Yeah lightweaving and will shaping Would be the perfect combination for a thief. The ability to get through any wall and the ability to adopt any disguise.

JustQuestin2004 he/him Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) Here's a cool one Status Slave - Parshman +1 Profession Artifabrian -4 Artifacts None Powers Enlighten Spren Bond -5 (Corrupted Mistspren) Boon/Bane -2 (Boon: Far greater ability to understand Rythms and Tones. Bane: Become irreversibly mute) Excuse me for double dipping, but I just thought about a cool idea for a story. Set several years before TWoK. It's about a Parshman who was a pair of spare hands for a brilliant artifabrian who loved to talk aloud, with my character learning all about fabrians and gaining experience with working with them due to this unconventional internship. He was eventually found by Sja-Anat, who was more concious due to the Everstorm and was given a bond to a Corrupted Mistspren named Shran. Due to this strange and unconventional Bond, my character regains sentience and vows to do whatever he can to fix the other Parshmen. He becomes friends with his former master, now actual teacher, and collaborate on this. Though they make zero progress and my character becomes so desperate that he goes to the Nightwatcher to hopefully find answers or at least something helpful. He gains the ability to hear Rythms with a clarity no other Singer could dream of, but loses his ability to talk and attune to Rythms. Leaving him unable to vocally communicate with others without the aid of Shran, who he is very reluctant to show to anyone who isn't a close friend. He still strives for answers and eventually he and his master hear about the Listeners and make their way to the Shattered Plains to try to learn from these 'Parshendi' about the Affliction and why they were not affected by it unlike other Parshmen. All the while trying to not get involved with the war of reckoning, but they do anyway, trying to help the Listeners. Edited January 13, 2023 by JustQuestin2004 1

I’d get it if you weren’t, as they certainly have better lives than branded slaves. EDIT: also, on soulcasters, since they can soulcast from 1 to 3 of the 10 essences, would you want more points for a more versatile soulcaster? Edited January 14, 2023 by Elder 1

alder24 Posted January 14, 2023 Posted January 14, 2023 Status: used to be slave (ardent) used to be a Darkeye Profession: soldier/duelist Artifacts: used to have Iron soulcaster, now have stolen dead Shardblade No powers I used to be an Ardent Soulcaster bonded to the holy Solucaster of Iron. I served Highprince of Jah Keved who was famous for his brutality as he treated even Ardents like mere slaves. I've become a savant and my body slowly turned into iron. To avoid death by petrification, I've abandoned Soulcaster and Artent's duty, and run away, secretly stealing Shardblade that belonged to the Highprince, known as a "Soulsweeper" out of spite. The Soulsweeper's blade is thin but long, sharp on one side, while the other edge curves like gentle sea waves on a calm day, with only the blade's tip being sharp on both sides. Whole blade is curved very gently like a saber. Its hilt is secured by a highly patterned crossguard, which beautifully centers on a teardrop shaped yellow topaz attached to it. I ran away from Jah Keved to avoid being persecuted and arrived at Alethkar when I started learning swordsmanship by practicing dueling without shardblades. I have to hide my Shardblade to avoid being caught and prosecuted by stealing Highprince Shard. My body, that mostly turned into Iron from all those years of soulcasting, limits my movements and speed, yet provides impenetrable armor that no regular sword or weapon can break. When War of Reckoning started I joined the army of Hightprince Sebarial as one of many mercenaries, still hiding my Shardblade. I participated in the battle of Narak and became severely wounded from Regal's lightning strike. It took me more than a year to recover, however my weird state of Soulcasting Savant only complicated matters. As I found out, Iron body and lightning strikes are very bad combinations. After Taravangian betrayal I could finally reveal myself as a Shardbearer and use Soulsweeper without the fear of extradition. I fought in Emul alongside other Radiants and Shardbearers. My iron body, despite limiting my movements, proves to be on par with even Magnified Ones. When fighting I use mainly Ironstance and Stonestance, especially Stonestance for defense as it's considered "the immovable stance", fitting well with my slow speed. I had the privilege to stand face to face with my former master and Highprince in Emul and I took immense satisfaction when he recognised his Shardblade just moments before it swept his soul away. After this I've sworn to continue fighting against Voidbringers and with this repay Almighty my sins of abandoning Ardent's duty. No idea how to give points to all those "used to be" but it's around ten. There is a future foreshadowed (bluntly) within these words. Can you find it? 1
