Alleyverse Era Nine Signups

[Argenti he/him]

Perses, who has been around for a few eras now, is overpowered. However, I have about four years of Alleyverse experience, and am planning on using Perses as more of a helping role to move the plot along than a central role (unless it becomes otherwise needed that he is to be a big bad). I'm paying close attention to Perses' power as I roleplay, and am going to ensure that all interactions I have with people will make it so that they don't feel as though they are being backed into a corner, RP-wise. Thats a skill that comes with time, and something that I'm not going to assume that every newcomer to the Alleyverse has, as that can cause problems with things such as god modding and poor sportsmanship.

 

And this is why I'm playing a 2nd oath radiant.

My understanding of TLM was that Purified Dor was hard to come buy, which is what he’d need. Ordninary Dor is still location based, so since the Alleyverse is far away from JinDo, ordinary Dor wouldn’t help him much. Am I wrong about how that works?

 

The actual investiture is supplied by Alleystorms (I think that's what they're called), but you still need a connection to the place, but if you create a repesentation of JinDo, you can get around that. It's in TLM.

Do you mean as if I make a place that looks like JinDo? I’m confused

When Shai made a map of Luthedel Valley, she was creating a representing of what elantris would be- kinda like a translation guide, from selish to scadrian. You see this in tress too. Make a map of Alleycity.

Awesome thank you!!!!

Here is my character:

Spoiler

Name: Cayansa Caprir

Appearance: Pale, white- gold hair that frizzes around their head like cotton wool, a little above their shoulders. Largish grey eyes, and what look like worry lines but are actually a byproduct of the fact they need glasses (which they refuse to acknowledge). Average height (so, short for a Rosharan) and build. Constantly standing on tiptoes and craning their neck to see what's around them. Has a squint. Wearing a set of slightly grimy, slightly tattered pale beige robes, and sandals. Carries an extremely grimy, extremely tattered satchel containing an outdated book on fabrials, a notebook, three dun sapphire chips, a telescope, and a broken spanreed.

Affiliations: None so far: very new to the area.

Personality: Endlessly inquisitive, and endlessly talkative. If you want a secret kept (or just some peace and quiet), don't talk to Cayansa. Gets flustered around authority figures. Can try to force their views on others. Generally heart-on-sleeve, apart from when scared, which they're good at hiding. Tries to be compassionate and helpful, but somewhat hapless and doesn't always understand what to do. Passionate about magic systems (and really, really excited to learn there are more than just Rosharan magics). Hates it when people lie, and wants the truth to be out in the open for everyone. Somewhat narrow-minded. Hates propaganda, crime, and glasses.

Concept: A blabbermouth, naive Truthwatcher.

Motivations: Short-term: Get a reliable job and find a place to live. Either that, or apply for a place at the University. 

Long-term: Expose lies of people in power to the public; find a leader who's honest and can be trusted.

Merits:

Minor: -Good conversationalist, can normally work out what someone might want to hear

-Decent knowledge of Rosharan magic systems, especially fabrials

-Mediocre flautist

Normal:

-Photographic memory

-Excellent investigation skills

Major:

-Has a companion Mistspren and will likely become a Truthwatcher

Flaws: Cannot keep a secret; talks nonstop (which can get on people's nerves); has no sense of aim - very shortsighted; can be stubborn; inexperienced

Relationships: Spren - Reyx. Mistspren. Met in (old) Urithiru. Reyx is sarcastic but good-humoured. They haven't bonded to Cayansa yet officially, but came through to the Physical Realm and found them. Both think it's likely to happen, but they haven't yet had a proper discussion about it. Reyx is slightly befuddled by the Alleyverse, but a little better equipped to deal with it than Cayansa. The pair can frequently be seen engaged in friendly banter.

Contacts: Ria and Leo Hrael, Thaylen full Shardbearers and twins who came to the Alleyverse on the same expedition as Cayansa. Impatient with, and angry at, Cayansa. Would threaten them if they saw them, but likely wouldn't actually hurt them. Gonad Naher - elderly Alethi Brightlord. Has a soft spot for Cayansa but thinks (perhaps accurately) they're incredibly immature, and doesn't like them very much. Also has family back on Roshar: two older sisters, one older brother, a mother and a father, all highly successful Thaylen merchants based in Thaylen City who have no idea where they are.

Home planet: Roshar. Born and raised in Thaylen City until the age of 16.

