High prince of geeks he/him Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Okay, Rayse has become basically the physical embodiment of hate when he becomes the shardhorder for Odium. And we also know that a shards purpose shapes peoples personalities. Here is the question, what does he hate. Himself, everyone else. only things he hasn't created. Is he an Omnicidal Maniac?
Arook he/him Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) I think everything but could be he has some particular issue with the other shards. Edited May 26, 2015 by Arook
KamorianKandra he/him Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Actually, he only hates chulls. It's just the way they move.*shudder* No, I think he hates everything just as Ruin wants to ruin everything. 1
CHOUTAGOD he/him Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 " Odio " Spanish for hate. Hate is an extreme result for anger. Anger is a result of things not going how you would like. The real question is what did Andolansium want that it never got. My bet is on a taco... nobody steals my taco!!! NOBODY I SAY!!!! 2
Kobold King he/him Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Allow me to express my Odium headcanon in my native tongue: adorable cat memes. Odium is hatred. Like Ruin, he has become the conscious vessel of a single overwhelming emotion, the complete hatred and loathing of all things in existence. He hates chulls. He hates sticks. He hates Roshar. He hates the other Shards. He hates the Cosmere. He hates it when Hoid steals his Nutella and galavants across the Cosmere with it. For that matter, he hates Hoid and the Nutella both equally. He hates everything. He quite probably hates himself just as much. That's just my headcanon, so I may be wrong. Still interesting to think about... 5
KamorianKandra he/him Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 That would be an interesting character trait if he hated himself for being so full of hate, as if he hated hatred itself, and wished he could be a better person... er, shard.
Esaias he/him Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 "Preservation, as a Shard, is about preserving life, people, and the like. Not about self. No more than Ruin is about destroying self, or Cultivation is about growing herself." http://www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/comments/k0fp8/iama_professional_fantasy_novelist_named_brandon/c2gkc70 I don't believe Odium hates himself, based on this quote. It's likely that he hates everything else though. 2
DreamEternal Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) Nice WoB. Does that mean that Honor didn't need to be honorable himself? That could explain why the heralds felt cheated by the oathpact. Edited May 26, 2015 by CognitivePulsePattern 1

blad3mast3r he/him Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 he hates skies of blue, and clouds of white..... 1
High prince of geeks he/him Posted May 28, 2015 Author Posted May 28, 2015 Another question is how does he justify this hate, does he feel like he has a reason or does he just like "THIS FLOWER ANGERS ME!!!!!!!!!!" All day every day
