Ahh! *proceeds to insert condensed character summary..* Laith has an interesting backstory. His mother was Aes Sedai and his father a warder. See bio...☺️ Feel free to reach out!

Laith has been weary of becoming a warder lately. He thinks of his parents. Their love and their bond couldn't save them. Probably want to save him. However, these thoughts are to be challenged. With that, I'd probably work through the mechanics of Laith being bonded to an Aes Sedai. Through the bond, his loss of sight is healed by the one power. With restored sight, his technique and strength increases. The healing is temporary, however, and must be restored at any given moment. So, the arc is simple. Laith must learn to trust and depend on being bonded to an Aes Sedai if he is to fulfill his goal of never again losing someone he cares for.

I haven't gotten around to DnD but it's been something on the to do list. Would like to get something going. I also have not ran a play-by-post. If a rp is out together I would be interested in joining.

Name: Laith Arrya Age: 32 born (Adar 998 NE) Place of birth: Cairhien - River Erinin - Selean Physical Description Height: 5'9' Weight: 185 Eyes: Dark Brown Skin: Dark Hair: Black Body: Slim/Muscular Other: High cheek bones makes him handsome but as a woman who's face was chiseled from stone. Has scar over left eye. Personality He is very out going. Highly optimistic. Aside from being disciplined he can be a tad bit adventurous. Character History Brenin Arrya was a good man born in a Arad Doman. He was an even better warder. Celia Selana was the daughter of a carpenter. From Cairhien. Laith came along shortly after the two had met. He never knew either his father nor mother. He knew that his mother was a commoner from Cairhien and his father from Arad Doman. The midwife had told his uncle that his sister Celia had died clutching the boy in her arms. His father was a man who took hold of his bond an rode off to protect it. He also died soon after his Aes Sedai had sacrificed herself to protect the White Tower. Brenin Arrya simply gave up hope soon after. Before he died have gave Laith his cloak in hopes that after year's of training Laith may also become a warder. Since the day both of his parents died Laith went to live with his uncle and his best friend Calin Draman Arrya. Calin happened to be his cousin. The boys were always getting into some sort of mischief. Chasing off Miss Parram's chickens and the such. Even playing jokes on the other commoner children. The two once snuck into a prominent chapter house outside of Cairhien where illuminators stored their fireworks. The boys thought they would light a few and scare the town folk. When the door was closed behind them Calin handed Laith a torch. Laith bent down to light the waxed tail of a firework sticking out of a box and the boys turned to scurry towards the door. The door would not open. When the box went off they are trapped inside. The explosion could be head from Selean to Taien. The house collapsed. There was not much left of Calin when his father, Laiths uncle and the towns people arrived. Laith also had lost his sight in his left eye and bares a scar on his face to remind him. After the incident Laith blamed himself and became anger that he had lost most of his family. Driven by his desire to make a life for himself and to live up to his fathers expectations he decides now is the time he picks up the warders cloak. One day he tells his uncle that he wants to train with the warders. He's ready. He would rather die with honor than to die in as a commoner. If he is to lose his life then he dies he will be with those he lost. Laith is sent off with his fathers cloak as he packs in into his traveling bag he smiles at the thought that he has a chance to make his family proud. Character Reputation: He is know to be loyal to the end. Sacrificial to a cause.

I have read through the various boards in New Beginnings. Including the general information. In order to keep things organized and stick to the CoC/guidelines/character creation, I would require that someone help me with the bio if possible. Thanks! Best!

What has been your feelings towards Nynaeve's book character vs Nynaeve's character in the tv series? Nynaeve's character is known for her angry. This anger is a conduit for her channeling. I've come to conclude that as a character on paper she is highly abusive in almost every way. Nynaeve "switches bottoms, slaps and punches the man she loves, often takes of hurting her friends." However, in the tv series I wonder how her Character will develop. I have to say that I strongly dislike the way Nynaeve's character reads on paper.

Hey all! I'm in. I'd be a warder more than likely.

I have read into the writers strike so I could have a bit of context. It's very unfortunate that writers are not being compensated fairly. Before I began the WoT series I had no previous emotions towards this topic. However, after reading the books and watching the first season I came to witness the WoT series grow in popularity. It's almost as it Amazon knew that they would be able to gain a greater return on their investment while getting viewers hooked going into S2. Streaming has skyrocketed. I think streaming companies like Amazon will influence post production and filming in the future. This is because budgets will more than likely increase. I'm hoping S3 isn't effected. Fans around the world have already been on quite a rollercoaster with S2.

@DojoToad typically I'm not a fan of the metaphysical stuff. I have to admit that I was a bit lost. I can almost see the meaning of Tel'aran'rhiod. It seems to be based on belief. If you believe that you have been injured in the world then you are injured in reality. Also for each weave there seems to be one creator one dark one and one Tel'aran'rhiod. Which as you have stated might confuse many and force them to grind through to the good bits. Thanks for sharing.

@RainHarlow Not familiar with Mage. I instantly linked Tel'aran'rhiod to ter'angreal as a means to traverse or travel between realms. It's all very interesting to me.

@DojoToad what was is that you didn't care for? If you don't mind to share.

@RainHarlow its a pleasure to meet you.

*try to keep spoilers to a minimum. Thanks!👍 I have officially read books 1-6. I am starting book 7 soon. Tel'aran'rhiod was interesting to dive into. Robert Jordan is able to build a world that revolves around all the worlds linked to the wheel of time. Just thinking about that initially made my head spin. What stood out to you about this, "unseen world", when it was first introduced? I am hoping to get more context on Tel'aran'rhoid through the books.

Nice! What did you think about TFOH?

@cairos nice to meet you. I look forward to growing with the community.

I have completed the form as well as read and understand the rules 👍

New here! Looking to grow with the community. I am truly a harder at heart. That is all.

@Disco I loved Kramer's Mistborn narration. He also does a great job with WoT. So, I'm both physical copy and audio. I think Kate Reading does a great job matching the Aes sedai voices how I hear them when they are read. I'm soon to start book 7. I started reading after the show and out of a need to know more about the world and those living in it.

I have to agree with 90% of the forum. The repetitive nature of the books is something to loathe. RJ tends to describe the fabric of a dress for what seems to be 1/3 of a page. Like do we need to know what fabric and how the hems are down....not really. One thing Id like to add is that if you are an audible listener you hardly notice the difference in writing styles between RJ and BS. This is because Michael Kramer (co-narrator) of the WoT series also narrates BJ cosmere series well know ln Mistborn series. Since audible is a different medium I've found that I have less critics about the writing style because of the deliver of the content. Plus Michael Kramer is the best. Id suggest to try audible as well as the physical copies. This is coming from a book lover who gave it a try. Great post!

Hi! New here and sign me up. I've started using discord more lately. I find that initial discord can be overwhelming due to time zones. Real time rp just sounds fun. For these reasons and general consensus, forum based might work better. I'm interested to hear what hybrid might look like.

I'm glad that you decided to give the book a try and that you are enjoying it. Best part about starting the series is the community. I've just stumbled across this forum and I am enjoying it. I've been reading since January 2023 and I have halfway through the 6th book. From what I recall Nynaeve was a character whom I struggled to understand. There are many twist and turns that I can say without spoilers. I also enjoyed Perrins subplot, then again, I love animals and wolves see at the top of that list. The one power is just interesting to me. I like that even in fantasy there are rules (parameters) when it comes to magic. This brings about a constant enter conflict between characters. To me this makes the characters more vulnerable which makes them a bit more real. If that makes sense. Happy reading!
