I keep waiting for Sazed to dump the excess Ruin into Kelsier, thus balancing Harmony and giving Kelsier his long desire to be a god.

That sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. I think he should give it to marsh so that he can more fully embody death and no longer need atium.

Virtuosity detonated a star. Irritating, really. They could’ve all worked their own wonders, and never had to see each other again. Now they were looking for the Dawnshards. ‘Seek.’ Someone should kill them. Only reasonable thing, when faced with a god that cared so little for peace.

Alas, it could not be him. Mascarose had decided to be benevolent, to the small slice of creation allotted to him.

Adonalsium had left behind gods, on Roshar. Little ones, whose purposes fit quite well with what they now faced. Eager, they were, to protect the system Adonalsium left to them. With prepared Mantles of his Investiture, they could be of some use, at least until their reserves ran out.

Physical force was a simple enough thing to stop. He exerted his own, reduced energy, nullified what was there. Adonalsium’s Wind found themselves especially suited to this.

Investiture was more troublesome to handle. It wished to imbed itself into the system. Mascarose adamantly refused to let it. Holding it, guiding it away and towards a different target.

He had no name for the third planet, yet its core held the property to draw in Investiture. He saw this, and encouraged it. Foreign Investiture found itself trapped within the orbit of this planet, not to do its damage elsewhere. Small parasites existed in the roiling storm, whose purpose it was to embed themselves into the soul of another. Without a planet as host, they withered and died.

Adonalsium’s Night found purpose in this. A Shard’s mind would feel the trapping of even one of its many limbs. Unless she hid such attention. ‘To shroud,’ had been Adonalsium’s purpose for her. She had not yet seen opportunity to fulfill that purpose, until know.

A well of power, contained, controlled, hidden from sight. Dominion knew intrinsically what to do next. This Investiture could not be allowed to remain within the influence of the Shard Virtuosity. Or, even, the diluted compaction of lost life it carried. A product of ‘Virtuosity’.

Slowly, the power fell towards the planet, and Dominion linked itself to it, steadily changed its tone until much was red and some a sharpened spear.

A couple of days after Ence’s conversation with mercy as he was sailing, he saw a wall of flame and plasma that post strongly to his micro kinetic senses racing towards him as it drew near he saw get sucked away After his fear subsided. He wondered what it was, and what had happened to it. He pondered on this further as he kept sailing.

Sorry for not posting sooner. I was on vacation and have been busy since I got back. The couple times I did have time to get on I had trouble writing anything. I’ll try to post more often, but I probably won’t be very active.

Well, I’m gonna be stuck in Roshars cognitive realm for at least a week and I was under the assumption that Dominion would probably shield his cognitive realm because of the spren there and if I’m wrong then I’m probably dead anyways unless mercy decides to protect me, but I find that unlikely because conversations don’t tend to last more than a day

Searching for Yolen?

...

I am sorry, but Yolen was destroyed in the act of murder. It was destroyed.

Cultivation hesitated a moment before adding,

I saved as much as I could, but it can no longer be called Yolen anymore. The planet salvaged from Yolen's dying corpse is named Yrots and it is far off in another system.

If you wish to see your home planet again, I can show you the way. You can always call out your name if you wish the directions.

@.....

“Thank you,” Encephelous thought back “I will do that in the future.” To himself he wondered if any of the scholars he once knew were still alive  he guessed not though.

"That is to be expected. What is also expected, however, is that you should swear to secrecy upon what I may next say to you." 

As Anibelmeth interacted with Encephelous, she realised that she had been too focused on the other Shards, but there were some mortals who could become major players as well. She would have to watch for that. 

In the back of her mind, she felt another Shard trying to contact her. Was it... Whimsy? She turned her attention back to the greater cosmere and- 

WHAT? 

Shock, then rage, rippled through Mercy. Virtuosity's star was going to go supernova? That... that would cause mass destruction across the cosmere, most certainly kill her own people if nothing was done about it. Why was it doing this? There was no art in this, only devastation. That monster. And no matter what outcome came of this, her plans would be thrown into disarray. 

As she calmed, Anibelmeth looked to see why Whimsy had reached out to her, and saw. The other Shards were aligning against Virtuosity. Internally, she was chastened. She was supposed to be good to her people, protect and guide them, but she had been weak, distracted by the hurts Virtuosity had caused and her own failings, not realising the outcome of its plans. That would not happen again. 

