Ixthos Luke/Luke Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) ... Well, that certainly wasn't expected. I wonder if he is like that because he isn't Virtuous enough. ([Edit] I've been informed that Virtuosity is closer in meaning to skill than virtue. Never mind.) I guess Hoid is a little like Castle Heterodyn. He may be stuck in time - assuming that is an accurate description - but his mind and powers are still free to Lightweave. Is he drawing power from the hion lines? Edited March 17, 2022 by Ixthos 1
Gilphon Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 (Side note: Virtuosity isn't the same thing as Virtue; Virtuosity refers to artistic skill and ability. Which we've seen is a thing that's very important in both magic systems on display) My assumption is that this a thing Hoid does sometimes when he can sense that he's not going to need to do anything important for the next few decades/centuries- if how he ended up like was really important, it wouldn't have been spoiled for us here. 1
+Oltux72 he/him Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 Am I the only one reminded of Han Solo? Mercy and Hoid fighting with Shard Blades. Mercy: Did Frost tell you what really happened to your old teacher? Hoid: You killed him! Mercy: No, I am your teacher. Hoid: Noooo ... and just lets them switch on the time freezing machine. Then Destiny carries him off in a spaceship made from Aethers. 1

Yup. I assume this is how he puts himself into stasis. And Design being a spren, deciding to use him as a coat rack as a joke on him. 2

I'm wondering if it isn't something he chooses, but rather something that he either has to do after a given period, or something that comes randomly upon him - he's minding his own business when suddenly he gets frozen in time, provided Fortune isn't compelling him to go somewhere.
