Howlin' at the moon (OOC thread) [Lunar Fury]

[Sherwood]

I've Pm'd Rennesance Blonde an 'ok' to join.


And to answer Braydz's question, I have a couple of plot ideas to lay out and see which one everyone nibbles on.

 

[cyl]

Finally, I can post!
I am submitting Tanitctuatl, a Tyrant Lizard Full Moon from the Southeastern Tribes. Oh, and soon he will be working his way along the Tiger Style MA, so gorefest is an understatement D:

So I guess you'll be the subtle one heh ?! :roll:

 

[Entaris]

Subtle isn't his thing in battle...this is the guy I have in a Northern Story wherein he is part of the Haslanti Wind Fleet. Center Mastery FTW!!


Besides, hiding is easier when EVERYONE is looking at the raging, 11 foot tall lizardman thrashing everyone within reach.


Now, this is the part where someone tells me how to get my PDF char sheet to attach or generally work on here >.< I'm not typin it all...

 

[cyl]

Every one looking at the raging equals everyone aiming at the raging... be sure it is what you want before using a style that doesn't allow armor... :wink:

 

[Entaris]

-shrug- anyway, i still need to figure out how to get him onto this page...

 

[Braydz]

Hey, we all low-tech our characters in. There's nothin' wrong with typing.

 

[Sherwood]

You can suffer like the rest of us 8)

 

[Gryffon]

So, I'm crazy enough to want to submit a Jadeborn.


Anyone potentially interested in having had a dealings with the Jadeborn enough to have a rogue skylover travelling with them? :wink:

 

[Entaris]

-sigh- Alright, fine...but if the limit for Attachments were only .8 Mb higher, I could have just put the PDF on here...


WTF is a jadeborn and if you can find a way to meet Tanitctuatl between the Jungles and where we are now, sure.


OH! IDEA! Could I just Zip the PDF? That should compress it to under 2Mb

 

[Gryffon]

-sigh- Alright, fine...but if the limit for Attachments were only .8 Mb higher, I could have just put the PDF on here...

Yeah, but it's much harder to edit the PDF.

Jadeborn are...well, suffice to say, they're Raksha who got caught at the center of the explosion when the Primordials sat down and measured out the bounds of Creation. They're as stable as the Fair Folk are chaotic.


They're also oligarchical magitech dwarves.

 

[Entaris]

It's not harder to edit THIS one...

Has noone heard of this site?


And if that's the case, Gryff, then sure, Tanitctuatl can know you. Bonus points if you offer to drop him from a great height as a battle strategy.


And I beat the system! Just had to move the inserted data to the Clipboard then to a Word Doc!

 

[Renaissance Blonde]

Hello!


I am contemplating a Zenith (if we're dealing with creatures of darkness) who practices Dreaming Pearl Courtesan (and maybe the non-canon Gracious Hostess) Style - one of *the* nastiest and underestimated styles out there.


Would that fit in? I'm considering somebody from the Realm...

 

[Entaris]

Apparently we aren't allowed to actually attach anything meaningful, as Doc, docx, Txt all are forbidden tags for attachement.


As such, I copy-pasted from the Word doc. Char submitted.

As the player of a Twilight, I hope you're playing an Artisan or Worker. I can smell the sweet, delicious artifacts already.

 

[Entaris]

If any of you can manage to produce Ardent Embrace Resin in quantity, you will have the gratitude of a large, beastly man.

 

[Braydz]

So we've got a tyrant-lizard Full Moon gore-fiend, a Zenith monster-hunter DPC stylist, a Night/Day, a Jadeborn and a Twilight sorcerer.


Clearly we need another Lunar. I'm thinking either a lion-totem Changing (Waxing) Moon or an elk-totem Full Moon. The lion-totem would be a righteous war-leader against the Darkness (Charisma Charms are the win), and the elk-totem would be a Warden of Gaia so devoted to protecting Creation that he's had moonsilver smashfists tattooed onto his hands. Oh, or I could play a monkey-totem Celestial Monkey stylist based on Hanuman from Hindu mythology; Full Moon Sun King Seneschal.


Regadrless of which character I play, would any of the Solars want a 'special friend'?

 

[Entaris]

He's not a goe-feind...


