    I like this answer, I think it makes sense. In a similar vein, I think injecting someone with investiture from a metalmind would work similarly to if a feruchemist were touching another's metalmind. They'd be able to sense the stored power but wouldn't be able to access it, the way Vin felt Sazed's. If it's possible to extract the kinetic investiture from an allomancer actively using their powers, I'd imagine it to be a similar feeling of inaccessible power. Unless that's not how allomancy works. Also, Coppermind mentions that a non-Nalthian can use transferred Breaths, but it may be harder? However, according to the associated WoB, transferring Breaths via the Awakening command ("My life to yours, my Breath become yours") automatically keys the Breaths to the receiver. Forcefully moving the Breaths with Raysium would most likely not do the same courtesy. Since you need the Breaths to be keyed to your Identity, you can't really Awaken anything with that, can't even get rid of it, and once again you'd be stuck with inaccessible investiture Someone correct me if anything up there's wrong, but I feel like this is the general gist of things.

    Glad to see the Shard getting more active as school starts up around the world. Good job everyone, we are spending our time very wisely

      Like Coulson said, “this would never had worked if they didn’t have something to procrastinate.”

    Shrug. I dunno. If your favorite sandwich is not a sandwich then that wouldn't be a sandwich so The Sandwich would not transform? I like to imagine there's a default form of the sandwich, probably something like uhhh the TF2 Sandvich or something but it's really up to interpretation. I would not think too hard on this guys it's a sandwich

    Huh? Whazzat? My microwave ran out of batteries? That's really unfortunate. Worst thing that's happened to me in weeks. The only thing of note that happened recently too. Well. Back to my watchtower, where I oversee this boring battlefield where nothing bad ever happens. Huh? Whazzat? There's an meteor the size of a pebble on a direct path towards me, which will vaporize before hitting anything other than me? Da--

    I consider this. I agree with this. I throw a bomb at Riino, who's too preoccupied with walking to notice my 6'3" self. The bomb blows up, and the explosion shakes my dreads. btw I'm a feminist. And super rich. And handsome. 6'3" btw.

    It matters not, because With my Normal Water Gun, I shoot both Unintelligenius and KaladinsSenseOfHumorSpren in their eyes with my Normal Water That Totally Isn't Undiluted Acid. I take the Sandwich from the current owner, pour the rest of the Normal Water on them, and run away. Whether the magic worked or not, I get the Sandwich.

    Well not particularly, I doubt I could play them well. That and also I've got a trip coming up soon. So if you could take over, that'd be perfect, but again, I totally could play them if you'd prefer that.
  8. AltonicKeys
    hrmm. well. I don't wanna steal anyone's thing, and I don't want to delay anything by making a non-shard character, so, Proposed Odium character sheet, feel free to change things around So. If you'd like, sure, I could play Odium, but I could totally also just leave this character to you guys and stuff.

    hmm I dunno. I doubt I'll be able to portray an alternate Rayse very well. Or any other individual that decides to take up a fragment of God consisting of pure passion and emotion. I'm not a very active person? Besides I have very minimal knowledge of Cosmere shenanigans and I have a very surface level understanding of everything. ogre cannot understand deeper ideas like "remorse of conscience" that makes Sanderson's Cosmere a classic. (also i'll likely forget about it in a week) If you guys'd like, we could do that proposed thing where I make up a character sheet and leave it for KaladinsSenseOfHumorSpren to play as an NPC?

    uh uh whuh what's happening where am I

    Look dude, for the hundredth time, I'm sorry for bringing you on this trip. But like, how was I supposed to know there was an evil witch in the woods? And it's not my fault that you decided to aggravate her by going "ooohh I bet you'll turn me into a frog." Honestly, turning into a floating eyeball was kind of your fault. So there. Eeeeouch! Eeeyowwie! Eeeyikes!
  12. AltonicKeys
    i WISH that YOU would make a WISH for once
  13. AltonicKeys
    Actually yeah a whole pantheon would probably be the right direction this silly guy basically, spaceship crashed due to crew shenanigans, he's kinda a walking corpse covered in bandages
  14. AltonicKeys
    Ohhh I see, that makes a lot more sense. ig I forgot there's a whole process to make good metal stuff back before mass production of steel and stuff began. So in a kinda 1700-1800s time period, metal would be quite valuable. But of course, we can't interfere with the sacred act of character naming schemes. So good luck with the worldbuilding, I look forward to seeing where this goes!
  15. AltonicKeys
    I see I see, everyone knows what they're doing, but they're still spreading disease and cures so they still hold that power. Love that Ig you could do the thing of Shardic Intent, like Nergal has no real choice but to spread death because that's his whole deal? Or he's just pure evil like that Or something like, the Hands are just a method of worship, and without worshipers he'll lose power, so he just encourages them to keep doing their thing. OR he's the twist 'good' guy and giving immunity to people to prevent some greater threat or something. And then the player defeats them but unleashes that greater threat and have to fight that too. But that's a little lame because that's kinda just The Final Empire. Also love the mc progress, it's giving Captain Curly from Mouthwashing lol

