iwillsearchthenight Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 I'm Lou, I read books and don't afraid of anything So Scadrial's supposed to have a couple different trilogies with different time periods, right? With progressing technology levels alongside a more seasoned scientific approach to Allomancy and the like. Have we spent much time considering what those later tech levels are going to be like? Because I was just struck by inspiration. What if in the future, Lurchers and Coinshots became even more mobile? With technology as simple as springs and rollerskates, their ability to move along metal anchors would increase to absurd speeds. Like parkour, but with even MORE flagrant disregard for gravity! In the Wax and Wayne side-series, we've seen Wax use bullets as anchors mid-jump to change his trajectory. An Ironpuller could literally have a hookshot- all it has to retract is the weight of the rope, because they'd be pulling themselves. I'm sure you've seen those videos of magnetic goo– a Steelpusher could use that as an anchor on almost any surface without it slipping, and as Vin demonstrated back in the first trilogy you can use something as small as an earring as an anchor if you flare hard enough. Windrunners can suck it, Allomancers rule. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormgate he/him Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Welcome to the Shard! Your ideas are good, and it will indeed be interesting to see what the applications will be. There are some members of the Shard that give out cookies. These are Hemalurgic spikes and should be refused unless you want a piece of metal stabbed into you. The root beer is harmless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwillsearchthenight Posted January 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 I mean, all a spike would do is give me extra magic powers and a direct hotline to Harmony as well as probably corrupt my sDNA since someone almost assuredly died to make it so what's the big deal? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Stormgate? People get it. Plus you still get to eat the cookie and cookies are awesome. Can I interest you in a chocolate chip, bestowed with the ability to impart magnetism onto lamps? Or a white-chocolate chip with the abilities of a double Zinc twinborn? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormgate he/him Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 I just warn. What they do afterwards is up to them. I have noticed an increase of spike acceptances lately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormgate he/him Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Mind if I ask why you named yourself what you did? Also, your sig sounds like the motto of a The Light. Can I use it as such? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwillsearchthenight Posted January 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) Oh boy oh boy I'm so excited to tell you about this. So, you know the Megaman series, right? Super fighting robot, Megaman? There's a band I adore called the Protomen, and their music is a dystopian rock opera version of the games. They're entirely story-based, in-character songs from the perspectives of Dr Light, Megaman, and others from the universe. And they will rock your face off! Anywho, their music is split up into Acts, one per album, alongside a cover album of tracks from the 70s-80s that fit their aesthetic and a Queen tribute album which is at times completely indistinguishable from the original Freddie Mercury vocals. If you enjoy rock and roll, you owe it to yourself to listen to them. The words "I will search the night" originate from a deliciously sexy 80s synth piece from The Makeup and Vanity Set, a sort of sibling band that shares a few members with the band. And my signature is sourced from their latest EP for the third and final Act of their story– and it would be so incredibly in keeping with the story to use it for that purpose! Please do! They're a really good band, with powerful messages about hope in the face of unfathomable adversity and facing unbeatable odds. I'm actually going to a show of theirs next week!

Oversleep Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 The two remaining eras will be contemporary like 1940s or 1980s and futuristic one with spaceships etc. (I totally riot for Scadrial cyberpunk! IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES!) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) My beard ate a cookie. It was delicious.Plot: 10/10.But we need backstory, man! How did this beard become able to eat a cookie? What kind of beard was it? What kind of cookie was it? How do beards expel waste? Is this beard the same Beard mentioned in your username? If so, was the spike cookie how the said Beard became Invested? Storms, you could write a whole book using those two sentences alone as the basis!

Beards "eating" things isn't exactly as it sounds; beards use food as their focus item, similar to how allomancers burn steel. Beards grow in Investiture with each consumed item, until finally they grow powerful enough to leave the host and become the Almighty Beardspren, hunter of bacon and craft beer. I hear they migrate to Portland and form Nahel bonds with hipsters. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkness Ascendant he/him Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Ah another vic- i mean Sanderfan. Welcome to the 17th Shard. Hope your stay is comfortable..... You say you don't fear anything yes?

Mark IV he/him Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 See Stormgate? People get it. Plus you still get to eat the cookie and cookies are awesome. Can I interest you in a chocolate chip, bestowed with the ability to impart magnetism onto lamps? Or a white-chocolate chip with the abilities of a double Zinc twinborn? How exactly do eat a pointy bit of metal? AND find it awesome? I'd rather not. (Although regular non-dark alley cookies are awesome!) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
