Well, I'll try keep this short regardless. I am a Mistborn, a person with metal based powers. Each metal gives me a different ability. I am also half skaa, meaning, I spent the majority of my life avoiding execution. Half-breeds are quite illegal. Should a noble man take up with a skaa woman, by law, he is to kill her after to ensure no half breed children can be conceived.
My mother was more resourceful than most and hid her skaa heritage. Until our father found out and had her killed. My bother and I managed to escape and took to a life of crime. This was before I came into my powers.
My powers manifested after I was sent to the Pits of Hathsin as punishment for trying to rob the Lord Ruler himself. [He holds up a scarred arm so she can see.] No one survived the Pits until I did.
After my escape and discovery of my powers I felt the most sensible thing was to overthrow the Lord Ruler and change the world. You can guess the rest, I imagine.
