[The End is Nigh] Abstract Thought

True enough, Thief, but with the system at least you have stats to give you an idea of a character's capabilities. Plus, you can't really argue with how the dice fall.

I think doing a little OOCly agreement goes a loooong way. (...)
Granted given the fairly important plotline going on here players might not be able to afford a silly arrangement like that, but I still thinking reaching some type of agreement OOCly will make any PvP events much more enjoyable. :/

This is very important, and a crucial part for anyone involved or trying to begin any kind of IC character conflict with another player.

Assuming she's not frenzying or you aren't protecting Lintha or Siakal or their cults, Hunger's fine with letting people go. It's when she's acting on her motivation that all bets are off.

Keep in mind that not all conflicts resort to physical combat, when you have a very powerful socialite that could make your character change it's mind about something under the proper use of rules and mechanics, you need to give a fair warning of your intentions and the possible outcomes of such actions, having your character played out by someone else is not exactly fun for most people.


Hell, my own character is a manipulative, scheming bitch, and she will try to manipulate most characters she meets, but I'll make sure to have a little OOC chat with those players on what's about to happen so we all can have fun playing.
 
Oh, I know it isn't. My default caste for meatspace Exalted (back when that was a thing that happened) was Eclipse. I just rarely play them online because people got really upset every time I tried to actually do anything.

Not really planning anything here, but is playing an apostate alchemical allowed?
Granted that wouldn't really fit with the alchemical group...maybe abyssals @_@

No. The abyssals who we have are not working with the train, no group is allowed to work with the train.

Wizard, Wlf, how likely is it that the different groups cross paths?
On that note, how do people feel about PvP? 'cause some of us have mutually exclusive goals from the others.

People will be crossing every so often, all exalted will have a reason or another to get along, even if they are evil soul eatting abyssals :D !

I used to play another RPG game (with actual roleplaying but not permadeath). And I died a lot. Few of them were epic deaths. Many were embarrassing. But I had a ton of fun. I'm pretty good at keeping OOC and IC apart now, even if I play an emotional character.


I'm fine with PvP as long as there's some heads up and all parties are okay. (Also Starling has Manipulation and Performance. <_<;; I would definitely ask for permission before compelling player characters.)
 
Chiming in on the pvp/mental manipulation aspects:


I'm fine with pvp combat, as long as it's agreed on and there's no hard feelings out of game. I don't even mind it if it's lethal, as long as that makes sense for the characters involved.


A bit edgier on mental manipulations. Ananthas is definitely going to take the charm that makes him immune to direct orders, so being manipulative or offering him something he wants will be pretty much the only way to get him to do things. If he realizes he's being manipulated, then he's not likely to take it well, since he's frankly a bit sensitive about being made a fool or taken advantage of from his mortal life. Not saying there's an absolute ban on it, just... be don't be surprised at what results.

No sweat there, though don't be surprised if resisting Hunger's attempts to be generous and parley proves almost as deadly as resisting her in physical combat, if so.
 
Generosity and parley is one thing... when I said manipulation, I meant more like the Ebon Dragon's MO. He has no problem with a straight-up trade, as long as you're dealing honestly. It's lies and honeyed words while laughing behind his back (or planning to knife it) that get him mad. I have a feeling he and Hunger will get along quite well.
 
Well to be fair, someone skilled at manipulation would be able to misdirect everyone about his/her motives without anyone being none the wiser, and if that person is a millennia old titan/god, I would say that every time you killed those infidels that spat on your religion/beliefs or perhaps killed your best friend, or whatever thing they did that merit death, you did it thinking it was your own idea and for your own reasons, while the Ebon Dragon smiles in the shadows orchestrating the next target. Funny thing, you have never even seen the Ebon Dragon in person.
 
If a hellstrider is alive, won't it heal on its own?
 
... Should I just make a defiler instead of a scourge?


Edit: Never mind, I'll just favor craft and medicine. Now, where should I pull that one dot from?

I rather doubt that. He's a would-be-authority figure. He's also, to her usual classification of such, a bit of an over-thinking egghead. She's a pirate, complete with the overdeveloped sense of personal independence. She also really hates what demons she's familiar with.

Oh god, memories of waking up way too early to watch a crappy sonic the hedgehog cartoon are coming back in full force
 
SonicX was even worse... Oh dear god it was SO much worse. The concept was nice but I absolutely hated Chris Thorndyke with a passion.
 
Sonic X was decent, and had some epic moments, but you're right that it had too much focus on Chris.
 
That is pretty nifty. And I don't think anyone grabbed an Infernal Key either >__>


I'd say pick a custom one if you'd prefer it, but that teleporting sounds useful.
