Game Crunch


Everyone will be Established Exalts from DotFA, as either a Solar or Lunar.


The Established Solar begins with 9/7/6 Attributes, 45 dots of Abilities after Training Abilities, 20 dots of


Backgrounds, 35 Charms, five dots of Virtues, Essence of 4 and 35 bonus points.


The Established Lunar begins with 11/9/8 Attributes plus two dots to spend in Caste or Favored Attributes, 38 dots of Abilities after Training Abilities, 15 dots of Backgrounds, 30 Charms and/or shapeshifting Knacks, five dots of Virtues, Essence of 4 and 35 bonus points.


Backgrounds are going to be tricky. You can only get points in stuff that will have survived the 1500 year downtime of your suspended animation, so no Backing, Contacts, or other items like that. I have already cut the number of background points down to represent that, but I will still nix anything that I feel won't work for the game.


Absolutely no Flaws. You are First Age Exalts of Essence 5-7! What Flaws would you have? Merits will be evaluated on a case by case basis.


A house rule that I use regarding Sorcery/Necromancy is that you get a free spell of the particular level with the purchase of the Charm.


The upper end of your ages should be the 200-250 year range as Exalts.


Experience costs will be base on the Solar standard, with the cost of Caste specific stuff (Knacks and Colleges) being pulled from their respective books.

  • Name: Zen-Aku; Endless Blades of the Sun


    Caste: Dawn


    Motivation: To ensure the birth of a new, uncorrupted, Solar Deliberative


    Age: 254, but appears to be in mid 20's to early 30's


    Intimacies: Allies (Cautious Trust), Isli (Friendship/Affection), Sol (Cynical Distrust), Slavery (Absolute Hatred), Desus (Absolute Hatred, Disgust), Lilith (Regret, Friendship), Ahlat (Comradeship)


    Anima Banner: Three pairs of ethereal wings composed of swords


    Appearance:

    ur233_gideon.jpg
    Personality: Zen was never fond of displaying his emotions and extremely restrained and disciplined even outside of the battlefield. His rage is a cold thing, and he is merciless on the battlefield. But he has a natural charisma that inspires men to battle, and a hidden but unshakable loyalty to those he calls his allies. His will is unshakable and although he does not seek to rule nations like his peers do, he is more than willing to teach and to instill skill and discipline in others around him. His trust is hard to earn, but his loyalty is second to none.


    Languages: Old Realm, High Holy Speech, Riverspeak, Sea Tongue

Araneus, The Obsidian Spider of Yu-Shan


Chosen of Endings


Motivation: To ensure the continued existence of creation through population control


Age: 450 (Appears approximately 25)


Intimacies: Gold Faction (Sympathetic) - Chejop Kejak (Intense dislike) - While The Ax Falls (Awe)


Anima Banner: A wave of violet and black energy splays out from his back in the form of large spider legs that appear to come from his back.


Appearance: Araneus is a tall, lanky fellow whose features would almost appear to be that of a young, skinny, and utterly weak man. His hair is jet black, and hangs in thick straightness to his shoulders, often covering his face unless it's pushed out of his eyes. When that happens, however, if you're in the know, you would realize that his features are a lie. His eyes are almost perfectly violet in color, with flecks of color spread throughout them. His grin is almost creepy, almost always a perfect white smirk.


His chest is covered in a tight, sleeveless black shirt, that presses against him almost as a second skin, and a large spider tattoo covers his upper right arm, a very dark violet arcane symbol on the body. The only other feature of note is a scarf that wraps around his neck and seems to swirl around him as he moves. It almost appears to be made of pure obsidian, and when activated, it grows into a large cloak that both obscures him from sight and protects him.

Characters are looking good so far. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone in action.
 
Looks good, though I'd recommend filling out arsenal and panoply just to buff up those defenses a little. Behind the lines twilight is an awesome idea, but you still wanna make sure you can take a hit or two.
 
Between the shaping defense, social defense, extended to action long perfect dodge, surprise negation, and AoE dodge I don't think there is much space left in the build for further paranoia personally.
 
Everyone looks good. Feel free to post in the IC thread.
 
Nah it's still good, I looked at the errata, I just missed the Throne Shadows tag above those three >.< I might have been drunk lol.
 
I really like it personally. It's definitely geared for the people who like the manipulative Sidereal in the shadows theme.
 
Go for those whacky shenanigan charms you were talking about earlier? Unless you really want to replace them with more combat charms, maybe more SMA?
 
Thank you. I do try to put together a good game.
 



  • Name: Nikola Trotsky

    Motivation: To build equality through the mass evolution of all creatures into superior beings.


    Anima Banner: A red flag rises up behind him, bearing on it the golden symbol of a crossed hammer and scalpel as the multitudinous voices of his evolved people shout a battle cry in unison.

We have a lot of people with Sagacious reading of intent so I don't think you'll need it. And yay! we have a solar craftsman. The valor 1 is disconcerting though...
