Zephrun’s Imperium

So, I've been thinking. What would a Shard of Apathy look like? And more importantly, could it go head to head against Odium? (I see your Passion and Rayse you Apathy) The question would be how to create it and what it could do. We gotta find the most boring person in the cosmere and stuff them with enough Investiture to get them to Ascend. But... what kind of Investiture? (Unless it somehow already exists. Just floating around in space not caring.) Intent is another weird thing. Would it just not care? Would it want to make other people not care? And what would someone using its power be able to do? Have the exceptional ability to procrastinate? Or... would they be able to suck up other sources of Investiture? Like a human Nightblood. Shardblade comin' at my face? No problem. You want to use Division on me? Sorry. That don't work. I actually started thinking about this when I wondered what could happen if you spiked Preservation somehow, but I'm pretty sure that would be really really hard and it wouldn't have the effect you wanted. Not that it isn't still worth discussing. Which brings up another question. What would the effects of spiking a Shard be? I don't think anyone's ever really brought it up before. Would Ruin have some sort of power over the spiked Shard? Would it just give them more power? Anyway, this is all kinda out of the box and I'm curious to see what you guys think.

I've had a similar experience. Kell's close to my heart. I'm a lot happier 'cause of that man. Welcome to the Shard! And hey, you've read Secret History right? If you like Kelsier that much then it's worth worlds.

Well, welcome! Who's your favorite cosmere character and what's your favorite Sanderson book?

Well, you'll fit in just fine around here!

If you liked the first trilogy a lot, you probably should. And if you liked Kelsier a lot, then read Secret History (you can read it before or after Era 2. Most people will tell ya to do so after, but I say it doesn't matter.) I can't say very much about it because that would be spoilery, but it's my favorite thing by Brandon Sanderson so... yeah. Have you read any of the other Cosmere books?

KELSIER! I'm practically a Survivorist. Have you read Era 2?

I thought her death was touching and necessary. I thought it wrapped up the series really well. Welcome to the Shard! Who's your favorite character?

Dude, I literally thought of "This is Hoid" earlier. How awesome is that?! But no, no one's taken a crack at it. Go for it! Also, update on Come Alive, this week has been crazy, but I'll probably finish it this weekend.

Aww, thanks! Have an upvote.

Granted, but it becomes so popular that no one wants to watch anything else. They canceled Endgame for it. Thanks a lot, @hoiditthroughthegrapevine. I wish for the ability to hear other peoples' thoughts at will. Storms, that was on the other page. Ha, ha, I'm an idiot.

I don't think there is a grammar system. The point is to be wonky, right? And in my experience, most of the meaning is derived from the way you say phrases; where the emphasis is and what not. As for how I do it, well... See, when I talk in it for a while (either to annoy people, impress people, or have fun) my brain will automatically think what I should say next in it. It's kinda fun, but it makes it hard to switch from one dialect to the other. Ah, I do this way too much. I really like Kelsier so most of my curses circle around him, but I'm not above a "storms" (or a "What on Braize?") every once in a while. As for your "for goodness' sake" stand-in, I would suggest using a favorite character, but really you could do anything.

Kelsier! But as far as SA goes, its Renarin, Szeth as a close second.

Aww, storms. I wanted to post them someplace. My friend's locker perhaps. Join the new Inquisition! some hemalurgy required

Lift as Dominion. BOW TO LIFT, SUPREME RULER OF ALL PANCAKES!

That easy? Life just gets better and better! PS Where did you get those fliers?

When you think in High Imperial.

Thirding! I wonder how hard it is to join the Sliverists on Scadrial...

Oh, I could go on and on and on and on and... you get it. I love Marsh so storming much. He is amazing. He and Kell are my favorite characters in Mistborn and while Kelsier does just barely edge his brother out for the place of favorite character, Marsh still has a special place in my heart. Seriously, I met him and I shoved Kell aside for the moment and was just like, "Why, hello there, I will now devote my full attention to you." But then.... he was gone. He just wasn't in TFE enough. And then Kell died (I can say that here 'cause this is a spoiler thread, right?) so that kinda chiseled him into my brain for good. I was really excited for Marsh to be around in WoA and really interested about how he would deal with being an Inquisitor but then, same problem. He left and when he came back he was not himself. In HoA you get stuff from Marsh's perspective which is awesome and it makes you appreciate him a lot more. If Marsh was your favorite character in TFE then you will not be disappointed. Marsh deserves better. 'Nough said.

That... that's a really good point.

Xenia

Granted. You're the best tenor in Ruin's Inquisitor choir. Nice job on that solo last century by the way! I wish for the powers of a natural fullborn, no hemalurgy involved.

Well welcome! Have an upvote and don't accept no cookies from nobody.

Granted, but you're on Scadrial in an alternate universe where Preservation has more control. No weapons. You could hurt each other! I wish for my friends to read more Brandon Sanderson.

Really? Huh? Why do you think that is? That's interesting.

What cosmere books have you read?
