Trutharchivist Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Quote So, I'm going to join my second RP! I wish to thank @Enter a username for letting me know this exists. Name: Hoblim Gross. Weird, but I'll live with that. Appearance: a short boy, around twenty years old. Short brown hair. Always wears a coat, carries a small bag with him. Abilities: fine memory, but only if he tries. Interested in books, numbers and riddles, though not very good at solving them. Not very athletic. Background: Hoblim is an Israeli Jew (well, I do play myself), and a religious one, to top that. Never left his country, though he speaks English well. He might have a weird, overdone accent. Normal life stuff, a fantasy nerd who got to Sanderson only about three years ago. Enjoys talking about random things that interest him. Signed to the Shard as Trutharchivist. Investiture: an Archivist. Though it should be clear from my shard name, it wasn't that easy to decide. Well, I had the personality in the background, at least partly. Can I join? And I'd like to be added to the PM, I'm really curious about Earth's Investiture. Maybe we can start off having abilities from there? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoblim walked through the streets. Right, there technically was quarantine right now, because COVID, but you could still get out, so long as you had a mask and didn't go too far from home. Then, all the sudden, the sidewalk disappeared bellow him and he fell down, down, down... He woke up laying on his... Bag, apparently. It was on his back when he fell. He looked around him. It seemed like he landed on a grassy area. He turned around and... All right, he thought. I must be dreaming, mustn't I? Because otherwise, why would I see a statue of a woman wearing what suspiciously resembles all the drawings of mistcloaks I ever saw? He shook his head, lifting a hand to rub it. It made no sense, unless... A wild grin covered his face. Finally! He thought. He then proceeded to think of his next step. Well, he needed money. And new clothes, apparently, since it seemed that people here wore different clothes. And, he recalled, he might have to climb over the language barrier. But he had the steel alphabet table in his bag, so maybe he could do something. He opened his bag and pulled out a nylon case with a lot of A4 pages inside, then searched through it until he found... His eyes widened with shock when he saw he could immediately understand the steel alphabet. "Well," he mumbled. "That crosses one problem off of the list." He stood there in thought. Quote So, it might be a bad idea, but I left him in the Field of Rebirth. Will anyone go there in the near future? I need to think before I post next. I mean, he basically starts with no reserves at all. Oh, and I anticipated passing to another world for some time now. That's why Hoblim takes it with such ease. Though he'll probably panic after a while. Edited February 24, 2021 by Trutharchivist 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second group is large, and is talking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Wow, this mans just...immediately fine with suddenly being on Scadrial. Barely half a sentence of confusion Took us like 10 pages to get to the “we need new clothes stage” and we spent like 4 pages of that on the “is this even real or is it a dream” stage.

But also, as I said, I anticipated passing to another world lately, so though I don't really believe it'll ever happen, if it will I will be mentally ready, though not well equipped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trutharchivist Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 After a few moments in thought, Hoblim realizes that he won't get anywhere without money, and that the only ways he could get money were either street performing - which he wasn't too good at - or begging - which he was even worse at. After thinking for a few more moments, he opens his second, smaller bag, which he placed carefully on the ground, to reveal it has a plastic container inside. He puts the plastic container's lid on the ground before him, and calls: "who wants to hear the glorious story of how the Survivor and the Ascendant Warrior defeated old Silver?" Hopefully, some of the listeners will give him some money. Quote Anyone wants to play the public around? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing to the fact this amount of money might not be enough, Hoblim decided to move on to the next story. "And now, I shall tell you the final story of Harmony, the Hero of Ages!" Quote They ought to get bored sometime. those are, after all, stories from their mythology. Should I try at least once to write how he tells the story? It could turn out to be more similar to Sigzil's abilities with storytelling, at least when I'm unsure about the details. Otherwise, I think it could be only slightly bellow Hoid's talent. Oh, and one other thing, this one is supposedly the Well of Ascension and the Hero of Ages combined. I figured it might be better that way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you be fine with that? I think it could be interesting. Quote You may add Hoid, though it's kind of intimidating. Imagine doing something you count yourself good at - say, for example, solving rubik's cube, and then you see an expert watching you doing that. You'd become nervous, and if what you do consists of speech you might falter. But it's fine, because Hoblim probably won't notice Hoid there. "... And so, the Lord Mistborn and the remains of the Survivor's Crew rebuilt the world, and became known as the Founders, founding the world we all now live in." Hoblim finished the story, and looked hopefully at his plastic lid. If he succeeded at gaining enough money he'd be able to stop. If he gained no more... Well, in that case, there was no reason to keep doing it. If he gained some, but not enough... Well, he could get creative. He thought once of writing a Scadrial Cinderella story, so he could try that. Or maybe Secret History, or the Tale of Alendi.

Quote Well, I thought of writing the full story, but I'm too hungry to think right now - only Jews would understand (and possibly anyone who ever went through a feast) - and it probably had a bad effect on what I already wrote. So, the story is basically what you can get from the logbook with some collor added to it, and possibly a few additions that Hoid might note as wrong, like how Alendi became the king of Khellenium, How he got to the city on the first place and such things. Oh, and he didn't mention Hoid, who might've been there. "... Then behind him came the hateful packman, Rashek, and stabbed Alendi in the back, as his uncle, Kwaan, told him to do. "He went forward and entered the well. He let the water - if that what it was, wholly cover his body... And he was filled with immense power. The power of a god, of Preservation himself. It was his destiny, he thought as he took all the power in, to be their saviour. He was the Hero of Ages. It wasn't this stupid Khelleni but him. "WHAT IS THIS?! roared a voice in his ears. HOW?! PRESERVATION COULDN'T DO THAT, WOULDN'T DO THAT! "Rashek ignored the voice, instead letting the power fill him, and with it, the knowledge how to use it. He moved the planet, so the Deepness, the mists, would dissipate. But Ruin, which was, of course, imprisoned in the well, laughed at his every effort, for he always did more damage then good. but he learned. He made the Ashmounts. He changed the plants and the humans to fit this ecological system. He remade he world, keeping it safe from the Deepness and Ruin, for now. But as you all know, Rashek became later the Lord Ruler, a tyrant who ruled the Final Empire with strict hand, oppressing most of the population for a little more than a millennia. He was then, as I told you earlier, defeated by the Ascendant Warrior, who later defeated even Ruin, the power beyond Alendi's quest, and finally brought Harmony to the world." Hoblim bowed, and, after everyone who willed already put some money in the plastic lid, collected the money and counted it. Well, he thought, Whether it may be enough or not, that's all I can gain today. Bother. Edited February 25, 2021 by Trutharchivist 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
