Xaladin he/him Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 My legitimacy is dubious Power is but a tool; only those in possession of it understand My commander instructs me to harm those close to me Sometimes I obey My savior was also my bane 2
Xaladin he/him Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Good old Zane, he wasn't actually mad. That's right.
Topomouse he/him Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) I have three talents that distinguish me form all my peers. The first is dangerous, for it brings terrible beings. The second is maddening, for it gives me knowledge of what others do that even they don't possess. The third is still a secret, and may never be revealed. Thanks to the first one I get food but not gold, and everyday the second one tortures me with what my companions do. Because of that I want to stop risking my life and go collect what is precious and light but he who wants the gold and she who searches for something don't want me to. So I escaped, but again I risked my life because of the first. This character should be pretty hard to guess, so I tried to give a lot of informations. Let's see how it goes.

Curiosity he/him Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Shallan? I really like this thread and specifically this boast. Mmmmmm...cryptic.
Topomouse he/him Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Thanks Curiosity, but unfortunately you are wrong... ...Because Dankworth got it right,good job! 1
Dankworth he/him Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) I am a servant to the ghostly lord of perdition, And the son of a dead god who reviled Xanadu. In a sepulchral land of torment and wretched melancholy, Where a mountain of gold has not worth to purchase a grain of wheat, And forever echo the mournful chants of the accursed, In this dark Golgotha I walked with confidence and surety, Knowing each turn and step from ancient memory. Among provincial peasants I was a learned sage; Among the moonstruck and the moldering, The voice of reason and common sense. Now beyond the rebirth of great soul's light I hunt the immortal hawk through quiet seas. Edited April 4, 2015 by Dankworth 3
Dankworth he/him Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) Yep, Galladon. I expected this one to be figured out immediately, it was pretty obvious. I am a servant to the ghostly lord of perdition, (He serves Raoden, who becomes "Lord Spirit," leader of Elantris) And the son of a dead god who reviled Xanadu. (His father was an Elantrian, a "god," who hated living in Elantris, which everyone else thought of as paradise.) In a sepulchral land of torment and wretched melancholy, (Elantris is a sort of tomb for the "dead" Elantrians after the Reod, where they suffer and despair in isolation from the rest of the world.) Where a mountain of gold has not worth to purchase a grain of wheat, (The only thing that the Elantrians want is food; everything else is worthless to them--a few grains are worth more than all the gold in Shaor's bank.) And forever echo the mournful chants of the accursed, (The Hoed are everywhere, always chanting their mantras of agony.) In this dark Golgotha I walked with confidence and surety, Knowing each turn and step from ancient memory. (He knows his way through the city because he grew up there, even if he stayed away his whole adult life until the Shaod hit him.) Among provincial peasants I was a learned sage; (He lived as a farmer most of his adult life, and stood out from other farmers because of how educated he was after life in Elantris.) Among the moonstruck and the moldering, The voice of reason and common sense. (The "moonstruck" is Raoden because it means both crazy--"You're kayana, sule!"--and lovesick, which Raoden becomes during Sarene's time in Elantris, which Galladon points out to him: "A two-headed ferrin would never leave its nest". The "moldering" are all Elantrians, who almost seem to rot as they live. Galladon was always the voice of reason when Raoden was making plans.) Now beyond the rebirth of great soul's light (This refers to the restoration of Elantris, a gigantic Aon Rao, the symbol for souls and spiritual things.) I hunt the immortal hawk through quiet seas. (The "immortal hawk" is Hoid, who is older than the Shards--in their present state of existence, anyway--and is described as having "hawkish features." The "quiet seas" refer to the Purelake, where Galladon was seen searching for Hoid.) Edited April 5, 2015 by Dankworth 2
Paragrin she/her Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 I tried to write one of these... it sucked. If anyone has one they want to post, go ahead!
Sirce Luckwielder he/him Posted April 5, 2015 Author Posted April 5, 2015 It doesn't need to be this intricate. Try your best and you'll eventually get better.
Sirce Luckwielder he/him Posted April 7, 2015 Author Posted April 7, 2015 I'm just going to write one up. It's been too long. I am but a copy of perfection. Living in a shadow without end. While I understand myself with clarity, I am my own antithesis. 1
Sirce Luckwielder he/him Posted April 7, 2015 Author Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) No, it is not Harmony. I didn't realize how good he fits though. Nice guess. Edited April 7, 2015 by Sirce Luckwielder
Topomouse he/him Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Vasher? Since he is both Kalad and Peacegiver.
Sirce Luckwielder he/him Posted April 8, 2015 Author Posted April 8, 2015 Nope. Not Vasher. Good guess though.
Sirce Luckwielder he/him Posted April 8, 2015 Author Posted April 8, 2015 No. After the next guess I'll give you a hint.
Sirce Luckwielder he/him Posted April 11, 2015 Author Posted April 11, 2015 Not Nightblood. Here is a hint: it's not Cosmere.
