  1. Hehe. @KaladinsSenseOfHumorSpren. I am a crewleader.
  2. 2245. Start a romantic relationship with someone. Go out with them for a while (say 6 months). Tell them they make you feel the most genuine happiness ever. Then, dump them. Trust me, this works. I've been avoiding her for over a year now...
  3. 2240. Recite as many 'cool' quotes from LOTR and Star Wars as you can without shutting up.
  4. Soulcaster + rubies I know, boring
  5. Hmm... perhaps we should allow a seed to come, and then we can rip it apart to get the investiture of Virtuosity so that Scadrial's labs can start manufacturing anti-investiture
  6. I, Honour, and Gadris, the Vessel of Autonomy, drifted in the cold void of space, close to a small yellow star. In the distance, power still pulsed through the Spiritual Realm, from Virtuosity's abominable actions. My power writhed, yearning to fight against him, but I controlled myself. This is more important, I told my power. There is more trouble to be faced than just Virtuosity, and the work we are about to do will be the first step toward defending the Cosmere. COME, I transmitted to Gadris. LET US BEGIN, AND BUILD OURSELVES A PLANET. YES, he replied. LET US BEGIN. A surge of power built up in both me and in Gadris, and burst forth into the space in front of us. Pure investiture coalesced into a solid sphere of gleaming metal that swirled blue and crimson. That done, I formed for myself a body, not really knowing why, just that it felt right. Beside me, Gadris did the same. I stretched out my hand towards the sphere, and a second blast of power encompassed the sphere in soil and hard, unyielding rock. My power appreciated that. Gadris then touched the partially formed planet, bringing forth strong and untameable rivers of fire that flowed through the rocky crust. I stretched out my hand a second time and filled the open basins of the earth with water, the steady flowing rivers likewise. Gadris touched our creation again, and created for it an atmosphere - air filling the space close to the earth's surface and making a breathable environment. Winds, also were formed, blowing across the face of the planet, beholden to no one and nothing. IT IS GOOD, I declared to Gadris. ALL IT LACKS IS LIFE. His avatar nodded. THEN LET US CREATE LIFE. With a wave of my hand, plants sprang up across the face of the planet. Trees, modelled after the ones on Yolen, formed broad forests as if they had been there for centuries. Birds filled the air at Gadris's command, swooping and soaring in the wind. Animals, and all manner of creatures occupied the forests. Fish, and all sea creatures followed after. AND NOW, Gadris said, as we surveyed the planet and all its occupants, NOW WE MUST MAKE MAN. YES. IT IS TIME. As in the first instance, a surge of power built up and then was released, but this time, instead of forming separate parts of a whole, the two powers combined and formed a thick mist that shrouded a clifftop by the sea. For a few tense moments, neither I, nor Gadris spoke. Then the mist collapsed in on itself, and vanished. In its place, stood a small crowd of humans, of differing heights, builds and colouring. I, Honour, and Gadris, Vessel of Autonomy, watched our creation for a time, as the humans on the clifftop slowly began to wake and view the world in which they found themselves. Then, deeming that the time was right, we formed for ourselves bodies and stepped out in the midst of our people; I in my robes of Justice and Equity, and Gadris in a simple cloak and tunic, his auburn hair and beard immaculately groomed. The humans fell to their knees as soon as they saw us, fearful of the incredible power that we both radiated. RISE, Gadris commanded them, and they did, on shaky legs and with frightened expressions. YOU ARE OUR CREATION, Gadris told them, AND WE ARE YOUR GODS. @SpartanBrigade
  7. A force to be reckoned with and feared. We will defeat all our enemies with our nerdiness and Arcanist superpowers of random fact remembering Ooh - I just realised: This is my 100th post!!!!!!
  8. I have decided, with much deliberation, that since I am not yet ready to swear the oath, I will postpone it. Instead, I will swear a different set of Words that will become my Third Oath. I will do away with all the distractions which prevent me from reaching my potential. (Since at the moment my potential equates to good grades, that means ridding myself of distractions during study. ...There's also a bit more to it than that, but I think that will suffice).
