Probably not an assassin.
Let's face it. Exalted is a game with infinite potential for ridiculousness. Hell it's encouraged! And I think we all have that one story. The one where you did something so insane that the GM laughed, or cried, or both. And then you rolled for it. And it worked. So let's hear some crazy stories people! I'll go first.
So right now I'm in an Exalted Fantasy game, we're a sorta kinda circle doing some work for the city of Lookshy. We have a Twilight caste Solar who remembers every single death of every bearer of her exaltation. A Zenith caste professional escort who also happens to be a nymphomaniac, like she took that as a flaw. A Dawn caste who... is... shockingly normal. A hilariously overprotective lunar who is the mate of the nymphomaniac prostitute Exalt (you can see how this would be a problem). And then just as icing on the cake, I play a Midnight Caste Abyssal musician, who can quite literally sing your face off.
Anyway, so we're scouting this town somewhat north of Thorns that the Mask of Winters has decided should belong to him for one reason or another. Thing is this place is being guarded mostly by war ghosts, and most of the labor is provided by zombies. So not a big deal for a circle of exalts. But we decided we'd best scout the place out just to be sure. Of course because we are a terrible party this involved splitting the party three ways. So while our Zenith, Twilight, and Dawn just kinda wandered off somewhere I and the Lunar did... pretty much nothing.
This went on for some time. Particularly since the Dawn's player was being slow that night. Finally my Abyssal was invited into the village tavern to play some tunes for the ghosts. So this continued on and we were rapidly figuring out that our Dawn player was not getting much of anything done. In fact he had probably fallen asleep at his keyboard. So the Zenith player says to me, "Just have your character do something. Anything, I don't care."
If it hadn't been for the fact that it was 2 AM and I was tired as hell this probably wouldn't have happened. But I said, "Alright fine," and started looking up amusing songs that my Midnight might play. And... well what do you play in a village of the dead? The Monster Mash of course! Yeah that's right, I had my Exalt play the Monster Mash on a harp, while tweaking the lyrics to fit the setting a little better. The GM was so amused that he gave me a 3 die stunt and I rolled 7 successes. And... promptly had the entire tavern, ghosts mortals and all dancing to the Monster Mash.