And so, Anibelmeth searched the threads of the future, looking for what she might do. Two obvious options presented themselves to her. One, she could join with the others. They wanted to reason with Virtuosity, but that would never work. You could not reason with one who was willing to cause so much destruction at great personal expense, against, even, the Intent of the Shard. She would have to convince them to strike at Virtuosity, now, before the star exploded. She looked, and she saw many futures where this succeeded, although there was still a chance of failure. Assuming a success, this would effectively eliminate one of the more threatening Shards and put her closer to Valor. She rebelled at the thought of working with Whimsy, but the power urged her to see he was trying, and, remembering the last time, she decided to heed its advice. She suspected that Honor might join them as well, and Autonomy was sure to follow whatever Honor did. 

The other possibility was to blanket her system, shield it from the supernova. This had much less of a risk to her people, but she may alienate herself from the other Shards. Virtuosity would be greatly weakened by its actions and almost certainly finished off by one of the other Shards, if not herself. 

As she weighed both options, Anibelmeth eventually came to a conclusion. She had to do that which was best for the people. All the people, not just her own. And so, leaving an aspect of herself to speak with Encephelous, she appeared before Whimsy and Invention.

"I will join you. But the plan needs to change." 

“Yes, I will swear to secrecy however would you also mind telling me the current state of the Cosmere as I seem to be mostly ignorant and don’t like surprises”

@ChickenBonanza
Name: Mascarose Sant Sommer (Dominion)
Planet of Origin: Yolen
Pronouns: He/Him
Species: Human
Age: Late 20s
Personality: Callous and pragmatic, one whose goals and thoughts ofttimes align solely with his own interests. He is by no means incapable of caring for others, but keeps himself always distant, as if embittered by events of long ago. Those few who happen to enter his confidence are those who continue to benefit from that which benefits him.
An exiled princeling from what would later become a maritime republic. One who enjoyed a youth of wealth and grandeur.

@Ashkaloda
Name: Anibelmeth (Mercy)
Pronouns: she/her
Planet of Origin: First of the Sun
Species: Human
Age: 36
Personality: Serious and commanding, but friendly. Always looks at the bigger picture.

Personality:  depends on the weather but typically very happy and optimistic

@.....
Name: Encephelous often known as Ence
Planet of Origin: Yolen
Pronouns: He/Him
Species: human
Age: 34
Where you were at the time Shattering: in the cognitive realm looking for other worlds, the Rosharan Subastral. 
Personality: serious highly intelligent wants power and knowledge. He plans on starting on institution for gathering knowledge from around the Cosmere.
Powers(because people who aren’t shards probably have them): microkinesis. Manipulating electrons and molecular  bonds. although, I was also thinking that similarly to how Hoid’s Yolish  lightweaving isn’t working the way it’s supposed to in The Way of Kings microkinesis wouldn’t be working at 100% capacity either and might have extra limitations

@Dragonheir
Name: Layke Nesson (certainly did not garble necessity-son to get that last name) (Invention)
Pronouns: he/him, though as a Shard they’ll probably change to neutral 
Planet of Origin: Yolen 
Species: human 
Age: 32 
Personality: smart and iterating ideas, eccentric and dependent on routine, friendly and willing to do what’s right, ambitious and jealous of those who get power with no effort. 

Notes: weak microkinetic, using it mainly for his chemistry/apothecary/alchemy work rather than in combat. Knowledgeable about atoms and forces, since he can see them. Physically rather wiry, but with prep time can ruin your day using conventionally prepared explosives. Without preparation, though, he freezes in situations he hasn’t thought about. 

@Argenti
Name: Alph (Virtuosity)
Pronouns: He/Him
Planet of Origin: Yolen
Species: Sho Del
Age: 27 (How long do Sho del live?"
Personality: Depending on who you ask, Alph is.... disturbed. To him, there is beauty in death, in destruction, and he revels in it. As any true artist would tell you, the act of destruction is just as important as the moment of creation. Before the shattering, he was an artist and philosopher, creating both art and essays on the root of beauty. He's dramatic, he's flamboyant, he's over the top. 

