I know! Just look at sakurademonalchemist's "Tricksters and Gods" & "Pagans and Angels", it's a running theme through them both that is constantly brought up.

It's actually perfectly possible to ascend mortals into godhood.
All you need to to is to boost their Essence past 3, say with a Endowment-charm that happens to boost their Essence-rating...
Yes, this will be featured in the story.
Also, regarding the ABB and religious worship: At most they'll be slightly easier to convert. No instant worship or anything - especially since they have little reason to pray to Taylor specifically, her being responsible for bureaucracy.
As an additional note, Exalted physics won't generally trump Worm-physics. Scion would be perfectly capable of permanently killing Taylor if he bothered, there are several parahuman powers that interact with immaterial beings, Parahumans are not treated as mortals etc.
Sadly I barely got any writing done today, yay depression. I hope i'll be able to finish 1.6 tomorrow.

Any social power, be it Thinker or Master, would most likely work on Taylor. Or a Tinker who can build something. And getting shot in the face is probably not very pleasant. And Danny isn't immune.
She's a projection of Bureaucracy. Or she projects Bureaucracy.
"To kill her we must end all Bureaucracy."
PRT: "We surrender."
Thinkers, yes, although she is right now legitimately superhumanly intelligent and capable. Most thinkers do no do their best job against that kind of individual. Masters on the other hand, are mostly ineffective actually, at least those who don't work on a conceptual level. Near all work on a biological one, and Taylor is not biologically human anymore. Hell, Taylor might not even have a biology anymore.

Also, can't Taylor just utterly ruin Coil's day? If I'm remembering correctly, isn't he an actual member of the PRT? As such he is beholden to it's rules and regulations. Including: "Don't be a villainous overlord, partake in villainous activities, and/or be an utterly massive douche-cape" (Article IV; Section 24; Subsection 15-223-j)

I wonder if Taylor's ascension is giving Coil, Contessa and Ziz migraines right about now?

You are the first person to have (I presume) recognized the source of my avatar. I am full of gleeeeeeeeeee.
"The tenets of douche-capery are written by the victors."

I do believe there's a rule that says no capes period.
Also Coil is the head of fortress construction and a consultant to the PRT before he gets hired as the director of the PRT ENE.
Not an actual member if I remember correctly, just a contractor. Which arguably means that Taylor can fuck him over even more thoroughly, given that he's nearly about certainly in violation of his contracts with the PRT due to his activities as a super villain. Furthermore, he's also an inherent enemy because he fosters corruption in the PRT, which is just about against Taylor's domain is about (well, as she will probably define it at least.
).Do mind you, she can't simply force him to acquiesces with the contracts and regulations he's subject to (well, not unless she has some bullshit charm I don't know about, but since he counts as having Essence 2+, he probably does have the ability to at least try to resist even if she does have those kind of bullshit charms).
What she can do is quite easily recognize that there's something very fishy going on, and probably even trace every issue in the paperwork and every corrupted individual in the bureaucracy are, once she directs her attention to it at least.

Now I'm curious. What is your avatar of?

It's the syncretic deity Thoth-Hermes (aka Hermes Trismegistus or Thrice Great Hermes in English) who is collecting the soul of a young girl in order to turn her into the superhero/persistent fiction known as Promethea, titular character in Alan Moore's Promethea, an under appreciated comic about the Western Mystical tradition and Alan Moore's feelings on Magick and spirituality.
It's pretty preachy in some spots but has a lot of interesting information about that particular field of study, and provides insight into Alan Moore's mind in general. Also has one of the best (as in awarded honors for how the comic handles it) sex scenes in graphic noveldom while delivering a treatise on the metaphysical nature of sex as well as the tantric associations of boning.
Now, in order to remain on topic so as not to draw the ire of the mods down upon me, I shall also post this:
Do laws in general count as bureaucracy or are they outside of Taylor's current scope? That is to say, could she nudge new laws into being? Where is the line drawn on that piece of fine-print?

Law is indeed under the bureaucracy skill in exalted.
Motions and other filings, proper procedure, and a host of legal minutiae would all fall under Taylor's portfolio.
Oh, hey there Paige Macabee!
All sorts of stuff could be done about that.

Not just that. Coil's power isn't very powerful without the ability to leverage it through his organizations (both legal and illegal). And there's almost certainly an internal bureaucracy to Coil's villainous ventures.
