Dice Exalted Essence - To Kill A Primordial - OOC Thread

[Random Word]

Ok just an update, I finally have a character concept and backstory ready for my Lunar, I am in the difficult process of choosing Charms...its challenging deciding between the Ability based charms and the shapechanging charms and only having 13 options. They will be a Changing Moon Caste and have a focus in face type abilities (performance and presence) as well as an unexpected brutal close combat abilities with their shapechanging. Their name in the present will be Adame, a feminine Hebrew name meaning "Bloody Red". I am thinking their spirit form will be some sort of Raven at this point given their Caste.

I am trying to take the approach of avoiding any artifacts...and looking at Merits for Influence, Contacts, and Resources.

Still working through it, life has been very busy and I am struggling to maintain on all the RPs I am in presently. Now I am just trying to figure out which charms will work the best.

Exciting We can do infiltration shenanigans together. Do be careful with Influence, Contacts, and Resources - try to pick ones that might be able to provide value even when we transition from Creation to Autochthonia. Although Psychie might let you refund Creation-bound merits and re-allocate them when we make the switch.

BTW guys, I just saw an interest thread from Arynne looking for an Exalted game. I don't know if she's got access to Exalted Essence or not, but if she does, would anyone have a problem with another player joining in?

 

[Sherwood]

I have no objection to that, especially since Arynne is a good player. Assuming she wants to sign up for this game, of course.

No problems here.

Sure the more the merrier

That is a valid point. Maybe I should lean towards different Merits then and maybe towards a different character focus, more of an investigator or explorer.

After a slight misunderstanding has been resolved, Crocodile is looking at getting back into this version of the game with us.

 

[Sherwood]

Oh, that's cool.

 

[Crocodile]

Toying with reworking the Merchant of Death or exploring something else.

I really liked your Merchant of Death concept, they would fit well with this party.

Welcome back.

 

[Crocodile]

Retooling Merchant some. Embassy 5 is happening but debating where to position Craft, Integrity and Sagacity.

 

[Crocodile]

Alright, Merchant 2.0 is posted and ongoing but he's mostly there.

Hope you don't mind the retooling of the Thousand Eyes item into his soulsteel cane. Its going to feed into two of his Shaping Rituals for Sorcery and Necromancy. Psychie

I'll take a look and let you know.

 

[Psychie]

Crocodile If you are ready, I can go ahead and bring you into the IC thread.

Sure, I'll just get the shaping rituals in and try to get a post going.

 

[jaydude]

Yo.

 

[Psychie]

I was going to post for Crocodile, but Random Word beat me to it.

Oops Martyr just wanted to give the Merchant of Death a warm welcome home

 

[Sherwood]

Random Word I just want to make sure I am correct in saying that you are copying a solar exalt anima?

 

[Random Word]

Yup! I figured it was fine to make an Abyssal mode for Flawlessly Impenetrable Disguise to mimic the old Solar Impersonation Style:

Flawlessly Impenetrable Disguise
Prerequisite: Stealth 3
The Exalt clothes herself in another’s garb or employs trickery to pass as someone she is not.
Commit 1 mote when assembling a disguise. If this disguise is general (a servant, a trader, a soldier, etc.) it remains impenetrable to mortal senses for as long as the mote remains committed. Resist magical senses with Attribute + Stealth. If the disguise is of a specific person, significant characters may attempt to discover the ruse, resisted by the Exalt’s Attribute + Stealth.

Face-Drinking Bite (Abyssal)
An Abyssal may drink the blood of a target with a bite or share a kiss to steal their form. The Abyssal can take this form at any time as if donning a disguise.

Solar Impersonation Style (Personal)
An Abyssal may commit 2 motes. She appears in all ways to be a Solar Exalt, the mirror of her Caste, including in her anima, caste mark, and the perceptible elements of her Charms and panoply.

So currently Martyr looks in all respects like a Zenith. Her game is to find out if the Merchant suborns her by pretending to help her, which is good practice for the upcoming assignment, or merely talks her into surrendering, in which case perhaps she learns a thing or two about inspiring hopelessness. If the Voice steps in too quickly and just clubs her over the head, that works fine for the scene too (Though the Voice would have to overcome the Martyr's aura of supernatural terror to act against her). It's not what the Martyr wants, but as a player I don't want to derail the story for more than a small handful of posts, so a swift end has to come no matter what so we can get on with the mission.

 

[Sherwood]

I hope my IC post is good, then.

 

[jaydude]

Are we running the fake rescue now? I though that was going to happen after the Prince, the Martyr and the Voice met up with the Merchant. At the moment it seems like both those things are happening simultaneously.

 

[Random Word]

Oh, sorry for any confusion . They're definitely not happening simultaneously. The Martyr is playing a silly game, and the slaves she 'liberated' aren't going anywhere if they don't end up dead in the process of her game. They were just regular ordinary slaves, not the captured prisoners being escorted by the Toymaker's Abyssal. We'll get to the real fake rescue shortly.

In that case, if I don't post, just assume the Prince is sitting down somewhere nearby and observing the antics.
