Four points in Kaleidoscope of Eternity Style means you have really really good control over your own personal time stream. Want to delay having to deal with your broken arm until after the fight? You can do that. Want to delay having your strikes effect the enemy until you trigger them all at once? You can (generally) do that. Want to speed up your own personal time rate so the other guy isn't faster then you? Yep. And so on.
Honestly Mastery of Kaleidoscope of Eternity is less about getting more tricks and being able to do the tricks even beginners are poking at reliably in a fight instead of 'maybe sometimes'.
Imperial Dragon Style rank four = Go look at the last two descriptions of this.
Ever Thirsting Void Style rank four means that you can do tricks like causing weapons to rust away with a touch, corrode stone, drain the vital enemies of your enemies with each strike, basically make tractor beams at will, create gravity wells centered somewhere nearbyish at a strength that depends on how much energy you want to put into it, and so on.
It combines well with Kaleidoscope's ability to suspend the effects of your strikes until later for tricks like 'three days after we fight, your heart explodes' or the kinds of things you see the Fist of the North Star doing to bandits.
Third rank of Raging Furnace Style means you are basically cold proof, able to raise your body temperature to levels that let you char paper with a touch and such tricks. Literally flaming fists, imitate Imperial Dragon's fire breath, throw a fireball or three, and so on. Combos badly with Void though, as Yang is positive energy and Void uses Yin, or negative energy. Can't really use both at once normally. Outside of legends at least.
Two points in Crane and Spider Style means you are quite maneuverable. This is getting into the area of 'if Spiderman could do it, so can I'. Speed isn't its game though. Still, mastery of the Rooftop Road is useful in any city, and unless someone traps you in a room with walls you can't, or are unwilling, to break you can basically be guaranteed of having the mobility advantage unless the other guy has equal or higher ranks in this style or an equivalent. Really more useful in support then as a primary when you've got access to three separate sources of 'on strike' type effects and the devastating damage of fourth rank imperial dragon.
Overall a good mix of raw power and special effects, with just enough support not to have too much trouble when people start being exotic at you.
In short, Oncoming Monsoon is the school of 'transferring physical force to things at a range' and Sublime Force is the school of 'I amplify physical energy'. It looses effectiveness when you're dealing with things outside of touch range, so you can't casually break people in half by breathing in their general direction or something, but combing it with Oncoming Monsoon does allow tricks like bitch slapping people at range so hard they get knocked head over heels. (Also Monsoon does wind manipulation and uses air as a carrier for Physical Force but that combos less well even if you still have it.)

Added a list of plans to the second post for the Cult Creation period of the game. Maybe that way people won't vote for wootius just because his is the first plan they see. 
And sure. Shorter though, typing big long ones is tiring me out a bit and some of them have already been gone over anyway.
[3] Kaleidoscope of Eternity Style <- As with my description of it for the fourth rank, only less dependable in getting its tricks off.
[2] Sublime Force Style <- Entering into levels of superhuman strength, able to reinforce objects so you can use said strength without breaking the object. Able to use said strength even on things that it shouldn't really be usable on, within some limits.
[2] Ever Thirsting Void Style <- decent ability to use the energy draining and lower level bits of the entropic tricks, but not the gravity stuff yet.
[2] Pearl Heaven Dreamer Style <- decently resistant to spirits and ghosts and stuff, able to fight them on their own level. Should avoid major supernatural enemies still, but can actually try fight back against things like undead ghost kung fu masters or such without finding that all your blows go through them with no effect or the like.
[3] Glacial Messiah Style <- The ice is your friend. Freeze most objects with a touch, snuff out bonfires, sap people's energy... that part comboes well with Void, but that's because both styles use Yin Energy. So combos well with Ever Thirsting Void in general on that count, at least in terms of ease of using both at once. Can do a good imitation of your average low rank ice superhero/villain.

Cosmic Dragon is better.
and how do i advocate suicide.
The Battōsai, if he was able to lift dozens of tons and make straw into titanium?

because you don't reach for ZA WARUDO in your plan.
that and gravity manipulation + plus on strike entropy effects + time manipulation allows us to do crazy shit straight out of hokuto no ken
besides GM said my plan was a good balance of brute force and esoteric hax.
my plan is best plan.

... question: If someone were to dump 9 points into Tyrant's Blade... what would happen?
Actually, what would happen if you were to do that with any of the Fus?
is really curious to see just how broken each individual skill would be at 9...

Well, Tyrant's Blade is basically a swordfighting school, not a special effects style, so... hum.
Look, you know in fate stay night there's this guy who can break casualty through pure skill and make three different attacks at once? That's the kind of thing a ninth rank swordfighting school could casually pull off.
Or go pull out your exalted sourcebooks and look at the melee charms.
Basically it'd be ridicules. But then so would any other ninth rank practitioner.

