking Caramel to the vet a few months later, and left Cassie to gain a phobia of dark alleys and a hatred of alcohol and go into the foster care system at thirteen. She had good and bad experiences there, but her high point was when Doc found and adopted her. They consider each other in a niece-uncle relationship and get along fairly well.

Spoiler Name: Robert “Rob” Robertson Age: 16 Spren: Cup, a fragile and gentle spren that whispers softly to Rob. Appearance: Compact and stocky. He’s tall, and kind of looks like a brick wall. Not extremely muscular or skinny, just solid. Dark brown eyes, dark brown hair, light brown skin. Commonly wears a simple shirt and trousers. Sometimes he’ll be all posh and slip on a premade boe-tie. Physical: Quite strong, and has a very high endurance and stamina. He feels pain, but most often doesn’t show it on his face until it gets incredibly serious. He’s more talented in his stability than strength, though. Good at wrestling. Personality: Very blunt and forward. He’s extremely contemplative and is silent most of the time in his contemplation,but is not afraid of social interactions. He’s pretty much neutral towards anything, and any bias is hidden under his rock solid demeanour. Sometimes he doesn’t know how to handle incredibly emotional situations, but he tries his best. Isn’t very good with the emotional stuff, but if you try hard enough and break through all of his hard demeanour there might be something soft inside. Very very rarely smiles, but that doesn’t mean he frowns. He’s just neutral. Doesn’t hate his father or anything. Radiant Status: 2nd Ideal Stoneward Background: Rob grew up raised only by his father, who was very adamant on behaviours and stereotypes such as boys don’t cry, show emotion etc. and was pressured into that way by also being homeschooled by his father. Overtime he grew older, and got to talk to people, and one day in a particularly stressful environment he just snapped and let all of the bottled up emotion over years flow out of him, the experience made him Bond his spren and since then he’s stayed completely stone-faced, almost like he used up all his emotion on that day. He never talks about this. Random Stuff: Incredibly stubborn, to insane measures. Has an unchallenged poker face. He doesn’t do much for entertainment except think, though he sometimes likes to read non-fiction books for information. And if he’s pushed, he’s got a lot of random trivia. Has a soft spot for cats which he will hide from everyone. He has a sketchbook which he draws in secretly, the drawings are actually pretty good but he’ll kill anyone who gets ahold of them. Fighting Style: Prefers not to fight. He’s like Ham in some ways, in that he likes to talk and will usually talk to the enemy as they try to punch him. Dodge is not in his vocabulary, but he can take a lot of hits, and usually waits until the enemy tries themselves out before attacking. Bondsmith ~ Dr. Dapper Spoiler Name: James Deoven (goes by Doc) Age: 29 Order: Bondsmith Spren: Stormfather, third Ideal. Abilities: Fairly adept at using his Surges. Very good at engineering (he has a doctorate and several Masters degrees in various disciplines of engineering) Good at reading a situation and reacting to it. Has a lot of general knowledge. Pretty good in a fight. Appearance: An average hight guy (some may say he's on the short side) with a brawny frame and strong face. Yellow eyed, with a bold nose and smooth jawline often dusted with stubble. He keeps his red and gold hair in a neat tail at the base of his neck when he remembers to.

He ended up on the streets for a few years, living a hard life, broken by his experience. Managed to get back on his feet after hearing a voice grumbling at him, telling him to 'Unite Them'. He ended up swearing the First Ideal a few weeks later and has been looking for other Radiants since. SECOND SET OF ORDERS: Truthwatcher and Edgedancer are free!

