No, that's not really something he does. Come to think about it, I can't recall any series he's written that even has magic in it. And organizing it into a logical, well thought out system? Ha! Are you sure you're on the right website? .... I'm totally kidding. Everything he's written has an incredibly intelligent magic system that he can talk about with gusto and excitement for hours. (Check out the Arcanum in the links section.) I recommend the Reckoners series if you liked the Rithmatist. For more traditional magic fantasy, try his flagship Stormlight Archive series, or the Mistborn books. Or, his new book Skyward is out. I hear it's good. Or the Alcatraz books (another YA series). What I'm trying to say is all his books are fantastic.

Having a plethora of hemalurgic spikes do open you up to allomantic hijacking. The back story is cool (what parts I understood ) and I like his first skill, but couldn't you just interpret the justice weakness as a mandate to destroy evil characters, Nightblood style?

Perhaps a compromise? Either the Epic power or the channeling. That would be less OP.

I have not read the Wheel of Time series. As such, I can't accurately judge if the character is OP. If someone who has read it could help me out here, I'd appreciate it. But I suspect the sentiment is in the wrong place. If the goal is to create a powerful character for the purpose of competing with other powerful characters, it may not end well. If people are excited about an idea, I hesitate to say no, but I prefer if RPers develop characters from the bottom up, rather than top down. It makes for funner, fairer RP.

If I base it off my name, it would have to be Callsign: Arrow. If I go for something related to where I'm from, perhaps Callsign: Touque. But I think the one I'd use would be in honour of everyone's favourite (former ) planet, Callsign: Pluto.

Somewhere on the island, near the edge Klo panted an he ran, his feet slapping the uneven ground. He knew he was bleeding. The sharp rocks underfoot didn't help. But he kept on sprinting, headed across the flat, sandy expanse that made up the beach on this side of the island. The rough sounds of the waves smashing into the shoreline lured him in. Behind him, he could hear nothing. There was a complete lack of sound. That's how he knew they were chasing him. He thought back to his escape, preparing an explanatory internal monologue. Had it really been just thirty minutes since he'd dug his way out that cage? Suddenly, his thoughts were cut off by an eerie silence. He squinted at the water. It was still there, waves crashing upon each other, but he couldn't hear them. It was as if he'd been suddenly struck deaf. A muted rustling noise came from his left. He followed it blindly, picking up speed again. As he followed it, it got progressively louder. I can make it. Just a little further, he thought desperately. Then he felt a sharp pang of pain in his right thigh. He fell hard, face plowing into the dirt. More pain followed, along his legs and back. Then, the sweet relief of sleep.

1. I should think that a famous historical location like Plymouth wouldn't need to advertise. They probably have reenactments that they tell people about on their Facebook page, but they're well ingrained in pop-culture, so they shouldn't need to. 2. Plymouth rock is the place the Mayflower landed in 1620. There were pilgrims aboard, possibly English ones. They disembarked at some point and founded America (not the official one, but the settlements that somehow ended up as a country). It soon became apparent that they had too many shoes and too little experienced farmers, so they nearly starved. But then some indigenous people gave them some food, and they celebrated by starting a holiday known as Thanksgiving. Everyone else in the world laughed and said, 'November? That's a silly time for a holiday. We'll celebrate in October thank you very much.' 3. Three is what that guy from Divergent becomes when he gets over one of his fears. 4. 71 got picked on as a kid because he's, well, odd. 5. *randomly draws Scrabble tiles from a bag* It's seven multiplied by eight. 6. A prime number. 7. Not a prime number. (Ha! Loser.) 8. Better than 87 (who still isn't prime). 9. Someone's phone number, if you put an area code on it. 10. If I had a flamethrower, some balloons, and a bag potatoes, I would fill the balloons with hydrogen, position the potatoes over them, likely on one of those turny spike things they use to cook small animals, then stencil the Boring Company logo on the side of the flamethrower, sell it online for more than it's worth, and buy myself some properly baked potatoes because baking them via explosion is a terrible idea. 11. If I were Hamlet's doctor, I'd diagnosis him as being truly insane based on those words. Say what you want about hawks and handsaws, but people who talk to themselves are clearly mad. 12. Three, I think. 13. Do you mean an English, Irish, Scottish, International, or American mile? I'll assume you mean an American mile. The logical amount would be 1000 feet, or maybe 1200 since it's based on a different number. But let's calculate this. I know based on car's speedometers that there's about 50 miles in 80 kilometers. 5 miles : 8 km Therefore 6.25 miles : 10 km .625 miles/km 1.1 m = 1 yard (based on rulers). There's 3 feet per yard. 1.1 m : 3 feet 1.1 km = 3000 feet 1 km = 2700 ish feet # feet/mile = (2700)/.625 = 4320 [I had to use a calculator for that one] Therefore, there are 4320 feet in a mile. 14. That's got to be a trick question. I'm fairly confident it's just one. 15. KING HENRY!