@Wyver the Great, played by @Argenti
Name: Andarneoas, or Andarna for short. (Endowment)

Planet of Origin: Yolen
Species: Dragon

Pronouns: He/him 
Planet of Origin: roshar Species: singer
Age: A lot (17 durring the shattering)

@SpiritOfWrath
Name: Rella (Ambition)
Pronouns: She/Her
Planet of Origin: Yolen
Species: Sho Del
Age: 43
Personality: Rella is very very ambitious. Like… kill your superior if you think it’ll get you a promotion ambition. But she isn’t stupid. She’s cunning, and knows when to engage, and when to disengage. She likes to handpick individuals she thinks are suitably ambitious, and just slightly invest them, just slightly help them. So, when the time comes, she can call on them, and they cannot resist.

@al_lan_mandragoran
My character is called Tarsh-Eamon (Honour)
He's a dragon from Yolen, and is one of the original 16. 
Pronouns of he/him
Eamon is a dragon, and he is several centuries old. He has seen much fighting in his long life, and has come to hate conflict. However, he still recognizes that sometimes you must fight for what is right. A quirk of Eamon is that he likes to pretend he is not a dragon, going around in human form and pretending to be a mere scholar. 

@Through The Living Glass
Name: Alva (Devotion)
Pronouns: She/Her
Planet of Origin: Yolen
Species: Human
Age: 30
Personality: Very loving, kind person. She just wants to help everybody who needs it, and she never abandons them. She's not stupid though, and she doesn't let people use her. She won't tolerate threats of any kind towards herself or others.

@AltonicKeys, played by @ChickenBonanza
Name: Grace Isilyar (Odium)
Pronouns: She/Her
Planet of Origin: Yolen
Species: Yolish human
Age: Old. Like, 70s or more.
Personality: Think old grandma, but the strict and somewhat malevolent kind. Manipulative, possibly. Conniving, even. Like if your grandma went to war, and came back a general.

Rella dove head-first into the pool that was Ambition. As soon as she made contact, her skin began to glow. In an instant, both her and the pool disappeared. Wiping away his tears, Ikaretekeketeraki'nantaríãī stepped into his own pool, Ascending to Valor. Sudowoodoo did a backflip before landing in his, becoming Whimsy. Alph, with a smile on his face, did the same, except he created a dazzling show with his four arms mid-air. His landing produced an explosion of colour before Ascending.

The rest weren't as eager. Gadris, knowing that this had to be done, touched the pool with the tip of his finger. Mascarose stepped forward, his eyes never leaving Grace until the moment he Ascended. Anibelmeth took a deep breath and stepped forward. Turnip suppressed inferior emotions like fear and touched the pool of Reason with the tip of his finger. Andarneoas, with a stern expression, did the same, taking Endowment. Alva simply took a step and became Devotion. Tarsh-Eamon and Eloh Pool, both in human form, dove into Honour and Cultivation respectively.

Only Iairandeshi, Layke, Shalta and Grace remained. The ground beneath them began to tremble as cracks appeared, separating the four of them. Shalta contemplated what they'd done in killing Adonalsium. 

"I have everything figured out," Layke whispered to himself, before taking Invention. 

"Go on, you two," Grace urged after Layke had left. Iairandeshi hummed to Anxiety, before attuning Resolve. She nodded to Shalta, then took Ruin. Shalta sighed before taking Preservation. 

Grace, the only one remaining, had already come up with a plan. She leaped forward, Ascending to Odium above a crumbling world.

All 16 of them must flee.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Grace is going to be even worse than Rayse, I think. 

Shards, you must either:

• Stay behind as Yolen shatters
• Settle a world
• Stay somewhere in interstellar or interplanetary space
• Explore beyond the current star systems

Remember, the Shard's Intent hasn't had too much of an effect yet. However, the power will likely interact with the Vessel.

@....., you can do whatever you like in Shadesmar. This is going to be the first day or so post-shattering, until further notice.

Remember, non-RP text in quote boxes or spoiler tags.

Begin!

A day after that adonalsium‘s death  Encephelous was still shocked. He decided that he must travel back to Yolan to find out what had really happened. He would leave immediately. he was determined to find out exactly what had happened and what he needed to plan for. his studies would have to wait

On 6/27/2025 at 9:31 AM, SpiritOfWrath said:

And behold, Ambition foresaw that those who dared approach her would wither and die in the light of the Sun.