They were orphaned at a young age due to the Voidbringers. Draug protected his younger siblings as they grew up on the streets. Unfortunately, he was unsuccessful; one after another, his siblings died. This failure to protect his family is what drove him to become Radiant. He’s been traveling alone since he was 12, getting help and instruction from random people he met along the way. He’s arrived in Seattle recently, hoping to find others like him. Skybreaker ~ Emi Spoiler Name: Sara Age/gender: Female/15 Appearance: brown wavy hair, gray eyes, 170cm height, slim Personality: She is an extrovert, generally nice, but sometimes too impulsive. However, she don't like to lead the group, she prefer when somebody is telling her what she need to do Then it's easier to blame the leader Radiant Status: First Ideal Skybreaker History: She was born in New York, on the outskirts of Manhattan. Most of life she spent in small apartament, which Sara disiked. Her dream always was to live in a countryside, or somewhere, where she could have a yard and a Samoyed dog. Unfortunately her mother was allergic to dogs, so Sara wasn't abe to get herself one. Although, she was happy whith her life, she had great friends and not bad marks at school. The problems started all at the same time. when she reached 14, she saw for the first time a spren. He looked like a back hole and introduced himself as Argoh. Soon Sara started to get used to him. The big problem was than others couldn't see him. At school a lot of people named her crazy and she was forced to talk whith psychologist. Also in the same time her father got a bad disease. Unfortunatey he was the only one working, Saras mother tried to earn some money, but it wasn't really succesull. And so, the family moved to Seattle to Saras grandma.

Almost always wears a blue cap over her head, with a matching jacket or sweater. Wears a grey, dotted mini-skirt, and light grey tights, with blue sneakers. Personality: Surprisingly enough for a Lightweaver, she acts quite outgoing and friendly, often going out of her way to strike up friendly conversations or keep the tone light- Although truthfully this is mostly because she is terrified of being disregarded or hated again, and acts this way so she won’t drag people down by being anything other than optimistic and happy, in an effort to keep people around. History: Lissa grew up in a very harsh family, and although she managed to avoid the worst of her parent’s ire, they always regarded her with disdain, especially after certain events. When she manifested her powers, her parents called her a freak and tried to force her to break her bond with Fib. Eventually, Lissa left, unable to take the abuse anymore, and let Fib guide her to wherever she was going. Elsecaller ~ BookishOcelot Spoiler Name: Leona Westfall Appearance: 5’6” with medium build (150) , low muscle content. Black hair to just above her stomach. Dark hazel eyes and paleish skin.

Likes to wear t-shirts and jeans in generally dark tones. Background: He grew up in a normal family. Has a little trouble understanding other people but this has seldom been a real problem. He left his home to study at a high school in a different state, though more to see a new city than anything else. Once, going back to the dorm, he was robbed but he defended himself without knowing how but it left the street a bit messy. That night he started seeing Twinkle. Personality: Loves music, video games, and going out just for the sake of going out. Can jump from subject to subject without warning making it difficult to speak with him. He doesn't particularly like rules. Has a bit of a complex as he feels he didn't earn his radiancy compared to the others. Stoneward ~ Channelknight Fadran Spoiler Name: Fadran Brownshore Order: Stoneward. Tension: Can affect the stiffness of an object Cohesion: Can alter the physical shape of something. Fadran, though, would obviously never use this for evil. Personality: Fadran has a bad habit of getting himself in sticky situations for seemingly no reason. Because of all the danger he goes into to get things, he’s incredibly attuned to each and every item he has. One could say that he’s attuned to their Identity, seeing the pencil he stole from the principal’s office as more than just another No. 2 Pencil, and more as a spoil of war taken straight from the realm where the Principal resides. He sells his items at a price that he feels the item deserves, often making seemingly commonplace and mundane items incredibly expensive. Fadran also collects peoples’ names, saying that you can find out a lot about people based off of what their name is. He’s also in love with his fedora. DON’T touch his fedora, or he will kill you. Spren: A salty Stonespren named Avelyn. Background: Fadran’s parents didn’t die protecting him. He wasn’t tortured as a child or toughened by the tides