I will admit, his personality is stock- but thats what happens when  you have to make up your first Exalted character on the fly. All the background ideas were formed later, and I've unfortunately only played him in about 5 short sessions, so I really haven't had the time for him to grow into a...
Jakou grew up as the youngest son of the Actassi trading family, a prominent trading company in the Wavecrest Archipelago. The family weidls considerable economic and political power.
Jakou was a competent sailor by age 3, and was piloting his own ships by age 10. At 15, Jakou took on  most...
Even in places where  the Immaculate Philosophy holds no sway at all, such as Whitewall or The Haslanti League, you generally don't want to come knocking on the door with "Hi, I'm a Solar" business cards. The idea of Anathema is still a powerful one, and even if they don't want to automatically...
If you are playing a mechanic type character, you'll also very  likely want to take the craft charms. Not only do they let you fix things, but some let you do nifty things like climb up walls with no problem, because you make your own hand holds as you go.
Besides, if you really want someone to travel  fast, Yu Shan isn't neccesarily the way to go. You can't use speed charms in there...  or really do much of anything without getting celestial audit.
I say just let them find a groovy artifact ship that goes friggin fast.
Ok, I don't have a copy of the Exalted Players Guide, so I have no idea what  how Exalted power combat works, which is really annoying when everybook references it. Mainly I have one question and that is: What are the Perfects? By that I mean, what is a perfect defense, attack, or dodge...
I'm throwing in my vote for the Abyssals. The Dragonblooded could be heroes if they could get their act together, the Siderals, while cool, are just way to mired in beauracracy for me, and the Lunars lack of versatility and deisre to destroy civilization really only make them useful to me as...
On the subject of Demons....
I always like the idea that Demon happened first, then Exalted, and then as that whole entropic effect of God's hand striking the world kicked in, everything slowly lessened till we got to modern day WOD.
Cause lets face it, after thousands of years, peoples...
I was reading some whining on RPG. net about the Abyssals, and how most people don't seem to like the fact that deathknights are  the servants of Oblivion and want to end all Creation.
It sort of seemed to be along the lines of " Abyssal powers are cool, but I want mine to wear pink and give...
I think the similarities have always been pretty interesting. Hell, the back of the Hunter book has that little fiction blurb that pretty much connects it to Exalted. You know the one, right before the advertisment for Exalted. Â
Throw Demon into the midst of it all and it gets very...
