Since he isn't though, Moash is the SA Miles Hundredlives instead. Hear me out. Moash is a peasant who experienced the deaths of loved ones due directly to the actions of Elhokar. He joined a crew to murder and overthrow said bad king, and didn't know what we know - that Elhokar was improving as a person. Moash then joined the former slave population to overthrow the oppressors. Sounds an AWFUL lot like Kelsier to me. Kel never felt guilt about wanton murder of the ruling class. Moash also refuses to feel guilt. And we know, because Brandon said it, that Kelsier would be the villain in any other story. Ergo, I stand by my assertion, that Moash and Kel are almost the same person. Moash = Kelsier The Diagram = Kelsiers crew The Parshendi = Skaa Lighteyes = Nobility Kaladin now = Elend (kinda, in a way. He's now basically a lighteyes, and he's serving the oppressing class) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Technovore Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 (edited) That's fair @Mistborn Surgebinder, except for a couple things: Moash may be more justified than Miles. Miles believed he was following Kelsier's path, but factually he was just WRONG about the levels of oppression and the appropriate response, as Wax pointed out. Moash does live in a pretty oppressed society. The de facto power of a group of shardbearers versus the farmers of Vorin Roshar is pretty comparable to the power TLR had over everyone else. But he didn't do it right. He wasn't fighting Elhokar out of a sense of justice or liberation. It was petty revenge. And then what did he do after joining the Singer? Became the lackey for the Fused and for Odium himself. Odium, the guy whose Unmade and corruptions were mostly responsible for his society being so messed up in the first place. The Fused, who gleefully would murder the singers to receive new life. The Fused, who immediately set to dominating the singer people just like the lighteyes dominated the humans, whose express goals are to someday dominate both peoples. Moash didn't liberate anyone. He denounced one group of oppressors and joined another. Moash is no Kelsier. My case is closed. Annnnd I just realized this is SUPER Off-Topic. sorry @Phlipz1. Here's a getting to know you question: If you could pick a magic system to have on Earth, which would it be?

Mistborn Surgebinder Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 @The Technovore Don't know if your question is for everyone or just Phlipz, but my answer is Fereuchemy. For a modern earth environment, it seems the most practical. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's just the perfect irl magic system. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlipz1 Posted May 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 i also say feruchemy. unlike allomancy all feruchemical abilities would be awesome in the real world. who needs to hide allomancy when you can store memories? be marginally faster when you can become usain bolt. whatever. if we're gonna debate worst characters or character parralels then might i suggest making a new discussion for it in RoW characters? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