Behold, Ambition stretched forth her hand, and uttered words of power, words of creation that were pleasing to her purpose.

Ambition carved from the earth of this Yolen’s caverns, lined with Aluminum.

And above these caverns she placed terrible storms from the loosened earth, covering the land indiscriminately.

Deep within the Earth, Ambition placed rivers of power, liquid Investiture which she allowed to pool at the deepest point. And with this power, she formed a Gateway, access to another realm. The realm of the Mind.

Within her paradise, she created plants as it pleases her - choosing those plants which were especially Ambitious. By the light of her power, the plants flourished and grew, becoming unstable.

And behold, she saw fit that these plants would be unstable, so that she may force them to feed upon each other in order to grow.

Next, she graced the land next with animals. Modeled after the perfect form of the Fainlife, she foresaw that these animals would not survive without competition, must fight over control of her rivers of power.

And behold, she foresaw that these rivers weakened her. So she placed herself within their depths, within the lake that they formed. So that at any moment, she might reclaim their power.

Her land ready, she found a worthy supplicant, one who might appreciate her power.

@.....

Ence feels a communication.

Seek me out, through the cognitive realm. Find my Gateway, and I will grant you Power.

Shortly after leaving for Yolen, he felt a booming voice in his mind one that carried unimaginable power telling him to come seek it and receive power. He marveled, realizing that adonalsium had died, but his power had been taking up by others who were less perfect. He realized the urgency of his need to get back to Yolen, he had to see what happened needed to know what to do to prepare for the future. He realized he might need to find a way to kill these gods much like they had killed their predecessor for now, though he sent a message with his mind to the one who had contacted him

“I need no power and my plans are my own. I will not do this.”

He would not let anyone control him

Her focus now turned outwards, Anibelmeth noticed something she had not previously. Grace was meddling with the others. However, it seemed to be benevolent, although Anibelmeth could not be certain. She saw Whimsy leave Roshar and was relieved. That could give her the opening she had been looking for. She simply had to allow most of the Shards to settle first, so she would not be targeted. But... what was Virtuosity doing? Anibelmeth watched as Virtuosity mangled and altered its star and grew enraged. Could it not see how it was harming its system? Did it not care? No, the other Shards were all selfish, thinking only of themselves and not the greater cosmere. While she fumed, the power urged her to go to Virtuosity's system and aid it, stopping the Shard. So strong was this desire that she almost cast her plans aside and followed it, but another voice spoke to her. It was like a different, smaller piece of the power that made up the Shard of Mercy. This smaller portion was complacent. It called for Anibelmeth to leave and let be. Immediately realising the brashness and foolishness of her actions, Anibelmeth reeled back in the power. 

And she was scared. Petrified, even. The power, seeing what she also saw, had fueled her emotions to the extent where she had nearly ruined everything. She had known the potential for it to disagree with her and was able to control it, but had never considered the danger that might come from it agreeing. And she herself had been guiding the power to side with her so as to be able to better steer its intentions, but now she saw that was as good as allowing it to control her. She would no longer be Anibelmeth but truly and fully the Goddess of Mercy. And that would come with only one view, one perspective on the world. Anibelmeth had said many times that no one is perfect, and she was not an exception. She needed her perspectives challenged, for she was an imperfect god and could be wrong as easily as any other being. And so she was glad for the divide in the Shard, for though the other part was certainly wrong in its views, it had stopped her from being blinded. 

Anibelmeth reflected on what she just thought. She was an imperfect god. This was what she was working to destroy, for no imperfect being deserved to be in charge of the lives of people. For the first time, she regretted killing Adonalsium. While no gods would be ideal, they were a perfectly balanced god, much better than what was now come. And she saw now that she was so likely to fail in her endeavor. Adonalsium was a perfectly balanced god... they knew ultimate good. It brought her hope to know that, because of Adonalsium's existence, the cosmere must end up at a complete state of rightness. They had allowed themself to be shattered... perhaps it was the plan, all along, for her to complete this action after their passing. Anibelmeth laughed to herself at the ludicrous thought, partly because it warmed her, but partly to cover her fear and insecurity. Fear of death, of failure, of her own ideals being wrong. 

