    My gosh a reverse defiant strategy. This is interesting. 

    Yep! We can find a time later. As long as it’s doubles I’m down. 

    I don't think there is a random doubles format...

    EDIT: Nvm, there is

    Spoiler

    Name: Shaeo Alanair (Changed from his Rosharan name, Chanis Brighthought (his last name was originally Alikar but it changed when he bonded a spren (similar to the idea of Stormblessed being Kaladin's last name)))

    Age: 19

    Pronouns: He/Him

    Which planet does their investiture come from?

    Roshar, Elantris

    What is their power/what are they?

    He is an elantrian and 3rd ideal Elsecaller.

    How well can they use their magic?

    He is completely self-taught in Aonic, knowing only the base Aons and a couple more complicated ones such as disguises that he memorized from books he received at the age of 11. He is almost incapable of Transformation, but can use Transportation well enough to transition between the realms. It tends to take a few seconds, but using this he can achieve FTL travel (this is possible per WOB)

    What are you going to do to keep your character from being overpowered?

    As previously stated, he is untrained. His teleportation is not accurate (also lining up with WOBs). His AonDor actually won’t really be used in the HG, maybe a little to provide a light in a cave or Daa to use fire against opponents in a trap, it’s primarily there to help provide motivation for him to join the HG and I thought it would be cool to have someone be an Elantrian. He’s too slow at drawing to actually use Aons in combat (in addition to the fact that he doesn’t know many). He’s also a scholar and strategist, he wouldn’t want to engage in combat very often. Ambushes and manipulating opponents would be his main approach, not actual one on one combat. 

    Character’s motivation for being in the games:

    He wants to learn as much as possible about everything, and he knows that if he wins, he’ll probably get a reward of money, or something else that would allow him to learn about AonDor and Surgebinding. He also wants to be able to see his family again (see backstory)

    Important pieces of their backstory:

    He is originally from Roshar, the nephew of a Highprince, he is 4th Dahn. He’s received tactical training for years, ever since he was three years old. He bonded an Inkspren when he was 12 and accidentally world-hopped to Sel. Later, he was taken by the Shaod at the age of 15, five years after Raoden fixed AonDor. He is largely self-taught in Aonic works (knowing only the basics). He’s very interested in learning more about AonDor and his Surgebinding (he is an Elsecaller after all). 

    Here's my character!

    I'm not sure how well versed in the cosmere the other GMs are, but I am very well versed myself, yes.

    alright then. I already PMed you and all the other GMs with my idea for my character, and I was trying to stay near to the logistics in the books. If you see something wrong with it, I can change it

    yeeeesss thank you

    Don't thank me yet :P I probably wouldn't as a mod, just cause if they do get enough gold then they can completely block out certain other people, like most Mistings and several Feruchemists. Untrained Elantrians and sand masters would also likely have a difficult time killing them. I'd say it depends on how much gold the mods are willing to let them have.

    :P

    Almost certainly, unless you can be very convincing. 

    I mean, with things like shardblades or spores going around, I don't think gold compounders would be quite as powerful they are normally considered. I do not believe that a compounder could heal from a shardblade through the spine, and I don't think they'd survive a plant growing out of their insides, suffocating them. In addition, I doubt there would be a very large amount of accessible gold inside the arena, only at Cornucopia. so, take that into consideration

    Okay, characters should also go in this thread. 

    also, which mod would consider themselves the most expert in the actual mechanics of the cosmere. Would that be you @Experience?

    Ah, I’ll get you a character sheet just a minute!

    1. None, especially because the world gets more developed through your characters.

    2. It might be a liiiiittle less than accurate (sometimes shades punch people, and that’s okay) but for the most part it shouldn’t be inaccurate as much as vague.

    3. Yeah, sorry we’ll edit it into the post in a minute. 

    4. Plan on signups ending May 19th and the game starting the day after, but this could change. 

    5. It depends on the game, but at least plan to be very active the first couple days and after that it can change.

    6. Hmm…the more personality your character has, the better!! More violence and backstory makes it more fun. Other than that, I don’t think so.

    7. Yes and TBD. 

    For an Elantrian, it’ll depend. You can severely limit them through backstory or training (lack thereof) and it would probably be okay, but we’d still have to approve it.

    Yes.

    What’s your idea?

    Aww, why not?

    Me, @Ancient Elantrian, @SmilingPanda19, @Experience, and @Anguished_One

    aight. This might be the one time I'm able to join, and I already have a very basic character idea. I'll PM one of ya'll later

    This is going to be epic! I have a few questions though  

    Would an Elantrian be too powerful?

     As an alternative, would a sand master have any opportunity to use their powers?

     Are secret projects allowed?

    Imo elantrians are way more powerful than third ideal KR. GMs might disagree though.

    so Elan and Eddie are mods, are there any more?

  15. Star Wars (because I don't think there's any active threads on it)

    I have seen movies 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and half of Solo. I've watched the first few episodes of S1 of mandolorian and clone wars. I don't have Disney+ so it's hard to watch some stuff. In general, I liked the originals the best. I want to watch the rest of the prequels, and I despise the sequels. I just think that they decided that Rey should be able to use whatever ability she wanted without having to work for them. I'm ok with characters being powerful, what I don't like is random villains showing up and/or villains who have been set up on a pedestal being easily defeated, and if the characters are going to be powerful, they should have to work and struggle for it.

    Happy May the Fourth!

    I got a 4 on that. I crammed the two days before the test, you should be fine (as long as you can write a good FRQ and at least kinda know the stuff)

    That's weird.

    I think enrollment was down so they stopped offering it
