User blog:Leolab/Rand al'Thor vs Vin

NOTE: Rand'll be as he is in the earlier books, before he became d--- near a god. This is to balance out the fight. This also means that he won't be using complex weaves/spells.

Rand al'Thor: The Dragon Reborn and hero of the Wheel of Time series,

vs

Vin: One of the most powerful Allomancers, the second Preservation and heroine of the Mistborn trilogy.

Rand
Short: A sword made from pure magic. It is usually made out of a weave of Fire for maximum psychological effect.

Mid: A quarterstaff. Rand isn't too skilled with this weapon, though he does know how to use it.

Long: The Two Rivers Longbows are widely regarded as some of the best bows ever made. It has a large draw strength, but fires fast and over a long range.

Special: Saidin. The male half of the One Power. To control it is to fight constatnly against it, and to dominate it. The only limit to what Rand can do is his knowledge, which is extensive due to teh fact that he has the memories of one of the oldest and most powerful Aes Sedai (mages).

Vin
Short: Daggers made from hardened glass. Vin is very skilled with these.

Mid: A giant sword made for a warrior over seven feet tall. That fanart *shudder* that was posted on Vin's page? That sword is undersized.

Long: Vin Allomantically pushes coins. They are silent and hard to notice, and are fast enough to severely dent metal plate armor (though why the allomancer in question didn't just pull on the armor is a seperate issue)

Special: Ah, Allomancy. It's magic that comes from ingesting certain metals and "burning" them. There are a limited number of powers, and Vin has access to a rather limited skillset. Tin enhances her senses, Peweter enhances her strength, Brass "soothes" or drpresses a target's emotions, Zinc "riots" or inflames a target's emotions, Stel and Iron allow her to push and pull metals to controll them, Aluminum and Gold are generally useless, Copper and Brass have no use here, though they do against other allomancers, Atium allows her to see what will happen in the future (as an "atium shadow" overlayed on the present image) as well as enhancing her reflexes so that she can react to these, and Duralumin acts as an enhancer to unleash all of the power stored in the metal she is currently burning in an instant.

Who. Is. Deadliest? Rand al'Thor Vin

I'm going to be experimenting with something. A well-thought out and posted reason will add one to the poll, and a half-a--ed posted reason will add a half. Cop-out votes (i.e., Rand because I like WoT better) will not be counted.