He just enjoys the thrill of battle, finds anguished cries of falen enemies to be musical and...eats their flesh to become stronger...damn, ok, maybe he IS a gore-fiend >.<

Perhaps I. My character will have had some interactions with the Silver Pact, and he knows from speaking with Seneschals that he has a Lunar bonded to him somewhere out there who he's yet to meet.

 

[cyl]

Well if we need one more lunar I can turn my concept into a rebellous Full / Changing Moon... maybe someone who doesn't assume his shapechanging gifts as a chosen of luna and who remains in human form (that would be a total waste, but could be fun !).

 

[saganite]

A non-Shapeshifting Lunar is an interesting concept indeed... Not a total waste either; if anything you have more XP to spend on Charms because you most likely aren't picking up any Knacks. >_>


We have another player too (at least I thought there were 7...), so things may be all right.

 

[Entaris]

mostly a waste, though.


also, I just recalled from Directions: Underworld that Tanitctuatl's victims all become his servants in the Afterlife! Maybe we can work that in somehow...

 

[cyl]

First you'd have to turn into a ghost for it to have any use, that would obviously mean your pc being dead... :roll:

 

[Braydz]

fhgwdads05, if I play your character's Lunar Mate I would either want them to be a foil to your character or to be in line with them. 'In line with' would mean a No Moon of some kind which I could do (heron-totem), but of the characters given which one might be the best foil to yours?


The lion-totem would be strong and courageous and an inspiring leader, but would have some kind of secret and/or tragic flaw. He thinks with his head and enacts with his heart/personality.


The elk-totem would be steadfast, dutiful, a bit stubborn, and utterly implacable once he's set his mind to something. He thinks with his heart and enacts with his fists (when necessary).


The monkey-totem would embody loyalty and service, but would be tricksy-clever and have a wild streak. He thinks with his groin (which is usually right, oddly enough) and enacts with whatever's handy.


Hey Sherwood, are we still using the 'Lunar Fury template' for Lunars? They get a few extra points and Charms from what's in the MoEP:L.

 

[Braydz]

Or you could be a Lunar with an entourage of ghosts. I had a Solar in my table-top game that had a ghost following him around. It was fun.

Surprisingly enough, all of those are somewhat foils for my character. Keene is supposed to be incredibly self-confident and in control. In a lot of ways, he could have been a potential candidate for a Sidereal Exaltation - he's obsessive about his goals, but he's wise in his ways and always goes in with a plan. He never says more than necessary. Since ascending to the Terrestrial Circle, he's begun to act less and less by his heart and more calculating and logically. At the same time, he's a bit of a trickster of his own; he possesses great cunning and guile.


The Lion totem is a possibility. Though he helped lead his people's revolt against their Fair Folk terrorizer (also his grandfather... more on that later ), he leads only when it serves him to do so, and he'll gladly step aside if someone thinks they're more apt for it. Keene doesn't really have a tragic flaw that I can think of at the moment (but there may be something similar, the backstory isn't totally written out yet so I can't say for sure). Your Lunar would differ where he acts on his emotions, but he and Keene would match up where they plan things.


The Elk totem would be an interesting foil because Keene doesn't embody loyalty or service. He does what he thinks he needs to accomplish what he wishes. He's rather self-centered, when you look at things directly, but he does intend his actions to serve a greater purpose (whatever he deems that to be). He also doesn't follow his heart as your Lunar would. At the same time, the Elk totem is similar in that both he and Keene are implacable once set in their ways.


Keene is perhaps a little more flexible - but only when he sees it necessary, not when he's told otherwise (unless that person is really damn convincing).


The Monkey totem is perhaps the most different, but only by a small stretch. Keene doesn't think with his groin at all - in fact, I've been thinking about what sacrifices he might make for the Sapphire and Solar Circles, and for the latter I've considering having it be love entirely. It's the same as the other two concepts for duty/loyalty. Keene and your Lunar would match up with the sneaky/manipulative aspect though.


The Heron totem may have some conflicting features as well, but I can't say as you haven't mentioned it . It's really your call, though. I personally think we should avoid duplications of Castes given we have so many available Exalt types, so I'd avoid Full Moon concepts if it were up to me. But that's your call to make, and certainly having duplicates isn't that bad. I just don't prefer it.