Backstory: Grew up in Thaylen City. Aged 17 (two years ago), became the ward of Alethi Brightlady Safia Eldal. Within the month, Urithiru was discovered and the family moved there. They were at Urithiru during the Battle of Thaylen City, including being attacked. They were outraged to discover Taravangian might have been involved and set out to see if this was true, meeting Reyx while they were at it. They befriended an elderly minor Brightlord, Gonad Naher, who also turned out to be corrupt shortly before the Final Ten Days. On the second of the Final Ten Days, Naher seemed to be leaving on an expedition with two Shardbearers (Ria and Leo). Cayansa followed so they could press charges at the new location, and ended up in the Alleyverse. Briefly stayed in the Mistwarrens before confronting Naher, who denied all accusations. They don't know where Naher and his group is now.

Current residence: Tiny community shelter in the Corridor.

Loose threads: How did Naher get to the Alleyverse? What is he planning? What happened back on Roshar? Can anyone with power be trusted?

 

[Myst He/Him]

Okay, so if not ChayShan, then I’ll just take that out, I’m not sure what else I’d replace it with anyways, so yeah. I’ll go edit my character sheet

Edit: if I can somehow rp this(and it makes sense in the story line) I am so going to try and make him have connection to Canticle, like Nomad.

@Ookla the Cutest I just noticed that one of my characters from Era 8 is missing from the list. That would be, Jerrin Tridner, which should be on the Era 8 page somewhere (I can try to find it. EDIT: it's at the top of the Era 8 character thread.) And as a side note, I probably will be dropping Palava, since the UFO plot is not going on.

Here it is

  Hide contents

Name: Starseeker
Appearance: A man in his late 20s when he Returned, he is 201 cm tall, has black hair and violet eyes. He wears the robes of a Returned, violet for him.
Affiliations: The priests he left behind in T'Telir, whom he hasn't seen in a long time,  Kaladfin, who helped him sabotage the Skybreakers on Roshar, and his Inkspren Crimson.
Personality: He is rather casual and rather easy to gain the trust of, though living around the gods makes him weary of those who seem too eager. He treats almost everyone like an equal, except for the few he sees as evil. He is also quite optimistic.
Concept: A Radiant Returned to wants to see the Cosmere.
Motivation (Short & long term goal): Starseeker doesn't really have any major goal anymore besides exploring, since he now is no longer reliant on taking Breaths to live. However, he does have to find a way to pay for his room.
Merits: He's a Second Ideal Elsecaller, a Returned (is this too much?) and has an affinity to music.
Flaws: He's unpracticed with his Surges and can't yet Elsecall out of Shadesmar yet, and has WoR Shallan-level Soulcasting. Starseeker's also prone to deception by those he thinks are helping him and still misses having his priests around.
Relationships (Eg. Family and Friends): He does not know any of his family, if he even has any. As for friends, he really only considers Crimson as one.
Home Planet: Nalthis, Hallendren
Current Residence: He rents a room in New Hallendren.
Backstory: He left Nalthis via Endowment's Perpendicularity after hearing a story from Hoid. In Shadesmar, he learnt of Roshar and the Skybreakers, and saw this as a chance to drop his reliance on Breath. He emerged from Cultivation's Perpendicularity and travelled to Purelake where the Skybreakers were training hopefuls (it's a Sanderson Elimation game, and what he was created for). Starseeker joined, but turned on them when he became an Elsecaller and realised that the other Radiant Orders were still possible. He fled once again to Shadesmar with Kaladfin (a character of TwinStorm's) and his new spren Crimson. Sometime later, he split up with Kaladfin and encountered on of the Doors, leading to the Door-Ways RP, where he was discovered by 18142, a character of mine made for TLT. 18142 told Starseeker of places like TLT, BftS and Trisolaris. Starseeker left sometime later, back in the CR, and encountered the Alleyverse,
Loose ends (What is unfinished in their life?): Starseeker does want to meet back with his priests eventually, though he doesn't know that one of them was a Pahn Kahl in disguise and died sometime after he left (another Sanderson Elimination game)

[Argenti he/him]

Spoiler

Name: Khachah
Appearance: A young Malen singer, Khachah's skin is black, marbled with flowing streaks of white. He is dressed in clothes befitting an Alethi solider, with marks on the uniform denoting a sergeant of the Highprince Sadeas - or it would if the Glyphs weren't scratched out. As a rosharan, he is usually tall. 

Affiliations: Khachah is a deserter, and has just recently fled Roshar to go to Alley City. As thus, he's mostly a free agent...

Personality: Khachah is a troubled young singer. While serving  under Odium, he was forced to do things he did not think were right, and eventually started to enjoy them- so on one fateful day, he deserted. He seems a bit Naive, and probably easily impressionable, but has a strong moral compass, and desperately wants to do good- but he hates refusing orders. 

