Ok, I have a general concept applicable to the template provided- but its not finished... Since the RP will revolve around our impact on it- is it necessary to start our character with a lot of influence (politically, etc) to start with? Or can we start our character with no ties? Chronomancywise, I might be able to lend a hand- if you're looking for logical explanations. Anyway, dilation, precognition/prescience, and stasis is good enough for me :3 I'm all for having a "religion", just not too keen about having to follow other peoples orders There must be some quiet belief system without hierarchy, etc- and most importantly, not tied with "religious" conflicts (in which I can already see there will probably be a lot of.. :3). Even if it means getting hunted or looked down on by larger religions, I'd rather that than making myself someone else's servant. In a perfect scenario, I would like to remain impartial religouswise- and not get involved, but as this game seems to revolve around Gods a lot, that might not be possible.. (Would it be possible to be a founder of a religion? :3) Finally... How would one "gather a gods attention"? Through "prayer" (or something), I assume? And what kind of magic are we talking about? Throwing fireballs and stuff? Thanks in advance ^-^

Has Zahel been mentioned? I can see Lyatil has a lot of evidence, but hear me out... Zahel is an Ardent (although not a devote Ardent) who has close relation to the highprinces, this means he can keep his Kandra codes (assuming he/she still keeps them), and be an influential figure to the highprinces. Assuming Zahel is TenSoon (as Tensoon, if I remember correctly- was one of the only kandra to survive, this also assumes Sazed hasn't made more Kandra...), that would explain his skills in fighting- he would have learnt from Vin firsthand. (Also worth noting, what if the Kandra is disguised as an animal? Perhaps a sureblood, etc) Zahel also mentions that he his old age and misses his home a lot... I understand its unlike Kandra to break character, but that seems to support my theory, considering Kandra have a longer lifespan than humans, and he would technically be very far from home. Most importantly, the wiki refers to Zahel having knowledge of the cosmere, therefore- something about Zahel is clearly fishy. Either he is a worldhopper or is en par with a world hopper to obtain such knowledge (maybe he's on good terms with wit? ). [http://stormlightarchive.wikia.com/wiki/Zahel] It might be worth looking over the encounter... I may be over complicating things though... Seeing the references to Warbreaker, I probably need to read that to get the full picture... Sorry if I'm just repeating infomation... x.x

Ok, I've gone over everything Some questions though... Should I announce a "character template" before the game begins? and if I do, what are my options? (I understand the game will take place in a bordering Medieval/fantasy theme- is our role in the story to influence and change the world around us (for the better, I assume :3) or to interact with it- and explore?) What is your stance on Chronomancy? (Time manipulation magic) I understand you have a magical system in play, would that branch of magick be applicable? (And more importantly, possible to use in a RP perspective?) And finally, I see there are a lot of "Factions"- is being aligned with one obligatory, or necessary? I understand magic is strongly tied with "Religion", will being apart from "Religous Factions" stint magical capabilities, and if so- are there other ways of gaining Magicks? Thanks for allowing me to join in ^-^ I look forward to playing :3

Can I sign up for joining in on the game? .o.

I'd like to join in to, if I'm not too late! .o. I have a bit of experience with RP, but nothing major... How do I sign up? :3 (if I still can... .~.)

For the sake of argument, suppose storing death didn't keep you "alive", but rather- stopped your body on a cellular level from "dying"? If anyone's seen "Torchwood", I'm basically referring to that bland of logic... This has been referred to broadly in other peoples suggestions, so I'll try and be as simple as possible... .3.; So, technically speaking- "death" occurs when all your cells stop respiring (to create energy to make more cells, etc), so using stored death would stop your body on a cellular level from working, even with the right components. Suppose then, that storing "Death" would cause your cells to function, even without the right components. So, that would mean your cells could still function without having to respire to create energy (and when using the stored metal, your cells would stop functioning). The cool thing about this would be that you wouldn't need to breath- as you wouldn't require oxygen for respiration- the same would apply for eating and drinking. You also wouldn't need blood (to an extent), as blood mostly carries around that oxygen (but blood also carries a bunch of other useful stuff like hormones, so that could only work in the short term). Obviously, your brain and nervous system aren't affected by the change, you'll still feel pain (but your body won't rot), and if your brain is severed somehow (or your muscles rip, or something...)- you won't be able to use them. Storing death only means that your Cells won't need to live off anything, so there are a variety of bodily functions that would be not needed (specifically revolving around distributing stuff to the cells). This is purely speculation, of course (it would probably make more sense for storing health, I guess... .3.- and doesn't really rely on any evidence, so I may be completely wrong. I'd appreciate being corrected :3

Shard of Doubt You never truly know if the magic is working....

Its not? Aw... XD Is that confirmed by Brandon? I mean, there must be some theories that links it in... right? Or is there some really in depth reason I haven't taken into account?

I have Warbreaker, I'll be reading it after I've finished Steelheart... XD I look forward to contributing to the conundrum of ideas with you all >:3 So, any tips for getting started? I don't know a lot of the facts, so should I stay out of the larger debates, and work my way upwards? Also, how does the "like" system work? I see each post can be "rated" (Should I rate posts sparingly or constantly?), and there's a "reputation" system (how does that work?)- Is there any etiquette I need to be aware of? (am I over complicating things? x.x) I figure I should ask now, rather than seem rude in the future... .3.; Also, is it possible to check if a theory has been discussed before or not? I imagine overlapping information can be an issue otherwise... x.x Thanks for the welcome too, I appreciate it ^-^

Ok, Thanks for clarifying (both of you )- I'll admit I'm only beginning to skim the surface of the story, so I've probably overlooked tons of stuff o.o So... Should I edit my previous posts with your corrections, or should I leave it as it is so people don't think you guys are making a fuss over nothing? I'm a little inexperienced with forum etiquette....

Hi! Um... I'm new here! Wazzap! ^-^ I've read the Mistborn series, the Stormlight archive, and Elantris (and soon SteelHeart ). I very much enjoy the concept of Secondary Creation (I believe that's the right term... x.x), so I've set up my own little turf thing (aka: an account ) so that I can discuss the immersive stories with other enthusiasts (while using very long words to try and sound clever ). Well, now that I'm here- I figured I should follow the primary ritual of introducing myself before flinging myself across the forum bubble. I love discussing (and debating >:3) theories, and Sandersons Novels leave the most interesting ideas I have yet to come across- so finding the site of discussing his "worlds" seems very exciting, so naturally I want to take part in the discussion. Now, I feel I may be a bit late for the party, is there anything I should know before I embark on my quest of conversation? (I hope that counts as an introduction... x.x)

Not bad for a first post, right? I'm still a bit new, so I may be a bit behind theorywise... .3.;
