which bendalloy twinborn would you like to be?

[Entr0pic He/him]

so, this is my 3rd twinborn poll. I’m think I’ll do electrum next, then cadmium.

I, personally like bendalloy and zinc, as you could kind of beat anyone in an argument. If someone has a point you can’t beat on your own, bendalloy bubble, tap zinc, then drop the bubble, and boom, master counterpoint.

While this thing doesn't technically break any rules, let's maybe hold off on doing this for all 16 metals. A few is fine, but we also have a Twinborn Combinations topic where these things can be discussed. I don't think we need to have 16 topics for what is essentially one topic of discussion. People may discuss in this topic and the other two, but let's direct any further discussions/questions to the Twinborn Combinations topic linked above.

Very well. I’ll refrain from doing anymore twinborn polls & such.

I will answer this one just because I used to roll for combos and I hit 14+14 multiple times. Like every time I would roll on a new day I would hit the bendalloy compounder and I always thought it was rubbish.  

Then I learned about Aetherbound in the last mistborn book. Now I feel like I was destined to obtain a Luhel bond as a bendalloy compounder. Compounded water/ hydration for a Luhel bond seems like a fate that the dice knew I would like before Brandon even finished TLM.

This one is actually interesting because @DoctaDajman aside, bendalloy compounders aren't really that good. I mean, compounding is always overpowered, but this time, there are more potentially interesting aspects that can be used here.

Absolutely!  Interestingly it is this potential synergy that makes this the only metal I would choose to compound. Compounding always feels too cheesy and cheap to me.... but if it is to infinitely feed a bond to a Great mushroomy cosmic being that stretches the cosmere then sign me up!  

Plus eating and drinking as much as you want to only throw it away and not mess up your body would be pretty nice.

I think F-Steel would synergize very well. Wayne fights by running up to someone and trapping them in a speed bubble. If you have F-Steel you don't to worry about being shot while running after your target and once your speed bubble ends you can flee/find new targets very quickly. F-Steel is also one of the easier attributes to store. I love Wayne but being sick whenever I'm not fighting sounds miserable. Compounding Bendalloy sounds nice till you realize how expensive it would be. Miles had to resort to crime to fuel his compounding and I'd imagine you'd have to do the same. If we talking about these powers on their own I'd probably join the army if I had Bendalloy compounding. If you have a army of soldiers that don't have to worry about packing food and water you could move troops much faster and solve a ton of logistical problems. The army would also be willing to pay for my metals. At the end of the day though that sounds less fun the dashing around and being on the frontlines of a fight.

@Entr0pic If I'm not mistaken, you can do multiple polls in a single post (I don't know the limit). This would be great if you still want the poll results (and community involvement) - it might be a better idea than having 16 different posts.

You can, at most, have 90 options in a topic (30 per poll). Due to the fact that there are 256 twinborn varieties, i would still need 5 polls, at a minimum.

Atium is basically incompatible because bendalloy is only created after most of the atium is gone. (Because bendalloy needs more modern ways to be created)

I don’t care if they don’t stack at all, Wakefulness is an insane ability to tap in a metal mind. You know how much stuff I could get done if I never had to sleep and could just stop time whenever I want? Probably the same amount of stuff I get done now, BUT I COULD PROCRASTINATE EVEN MORE.
