You know what I find funny? Everyone is writing to the one guy in the group who can’t either read or write. It’s possible Bjarn is getting someone else to read the letter to him. Though that will require a bit of trust. Or not.
I'm definently looking forward to the moment the question get poped to Bjarn.
And in case anyone was wondering, yes, you can pursue romances with any of the NPCs (and with each other if that's your characters persuasion). Granted, we are going to fade to black if we start to get into x rated territory. But you can screw around with anyone you can convince to do so. Naturally that will likely have consequences in of itself.

The ongoing saga of trying to marry Bjarn off is looking increasingly wonderful...

I don't want to prejudice your decision, actually- and the fun part's going to be persuading Bjarn. You'll need to have a think about how to sell things to him (and his taste in women, too, which I definitely mentioned in the prelude...).

Exalted is about the most fetishy game setting I have ever seen. For whatever reasons, the Primordial’s made humans compatible with damn near everything. Or should I say they made everything compatible with themselves?...
On a more serious note, I’ve decided to start a separate thread for the meeting Bjarn and Anoke want to start. This will allow you guys to do your meeting while finishing up the business you have in the first subchapter of Chapter 2-1.
Also please note either here or on that thread if you want to have any NPCs at the meeting. It is possible for you to first have a meeting largely among yourselves, and then with the NPCs, or however you want to handle this.
Also there is a good chance that magnificentmomo will be joining our game here soon.

I would love to! I have heard great things about this game, and can't wait to join the team. I'll be binging on backstories and backlogs and cookin' up some potential characters this weekend. Any requests on possible fields of interest that aren't totally covered? I'll probably find them sifting through the sheets, but it can't hurt to ask.Archivist said:

I just had an absolutely epic idea from having Beelzeboss stuck in my head for the past two days.
The Ebon Dragon's plan has come to near completion. A great tear opens amidst the dark clouds hovering over the Cursed Isle and the terrible leviathan bursts through. With a single triumphant roar, he shatters the Imperial Mountain, causing untold carnage as the largest peak in Creation is sundered. He descends towards the slumbering form of the Elemental Dragon of Earth and looms over its shattered body and prepares to destroy it...
But he doesn't. At the last moment, he pauses and his terrible voice rings out to all corners of the continent as he declares the brilliance of his grand victory and the futility of opposing him. His rant goes on unopposed for some time, as if waiting for someone to dare question him. Eventually, that voice comes from two tiny specks below. Insignificant hairless monkeys that bare the hated marks of the Sun and Moon on their brows. They remind him that the battle is not won yet. He informs them that they're too late and raises a talon to slash the throat of the slumbering beast below. As he is about to destroy the creature, their voices ring out to his ears and challenge him...
To a Rock-Off.
The Shadow Of All Things feels his claw stop in the air, unable to draw it any further. The Ebon Dragon roils and screams his impotent rage at the world as the oaths he swore burn his very being to the core, for, in that moment of failure, he agreed that he could not deny a challenge from one of the Chosen for a Rock-Off. He descends and levels his tremendously large eyes with the creatures below and demands they name their terms. An agreement is made: Should he fail, he shall restore the Blessed Isle to its former state and return to Malfeas. Should he succeed, however, his prize will be the handsome Lunar, who shall become his love-slave for all time.
As the accord is reached, the Dragon's form disperses and condenses into a mighty humanoid form, featureless and black, that oozes darkness. The tendrils of emptiness condense in his arms into a mighty guitarklave formed of shadow and bone, a pick appearing in his hand made from soulsteel. The mighty Yozi proceeds to rock the fuck out, calling forth simulacra of himself as his back-up. The ground trembles and the sky shudders before his mighty riffs and world-cowing chords. As he finishes, the damned roar their approval.
In a moment of weakness, the Lunar feels his heart falter; the Ebon Dragon is truly mighty as a foe. He shivers in fear, his will breaking before such a mighty adversary. However, his Solar mate grabs him, shaking him back to his senses and reminds him that failure will assure him of an eternity of rape by a creature whose penis is measured in yards. Resolve restored, they channel all their past efforts and strum out an amazing jam that causes the heroes of Creation assembled behind them to cheer. Waves of gold and silver essence washes over the newly formed plateau, causing the shadows to disperse and lets their light be seen from as far as Gem (which explodes).
As they finish their counter, all factions cheer, but the Ebon Dragon silences them with a gesture. Declaring himself the victor, he demands the Lunar come with him, hurling black lightning at the Exalt. Their Solar mate dives in front of the beam, their selfless virtue deflecting the beam back on its creator. Unable to halt its course, the Ebon Dragon roars in anger as he is struck and hurled backwards through a portal to Malfeas. As the portal closes, he threatens his revenge but is silenced a moment later.
As the clouds above the isle part, the Sun returns his gaze to Creation and everyone celebrates by having the greatest kegger the world has ever seen.
Thoughts?

Necessary components for that: EPIC HAIR, BEARDS and Performance Charms.
I think Bjarn's taking a speciality in "Fucking Metal".

See that kind of stuff makes me think performance charms should be like Martial arts charms.
Different levels
Something like
Concert (Terrestrial)
Epic (Celestial)
Something Bigger for a specialised Performance.
Different Genres with charm trees that build into an Epic 'Solo' Form style.

So I've put a dent in the the logs and sheets, good stuff.
Current idea for character is a Night caste circus acrobat/clown/assassin/master thief. Orphan from Nexus, picked up by criminal hub circus. Loses them, exalts, and the loss of family affects him deeply. Still rounding out personality-wise: I really want to give him another layer, but I have yet to come up with something. Suggestions welcome, but I am gonna plow through the rest of the logs and write up a sheet; Should be done soon.
Really looking forward to it guys!
Pics for fun:
with white face paint and washable hair dye
without white and hair- only I wouldn't have face marks as tattoos, they will shift with each dress up. Also less inconspicuous clothes when not performing or doing jobs... unless he feels like it.
Edit: thought of the final personality hook. He is incredibly shy, meek, and polite. Unassuming and stammering. But when he performs, he is incredibly boisterous and bawdy. This is actually because (haven't settled on name yet) is a perfect mimic, and his Mentor/Father figure taught him to mimic the way the lecherous old stagehand would talk when he was drunk.

I like the circus acrobat sort of thing. It means he can be meek while still being able to get stuff done; he's used to doing things in front of people.
Also, to answer Sherwood's question about Calypso, she pretty much radiates "Demon" to people as a sort of metaphysical effect. However, I'll leave you with a list as to the hints to her nature that she's provided and let you decide for yourself (since it could be hilarious for Asyk to have guessed wrong).
-She has a large pair of horns.
-She's covered in red tattoos, including the symbol of SWLIHN on her forehead.
-She's burst into a display of green fire in front of everyone.
-She produces no waste of any kind, including sweat, and so hasn't changed her clothes in a long time.
-She's said she's from Malfeas.
She also bears a strong similarity to her mother too, so if anyone knows Stanewald, they'd see a family resemblance instantly.

Well, once I got that layer I mentioned in the edit the character has really clicked in my head and it would be hard to dislodge. Good to know he is starting to get approval!
I really enjoyed Calypso's write-up. It wasn't until I got home and was able to look at the picture that it all came together for me.

Indeed, he does! And thank you for the compliment! There's some differences between the image and Calypso but that's another story...
Also, I have to add that, despite it not getting brought up, Asyk is perfect for helping with the manse construction. Summon the Celestial Servant means he could get us a work force up pretty quickly. Working in concert with other sorcerers, we could get a 5 dot manse built in less than a year if our team devoted their efforts to it.
