Clockwork

I, Chasmfiend, pledge me and my blade, Shadowrage, to this clan, the Knightbloods. We will fight with honor! He's dead... and here, we don't fight... That's not what I meant... And what do you mean, we don't fight?! *Sigh*

A large man in a suit of armor strides in. I wish to join this clan! I came too late... everyone's asleep...

Well, someone told me (I'm not certain who) that if a shard moved to Scadrial, then they could invest to make metal. This would mean the Magic comes from the World, not the shard. The shard simply makes a magic more powerful.

His power is like the earlier type but weaker, and more spercific. I will tell no more.

So, I used to live in Corvallis, and my character seems to fit there, so I was thinking of joining there. I'm just making sure this is okay. Right? I was wondering how you put the pictures in the post, I can't figure out how to do it.

So, I posted my Epic profile on "Epics of Oregon" but no one has given me feedback, so I'm going to post it here for feedback. I'll edit the other one later. This includes a scene with his powers. Name: Chasmfiend Age: 23 Appearance: Has a very angular face, and eyes that are slanted like an elves'. His ears are noticebly pointed, and his hair is stained violet from his beasts, blood. His skin is marbled with violet as well, but is mostly a pale silvery color. Primary Power: Bestial Creation Only able to create an enormously large 18-legged beast that has a nearly impenetrable shell. It has large claws on the front four legs, and it's carapace is spiked all the way down, and has a large emerald in its chest. If killed, he can summon it again in 15 min. He controls it with mind control, but can only control it. Secondary Power #1: Earthshattering Can cause the earth to split open, creating a very large canyon or chasm large enough for his beast. It takes him a good 15 min. to fully open one. They do not close back up again. Secondary Power #2: Property Enhancing He can enhance an object's properties, making it harder, sharper, stronger, or such. He can also do this to himself or someone else to make them stronger, faster, or such. Secondary Power #3: Healing He heals quickly, and his touch can increase the healing speed of another person. Weakness: Extreme storms/disasters cause it so his powers don’t work, but Chasms and Enhancements continue. (Example of Extreme Disaster: 7.5 Earthquake, Lvl5 Hurricane, LvlF4 Tornado, etc.) Outfit: A very large suit of enhanced armor that is nearly unbreakable, and an extremely large enhanced sword that's very light and can cut through nearly anything like its air. Positive Traits (and Corrupted): Honorable (Completely Negated), Patient (For traps, not lines), Protective (of Himself) Negative Traits: Pessimistic, Secretive, Ireful (Easily roused to Anger) Before Calamity, Darren Jarnot (JAR-no) was an starting architect that was trying to build walls and buildings that could withstand Hurricanes, Earthquakes, and whatever else earth threw at them, so that he might finally feel safe. When he turned, he ended up tearing down his structures, and moved to Oregon, where a lot fewer large storms happen. Scene for example: Chasmfiend was looking at the sunset. It was a nice pink that day, and he could finally stop traveling. His beast was lying down next to him, asleep. He had arrived in southern Oregon, and was a little northwest of the town McDermitt. Not quite to where he was going, but closer. A lot closer. He suddenly heard the shot of a gun, and felt his armor get pushed forward. There would be no dent; his armor had never let him down, and probably never would. He got up instantly, looking for the source of the gunshot. There, to the west- on that mountain, He thought. The beast stirred slightly. Wake up, you brute. Chasmfiend told in his mind. Quicker than one would think a creature this large would be able to move, it stood on sixteen small, pointy legs, and four very large, clawed ones. After him. Another gunshot. Tiny splinters of carapace flew from the creatures’ head. It didn’t slow or waver. Not unless it gets shot in the eye, and then it uses smell. The sniper, a normal human by the looks of it, turned to run, and suddenly ran into a large man suited in metal. “Y-you! How?” He stammered. Chasmfiend brought his sword up, and slammed it down, but the human rolled to the side first. The sword hit stone, but kept going, until the entire blade was buried. Chasmfiend drew it again. The man had gotten out a pistol, and shot through the faceplate. Chasmfiend picked the man up, and the man saw a glimpse of the horror underneath. His face was silvery, and marbled with purple. The wound had hit his eye, but was closing rapidly. Chasmfiend ripped his head off, and threw the body over the mountain side. The beast found it, and ate it. Come, He commanded. He stretched his arms out, and slowly, as the earth creaked, the ground opened. The beast went first, and he lay by the beast again. Time to finish their rest.

So, I was told to put the new epic profile and a scene in the Epics of Oregon thread, but when I look for feedback, do I look there, or here?

