Ooh, this looks good. I've only participated in RP's on one other forum, but I enjoyed it and the format was very similar to this. Just to be clear, this makes certain assumptions about the Cosmere. If you disagree with something I say, please let me know! Also, how much will I have to read to get the gist of the story so far? It doesn't matter that much, I'm just curious.
Full name: Arah Arvish (Real name)
Investiture: Pinnacle ferring.
Nationality of the cosmere: Threnody.
Height: 5'11"
Age: 27
Hair color: Deep black
Eye color: Sea Green
Heroic history: Not heroic per se, but it is certainly a history. She was born on Threnody as a slave silver miner and forger. However horrible it was, she new that she would have to bide her time if she wanted to escape. Eventually, her opportunity came, and she stabbed her slaver with his own knife. Eventually she made her way to the Forest's of Hell, where she made a living for herself in a bar serving as a waitress. Again however, she was only biding her time until better opportunities, and eventually, one came. She caught a Slider using his abilities, and begged him to teach her. Eventually he gave in, and introduced himself as a Scadrian Pinnacle and Slider (explaining relevant Cosmere theory) stuck on Threnody until he can access a perpendicularity. He became her mentor, and many years later they managed to get into Shadesmar. After learning becoming a hemalurgic expert, she spiked out the Pinnacle in her master, although she expected to also be able to get the Slider ability. Her goals are now to become as powerful as possible through any means possible. Right now, that means finding another magic system to receive or spike out of someone.
Personality: Very driven, which is why she can afford to constantly store determination. She is unafraid almost everything. She believes in doing anything to get her way.
What brought your character here?: Seeking an opportunity, no matter what it is.
