[The End is Nigh] Abstract Thought

Wow. Shit finally hit the fan in Autobot land. Now I must ponder just how badly boned we are as Hammer takes on a Divine Minister.

Looking forward to your post :) !
 
Short-term Riven wants to get some tea and GTFO.


Long-Term involves mastering Violet Bier which also includes getting some artifacts and Essence 4.
 
Short term, lesseee...Mako wants to get the circle out of the creepy tea shop and recruit some crew, Atropos is waiting for her Pattern Spider to come back with information, Elma wants to get the feck out of Dodge Malfeas, and Rose is waiting for chapter two to begin hassling Ash.


Long term, Mako wants to do Piratey things, Atropos wants to murder the shit out of EoE, Elma wants to use the chaos caused by Autobot's return to begin expanding her power base in Creation, ...and Rose wants to hassle Ash (and end slavery, I guess.)
 
Mind if I edit my daiklave's ability? Since I just found out a while back that only up to 3 dice can be added to a specialty at time, I wanted to change my ability from a specialty to adding +essence dice to combat pools when violet bier of sorrows from is active.

Sure.
 
Short-term Ash wants to find out why there's a sinister tea house suddenly materializing in the middle of camp. When she finds out where it's from, she will probably want to squash it. Then she wants to return to the task at hand, getting the squabbling Exalted organized and willing to take direction.


In the long-term, her main passions involve repairing and upgrading her damaged warstrider by installing replacements for all the systems he lost over the centuries; mastering the secrets of magitech and learning the Charms to build powerful artifacts and manses; and Doing Something About Those Damn Zombies. This is part of why she's so willing to accept Sidereal help -- if they work in the Celestial City, they probably have a pipeline to the good stuff, tech-wise.


As a character, her solutions to problems involve equal parts MacGyvering and Training the Peaceful Villagers: she custom-builds new equipment for the situation at hand, and then shows people how to use it. Zombies attacking the village? Give everybody flamethrowers! City flooded by breached dyke? Fix breach, build clockwork-powered pumping stations and teach people how to maintain them in case it happens again. Stranded on deserted island? Invent hot-air balloon!


As a rule, she's always happy to explain how things work, and spread knowledge of magitech among mortals. She's not adept at navigating social currents though, or skilled in making rousing speeches, or sneaky. These are things that other Exalted do, as far as she's concerned. She can come up with practical solutions, but persuading people to accept them is someone else's job.

This city the Sidereals are talking about attracts her (though so would Mako's ship). She'll probably want to go there and "see what she can do to speed things up". Clock punk is her craft signature, the way steam punk is Autocthonia's signature, so expect all kinds of fanciful tools, weapons and structures to start appearing if she has sufficient resources and is allowed to treat the city as her canvas.


Ash will react to the EoE, once discovered, with equal parts horror and fascination. Everything about Autochthon and the Autocthonians will intrigue her, just as the knowledge that the Engine is now the driving force behind the depredations of the undead will enrage her. Her first suggestion will be inventing an explosive device powerful enough to blow up a Neverborn. :D
 
Short term Layoro is going to be interested in gaining strength by protecting his allies and their interests


Long term he wants to assassinate the Engine of Extinction's Fetch Soul


Super-long term he wants to sent up a pan-directional spy network so he can out sidereal the sidereals
 
[QUOTE="Seeker of the End]As long as she doesn't go fan-girling over the alchemicals or try to harass them to see how they work I'm fine with whatever she wants.

[/QUOTE]
I have to admit, the first time Ash sees an Orichalcum Caste, she's probably going to squee a little. :D
 
And then Thunder will get all jealous. Although, I wonder how he will react to Tyris when they meet? I would assume that they knew eachother way back in the First Age.
 
Ash, not going to lie, I have this mental image of Rose trying to help you fix something, with a wrench in her hands, and just being like "Okay, let's repair this giant machine thingy!"


*Pause, looks at wrench in her hand*


"Yeah, I have no idea what this thing does"


*Chucks over her shoulder*
 
It's gonna be like that scene from The Avengers, isn't it? :D


Ash: "OK, tell me what you see!"


Rose: (sarcastic) "It seems to run on electricity gears of some kind."


Ash: "Well...you're not wrong..."
 
I posted for Hammer in the Autocthonian thread, but I'm not sure what I did to make half of the text readable, and the rest of it almost too dark to see. :mad: If you want, I can try a different color for the post.
 
Highlight the darkened area and then click the 'Remove formatting' button in the top left of the edit box, next to the Font Family dropdown. That's fix your problem.

Rose: "You're on the Immaculate Order's threat list? Where are you, above or below angry bees?"

Fixed. Thanks for the heads up on that.
 
I don't think Tyris and Thunder will have any knowledge of each other, considering Tyris is a Helstrider. IIRC, they are built from the raw material of First Circle Demons and animated by a Second Circle one.


Captain Hesperus
 
Tyris is actually a twisted lesser god that was experimented upon by an Essence 10 Twilight fully infected with the Great Curse and completely and utterly insane. He's just equivalent to a Second Circle in strength and his artificial half-demonic nature is what allowed him to be made into a Hellstrider in the first place. That's why Ligier decided to make him into a Hellstrider, because he was DIFFERENT and INTERESTING.
 
Not sure that it matters, much, but the Gentleman wants to figure out WTF is going on, and then figure out a short-term plan. Then a long-term plan. And play with that new black rock and craft something fun* from it.


* "Fun" = killing things real good
 
Well I guess it was a good thing I rolled JB. xD I had to actually look at my sheet... which had black as a basic color throughout its make up. Now I have fixed it and all is right with the world.
 
Man, everybody is expecting Morrigwain to have something big and important to say, when I really just shucked the disguise to get him more involved on the expectation that Hunger would greet him with, y'know, something other than abject hostility :\
