I dunno, I'm not much of a theorizer, but I haven't done much with RPs either.  I guess I'll just see what happens.

 

Alternatively you could always be a general fun discussions fan, or a lurker, or whatever you want C: Welcome to the Shard!

welcome! Nice username!

Honorspren are too restrictive. I'd rather get an inkspren. I think I'm probably to emotional though. 

Are those the ones for Elsecallers? I don't quite remember. I just think Windrunners are awesome

I liked Adolin because his viewpoints kept me from getting too bored during the Dalinar chapters (sorry Dalinar, I'm sure Oathbringer will help me love you). I think he's a good character, but still pretty overrated among the fandom.

Alternatively if you are a Lightweaver and your truth is... you know that test yesterday... well I cheated.

Lies. Delicious lies. All the Honorspren are shaking their heads right now.

For that matter, you know you're a Sanderfan when you don't cheat, for fear of offending any Honorspren who might attempt to bond with you.

I chose the same, and this was almost my exact logic.

However, I also just like the idea of having a spren buddy.

this was what ultimately made my decision for Radiant over Mistborn. Plus, a spren also functions as a Swiss army weapon/tool that you can summon at will. That's pretty OP, whether in the Cosmere or the modern world. (I wonder if a spren could become a pen? Probably not because of the ink, but would be nice to not worry about losing those.)

Alternatively, if you're a Lightweaver:

"What am I? I'm terrified about finals."

Tesh, why is this not your avatar??

(Man, I stepped away from the Shard for a day and this thread exploded... I suppose, being a Sanderfan, I should not be surprised by this.)

On the subject of college=desolations:

Study before sleep.

Knowledge before ignorance.

Homework before procrastination.

The Knights Collegiate must rise again.

Thanks for keeping this thread alive guys! I'm a little bit technologically challenged so I have been trying to figure out how to make some memes, just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Roxas is better than Sora in personality, IMO, but the backhand keyblade wielding drives me crazy.

Ventus is the one who wields backhand, though he and Roxas look exactly the same, I do like Roxas a lot better. Roxas/Axel/Xion friendship is probably my favorite group in the series, though again, I'm biased because I love Days.

When it comes to characters in general, I've noticed I tend to like characters together where I don't care about them as much individually. For example, while I like the Avengers because of fun banter and stuff, there aren't any of them that I care for too much personally.

@Calderis @Taliax

Just looked in HoA. Marsh has F-speed. He uses it against Goradel. Flash-Marsh confirmed.

Quote from book

 

Ah.  In this case, I would probably give it to Marsh in a fair fight; if there were shenanigans involved, Vin might still  pull through.  After all, she did beat Zane when he was using atium.  She could potentially wear out his speed through trickery, not sure though.   I'm kind of just throwing out stuff on both sides now.  I'm too indecisive to be much good at this.  Too much like Ham I guess

When you pray at night for Brandon's health and safety, so that he will live long enough to finish writing the Cosmere.

@Shadowmancer You make a good point about Vin, considering also that hemalurgy's stolen powers are at least slightly weaker than the original. I think the reason I keep thinking Marsh has F-steel is because an Inquisitor qt the beginning of HoA had it, and I expected Marsh to have every power the other Inquisitors did. If he doesn't have that or a shardblade, Vin could win. I think she did actually defeat most of the Inquisitors in HoA before drawing on the mist, because she couldn't do that until Marsh ripped out her earring. The fact that Marsh has a known weakness in the linchpin spike does increase her chances.

Mwa ha ha ha ha!!!

Sorry it's upside down.

Also, I didn't stick them on, in case anyone was worried. Look at the obligator on tWoA!

Lol I just recently saw a pic like this of Axel from Kingdom Hearts, this made me laugh.  But it would be way better if Steris had googly eyes.

You know you're a Sanderfan when you spend multiple hours reading WoBs, and still don't feel like you have enough info about the Cosmere.

Aqua (Kingdom Hearts): She is someone who wasn't supposed to be a hero and she ended up doing the most damage to Xehanorts schemes. Her determination to protect her friends is something I love about her but is flawed when it comes to the darkness.

Nynaeve (Wheel of Time): Out of all the characters in this series Nyn has to be my favorite with her fierce, but kind, approach to doing things, willing to go around the rules of what is possible and the moment she gets over her block is pure awesome!

I almost put these two as well, with WoT there are so many awesome people it's hard to pick, and Aqua is up there in my favorite KH characters (definitely my favorite female character).  My current project for before school starts back is to finish a fanfic I've been working on with Aqua and Vanitas trapped in the Realm of Darkness together, and through writing that I've come to love Aqua a lot more.

Everything goes.

In this case, I have to add Roxas and Vanitas from Kingdom Hearts. Roxas's story was what got me into the games, I played 358/2 Days before anything else. He's just a really warmest character trying to understand life and survive who's tired of taking crap from people.(and he's an adorable kid at the same time.)

Vanitas I probably enjoy more in the fandom than in canon, but his powers of creating monsters out of his emotions has a lot of awesome potential. His snarky lines make him a really fun villain too.

Is this limited to book characters or does it include movies/video games/etc.?

For books I'd have to say Deryn from the Leviathan series by Scott Westerfield. She just had a fun personality that was really enjoyable to read, and I loved her conflicts with having to masquerade as a boy is the air force, like an awesome steampunk Mulan.

I can't decide on my favorite WoT character, right now, and everyone else who would definitely be on my list is a Brandon character, so...

If Jasnah dies without betray her oaths, she won't drop a shardblade, I think there is a WoB on the matter.

Oh okay, thanks C: I think Marsh would still win, but I don't think he knows enough to steal a Nahel bond and get a shardblade. I just think F-steel plus F-gold wins it for him.

I don't think Marsh necessarily has to steal the bond, couldn't he take the shardblade once Jasnah dies anyway? ( not sure if that's how it works for living spren or not.)

I agree with Marsh, Roaden, and Kelsier being the winners for the reasons already stated. Sorry Vin. I think if Marsh doesn't have the shardblade, he still wins because of the healing factor and because she only beat him in the first place with the mists.

Yes! I love that Green Lantern! His friendship with Flash was one of my favorite parts of the show.

Moiraine and Lan time was supposed to be another book, which, unfortunately, was never written. Androl and Pevara did great, but we had very little time with them. But I still prefer Siuan and Gareth and Nynaeve and Lan

Ah darn.  Well that makes me feel better at least, even if it never did get written.  Siuan and Gareth and Nynaeve and Lan were pretty awesome too. 

Yeah I was very disturbed by Tylin too, that was what made me dislike Mat's plot line a lot in the middle of the series, not that it was his fault.  I agree that part of what made it so bad was how no one took him seriously about it.

I started out the series being very bored by Perrin, but by the end I really enjoyed his character.  (Maybe because comparitively to the others, his pairing felt way less weird and creepy.)

Honestly Pevara and Androl were my favorite pairing in the series.

New Spring was just really weird and a little disturbing too, I was sadly disappointed with that book considering I was looking forward to reading it for a long time.  I guess I had hoped for more Moiraine and Lan time and less "Moiraine and Siuan go shopping" time.  (Though her Aes Sedai testing was cool.)  I didn't expect it to take like the whole book just for them to meet each other.
