Hello!

[The Metallian He/Him]

Hello!

I've been a Cosmere fan since about 2012, when I read Elantris, then Mistborn, then everything else.

I don't get heavy into theorizing, myself, but I eagerly read everyone else's theorizing on the Coppermind and the Arcanum whenever I get caught up on books. I'm on the 17th Shard Discord, and I've read this forum before, but I finally joined because I wanted to read Aether of Night and this was the place to request it. After I joined, i received a friendly suggestion to introduce myself here, so here I am!

Hello, Welcome to the Ire, Ahem, Shard. 

What is your favourite MOI, and what is your favourite system, and why?

Also, do you know any aethers? If you do, please put in a good word.

Who's your favourite Cosmere character?

This can be a difficult question, so you may pick multiple.

What non-compounding Twinborn combination would you want?

Hello!

I hadn't thought too much about favorites, but...probably AonDor. First of all: It's the closest to being a straight-up wizard. Second: I'm a programmer, and it's the most like programming.

Alas, I don't know any Aethers personally and have only heard of one by name, but I did just get my copy of Aether of Night, so we'll see!

Oooo, favorite characters are easier.

Offhand, I'd say: Jasnah, Adolin, Marasi, Hoid, and Nightblood are all characters of whom I'm particularly fond.

Twinborn combinations...I'd have to think hard about that. Especially since some of the more esoteric Feruchemical uses have not been fully explained, yet.

I'm super tired at the moment, and don't sleep well in general, so Feruchemical Bronze is very tempting. Allomantic Pewter would be nice in terms of healing and generally feeling better. Those are fairly "boring" applications, but I'm feeling pretty beat from a late night last night and a bunch of yard work this morning, so that's where my head's at at the moment.

Hmm. I feel like we don't get to know many different types of Spren well, but I'm very fond of Pattern, so I'll say Cryptic.

I do think I'm temperamentally suited to Inkspren, and I certainly like the Elsecaller powers, but there just haven't been many scenes with Ivory, let alone any others.

I find Wayne very entertaining to read! I think I'd find him hard to take in real life, though.

Dragons are very cool.

Feruchemy is cool, I don't like Hemalugy.

Top 2...I like AonDor, as I mentioned. Second? Maybe Surgebinding? 

(Does Microkinesis count? )

Listen, Hemalurgy is incredibly morally dubious. I do not condone any irl hemalurgic practices.

However, you do have to admit, it is pretty freaking cool. I disagree with the morals, but agree with the worldbuilding.

I love it as a plot point, a way to theorize and learn, I love how you could pass down powers to future generations, or kill everyone in the cosmere with a single aluminum spike (look it up, their overpowered).

Hemalrugy is the worst MoI of the Cosmere. But, it is the coolest (Besides Feruchemy) MoI in the cosmere.

Feruchemy isn't the coolest, it's the most useful. The coolest got to be Surgebinding, but if I could take one I'd go Feruchemy. What I would give for brassminds and copperminds...

Feruchemy is the coolest and the most useful. The only cool part about surgebinding is that you get a little friend to help you.
