Cosmere City: Worldbuilding thread


Recommended Posts

Just a question. I'd like to play, but I'm still not sure what the rules are, exactly. I checked, the Sanderson Elimination rules, but they don't seem to apply to this, seeing as we know who the bad guys are. Is there going to be a 'Rules thread' sometime in the future?

My character's name is Turos.

He is a Lurcher/Gasper.

He wears a belt which has a few pouches attached, each filled with steel rock-climbing anchors. He also carries a steel clawed hammer, a couple flares, and a non-metallic slingshot on the belt, with straps to keep them secure. The flares have metal caps crimped on the free ends, and are attached from belt loops. When torn free, they ignite. In addition to these, he has a hundred feet of climbing cord.

He wears a red-and-black tiger-striped wingsuit and has two bands of cadmium that fit snugly around his hands like brass knuckles, which he has painted with red and black stripes on the backs. The paint has begun to scratch off in places. His wingsuit has exterior pouches to carry pill-shaped pieces of iron. The belt is secured to the back of his suit with straps, and it can be undone easily to allow the 'wing' membranes to open. He also has a spare black wingsuit in a pouch on the belt. He wears hiking shoes without studs. As a last resort, he carries a parachute attached to a single climbing anchor.

Turos is a bit of an adrenaline junky. He is a base-jumper, but he does it in his own way, using his allomancy to redirect his falls, even swinging upwards for dramatic landings on distant rooftops. He's broken several bones, and likely will break more. He has gone scuba diving without a breathing aparatus, and almost died from the Bends.

My character is named Mist. She is a sparker/tineye twinborn.

 

Due to her sparking abilities (that means something completely different in the Reckonerverse) she gets impatient easily. She wears a brown coat that reaches to her knees. Always.

 

She is addicted to chocolate and always has a bar or two in her inside coat pocket.

 

Blonde hair tied in a ponytail. Hazel-y eyes that kinda change depending on the lighting.

 

She experiments with different hats, but nearly always finds them frustrating and gets rid of them.

My character is a black sheep of the group. Very little is known about him, and is called simply 'the Bard'.

 

He is an informant. He will exchange one piece of useful information in exchange for a piece of equally useful information. Money seems to be of no consequence to him. His regular sanctum in Ashe(in addition to numerous bolt-holes), are very easily defensible. He has a Perfect Life Sense from his Breath, making it almost impossible for people to catch him unawares.

 

He has also been known to work as a fence, occasionally. He can easily tell whether a painting is fake with his his 3rd Heightening.

 

There are no known people who have any sort of relationship with the Bard beyond the professional.

Wayne understands emphatically. You just can't work with a hat that isn't lucky.

Tusurker Neothused is a willshaper from roshar, who instead of abandoning his shardblade and shardplate on the Day of Recreance- instead took them with him as he escaped the planet to try and outrun his troubles. Despite breaking his pact, Tusurker begrudgingly vowed to return in order to fulfill his oath in order to save his spren from certain death. After a lifetime of running, Tusurker discovered the Cosmere City- an outpost for people across the universe. Amazed by his discovery, Tusurker quickly immersed himself with the locals- getting to know its inhabitants, and doing odd jobs using his powers for quick cash. He's been living in the city for about three years. 

 

Tusurker wears a long dark green cloak over his white shardplate, and uses a red bandana to hold back his long black hair. His spren is called Etne, who takes the form form of a ghostly white rabbit- and he has taken his five "oaths" through him. Although, they were not really oaths- more changes to himself that he had to recognize or manipulate in order to grasp his true self, the same way a lightweaver needs to overcome their inner darkness in order to use their powers. Tusurker is a master at manipulating the surges of transportation and cohesion.

 

That's all you need to know for now, see ya'll Monday ^-^

Will be in and out today, updating this with characters.

Resool [main] | Terris Feruchemist

Resool looks like your general Terrisman-abnormally tall, bald, wearing the robes of a steward. He has sharp blue eyes with a rather scrawny build-not unhealthy, just incredibly thin and weak looking. He wears six metalminds on his arms, copper, pewter, and brass on his right arm and steel, iron, and gold on his left. His bronze and zinc metalminds are worn as necklaces, and he has five tin rings, each for the senses. He wears copper earrings.

Like most Terrismen, Resool is quite passive, patient and gentle. He is the langauge Keeper, able to speak and communicate in hundreds of languages fluently. He is a quick study and catches on fast, and is very good with people, especially those younger than him. He tends to take a rather "fatherly" appearance.

Yaundal | Hazekiller

[bio will go here yo]

Windchaser the Kind, the God of Friendship | Returned

[bio will go here yo]

Dreamsinger the Wise, the Goddess of Teaching | Returned

[bio will go here yo]

I think Turos will be happy to work with anybody willing to make things interesting. He hasn't let loyalty mess with his decision making process... yet.

 

As for Hugh, I think I'll help get the ball rolling.

If you want more of a coherent anti-crime organization going, you could have Kaythus set up an official group, as a lord. Each person would be in it for a different reason.

 

The Bard would join as the 'favour' he owes (to Kaythus, if we do this).

Turos would join for the adrenaline rush.

Tusurker would join so he can stay in Cosmere City and away from Roshar a little longer. (Though he wouldn't admit it, of course).

Resool would join because... he feels loyal to the cause??? (Is this wildly inaccurate, Lark?)

Mist would join, so... I have no idea. Any suggestions?

 

If we aren't doing this, that's fine too. I just think it might work.

 

EDIT: Also, isn't Ven, a.k.a. Mistkiller the bad guy? Who is Arcus?

Perhaps Cleo could try to kidnap the hemulargist because she noticed that he had some power she wanted and thought it was natural. Then they team up?

The Hemalurgist is someone you do not want to fight.

I'll use Resool, and I'll make his post tomorrow.

If anyone wants to be with him please tell me.

Great.

Good. I see a lot of stuff revolving around Amben. My plan is to have Kaythus's son lead a strike team to Ambens shop.

 Maybe. I don't see him being too thick in the action, though. 

Can Mist go with him? They'd probably get along well, judging from his bio.

Sure. Let me post for him now. c:

Yeah sure... I guess it is up to you guys. Our ultimate objective is to form as a team and fight Investiture related evil. Maybe some of you could already be partners and go hunting Ven.. That would be intresting. Suggestions?

So Ven's bad?  If so, Kreoh would like to team up with him.