    A little late, but I would like to add, are you sure about having the pinnacle of magical equipment being metal? One of the most manipulable, and sometimes plentiful resources? I realize that gemstones would be a cliche, but I feel like metals (especially iron or copper) would be too common of materials to be the most powerful Focus options. Unless this takes place on a planet with extremely different geology and iron is somehow rarer and less accessable than most other materials. I just don't see a metal screw being more magically attuned than a stone. Metal has often been regarded as a human material and kind of an opposite to nature, which is also what the God is connected to? But twigs being stronger than screws is also wrong. So I don't really have a solution other than the classic "shiny gems oooo."

    WE LOVE STANCE FIGHTERS!!! What on earth is a consistent fighting style!?!! Gameplay wise, I love the concept of button combos, but that would get confusing fast. Maybe you only have access to one stance's moves, then you have to manually switch to the other to use those moves? I think the concept of chaining moves together would be cool. Like, you gain momentum or attack speed as you keep using light moves, then cash it in by switching stances and gaining a damage bonus? Or you build up defence while using heavy, then switch and gain a burst of speed? so... The Hands of the Plague go around, infecting people via unknown means, and then discreetly cure that same infection, and then say it was a divine act, so they can recruit more people to spread more disease? Is that right? Also, inserting myself in here, and based on my very surface level research, I personally would go with Nergal, as death and plague is his whole deal. Xolotl is mainly fire and lightning, and is kinda split on too many things. He also seems to be more of a guide for the dead, than the god of perpetuating death. So Nergal would be like. The active plague guy? idk

    Szeth-son-son-Vallano, Truthless of Shinovar, wore wares with worldly warts where war would whir on the day he was to kill a king. Wore.

    cough cough I wish for world peas. Snow peas to be exact. Blanched, buttered, fried, and salted, in that order.

    (its still not in a spoiler box) (You didn't wish so I will) I wish to be able to make things blow up with my mind
  21. AltonicKeys
    hehehe yeah just thought i'd entertain the thought. I'm bored rn But yes, I'm not too sure about any new heralds. Second half is supposedly gonna be during the same general era (Unless the flashback characters aren't the main characters and everyone's dead), so the current heralds probably won't break on screen. I guess if Shallan's mom dies, then she would be the reasonable candidate, but I don't think that really lines up with her character. Kaladin was all about serving the people at his own expense, but Shallan still has a bunch of issues, and I don't think she'd be willing to leave Adolin behind. I dunno. Second arc is too far away for me to guess anything.

    ...His current predicament? Being super dead? I don't think he's coming back, TOdium was all "Yeah he's gone forever." And if he did come back, that would just be lazy writing, reverting any "permanent" consequences. If you mean the evil shadow Dalinar that Odium pulled out of the SR, I don't think he's going to turn good. He's the manifestation of Dalinar's worst flaws, and is also controlled by the god of hate. And I really doubt Sanderson will go with the "Dead character comes back by introducing an alternate universe/clone/past self, who then goes through a change of heart and just completely replaces the dead character." That would also be kinda lazy.

    Hey check out this ghost that I trapped in a jar. I think it's the possession kind? *crash* ohhhh Well it can only hit 87 keys before you regain control. You can only say 4 words before blowing up though. If we ignore everything you've said so far, then yes, you'd be right.
  24. AltonicKeys
    We've spent too much time figuring out what would sound coolest that we've neglected the more plausible side of whatever sounds stupidest..... Honestly if I was in Sanderson's position I would pick the dumbest one and then gaslight everyone into thinking it sounds cool by making up more linguistic conventions for another fantasy language

    Granted. This is achieved by removing public access to the Shard. If anyone wants to visit the webpage, they must travel to an office building in Ethiopia. On the 5th floor of this building, only accessible via a 5ft wide spiral staircase, sits a singular computer. This device holds the entirety of the Shard, and you are allowed to use it in 10 minute sessions. Upon visiting Ethiopia, the first use is free, but each subsequent session costs $20, plus $5 for each additional use. After 10 uses, you are flown out of the country. Not to your original hometown, but to a Swedish countryside where no one speaks your language. You must learn their language, befriend a retired pilot, and embark on a journey back home. You will get lost. You may not get home on that same plane. The pilot may even die tragically, making you wonder if this trip was worth it. But in order to use the Shard again, you must make this pilgrimage each time. I wish for some ice cream :^)
