[Brandegoris Al'Mor]

I like this game.........but I'm going to have to think about it. Also I'm not sure if it's in the right forum? It may get moved.
Stil.....*ponders*

I do think it was interesting in aMoL when

Spoiler

TDO shows Rand an AU where Nynaeve and others have been Turned, becoming the new Dreadlords. Nynaeve, Aviendha, Cadsuane, Moiraine as Dreadlords? Pretty awesome, actually. Verin????? *shivers and cackles*

Okay, I thought about now I'll have a go. A brand new Foresaken....

Definitely it would be a male Aes Sedai, of the Brown persuasion if Ajahs had existed back then. A gruff, masculine Verin/Perrin crossover. Speaks with wolves (why? because I can!) but has discovered and developed weaves that allow him to (falsely) develop "affinity" with all animals meaning he has learned ways to use them for his own Dark purposes. It is him who first twisted the Ravens and Rats for the Dark One, and in the end his soul was trapped in a Rat to run around Shayol Ghul immortal for all eternity. But then Faile's horse or somebody steps on him, maybe, during the Last Battle. Or he gets hit by some stray Balefire. Anyway he's dead now.....Or better yet he's the last remaining Foresaken and he's Olver's pet.

Hmm. How was that? Quite good I think, if I do say so myself. :clap

SUPER RAD!!!!!! I love it!! i started the game and I Also have to still think about MY own Forsaken! LOL

 

[Brandegoris Al'Mor]

Hmm lets give it a go. Im not very good at my own game! HAHA BUT oh well:

In the age of legends Gouthane Crrishi Melcandarai was an Aes Sedai of medicocre power. He was just one of many that would never be remembered beyond his death for anything of any importance and that is what started to slowly drive him insane! His need for glory was great. It didnt take long for the Dark One himself to get wind of this fact through his various agents , and so he sent one of his own Forsaken to Gouthrane , though the stories can not agree on which Forsaken it was, and Gouthane was promised a place of Power as a new Dreadlord, and was told that his abilities would increase a hundred fold under the tutelage of Ishmael himself!
Gouthrane agreed readily and soon became one of Sightblinder's most precious spies within Lews Therin's camp. At times he found it hard to not give into his envy and hate of Therin and try to slay him, but he reminded himself that it was through he himself, a mediocre Aes Sedai of no great standing , that Lews Therin would be brought low eventually.
Gouthrane finally made his name when , after several years of feeding information to forsaken spies, he laid a trap during a conclave of Male and female Aes Sedai as they were discussing their options for destroying the dark One! During this great meeting where there was some discussion of using two gigantic Sangreals to accomplish defeating the Dark One, and it was at this meeting that Gouthrane helped compromise security and thousands of trollocs were able to cause a diversion big enough for Gouthrane to use the new found power given to him through his training by Ishmael.
Most who new him understood him to be of little consequence and power and so he was constantly underestimated. That was what helped him slay the heads of three of the Ajahs in one fell swoop. That day the Yellow, white and red Ajah's lost all three of their heads as Gouthrane assainated them one at a time during tha diversion. then he fled to Shayol ghul.
In the end the move caused a huge delay in the plans of the Aes Sedai as new heads needed to be elected and confusion was rampant , and it aslo struck fear into the hearts of other Aes Sedai. How did the dark One get a spy so deep into their ranks.? Were there more spies? If he could so easily infiltrate their highest levels what else could he do? what else did he know?
Gouthrane Adopted the name Val" Mordecai, and then amazingly all records of him cease to exsist. It seems that after his purpose was fulfilled he then never did gain the fame and glory he so longed for. The Other Aes Sedai simply referred to him as Val' Mordecai the Fallen.

HAHAHH well that is my pitiful effort! hahahah But it IS a lot of fun to try and make this stuff up anyway!

 

[Raeviendha al'Toma]

That's great!!

 

[Brandegoris Al'Mor]

Thank you! Its fun!! you should do it too! yay!

 

[Dart Marouvin]

I love his name (Val'Mordacai) and the fact that you had him fall short of his dreams of glory. Makes him that much more badas*.
This game is fun and I love your enthusiasm! :0)

Thank you!!! im going to try and think of cool new games too!!!!!! i feel like it would be soooomuch fun to write short stories using Joordans works as a basis!! so many stories are left untold!!

 

[Dart Marouvin]

Totally! Are you a "Citizen" on this site yet? You get access to more boards. Sometimes we do games and stuff and light role-playing (even though we aren't a roleplaying site) You should stick around, it'd be fun to have you!

It does suck how many stories are left untold in the WoT universe untold...while it's nice our imaginations have so much to work with, even after soooo many books and so many years I still want more!

 

[Brandegoris Al'Mor]

Im not a citizen yet. I applied but i assumed they are overworked Or they are still mildly scared of me and not sure they want that kind of commitment? hahaha

 

[Laralelle Susandrea]

Good suggestion, but definitely belongs in the book 14 thread. Moving it there now.

