[Vielence She/Her]

But make it special! And Nerdy!! Like, obv PLEASE do Sanderson stuff but also other fantasy novels! 
 

So: 

What you’d be.

Why. 
And a line from a character who is also that. 
 

Ok I’ll start

A Merlin, from Legendborn, by Tracy Deonn. 
Because I want to throw flames at people and also be able to forge weapons whenever I wish.

Solid choice

Honestly I'd go for being an Unwanted (from the Unwanteds) because the magic system is solely based on art, creativity, and imagination.

I’d definitely be a Kandra, I’ve been mentally planning out how I’d do my skeleton for best utility, including aesthetic spikes. But sadly I’m not good enough at drawing to show y’all.

But like, the amount of crazy stuff you could do as one, especially if you start interacting with other cosmere magic systems. Like, especially with an aetherbond.

[The Great Wyver She/Her]

I'd probably be a dream warrior of a mantis from HK. Not only have I already created a self insert for that (as I do with every fandom im in because im crazy) but I think I'd just fit in with all the mantis stuff maybe idk also the whole anti-infection solo Lorded honor fighty fighty thing is pretty cool if that makes sense.

"Honor from an outsider... how rare." -Mantis Warrior (Idk what other quote to do lol)

[KnightSkye Reforged They/Them]

A firebender, from Avatar the last Airbender.

Because I want to be able to throw fire at people and breath fire and cool stuff, I think I would be able to learn lightningbending, and I enjoy the style of martial arts firebending is based off of.

I would be a Hobbit from The Hobbit because they are cheerful and never seem to have any major crises (crisises?) apart from when Gandalf turns up.

"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit." (I'm terrible at remembering quotations)
