Uhm, you're right. The changes are okay, but personally I would add +1 to Temperance, otherwise she would not be able to resist going sadist-mode at all.

Prologue Part 4 Summer Days
(Credit to @Alexander89 for the Stunt/Write in)
He calls you a predator. Whoever, or whatever he is obviously not wise enough to know a simple lesson: that you cannot make a predator into a pet, only into an ally through respect. For that, and for threatening Takashi, he will die. Though, right now the battlefield's conditions aren't favorable for you at all. The sword in your hands is not familiar to you, and even with Takashi's help you don't think you can win without suffering horrible losses. Your hatred for your foe is nothing compared to the love you have for Takashi. This calls for a...strategic retreat.
Just as your foe start to move you hug Takashi with your free hand, making sure to use his head to cover your lips. "Be ready to run." You whisper in his ear before letting go, but not before stealing a quick kiss. Then you confidently stride forward, sword raising in a standard kendo two-handed stance.
Then your left feet abruptly stomp down on the pavement and, with every ounce of strength and willpower at your disposal, you take aim and hurl the sword tip-first at a pipe next to the armored guy. Taken by surprise, or maybe amused that you missed, he follows the sword's path-
Only to cries out in pain as the sword opens a large breach in the pipe, a jet of super-hot water vapour blasting right into his visor and, hopefully, his eyes.
You just grab Takashi's hand and together escape.
The armoured figures howls of pain follow you through the corridors as both run for it. Takashi takes the lead with one hand running along the right wall, he notices your lack of weapon and tosses you the bloodstained baseball bat. Its no sword but you can still do something with it if/when trouble comes your way again.
Takashi seems to know where he's going. You make a turn and run into a zombie female with black fletched foam dripping from its mouth and things squirming beneath its pale skin. Its armed with another of the short metal swords, identical to the one you use to open the pipe, Takashi ducks away from the things swing (clumsy blade work) and you strike like a snake smashing the bat into its shoulder then face when it drops the blade.
You quickly give the bat back to Takashi and grab the things sword. Takashi speaks quickly.
"I made it outside before a pack of those things jumped me and chased me into that chokepoint. Just a little further."
"Okay lead the way."
You hurry on and after a few minutes leave the metal interior and come out into open sunlight. You are on the spine of the ..... ship. From this elevated position you can see a good chunk of this place. You can see Dubai not to far away with only a stretch of open water between you and land.
This place really does appear to be some strange mix of a giant sea monster and a rusting metal ship. You see platforms and stairways winding across its back/deck and sea water lapping at the constructions sides. You hear a sharp collection off noises and turn towards the commotion.
"Is that gunfire?" Takashi whispers.
A few hurried minutes later you get your answer, you can see a group of figures dressed in full Hazmat gear and carrying automatic weapons shepherding a confused crowd of people down a rope ladder and on to a moterboat parked by the ships side.
They are being swarmed by a massive horde of walking armed corpses and stranger things: you see walking statues crackling with lightning, dogs with skins of smoke and ash all trying to overwhelm the armed group of men. To your eyes the shadows that move around the group have a sense of ominous purpose.
Takashi points and you see another smaller boat tied to another part of the ship, it's more of a wooden canoe with oars but it's a boat. Several armed zombies are milling around the deck that leads to it.
Lastly you check Dubai's closeness and you think you could swim to it if you simply jumped off the side of this place of horrors. It would be tiring, and you would probably have to lose the heavy metal sword, but without the risk of fighting more zombies or worse things.

A turning point.
To combat with others has numbers, but more danger.
To go alone is possibly higher chance to escape but take longer.
One thing to not do, jump in the water, hidden dangers?

Now, I'm pretty sure we'd be able to get through to the SWAT team because we're badass and we just punk'd an Abyssal as a mortal and lived, but I doubt Takashi's going to survive making his way through a crowd of zombies.

