Sculpur Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Shard of Mustaches This has sooo much potential! The mustache's styling determines what powers you get, and its thickness and length determine the potency. Some stylings are hard to maintain if your mustache is very thick, so lots of raw power isn't always beneficial. The focus of combat would be to damage your opponent's upper lip. The shardworld would be mostly male-dominated society, understandably, apart from the rare women who are born with facial hair - and thus are considered chosen for greatness. Hair dressers who do facial hair would be extremely well respected, revered, and would have famous masters of the art among them. Depending on the level of their technology, the forbidden art of transplanting mustache hair from someone else could exist - by forse, or for a hefty compensation - and would be a way to modify your spirit web. Women would use it as an only way to gain real power. Also, shaping mustaches out of your other hair and body hair could offer minimal extra benefits - because these structers would be vaguely reminiscent of mustaches. 5
connormce10 he/him Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Shard of Pop-up ads: Every time you Invest, an advertisement obstructs your vision, and the only way to get rid of it is to stop Investing. 2

Hemalurgy would be really screwy on this Shardworld, as you'd have to figure out ways to drive the spike into your upper lip bind points, but without having it interfere with the overall style.
Guest Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Shard of Itchiness. A planet where scratching yourself can cause a war or assassinate a king, and itching powder is a must-have for any emergency kit. Shard of Sneezing & Shard of Allergies. Ragweed is a weapon of war!
Redbird he/him Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Shard of Sneezing & Shard of Allergies. Ragweed is a weapon of war! Isn't it already? 2
Redbird he/him Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Good point... *attempts magic* It's a regional system, like on Sel, so it works best in the south.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 It's a regional system, like on Sel, so it works best in the south. In places like Arizona, it seems like the Shard of Allergies just wants to kill everyone. 2
Guest Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Shard of Disinterest. You have virtually UNLIMITED power, so long as you don't take an interest in using it.
Redbird he/him Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Shard of Disinterest. You have virtually UNLIMITED power, so long as you don't take an interest in using it. Alternate name: Shard of Meh. 2
Surgebound Rainspren he/him Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 "oh no, the dragon is attacking, please help us o' warrior" scream the peasants "maybe tomorrow" replies the warrior climbing but into bed. 1
Xaladin he/him Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 "oh no, the dragon is attacking, please help us o' warrior" scream the peasants "maybe tomorrow" replies the warrior climbing but into bed. Maybe the warrior can fight the dragon in his dreams. That would be fun. But perhaps that is the Shard of Dreams.
natc Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Shard of Absolutes. You either have absolute power or you get nothing. Since the shardholder still lives nothing gets invested ever. 4
Unodus he/him Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Shard of Absolutes. You either have absolute power or you get nothing. Since the shardholder still lives nothing gets invested ever. what happens if the shard of absolutes is splintered? Would it splinter absolutely? :3 1
natc Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 I guess they either cause the investiture equivalent of heat death or they smash into the next closest shard and fuse?
Redbird he/him Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Shard of Absolutes. You either have absolute power or you get nothing. Since the shardholder still lives nothing gets invested ever. Basically the Shard of the Sith, since they only deal in absolutes. 3
Xaladin he/him Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) Basically the Shard of the Sith, since they only deal in absolutes. Exactly. Too bad it isn't May the 4th anymore for that post. Edited May 6, 2015 by Xaladin
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Basically the Shard of the Sith, since they only deal in absolutes. ….and since Obi-Wan is the one who said it, he's a Sith. How about Shard of Lucas? The first three people to get powers are completely amazing and change the course of history and legends for years to come. The next three are so lame they almost undo the awesome things their predecessors accomplished, so almost everyone pretends they don't exist. Then along comes the seventh, a person of unknown power and intent, and the world holds its breath, praying they will walk in the footsteps of the first three and try to undo the disasters caused by the next three…. 2
AerionBFII he/him Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Lust... Oh wait, id love to visit that Shard world......Sounds more fun than Braize anyway....
Guest Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Shard of "I'll do it tomorrow" Allows you to store various abilities for later use. . . Wait... . . SO THAT'S WHERE FERUCHEMY COMES FROM!
natc Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Shard of "I'll do it tomorrow" Allows you to store various abilities for later use. . . Wait... . . SO THAT'S WHERE FERUCHEMY COMES FROM! So Allomancy is getting external power to avoid expending your own: Preservation Hemalurgy is tearing someone's soul and power out and attaching the decayed remains to someone else: Ruin Feruchemy; store own power for later, basically unable to do anything significant while storing: Harmony (in effect), the most inactive shard ever. He literally avoids doing things. It all makes sense. 1
Fatel28 Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Shard of social anxiety. You only get powers if you cant bring yourself to ask for them. 3
ParadoxicalZen he/him Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) Shard of Murphy's Law Shard of the Knights who say Nii/Ni/Nee/Nih Edited July 18, 2015 by ParadoxSpren 4
