Unless you guys think it's too close to the Sharders round. (Again, I'll assemble the list if nobody else has a burning desire.) 13 minutes ago, Dragonspren said: We could do legendary characters. Not usually the main characters of books, but the ones that get the legends about them. Kvothe, Phantom of Opera, (from the book Phantom, as that gives the most detail.) Legendary Jedi/Sith, Taln, Kelsier, etc. we could limit it to Brandon Sanderson books or not. 5 minutes ago, Personification said: What about dead parents? (obviously "died of old age" doesn't count except for maybe Moash's) WHAT ABOUT ALL THREE.
goody153 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 I like the legendary characters category but yeah the problem is that if we don't limit it to cosmere not all people may know such characters. Dead parents might be hard(as we don't know alot of their names). What about cosmere couples or maybe cosmere's most competent characters ? Or maybe cosmere powers ?

What about all parents (who have some significance to a plot other than being parents) then? Also, you underestimate the prevalence of dead parents in the cosmere. (I can think of at least 12 big ones from SA alone, and that's just off the top of my head). Edited August 28, 2018 by Personification

Can we also count in parent figures not just biological parents ? Anyways go for it !

Also, Arsteel too... time to update the gossip column. Spoiler Hello everyone, and welcome to this week’s edition of Weekly Gossip with Ash! This week, we’ve had a juicy load of drama on the Elimination Game thread. Apollyon and Matias seem to be in a neck-and-neck battle for the hand of the lovely AonEne. Last we checked, Ene was betrothed to Ap, but Matias seems to be a solid contender in this contest. I sat down with Matias to talk about this, and he claims that he would stand up to object in the wedding between Ene and Ap. That proves for some true love right there! Unfortunately for him, Ene and Ap seem to be true blue. When asked which Sharder she would marry, Ene responded with Ap, wholeheartedly. Tough luck, Matias! However, Matias has challenged Ap to a Pokémon battle, which is up and coming very soon! It is assumed that the winner of this battle will have a higher standing over the other in the contest for Ene’s love. That’s all for this week, folks. Tune in next time! ~Ash WOAH WOAH WOAH, UPDATE! It appears that Arsteel is coming into the mix! That's right, a fictional character everyone! Things are getting real! Personally, I like to live by the slogan FBAB: Fictional Boys are Better. Period. No exceptions. I mean, Adolin's jawline? Kaladin's biceps? I'm not drooling, I'm just sweating from my mouth. If Ene is anything like me, Arsteel will provide some serious competition. Now, whether he creates another investiture-eating sentient awakened object or joins into the Pokémon battle is yet to be seen, but we all know that this drama is definitely one to look out for. Signing off. ~Ash Trying my hardest to get that gossip column feel... Edited August 28, 2018 by Ashspren 8

AonEne he/him Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 Oh, okay, gotcha. Sooo....are we doing parents from Sanderson works? That's out next list, correct? I can go with that.
Ashspren Posted August 28, 2018 Author Posted August 28, 2018 Just now, Sprene said: Oh, okay, gotcha. Some of my friends actually criticize me for my taste in guys, both real and fictional... “Yeah, I can’t imagine that this ‘Elend’ guy would be hot. He spends all of his time reading, so he probably doesn’t have any muscles.” “Um, forget about that! He likes BOOKS! And he’s such an adorkable nerd and I love him.” 3 minutes ago, Sprene said: Sooo....are we doing parents from Sanderson works? That's out next list, correct? I can go with that. I believe so!
goody153 Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 Feel free to add to the list incase i missed the "named" parents.

None of the shards or Hoid are parents, and TLR isn't explicitly a parent in the books.
AonEne he/him Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 I think Brandon confirmed TLR though. It's in the latest Shardcast. True about the others though.

TLR actually had kids tho. And Ruin/Preservation is literally the parents of Scadrians. Honor/Cultivation has the splinters as his/her children. I suppose if we are only talking about biological parents then only TLR counts as somebody who has descendants. Feel free to edit the list. Edited August 30, 2018 by goody153

I know, but it wasn't in the books, and it feels like a kind of weird choice, oh and Taravangian also never had any kids. Also, we should add: Roshone Lift's mom (she isn't named but I feel like she is important) Vo the Returned Sarene (maybe, she was pregnant in Hope of Elantris) Raoden (maybe, see above) Silence William (Silence's husband) Silence's grandmother The Sunmaker

Taravangian is a grandpa (not sure if he was ever married tho and it was just one of his nephew's kids) Somebody compile the full list pls ? Edited August 30, 2018 by goody153
Personification he/him Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 I would say just Lift's mom, because she seems to have done more things for Lift than just being a mom, and I think it may become important, and Silence's grandmother, because she had an important in-story role and a well defined character, despite being nameless. If I had to chose one for the list I would say the latter.
goody153 Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 Vin's mom did pretty important things too (namely setting up the entire plot for Mistborn Trilogy)
Toaster Retribution he/him Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) Rashek Ruin Preservation Straff Venture Gavilar Dalinar Evi Navani Tindwyl Ham Ashweather Cett Spook Beldre Allriane Breeze Honor Cultivation KIng Dedelin Aladar Taravangian Jezrien Lord Prelan Tevidian Jackstorm Harms Lirin Hesina Brightlord Wistiow Lin Davar General Khal Brightness Teshav Queen Fen Rock Aesudan Elhokar Lifts Mom Silence Grandma Silence William Sarene Raoden Vo the Returned Roshone Sunmaker Vins Mom I say we go with this list now. I removed Hoid and kept the others. Worst case scenario, we eliminate the Shards quickly. And I will also take the liberty to answer @goody153s question with: Stormfather. He already has kids running away from him to bond people, so why not to marry. Next question: Who is the worst parent? Edited August 30, 2018 by Toaster Retribution Forgot to remove the Stormfather and forgot to add Vins mom
