Has anybody made stats on Slayer? And if so, how did
you go about it? With two different characters for Luc and Isam, combining
both of their abilities, etc.? -------------------- Legends of Darkness Are Not Always Myths - An Ongoing

Steve did a Slayer Template on the old
board. It was pretty well done. I'll e-mail that bum and get him to post it here. -------------------- Not all that is gold, glitters. Not all who wonder

*nods* but I would use two stat sets -- Isam's in
T'A'R and Luc's in the waking world...that's for certain. They are
different personalities (therefore their INT, WIS, CHA would certainly
differ) that are concious of the other personality in POVs but not the
same conciousness...though both are evil and meshed together in
shadowtwisted form occupying Luc's corporeal form with two souls.

so which one of the two is the dreamwalker? Does it
matter? So possibly noble/dai'dore for Luc and armsman for Isam or
noble/armsman. But do they get anything for being shadow tainted? What
should they get? I would love to see this template! ![]() -------------------- Legends of Darkness Are Not Always Myths - An Ongoing

Neither one is a dreamwalker. It is a gift given by
the Darkone to enter the dream world physically. Islam's body is dead and
he lives on in Lord Luc's body. In the real world he looks like Lord Luc.
In the spirit world he can choose which to be. Islam is the one that likes
to kill wolves. I've contacted Steve to put his Template up here. I can't remember exactly how it all works (it's complicated) and I don't want to mess it up by guessing. -------------------- Not all that is gold, glitters. Not all who wonder

Uh, why have we drawn these conclusions? Why can't
Slayer just be one person? His real name is Isam, in the world of dreams
he is known as Slayer, and in the real world his alias is Lord Luc. Why
does it need to be any more complicated?

because he is Lord Luc, of Andor. You know,
Tigraine's brother who ran away to the blight? that caused her to leave,
which caused the whole succession? you know, from the trolloc profecy in The Great Hunt about Luc and Isam and how they meld together into one? -------------------- Legends of Darkness Are Not Always Myths - An Ongoing

We know these things because he was two distinct
people before hand. Luc is Rand's uncle. Islam was Lan's cousin. Went to
blight. Islam was put into Luc's body with Luc by some crazy DO thingy.
And yeah the prophesy thingy. -------------------- Not all that is gold, glitters. Not all who wonder

The reason why it can't be simple, is simply because
it's not simple.... *blinks at my wording* Erm ok. Anyhow, Slayer is two
personalities, mixed into one body, by the DO's hand. And both
personalities have been corrupted to all get-out. Luc still think's he's a
Lord, while Islam is just one sadistic bastard.

well...Luc is pretty sick too. Isam loves killing the souls of dead wolves and has no delusions about himself that we know about Luc loves killing anyone who can channel and his own family members and insists that he's the king of Andor (which can't have kings) I'd say that Isam is sadistic...but Luc is meglomaniac, mentally ill, and also sadistic two sadists...but one is significantly nuttier -------------------- Slayer II The Computer OF DOOM: (Slayer-Isam&

And we know that he's Luc how? Just because he claims
his name is Lord Luc means nothing. Anyone can claim to be anyone! I could
claim to be Napoleon Bonaparte, what difference would it make?! Lord Luc
is a convenient alias for Isam, nothing more. He choice Luc because there
was 0 chance of Luc showing up and proving him wrong.

Axel...Have you ever read the books? Luc is Luc... 1. Because Dark Prophecy identifies him (if the Dark One says he's Luc...odds are he's not Asmodean instead). 2. Because in his POV in Winter's Heart he thinks about how fun it would be to kill Rand and Min using the word "nephew" to refer to Rand...Rand only has ONE uncle we know about...and his name is Luc. If he had any other uncles, they would have told him while he was in the Waste. 3. Luc went into the Blight, Slayer came out of it in accordance with said Dark Prophecy...how many Slayers are there? ONE. How many lost Andoran princes are there ONE. The Dark One can't make bodies, he has to steal them...however, Luc and Isam being princelings pledged to the sword in their infancy...their souls were useful too. Especially Luc's since Isam died as a toddler and had no real life experience. Isam doesn't possess his body without Luc being around because: He wouldn't think of Rand as a nephew in the POV In the POV Luc wouldn't consider letting Isam take over the body to hunt wolves if Isam weren't a seperate entity that Luc can supress And of course we've seen demonstrated here as well that Isam is a valid personality (because Luc-Slayer thinks to himself about Isam-Slayer) as well as Luc.

