Past lives 5 isn't *quite* that cool. It's only First Age Lore, Technology and Society.

You're thinking of Savant, or the first edition past lives merit - not the infernal background Past Lives.

Actually, I was thinking Past Lives out of Scroll of Heroes (where Merits and Flaws for 2nd Ed are kept.)

By the way there are some great fan made Infernal Charmsets. I'm particularly fond of the Yozi(non-canon) who lets you create hiveminds, assume direct control, etc. . .

Keep in mind that if she ever rolls more success on an action augmented by Past Lives than her Dodge MDV Merela takes over. Which may be something you want to downplay if you're going that route.EarthScorpion said:Actually, no. It's nastier than that. It adds your Past Lives in dice to your pool. And when you consider that Louise is rocking that Malfeas look, and will be picking up Malfeas Mythos Exultant when she hits Essence 3; the one which doubles your mote reward, she can throw a lot of dice at problems, just from the Excellency. Of course, she's going to need it, because her combat skills are... well, she certainly has a +3 Speciality in Martial Arts for Groin Shots, which opens some nasty possibilities for Infernal Monster Style

Eh, a non-trivial fraction of the fanbase pretends that Scroll of Heroes was never written - I would be somewhat hesitent to assume anyone used anything from it.arthurh3535 said:

Wait... Wait wait wait. This past life actually had relations with the Unconquered Sun? He who is both a four armed killing machine and the sun itself? And I thought I couldn't be surprised by Exalted any more. Shows how much I still don't know about this universe.
Good thing Merela's Exalted, or we might have had a "woman of kleenex" situation. What would the kids look like? Is a god blooded by the Unconquered son of a higher grade?

Not just had relations - the Unconquered Sun entombed her within the daystar itself, and it seems that he hasn't returned since.Winged Knight said:

Yes, basically. It's a clear and present danger, which approximates to a "Super Berserk Mode" for her. Most of the time, she's fine with just the Malfeas Excellency. I do, however, hold that because of this, she can use it as justification for training up skills. I mean, she still has to sleep, because she doesn't have Nightmare Fugue Vigilance yet.Aaron Peori said:

Little Beam, is that you?drakensis said:

Nah, Little Beam is the UCS and Saturn's child. Not openly stated, but there's a lot of clues in that regard from his charmset (He's not permitted to work against an Ending Saturn has declared for instance, while there's nothing stopping him from working against the other Maidens).
Merela's definately Essence 10 though, along with the other Primordial War Survivors. With that said, the Unconquered Sun has clauses in his Charmset that make any of his children God Blooded at the very least (If not full out promoted deities in their own right).

Essence ten when she died, likely. But I doubt it was that high by the end of the Primordial War.
Same scale as other Exalts. Now, on the other hand, their "death counter" starts ticking from the moment of Exaltation, but still. If your Essence is [ 6, you have a 150 year lifespan, and you can't get above 5 until 100 years past Exaltation, barring Motivation completion.Valiran said:
That's what Ascendancy Mantle of (Yozi) is for. It lets you break your agecap by one point, and is always on, for the "mere" cost of having half your Limit boxes filled, or having to have Cult 4 or be near a sea to keep working, or automatically gaining (Essence) Limit when you break your Urge. Things like that.

Yes. Howl of the Devil Tiger makes you immortal.
Nope, not even that. Essence 6 makes it 300 years, Essence 7 700, Essence 8 1500, and it's only at 9+ that you get to 2500.Cruentus said:
There's only two ways for immortality. (Yozi) Cosmic Principle, or Triumphant Howl of the Devil Tiger. That's it. Nothing else even allows you to extend or bypass it. They're designed by the Yozi to be "Live Fast, Die Young", because they are the motherfuckin' rockstars of hell, as well as having the all important feature of being a savepoint for Primordial Charms that mean that as long as 1 GSP knows one of your Charms, you won't lose power overall from a fetich death.
She Who Lives In Her Name, being a nerd, also appreciates the fact that if a GSP takes (Yozi) Cosmic Principle and one of its following Charms, you can get continuity of consciousness with a now-Neverborned Primdordial, and, again, because she's a nerd, she find that a restore from backup is the same person, so it's a way of surviving.
The others, admittedly, would be less happy if they knew that this doesn't do a thing to help the Neverborn that was the old Primordial who's screaming in endless agony by the Mouth of the Void. But SWLiHN doesn't care for herself, only for the Principle of Hierarchy's continual existence. Because of the fact that she has all her Virtues at 5, and the Virtue modding charms.
I ship her with the Unconquered Sun. They can have the most Virtuous marriage ever.
Doesn't exist, as far as I'm concerned. Breaks the setting.Stormseer88 said:
And even then, the phrasing means that it doesn't work for GSPs, just like it doesn't work for Sidereals.

Doesn't work, the Age Cap on Infernals is a hard one, much like it is for Sidereals. Mortal frames can only handle Primordial scale power for so long--you can extend it a bit by evolving to transhuman essence levels, but your only permanent solution is to Stop Being a Human. Either by taking up a Yozi's mantle (Losing your Exaltation in the process, but gaining their level of hypercompetency in their focus), or becoming a Devil Tiger (Keeps your Exaltation, less hypercompetency, but you get to do some funny things with your body and soul at that point)Stormseer88 said:
