If you do so, I might be able to capture another new member for 17th shard and increase the logged on time of at least one, maybe two others. I certainly wouldn't mind. Though I do have a question. Is your poll asking if you should be shot or if there should be a MLP thread?

Read a bunch of the older Dragonriders of Pern books as well. Its a shame that another important writer of fantasy died.

no, Sazed changed the Koloss so that they became an actual species.

Yes. That is what I said in the OP. Thank You! It makes sense, however I would say that the Parshendi are the product of Odium rather than Parshmen because don't exactly show any sort of hate or major emotion whatsoever (unless you touch their dead but that could be a cultural thing).

Here he is. My character. Name: Avidhu (Formerly Darick) Gender: male Age: 1 year Class/occupation: Director Species: Feline -breed: Russian Blue Description: Vivid Green eyes; Coat is Short, dense, fine, and plush(double coat stands out from body due to density), distinct soft and silky feel; Coloration is dark blue with silver tipped hairs giving a slivery sheen; tail is long and proportional tapering to a tip -Spikes: Bronze spike(Allomantic Bronze), Bronze spike (Allomantic Brass), Bronze spike (Allomantic Zinc), Aluminum spike (Allomantic Duralumin), Brass spike (Feruchemical Duralumin) NOTE: Avidhu doesn't have the normal standard set of spikes. His standard set is 3 Atium alloy spikes (copper, zinc and aluminum) as transfer/sentience spikes, and two emotional fortitude and mental fortitude spikes each for stability (zinc and copper) for a total of 7 spikes. Personality: Reserved, likes routine, polite, quiet, expects politeness from others, and appears absent minded a lot, but is playful with close friends. Behind this exterior, however, he is a schemer and will not hesitate to use any and every person he can to achieve his goals; he just does it nicely. Skills: Good at commanding attention, good at manipulating crowds with Brass and Zinc, excellent speaker, literate, can open doors (literally), great planner Background/history: Both of the Darick’s parents died after he reached maturity from a murder-suicide by his father. Being the youngest of seven brothers, Darick got nothing from his family’s assets. What’s worse, several of his brothers blamed him for their parent’s death, and Darick was forced out of town. It was at this time that Darick also contracted a debilitating and incurable disease which would eventually kill him. Several years later, poor and weak from the disease, Darick met, through accidental circumstance, a man who claimed to have a way to escape Darick’s final demise. Accepting the offer, Darick learned of a forbidden art known as hemalurgy. Through this dark art, Darick transferred his mind in its entirety into the body of a cat. Upon completing the transfer Darick renamed himself Avidhu, joined Satsu and proposed the creation of a Caton of Inquisition. As a cat, Avidhu spends his time organizing efforts to recruit new members for the new Caton, keeping humans of the surrounding area away from snooping around Satsu’s mansion, or luring unfortunates in. In each of these situations, Avidhu uses his Soothing and Rioting powers and ability to store and tap Connection to great extent.

Caton of inquisition It's a simple room, with walls wallpapered in stark white and a floor that's an intricate design of ceramic tiles. It is well lit through small windows near the ceiling. Though the room is rather huge, and clearly meant as a meeting hall. A cat sits erect on a dais. Commanding attention, even at a distance. The cat speaks, its voice sounding almost human. Calmness and relaxation permeates the room. "Welcome to your new home, my brothers and sisters.~nya You have already met Satsu, but don't worry. He's crazy but harmless. You don't have to deal with him much, unless you need to get spiked of course.~nya" The cat jumps smoothly off the dais. Not a single spike is visible, not even an eye spike. "I am Avidhu. I organize things around here, such as the procurement of spike-charge donors. While you are not obligated to participate in my plan for the future of us, you will find it hard to walk around the city.~nya Feel free to wander this building. Any questions?"

Ambrosius It was a store that Ambrosius had past by before when searching for the magic shop. "This is fine." Before today I would have sold this shock-stick, but now I kinda like it. Ambro looks over the nearby shelving taking note of what is there.

