Where is everyone from?

[Impact he/him]

Hey All!

 

I've actually been a member on the forums for a few months, though I haven't checked out this section before.

 

My name is Impact.  I live in Florida.  I love Sanderson's works, especially the Stormlight Archive.  

 

I'm a martial artist, ultimate Frisbee player, environmental scientist and Real Life Superhero (Look it up or ask)

Real Life Superhero (RLSH) is a subculture, mostly in America, but around the world also, that goes out and does community service using personae of superheroes that they create. I work with a group that does homeless outreach, fundraising for local charities, and street safety walks making sure that folks get home safely.

Thank you!  And you can be one!  The cheesy answer I always give (and fully believe) is that if you go out of your way to help people, you are one.  But if you want to do the whole shebang (supersuit and cool name) there are teams located in Utah I can direct you to

On a related note, quite a few Sharders appear to have given their location on this thread (there's even a map):

So the best group is the Legacy Initiative. They don’t always wear the super suits but they dress in a sort of uniform. They do a ton of homeless outreach and occasionally street safety patrols.

When you reach out, tell them Impact sent you (it’s my RLSH name). If they don’t respond, let me know. And I’ll look for anyone else in the area.
