Hello Peoples of the 17th Shard

Hello peoples. My name is Leland, most people call me Lee, and I am new here.

Since I'm supposed to introduce myself, I guess I'll start with how I learned about the Cosmere. So, it all started summer of 2017. I was working as a research assistant for a college. During the long amounts of time it would take to do laundry due to low quality machines, I would watch YouTube videos. One such video was by Shadiversity about the Sanderson Laws of Magic. That sent me on a TV Tropes binge of reading about the Laws of Magic to reading about the magic in Mistborn and so on. I finally started the actual series that November, and got the next two book that Christmas. I read through them all by New Years. From there, I went on to the AoL era books, then to Elantris, Warbreaker, first two Stormlight Archives, and finished up in early March with Arcanum Unbound.

Along the way through that journey I've looked at these forums many times and thought about all the cool information and theories on them. At this point, I've got some ideas to share, and now I'm here. So, hi everyone.

Hey, welcome to the shard. I am a stick, and I grant you a free upvote. If you haven't read Oathbringer (Stormlight Archive #3) yet, I strongly recommend that you do, as a lot of current theories (and spoilers) are about that.

 

Anyway

1.) Who's your favorite character so far?

2.) What do you think your best theory is?

So, the reason I haven't read Oathbringer is because I'm waiting for the paperback. As for the theories I like, I really like the interplay between the magic systems and thinking about how to hack one with another. Earlier I came up with an idea for someone not from Sel becoming an Elantrin, and possibly even accessing the Door from other planets. 

As for my favorite books and characters, I don't have one of either, I enjoy each book too much to really compare them, and there are few characters I haven't liked. Boring, yes. A cop out, maybe. But still the truth.

Outside of the Cosmere, I've also read Reckoners. My least favorite character who we're not supposed to like is probably Ioden. My least favorite character who we're supposed to like is Lift, though my opinion of her is improving after Arcanum.

My favorite allomatic metal is electrum, though if I was a misting I'd either want to be a coinshot or a pewterarm.
