I noticed it too, and my first thought was Watership Down.

Again, it wasn't so much the actions in and of themselves, but how they were written. The sections where Vin takes on the traits of a noblewoman are markedly different than when Wayne takes on different personas (where Vin acted, Wayne WAS the person). Vin didn't create elaborate back stories replete with grandchildren for a disguise that was being used for a short amount of time. But, I'm also open to the fact that it might just be a natural talent of Wayne, and that is probably honestly the case.

No, I wouldn't think he was Kandra, that would be almost too strange.. it just seemed that the way it was mentioned in the story made it more important somehow, more than just a gift with people. @Darnill I see what you're saying.. but so much of allomancy is based on intuition and "feel" that it might not seem out of the ordinary to just be able to create personas with full backgrounds and motivation as well as pick up dialects instantly (from his perspective). Again, it's all just speculation anyway, and in all honesty, it wasn't so much the actions themselves that struck me, but more in how other people around them referred to those abilities. I'm just not sure how much has been changed by Harmony(or if he really even has a say in it), or how the God metals work in conjunction with other metals. Or even what the God metals are for that matter. I just know that Brandon has managed to throw me for a few loops in my day Edit: Actually, I just realized I do know what the God metals are, but not how they would work in conjunction with the other metals. Plus, if I remember correctly, the mist has been known to provide a catalyst for allomancy right?

I'm getting the feeling that there is a lot more to Wayne and his abilities in AoL than we're originally lead to believe. They way he explains his ability to pick up and learn dialects and accents, the completeness with which he creates every persona he adopts (remember the old lady?) and even the way he can turn a group of suspicious officers into fast friends in an instant with one story. Don't want to get ahead of myself, but there seems to be more going on here than just a simple case of an engaging personality. Thoughts? Am I just looking too deeply at it?
