Onslaught

Thanks guys, I gotta say this is my first experience into public forums and the reception has been surprising. Thanks for making me feel welcome. Onslaught came from Marvel and Transformers. Super nerd here. It's also my gamertag

I was originally going to go with empathy but I tried answering this from a storytelling POV. Like ruin, there is a need for things to be destroyed. It gives humanity something to overcome, to aspire to. The conflict of humanity is to see that compassion and empathy are they highest forms of understanding. Knowledge does not equal understanding. My mantra would be use wisdom

Understanding/Enlightenment. People trying to attain a higher truth and ascending to what they believe is enlightenment. Of course things would go horribly wrong in the persuit of understanding. Inhumane and unethical experiments performed in the guise of true understanding. The external persuit. There would be a sect of people finding peace within themselves, looking internally for understanding to counteract the external. Sports would exist purely to explore physics and an understanding of how to make equipment better pr play the sport better but not enjoying it. I envision the word to be somewhat sterile though as rationality has struggled power away from empathy.

My fav character... wow that is tricky but I'd probably go with Dalinar. Love his tortured character arc and his honor. His history is dark and he's got his issues but I love the reformation. The desire to do better. I've read Mistborn trilogy 1 & 2, Stormlight 1, 2, 3 & Edgedancer, reading Elantris atm. I have read non cosmere - Snapshot. Best book is tricky... I'd say Mistborn 1 as it got me into Sanderson and it's a fun read but depthwise... I'd say Oathbringer as I love Dalinar. What is the alleyverse?

Greeting all, I'm Chris AKA Onslaught. I've been hovering around this site and the coppermind for a while now and decided I would take the plunge and sign up.
