KreiosAstraiosEosphorus said:You're a Solar - so pretend to be a Fire Aspect. Remember that Golden Janissary Style (a Terrestrial Martial Art that is Fire-Aspected) emulates Solar holy-flame; that in the Fire Aspect book there are hearthstones that enhance the heat of Fire-Aspect & Solar animas; in general, both are easy cross overs.
You're an Eclipse - you can learn fire-aspect charms then.
You're a Solar - in 1st Edition (and maybe Dreams of the First Age, 2nd edition?) there are Survival charms that bring down celestial fire.
You can take various spells - ones that burn the entire substance (so drop it on a floor, it consumes the whole floor), fire-raptors, elemental enhancements, etc. All fire.
You can hunt down Fire-Aspected Hearthstones; there's a lvl 2 that reduces fire damage, and a lvl 3 that completely negates natural fire damage. So bam, you're immune.
If you could emulate a novice Immaculate, if you could somehow get admitted or find a Sifu - learn Fire Dragon Style. There's last charm gives you the fire-anima-power. If not, learn Righteous Devil (for firedust weapons).
Have you picked an anima? Things that are "firey" work. I tend to think Terrestrial ones are more abstract elemental (Floods, hurricanes, whatever). But a Solar with a Dragon for his anima (and it glows all firey) could enhance this.

Gem provides firedust to the Realm. And various Cartels/Families run the businesses in Gem (one for firedust, another for rubies, etc, etc). Go down south and you can emulate a Fire-Aspect even better. Firedust grenades, firedust rifles, etc. It's cheaper to purchase down south, and if your friend works with the Realm then perhaps you're going to lend assistance or something.
Learn Archery.
All together now.
You get hired to start shit for some bad guys?
You set the entire area on fire. You put firedust grenades throughout, then use sorcery or charms to ignite everything and watch the explosions flare.
You have a hearthstone, lvl 3, making you immune to it all.
Walking through the flames with a sword and a gun, you shoot off your enemies.
You use the archery charm that eliminates visibility penalties - so with all the smoke and fire, when everyone else is blind (make sure the ST enforces such penalties!) you're using Solar charms to kill them all. And IF they see anything, your Solar anima can easily pass for fire.
You disappear, leaving only ashes and flames.
Fire Aspects are the easiest for a Solar to emulate. If the anima is a huge issue, I'd ask the ST if I could develop a hearthstone that specifically emulates their anima (atleast as a visual). So if I have a purple & gold swan for a Solar Anima, I wear the hearthstone over my forehead and they see a red & gold fire-swan for an Anima. The hearthstone amulet would cover your caste mark, and no one needs to know what power your hearthstone has. So its real power could be "hide my anima with a fire one" while you tell people "it enhances my archery attacks". Etc.
Quick show of hands here. Who's designed a character who Exalted into something other than Sidereal or Terrestrial on the Blessed Isle and was a member of the Great Houses?Smeggedoff said:Investigation, resources? whatwhat? My character IS a Tepet

Raise your other hand if you thought for a single moment it was original.