Concept: A Broken skybreaker searching for what it means to be Just.

Motivation (Short & long term goal): Really, Khachah is searching for something to guide him- like Szeth was, he isn't sure what he's been doing with his life is right. He needs to feel useful, but also needs to reconcile his innermost desires to do justice, with the darker impulsive that have been entering his thoughts. 


Merits: 1/2/3

Major Merit: Skybreaker of the 2nd Ideal (He is not a Nale Skybreaker- his oaths have slightly different nuance)

Normal Merit 1: A good spearfighter and hand to hand combatant.

Normal Merit 2: Is currently attracting an Ashspren with his fight to control himself. 0th oath.

Minor: Warform

Minor: A surpsingly good cook

Minor: Is a singer. That's magic.

Flaws: He is not always in control- dark delights sometimes tempt him too much. That is a problem, obviously, with his desire to do good. It's a cycle of doing bad things, than attempting to make up for them. The agents of Retribution hunt him, and will kill him if given the chance. Khachah is bound by a personal code.

Code: (His oaths will build on this.
Justice is not the law- but the law is the first lens from which justice may be drawn. Understand a law before it broken.
I will kill only to save another life or end one's suffering.
My actions are my own, even when I was ordered. 

Relationships (Eg. Family and Friends): His Spren, 1392, is his constant companion.  1392 is also rather inexperinced, although he does still have an encyclopedic knowledge of the laws of Alleycity.  1392 and Khachah are closer than normal Highspren-skybreakers duos, more friends than master and apprentice. 
 

Spoiler

Name: 1392

Appearnce: A tear in the sky, revealing the outline of a glittering night sky. Appears to be the outline of a young man dressed in robes.

Personality: 1392 is a nervous highspren, who, like Khachah, wants to help people. He's worried for Khachah, especially that he might break down and shatter their bond

Home Planet: Roshar
Current Residence: He is renting a small room in the The Mistwarrens from a friend of a friend of 1392. It's not very nice, but the door locks, and the bed is long enough for his feet to not hang off.

Backstory:

Prior to the Rverstorm, Khachah was a slave to a cruel lighteyed Alethi. Khachah killed him, and does not regret it. From there, he joined with odium's army, but was startled by the cruelty. While some humans are surely evil, that does not mean all are.... but as a time went on, he grew hateful, and cruel, and that scared him. He found 1392 when he refused an order to burn down a house with children inside, his commander having sworn to the mayor to not harm anyone in the town. His rebellion left in the prison, where he swore the first oath. Once he was released, he fought for a bit longer, but realized his path would turn him into a monster. At 1392's prompting, he left in the middle of the night, and was able to hitch a ride via an oathgate into the CR. There, he witnessed the formation of Retribution, and wept, swearing to follow justice. He fled into the cognitive, and was lead by 1392 to Alleycity. 
Loose ends (What is unfinished in their life?): Retribution still hunts him.

Backstory: Genali'poonulah'likum'kai, or Kai for short, was born and raised in Alleyverse. A Gunsmith by trade, as it was his parent's before him, he owned a shop/his house, near where his childhood friend, Vincent lived. Vincent was a coinshot and a swordsman, and taught Kai the basics of swordplay. One night, Kai went to visit Vincent, when he found Vincent's door askew and heard shouts from within. Kai rushed inside to find 4 figures in cloaks, 1 lying in a pool of blood Vincent's sword stuck in his chest, in Vincent's bedroom. 2 held Vincent down, while the other Pounded a spike into Vincent. Kai yelled and tapped one of his steelminds, and dashed towards them, tackling the figure that had just ripped the spike out of Vincent's chest. Kai slammed the figure against the wall, he turned and raised one of his pistols and fired a shot into each of the others chests. Then he turned back and slammed the butt of the pistol into the other figure's head, cracking the skull. He turned and hugged Vincent's corpse, crying. He hears voices outside, and he looks out the window to see other figures like the others. He looks around, and grabs Vincent's mistcloak, and flees.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hates hemalurgy, and anyone spiked.

Flaws(maybe?): It doesn't matter who they are, what they do, how long they've had it, or wanted to in the first place, anyone who is spiked is evil and deserves to die.