 

[Colin al'Gondor]

Really I think a male forsaken who would simply just go about killing at random would be really evil. Just pick a village at random and kill everyone, and then move on. In general someone actually doing something to cause fear and terror into people "behind the lines" would have made a scary forsaken. Imagine someone just slipping into Murandy and killing everyone left behind, and then moving on to another undefended capitol or the like.....

Like someone that Uses DISEASE would be scary too! Everywhere he goes he leaves a trail of putrid dead! Whole villages slain! LOL

First of all a perfect Forsaken(My Chosen ) wouldn't act as childish as the 13 we all know!She would seek her Master's approval and would do everything to bring down the Hall of Servants.Her greatest opponent wouldn't be Lews Therin(he had enough Forsaken against him trying to defeat him) but someone else,let's say her target would be to destroy Latra Posae and her plan that focused on using the Choedan Kal.Her mind would be the darkest and would use every known method to succeed.The other female Forsaken killed her because they were jealous of her abilities...

 

[Marivea al'Corriyi]

The most terrifying Forsaken would be one that was intelligent. Think about it. The 13 Forsaken are all scary and powerful, but they're not all that clever. Not terribly creative, unless it's within their small field of interest, not very innovative, but blindly believe that since they're Forsaken, they're better and will win. That's why my Forsaken is smart, and not mad.

Imagine: A slim, unprepossessing man with tidy short brown hair, light blue eyes, and a sweet smile that lights up slowly. He is of medium height, neither tall, nor short, nor skinny, nor stocky, and not terribly charismatic. He is a wonderful researcher, but it isn't his chosen field. What he enjoys most is learning new ways to do things that others haven't. He has the rare ability to use many different weaves to do the same thing, unlike most channelers who find that difficult. He is also talented at making ter'angreal, though he does not study them beyond how much he needs to in order to make them. Like his appearance, he is neither an extremely powerful, nor extremely weak channeler. By Third Age standards he is immensely powerful, but in the Second Age, he stands a little below Moghedien, and like her, he uses his mind to make up for a great deal of his strength deficit in cunning.

This man--Elann Marcin--goes to the Shadow. It is out of despair. The Light cannot win, for the Creator does not directly interfere with the world as the Dark One does, and the Creator lets humans fight for themselves. Weak, small humans--they cannot stand! So he defects and becomes one of the Dark One's most influential and important Chosen.
One of Elann's main strategies is to select an area of resistance to the Dark One, and then introduce a disease in the area, a new disease he either would get from one of the researchers among the Forsaken, or one he would discover for himself in remote places on the globe, or even on other worlds. (See the wiki: some people in the AoL traveled to other worlds among the stars.) He even discovered a disease that would attack channelers directly, although it unfortunately had a very low death rate, and disfigured far more than it killed.

He alone of many of the Forsaken never used Balefire, instead using many unorthodox things as weapons, such as skimming and weather-working.
Elann also became proficient in the use of Tel'aran'rhiod. He found it an excellent tool when it came to corrupting enemy leaders, or manipulating them quietly. He often used Tel'aran'rhiod to assassinate prime targets, or to create confusion by forcing every ordinary person who came into Tel'aran'rhiod to commit suicide, or to attack their superiors.

When the Bore was sealed, Elann was trapped--in Tel'aran'rhiod--with his body completely destroyed. He lived on for thousands of years in Tel'aran'rhiod, but considered himself now safe from the Dark One after so many millennium of quiet. Eventually, Elann's mind began to merge with Tel'aran'rhiod itself, and he, as an individual consciousness no longer exists. When Elann first noticed that his mind was beginning to slip away, he rejoiced and welcomed the change as it happened, for he felt that it would be just and right for part of himself to linger in Tel'aran'rhiod in order to quietly assist the servants of the Light.

Despite the great evils Elann committed, he was a tortured soul, inwardly, and often begged the Light for forgiveness. He did not believe he ever could be forgiven, and so was consumed by bouts of despair and depression, till his eventual 'death' and merging with Tel'aran'rhiod.

My Forsaken would be the Old Tongue equivalent of a female Joker! Harley Quinn with the use of saidar!! That thought terrifies me

 

[CitezenOfAringill]

How about another chosen who knew the Lewis Therin, BUT, as a teenager, and he always got bullied by him during weaving classes due to his less than average skill, so went on to swear his oaths to the dark one in order to extract his revenge on his former Channeling school tormenter

 

[Brandegoris Al'Mor]

Marivea! that is awesome!!!!! I like that when he is consumed by the world of dreams he THEN starts to quietly aid the servants of LIGHT! RAD!
Citizenofaringill I like ur style
Matteo!!! No female Jokers!!! :LOL!