My apologies. I believe I've fixed that now, let me know if you ever spot anything else that needs fixing. Thanks.

An entrepreneurial man approached, and posted a picture and a notice.

Get comfortable lads, this is going to take a while. I have not read: Skyward (which I intend to read sometime) Legion (but I have a hold on it at my library, so that will soon change) Mitosis and Snapshot (I love the Reckoners series, so these are on my bucket list) Edgedancer (believe me, it was incredibly difficult to write a roast of Lift based solely on her Coppermind article) Infinity Blade Wheel of Time White Sand Perfect State Firstborn Centrifugal Anything With 'Prime' in It's Title Those Stories He Has Put in Anthologies But Not Published Elsewhere. (I can't think of any more off hand, but I'm sure there's some I've missed) Dragonsteel The Liar of Partinel Shout-out to the Arcanum, Coppermind, and fellow RPers for filing in my knowledge gaps. I intend to read more Sanderson books in the future, but I've got other books on my list too (like Name of the Wind), so it might be a while.

1. Hemalurgy violates multiple human rights, promotes violent cultism, villainizes science, and had a monopoly on the baked goods market. Not cool! 2. The Ghostbloods love to spy on other guilds. As such, they've tried (and succeeded a few times) to infiltrate TUBA. The TUBA PM is full of Top Secret and Very Important Information *cough Princess Bride quotes cough*, so I can't afford to make mistakes with who sees it. I'd have to be extremely confident that a Ghostblood wouldn't divulge any information to their guild if they became a member. Usually, the risks are just too high, but at some point I hope to be able to open up membership. TL;DR I'm paranoid. 3. Guac is the greatest substance on the face of the Earth. I love it more than anything. I would gladly recommend guac to a friend or colleague. This speech has not been rehearsed. 4. Eggnog is the greatest substance on the face of the Earth. I love it more than anything. I would gladly recommend egnnog to a friend or colleague. This speech has not been rehearsed.

I'll ping him for you. @Archer

Also distantly, the sound of a team of TUBA morticians being dispatched to collect the bodies of the defendants after the DA lawyers had finished with them could be heard. They had really squeaky shoes.

Elsewhere. About three metres off the ground. Klasten spun slowly, his feet tied to a high branch of an indigenous deciduous tree. A yellow pika-like creature, whose tail shape made it look like it was being perpetually struck by lightning, kept jumping up to poke his face, sending Klo spinning even faster. Klo tried to grab it with his hands. It bit his finger. "Leek," Klo told it. "I don't wand any trouble, tribble." The creature punched him in the nose. "How am I ene hair?" Klo continued, still feeling the effects of the poison from before. He got no response. The torture lasted for several more hours, until the rodent got bored. Klo had passed out, so it wasn't as fun anymore. It scampered away, as, in the distance, the beat of tribal drums could be heard approaching.