Story topic for the Cat RP is posted. It doesn't have anything in it though. I plan to have stuff ready and posted by Monday night. http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/1229-caton-of-inquisition/

Hello Humans and Cats. Welcome to the Caton of Inquisition RP, a story inspired by a combination of Hemalurgy and common domesticated pets, cats. This RP is divided into three sections. The story topic. You are here. The Roster. This is where you will post your character in all of its awesomeness The R&D topic. This is where discussion over the story and powers will take place. As an RP this is can be described as collaborative writing; Its a group effort. To this end there are a few rules that I would like everyone to follow. no god-mode, power-playing, or Invincible heroes follow the RPG ratings set by our masters admins Don't control other characters without permission. Unimportant NPCs are fair game however. Satsuoni and I are in charge. Use your brain. You can contact Satsuoni or me for questions through PM. Since we have near around-the-clock presence, you should get a response soon. The basic premise is the creation of sentient cats through the use of Hemalurgy. It takes place at the time of Alloy of Law. the story starts out at the very beginning of the Caton. You, the player, will be the characters that guide this organization to greatness...or Ruin.

let it be known that I will not have access to a computer starting Friday. I will have access to a computer on Monday at the earliest. You won't find me, so don't look.

What do you call a human from each planet ( Scadrial, Roshar, Nalthis and Sel)? i.e. Scadrialese? Does the intent/personality of the Shard affect the personalities of the humans they create? i.e. Are Scadrialese more inclined to conserve, while Nalthese are more inclined to give? The first question is because it has been bugging me, the second is for my theory. Though I would appreciate anyone who can word the second one better.

So Preservation and Ruin had to collaborate because neither could create. Animals were not sentient because they had balanced amounts of Preservation and Ruin in them. Humans were sentient because they had a tiny piece of Preservation in them... Yes. So do we think that Ruin is unable to give a piece of himself to grant sentience, or just unwilling? Unwilling. He wanted to destroy stuff, and only collaborated to make animals and plants so he could destroy it. Preservation broke the 'deal' by making humans sentient and then trapping Ruin. Furthermore, do we think that humanity has similar origins elsewhere? Did Aona and Skai collaborate on Sel's humans? Was Endowment able to make humans by herself? I don't know. I assume yes on both accounts. Honor claims credit for creating humanity... did he do it alone or did he need help? I know the least about this one, but I believe that he collaborated with Cultivation. Are Scadrians more reckless because of their connection to Ruin? More conservative because of Preservation? Conservative. They have more Preservation in them, and as a result they get allomancy, which is a way for them to preserve their life/power/important-thing. Are Selians more ambitious and/or empathetic? Nalthians more generous? Rosharans more honest? A lot of the basis of this theory is how they obtain their magic. Nalthese use their magic, Breath, by gifting it to others, Rosharins can only use their magic by being honorable (i.e. Kaladin could only use the second phrase by going back to save Dalinar). So, in effect, I would say that the shard of their origin affects their personality.

Em (like you are saying the letter 'm')-er (the noise that you make when you can't think of) -al (like the name)-is (like you are hissing) Simple enough, but my own father mispronounced it, saying the em like the -eme ending of grapheme. Oh! found a good text audio reader site. http://www.naturalreaders.com/index.htm go there in the text box on the right put in "emerrhalissss" switch to the "kate" voice press go that should produce something similar. (The voice pronounces the h but without the h it gets the r wrong. so just remove the h sound.)

Ambrosius What? That can't be right. I'm not paranoid. Am I? Maybe he just wants to...oh! I see. That's what he means. Though he is not entirely correct. There are those who would steal from me. It isn't necessarily material goods that are the mark. Ambro follows Top into the store, checking first to see which one it is.

Interesting. Here is my representation of the word "with". The color and perspective is slightly off, but hey, I am not an artist. EDIT: I'm working on one for the word "Kchan" but names are harder. So far its blue.

I have. My experiences were much the same as you described. Except I tried to take over the world.

Its okay. I was being facetious anyways. yeah, I just need something to start with then I can go into more detail.

That almost sounds like a challenge. My Grandfather has this, but I got him eventually. Join the club. I can't really control it either, but when it happens I'm practically invisible.

Yes they will.

I'm fine with the merchandise and even the ads. The only thing I really have a problem with is the premium membership, unless it doesn't restrict access to posting and boards. Back to the ads, maybe you could put them on the sides of the view, there is a lot of blue empty space there.

sure. *still looking for file* As soon as I find it I will tell you what Ideas I had EDIT: I have no idea what happened to it. this is annoying.

ooh yes. internetz for you. Do you use the magic set editor? I think I worked on a Mistborn set before * goes rummaging through files*
