Basically my bid for a badge, and this is what I have on hand—the start of a character.
Based on the Mistborn world created by Brandon Sanderson. The world's too complicated for me to really lay it out and do it justice, but if you're intrigued, go read his books.
What you might need to know:
-The magic in this story is called Allomancy. Allomancers have the ability to use or "burn" metals to fuel a variety of physical and mental enhancements or abilities.
-Powers are derived by ingesting vials with metal flakes suspended in a liquid. Different metals give different powers.
-Utilizing a metal is called "burning."
-Anyone that can burn one metal is called a Misting (rare). The ability to burn any of the allomantic metals is called a Mistborn (very powerful, very rare). A person can either burn all metals, one, or none.