[CoderDrag0n8 He/They]

Final character, just so no one has to go looking:

Spoiler

Name: Lux Textor
Appearance: A small kid with a shifting pattern on his sleeve, it moves in a fractal-like pattern. Ragged clothes, messy hair, dirt everywhere as if he’s been sleeping on the ground. Also wears a mistcloak but doesn’t hold themselves the same way a mistborn would.
Affiliations: Part of the Radiants, lived in Urithiru for a short while.
Human Personality: A shy kid who has gone through a lot of stuff, and isn’t really fazed by much anymore. Treats everyone as their equal, doesn’t bend to authority. Quite Introverted, but if you crack them out of their shell, they will imprint to you because they crave companionship. Is scared of conventional security, prefers places he knows, even if they might be more dangerous.
Spren Personality: Fractal has been with Lux through thick and skin. Fractal was there when Lux's life fell apart, Fractal was there when Lux swore his first Ideal. Fractal has become one of Lux's only companions. Fractal has the general cryptic vibe, and enjoys repeating patterns. However, Fractal would also do anything for Lux, as Fractal sees Lux as Fractal's responsibility, and even acts as a parental figure often. Fractal doesn't interact with many except Lux, but will give warnings to those he perceives as dangerous to Lux.
Concept: A lost child turned lightweaver.
Motivation (Short & long term goal): Lux desperately wants to find a friend, although he is wary of strangers. He wants to find his way back to his family, and get higher ideals as a Lightweaver.
Merits: Lux’s major merit is being a first ideal lightweaver. His normal merits are that he knows how to navigate the alleyways and adjust to it's constant change, and he is fairly skilled with knives. Lux knows how live on his own, without a stable income, how to sleep in the alleyways (without dying), and knows how to haggle.
Flaws: Not only is Lux a poor beggar, Lux has deeply repressed trauma (think dragonsteel main character) that will be a great impediment to his goals of becoming a better lightweaver, and finding his family.
Relationships (Eg. Family and Friends): Had 2 parents, and a few friends when he was living in Urithiru, but doesn’t expect to see them again. Os friends with a cryptic named Fractal.
Home Planet: Roshar, Urithiru. Was born somewhere around the end of RoW and the beginning of WaT. Parents never bothered to explain to their 1-8 year old child what exactly was happening, and only knows early RoW levels of history.
Current Residence: Sleeps in the Underground, spending his days in the Alleyways.
Backstory: Born to lightweaver and Windrunner parents, lived in Urithiru until he was 8. He made friends with a Cryptic named Fractal. His parents took him outside of Urithiru on a vacation, and he was mesmerized by the outside world. Whe staying the night in a hotel, it burned down, and he awaked in time to see 2 charred bodies in his parents bed. Running away, and getting trapped in the Alleyways, he repressed the sight of what he believed was his parents dead bodies. Thinking that his parents were still alive somewhere and mad at him for running away, he navigated his way through the alleyways and made his way to The Underground. He stayed in the Underground because he was too scared of city above, and ventured into the alleyways almost every day, becoming increasingly comfortable in it. One day, when he was 10, he got trapped in the Alleyways for days and was terrified. Through all the pain, he finally swore the first ideal, and was able to navigate the alleyways a bit better with his lightweaving. Bonded with his friend, Fractal, he the found a discarded mistcloak at the age of 11, and realized it made some things avoid him, not knowing the reason.
Loose ends (What is unfinished in their life?): Still believes parents are alive, although Fractal knows better.

Backstory: Genali'poonulah'likum'kai, or Kai for short, was born and raised in Alleyverse. A Gunsmith by trade, as it was his parent's before him, he owned a shop/his house, near where his childhood friend, Vincent lived.

Kai rushed inside to find 4 figures in cloaks, 1 lying in a pool of blood Vincent's sword stuck in his chest, in Vincent's bedroom. 2 held Vincent down, while the other Pounded a spike into Vincent. Kai yelled and tapped one of his steelminds, and dashed towards them, tackling the figure that had just ripped the spike out of Vincent's chest. Kai slammed the figure against the wall, he turned and raised one of his pistols and fired a shot into each of the others chests. Then he turned back and slammed the butt of the pistol into the other figure's head, cracking the skull. He turned and hugged Vincent's corpse, crying. He hears voices outside, and he looks out the window to see other figures like the others. He looks around, and grabs Vincent's mistcloak, and flees.

Hates hemalurgy, and anyone spiked.

Flaws(maybe?): It doesn't matter who they are, what they do, how long they've had it, or wanted to in the first place, anyone who is spiked is evil and deserves to die.

Spoiler

 

Name: Ebonaryle (Ebon)

Appearance: A male Nex-im (Husked One) Fused. Large and bulky, with mainly black and white patterns on his carapace and red streaks running down his arms and legs. Dark spiked protrusions extend from his arms and shoulders. Medium length black hair kept in braids. Carries around a set of simple drab robes for clothing, but is often left nude by his powers and is happy living this way.

