What MB character are you and why?
« on: September 19, 2008, 03:26:34 AM »
So I often think about, if I had the opportunity to be one of the characters in the Mistborn series who would I be and for what reason. I mean Sure they all have their ups and downs and I'm sure we have all thought about it a time of two so why not throw it out there and see who you would be.

I for one wish I thought enough about myself to pick Kell but I'm a little more realistic and I don't think I'm that much of a genius. So I would pick Elend, I wouldn't even pick him because of what happens at the end of MB2, I think I would pick him because even though he doesn't always know what hes doing he knows why hes doing it. He does what he believes in and I like that. That's something I think I could get behind.

See me, on the other hand, consider myself more than arrogant enough to pick Kell regardless of whether or not I think I'm a genius. But if I wasn't Kell, I'd be Zane, for sure.
I came because I heard stories, tales of a lengendary man.
A man who was known as the Lord of the Mists, a man they named Survivor.
A man called Hope.

I was close to picking both of those guys. Strangely closer to picking Zane than Kell but that could be because of the voice inside my head.

VOICE: Go eat some Mac and Cheese
Me: Why not

I know the feeling. I was so close to just picking Zane, but the whole cutting myself and homicidal sides nudged me the other way.

Sazed, hands down.

I love the keepers of knowledge type characters. I relate to them the most. Plus, for some reason, I empathize with him.

I would be Yomen.

I could tell you why, but that would be a spoiler.

Breeze. I've always really liked his character and I seem to understand him a lot more than any of the others. Now as to whether or not that means I'm anything like him is another question entirely, but if it's my choice...

I like a lot of the characters, but my favorites are Kell and Sazed.  I would probably want to be Ham tho.

Sazed, hands down.

No, I'm not a Eunuch. Although it certainly seems like it sometimes.  :'(

I would be Yomen.

I could tell you why, but that would be a spoiler.

There's only a couple things we know about Yomen at this point. He was an Obligator from Urteau that was opposed to Lord Cett and invaded Fadrex when Cett invaded Luthadel. At this point 'The Citizen' took over Urteau, assuming that Yomen is not actually Quellion. It's possible that Yomen is the third voice in the conversation, the one that says 'Until that bastard Venture took control'.

Anyway, I've been curious about Obligators for some time, because of a quote paragraph or two that seem straightforward but could have a different meaning.

Quote from: MB1
“My . . . obligators . . .” the Lord Ruler whispered.

“Your obligators will forget you,” Marsh said. “I will see to that. The other Inquisitors are dead, slain by my own hand. Yet, the gathered prelans saw you transfer power to the Canton of Inquisition. I am the only Inquisitor left in Luthadel. I rule your church now.”

“No . . .” the Lord Ruler whispered.

......

The Lord Ruler cast his eyes down at the crowd, and the final realization of his failure seemed to hit him. He looked back up at the ring of people who had defeated him.

“You don’t understand,” he wheezed. “You don’t know what I do for mankind. I was your god, even if you couldn’t see it. By killing me, you have doomed yourselves. . . .”

Look at it in this light. The Lord Ruler was trying to say something important about the Obligators but Marsh, who may have been controlled by Ruin at this point, interrupts him. I seriously doubt that TLR cared about whether he would be remembered anymore. Then he looks down at the crowd, or at least in their general area. It could also be in the general area of the Canton of Orthodoxy Headquarters. Hmmm? Hmmmmmm?
Now you've got all the ones with beards on one side and all the
moustaches on the other.

I picked Marsh, because it thought it would be the most picked.

i rock.

And because he has alot to overcome. I also have an inner struggle, i guess its empathy--an age old binding that authors try and forge between character and reader. He got me, he found my type of character. Everytime i think about Marsh or Zane my heart begins to throb and the throbbing blossom in a full garden of dread, usually i take in a deep breath--which douses it, but only temporarily. The word is Catharsis. Thats what happens.

"I don't feel good."
"They do that to you."

You know I attempted to add a variety of characters to this pole but I didn't realize that I didn't include any obligators. My apologies to all, it was a failing on my part and that's all I can say. Actually come to think about it I could have added Ruin because we know it is a thinking and acting entity although we don't know too much about it. But hind sight being what it is I guess there isn't much to be done.

I went with Zane. If I had the abilities of a mistborn I too would be extremely arrogant and insane. I wouldn't even need the spike I truly believe that with that kind of power I would become an absolute maniac. Don't get me wrong I wouldn't go all evil just completely insane.

Sazed, please.

Although, realistically, i'd probably be boring enough to end up being dox :(