And for the first time since forming the ideals in her head, Anibelmeth allowed herself to question them. Was she wrong? Anibelmeth thought not, but of course she was sure of her own opinion. She needed an outside perspective, one that would challenge her. It could not be a Shard, nor any of the people of her system. And so, stretching out her consciousness, she found one that might suit her needs. 

@.....

Anibelmeth formed a body, that of herself pre-shardhood, behind Encephelous in the Cognitive Realm. Obscuring the area from the sight of the other Shards, she approached him. 

"Can we talk?" 

 

 

Not long after his interaction with one of the new gods a being of immense power came to him once again, but this time manifesting a physical body he saw the body was a woman. she spoke asking him to talk. in response, he said “I am listening, but do know I will not worship you or be controlled by you”

An exiled princeling from what would later become a maritime republic. One who enjoyed a youth of wealth and grandeur. Having been ousted before entering fully his adulthood, Mascarose came to desire a return to his original lifestyle and the powers of rulership, something he has come to see as his birthright.

Planet of Origin: Yolen
Pronouns: He/Him
Species: human
Age: 34
Where you were at the time Shattering (are you one of the seventeen or were somewhere else?): in the cognitive realm looking for other worlds, the Rosharan Subastral. 
Personality: serious highly intelligent wants power and knowledge. He plans on starting on institution for gathering knowledge from around the Cosmere.
Powers(because people who aren’t shards probably have them): microkinesis. Manipulating electrons and molecular  bonds. although, I was also thinking that similarly to how Hoid’s Yolish  lightweaving isn’t working the way it’s supposed to in The Way of Kings microkinesis wouldn’t be working at 100% capacity either and might have extra limitations

@Dragonheir
Name: Layke Nesson (certainly did not garble necessity-son to get that last name) 
Pronouns: he/him, though as a Shard they’ll probably change to neutral 
Planet of Origin: Yolen 
Species: human 
Age: 32 
Where you were at the time Shattering (are you one of the sixteen or were somewhere else?): one of the sixteen, helped put together the plan and any contingencies 
Personality: smart and iterating ideas, eccentric and dependent on routine, friendly and willing to do what’s right, ambitious and jealous of those who get power with no effort. 

Notes: weak microkinetic, using it mainly for his chemistry/apothecary/alchemy work rather than in combat. Knowledgeable about atoms and forces, since he can see them. Physically rather wiry, but with prep time can ruin your day using conventionally prepared explosives. Without preparation, though, he freezes in situations he hasn’t thought about.

Personality: Depending on who you ask, Alph is.... disturbed. To him, there is beauty in death, in destruction, and he revels in it. As any true artist would tell you, the act of destruction is just as important as the moment of creation. Before the shattering, he was an artist and philosopher, creating both art and essays on the root of beauty. He's dramatic, he's flamboyant, he's over the top.

Where were you at the time Shattering (are you one of the sixteen or were somewhere else?): One of the 16, vessel of Ambition. Knew they were planing to kill Ado - wanted a cut of the spoils.
Personality: Rella is very very ambitious. Like… kill your superior if you think it’ll get you a promotion ambition. But she isn’t stupid. She’s cunning, and knows when to engage, and when to disengage. She likes to handpick individuals she thinks are suitably ambitious, and just slightly invest them, just slightly help them. So, when the time comes, she can call on them, and they cannot resist.

@al_lan_mandragoran
My character is called Tarsh-Eamon
He's a dragon from Yolen, and is one of the original 16. 
Pronouns of he/him
Eamon is a dragon, and he is several centuries old. He has seen much fighting in his long life, and has come to hate conflict. However, he still recognizes that sometimes you must fight for what is right. A quirk of Eamon is that he likes to pretend he is not a dragon, going around in human form and pretending to be a mere scholar.

Age: Old. Like, 70s or more.
Where you were at the time Shattering (are you one of the sixteen or were somewhere else?): Shatterer
Personality: Think old grandma, but the strict and somewhat malevolent kind. Manipulative, possibly. Conniving, even. Like if your grandma went to war, and came back a general.

 

For @.....:

As you travel through the land of beads, you feel the ground begin to tremble. You feel Connections sever and new ones form. The ocean beneath you begins to seethe, a wave rising from the surface. You get hit, but it passes through you, as if it were nothing. The plants around you, growing on the islands that are lakes on the other side, begin to wilt, before re-growing anew. 

God was dying. 

