+Slowswift Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 So, the whole light/darkeyes thing is fascinating to me. I've always wondered what drew the line. Do your eyes have to be extremely light, or just a bright color? How dark do your eyes have to be to be considered darkeyed? And how do the genetics work? Is it the same as here on earth, or different? I've noticed that people have light yellow or violet eyes on Roshar. ...anyways, what about you? Are you darkeyed or lighteyed? 1
gbazz4 he/him Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 I have light blue eyes...so if i was a KR i guess that means i am a Windrunner...Kaladin...Syl! Where are you guys? We have some flying to do! 1
DreamEternal Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) In Roshar eyes only seem to come in "almost black" and "gemstone light" varieties, so I guess people with intermediary colors just plain don't fit in the vorin social system, and if a number of them appeared the ardents would start a assembly to decide their position.

Shard of Adonalsium Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Mud brown. Guess who's binding a Spren tonight?
Kestrel she/her Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 I don't know. Kinda hazely but too dark to be lighteyes but too light to be darkeyes depending on the light its in?? 1
emilylime she/her Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Well, I have blue eyes, but they're not as light as I imagine lighteyes being... But definitely not darkeyed. So I just voted lighteyed. 2
Guest Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Lighteyed right now, but that could change tomorrow. As for how Lighteyed vs Darkeyed works? My feeling is that all Rosharan's are DNA-Darkeyed, and the Lighteyed trait is an sDNA alteration caused by Spren that is Hereditary.
Shadowspren he/him Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) I am colourblind so I pretty much base the colour of my eyes on what people tell me, which is that I have pale blue/green/grey eyes... which from what I can see think that I would be a lighteyes When I asked my Darkeyed friend what he thought about WoK the conversation went a little like this "There's only one reason I wouldn't want to live on Roshar" "What's that?" "It's a reason that you wouldn't mind so much... because you are a lighteyes" Edited June 3, 2015 by Zaci-chan
Left he/him Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 My eyes are light blue with a very nice ring of green close to the center, so I would definitely be a lighteyes. They may not be super bright, but they're still the right colors and somewhat bright, especially with the right tie on.
ljósmóður she/her Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 I'm light-eyed but more Vedan than Alethi (blue eyes, pale skin, lots of freckles and red-brown hair) Some Horneater blood in there too which might explain why I like stew. 1
Curious Anamaximder he/him Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Venture Mistborn opened his eyes. Swirls of color, red, green, opal, blue. Twists of brown, curls of amber. He blinked. And the world shook.
Bort he/him Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 I selected Lighteyes, although I'm pretty borderline. My eyes are a sort of hazelly-green colour. 1
The Honor Spren she/her Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) I have light blue eyes...so if i was a KR i guess that means i am a Windrunner...Kaladin...Syl! Where are you guys? We have some flying to do!I'm right over here Kaladin! Edited June 3, 2015 by The Honor Spren 3
Mistrunner Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Wellll... In WoR, it's said that light brown (tan) eyes are considered light, but what about very dark blue eyes? That's what mine are. Very dark blue, though some people say they're green in certain lighting. So, no idea.
The Honor Spren she/her Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 I selected Lighteyes, although I'm pretty borderline. My eyes are a sort of hazelly-green colour. Ugh, me too. I guess you could say I'm a half breed. My dad is light bluey-gray; my mom is a dark hazel. . .
DreamEternal Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Except, as I said before, Roshar doens't have any eye color that isn't almost black or gemstone light, so you would be a worldhopper without an disguise. My eyes are hazel, with more green than brown, so I would need eyedrops to go unnoticed.
gbazz4 he/him Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Really in this day and age anyone can be either darkeyes or lighteyes...thank you color contact lenses!
Redbird he/him Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 According to the poll, there are more lighteyes, interesting.
Sarcasm she/her Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Miserable fakes taking advantage of their social station... My eyes are so dark that you can barely see the pupil... very very very dark brown. But, of course. that changes when I summon my Shardfork whenever I eat chouta... 4
DreamEternal Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Bah. Everyone knows chouta is eaten with bare fingers. 2
apepi Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Brown eyes here. I do remember during Kaladin's eyes was talked about being lighter than the king's/etc was.
