  1. Yep, and we see exactly hope the Vorin areas treat lefty women. They make them use their right hand to write/draw.
  2. I was under the impression that Evi was left handed. Now I need to go find my books and reread the flashbacks about her trying to conform.
  3. As a whole, much like you described above. Those on the 4th and 5th Ideal though I read as much less about order and more about their cause.
  4. I figured as much, I appreciate your clarification. That isn't how I see Kel or the Skybreakers, but I can 100% see that as a way they could be read.
  5. I apparently read Kel very differently from you. His driving goal is to rid the Final Empire of TLR and as many nobles as possible and set up a Skaa government. Alternatively he is revenge personified on TLR for the events surrounding Mare and the Pits. Below is a copy/past from the Coppermind on the 4th Ideal for a Skybreaker. As laid out above, this is my take on what he is doing. Then we have the following note on the 5th Ideal for a Skybreaker. If we read that as Kel can use any method he chooses in his embodiment of law and truth (which must be a valid reading of the Ideal since there is a faction within the Skybreakers who reads it this way), then combined with the 4th Ideal information, we have exactly what I see in Kel. He's an incredibly focused/driven individual who was initially aimed solely at removing TLR and the nobles from power and setting up a Skaa government. Now, if you'd like to offer something that contradicts anything I've stated above I'd love to read it. The fact that many different people read Mr. Sanderson's work very differently is one of my favorite things about his writing. Side note, the original question was "What KR Order Would Kelsier Be?" I fail to read ANYTHING in there that says we are talking about his personality not his powers. So uh, with all due respect, it kinda seems like your argument is the baseless one. I realize it is the internet and all, but Storms, there is no need to throw insults around, especially on that unsound footing.
  6. I did. Kel follows his internal code with very few deviations and has ZERO issue killing people who run afoul of those ideals. Sounds a lot like a skybreaker to me. Oh and he can fly and destroy the #$%^ out of things. Also skybreaker!
  7. "Holding you brain hostage against your own stupidity- that was how to get stuff done."
  8. That sounds horrible...let us know how it turns out! I have a local burger joint where you can have a ground shrimp patty burger. I've often wondered what it would taste like to have one of those patties with a regular beef patty. Now I think I might have to try it, for science!
  9. So are you theorizing the Shin are not human then?
  10. Not only the metal cost, but in order to make this idea remotely worth it, she'd have to be able to know with a really high degree of certainty that whatever her investment structure is has a high enough rate of return to outstrip inflation. In our current (American) economic environment, putting money into a bank savings account and waiting 25 years will net you less effective money than you started with. Plus everyone you know would have aged 25 years without you!
