Cheese United he/him Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 The Shard of Unattractiveness. The Uglier you are, the more you can Invest. Oh, and Investiture makes you glow. I don't know what that will do to the attractiveness of someone Ugly. Oooooh man. Remind me not to move there anytime soon.Also: the Shard of bad ideas. The worse you're idea is, the more power you get. Teens guys aged 14-19 tend to the most Invested 2
Lord Tavash Shar Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 I just thought of a horrifying enough one. The Shard of /b/Its a reality troll giving powers to all the wrong people for all the wrong things. Meme's are clearly the focus of the shards power.
Cheese United he/him Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) 50 Shards of Grey. /runs *Darth Vader walks onto the screen, picks up a mic, and draws a breath* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! (Becuase I'm too lazy to find the gif right now) Edited March 2, 2015 by WeiryWriter because that screws up the forum every time I open this thread 4
Slater he/him Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 The Shard of Snark. The more sarcastic you are the stronger your magic is. It's Holder is Chandler Bing the only man capable of beating Wit in a Snark off. 1
Guest Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 The Shard of Memes. Its focus is the popularity of any given meme that someone says or writes. Its number is anything over 9000.
Shaggai Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 The Shard of Memes. Its focus is the popularity of any given meme that someone says or writes. Its number is anything over 9000. dank shard bro
Winterdawn al'Lerlie she/her Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 The Shard of Single Socks. Power is correlated to unmatched socks whose partners have been lost to the depths of laundry. 4
Sirce Luckwielder he/him Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 The Shard of Confusion. People don't know why they get powers and the powers never make sense. The Shard of Enigma. The more you hide your power, the stronger it is. The Shard of Dyslexia. Phones with autocorrect will be the most heavily Invested. The Shard of Awkwardness. Teenagers going through puberty are the most heavily Invested. 5
Guest Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Shard of Paradox. You only get magic when you don't.
Shaggai Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Shard of Paradox. You only get magic when you don't. Shard of Paradox Games. You get Investiture from having good borders.
Xaladin he/him Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) Shard of Forgetfulness: Anyone can Invest, but they forget why they wanted to when they do, so the only people who Invest end up doing some random stuff with their powers. Shard of Randomness: This as an Intent is actually a paradox if you think about it. Edited February 8, 2015 by Xaladin
vineyarddawg Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Shard of Weak Movie-Science Cliches: When this shard hits 88 miles per hour, you're going to see some serious... uh, crem. 5
Starspren Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Shard of limitation. When your options are limitet you get powers, so you aren't limited anymore so you loose them. Shard of reading-cosmere-books: You only get powers while reading Cosmere books.
Xaladin he/him Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 The Shard of Underestimation. This Shard actually wouldn't be bad; actually, I think it would be pretty cool. So this is how it works: When you underestimate your opponent, you get access to the Shard's power. This triggers a chain reaction, since this now means that your opponent has underestimated you. So every fight is the kind where you keep one-upping each other. That would result in epic fights (the cliche kind, except there would be a legitimate explanation for it beyond plot device). 2
Paragrin she/her Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 No, I think that's the Shard of Losing you're talking about...
Redbird he/him Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 So did the Shard of Underestimation invest on planet Vegeta? 4
happyman he/him Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 The Shard of Single Socks. Power is correlated to unmatched socks whose partners have been lost to the depths of laundry. In such a world, I would be god. Or at least my laundry basket would be.
Eilemelie Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 The Shard of Bland Food - its world is NOT renowned for its cuisine!
Shard of Adonalsium Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Shard of Capitalism. "Give me your money." "What do we get in return?" "Survival." 2
Paragrin she/her Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 The Shard of Memes - objects or people become more heavily Invested depending on how memetic they are. Right now, whoever owns that dress would be the most powerful being on the planet. (And its color would become truly unknowable.) 1
KamorianKandra he/him Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Laziness would be pretty bad. If you sit around doing nothing you get powers. You just can't really do anything with them.
Xaladin he/him Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Laziness would be pretty bad. If you sit around doing nothing you get powers. You just can't really do anything with them. Actually, I could see this as a very dangerous Shard. Nobody who should be in power would be in power. What does a tyrant do? He rules with the sole purpose being his own comfort. Exactly what a Lazy person wants to do. If I am lazy and have power, I am going to use the power to serve myself without even having to get up! This will make me even Lazier, and I could use the power to force others to do for me what I want them to do (which might also prevent them from challenging my power). I don't know. It certainly classifies as a "bad Shard idea." 1
natc Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 You bring up a good point that the shard intent often exerts a cultural influence as well. Everyone would be lazy. With that said imagine Lust.
