The Full Cosmere Restarted RP has full Cosmere spoilers, including WaT. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Let's rewind everything all the way back to the Shattering. Except this time, nothing Invested exists apart from the newly created Shards. The only exceptions are spren, highstorms, Rosharan fauna that bond spren, Shades, Aviar, and the other fauna on First of the Sun.  

You get to take the place of one of the 16 who have just killed Adonalsium (again). Or you can be someone else. 

Star Systems:

• The Rosharan System - Ashyn, Roshar and Braize.
• Scadrian System - Scadrial itself does not exist. The gas giant Aagal Nod appears to have 6 major moons, all of which can become their own Shardworlds. Aagal Uch has four moon that you can settle. To make things easier, I'm calling the star Scadaria, and the two dwarf planets Scadaria D and Scadaria E. 
• The Selish System. Donne, Sel, its moon Oem, the four moons of Ky, and the four of Ralen.
• The Threnodite System. Monody, Elegy, its moon Coronach, Threnody and Purity.
• The Drominad System. First of the Sun, Second of the Sun, Third of the Sun, Fourth of the Sun, 3 moons of Fifth of the Sun, 4 moons of Sixth of the Sun, and 4 moons of Seventh of the Sun.

I'm not going to touch the Taldain, Nalthian, Lumaran, or UTolian systems for now. 

In green are confirmed habitable planets. Blue are planets in the habitable zone but may or may not be habitable. Red are terrestrial planets outside the habitable zone. All gas giant moons are too cold and require Shardic intervention to make habitable. It is unknown whether Donne, Monody and Elegy are habitable. 

For all the planets we haven't seen on page - we can make it up! It's worldbuilding time! I might create another thread for that. 

Character sheet

Name:

Pronouns:

Planet of Origin:

Species:

Age:

Where you were at the time Shattering (are you one of the sixteen or were somewhere else?):

Personality:

Species-wise, I'm accepting Humans, Sho Del, Singers and Dragons. We don't know much about Sho Del and Dragons, but some Spec. Bio. can fix that. I'll accept Yolen as Planet of Origin, and is the only accepted planet for Sho Del and Dragons, but you cannot be at Yolen when the Shattering happened. We know too little about the planet and I'd rather not worldbuild this one. Humans may come from Yolen, Ashyn or First of the Sun. Singers may only be from Roshar.

The RP starts once we have the 16 Shards. Signups will still be open for more characters.

 

Character sheet

Name: Alph

Pronouns: He/Him

Planet of Origin: Threnody (Threnody existed pre-shattering, and was inhabited, at least before Ambition got there, which was very soon after the shattering. Probably had gunpowder), if not, then Alaswha (Ashyn isn't a thing yet).

Species: Human

Age: 27

Where were you at the time Shattering (are you one of the sixteen or were somewhere else?): One of the 16, vessel of [Virtuosity or Ruin]. He didn't take issue with Ado, but wanted to see a god die.

Personality: Depending on who you ask, Alph is.... disturbed. To him, there is beauty in death, in destruction, and he revels in it. As any true artist would tell you, the act of destruction is just as important as the moment of creation. Before the shattering, he was an artist and philosopher, creating both art and essays on the root of beauty. He's dramatic, he's flamboyant, he's over the top.
 

Spoiler

As Virtuosity pushes him further and further towards artistic pursuits, he's likely to start destroying worlds.

Nice.

We have 8 of 16. This may be rough to get enough. We could do double shifts really easy.

Shards:

1. Ruin- IcedOutPenguin
2. Cultivation- CoderDragon
3. Valor-ThatOne Worldhopper
4. Autonomy- Spartan
5. Dominion or Ambition- ChickenBonanza
6. Mercy or Ambition-  Ashkaloda
7. X (Whimsy?)- Dilly honorspren
8. Invention or X- Dragon heir
9. Virtuosity- Argenti

Other: (give this man a dawnshard)

Encephelous-  .....

He's not a shard. we should get him a dawn shard or something.

I do think it would be interesting, as the story develops, to pick up a couple of other PCs to play. Like I might play a foot soldier from my world as well.

I don't want to give anyone a Dawnshard just yet... I was intending on them being scattered throughout the Cosmere after Adonalsium was Shattered.

Erm actually, we know that Scadrial is the most advanced planet in the cosmere (or was before the lord ruler), and the lord ruler came thousands of years after the shattering, and only reversed human physcology a little bit in terms of gunpowder (it had just started being a thing), so no. Threnody would not have gunpowder before the shattering.

In era two, mind you.  Taldian was more developed in era 1 for sure. Threnody developed gunpowder at some point before the coming of the evil, (you cant make gunpowder after the forests of hell) which was presumably related to the splintering of Ambition, which happened early on. Humans on earth developed gunpowder in the 9th century, which almost every world we've seen had at least that level of tech. It's possible that there was some stretch of time between the death of Ambition and the creation of the evil (likely even, given Nazh.), but its inaccurate to say that scadrial was the most developed world pre Ascension. All Khriss said is that they were developing at a rate far faster than anyone else and would have eclipsed everyone. We don't know know the tech level of the cosmere at the time. Dragonsteel prime suggests it's late bronze age early iron age, which is possible. But given that we took around 2500 years go from the iron age's start to today, it's not unreasonable to assume that they might have been more or less developed than that.

It's completely possible that some random person invented gunpowder on yolen pre-shattering. I mean microkinies can split the atom.

 

If we wanna cannoize no gunpowder that works too. I don't really care lol, it's not important to Alph's story.

OKAY OKAY

The logic-its too powerful!

I have been bested in a contest of logic!

I concede defeat.

There is a pretty wide range of time where Ambition could have died. The range given in Wind and Truth is around 2000 years, I think. And Odium did kill Devotion and Dominion before he did Ambition. So, the Evil destroyed Homeland anywhere from 0 to ~2000 years after the Shattering, assuming the Evil started Eviling all over the place immediately after Ambition’s Investiture arrived, and didn’t lay dormant for however long. So, Threnody could be all well and prosperous right now, or they could be 2000 years removed from gunpowder and the like. Personally, I’d assume their technology level would be roughly analogous with Yolen’s. Would feel weird for THE planet to not be the farthest ahead, at least at the time of the Shattering. That shouldn’t dictate anything, though.

(If Nazrilof was born around the time of the Evil’s rise, he’d be ~8-10000 years old by the time of Mistborn Era 2. That’d be pretty funny. Who knows his actual birthdate, however.)

Mh yes you're correct. He went after Ambition first, then couldn't find her and was in the neighborhood and did a drive-by murder of DnD. 

Yeah they're probably around yolen, I'll admit it doesn't male sense for a colony to be further ahead then yolen. 

(Nazh being super old is also really weird. I suspect the evil was a slow corruption at first then entered the physical and ate everyone)

What I meant wasn't what shard we got, I meant the actual wording of the deal of noninterference the shards keep bringing up.

The whole thing about "Originally, the Shards made an agreement not to interfere with each other, but they did not make a formal oath and many of the Shards chose not to keep to the agreement. Additionally, Honor felt he did not break the agreement by traveling with Cultivation, suggesting the wording of the agreement may not have been as precise as Shards like Endowment thought."
