Cartographer7 Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 Nohadon. Combat character vs non-combat character. 15 hours ago, CalypsoDreaming said: (just look at the first page she's in in White Sand). Honestly I was pretty unhappy with that page. She's model strutting into a tent, not because she has a reason to do so in universe, but to show off the pretty woman to the readers. It broke my immersion pretty badly. I think as a character she deserved better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toaster Retribution he/him Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 Nohadon. The arguments stated in this thread won me over. And I have not read White Sand, in any version. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patar he/him Posted October 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Nohadon is the victor! Up next is Kaladin, Windrunner of Roshar, fighting against Wayne, a Twinborn from Scadrial! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WayneSpren he/him Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Wayne. Hilarious, great backstory, on point character development. Elenion, getting close to your 1000th post there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stick. she/her Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Kaladin. Like is that even a choice to make XD? Kaladin will win either way- combat, or in general as a character. Because Kaladin is Kaladin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toaster Retribution he/him Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Wayne. He is hillarious, and I like his backstory. Kaladin is good as well, but I never love the protagonist and he is getting too much spotlight for my taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormyQueen she/her Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Kaladin. I really liked seeing him confront his depression and othe mental issues particularly, but I also liked his character, as well as his arcs. While Wayne is cool, and I love him and his natural affinity to hats, Kal is just amazing and cool, in different ways to Wayne, but still amazingly cool with a tragic backstory to boot. However, I will give Wayne points for smiling. This is something that Kaladin needs lessons in. Do you think Wayne would be happy to teach? I'm sure Hoid would be willing to get involved, even if it's just to laugh at how bemused Kaladin is with Wayne. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patar he/him Posted October 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 And Kaladin is the winner! And in the final fight of Round One, Kenton, a Sand Master from Taldain, will fight Elend Venture! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormyQueen she/her Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Elend. Such a cool character, from scholar, to emperor, to mistborn. He's be given so many roles throughout his life, not all of them by his choosing, but he remains a great and moral person, despite growing up amongst the notorably corrupt court and family. He had to do so many thing hard things, and he never lost sight of his morals and general goodness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elenion he/him Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 I'll go Elend. Mostly because I liked Mistborn much better than White Sand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asterion137 he/him Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 kenton should take a fight based on the fact that sand mastery is nigh unbeatable by Elend even with atium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneSpren he/him Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 Elend. Vin's husband, he speaks for all us book readers, plus he turns badchull in HoA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toaster Retribution he/him Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 Elend. A character many readers can identify with (including me). One of Mistborns most interesting characters as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stick. she/her Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 I really want to vote Kenton. I haven't read the graphic novel, but he seems like an interesting character judging by the prose. And it would be nice to have someone from Taldain in Round Two. But. Elend just hits home, you know? He was an interesting character even before he became a Mistborn, he just got a whole lot cooler after. I would feel bad not voting for him And yeah, I also think he'd defeat Kenton in combat.

Patar he/him Posted October 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 And Elend Venture will move on to the next round! And with the conclusion of the first round, I'd like to give a few updates concerning the future of this tournament. First and foremost: I'd like to apologize once more for the delay between rounds. I've been very busy with school as well as personal issues that have been affecting me for the past few weeks, so sometimes I either forget or don't have time to start the next round. Hopefully I'll be able to be more consistent in the future, and thank you all so much for being patient with me! The other thing I'd like to discuss is the story. As I've stated above, some days I barely have time to update this, let alone write a story for all of this. Because of my lack of time, I will not be continuing with the story aspect of things. That being said, if anyone else wants to write up a story for this, please feel free to! I simply don't have the time. And with all that out of the way, the second round has officially started! In the first fight of the second round we have Marsh vs. Vasher! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneSpren he/him Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Marsh. Amazing character with a great redemption story, plus he has a spike in at least one eye, so that's a plus. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elenion he/him Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 I'm going to have to go with Vasher. (Warbreaker (MAJOR ENDING SPOILERS) and Mistborn 1-3 ending spoilers) Spoiler Marsh may have a great redemption story, but Vasher also has a redemption of his own. His command phrase for the Phantoms, "My sin be hidden" shows how penitent he has become about his past. He hates what he was, considers it a sin that he once was Kalad the Usurper. But he's willing to put it all aside in order to save some Idrian villagers he's never met. (correct me about any errors on my story; I just read Warbreaker and am still getting Vasher's backstory worked out in my mind) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toaster Retribution he/him Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Marsh. One of the most badchull characters in the Cosmere. Plus, he'd destroy Vasher in a fight. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenod Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Marsh, when it comes to combat he's just overpowered, also considering that he still has Atium. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samaldin he/him Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 I´ll go with Vasher, i just find him more interessting as a character and i think his character was more formed by his own decisions making his redemption more meaningfull (Marshs redemption doesn´t feel as strong to me since for the worst things he was controlled by Ruin and he tried to fight him from the beginning making the sins for which he redempts less severe). Also Vasher is a confirmed Worldhopper (not sure about Marsh) meaning he would have some idea what he would be up against in a fight, while Marsh doesn´t. Atium could be the deciding factor, but since Marsh needs it for his immortality i would guess he wouldn´t use it from the start giving Vasher an early advantage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormyQueen she/her Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Vasher. He was innovative in his world and magic system in ways that Marsh wasn't. Plus, he has some nice opposites going on with characters, and displays the fickilty of history, as he is known by multiple names due to the different roles that he has played. Marsh is awesome, and so many lines concerning him break my heart, but I don't get as much of a sense of his character as much as I do from Vasher. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elenion he/him Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 From now on, I will be upvoting posts that vote the same as mine. Just another incentive to vote Vasher! Tally: Vasher 3, Marsh 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patar he/him Posted October 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 You think to tempt me with such measly upvotes? I'm voting for Marsh. Besides maybe Vin, he's my favorite Sanderson character. A fight between Marsh and Vasher could go either way, but in the end I think that Marsh would win. Even if Vasher knew he had to remove the spikes, I doubt he would be able to. And although I do like Vasher, I juts like Marsh's story so much better. The moment at the end of HoA when he removed Vin's earring was just so well done. Plus, Marsh is still alive and kicking 300 years later. And he's also become toe figure of death itself. That's pretty badchull. Also, I'll be upvoting any votes for Marsh 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
