Would it be possible for my PC to be created by Invention as a contingency weapon or something? Something like Odium wants to use Dalinar or Trell wants to use Telsin?

Or maybe as a potential Dawnshard holder, or maybe just to act as a Herald sort of figure to the future population of the planet

...do you want to play a seed?

(Those are like, large, mostly autonomous chunks of Virtuosity's power spread across the cosmere.)

Could you give me the seeds’ character sheets, please?

Most of them are yet Unmade, ive only made 8 and 2 are kinda known.

The rest we know where they're going, but not much beyond ideas.

I'll send you a full list in a sec

As their power integrates itself across the world, you sense them growing. Expanding. Each of the twin seeds becomes something new. Like dragons, but not. Wurms.

The first seed, a brilliant magena, lands on the island, drawn by the power of his Purest Story. She grows and grows and grows, feeding on investiture. A great wave of crimson mist obscures the island, and once it clears, a terrifying beast perches on the rock. Thus, Cymail, the Great Crimson Dragon of the West, was born. Her wings blot out the sun when she flies overhead, and the very Stories in one's heart tremble at her roar. 

Yes?

The second seed lands elsewhere, binding himself to a mountain at the eastmost edge of the known world. His wings emerge from the seed, not so large as his sister's, but terrible nonetheless. Cyan fire rings the top of the mountain, a beacon for the desperate, the needy, the power-hungry, and the lost. Come and be changed. Come and be remade. Come and be.... diminished.

Thus, Nienas, the Great Azure Dragon of the East, was born.

In the Alorian system, the Seeds of the Great God of Art are called Wurms. They appear like dragons, the gods of old, yet they, on a base level, are so profoundly different.

There are two sets of Wurms, two sets of Twins, in the Alorian system —one on the Mechanical Planet of the Sun God, Bits, and the other on Uviab, the Land of Stories. 

The Two Wurms on Uviab are as follows:

First comes Cymail; She Who Devours the Sun, the Great Crimson Dragon of the East, Guardian of the Heart of the World. To face her is to face death- to conquer her is to be elevated, to fail will mark the end of your story. She dwells at the center of the world, a place where The Cultivation created a test at the rebirth of this world. Legends speak of Power, a story so pure that it could once again break the world. Many have tried, and many have failed. Cymail has consumed their Tales, and their bodies lie broken upon the shores of that wretched island. Cymail's Magenta form stands at 100 feet tall and is twice that in length, her body fueled by the stories she has devoured. Her wings blot out the sun when she flies overhead, and the very stories in your body tremble at her roar. Those who have Seen her and survived have wept for days on end, for they saw something they can not describe. Cymail has some skill in Storywatching, although her power is neither subtle nor tame. Where some would use Storywatching as a chisel, Cymail uses it as a hammer, ripping souls to shreds. 

Second comes Nienas; He Who Waits At Morning, The Great Azure Dragon of the West, Pactbroker and Soulchanger. He sits upon a horde of power- one rivaled only by his sister, and surpassed only by the great Cultivation. The desperate, the power-hungry, and the lost come to him for a Change. A change to their Stories. Their reasons differ, but their fate is always the same. They get what they desire, but return from his mountain... diminished. Nienas grants any of their heart's desire- Eternal life, Love, or the Ability to conquer kingdoms- for a price. They give up their own stories, to be fed on, regurgitated, and processed. Nienas is extraordinarily skilled in Storywatching, far more so than any mortal, and capable of things those lesser powers would deem impossible.

Here's the ones on Uviab, with cultivation.

The ones on Bit are in a much earlier state. (invention)

Spoiler

TlDR, there are fields of investiture and ley lines on Bit. 
One, the passive (Cyan) Wurm would go around reshaping them in an unfathomably complex pattern, while the active one (Magenta) invents and creates things with the supernova left overs

There's also the two on Scadrial. (Honor and Autonomy)

Spoiler

The seeds in scadrial have aligned themselves to the ideals of the planet; one to Freedom, one to Honor. Each embodies their ideals, and will not compromise-for better or for worse. Each is able to take a human-like form, and has a great amount of Worldweaving powers. 

Ezeriel, the Lord of Air and Breaker of Chains, takes the form of a form of a massive, magenta Hawk. He migrated between the two perpendicularites every equinox, bringing with him a mighty storm of Rain and Mist (Not nearly as strong or Dangerous as a Highstorm). If, on his bianual journey, he sees an injustice against the Ideals of freedom, he will halt and put an end to it. Those in bondage must be freed, or else. When taking human form, he appears as a handsome knight with dark hair and Magenta eyes, speaking with a strange accent. He has command over Air and Water.

Adahki, the Lady of the Earth and Guardian of Oaths, takes the form of giant, cyan serpent. She spends most of her time deep beneath the earth, drinking in the energy of the core. Should one make a true oath within the heat of an open fire, it will turn blue and a serpent's hiss can be heard. Folklore says she'll hunt down those who break these promises. In human form, she's a matron women with dark skin, and predatory Cyan eyes. She has command over Earth and Water.

If you break a flamesworn oath that left you trapped while the storm passes overhead....

Then there's the ones on the yet unkown planets of Sult and ?Vandra? (Sult will exist, Vandra I'm not too sure)
Sult is a desert world with blood-hungry sand, and Vandra is K-pop demon hunters in the Nordic Countries. These are more like Natural phenomena than entities in one spot.
Here are the ideas for the ones on Sult

Spoiler

The Glass: the great Cyan walls of glass that cloak the Cradles and protect from the sand.

The Howling Wind: The creator of the wind that fuels the sand's motion.

And Vandra

Spoiler

The world tree: A great Cyan Tree that conects the realms and fuels the Bard's magic. 
The Burning one: A great Magenta fire that fuels the War-Wraiths and hungers for souls.

For the much worse defined ones:

There are also two being sent to the Iairan system (Ruin and Devotion), one will land on the gas giant, another will make its way below the ice shell of the moon.

Spoiler

One is a big whate that swims between the depths of Iaira Prime and the Gas Giant, the other is like heavy metal themed? Hell raiser?

 And Dhatri, the aether world. We don't know all the aethers so I tried to make up two new ones.

Spoiler

Sand

and Wax

and Finally for the worlds I have no idea about:
Nerakalis (Ambition)
Threnody (Endowment and Preservation)
First of the sun (Mercy)
and 2 unknown worlds (probably your best bet)

one was going to roshar than Dominion killed them.

Sure. You'll be attuned to Ruin and have access to her Arts. Whatever they are. 

@IcedOutPenguin

Any progress or do you need help?

Oh, I have a plan for this. It's very interesting. I'm writing a short story based on the world.

Also (secret plans)

Spoiler

I don't intend to let either of your seeds live for very long...

The seeds will. They're terraformers. They just need a rock

I need to see what magic system Ruin is doing.

If its not heavy metal you'll get worldsinging.

I had an idea that his heavy metal is mainly the Rhythms of Ruin and Devotion.

Maybe even a mix of them both… a Rhythm of Chaos or something.

Maybe Ruin’s magic system revolves around using Shard Rhythms, Pure Tones etc. as a way to conduct Investiture.
