Magic Eight Ball
Okay. I wasn't sure what to call this or where to put it, so if any staff feels that it belongs elsewhere, go ahead and move it.
So I'm a complete NEWB. I've never had the privilege of ever playing exalted and I only own these books: Exalted1stED, DB1stED, Scavenger Sons, Aspect Book Air, and the 5 Solar Caste Books. I've read them a few times. The rules and character creation are still tricky for me though. I have no dice and haven't tried a dice roller. I would probably need tutelage setting it up right, and then learning to read it properly.
I have a character concept that I can't quite seem to fit all together to make her seem possible. I'm not sure of her caste either. I also have a campaign idea and I'd love some opinions on it. I'm not one for huge twists and enemies above, below, all around, and from within. At least not all at once until me and my character are ready.
Okay so story idea first. Well I love the southeast, but not necessarily how it exists on the map. Whatever works best. I like making up cultures and I like the way people from this part of Creation look and live. I love the variation in environment that the region allows. I imagine incredibly lush jungle, swamps, grassland, rivers, lakes, and I think a few mountains. My inspirations for Exalted besides Exalted would be Naruto, Spriggan, Princess Mononoke, Star Wars, D&D, Blood The Last Vampire, Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust, Escaflowne, countless artists on Deviantart, tons more movies, anime, manga, and books.
I would want to build a new civilization, and build a city. It would be a haven for "barbarians", spirits, god-bloods, friendly DBs, Beastmen, Lunars, and Solars. There would be more than that of course, but I have a hard time categorizing. Now just to get to this fragile situation could take centuries, another few to make it the Las Vegas or Amsterdam of Creation.
Greatforks mixed with Nexus I guess. I'd be happy to play situated near those cities as well. I just made that city because it would be the start of a new order and a project to create a larger number of powerful allies. Breeding incredible creatures, encouraging everyone to have children with the person or people that will result in the most highly evolved offspring. The culture would be a complete mixture of all the inhabitants. Building it around a Manse would of course be ideal.
Some sketches of mine. They are not originally for exalted, but I think they could help set a mood. So this would be the diversity of the place. The pictures are huge because I didn't feel like resizing them or rotating them. I don't have photoshop anyways. Yes I drew those, I have the originals. Picture them as the different beings in Exalted.
My character concept is a little hard to describe in words. Here are some words that come to my mind when I picture her and appealing possibilities: sex slave, tribal hunter, ninja like assassin, demon summoner, spirit collaborator, weapon maker, sorceress. I'm not sure on caste, but I'm sure that Zenith is a no. Here are pictures that may give a feel. I hope the nakedness won't offend too many people. I'm pretty adamant on eventually making the giant shuriken work somehow.
I guess I could drop the shuriken if it is too complicated for me. I just have these images or a whirlwind of those things being launched at an enemy and tearing it to pieces. The twins is a failed costume design. It would work on Abyssals, but not for this concept. They are basically my girl's apprentices/slaves. I'd want them to be at least god-blooded.
So if anyone could help me flesh out this character I'd be really happy. I'd be satisfied with doing it just to practice character creation. The setting thing. If any story tellers find it interesting and are willing to work with me I'd love to play that game. It would have to be play by post and not a rush to post kind of deal. I have a friend who has been playing an L5R game like that for 2 years now. Too bad he doesn't know Exalted.
Oh. My favorite artists in the books for Exalted inspiration would be: MelUran, Mooncalfe, Kiyo, PaleLonginus, Sam Liu. Some of those are Deviantart usernames.
