It could limit character creation, but it could also inspire creative new character concepts. I'm not the one to say, but I think for any RP to be successful it needs a special quirk of its own to help it succeed. ...There's a story behind this, I'm sure of it.

If you can't find them within you, then you're not yet ready. But as a sage mystic in this church, I will say that they involve affirming your identity as a splinter of wood.

There's also a possible Awakening reference in a Rosharan fairy tale I cataloged here, if you're interested in other connections between Roshar and Nalthis.

Except, of course, for a Compounding Fullborn who can burn ten times the amount of speed, strength, and weight that a vanilla Feruchemist could muster.

Welcome to the forum! If I read your post correctly, I believe you're suggesting that Megan is David's weakness? That's an interesting idea, but I can't quite find the idea fully plausible... An Epic's weakness is what that Epic feared the most. So far, no known Epic has had an individual who triggered this fear as a weakness; Fortuity fears women rejecting him in general rather than an individual woman who turned him down, for instance. Steelheart fears people who do not fear him, rather than an individual person who wasn't afraid of him. Also, Prof gifted to David after the Calamity incident. This is the single most devastating fact to any theory that postulates that David is indeed an Epic.Hope I don't sound too negative! To repeat myself, welcome to the forum!

I like both of those ideas! Would the Queens of Corvallis consciously bar male Epics from holding high positions, like Amazons?
-
I didn't realize Epics could be existentially horrifying in this way until just now.

Indeed it is. 167 miles from The Dalles, 84 miles from Portland. Population of 55 thousand. It sounds cool, and I'll definitely be keeping an eye on it. I myself will most likely not be joining though, unless one of my current characters has a reason to go there. I'll help out with the worldbuilding too if you need any aide in that department.

This is beautiful. -
Pugs always think about cheeseburgers. Is it strange that I'm always surprised that the background snippets of TwiLyght's house aren't pink and glittery?
-
I see nothing practically or morally objectionable with this plan.
-
I think every member of the Trifecta should have to duel Numnums to win Neverthere's heart. No powers--just fists against fangs.
-
If we were going to judge Neverthere, we'd have far better targets for judgement than her polyamorous tendencies.

On the bright side, even at his craziest Lightwards wouldn't have participated in the woman-hunt from a few pages ago. He would have immediately killed the girls and had their corpses reanimated to go door-to-door murdering the residents of every house on the block. ... OK, the bright side isn't as bright as I thought it would be. Back to the Paradise Land of Pancakes and Merriness I go.
-
We might very well need a "What Happened in the Paradise Land of Pancakes and Merriness" thread to rehabilitate us before all is said and done.
-
And with Lightwards getting progressively more violent and less rational with every death... ...they could form a new trifecta.
-
Somehow, being a slontze just... suits him. I need this website every time he has a PoV.

...My small, shriveled, partially deformed sense of self-esteem is beaming with pride right now. Seriously, thanks--that means a lot to me. To be honest, Backtrack has only been consistent as a character since he came to The Dalles. I wrote him more as an overconfident slontze in his first Portland posts, only establishing his current easily-frightened personality after he was bullied by Lightwards and Nighthound. Before then, I was envisioning him like a much less powerful version of Deathwish. One of the really cool things about the RP is seeing characters develop and change on the page in that way, I think. It happens with everybody to some extent or another, but I get the feeling it happens a little more with me because of my relative lack of experience writing characters.

It's still weird hearing about Oregon in the news for me. EDIT: "Portland powering homes using underground water turbines." Which Epic is responsible for that? Does CorpseMaker know about this?

Having a Bad Day? Stop here for a Good Rant!

I hope for your sake that's not what you have, Winter. It catches like the cold and feels like ebola. Not a pleasant thing to have in your house hold. -
Si-Fi Mistborn Blackhole Speculation

Huh. I thought this was in the Mistborn board. Welcome to the 17th Shard, Relytdragon! -

Toss Odium into its event horizon. Plotline resolved. -
Outsparkle Shiny Sparkle?

That is true. After all, Lightwards isn't allied with Toymaker but he still benefits from her existence. And I am your Chief Aide. Which makes me... a secondhand rainbow vampire, maybe?
-
I'm wishing that it's preservable enough for you to mail me a slice. Lightwards dislikes fancier foods, generally thinking that connoisseurs are a bunch of stuck-up, arrogant prigs. (The irony is lost on him.) When he was a professor this attitude plus his general miserly financial discipline drove him to eat very cheaply most of the time. Meaning Ramen noodles and tins upon tins of spam. With that in mind, his favorite cheese would be probably be Kraft singles. He's rational enough to know it won't eat him unless there's a cheese-related Epic involved. He avoids 99% of cheeses because he can't pronounce their names. His favorite of his remaining cheese varieties is string cheese, which he doesn't eat often because he likes to peel a stick of it into many different strings as he goes, a procedure which has been described within his earshot as "incredibly dorky" or even "dorktastic." Of course, he fears blue cheese altogether, both because it's Steelheart's favorite and because of an unfortunate run-in with the High Epic Gorgonzilla, who can create building-sized animated constructs out of any blue cheese. To this day, he believes blue cheese desires to eat him.
