Hi Everybody! 

I'm Dragonheir, pronouns he him, and I'm new to the shard (as this thread may indicate). It'd be nice if there was a template or something, but I'll do my best. 

I'm as high-schooler, and have been reading Brandon Sanderson for several years. I read Rithmatist in a library, then Reckoners, but the Stormlight Archive was what caused me to become really interested in his books. In the last six months or so, I've read the standalone cosmere books, and a this point am only missing the Alcatrez series, Perfect State, and maybe a non-cosmere short story or two. I recently found the shard attempting to figure out whether shardplate was waterproof or not, and I must have read half the in-depth theories and coppermind pages by now, as well as many WOBs. I'm beginning to think that a certain Stormlight character must have made a couple dozen shard accounts on a particular plot-related day. I'm somewhat of a procrastinator, demonstrated by the fact that I read more cosmere theories instead of writing this introduction last month. I have a layman's understanding of many science and physics concepts, and enjoy reading fantasy and sci-fi, (Sanderson has raised my standards a bit, as several other people on here have complained), as well as spending hours worldbuilding something I'll never get around to writing. At least initially, I'll probably spend my time here thinking of ways to exploit the magic systems (Sanderson typically makes that hard to do), reading and commenting on other people's theories, and maybe writing my own. Who knows, maybe I'll even join the roleplaying or Sanderson elimination forums. I like playing D&D, and I'm also on the D&DBeyond forums, although I've become inactive as of late, due to reading 17th shard stuff (Whatever Kabsal bets with to you if you can guess my username there). I've also been meaning to check out the MAG, but haven't done so yet. There's some Shard customs I've yet to understand, such as [adjective or profession] ! [character] and whatever espousing a theory is supposed to mean, so it'd be nice if somebody helped me with that. I'll take a cookie, but there's no way I'm gonna fall for the hidden spike trick and eat it. Maybe I can find something else to do with it...

Anyway, I ran out of things to say, so I'll stop now. A preemptive nice to meet you to everybody.

-Dragonheir

Hey there! Welcome to the Shard!

If you could visit any country on Roshar for a week, which country would you visit and why?

Does Urithiru count? After RoW, it seems like a safe location to be, and I could meet all the main characters, as well as do some fabrial research. I'd try to get answers to all the RAFO questions about them, and maybe even help the main characters by inventing bendalloy fabrials or something.

Welcome to the Shard! We'd love to see you in the Roleplays and Sanderson Elimination anytime :).

Thank you! I'll probably join an SE game at some point. Roleplaying might have some lore for me to learn before it join that, though.

Would you like a cookie?

Thanks! I'll take your cookie. What kind is it? The spike's metal, I mean. You're not fooling me. But a chance to calculate investiture density is a good opportunity.

You should totally join the 17th shard hunger games.

Like...

Totally.

Def not biased.

Plus there isn't really any lore you need to know. A new one is starting on the 20th I think, sign ups are out now.

Excellent...

'Tis a simple cookie! Some mere steel, with chocolate chips!

Sounds interesting. Can I have a link?

What's it charged with? I'll probably just measure the investiture weight and decay.

Chronomancy is fun. One of the characters in a story I never got around to writing can jump back in time about ten seconds at a time to protect or warn their past self. There's some magic stuff that lets them avoid causing paradoxes. Actual precognition and time slowing are also handy. What about you?

Welcome to the Shard! If you could spend a day with any Sanderson character, who would you choose?

Am I coming to them, or are they coming to me? I'd probably just use the time to figure out the answers to RAFO questions. Hoid, if he would tell me anything, or Kriss, or Navani, or somebody who makes the Malwish-tech, or TLR (if he wouldn't kill me on the spot), or Dusk, or whoever knows the other six lumar spores, or a shard. Sazed is a nice person, who gives good advice, and Wayne would be fun to talk to, and would make a day way longer than it would otherwise. I could try spending a day with the Nightwatcher for the boon (the ability to go to and from the Cosmere whenever I want) and maybe a Radiant bond. Basically, I can't choose (but I want magic, information, or both).

Just a humble Phonomancer. I'm a Combat Trombonist. Chronomancy is a good pick!

Said story also has a Phonomancer in it. Resonant frequencies, shock-waves, ambient music, and destructive interference are fun powers.

Welcome to the Shard! 

Would you rather pick up Nightblood, Hoid's worst personality traits, or a RAFO card?

Also, which Shard would you Ascend to?

How many pounds of nacho cheese can you eat in one sitting?

Also HI. Hello, and welcome to the shard.

Probably a decent amount. I don't really know how much it weighs, but if I have cheese nachos for lunch, I believe I usually eat around two cups of cheese sauce.

A RAFO. I think Brandon signs those sometimes. 

Maybe Invention? I like building things, but another shard might fit better. We'd need to get the multi-sentence intent descriptions for each one for me to decide for sure.

@Dragonheir! Are you my long lost twin? We sound like we could be the same person. Are you a just an heir, or a dragon relative as well? And if the former, then how did you become the next in line without kinship? Tell me your secrets!