For everyone else:

God was dead. Now, the only his power remains. 16 pieces of Adonalsium, 16 Shards. 

16 pools of power surround you in the crumbling landscape. You must pick one and flee.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to the Full Cosmere Restarted RP, Phase 1!

Here are the arrangements of the Shardic pools:

Because of timezones, you can only do a little bit at a time, otherwise the people who are awake will have an advantage. For ....., this is just your reaction to the death of Adonalsium. Phase 1 will end once all the Shatterers have a Shard. Dialogue is encouraged.

All non-RP text must be in quote boxes. Begin!

Encephelous sat in a boat, frantically scribbling in a notebook while muttering about surges. he suddenly stopped looking up towards the horizon he felt connections break, reform and change. he felt his access to microkinesis decreasing until he could barely affect the world with it. a ripple beads shot across the ocean passing through him. He shuddered to think of what world ending event could have caused such great impact across the whole Cosmere, as the disturbance died down, he pulled out a Tamu Kek deciding to ask a dragon what happened.

Accepted. All good.

I was thinking of making it so that the Shattering destroyed Yolen in the process, flinging the Dawnshards away. It only gave the 16 enough time to take a Shard and run.

Ok, that makes sense.

I assume the dragons found a way to relocate then?

also, I won’t be able to be on the shard at all for the next week

On 5/29/2025 at 12:10 AM, KaladinsSenseOfHumorSpren said:

Initially, it'll be the post-shattering chaos, and after that we could have century-long turns, until technology gets advanced enough across many planets or the Shards start a large-scale war. In both cases, the turns will slow down to decades or years.

Ok, thanks! that clears it up a lot.

Right now he’s in Roshar’s cognitive realm

Alright. I haven't actually read DSP, so I'm no expert on this. 

@....., what is your character's speciality?

Manipulating electrons and molecular  bonds. although, I was also thinking that similarly to how Hoid’s Yolish  lightweaving isn’t working the way it’s supposed to in The Way of Kings microkinesis wouldn’t be working at 100% capacity either and might have extra limitations

23 hours ago, KaladinsSenseOfHumorSpren said:

I don't want to give anyone a Dawnshard just yet... I was intending on them being scattered throughout the Cosmere after Adonalsium was Shattered.

I will point out that Hoid was there at the shattering which makes it 17 people there and they used the dawnshards to shatter Adonalsium so if you want the Dawnshards to be scattered across the Cosmere, you’ll probably need to explain that.
Oh, and you also likely need to consider that Hoid kept his Dawnshard after The shattering 

also, sorry for responding so late, I was really busy

The Full Cosmere Restarted RP has full Cosmere spoilers, including WaT. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Let's rewind everything all the way back to the Shattering. Except this time, nothing Invested exists apart from the newly created Shards. The only exceptions are spren, highstorms, Rosharan fauna that bond spren, Shades, Aviar, and the other fauna on First of the Sun.  

You get to take the place of one of the 16 who have just killed Adonalsium (again). Or you can be someone else. 

Star Systems:

• The Rosharan System - Ashyn, Roshar and Braize.
• Scadrian System - Scadrial itself does not exist. The gas giant Aagal Nod appears to have 6 major moons, all of which can become their own Shardworlds. Aagal Uch has four moon that you can settle. To make things easier, I'm calling the star Scadaria, and the two dwarf planets Scadaria D and Scadaria E. 
• The Selish System. Donne, Sel, its moon Oem, the four moons of Ky, and the four of Ralen.
• The Threnodite System. Monody, Elegy, its moon Coronach, Threnody and Purity.
• The Drominad System. First of the Sun, Second of the Sun, Third of the Sun, Fourth of the Sun, 3 moons of Fifth of the Sun, 4 moons of Sixth of the Sun, and 4 moons of Seventh of the Sun.

I'm not going to touch the Taldain, Nalthian, Lumaran, or UTolian systems for now. 

In green are confirmed habitable planets. Blue are planets in the habitable zone but may or may not be habitable. Red are terrestrial planets outside the habitable zone. All gas giant moons are too cold and require Shardic intervention to make habitable. It is unknown whether Donne, Monody and Elegy are habitable. 

For all the planets we haven't seen on page - we can make it up! It's worldbuilding time! I might create another thread for that. 

