I post on the shard as Random Bystander. Mostly in the Role Playing form, but I visit others occasionally. And I have a theory about what is going on here.

Quote My theory is completely fake and only for this Role Play. "Okay, so you know how Brandon has been saying that there is that one Shard who has been hiding from Odium? And you know how people have speculated that the Shard is Wisdom or Prudence or something? Well what if the Shard is not Wisdom, not Prudence, but Insight. And what if Brandon Sanderson is Insight, and he is giving us all Insights on the Cosmere. And then, our Milky Way Galaxy would be a Shardworld." She grinned.

danex Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 (edited) Quote THIS IS SUCH A COOL IDEA HOW HAVE NONE OF US DONE THIS ALREADY???? Playing as myself with minor differences. Also, I’m gonna RP in first person, since I’m literally just being me. Spoiler Name: Daniel Walker (might be my real name, might be completely different, might be slightly different, take a guess. ) Also called “Dan” “Danny” “Dannex” or just “D”. Backstory: Bla bla boring real life stuff, was magically teleported into Scadrial one day. Personality: Literally just me. Just read my ‘about me’ on my profile if you really wanna know. Very very knowledgeable about the cosmere. Investiture: Oh gosh what to pick. It feels like so much more of a real choice because I’m literally RPing myself uhhhhh let’s go F-Steel, just for fun. I’ll catch up on the thread and then post my first character bit. Edited February 11, 2021 by Dannex 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like we actually don’t have a single one, so I’ll definitely snatch it. Edit: forgot to mention age, I’m 16 and therefore so is character!me. Ugghhh, AP calc is the worst. I was finally starting to understand derivatives and now we completely abandon them to learn about integrals? What the heck is an integral?!? I need a break... I set my homework aside and walk towards the front door, grabbing my keys off the table. “Bye mom,” I yell, “I’m gonna go get a drink at Circle K.” ”Okay! Drive safe!” ”I will.” I head outside, get in my car, and head to the gas station. On my way there, I notice a lady walking her dogs. I arrive at the station, get my drink (50% Lemon Lime Mountain Dew, 35% Sprite, and 15% lemonade), and leave. As I’m driving, I see the same lady from earlier, except her dogs seem to be giving her a bit of a hard time. Out of nowhere, one rips its leash away from her and runs out into the street, directly in front of me. I stomp on my brakes as hard as I can, and my forehead slams directly into my steering wheel. Everything goes black. *** Suddenly I’m falling through the air. What the... I don’t even have time to process the weirdness of that situation before I’m thrust into a weirder one. Hitting the ground. Owwwwwwww... I look around, and I seem to have been lucky enough to land in a...trash bin? I take a sniff. I gag. Maybe not as lucky as I thought...What am I doing in a dumpster? Agh my head is killing me. I remember working on my calc... this is so weird. I stand up slowly, holding a hand to my aching head, and suddenly realize I’m not alone. I’m in some sort of alley, and there are other people here too. “Erm, Hi?” I grimace. It hurts to talk.
