Ohhh... It's hinted that Kelsier is involved in a love triangle. Is it him?

Yep! Sorry for the delay!

Love triangle with Marsh and Mare, wants to scratch his scars, has flashbacks to the Pits, kills a whole bunch of people, and is famous for any number of reasons.

So, I guess that means it's my turn. I need to think of clues, give me a moment.

This has been a long moment.

Oops. I kind of forgot about this.

Clue 1: This character is invested

[Ghanderflaffle she/her]

Spoooook

[Shard of Reading he/him]

Nope. Sorry.

[Kingsdaughter613 she/her]

@Ookla the Bored Any of these?
Vasher.

Nightblood.

Arsteel

Lightsong

Blushweaver

Susebron

Denth 

Allmother

Brighthue

Brightvision

Calmseer

Giftbeacon

Hopefinder 

Kindwinds

Lifeblesser

Mercystar

Mirthgiver

Peaceyearning

Shashara

Stillmark 

Truthcall

Vo

Weatherlove 

Yesteel

Siri

Vivenna 

Azure’s sword

Everyone on Nalthis who isn’t a drab and any Worldhoppers in possession of Breath.

Jezrien

Nale

Kalak.

Ishar

Taln

Chana

Pailia

Ash

Battar

Vedel

Tanavast/Stormfather

I am not listing Fused, as I don’t recall which names came from RoW and I don’t want to get in trouble. So let’s pretend I listed all the ones we know.

Anyone currently using a form of Stormlight or Voidlight

Kelsier

Vin

Anyone currently burning metals or tapping metalminds.

Scadrial

Mraize

Grandmother

Hoid

Ati

Raoden

Galladon

Any other Elantrians.

Anyone actively accessing the Dor.

Sel

Anyone actively using Sandmastery.

Anyone actively using using a form of Kinetic Investiture.

So that’s every sentient Invested entity I can think of. Not counting Spren or Seons, as those are Sentient Investiture. (Cognitive Shadows are a tad more complicated; they might be sentient Investiture OR they might be Invested Entities.) Not counting Shards as they are Investiture, not Invested. The Stormfather is an exception as it includes a Cognitive Shadow which IS Invested.

Can I point out that this is the most vague hint in the Cosmere? I may add all the Nalthians and Elantrians eventually... The only thing more vague would be ‘this person has Investiture’ because that includes EVERYONE.

Yeah I know it's vague, and technically one of those guesses is right, but you did not mention them by name, so I'm not going to give it to you. Also, that's not it chasmgoat. Because I think I should let you narrow it down, so I'll give my second hint early: This character has a short story about them.

Are we allowed to talk about Dawnshard outside the DS/RoW boards? I didn’t think we were.

There are only three Cosmere short stories: Hope of Elantris (about Matisse), Eleventh Metal (about Kelsier) and Alomancer Jak (about Jak). Two of those I guessed and the third isn’t Invested except when using tin. When you say short story, are we including novellas? Or when you say about, we are including characters other than the main ones?

Gemmel.

Okay, so it was Allomancer Jak. Those clues didn't work out as well I thought they would. When I said invested, I was thinking it meant they could use investiture.

I mentioned him. Does that count? Just to note: Mistings are only Invested when using their abilities. Otherwise they’re just ordinary people.

That’s unpublished though. And I said Hoid.

I guess it does. And, I could have phrased the invested clue better, but whatever.

Lol, true. It gets super confusing, because people using Investiture are Invested, but only some of the time...

This character is a parent.