Checking your build again it looks like it has a bit of Ren Woxing what with the ability to absorb ki and your build includes a rival cult and a Shaolin temple declaring you evil just like Ren Woxing who being the leader of the Sun Moon Cult got declared a heretical cult to be eliminated by the orthodox sects.
You've convinced me. I'll vote for your build.

and two likes for you.

From your build I don't believe you included a name? You could put it as Ren Woxing which translates to I do as I please which seems to be what you're going for with the enemies gained from a Shaolin master and a rival cult.

The Winning Plan
[X] Wu Tien(F)
[X] Fate-Chosen Heir
Styles:
[X] Oncoming Monsoon Style 4
[X] Cauldron of Creation Style 4
[X] Fairy Sleeve Style 4
Allies:
[X] Childhood Friend
[X] Ritual Attendant
[X] Exiled Adviser
[X] Sage of the Forbidden
[X] Itinerant Miko
[X] Lone Survivor
Cult:
[X] Hidden Lair 2
[X] Farmland 2
[X] Secret Garden 2
[X] Good Reputation 2
[X] Informers 1
[X] Profitable Resource 1
[X] Hidden Lore (Kaleidoscope of Eternity Style) 4
[X] Hideouts 2
[X] Tame Nobles 2
Drawback:
[X] Life Debt
(Gain +2 Cult Points, +2 Style Points, +1 Ally, and a dangling plot hook.)
[X] The Cartel
(Gain +4 Style Points, +4 Cult Points, and a whole lot of trouble about to land on your head.)
The overall build here is exotic powers and subtlety. Make a strong cult with strange abilities for a lot of quiet building of strengths, then hit the world with strange powers. Mostly loses out in immediate personal power, but with a lot of room to grow.
With a good reputation and otherwise low profile, we acquire and train students...and of course, on the personal level Oncoming Monsoon(consumes huge amounts of power) synergizes incredibly well with Cauldron of Creation(gathers huge amounts of power).
Overall, all the allies are loyal and not really troublemaker sorts, even if they're often foreign.
Thoughts?
Also, how long will the chargen run for?

Just to check we're a kung fu cult so there's the official sects which have their own politics that can be just as cutthroat? Would some examples of official pugilist groups be like the beggars' sect and something taoist related?

Kinda sorta? See, among other things, the Shaolin Temple. Kung Fu Society, as it is, is not an official thing. It's a thing of rumor, of face to face interactions, and of reputation. And it's threaded through a thousand other things like a maze. You have Kung Fu Cults like yourself, which usually pursue strange and elaborate plans and schemes while engaging in gobs of infighting. They're part of the culture. You have monks who learn Kung Fu as a road to spiritual enlightenment and are members in good standing of official monasteries and the 'religious society'. This is what the Shaolin Temple is. You have lone masters who retreat up into the mountains to cultivate excellence and practice Kung Fu under the unforgiving eyes of the elements. They're part of the culture. You have royal advisers and eunuchs who practice Kung Fu to keep of their physical fitness and as trump cards in case of trouble (And as I have mentioned, have come up with entire styles simply around the demands of fighting in full court dress). They're... well, ok, it's even odds if they're part of the culture or connected to it (Depends on how much they practice, really), but you get the point.
Some nobles practice it for use in war, you can find crime lords able to punch their way out of jail even if the jail is made of foot thick stone walls, wandering sages practice it for defense against bandits and other dangers of the roads, some bandits practice it for, well, better banditry... these are all part of the world of Kung Fu.
People know each other by reputation, by word of mouth, by rumor and story and so on. Honestly the biggest and main carrier of news about Kung Fu between practitioners are the wandering martial artists who seek out other practitioners and challenge them to Kung Fu Fighting in order to perfect their arts.
It's a strange world, a network where a bandit king, a reclusive monk, a court official, and a penniless noble can all know each other by name, even if you could show them each other's faces without a single bit of recognition, but that's the world you operate in.
In the end, the world of Kung Fu is the world of those who use Kung Fu, and those people are as varied as humans ever are.
Probably call it tomorrow night in the 'when I wake up tomorrow and count the vote this will be called' fashion. At the very least running it through tomorrow to give the people who fell asleep before I posted this or had evening shift or whatever time to wake up and see the quest before I call things.
It always really annoys me when I find a quest like the current Hyrule Dynasty that launches and calls votes so fast that they happen between the times I can get on the computer and catch up with stuff, after all.
Sure, but its currently 4AM, so it'll be when I wake up.