of war. He’s a freaking normal dude. Seems like the kind of guy you’d run into at a barbecue and forget afterwards. He had some friends, some enemies. Your average dude. ‘Cept the surgebinding. That bit’s a little weird. Bondsmith ~ Wyndlerunner Spoiler Character Name: James Freeman Order: Bondsmith Spren: The Nightwatcher Age: 18 Hair color: Red Eye Color: Blue Description: James is 18 years old, with flame-red hair which curls to his neck, and light blue eyes, and glasses. He is slight of build, and a medium height. As a newly fledged Radiant of the 2nd Ideal, he is still somewhat unsure of his new role in the world. A shy and at times aloof outward appearance belies a sympathetic, geeky, and joking interior that shows around those he’s close to. A true introvert, he is generally uncomfortable with crowds, but give him a small group, and he’s almost a new person. He dislikes conflict, so has taken a role as a mediator: his insistence on looking at things from both sides has led to quite a bit of indecision on his part, and an inability to declare one side right. He is uncomfortable with leadership roles, and can be often found bemoaning his role as a Bondsmith, an order focused on leadership. On the plus side, however, his habit of carrying on extended conversations with himself can now be attributed to his spren, which the Nightwatcher does not appreciate. Non-Radiant Characters: Sha-thoexis, Unmade Spoiler She feeds on thoughts and memories - specifically ones about Investiture, although she also consumes things as they are forgotten. Her intelligence is composed of all the thoughts, memories, and dreams that she has consumed. The Radiant bond resists her influence strongly. A bond to a dead Shardblade will also resist in the same fashion, but less effectively. An active user of Investiture - for example, a Metalborn burning, tapping, or storing - will resist her influence as well, although this protection only lasts for as long as the power is being used. She is able to get in more easily when you are dreaming, which is when you are the most vulnerable. If you are not prepared, you will almost certainly fall. Sha-thoexis often specifically targets those of other magic systems that wander into her area of effect. For almost all of them, she succeeds. When you fall to Sha-thoexis and your memories of Investiture are consumed, an layer of obfuscation is left behind to make sure you don’t remember anything. Holes in your memory are filled as best they can be and your sensitivity to magic is dulled. Whom Sha-thoexis affects and how much is dependent on three things*. 1. Amount of innate Investiture. Any magic user will have a baseline level of resistance, enough that they don't automatically fall if they are exposed (in most cases). A spren bond counts towards this category, though it has much more of an effect. 2. Amount of active Investiture. Sha-thoexis will generally try to stay away from active Investiture, so this applies to those who are in the surrounding area as well. 3. Physical location. Sha-thoexis is weaker in some areas and stronger in others. For the most part, this is constantly fluctuating, but there are some spots where she is just in general weaker. Seattle is one of those areas, which is why Radiants pop up more often there. If you've spent all or most of your life in the city, you almost certainly aren't going to have been affected. The occasional nightmare when her influence is strong, but nothing more. *There's also one more category that applies to just Radiants, which is how useful your spren is. Some are very good at defending; some do hardly anything. Dr. Dapper; Jamie, Twinborn Spoiler Name: Jamie Darton Age: 19 Investiture: Twinborn A-pewter, F-Chromium Skills: Expert with small arms and at hand to hand. Skilled with larger weapons. Knows when to use her abilities to her advantage. Personality: Cheerful in bad situations, a bit overly dramatic in others. She’s only recently come to know who she really is, and is still a tiny bit insecure. Appearance: A little taller than average, pretty muscular. She has dark red hair, green eyes, and a delicate face dusted with freckles. She wears a grey crop top sweatshirt with the Steel Alphabet glyph for pewter on it over a tight black tank top. She usually wears either sweats or leggings, both black, and a black beanie with the Feruchemical symbol for chromium on the front. Backstory: Born as the daughter to a Full Feruchemist and a gold Misting, she grew up learning all about the Metalic Arts. Once she Snapped into her powers at age 12, she was trained slowly by her parents and other Mistings and Ferings in the use of her powers. The power made her feel very insecure throughout most of highschool, until she made friends with another Misting at her high school, who introduced her to the New Worldbringers, a group of various Investiture