Hum. I'm not sure if there can be a Sidereal-Solar bond, though. Solars and Lunars pair up nicely, but there are only 100 Sidereals to go around...
Though that doesn't stop them from having such a trait. Something like True Love merit from 1E, maybe? What says you, Tome?

You don't even need that, just pick each other as intimacies and that's all thats really needed.

Regular Intimacies can be broken. Our characters are supposed to be each others' true love. True Love merit is a possibility. I'm not talking a Solar-Sidereal bond, cause technically it wouldn't have to be romantic (the Solar-Lunar bond doesn't). Just a permanent Intimacy representing that they are true loves as ordained by Heaven is what I'm thinking of.

What you're talking about though mechanically negates a good number of social attacks. Akin to getting two motivations depending on how it's done.
If it's an intimacy and you love each other that much and have high convictions, etc it's hard to break anyhow. Any more than that should be promoted to your motivation instead of an intimacy.
Story-wise it's cool to love each other more than anything else in the world, but all this stuff has social combat mechancal effects.

That's the idea dude. Any Intimacy can be broken down with sufficient effort. However, we're talking about a relationship ordained by Heaven itself. But that's fine, I guess.

Righteous Lion Defense is a permanent charm costing no motes that considers betraying an intimacy to be an unacceptable order. That's pretty much exactly what you're looking for.

True, but apparently you still miss my point. Its fine though, I'll either do that or something of that nature.

wait...wasn't there an IC thread? I could have sworn I saw one.

It was deleted by Tome. I assume he will personally create one when he feels it is time.

I wanted to create a thread to meet IC, it could have been 1 year ago or whatever. But he said it was jumping the gun so I deleted it.

We could post episodes from our characters' past, couldn't we? If anything, it adds to character and provides more potential plot hooks.

What, do you expect me to contribute to the depth of characters and game? Blasphemy. Give me Grand Goremaul so my yandere loli control freak can start killing.
EDIT: Heh. The same Exaltation scene seen through two different lenses clouded with confusion and prejudice could be interesting. The scene as River remembers could be pretty bloody and violent, while Architect's version is more... sane.

Stop replying real time, I like editting my previous post to avoid double posting. :<
But anyways, how does that sound? Could be fun.

Definitely, I actually already had stuff in mind in how I wanted to explain it in his backstory. This would allow me to summarize things a little more in the actual backstory (making it much easier on me in terms of getting this thing posted >.>), and put all that stuff in a different post where I don't have to worry about expunging details.
EDIT: Heh. Maybe communication through PMs would work better? Or AIM or a similar messenger-type program? Something of that nature would also work well for determining the specific factual details of the scene, etc.

Heh, AIM'd be better. But right now, I gotta constraint myself from losing focus, I've got me a short essay to write (which I have been refusing to write for 5 hours)...
I'll sign in when I'm done, given that I finish this within an hour and 20 minutes. o_o

Sounds good. At the moment, I'm trying to put the backstory I have floating about in the inner reaches of my brain for Theran into a suitable format (always an annoying and difficult process for me, at least when trying to get it to come out to way I envision it >.<). I need to head to bed at some point myself, but I will be online for at least an hour or two more.

I am also somewhat confused as to what I can get for my points on the Warstrider. What I'd like to get is some basic shape-shifting from a humanoid form to a flying one that fits in with his totem form, and a nice Diaklave that shifts from a sword in humaoid form to claws in the bird one.
I just got a copy of Wonders of the Lost Age, and in it, the water propulsion add-on is mentioned to be free for nearly all Warstriders in the West. Will it be for ours? And is my Lunar shifty-form thing ok?

I see what you are saying about the Western warstriders; I think you misread. Here's the quote from Wonders:
[QUOTE="Wonders of the Lost Age]In the First Age, it came standard on all warstriders commissioned for the Western theatre.
[/QUOTE]
That statement is referring to the most basic aquatic system, the Naval Combat Mobility System, which allows warstriders to walk on water as if it were solid ground. The statement does not say that the ancillary system is free, merely that it was a standard issue for warstriders in the area. So, no, I do not believe its free.
As for warstrider points, this is what Tome told me in a PM:

As for warstrider points, this is what Tome told me in a PM:
For the shape-shifting, I don't know what Tome is going to do, with the ancillary system for flight the Warstrider undergoes a bit of shifting of its shape, so that could be what you're looking for. As for a Daiklave that turns into claws, I have no clue, you'll have to ask Tome on that one for sure.Tome said:

Well, since its such a simple thing, and would look soooo good with my character, and is really cool, and I'm not below the thought of begging and whimpering like a little girl... :lol:
Seriously, Tome, what do you think? Is it too much, too little, or just right? I need to check the cost for some other weaponry. I don't think I'll be able to afford artifact ones, but even conventional dart and bolt throwers and chain weapons are good to have.

If you take the ancilliary system for flight, I have no objections to you saying there's some shapeshifting going on when you activate it. Hells, if you keep paying the normal cost for shapeshifting you can even have the weapons transform with it.
Also, I think we almost have everyone ready to go. Anathema, start thinking up a reason why you'd be on a ship in the middle of the ocean with the rest of your team (you don't have to be aware of each other though, just be on the same ship by chance). Team Realm, I need you all on the same island and yes, there will be some significant destiny-altering event occuring soon.