Elantris spoilers to follow. There's a good thread here that discusses this. We know that Elantrians are only 'chosen', the power can't be inherited (source), so the Shaod has complete control over the rate of the Elantrian population's growth. It must make new Elantrians at a sustainable rate, avoiding over-population issues by not making more Elantrians than can be supported by their available resources. Based on this WoB, I'd guess that being an Elantrian doesn't give one significantly greater mental ability than other Selish. So, one's accumulated memories, experiences, and stresses build up over time, but your ability to process and deal with them doesn't improve. You know how old people get grumpier with age? Elantrians wouldn't have to worry about injuries and diseases that dramatically decrease their mental ability, like Alzheimer's, but eventually they too will become grumpy, fed up with life, and ready to hop in Devotion's Perpendicularity. Or, something causing instantaneous death will kill them prematurely. This reduces the population, making room for new Elantrians. In conclusion, my view is that Elantrians who have good self-control and strong wills could live to be several hundred years old, but they'd have a lot on their mind by then. How that impacts their ability to act normally would be up to the person. Side note: It would also be fascinating to see where they end up on the political spectrum after several centuries of living, but that's a topic for another time.

I don't think they're the one in question, but @sithmeacaf, @armandooble, and @rebekah79 are ad bot accounts you could spike experiment on.

My work-around for that is to post a status update on their page, then report my post. Alternatively, you could PM them, then report your PM's OP. I find that the mod's response is often underwhelming in these cases. Usually they remove their About Me page, and purge the info from their bio, but rarely delete the account. Sure, most bots are harmless, and hardly worth reporting. For most accounts, people will only see the ads if they go to the bot's profile page. But leaving the account intact means their username is unavailable for real people, and it artificially inflates our member tally. I know that the mods don't want to accidentally delete a real person's account, so for benign accounts they often play it safe and just maim it, which is fine. But I wish they had an option to 'hide' accounts, like they can do to posts (maybe create a special title for bots, like the Arcanist and Global Mod titles, but it revokes the accounts ability to be seen). Or they renamed obviously fake accounts SPAMBOT####### to free up their username and make it obvious what they are. That said, I don't want to take away from all the great work they currently do to fight bots. Y'all are super dedicated and on top of things, and I appreciate it.

LAAAAAAADRIAN! Why don't you caaaaarry on with what you're doooooing, 'Cause there's aaaaalways... Annnnd now that song will be stuck in my head for the rest of the day. @Ladrian

Klo continued to go slightly mad.

Elsewhere on the island. A tree branch hit Klasten in the face. He cursed under his breath, insulting the tree’s mother. The tree didn’t reply. Ahead of him, his guide rambled about the local flora as he cut a path through the undergrowth with his machete. “When the outside temperature rises,” he loudly proclaimed, “One thousand and one yellow daffodils begin to dance in front of you. Oh dear.” He abruptly froze, and Klasten rear-ended him. Rubbing his jaw, Klasten peered over the man’s shoulder to see what he ad stopped for. On the ground, a pair of small rodents glared back at him. “Are they trying to tell you something?” Klasten asked wryly. The guide began to stammer a response, but Klasten cut him off. “To be honest, you haven't got a clue,” he said, pushing past him. He tried to step over the rodents, but as he did, one of them leaped up and sunk its sizable teeth into Klasten’s boot. “It finally happened!” the guide crowed. He held his hand up and the tree high-fived it. The rodents ran off, gleefully shrieking. Meanwhile, Klasten had dramatically paled. “I'm coming down with a fever,” he said softly. Then fell backwards, unconscious before he’d even hit the ground. In his head, four words kept repeating over and over, a repetitive chorus beating his brain like a hammer hitting an anvil. The guide crouched next to him to search his pockets. He accomplice stepped out from the bushes to help him, picking off the sticks and leaves he’d taped to himself as he went. The guide asked him what he was supposed to be. “I think I'm a banana tree,” the man replied. Within minutes, they’d searched Klasten’s person, and removed his valuables. They took his hat, boots, ammo belt, and spare gun. They left him his bag though because it felt empty. They then ran back the way they’d came so they could start a guided tour for the next gullible tourist.

I'd would recommend specifying time-frame if it changes your character dramatically. [Calamity, Mistborn spoilers to follow] But there are no restrictions as to when they can come from.