Character sheet

Name:

Planet of Origin:

Species:

Age:

Where you were at the time Shattering (are you one of the sixteen or were somewhere else?):

Personality:

Species-wise, I'm accepting Humans, Sho Del, Singers and Dragons. We don't know much about Sho Del and Dragons, but some Spec. Bio. can fix that. I'll accept Yolen as Planet of Origin, and is the only accepted planet for Sho Del and Dragons, but you cannot be at Yolen when the Shattering happened. We know too little about the planet and I'd rather not worldbuild this one. Humans may come from Yolen, Ashyn or First of the Sun. Singers may only be from Roshar.

The RP starts once we have the 16 Shards. Signups will still be open for more characters.

 

Name: Encephelous often known as Ence
Planet of Origin: Yolen

Species: human

Age: 34

Where you were at the time Shattering (are you one of the seventeen or were somewhere else?): in the cognitive realm looking for other worlds.

Personality: serious highly intelligent wants power and knowledge. He plans on starting on institution for gathering knowledge from around the Cosmere.

Powers(because people who aren’t shards probably have them): microkinesis

also, if we’re trying to create a version of the Cosmere, are we just doing right around the time of the shattering or are we going to jump into the future in sections? Or something along those lines? Just wondering how that’s gonna work

Your task is simple: pick three invested arts (List: Surges, metallic arts, awakening, aether bonds, ore basically anything else u can think of. One metal for Allomancy or feruchemy and one surge if surgebinding, though you can double up on the same art) for one person to have. If we get enough interesting combinations, I wanna see if we can get this moved to forum games and have a gladiator fight. 

mine:

  Reveal hidden contents

Slider, Subsumer, bonded to a midnight Aether.

My reasoning:

  Reveal hidden contents

You can store hydration in a hydration mind, then compound it to get a ridiculus amount of water, then give it to the aether for functionally infinite midnight essence.

 

 

1. A-pewter 

2. 2500 breaths

3. soulcasting/ F-nicrosil If you do the 2500 BEU’s worth of Investiture for metalminds then I choose nicrosil otherwise I choose soulcasting

The build here is this: I will be constantly flaring pewter using my metal. However, I will simultaneously be using my breaths to power my pewter essentially supercharging it, this will give me insane amounts of strength, durability, visible healing and insane amounts of speed similar to a steelrunner on lower levels of tapping. I will not use my breaths for anything else. If you give me F-nicrosil I will assume it stores parts of your spirit web and use all 2,500 BEU’s to store the part of my spirit web that grants me allomancy and then I will tap it to supercharge my pewter even more. if I end up using soulcasting instead then I will use the soulcasting to generally interfere with other people and use it how a normal soulcaster would and also make giant hammers.

let's assume that if your form of investure has mana of some type, you have 2500 BEUs

the problem with that is feruchemy it is technically self powered so if you don't give starting stores they will likely lose quickly. but if you give them a full 2,500 BEU’s worth of investiture to power their feruchemy then they become overpowered and win too fast, you don't need compounding if you have 2,500 BEU’s worth of stores, that'll get you through any fight, it's almost the same thing

Feren sighed, leaning against the cell. Colors. It had been two weeks since the guards had caught him, and he still wasn't getting used to his prison cell. The guards didn't like Awakeners apparently. There was a knock on his cell door, and Feran shifted. The door opened revealing two guards in silver uniforms. "The Warden is giving an address, Awakener." one said, clapping a pair of aluminum handcuffs onto him. "All prisoners are called."

“So who are you guys anyway?” Ted asked as they walked to the village 

@Through The Living Glass @TwinStorm @ΨιτιsτηεΒέsτ

As everyone gets off the raft they see a young child of about ten skipping/walking towards them while eating an apple when he gets to the group he says "Hi my names ted!" taking a bite out of his apple he then pulled out another one and asked "Anyone want an apple? Also why'd you guys land here? There's a dock in the village you know"

this is ted he's a ten year old pirate, he is very people friendly and loves apples. He likes to give people apples, after all if you have something good you should share it. He has infinite apples and apple cider because of a boon from the nightwatcher, he is originally from nalthis and has some other intresting stuff. He's very mischievous and is much stronger than he looks. I could say more but thats too much work so thats all for now

this sounds fun, also I cant promise to be active but i'll try 

i'll be a mistborn made into an inquisitor as a guard