TwiLyghtSansSparkles said in the questions thread to put the profile and a scene of an epic in development here, so here it is;

I've been thinking about joining a RP, so I decided to try the Reckoners series RPs. I was wondering what you guys thought about this possible profile of a Epic, and which RP he could join; Name: Chasmfiend Age: 23 Appearance: Has a very angular face, and eyes that are slanted like an elves'. His ears are noticebly pointed, and his hair is stained violet from his beasts, blood. His skin is marbled with violet as well, but is mostly a pale silvery color. Primary Power: Transformation/Bestial Creation Only able to turn into an enormously large 18-legged beast that has a nearly impenetrable shell. It has large claws on the front four legs, and it's carapace is spiked all the way down, and has a large emerald in it's chest. If killed, he comes back out of the head, and can transform back into it in 15 min., during which he is vulnerable (though it's not his weakness). Secondary Power #1: Earthshattering Can cause the earth to split open, creating a canyon or chasm barely large enough for his beast to fit through. It takes him a good 15 min. to fully open one. They do not close back up again. Secondary Power #2: Property Enhancing He can enhance a object's properties, making it harder, sharper, stronger, or such. He can also do this to himself or someone else to make them stronger, faster, or such. Secondary Power #3: Healing He heals quickly, and his touch can increase the healing speed of another person. This only works on or below ground level. Weakness: Extreme storms cause it so he can't transform, and if also exposed to large amounts of gems during a storm, enhancement powers are weakened. Healing only works on or below ground level. Outfit: A very large suit of armor that is insanely hard, and an extremely large sword that's very light and can cut through nearly anything like it's air. Positive Traits: Honorable, Patient, Protective Negative Traits: Pessimistic, Secretive, Ireful (Easily roused to Anger)

Hearthstone has all the stormlight gems.

I hate them both. Stormlight is like ice cream...

The format is different once posted than when making it... Oh well. Oops... I forgot why people hate me. They hate me because I tend to turn their cities in to chasm networks and eat a bunch of them. Or slice them to pieces. Whichever.

So I've been reading the theories here, and when I read about Shadowblazes being possible Chalklings, I started thinking about how Melody can tell a chalkling to do something, because if a Shadowblaze were a chalkling, they would have stopped moving, because they had no orders. However, Melody is able to give them a prompt and they follow it. Could it be that Shadowblaze are chalklings made by extra-powerful Rithmatists that give them a prompt that continues after death? And if this is true, perhaps there are Shadowblaze leaders or such that are more powerful than normal ones that give this special ability? And if all this is true, could Melody turn Joel into a Rithmatist?

Mine would probably be getting tired or stretching, forget what I was doing. *YAWN* Wait, what was I saying?

I agree that they do not become thunderclasts, but still possibly voidbringers. After all, at least one artist thought they looked like they, and at the time, perhaps he had references in books before they were destroyed.

Granted, but it's always covered in mold. I wish for infinite knowledge and wisdom.

So, while I was reading in the coppermind, I noticed some people thought chasmfiends were early versions of Thunderclasts. Later, while I was reading about spren, it said in Navani's notebook that you trapped some spren, like coldspren and heatspren, to make a fabrial work. This means spren can inhabit gems. So, do you think a voidspren could inhabit the gemheart of a greatshell to control and transform it into a voidbringer? And do the gems have to be a certain shape for spren to inhabit it, or just to trap it inside so it can't come out?

I read for the systems of magic quite a bit, as well as the creatures, but the characters are what I think make a book truly good. No matter how good the magic and world are, if the characters are bad, then I simply cannot continue reading. The plot is probably second, then the world and systems. even with bad systems and such, good characters and a well-thought out plot makes good fantasy.

Well, I'm fairly sure the spren don't cause lashings or anti-gravitation, because spren are attracted to what their named after, they don't cause it, like windspren or gloryspren.

Mine doesn't get mixed up. If it does not compute, it will on the 3rd, 4th, or sometimes 5th reading.

Granted, but you are a cursed elantrian, not a blessed one. I wish for the ability to use all investures.

You say you are an addict, but at over 250 reads of his books in two years (most of those were repeats) I must say you are not as addicted as me. I preferred the Mistborn trilogy over Warbreaker, then Elantris, then Warbreaker. So Warbreaker is the fourth favorite of my favorite books/series (SA being in first by a long shot.).

Half your days are spent cold, and half are warm. Every 5 warm days & cold days, there is one extra cold day and one extra warm day. This continues on and on. I wish for the ability to create anything.
