nicocoberru Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) Exactly what the title states. If, let's just say, you are given the ability to choose what kind of misting you would be, what would you choose? And why? I'd love to be a Mistborn, but that would be cheating. So, I guess, I'd love to be a Leecher. Strip all my enemy of their Allomantic Powers and then it's all down to skills. Of course, that just means that I would need to practice fighting, but I'd take it. Actually, that raises a question. Wonder how well Allomancers would hold out on a fight without any of their metals. My second choice would be a Nicroburst. Edit:Why isn't the poll appearing??

Zathoth Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Rioter. Ive never been much of a fighter anyway, better to lightly nudge people in the direction you want them to go. I could make my concerts more enjoyable and just have really fun playing with peoples emotions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RippleGylf Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 I think I'd like to be a Slider. More time to read books do homework. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kynedath Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 I'd have to say coinshot. I just love the prospect of being able to fly through the air with barely a thought. It's what I've based my life off of. I am going to fly fighters in the military eventually, but for now I have to live with Cessna's and Mooney's. Anyways, if I had to choose, then I'd absolutely choose one of the most overpowered mistings out there. Although in reality, I have a feeling that with my luck, I'd stumble over my words so much that you would hear "gnart plezz" and think I said gnat please. Shameless self-promotion time!!! Take a misting quiz and find out what kind of misting you would be based on your personality!! http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/45905-project-1-misting-quiz/ yay!

Patar Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Surprised nobody has said atium misting. I think being able to see into the future, even just a little bit, would be super cool. Imagine how much fun it would be to mess with people's heads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kynedath Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Ya but imagine how expensive it would be starting out. I mean honestly, it costs a fortune just to get 5 minutes worth. Yes you could use yours to get more, but you would have to plan your raids on people you know absolutely have more than you use to get it. All that planning isn't worth it to me.

Landis963 Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Coinshot or Tineye. In that order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yata Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Steel or Iron, the "metal sense" is quite cool, but probably Steel is better by the "moviment" applications. Also if without Iron the Steel alone isn't enough for the Mistborn's movements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTheSeamonster Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Hmm. Seer. But if we're talking Wax and Wayne period, then a Thug or a Coinshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Hoodie Mistborn Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Tough tossup between Coinshot and Thug... I'd love the mobility and combat capabilities of the Coinshot. Also can you imagine being a Coinshot while driving and someone is about to hit you? Thug I'd love for the enhanced physical speed/stamina/strength/durability.

bluepotion Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 I would choose to be a Leecher, against other metal born I would always be able to get the upper hand (well if I trained myself enough first). My second choice would be soother, mostly because Breeze is just so beautifully manipulative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucephalus Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Nicrosil. I'd be able to overload my enemies' systems, if they're mistings, or I'd be able to work as a type of support fellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormcrown Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) I'm torn between a Rioter or a Slider. Speed-bubbles could have a ton of benefit to them. Especially with my tendency to procrastinate. But Rioting emotions seems like would have the largest benefit to my life. I don't think I'd like to type of person I would become if I could control other people's emotions. Edited October 13, 2015 by Stormcrown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightGradient Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 I think being a Soother or Rioter would be awesome. Being able to manipulate the emotions of those around me would be awesome. Plus, zinc and brass are actually easy to get in the modern day world, so I wouldn't have to go so far to get my metals.

Kadrok Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) Lurcher. Opening doors, picking things up, walking around with marginally less effort because I'm tugging on the metal around me. On a daily basis I am met with situations that leave me thinking Allomantic Iron would have made this better. That's not even considering Ironsight, or the limited flight (if I were more interested in flight I would have been more tempted by Steel, but as I am not, I prefer being able to pull things towards me). The thing about being a Lurcher is that you kind of build your life around it. You put metal in the spines of your books so you can pull them off the shelf. You design the doors of your house to swing both ways so no matter what direction you approach them from you can pull them open, and then pull them closed on the way through. Your dwelling's walls and roof have a sturdy Iron frame so you can levitate around your house. Being a Lurcher is the definition of controlling your environment to make life cooler. It takes a bit more set up than Steel, but you can do more with it. EDIT: If you wanted to be slightly more diabolical, you could have hidden levers in the walls to activate traps. I also had some ideas for Lurcher steering wheels for cars, and suchlike. Edited October 13, 2015 by Kadrok 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvers Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Allomantic pewter also helps with "health" concerns and toughness not just speed dexterity and strength. So if you like sports you'd be one of the best in the world with a bit of practice, if your into call of duty your dexterity and reflexes would give you a huge advantage. Coinshot is a close second but I'm imagining this power irl, if you go to the mistborn world and had to pick a power, maybe coinshot is better. Slider and Nicroburst (maybe make a lot of allomancer friends) are up there too in usefulness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platysaur Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 A thug. I love having increased strength, speed, detoxification, and all the other perks. It just seems the most useful, but that could be said about most of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hood Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 I'd rather be a feruchemist. Though, if that isn't an option, a coinshot would be my choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertigo 1 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 I would probably like to be a slider, assuming that the rules for the MAG are accurate in saying that the radius of the bubble is twenty-five feet. if its not then I would be... a tineye.

rabidhexley Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) Being a pulser could be pretty sweet, if inconvenient. You can travel into the future. Easily live for hundreds of years if you don't mind skipping a lot of stuff, and have the metal. Or just skip a few minutes/hours if you don't feel like waiting for something for whatever reason. The uses might be limited, but traveling through time appeals to me. A thug, the physiological/health benefits alone, feel great whenever you want to, don't have to worry about being laid up from minor injuries. Enhanced strength and agility are a big bonus. A coinshot, because who doesn't want to fly? There's awesome stuff for a bunch of them, but those are the main ones to me.
