Ok, yeah that makes sense.

So Something that I have wondered about the Cosmere ever since I’ve begun learning about it is what is the real nature of the Shards as far as are they needed in the universe for the relevant ideal to be present. Take Honor for example. Honor’s ideal obviously influences Roshar significantly, being a fundamental part of religion, culture, magic,…[Read more]

Alright, I think that’s fine. I think that the prospective split up into multiple books is ultimately the better call.

Nice! Would this actually count as a full short story? I couldn’t detect any full plot, but maybe it’s there. One piece of advice my writing teacher gave us for our short story assignment was ‘make sure you write a short story and not just a scene.’ Putting aside whether it counts as a short story, it’s a really good snapshot/scene at least.

@highscribeofaetherium

Yep, that is the intention. The question, however, is why?

@jonas

Yeah, although in this story at least, I don’t find Adikar particularly interesting, he’s actually fairly flat. But he would probably be more interesting earlier in his career.

What I would want to see is his degradation into what he eventually became. It would have to be really subtle though, and feel like this could be a process that you…[Read more]

@jonas

I’m assuming you meant ‘Nale’? I think you combined ‘Nale’ and Taln.

Whoops😅

Yeah, I think it might have been largely subconscious on my part, but I definitely see the similarities. What I find intriguing about my character is the differences from Nale or Szeth. The scene is obviously similar to when we first meet Szeth in SA, and the chara…

@grcr

Although another theme is to simply avoid making deals with the devil😅

@grcr

The moral is hypocrisy. To do evil on someone means that you yourself have done evil, regardless of what name you have committed it under.

@jonas

So this is essentially a Naln and Szeth character. I like how you added the Unspace sword you talked about earlier, and the price of hypocrisy was a good ending and theme. Great job!

@savannah_grace2009

This is indeed a big change. You may be changing a bit too much, while change is good, you can halt your progress completely by making to many revisions (*says as if I wasn’t the most guilty of this exact thing). However, first person can help more with experiential writing, which I think is more your style anyways. I think it…[Read more]

Question, how much of the Hyperbolii’s characteristics are inherently true, and how much is literally just hyperbole?🤣

…and eat out of their trash cans…

which are filled with a gazillion mountains worth of food so healthy, people can go for eons upon eons without eating anything after eating a single crumb! To maintain normality however, the Hyperbolii…

New Topic: Culture

This is by far the greatest civilization of mankind, the people of Hyperbolii. They’re like, over a million times better than anyone else. They’re so great, that…

@everyone

Awesome, so now we have the world of Vlelain, filled with creatures such as sniffer cows, and a magic system that plays with the mind. Great start! Should we create a new topic? Perhaps culture?

@scripter-of-kingdoms

(Rewriting this for the third time now, because it keeps getting deleted lol!)

ahh, set theory was actually pretty decent, i can vibe with you on that one for sure. it’s one of the easier topics out there lol

Yeah! Set Theory is intuitive and logical, and feels fundamental, so it’s fun to ponder over. Unfortunately, R…[Read more]

@scripter-of-kingdoms

nice to meet you! what’s your favourite kind of math? i’m currently studying algebra II heheh (although math is far from my favourite subject criiiii)

Hmmm, I really enjoy Set Theory, Number Theory, as well as Topology, amongst other fields, so my interests are a little all over the place, but the core of what I like abo…[Read more]

@jonas

I could probably join. There’s actually already a Character Castle RP forum, and I think theirs another castle one, but I can’t remember, but why not another? My issue with joining is that most of my favorite characters are already in existing RPs, two in the Character Castle, and four in another RP not on KP. This doesn’t mean that I…[Read more]
