Now that we've confirmed that there's going to be some Dragon-Blooded in play, I'm going to roll for their best stats, worst stats and origins here. Think of this as a master post for all of the rolls. All rolls are in Aspect order (Air, Earth, Fire, Water and Wood).
First, we have origin. Typically, there's a 2/3 chance of any DB from the realm, but due to the distance involved (and because I want simpler maths) it's going to be 1/2. 1s are Realm, 2s are Outcaste/Elsewhere:
Result (Fire is Outcaste, others are Realm-born)
Next is Best Stat. Each Aspect has two Stats they're well suited to, plus Combat because DB + Exalted. So, I'll be doing d3s for these.
Result: Air is Intrigue, Earth is Martial, Fire is Martial, Water is Stewardship, Wood is Combat. A rather combative party this one. For Wood, I'll roll to see if they are a Martial Artist, 1 is no, 2 is yes.
Further Result: Yes, they are. A Realm-born Martial Artist... Underneath a Solar... That doesn't bode well to me.
Finally, Worst Stat. While generally speaking any player character could be awful at fighting, in-universe most DBs get at least a basic education on how to fight, and I'm sure our Outcaste will have picked up some pointers there. So, I'll be rolling d5 for each, excluding their best stat and Combat for each. For Wood, I'm exempting Piety to better balance it out and because a potential Immaculate should be very pious.
Result: Air is bad at Martial, Earth and Fire at Diplomacy, Water at Learning and Wood at Intrigue. At least the potential-Immaculate isn't likely to assassinate you.
EDIT (5/26/24):
Here's some more information:
Next, since most of our Dragon-Blooded are from the Realm, is finding out whether they are Dynasts, Cadet Houses/Patricians or Realm Outcastes. I'll be rolling d15 for each of these four to mirror the Realm's DB population, with 1-10 being Dynasts, 11-14 being Outcastes, and 15 being Patricians. Let's see how it goes!
Result: Air and Water are both Dynasts, Earth Aspect is an Outcaste (likely being from the Military) and our potential Immaculate is actually a Patrician, surprisingly enough. I was about to say they might actually be Iselsi, but with their Intrigue stat, I don't think that's possible.
Now, our Dynasts will roll for their Houses. The Result: Our Water Aspect is from House V'neef, and our Air Aspect is from House Peleps, an...
interesting duo considering those Houses' history. At least they're probably both experienced with sailing.
So, of our Dragon-Blooded, we have:
A sneaky member of House Peleps, an Air Aspect used to traveling on his little boat to spy on whatever enemies of the Realm he can find. He is excellent at stalking targets and sending coded messages thanks to his high
Intrigue, but he was never given command of his own galleon due to a reluctance to lead others. As such, his
Martial skills aren't really the best. He is very vocal in his complaints about the Water Aspect.
An Earth-Aspected army leader, she was an Outcaste who joined the army rather than take the razor of the Immaculate Order because she desired some freedom to do as she pleased once she was old enough to retire. Her skill at leading troops was exceptional with her high
Martial, which is to be expected of an Earth Aspect. Sadly, she is too used to ordering others to really connect with people outside of the chain of command, meaning that as a
Diplomat her skills aren't too great. She complains a lot about the Fire Aspect.
A Fire-Aspected general from Lookshy, members of Gens Karal, he once served his nation loyally, before eventually deserting from his post. Why remains unknown, but it undoubtedly brought great shame to his name. Despite this, he remains one of the best when it comes to leading armies with
Martial, a prowess that seems almost habit to him. Sadly, his desertion was undoubtedly on poor terms, made poorer by his lacking capabilities with speech. He should not ever, EVER be assigned to
Diplomatic duties. Or ask him to talk to the Earth Aspect, he has nothing nice to say to her.
A Water-Aspected merchant of House V'neef, she once commanded a trade ship to travel around the Blessed Isle wheeling and dealing as she pleased. Her experience in economics means that she's quite good at
Stewardship, given how talented she is with money magic. However, her skill at arithmetic doesn't extend to other forms of math, she never did well in school as a result (hence why she was assigned to command a ship instead of joining the Thousand Scales). Her
Learning is rather poor, but not nearly as poor as her relationship with the Air Aspect.
Finally, the Wood-Aspected martial artist. A member of the Immaculate Order, she is the centerpiece of this oddly hostile hearth. All of the other members like her, so they follow her wherever she goes. As a member of the Order, she is highly trained in Wood Dragon Style, boasting a sizable
Combat stat. However, her monastic vows (and personal vows) have largely made her free of deception and
Intrigue, which while nice for you the Solar "Anathema", means that she can't be used for any subtle purpose. While not interested in taking a spouse herself, she seems...
oddly interested in pairing up the more feisty members of her Hearth. Something about "belligerent sexual tension?" Who knows.
