A Beginning, because Everything Needs One

[Hemalurgic Headshot he/him]

Hey, so I'm new.

A few things on the agenda (imagine a strip of paper long enough to write down every digit of pi), so let's start out with the basics.

1. How do I get fancy rank things? For example, I am a spren.

2. How do I get one of those quote things that appear at the bottom of my posts?

3. Hello world.

With that out of the way, I would like to say that I have read all of Brandon's Cosmere literature available EXCEPT for White Sand. (I got Arcanum Unbounded for Christmas, so that has checked off a lot of Cosmere goodies) Don't be afraid to blast me with theories or spoilers, because I WILL EAT THEM FOR BREAKFAST. I love 'em with OJ and toast.

Hello, H_H! I'm bleeder. Welcome to the Shard. Don't eat the cookies.

To address your questions in order:

1. Ranks are acquired through upvotes on your post. You cannot upvote yourself, but if you culminate enough upvotes, you gradually level up.

2. For the signatures, go to the dropdown menu in the upper left corner of your screen and go to "account settings". In it you'll see a section labeled "Signature". Click on that and edit it as you please. I have illustrated the process for you below in the spoiler.

Hello Hemalugic_Headshot! Welcome to the Shard!

Don't eat the cookies. They're high in iron, and they'll Ruin your life!*

What's your favorite Cosmere story so far? 

Let me know if you need anything!

 

*I've been waiting forever to use that joke

I do believe that we will get along just swell, @Hemalurgic_Headshot.

I love Scadrial. The metallic arts are some of my favorite Investitures.

However, I am thoroughly enjoying and fervently anticipating the Stormlight Archive. Oathbringer in just ten more months!

Some advice I like to give newbies; if you want to know more about the Cosmere check out Theoryland. It contains almost all of the information Brandon has given us on his books and the Cosmere.
