Emeralis00 she/her Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 (edited) If you had a massive amount of Breath in the real world and know one else did, what would you do with it? Lets say the amount is about fifth heightening. Information on the heightenings can be found on the wiki: http://www.17thshard.com/wiki/Heightening Edited March 12, 2011 by Emeralis00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck he/him Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I would become a spy: life sense = no sneaking up for you! perfect pitch/hue = an entirely new cipher system that only i can crack on the fly resistance to disease/toxins = der plus, i'd be able to awaken my own swat team at a moment's notice. then again, if I'd be functionally immortal, I'm pretty sure I'd just try a whole bunch of different things out (since I imagine that being/doing any one thing for hundreds of years would get old) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leinton Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I would become a musician... again. I've always been jealous of people who have perfect pitch. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silus - Shard of Flame he/him Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I agree that perfect pitch would be wicked, but art might be something I'd try my hand at with hue recognition. I've always been fascinated by color relationships and it would be so cool. But again, immortality, doing lots of stuff. Also, I'd probably experiment at least a little with Awakening.

CrazyRioter she/her Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I'd try my hand at wicked abstract art. And anything else that caught my fancy. Cause hey, immortal. Also, I could kill people with their own clothes, no need to worry about random muggers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyzenthlay Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Already being a musician by profession, and an artist by hobby, I would be overwhelmed with perfect pitch and hue! If I weren't spending all my time singing or in front of the canvas, I would probably be like Puck and become a spy. I hope it would prove to be a more lucrative career.

Deus Ex Biotica Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I would do SCIENCE with it. Studying BioChroma with modern tools to measure things? It would be priceless. When Awakened things move, is my body getting much colder, or is the surrounding air? If not, in what form is all that kinetic energy being stored when the Breaths are in my body. Probably something electromagnetic - it does alter the frequency of nearby light. Does Life Sense allow me to know what picture a human is seeing on a card? Can I break the training of guard dogs? If I use the right lenses, can Perfect Hue apply to infrared and ultraviolet scales of light? Do things inside of mircowave ovens look different? What about Cathode Ray TVs? The possibilities are almost endless. -- Deus Ex Biotica P.S. Also, I would not age or get sick, and could send Raggedy Ann dolls to bring me breakfast in bed. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaeMofo Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 I would walk around in a Darth Vader suit for the next 50 years while strangling people with their own collars, and as i would have perfect pitch i would have to go on a rampage throughout music stores and break every Justin Bieber CD i could get my hands on 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 I'd lay out a slow but sure plan to take over the world from the background. The plan would be infalible, since I'd have millenia to plan it out. I'd also go into composing, music playing(again), art(again), and maybe even research Awakening. As an added bonus, I could try awakening things with artifical mouths to awaken things, which would be amazingly awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaeMofo Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 I could try awakening things with artifical mouths to awaken things, which would be amazingly awesome That would be amazing! If i had breaths i would share them with someone who had good ideas like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeralis00 she/her Posted October 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Its kinda funny that people noticed this thread. Way back when I made it I had meant to put second heightening but when people began posting I was to afraid to change it. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Imagine what you could do with chain-awakenings! It would be AMAZING! Plus it would rid you of the problem of reeding to touch an object, artificially reproducing 10th heightening's indirect awakening powers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenegadeShroom Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 On that note, we totally should've asked Brandon if artificial life forms could be given Breaths and transfer them, as well. Awakened robots able to transfer Breaths? Yes please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awakened robots able to transfer Breaths? Yes please! Come to think of it, Lifeless would work just fine for this purpose. They're pretty much be a Rube Goldburg of Breaths, you'd get far more for your money. If you could somehow implant a command to force a lifeless to surrender its breath upon dying, you'd solve the issue of said breaths being previously irretriveable.

RenegadeShroom Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Better question- can Nightblood awaken? Now there's a scary thought. What would it awaken? Horrifying thought, though. I'm sure it'd be enough to make any Nalthian who realised what it was doing to wet themselves in terror! That's why it's impossible for Nightblood to kill you in your sleep. . . .

jcole01 Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 If i'm being honest...I don't have nearly the integrity to trust myself with that much power. That said, an army of marching gingerbread men sounds pretty fun right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinpoint he/him Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 I would awaken a flame thrower and use it to destroy bad government. The flames would be black and would turn anything they touched into smoke. booya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartbug he/him Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 I would probably waste that on making a huge number of Nightblood class awakened with modern commands. Like, Remember Things, or Correct Test. It would be interesting to see the effects of a command like that, also. I mean, there is so much we do not know.

Moogle Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) Fifth Heightening means immortality. Or well, no aging, no sickness. This seems wonderful and I think I would be Awakening nothing and enjoying life. I don't think I would change anything about my life if I were immortal. I'm already planning as if I might be finance-wise (I plan on saving up enough money to live off of investments for eternity and retiring early). Learning Awakening on the side would be fun though, even if I would never get into any dangerous situations it has a lot of utility. Climbing the sides of buildings, general protection, I imagine you could find a way to make a car-equivalent with the Fifth Heightening...

Darkarma he/him Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Being an engineering bachelors and an IT user by profession I'd be spending every chance I could studying awakening. I'd also probably awaken my own Bob the Skull permanently to help me do said research and make money. The money would then be investment so I can spend more time researching. *Puts on hermit hat* And no one would see me for the next 500 years until I created true artificial life! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peng the Just he/him Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 1. get 2000 dead squirells 2. put them in boxes 3. awaken each one as a lifeless 4. tell them to run around screaming and destroy furniture 5. release them at strategic times and locations 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
