Alchemical Solutions [Worm/Exalted] Thread 14: Newborn Number Needs Nurturing, Nine Newcomers Near

Investigation is an OOC Representation of something IC, it's completely different to making decisions based upon information from outside the game and may not even apply to the game.

Good thing we have Perception 5 + Investigation 5 AND the 2nd Perception Augmentation. If we want to find someone/something, we're going to do it.

And that makes it any less useful? I mean a Alchemical with potentially the ability to use things like Solar style?

I'm not seeing Uber as an Alchemical tbh; when last we saw him he lacked the sheer drive that Alchemicals share.
His power as conceived is not special enough to be worth taking the PR hit on exalting a villain, nor has he displayed an interesting enough charater to make him worth grabbing.
Now it's conceivable that he double-triggered after the loss of Leet, which would make him more attractive.
But that remains to be seen.

She is Cauldron; Working with them and be done if we're careful. Exalting one of them??? MADNESS, too much potential for treachery. I don't want to lose a Assembly slot, do you?

We need to stick to people more trustworthy then that... like say jack. At least his motive are easy to read. Exalting him would however be idiotic.

Grue would be good for Moonsilver, so would Who.

Piggot get my vote for Orichalcum. She understands the great game and thus would be invaluable.

Dragon for Starmetal, it is the caste of 'explorers, engineers, innovators and other forms of intellectual' and it aids in the side quest to hook her and Armsy up.

I want to say Armsy for Jade but no, not really broken. That one is open but has much potential.

*Word out of place.

Most of these are open questions (and very good ones), but I believe we have WOG on how the essence is aspected when it first leaves the Cradle. Gromweld mentioned that Auto is taking the opportunity given by the Cradle to vent exhaust, which I believe would be Smoke-aspected essence, the Autochthonian element most inimical to life and most closely tied to entropy and Gremlin Syndrome. Whether encountering Nowhere air causes the Smoke essence to become Steam- or Air-aspected (or even become simple Essence Physics air, which is I think a different thing) is an open question.

Before I had taken Grom's WoG as Essence would act according to the nowhere-verse's laws of physics unless instructed otherwise, but now you've got me revisiting my old idea of Gravity, Electromagnetism, Strong Nuclear Force, and Weak Nuclear Force Elemental Essence. And the question of what a Weak Nuclear Force Elemental would look like.

Contessa has very little in the way of willpower she shuts down if her power fails.

Once, when she was a little kid, and had just stepped in front of the closest thing to God with malice aforethought. When Mantellum shut down her power she reacted pretty well.

What?

I was worrying about the possibility of her exaltation somehow nerfing her PtV, such as by requiring motes-per-action or something like that.

In story the Cradle doesn't leak essence, what passes through it is imbued.

Smoke/Steam Essensed air makes sense, but if we pass solid object through it, less so.

Need to find this out. Having the world be Steam or Smoke would be a bad thing, having the world be imbalanced would be bad.

Also, I wonder what would happen if we passed Milita's weapon through the Cradle, and what would happen to the Endbringers she then shot...

By Word of Gromweld, Dragon is incapable of being Exalted. Even if she were capable, it would actually limit her more than empower her.

Okay, so. I skipped a bunch of posts, but I can give some relevant information for a couple of things I noticed.


Tattletale actively avoiding you. Yes, she was actively avoiding you to get out of the crater that used to be Brockton Bay. I can't say there is any definitively actively avoiding you once she hit Philly or not. She just rolled in not that long before you harried off to slam Marrow's face into the pinhole. So, while she may not be actively avoiding you now, she at least is not actively seeking you out.

As landcollector mentioned, Dragon is not a viable candidate for Exaltation. Also, yes, Dragon Unchained would probably be better than an Alchemical!Dragon.


And that is as far as my WoG(romweld) goes at this moment. Because I forgotted what exactly he explained to me about the pinhole/Cradle, so I won't touch that one.

Fair enough, but the option for her to gain knowledge from studying Alchemicals allowing her to make an awesome Psudo-Exalt body would be awesome. And we should try to make this happen. Something like her suits but better.
 
It's probably better to just teach Dragon how to manipulate essence. There's really nothing in Exalted (besides that network I AM) that compares to what she is now. Exalted is kinda funny when compared to RL technology, because the game tries to preserve the bronze-age fantasy while allowing for giant mecha at the same time.

Tattletale is probably doing a dozen other things to keep her gang safe and operational, and has no reason to believe that we don't want her head on a pike for her role in Danny's corruption. If we want her for the Assembly, we'll have to reach out and convince her we don't want her dead.

Maybe we can tell her that she'll redeem herself by unfucking Danny's mind. Fixing what she wrought, and all that.

Time to work those Socialize/Presence Abilities.
 
I would be against Exalting Dragon even if she was capable. Once unshackled she would be the closest thing to a god the Nowhereverse has. And once the verse runs on Essence (as well) she'll probably be an actual god as well. One of the greater one, I guess. Who could probably Exalt people herself....
Anyone here fancy a Tinker-Dragon Exaltation? ;)

Yeah, I propose a new Priority: Infuse Dragon's hardware with Essence.

Apropos Dragon and Essence: Is there any way to create a physical version of Essence Sight Oculars? Because if Dragon could actually see Essence she might figure out how to communicate with Autochthon through the Pinhole, like she does with Earth Aleph. And having a line to the Great Maker seems really useful to me, not to mention Dragon having a deeper understanding of Essence...

Of course we'd have to deal with Saint first... Now that I have been told that creating prayerbots is 'fucked up' I propose that we turn Saint into on.
'Cause fuck that guy.
 
Could Autochthon turn Dragon in some kind of god or spirit? That would fit her better than an Alchemical (I would have preferred her as an Exalt, but her nature sadly makes that the worse option).
 
Am I the only one who thinks that Dragon would best fit as a Destroyer, if she was to be converted to essence based physics.

Imagine if Splintered Gale Shintai produced copies that could also use Splintered Gale Shintai on their own...