Also, remember what he looks like in the real world.
That's NOT Isam's body, not by a long shot. Isam resembles his cousin to
the T. An older, colder Lan. Luc looks like he could be rand's uncle
without a doubt. Now, we know that Slayer cannot channel. So how does he
look like Luc in the real world, but can choose either form in Tel?
Furthermore, he can willingly change personalities. Says so in the book
where he kills that old couple, thinking its rand and min (i do believe).
He said that Luc would take more pleasure out of it. quote me if i
miss-quoted it. as Sa-Sara said, they're one and the same, fused by the Dark One according to prophecy. Two enter the Blight, one comes out but both still survive. |

What, I'm supposed to have read the books so many
times I can memorize all these obscure, useless bits of knowledge? I only
read them through twice and the last time was a while back. All I remember
from the Dark Prophecy is that it mentioned Lanfear (because she was
actually important at some point near the prophecy's appearance) And as
for Isam, I only remember him thinking of one person as his nephew, and
that's Lan. He doesn't mention Rand as far as I can remember.

Isam is Lan's cousin. Luc is Rand's (and Galad's)
uncle. -------------------- |

Okay...to address your response... 1. I've only read the books through ONCE. If I can remember something well enough to reference it (I'll admit, I check my books or a summary before writing it down here but I at least remember what was said/done), someone who has read it twice has no excuse but bad memory for not remembering something that was considered significant in the way of POVs...Slayer's POV was filled with answers to questions we've had since he showed up. 2. What drothgery said -- Luc is Rand's uncle, Isam is Lan's COUSIN...it mentions this fact about fifteen times in any given book. 3. It's hardly obscure...it's one of the better known things in the books, at least in the WoT groups I've been in/heard of. (half jokingly) Most people pay attention to Slayer because his POV regards something other than clothing choices and it's a refreshing break from furniture descriptions (sorry...bad RJ writing jokes in there...). 4. Why remember things? Because the plot makes a lot more sense if you do and it makes you look considerably more intelligent when you try to talk about it on these boards. If you can't remember...look it up! -------------------- Slayer II The Computer OF DOOM: (Slayer-Isam&

To toss somethin else in there with Sa Sara's
reply... if you've 'only read the books twice' and dont find the variety
of POV and plot twists interesting dont post like you know it all and your
opinion is Canon..... *edit* sorry that reply really ticked me off, Axel... Look if you're going to come across implying that everyone and their uncle is an idiot for suggesting something that doesnt make sense to you, you better make good and certain that you've got your facts straight and stop shooting from the hip... You're more likely to hit your foot than anyone else...like you did in this post... i hope that little toe grows back btw.... lol *end edit* Thank you, Llewin This post has been edited by Llewin on Sep 16 2004, 01:14 AM |

I'm not insulting anyone, I'm just wondering why
everyone is obsessed with the most complex explanation possible. As for Isam being important. I'm sorry but I can only remember the twit popping up a few times. As Slayer in Perrin's dreams. Slayer is, although significant, hardly something you get alot of information about. He's seen constantly out of the corner of the eye or at a great distance. Then there's Luc. We see him AT ONLY ONE POINT throughout the course of the books, and that is during the seige of Emond's Field, where he occasionally pops up just so he can piss off Perrin and look like a hero. Then we see Isam who appears only once, and then looking at someone's sleeping form contemplating homicide. Forgive me if I don't think this ass is important right now, BUT HE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING. If he does something in the next book worthy of note then I'll recognize him. But if a person doesn't find some way to actually advance the plot, I'm not going to pay attention to him. At this point, however, Bella has managed to advance the plot more than Isam. -------------------- Honorary Paladin of the Lawful Naughty If I seem to hate the d20 system, its only because I hate the system.
