StanLemon Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) As the title says, which non-human Cosmere species that we have seen would you like to be? Let's only consider ones we've actually seen "on screen" so to speak. Personally I think a Kandra is the one I would like to be Edited December 9, 2019 by StanLemon 1
Kelsier'sGodComplex she/her Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 What is the name of the sea creature Shallan sees? The one that is supposed to be good luck? I forgot what they are called. I wanna be one of those.
Karger he/him Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) I kind of want to be a chasmfiend just for the primal urge of running around wrecking armies. Alternatively Reshi greatshells or skyeals are both fun. 8 hours ago, Kelsier'sGodComplex said: What is the name of the sea creature Shallan sees? The one that is supposed to be good luck?

Quantus he/him Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 Are things like Elantrian's or Returned still considered human? I want to say Singer, but it would really depend on the historic era (ditto Kandra). Lacking other compelling choices, Id go Spren. Probably Honorspren of the kinds we've met.

+Invocation Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 As cool as being a dragon would be, I have to say kandra too. Shapeshifting is the sole power I've always wanted. Near-immortality is a just a bonus.
Iarwainiel I she/her Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 I'd choose to be one of the Noldor - a clan of elves in TLotR; Galadriel, Feanor, Celebrimbor, and Finrod Felagund were Noldo. However, I would not have left Valinor, either in the stolen white ships or any other way. 1

Weltall Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 Singers sound like they could be one of the coolest options given all of the potential Forms (the ones that don't require bonding a voidspren at least) as long as you're at a time when knowledge of how to attain those Forms is available. Be fun to decide 'I feel like being artistic this week' and shifting to Artform, or the other options. Venli's Envoyform also sounds like it could be awesome, if not for the whole 'voidspren influencing you' aspect. 46 minutes ago, Lump-wing said: I'd choose to be one of the Noldor - a clan of elves in TLotR Pity the Cosmere doesn't have those... the Sho Del might be the closest equivalent but we know almost nothing about them and a lot of what we do know is from a non-canonical book subject to revision.

Halyo_Alex he/him Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 I'd probably be a Kandra for all the weird interactions with Hemalurgy and bone-stuff (like being able to use Dakhor bones with a little extra something, probably Connection to Fjordell, which, Duralumin medallion could fix).

Jaywalk he/him Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 Either a singer or a kandra. Both are so cool—it’s impossible to choose.
Lunamor she/her Posted December 10, 2019 Posted December 10, 2019 A kandra, definitely. It comes with a bunch of other races too. I wanna be a giraffe.
Guest Coda Posted December 10, 2019 Posted December 10, 2019 Siah Aimian, Dysian Aimian, kandra, dragon, axehound, spren, Aviar, Ones Above, singer, larkin, greatshell, Evil, shade, seon, skaze, santhid, etc.

Steel Inquisitive he/him Posted December 10, 2019 Posted December 10, 2019 My first thought was KANDRA! But on further thought, the idea of a shard or even a powerful Mistborn bring able to control me is... Unappealing. So Singers I guess. I would be stuck on Roshar (what with needing spren) but that could be okay. Aimians could be cool. Either version. I don't know enough about them yet to say for sure though.
HSuperLee Posted December 10, 2019 Posted December 10, 2019 Sleepless. I don't know why, but swarmforms have always fascinated me. If nothing else, I like the idea of being in more than one place at once. Though I'm not sure I'd spend time making myself look like a human, especially if its not super convincing anyway. 1

Friendshipspren he/him Posted December 12, 2019 Posted December 12, 2019 I would be a kandra in era 2 or 3 . Not era 1 or 1.5 . I'm sure by then there will be enough aluminium to shield myself from allomancers atleast. Wait would aluminium immunity work on hemalurgy ???
Paalm Tree Posted December 12, 2019 Posted December 12, 2019 KANDRA KANDRA KANDRA KANDRA Kandra are so cool and you can be pretty much any other species as well, except well, spren? Can kandra eat a shard blade and turn into a spren??? I think it would also be cool to be a cryptic.
