It'll be articulated or superheavy plate. I could live with a few ticks. I just didn't want to spend 12 donning armor.

Glorious Solar Plate really is all Power Ranger, and it's combo-ok so you can pull up all your scene-longs when you use it.
Take a look at the Errata, pg 25, and see if that doesn't do exactly what you want.

4 dots
You need an orichalcum jewel worn on you that becomes or recalls the actual armor, aesthetic effect up to you.
Articulated activates in 1 tick, Superheavy activates in 2 tick, choose one.
Activating costs 5 motes, deactivating takes 6 ticks but costs 1 mote.
If you ranger-up while wearing anything non-MM incompatible with armor, it will be destroyed.

So...do I do normal exalted things with this character, ir do I follow the inspuration for the armor and become an exalted tokusatsu hero?

Nope.
That's reserved for Solars with Invincible Armor Invocation or colour-coded Terrestrials.

Xarvh, any chance Argis got anything out of his charm in scene 11?

Background
Mark was a lumberjack. A lumberjack with a keen sense of honor and no small amount of pride. He knew that when he chose a tree it would fall and when he felled a tree it would find its way to the river and the workshop of a great craftsman and the hall of a great king. He worked diligently at his trade and relished his life. He made a good life for himself and had many children with his wife Jenna.
One day he and his eldest son set out to fell a great tree near a narrow river. They planned out the operation so that the great tree would fall partly in the river. Once they had it trimmed the river would help them move the giant log out of the forest. After laboring for half a day at the mighty tree they were attacked by fae goblins dressed as monkeys in armor. They fought for their lives. He saw his son Martin run through and few into a rage. Though his axe bit fiercly into the goblins and and he drove them before him, there was not victory. A greater fae of some kind riding upon a wolf pulled back his mighty bow and buried a glass arrow in his heart.
Laying on the bank of the river he grasped for his axe which had flown from his hand, trying with every ounce of will to rise and save his son and his family. A great stag appeared in front of him and as he looked in its eyes they fought a battle in their minds. Then the stag in his mind became a woman, terrifying and magnificent in her power and fury. He snapped back to reality as the stag blinked and lowered his head to charge. A moment later and he was the stag charging with his great antlers and shattering wolf and rider upon them. He returned home carrying the body of his son and tried to come to terms with his new self and his loss. Within the week the others came for him. During his training, trials and tattooing he found his calling. He was taught about the work the lunars were doing, but he was not interested in making a society in the shadows. He saw that only together could people of creation survive. He vowed to protect the links between the people of creation and defend them from the evil forces working outside of creation to tear it apart. He became the Knight of the Path.

Definitely Argis, but he doesn't really have any go super fast charms.

How does Malek feel about riding a crocodile down the chicken soupy Nile?

Do I have to acknowledge out loud how cool crocodile surfing sounds ? 
Problem is dearie, we're gonna die. The Legion has her ghosts and just two of us won't cut it... unless I manage to get their attention just like last time and leave you alone with her.
Come here you pantsies, leave the girls to it, that's me you want !

I really wish I would have correctly remembered the way Empowering Justice Redirection works in this post. Maybe wouldn't have made any difference, but still. There are ways to get away from the ghosts and with multiple of us working together we can set up some pretty sick coordinated attacks.
