I wish I had a good pic to show Asyk in his normal form. The closest I've seen is the drawing in the Scroll of Fallen Races book. I may have to scan it to post up on my sheet.

So, which one of our brave Exalted managed to find our sleeping Dragon King and woke him up, and now has to deal with his off-color jokes as they travel about Creation together?

Perhaps me? Seeing as how I don't have any ties yet either.

I think the Motorbike Eclipse threw out a possibility, too.
I'll let someone else get this one, I'd quite like Bjarn to not know at least a couple of the other characters... :lol:

I found this picture right here. Not sure if it is what you are looking for.
If anyone else wants me to try and hook them up with a picture I can see what I can find.
So both Billy the Brewmaster Lunar and Tender Anoké Jandro the Eclipse Solar from Gethamane. The trio of you could find a way you know each other. Perhaps Jandro freed Asyk from his stasis chamber, and they made their way out of the Gethamane. Likely for the reasons stated in the background Tableface wrote up. They then hooked up with Billy for whatever reason you guys like.

Not a bad picture. Pretty close to the native form for Asyk. Also, I like the idea of hooking up with the others mentioned. It will give me some time to 'be myself' instead of having to masquerade as human all the time.

Here's a few more pics that might suit a pterok:

This is for the three of us, unless Billy and Jandro don't finish their character sheets, then I'm open to suggestions.
Unless our ST wants to make a post showing our various starting 'teams', so we can see what bunch knows each other and have someone from each be able to tie the whole group together without the initial Exalted prick-waving to show how tough they are.

You gotta bet that those damn Pattern Spiders are doing their work to get us all together. :wink:

Two Super Teams- er, Circles- are easier to get together than a load of individuals, of course.
And those hanging with Bjarn are even easier to find on account of twenty grumpy warriors being quite easy to track...

The Pattern Spiders are probably putting in overtime to make this work out. We are starting on the western coast of northern continent for reference.
As pointed out the Exalted that know each other include 1. Billy, Tender, Asyk, 2. Jorik-Radiant Snow Strider, Four Foot, and Bjarn. I think Vidder the Banished was with someone, but I can’t remember off the top of my head. Anyone such as Flickering Glass who doesn’t have a connection should feel free to make them. In fact, I encourage it (you know, with that extra 5 experience and all that goodness).
Unfortunately we haven’t heard anything from Luck about how Billy is coming along, and so I’m a bit worried if he is still with us. I’m not holding out much hope for Isley at the moment considering I have only seen one post from him thus far. I’m pretty sure Axelgear is working on his character, and Tableface said he should have his character up within the next few days.
I like Sherwood’s idea of doing a Chapter 0 of sorts where we get into the initial teams meeting each other. For team 1 we could have them start their meeting in the depths under Gethamane where Tender found Asyk (Billy could always have been looking for special mushrooms or other goods for his brews). Team 2 we could either meet during some incident, talking around a camp fire, or whatever you guys like. With team 2 I could also get to introducing some of the Fangs of the Gale. I just need a confirmation of where you guys would like to do your little get to know each other, and I will work on getting that post up.
Once we have something set up I can post a Chapter 0 where we can roleplay you guys getting to know each other. I think this will really help everyone get a feel for the characters. Also I see no reason why not to hand out experience during Chapter 0.

Sounds good to me, and I've just remembered that the thing I couldn't remember to mention in the Things We'd Like To See thread was some individuals within the Fangs... :lol:
I should point out that I was imagining a range of ages in there (I'm not sure if that was clear in the other stuff I wrote)- a mix of younger warriors around Bjarn's age and grizzled veterans, sort of thing.

I like the idea too. I'm ready to play as soon as you are. 8)

Just to check- would this be the first meeting of various characters (there was already a scenario for Bjarn and Jorik), or just them talking (possibly after some sigificant event)?
If it was up to me (which, of course, it isn't... :lol: ), I'd put it at or shortly after the point when Bjarn has announced his intention to find a permanent home for the Fangs- I think it makes sense to get people's thoughts on that down, and it's important to Bjarn's Motivation.

I was leaning towards having a talk around the camp after everyone had met up. For your group I see no reason why not to place the chapter after you made your announcement. As long as no one else objects.
I was also thinking the Fangs of the Gale would be of a reasonable mix of ages. Do you have an idea about how many years have you and the Fangs of the Gale been roving around? Just so that I have an idea of how long all of you have been together.
The second group I’m thinking I’ll start around another campfire. Sometime after they left (fled from) Gethamane. Perhaps they are camped with some merchants or something. The Exalts could be hiring themselves as guards at the moment as they figure out their next move. Moving to the western portions of the North doesn't sound so bad now does it?
I think I’ll go ahead and try and get that thread up later tonight. If anyone requests any major detailed changed, we can always retcon a little bit.

For the record, a prologue of sitting around ye olde campe fire-e is good for me. Being with a bunch of Nords, we can be telling lies about how awesome we are. Also, if the pattern spiders are having difficulties, we could also be telling stories that aren't lies, like about how we met those random people in that one place, ie dropping ties to the other PCs.

I'm having real trouble getting my character in order. As much as I like Vidder, the character concept just isn't materializing in my head. I'm thinking I'm going to have to drop from this, I'm afraid...

Alright everyone, I got the Prolong chapter up. Feel free to get posting in there. Introduce yourself in your respective group, and get roleplaying. Most of all have fun. If you haven't joined one of the Circle's yet, you are more then welcome to join one of the two we got set up. Just make sure to play nice with your fellow players.
Axelgear: Sorry to hear that. If you do manage to come up with something else, feel free to bring it up.

I haven't jumped ship. I'm just slow with backgrounds, always over thinking things and getting caught up on the details. Though it looks like we're getting going already, so I posted what I've got so far and will continue refining it.

Luck: That’s fine. The Prolong is more getting the characters introduced while we wait for everyone to finish their characters. Get your background done when you can. I’ll read what you got when I get a chance to later, and make some comments. Good to see you are still in this.

Forgive my premature wish to withdraw from this. An old idea has zinged into my head but I need two things before I can throw it out there.
First, my desire to play a Defiler Caste still stands. If people object to this, I don't mind withdrawing the concept.
Second, as Bodhisattva suggested with the Infernal Heroes Project, I'd like to use standard Solar (and Solar equivalent) excellencies as an alternative to the Yozi Excellencies. It'd make things much easier and let me play a unique character, instead of one of the cookie-cutter stereotypes that the game suggests all Infernals should be.
I even have an interesting hook for how they met up with the rest of the group, but this is all contingent on whether these requests are accepted.