users (mostly Metallic Arts) who know about the other kinds of Investiture. She has been working with a group investigating the Radiants in Seattle, and how to best contact them and make them aware of the New Worldbringers. xinoehp512; Thade, Enlightened Hope Spren; Evelyn, Elantrian Spoiler Name: Evelyn Reed Age: 15 Height: 5’ 7” Appearance: Long, slightly wavy, black hair. Is fairly thin and has pale skin. She usually keeps her eyes a light purple color. Always carries around a book-bag with several books, a notebook, and a pencil. Wears a necklace with a pendant shaped like a maple leaf. Personality: Evelyn is quiet and responsible. She reads a lot, and listens patiently. She loves learning and also Dungeons and Dragons (the vocal version as well). She is also very afraid of fire. Past: Evelyn became an Elantrian at age 13. She was trained by the other Elantrians, and learned fast. She uses the Aons to look the same way that she did before the Shaod. She was brought to Seattle to assist in setting up another place where the Elantrians could access the Dor. She was taken there by another Elantrian who vanished soon after the access point was created. Blessing of Potency; Ashlyn, unInvested human Tesh; Ayalin, Mistborn Spoiler Name: Ayalin Roberts (Many of her friends just call her Aya) Age/gender: 17 Appearance: Aya has long, slightly wavy, brown hair which she generally has up in a bun stuck through with several pencils. She has hazel eyes which will change colors occasionally. She's always in jeans, tennis shoes, and wearing either a sweatshirt or a flannel with a t-shirt beneath it. She isn't tall, but you can tell that she can throw a punch. Personality: She is relatively quiet, especially in classes she doesn't like, and around strangers. But when she's with people she's comfortable around, she tends to be more talkative. She is fairly good at reading people, and loves playing therapist, giving the best advice she can to people who are struggling and choose to trust her. She loves to read, write, and listen to her favorite movie soundtracks. She also has been involved in martial arts for a long time, and is nearing a full black belt. Investiture: Mistborn History: Aya lived in London, and grew up with parents who were never really there for her. They had a lot of money, but preferred to let their daughter do her own thing. So she spent a lot of time alone as a kid, reading and doing the sports and activities her parents signed her up for to keep her busy, although she only continued with martial arts and fencing. When she was fifteen, she got lost after going home from school using a route she had never gone before. She spent the night in an alley, refusing to call her parents. When she woke up, she saw a group of men approaching who proceeded to beat her and rob her. That morning she Snapped, and nearly killed one of the men with the enhanced strength of pewter. She called her parents on a payphone, and they sent someone to pick her up. For the next year, she practiced with her newfound abilities, slowly expanding her skill. When she finished her Sophomore year, her parents signed her up for an exchange program, and was to spend the next two years in Seattle. When she arrived, she found the couple to be much like her parents - often gone, rich, and never too worried about where she was. Which was fine by her. The_Archivist; Everest, Full Feruchemist Spoiler Name: Pi "Everest" Everest (the name exists, I looked it up) Physical characteristics: 14 year old male, 1.7m tall, brown hair and eyes, fit in a lean sort of way. Investiture: Full Feruchemist Strengths: Is a near perfect liar, good at baking and cooking. Weaknesses: Cannot tell when others are lying or being sarcastic at all, despite trying, is horrible at all types of art. Equipment: Metalminds, a knife with a steel shot in the hilt and one with a pewter shot which he uses as metalminds. Backstory: Two weeks after he discovered his powers, voidbringers killed his foster family and burned their house to the ground. He's been living on the street for half a year. During that time he experimented with his powers and fought off voidbringers. Random stuff: Is almost always tired and hungry, has night terrors, his first name is his greatest secret, when he curses he pronounces cursing symbols (like @&$#"!