Apollyon

@MoHaam A man in a large mistcloak approaches the bakery. He is spiked in multiple places, and radiates an aura of distorted color. "I'm afraid I can't do that for you kid. But I would gladly endorse you with a lifetime supply of cookies* if you could say those same words to me, once again, with real intent." The man flashes a suspiciously evil smile and holds out a plate of cookies. "Care to take my offer?"

@ElephantEarwax Granted, but you don't receive any Radiant powers. I wish to receive fully charged hemallurgic spikes at any time for my own use without having to kill anyone.

@I am Witless I'm afraid to say that this information in unknown. 97% of the time, our bakers just drop whatever spare spikes we have lying around into the batter. But it sure does make for some tasty cookie dough! I'd suggest trying one for yourself and seeing what happens!*

@Wyndlerunner Is right. There are lots of cookies here. Maybe try one?* Anyways, welcome to the Shard! have an up vote!

Quote one of your sales @Tesh here and Mac or Void should initiate you soon enough.

Full name: Alonze Ferro (goes by Al) Investiture: Natural Born A Iron/F Iron Twinborn, Awakener of the 2nd Heightening, nearly 3rd. Additional abilities: Very perceptive, can see through deception easily Nationality: Caucasian Height: 5'8" Age: 27-ish Hair color: Jet black with slight hints of gray Eye color: Olive Green Home planet: Scadrial Religion: Devout of the Church of Trell Spouse: N/A Parents: Unknown Siblings: N/A Children: N/A History: (I promise that it was entirely unintentional that this sounds like @Quell's history) Born and raised shortly after the Catacendre by a Terris tribe, being one of the first Twinborn to exist. Experimented with Iron compounding for a while and decided to leave his Terris tribe. At some unknown point in his young adulthood, he traveled to Nalthis, experimenting with the foreign Investiture. During his time on Nalthis, he reached the 2nd Heightening. Eventually he returned to Scadrial (where he resides currently). Personality: Alonze is very inquisitive and curious. He will often go to ridiculous lengths to obtain information he craves. This can lead to him becoming demanding, and if denied the truth long enough, slightly sadistic. He is generally a trailblazer and loves being the 'first' to do anything at all. (If anything is too vague or unacceptable here, just PM me)

As for Scadrial?

@MacThorstensonI would willingly give away my life soul for this cause.

@Snorkel I'm afraid that's classified information. But I've often heard that eating a cookie* gives extreme knowledge to the consumer. Maybe give it a try?

Hey! Never seen this group before, but I would love to join. But I have a few questions here. What time does the RP take place? Across all planets, but specifically Scadrial, Roshar, and Nalthis. Also, is my character(s) aloud to be hemalurgically spiked? If I'm doing something wrong I'd like someone to point me in the right direction. Looking forward to many great adventures with you! @Tesh

Two cookies* are better than one, more ways to experi- I mean eat. Just try it, they're so good it's a sin to not eat them.

Congrats Elephant! Your first Drab Only Club Member!

Welcome to the shard CranBerry! Have a cookie!* What's your favorite book in the cosmere?

Welcome to the shard! Have a cookie!* I would highly suggest reading Mistborn, it's a great series. What Sanderson books have you read so far?

So seeing as Hoid appears within both the final empire series and alloy of law series as my only evidence, when one worldhops, do you travel through time/can you? Or is it just the fact that Hoid has greatly extended his lifespan along with other worldhoppers?

So, MacThorstenson, having fully advertised your excellent baked goods here, am I considered a member of the DA?

Welcome to the shard! Don't listen to Snorkel, cookies are good for you! Have one! Cookies!*

After having read Arcanum Unbounded, something in The Emperor's Soul bothered me. It made me pseudo-revisit Elantris for answers, and I've come up with nothing. In Elantris, when the Dakhor monks show up, it describes them as having metal plates under there skin. At the time of my first reading, I assumed it was hemalurgy, but after reading Emperor's Soul, it seems to be soul stamping. Both are described as sort of defacing and twisting the body in unnatural ways, but I can't come up with an answer. Do we have a WoB or something on this?

Someone else has probably already asked this question, but I'm a little confused as to something in Mistborn: The Final Empire. In the book, Kelsier explains Steelpushing as a weight thing, you push on something lighter than you that is unsupported, it goes away, but if it is heavier than you or supported, you move in the opposite direction. If this is how Steelpushing works, how come Vin can hold her own in a pushing match with people thrice her size without the use of duralumin?

Hmm... Lemme think about that. I'd like to say that I would take Honor or Preservation, but I'd more likely take Ruin or Odium. No, no, Odium. Always Odium...

Hmm... Power: Probably my power would be to temporarily change myself, others, or objects around me to code, and then manipulate them through the code. Secondary Power: The power to act as a human flashdrive, plugging into things and getting memories or transferring them. Weakness: My weakness would be making eye contact with someone wearing contacts, I would lose my powers for the time making eye contact. Cheesy name: Umm... "Hacker?" Can't think of anything.

Well then, i will eat all the cookies!

Hey guys! I'm new to the 17th Shard, I'm a hardcore Sanderson fan, and have read all Cosmere books, The Reckonerverse, etc. If there is anything I should know before proceeding to immersing myself in 17th Sharders, feel free to respond. Bye!
