Does this mean you've all joined my legion of Ganoes fanseh eh?

Well we know he's ascendant. But hey would it not be cool if he also became a soletaken!! And and, from the looks of it maybe he does get pushed to his limits in this book. Then again Patch could just be teasing me

AS to his state of mind, its more, You do what you want to do and I'll do what I want to do. If you don't like it you can go rot in a little corner of Hood's relam

I think in some ways that his kind of.. "soletaken" form may be just as potent if not more so than the normal soletakens. Also, he claims the ability to call the hounds of shadow at will, which kinda grants him a bit of power all things considered. Also, he might just be able to call the Hounds of Darkness which I still stubbornly refuse to accept is the same thing as the Deragoth.

[Morgoth]

Paran, like his sister is a person very able to handle extreeme pressure. Or so it seems to me at any rate. He went from being a captain in a dying regiment to perhaps the most influential human alive, yet he did not buckle under for the pressure, in fact he did much the opposite. He seems to be his best when in the most difficult of situations.

I agree with Serenity, seeing Paran pushed to his limits could prove... interesting.

That's what i really like about Paran is that he has still free will, and his decisions are not bound to anyone or anything. so I think he is one of the sanest person in the storyline. The power he has didn't spoil him.

[Abyss]

Paran's yet another multiple-power-up character...

Oponn's meddling, which according to Rake didn't leave any traces (that he could find), the Hound's blood, the MoD position and his affiliation with the Bridgeburners is a pretty potent combination even before his decent swordmanship.

It would be interesting to see the extent of power available to him as MoD. Travelling anywhere and 'blessing' new players may only be the beginning, or it may be the limit of his ability to moderate disputes between Powers.

The Hound connection is interesting - i wonder if this affects his ability to be impartial is Shadow, Emurlahn or Meanas, comes into question.

- Abyss, moderates disputes between food groups.

You checked what you wrote before you posted right? Cause if he isn't an ascendant I don't quite know what he is.

[fortyseven]

Ganoes Paran is a mortal on the Path of Ascenscion.

Btw, I love VBulletin, I'm glad the site using it now.

[Folken]

Well by now he's an ascendant Quite a bit of time passed between the end of MoI and end of HoC. He was already on the verge of becoming one in the middle of MoI. So he should be one now already.

[fortyseven]

Coltaine didn't Ascend (or at least not till he died) despite doing a lot more in less time. The marines turned golden stayed close to Ascending for a while. We'll find out in BH I guess.

[Morgoth]

I dont think he's fully ascended yet, but he is close.

And Folken, I've been a Paran fan longer than you, so In fact it is you who have joined my Paran fan club

[Rich the Great]

I'm of the opinion that the Master of the Deck will remain a mortal, given the power a mortal can wield against ascendants, only a mortal can kill ascendants and all that. Reckon he will remain on the brink of asendancy, given all the power he commands.

True, but it was I who created the Fan Club. I'm fairly vocal about my liking for Paran...Tiste thinks its unhealthy for me.

And he's ascendant, for Hood's sake. Why is everyone saying he isn't when we know that there is no other explaination. We shall speak no more of such blashpemous thoughts:mad:

Now another question. You think Ganoes will have the ability to wield Magic? He's not a mage, but he can travel into literally every warren that ever existed in the Deck of Dragons and the Holds.
And one thing thats always bugged me, was how he beat those condor's. If he can do that...why not just draw from tenscowri or something and punch the card?:confused:
