In the Mind of a Green Sun Prince (Exalted/Nasuverse)

Eh. No. That's like the opposite of how exaltation and charm internalization is supposed to work in a story. They're supposed to get the shit that maps best to them in a natural way so that the hit the ground running. It doesn't have to be perfect but it has to exist. If it doesn't shit breaks. Infernal charms are part of a mythos and intelligence. You don't grock the flow you get no mojo.

The exaltation goes to the people it's suited to in nature and the Yozi patronize the MC because the MC resonates with them or they like them.

If he get saddled with a power set that utterly violate who he is he'll break.

Charms are just powers they relfect who mc is and the type of person he wish to become and becomes as resonating with the yozi. If Kiritsugu is not a person who hates to deeply he wants to blast them so hard the only thing that remains is his soul as it screech in agony he flat out does not get that charm, cannot use that charm, and will not develop that charm.

Magi may have a trait of autohynpnosis that makes them more flexible about certain things but if you flat out don't resonate it with it doesn't stick. If he's not a Malfeas type of person and reject everyhting that malfeas is Malfeas will not favor him.

It's right there on the tin. Favors Malfeas, has favor of malfeas. The Castes get set patron that you have to deal with and do not need to take more than the least if anything at all. The one you favor is your personal choice.

I mean I can the Ebon Dragon taking interest in Kiri and trying to drag him down into shadow. But I have trouble seeing where he an Malfeas meet up. Save in misery.

And choice of Unquestionable, in addition to determining which Second Circles welcomes them when they reach Hell, also determine which Yozi the character's Urge comes from, and which Yozi is his favored Yozi, unless that overlaps with his Caste Yozi. In that case you guys may choose from among the Yozis at a later point.
 
I think Kiritsugu would work as a Defiler, if only because it gives him access to SWLiHN's Charms. Malfeas' can be good during combat, but more than anything he needs utility Charms...and having Medicine Caste/Favored would be something useful to heal Ilya.

I don't think anything is stopping us from selecting Medicine as a Favored ability, though Occult may be better suited...not sure.

I don't think theres anything (except higher cost) stopping Kiritsugu from dipping into healing charms of non-caste/favored Yozi? Wholeness Rightly Assumed would presumably help heal anything? And assuming its included, Ink Monkeys also has a Cecelyne extension charm to VEE where you can wish for healing.

Also, if GM is using/accepts homebrews, EarthScorpion has made some cool (if horrific) Malfeas healing charms too.
 
EarthScorpion made Malfeas Healing Charms?!!

In the link landcollector made. Malfeas healing charms work on the principle that only MALFEAS can kill you, which means lesser sicknesses must perish.

Actually, the healing charm is in the infernals book too, but it only works on the GSP itself. EarthScorpion expanded it to work on others.

Revlids Metagaos charmset also have healing charms in it. Flesh-Weaving Tendrils and followups that allow you to basically perform extreme surgery on the spot with your hands (which turn into wriggling tendrils capable of easily merging with flesh)

EDIT: Oh, and heres the link to ink monkey. I believe its charms are pretty good:

Kiritsugu has Compassion 3?!? Well, at least we have a success. Now, let's hope Kiri has no WP left...
 
Working on Kiritsugu's Exalted Char sheet, and I realize I forgot to give him a Stealth score. How the hell did I forget that?

EDIT: And RIDE! He has a liscence, he should be able to drive a car!

One last thing as I make Kiri's sheet:

Kiritsugu only needs to buy his Excellencies once. He'll start with the Malfeas Excellency, and then he'll gain access to other Yozi's Excellencies when he's bought at least 5 charms in that Yozi's Charmset.

Shouldn't you also add the Adorjan Excellency? Just to have more options, and because Kiri will need to be stealthy...which Malfeas is anything but.

Yes. His entire arc is being a super hero and caring about people. Dude is a hardline Comp/Con


And Adjoran and Malfeas sound like the Anti Kiri still. I guess you can barely spec it in no half measure in a fight but subtlety, indirect combat and assasination are the entirety of his MO.

Scalple man.

Doesn't that massively inflate exp costs? Also Murder Wind. Kiri. Well I guess for the murder?

Since we have no real need to balance Excellencies against other Exalts having to buy Excellencies cause we only have one Player Character, You will only need to buy Excellencies once.

See a few posts higher:

[X] "My name is Azzaria, but that no longer matters. I am a messenger, and message in one, here to make you an offer."
-[X] "This world is broken, the Creators trapped in eternal torment as reality withers and rots. Yet even in their tortured state, they retain some influence. Within me burns a spark of their power, a Supermote, an Exaltation."
-[X] "Should you accept it, you shall be granted power and limitless potential for more; in exchange you must restore reality and end the torment of its makers. Things were better once. They could be again. Will relieve me of my burden? "
-[X] "I will give you a few days to think this over, but please choose quickly. This power was not meant for me to hold, and I must find another potential host before I die."
-[X] Once he asks why we'll die, explain how the power is slowly killing us.

"I am Azzaria, though that no longer matters. I am messenger and message in one, here to make an offer."

You see his face harden a little at your mention of offer. "What offer?"

"Power." You say. "This world is broken. It's Creators trapped in torment as reality withers and rots. But even in their state, they hold no small amount of power. Within me is a burning spark of their essence, an Exaltation. It is meant for you."

"Power." He says. "What type of power?"

You shake your head. "I will not know exactly until I give it to you. But I do know that it comes with the potential for boundless growth past what you are now. Eventually, you will equal the greatest of Gods, on even grounds with the Unquestionable lords of my home."

He frowns. "And what's the catch? What price will I pay? My soul? My free will?"

You shake your head. "All my creators ask is that you help free them. They know not how to free themselves, and must turn to ones like you for help."

He closes his eyes, and you can see the gears turning in his head.

You sigh. "I shall give you a few days to think, but please choose quickly. This power was not meant for me to hold, and I must find another potential host before I die."

"Before you die?"

"The Exaltation is meant for humans. A lowly Angylakae like me can only hold onto it, but the power is slowly burning through me. I will die, and it will return to Unquestionable Liger in Malfeas." You speak sadly, as you draw mournful music from the harp strings of the moment.

He closes his eye, and sighs. "I have a daughter. Eight years old. She's in danger. A powerful mage family has her. Will your power, your Exaltation, allow me to save her?"

You smile. "Mortals cannot stand against the might of the Exalted. I believe you will."

"Then I accept." He says.
You grin. The mote of green fire inside you struggles for release, and you let it.

You feel yourself split apart, as you swallow the man in a cocoon of hair and burnished brass.

------|------

Gilgamesh frowns, as he stares at the strange cocoon. In a flash of gold, a mirror appears in his hands, and he draws nearer, using the mirror to look at the object.

"What is it?" Kirei Kotomine walks up to him.

"An anachronism. Something that disappeared with the beginning of the Second Age of Gods. Or something similar. Before my time." Gilgamesh shakes his head. "I don't know much. I believe that it will prove to be very interesting to you, priest."

Kirei smiles. It was still a new expression, but he was sure he could get used to it. He was enjoying himself right now. "Then I'll keep it hidden from the Association and the Church."

Gilgamesh pays him no mind, his eyes tracing over the runes etched on the brass. "Wait five days, and then return to pick up the pieces. By then it will have hatched." He turns, and leaves.

Kotomine watches him go, and then turns to the cocoon.

He smiles again. Yes, he was sure he could get used to smiling.

------|------

You feel yourself returning to consciousness, as the cocoon crumbles around your new host. You mentally stumble, as you notice that you can't hear any music, before your hands begin to move. You play a happy melody.

It's strange being in Kiritsugu's head. Like being in a dark room with only one window. Luckily, you can still make your music, even though you can't hear it outside the room.

Kiritsugu blinks as he notices his naked form. You feel him focus on his shadow, new instincts flaring as it rises up and transforms his appearance into that of a Japanese Businessman.

He rises, and looks around. "She's gone."

Is he looking for you?

"Where is that music coming from?" He mutters.

Oh, he is.
