Bryce Carmony he/him Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 That's how I imagine it at least when I read it. I just imagine that it it absorbs 100% of light 2
KaIadin he/him Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Just pointing out something guys, you can't really see it properly on a screen. Also, Vantablack™
IndigoAjah he/him Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Kind of fits with the way it drains Investiture and stores so much, too...
Bryce Carmony he/him Posted March 8, 2016 Author Posted March 8, 2016 I like Nightblade's look in the fact that it is just a straight long sword. I don't really like the sound of most shard blades how they are so ornate and curvy and wavy and showy they give off a certain Anime vibe for me.
Bryce Carmony he/him Posted March 8, 2016 Author Posted March 8, 2016 Eh. Isn't Vantablack cloth-like? It's made of carbon nanotubes. so one layer of it would be clothlike. you could make a think swordy chunk of it and maybe it'd be hard.
Observer Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Shardblades are, or at least were, living creatures. Their shape and form is based on their personality and the way they want to be seen. It helps that without weight or balancing they can basically be what they want to be without issue. Nightblood though? Nightblood is a tool. A weapon first and foremost designed to ruin evil's day. The simplicity and straightforwardness is, in its own way, an expression of Nightblood's personality. /reason I shouldn't post late

Like Carrot's Sword?
Jondesu he/him Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Nightblood is a tool. And this is why I should read slower, since that didn't come across initially the way you meant it. :-P I agree, Vantablack is a great image to have in mind for Nightblood. It's almost sucking in all the light around it. jW
