Bowiespoon he/him Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I'd love a book following a seeker misting who is some sort of bounty hunter or constable, because I feel like bronze is an underused power that actually has a lot of useful applications 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryce Carmony he/him Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I'd like to see an aluminum gnat get their time in the spotlight. Maybe a compounder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoidhunter he/him Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) You kind of stole mine...(see the long since forgotten guild "hazekiller corp")...but I guess great minds think alike. Anyway...how about...a Tineye who is a high stakes card player. He uses his hightened senses to notice subtle changes in his opponents' dialation, heartrate, breathing, etc...in order to detect impossibly subtle tells...he acts as a kind of robin hood charcter that targets morally corrupt upperclass members and redistributes his ill gotten winnings to the poor. He follows in the footsteps of Spook and has learned to use his hightened senses to get kind of a blind samauri thing going on...and as a result is a master of unarmed combat. Meanwhile, he lives an extremely austere lifestyle, and leads a second life as a priest in charge of an orphanage.

amulligan99 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Now that you mention it a tineye would be really cool but I think if they also had feruchemical zinc then he would be really cool in combat and every other scenario possible.

Pechvarry Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Elsewhere on the boards, the Tin/Zinc combo has been likened to Robert Downey Jr's take on Sherlock Holmes. I'd like to see some of the Ferrings shine. Like Determination (don't remember which metal that is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vividox Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I would love to see a story about a Nicroburst crew member. Something like... they could pretend to be a non-Misting nobleman/woman (or other position of power) who hires Mistings to protect them, but in fact they are orchestrating the whole thing and acting as the ultimate support crew member. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nashan’Elin he/him Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I'd like to see a Chromium misting get some attention. Seeing how they would fight and get close enough to touch other Allomancers would be pretty great 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kynedath Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) I'd love to see a bronze compounder right after the Final Ascension. They could be like, working for Spook and Ham and them, and then they could be torn between helping make the new world and protecting their family or something. And they could be called 'The Sentinel'. It'll be great. Edited March 9, 2016 by Kynedath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadFencer Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I'd like to see some of the Ferrings shine. Like Determination (don't remember which metal that is).Determination is electrum. And yeah, a determination ferring would be cool. Frankly, either Allomantic or feruchemical electrum would be nice, since we haven't really seen either. I mean we technically saw Allomantic aluminum in HoA, but it was for a few seconds and was confused by the fact that what Vin saw changed because the inquisitor was burning atium.

Eccentric Hero he/him Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) I would like to see an Iron Compounder. By compounding his mass, he could deliver deadly blows (and probably break his fists in the process). (F=ma) Plus he would be able to scale buildings with more ease, making it easier to escape/chase Coinshots. EDIT: Oops; did not realize that the post is only mistings. Sorry.

Pagerunner he/him Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 A couple other people have said Chromium, and I agree with that... as a start. But he uses their Allomancy to catch other Allomancers, then steal their power with Hemalurgy. He's stalking powerful Mistings all over the world, waiting for the opportunity to strike and steal their power. And with each kill, he becomes more powerful, more unstoppable, and more unstable. Also, played by Zachary Quinto. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah thanks, and I totally agree. Sanderson continually asserts that Allomantic electrum isn't that useful (in-universe, I admit), but it seems like it would have sooo much potential. Worse than Atium? Of course. But probably as good as Pewter in a gun fight. I feel like a prostitute Out of context quotes are funny (sorry I couldn't resist).

Three1415 Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) Electrum is weird, for a number of reasons. For example, it allows you to see shadows of yourself in the future...but are those shadows also acting as if they are burning electrum, and seeing their shadows? Because then you are seeing your future selves react to their future selves, who are reacting to their future selves, who are reacting to their future selves... If Twinborn are allowed, I would like to see an A-Electrum/F-Zinc combination: Flare electrum while deep-tapping zinc during combat, and use the combination of improved mental speed and intuition to reconstruct future events from your electrum shadows--a kind of pseudo-atium. If not, I still want to see an Electrum savant, as it would probably still be very interesting. Edited March 10, 2016 by Three1415 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natc Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 I mean, since you're seeing the future, reacting, and therefore the future will change, it'll just most likely split immediately like when atium shadows are used on someone else burning atium.

IndigoAjah he/him Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 I would love to see a Bendalloy-A, Steel-F Twinborn. If they had enough Bendalloy, it would be much easier, I think, to store Speed without the huge drag of moving in slow mo, and burning the Bendalloy whilst tapping speed would make you comparatively SO quick!

baby he/him Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) Even though it's about mistings, I just can't resist throwing this out there.

natc Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) Now we just need to send TLR to Roshar to OnePunch chasmfiends. . . .

I actually wouldn't be surprised if he could decelerate meteors with steelpushes alone actually. Wax's weightpushing trick at the end of AoL, applied with TLR's sheer power and expertise? not only could he blast it out of orbit if he chose but he could probably pick which rebellious skaahole he wants it to land on (Urteau), then lower it gently enough to squash the Citizen and his ilk without too much disturbance to the surrounding villages.
