!!!

That’s so cool!!! Me too! I haven’t heard of the five fold ministry before, but it makes perfect sense. That’s actually very close if not identical to how The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is organized, just with some different terminology!

We have a prophet: President Russel M. Nelson, bearing all priesthood keys…[Read more]

@highscribeofaetherium

Ok, that, seriously, is one of the coolest ideas ever.

Thanks🤣😅

@jonas

Cool! I had a similar idea once, but with a smaller gap that was mainly an aesthetic rather than practical consideration.

Yeah, if you have the power to make physical gaps like that, the power in weapons, gadgets, and everything else you could make would…[Read more]

@everyone @power

Ok, next sword! You make an excellent point Power, but what if the sword is something like this? This one is unnamed, and may or may not be unique:

It is a blade with a physical gap half way through. It is constructed through a 4 dimensional bridge, so the space in-between, any 3 dimensional object can pass through. So it…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

Thank you! And I will be praying that your mission goes well and that you touch many people’s lives with God’s word and light!

Thanks!😁

Yes! You would be correct in assuming I’m some sort of off-shoot of Protestant.

Good to know, thanks!

@kathleenramm @trailblazer

Thanks for joining the chat Trailblazer!

And to be frank, as the r…

I thought I’d just mention that the thing about the name being an acronym is that suggests that it is actually English, and not Andromedan. Using the word Unit is fine, because we know that in the world, it’s just called something that means the same thing, but to acknowledge the individual letters in the story makes it…[Read more]

@hybridlore

I like it! Thing is my favorite, lol. I don’t think you should change the name even though it’s a little mean, but it’s up to you. I think it fits her and she likes it, so it works.

Thanks! I love Thing, she makes a great dynamic with Tailen, and is fun, funny, and perfect for not so subtle infodumping🤣

The plot is a little confu…

@jonas

I could join. I’m not sure what characters I would put up though. I’ll skim through the forum and see if it sparks my interest.

@jonas

So is that to say that if it somehow had multiple needles or something it would work? But then the two people would have to walk around holding the sword between them. Or could the evil entity somehow spread to multiple swords that would allow it to control multiple people?

Let’s just said that the physical blade itself is not…[Read more]

@rae

It’s a knife, with a blade surrounded by green mist. It can pierce stone, and is a poisoned blade. It chooses one master, and unless the master gives it away, it will never serve another.

While sharp and will pierce the flesh of almost anything, it can never hurt its master, even if the master wills it to.

It’s a mysterious magical bla…

@rae

That’s dark. I can see Grathmere doing that.

Yeah, a little😅 Is Grathmere one of your characters or a weapon?

Right now, Liren. I can’t say if he’s the first or the last, but this is his current lot. I can’t say much else about who he was, but his now rugged clothing seems to have once been the uniform of a noble.

Now to the cool stuff!

Introducing, Kirrtes:

Kirrtes is a one of a kind blade. While the sword itself seems like a noble weapon, you can see the corrupted gem, alluding to its nature. Kirrtes has a consciousness, if you can call it that at least. It thinks and schemes towards an ultimate goal. It can control it’s wielder perfectly, muscle per…[Read more]

@jonas

Yeah, I just wanted to make sure I got the personality right above all. It did say that she floated around, so wheels wouldn’t be necessary, although it could be an additional function.

@rae

Sorry if this offends you

The deepest, darkest corners of my soul are rising, bubbling with rage likened to a volcano at the mere thought of being asked such a question!!!

… … … Lol no🤣🤣🤣🤣

I worry about offending people sometimes too, but if people can’t handle a simple question or criticism about something they created, then that’s…[Read more]

@jonas @highscribeofaetherium @savannah_grace2009

What are y’all’s thoughts on my depiction of Thing?

@rae

Ok, first, before all the cool stuff, I’ll introduce the standard Shome’el sword and shield:

There isn’t much to say about the sword, but I like the design. As for the shield (front and side profile) It is designed with a curved body, that forms a kind of pseudo roof. This is because of the nature of Omialia being in a space of…[Read more]

@highscribeofaetherium @jonas

I that’s how I did it actually now checking the original document:

You’re telling me. I had more questions, but held my tongue because Thing’s current track record hasn’t been the most helpful for answering them, other than explaining my inability to eat.

Thanks Jonas for explaining what made sense in my head, but c…[Read more]

@jonas

A fair concern. Despite his reputation, Sanderson has left his readers on edge for extended periods of time with little word, take The Rithmatist for example. That being said, that was more of a side project that he’s simply been putting off, whereas Stormlight is one of his biggest series, and he’s far more invested. Knowing him, I would…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

It’s so hard to just pick one main character out of the set of five, though! I love all them equally!!! XD

That’s fair. I think you can make it work as well, it is harder for smaller stories though, but not impossible.

This is funny, to me it feels like they’re my best friends and if I choose one over the other they’ll get m…

@jonas

Okay, that’s kind of what I was thinking. I don’t know if it needs to be clearer or not. I don’t know how many other people would notice, and I already had a guess as to why. So maybe rewording it slightly would clear things up.

Ok, fair enough, I’ll tweak it then.

If you’re attached to it, I don’t think it needs to change at any point. It…

@jonas

Ok, I actually didn’t know that it would be different characters, but it makes sense. Sanderson likes exploring the different eras.