Affiliations: Previously a high ranking member of Odium’s army. Now unaffiliated, but happy to work with others to achieve his goals.

Personality: Deeply intelligent and philosophical. Joined Odium because of his vision of order in the Cosmere; after his epiphany, he struggles with identifying who he is. Finding meaning is one of the important quests in his life. He treats others with respect, so long as they show him the same respect. Not overtly violent, but prepared to defend himself. Struggles to make deep relationships, but will fight for those he cares about. Honorable, you could say (a little ironic for a servant of Odium). Struggles with self-doubt and hate.

Concept: An immortal warrior who has lost his purpose in life.

Motivation:

Short term: Get a place to live, make allies

Mid term: Recover the research, find Silverlight and deliver it

Long term: Find purpose, make peace with himself, make a life in Alleycity?

Merits:

Minor: Good brawler, experienced strategist, authoritative voice (natural leader)

Normal: Healing from voidlight, skilled fighter with knives (currently wields a pair of stolen obsidian knives that he carries through transportations by stabbing them into his flesh, thus making them part of his body), can fight with carapace but prefers not to

Major: Fused surge of transportation, can be used four times before needing a recharge

Flaws: Homeless, has no allies, faces severe internal conflict that holds him back, definitely a little crazy but surprisingly sane for all of his suffering

Relationships: No meaningful relationships; once followed Odium blindly, but now harbors animosity towards him

Home planet: Roshar

Current residence: Wanders the streets of the Mistwarrens with his few possessions, struggling to find work or housing in more respectable districts for his appearance

Backstory: 

Ebonaryle grew up different. He could never enjoy the same pleasures as other children; his thoughts were not of games or romance, but of meaning and philosophy. The idea of randomness, of life and death without meaning, terrified him, and he sought to find order in all existence. When Odium rose, Ebon saw him as a savior. His devotion and ability soon gained him a high ranking position in Rayse’s forces.

For millennia, desolation after desolation, Ebon fought for Odium with unwavering faith. Or so he believed; deep inside, the strain of time was beginning to drive him insane. He grew more hateful, each mission picking away at his morals. He never made friends after the beginning, and began to see everyone around him as lesser than him.

After the final desolation, the thousands of years in damnation finally caused made him snap. For an eternity, he suffered alone, the pathetic epitome of the meaninglessness and wretchedness that the younger him had once feared. In this darkest moment, he hated himself with a burning rage, and wished for nothing more than to be allowed the mercy of oblivion.

Eventually, an epiphany hit him. He could not continue to exist in this way. He could not continue to live in madness, when it was the coward’s way out. His story could not, would not, end like this. Not after all he had sacrificed. For thousands of years, he had allowed his selfishness and rage to steer him away from the dreams of his younger self. This realization, that his life’s work had all been meaningless, nearly broke him more than his madness. But he did what he had done his whole life; he endured.

After his epiphany, Ebon spent his days vigorously planning a way out should they return to Roshar; he did not allow his mind a break, for he feared regressing to the monster he had once accepted as himself. When the Everstorm came, he was assigned as defender of a specialized, top secret research squad dedicated by Odium to the study of the sciences of the Cosmere. This through a hitch in Ebon’s plans; he had prepared to escape, but the research intrigued him and so he chose to stay for a while.

Eventually, the researchers made a major breakthrough that threatened Odium. At around the events of Rhythm of War, a Fused kill squad suddenly appeared in the middle of night to terminate the operation. Ebon was expected to submit; but instead, as the scientists were slaughtered, he grabbed as much of the research as he could and fled.

Once safe, he read the research. While he could not understand most of it, he realized it’s massive implications and a single name highlighted throughout the text: Silverlight. Silverlight, whoever it was (he assumed it to be a person) could help him figure out what to do with this research. Not knowing where to find them, he began to make his way to Urithiru.

One night as he made camp, Ebon was suddenly assaulted by a group of masked assailants wielding various forms of investiture. He did his best to put up a fight, but was eventually overpowered and knocked out. He later awoke in an alley (a literal one, not a portal) in the Mistwarrens, stripped entirely of his possessions and clothing.

Since then, he has wandered Alleycity, amazed by its technology, and causing quite a stir for his unique appearance. He searches for those who left him this way, and plans to enact his revenge among them and complete his mission.

In Era 8, Ebon established an alliance of sorts with local crime lord Perses.

(Sorry if that got a little long)

Loose ends: He still craves purpose in life, and seeks to recover the research and settle his inner conflict