@$). Random Bystander; Lapis, sand master Spoiler Name: Lapis Salah Appearance: Long straight black hair, tan skin, dark brown eyes, tall, and skinny. Investure: She is a Sand Master. Personality: She is an impulsive optimist, who does what feels right in the moment without thinking about possible consequences. She is also very inquisitive. Backstory: She was born in North Africa, and showed potential for Sand Mastery at a young age. She left Africa with her parents at the age of 7 to move to America, her mother's homeland. They often went back to Africa to visit family. After she turned 11, they went on a trip. As they returned, the plane they were in crashed, and she barely survived. She ended up overmastering, and once she woke up she found herself in Washington. She has been on her own, traveling toward Seattle where her home is located for a few days, and just barely got into Seattle. Her powers are starting to return, much to her surprise. Unfortunately for her, she has a very bad sense of direction, and is now lost. From here on out, OOC conversation or discussion goes in quotes. I'll add rules and setting as needed. Setting/Worldbuilding: Give your character a name from Earth! This still gives you plenty of freedom, but try not to be obviously weird. If the name would make people look at your character funny after they introduce themselves, think of a new one. Our characters will be living in normal houses and attending a normal school. No boarding schools or homeschooling, though those circumstances can apply to their pasts. We all go to the same school. We live in Seattle; it’s March 2019. The public will find out about Investiture at the end of The Knights Next Door. We will then have a timeskip of 20 years into the future to when our kids, should our characters choose to have any, are teenagers for the sequel (which will be called The Knights Next Gen or The Knights Next Generation). Immediately after this timeskip, some of us will write stuff about specific new technology that we think is reasonable and that may or may not impact us or the plot in any way. All unInvested people will now see (insert other senses here) Invested objects and people differently from how they actually are, filling in anything that can’t be explained with something that makes more sense to them. They will be able to be confused or suspicious about these things. This is because of a sentient but not sapient Unmade called Sha-thoexis. Sha-thoexis: An Unmade that stops people from realizing what we do; smaller strange issues get glossed over, but if you really force someone to see what we are doing, then they will understand that something is off; this knowledge can fade over time again, if no additional reminder is set Sha-thoexis is able to lure a Radiant into breaking their oaths and can injure and kill an Invested person in their dreams Bondsmiths are able to partially influence dreams induced by Sha-thoexis by moving Invested beings around, therefore offering the chance to fight back together Violet crystals: These crystals can power Voidbringers, make them stronger; they have the ability to influence mortals in a way that is beneficial for the Voidbringers They are like seeds, extending roots into the ground It is possible to destroy them, if several Radiants work together (stop them from growing more roots, shatter them) What happens if such a seed has the time to blossom is unknown/undecided Our house: Backyard: large pool, enough space to spar outside, a special huge tree with branches reaching one of the windows in the first floor, the overlook - a stone terrace with chairs positioned to look out over the city, a firepit, and a small fridge Basement: huge training room/armory, storage, Doc's inventing room, multipurpose room Ground floor: kitchen, dining room, living room, a few other smaller rooms with couches/TVs/etc, the study First floor: several bathrooms, rooms for each inhabitant of the house plus extra (the room in the corner that can be reached by climbing up the tree has been claimed by Shana) A few more floors and an attic with rooms and storage Garage: several cars and motorcycles Voidbringers: Voidbringers are humans who bond Voidspren (not singers) The first sign of their corruption is red eyes, further signs of corruption have to be decided upon Investiture: Investiture is spread out around the planet Our characters currently know only about AonDor, Allomancy, Feruchemy and of course Surgebinding Radiants generate a small of amount of Stormlight naturally, which is saved in crystals Data and wireless communications have beads in the Cognitive Realm like anything else, which move quickly through the air AonDor originated in Russia Forgery originated in China, Bloodsealing in Japan ChayShan originated in India The Metallic Arts originated in Europe, then spread to North America Egypt/Saudi Arabia and the surrounding countries have Awakening and Returned Aviar (specifically, the parasites, and any other Drominad magic should it be discovered) are in the Polynesian islands Australia has Ashynite disease magic; Australia also has the Silverlight Academy (located in Perth) The Sahara and Gobi deserts have sand mastery Surgebinding is native to the American continents Yolish Lightweaving is in Southern Africa Aethers come from Brazil in South America Make sure to be nice and have fun! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