Prologue Part 4 Summer Ends/Chapter 1 Howl at the Moon
[X] Go for the tied up wooden canoe thing. Dealing with the milling zombies in the way.
You consider the options the obvious resistance of the gun wielding figures is appealing but you get the sense that the powers that rule tis place of rust and death have taken notice of the incursion and you have no desire be caught up in the fallout of that mess to be. On the other hand the wooden canoe is only protected by a few milling zombies, together you and Takashi with the aid of the distracting gunfire should be able to cut your way through to freedom.
"The Canoe is our best bet. " you tell Takashi and he nods eyes sharp and assessing.
You move together weapons ready and then with burst of speed you sprint forward your blood pounding and carve off one of the monsters faces with a swing of the blade and then leap into their midst. You strike about you with none of the frenzied blindness of the last battle, despite the blood staining your from head to toe and danger all-around your clear headed as you stab through a zombie's face and kick another in the sternum before your blade opens its fellows stomach like a Christmas present.
Your not invincible your arms shake with the shock of your blade colliding with flesh and bone your sweating in the sun. You glimpse Takashi swearing and struggling and its a grim reminder that you and him could die here or be delivered to that monster knight to be broken into a pet. But even so ...
This is .... this is Fun. Cutting your opponents to ribbons, relishing your power and their pain. God, you never want this to end.
But it does eventually. Takashi smashes the skull of the last zombie and you quickly climb down the rope ladder to the boat. It has an outboard motor of all things and Takashi starts it. In a rush of wind and throbbing beautiful sound your soon powering over the water towards the Dubai coast line.
The wind in your face, the warmth of the sun, the salt spray and the beating your heart all merge into one glorious reality. Your free, you got out.
Takashi gives a shout of exaltation and you join your voice to his, hooting and laughing, mocking the monsters that sought to kill you or turn you into their property.
You are quite close to the coastline when it happens from the nightmare ship comes a BOOM not the kind of explosion you hear in the few movies Takashi talked you into watching but more of a tearing smash of noise.
You turn and see the ship rocking in the water flames licking across the deck the stick figures of people or zombies can't be seen running around like headless chickens as the flames spread over them. Things your brain can't (won't) comprehend thrash and squirm in the water and smoke with no respect for gravity. You make out screaming faces, skeletal wings and bare bones.
The water around the ship boils and twists, smoke jet black and thick rises in a pillar then descends swallowing the ship the fire the sea in a thick black shroud. The hair on the back of your neck stands on end as something roars inside the cocoon of smog.
The smoke thickens into something like tar in zero gravity and erupts outward spreading in every direction and once. Takashi's eyes widen and he guns the motor for all its worth.
The shore is close but the tide of darkness is almost upon you. It hits that your going to die swallowed by the sky high wave of filth. You meet Takashi's eyes and see the desperation, the refusal to give up and the heart and soul of the one you love. You wonder what he sees in your eyes.
The wave hits.
Heat darkness and smothering weight your are being thrown with bone breaking force into something hard you tumble head over heals. it like the time you went to the beach as achild and were caught in a wave and dragged through the water like a leaf in a gale. But this is worse the blackness forces itself down your throat and nose it cooks you with heat and swallows your screams. Something foul claws at your mind images and possibilities play before your eyes.
You live in a world of white, your cell is padded white, your straightjacket is padded white, the orderly's that feed you pills and write observations on charts are dressed in white. You remember the death that brought you here. The man jumped you and you fought back it was over quickly but you didn't stop you kept hitting him and hitting him. The sight of his red red blood and the arousing sound of his screams robbed you of all reason and the police had to pull you off his mutilated corpse to make you stop.
After that had come questions and those revealed the truth you weren't a traumatised victim you were a monster in the making. So you were placed in a facility to help manage your sickness. But you never got better so you never get to leave.
This is your life.
(no, that isn't me, I stopped ....)
Your fat and slow. Clothes stretch over your wide frame, you muscles have turned to mush and lifetime of conditioning has been thrown out the window and its all for him. You hang up the phone it will be your parents again telling you that you are shameful waste, that your sick, that Takashi is feeding your lies, that this isn't you.
Hah!
Of course this isn't you, the real you is a bloody thing of sadism and filth down to the bone. Better, safer to be the mask: the pudgy housewife who would never get shakes of want when your kids watch gory movies, who would never dream of smashing in your loving husbands face and slitting your sweet screaming kids throats.
Yes much better to be the mask than accept the ugly truth crawling closer with everyday.
This is your future.
(no, that isn't me, I would never......)
Your filthy in all kinds of ways blood and thicker things paint your naked body from head to toe. But that's noting to the stains inside
You taste the hot sweat blood on your tongue and see your self in your victims eyes.
There's so much blood, so much fluid. Pussing ruined skin, mottled and leathered in places, not scarred but simply changed, made into something other. Your right hand is too badly damaged to unwrap from the handle of your weapon, fingers broken and wrapped hard around the hilt with a leather that reeks of decay. Sickness.
Your teeth have been filled to points and your face is a mask of scars and hard lines. The smile is an ugly scar across your face.
The mother/victim/prey is screaming and calling you a monster, monster as she rocks the bloodstained Crip. How sweet the taste of young flesh, how sweet the screams of a parent and child sound.
The newspapers call you a prodigy of murder. Something inside your twist painfully at that but better prodigy than prey.
This is your nature.
(NO! THAT ISN"T ME, I WILL RESIST)
And impossibly the moon rises.
Its bright and has haunting beauty, this is the moon wolves howled to that men dreamed of reaching. In clear sharp lines and silver glow you are yourself again.
You are not alone, a women is before you and she is beautiful and terrible beyond words. She speaks and it is a voice that you could lose yourself in rich and clear commanding and understanding.
Lift your gaze young one,
Your time has come
Your story is just beginning
Your mind is a blade. Master it.
Your body is a shell. Change it.
Extinction is approaching. Fight it.
You are my Chosen Saeko Busujima.
The moon's/her light shines into the depths of you coursing through your veins alongside blood echoing your thoughts and armouring you in power beyond reckoning.
You awake, hardened tar turning to vapour around you.
(Lunar Exaltation Acquired)
The power inside you forms a shape that you know you can assume, the shape of your soul it is a -

You are on Dubai's beach though it looks like the aftermath of oil spill now solidified filth stains the coastline and the city before you is loud with sounds of violence.
The sky is black with smoke rising from the city before you. At your feet is Takashi, he must have tried to shield your body with his own. He is still breathing. Your vaporisation of the filth reveals the broken wreckage of your boat and the metal blade you took on the ship.
You look about the beach and see the enemy, a few zombies either thrown to the beach by the tide of corruption that exploded from the ship or the local beasts coming to see what has washed up. Dead eyes turn towards the silver light that glows from your (naked?) form. Not many, under normal circumstances you could deal with this lot, now ......
A predators smile stretches across your face.

Aw just to clarify: you choose Saeko spirit shape then indicate how you want to deal with your short term issues and then put forward your long term plan.
"Kill everything that can be a threat to you and Takashi near the general area. Once done grab your beloved and find a safe place to stay at until he awakens." Is fine if that's what you want to do, but just saying you can indicate how you go about it. Do you use take your Lunar Exalted power for a test drive? Do you use the blade? etc.
If you don't indicate I will have Saeko what actually does to "Kill everything that can be a threat to you and Takashi near the general area" be what I feel would be most in character for Saeko.

I'm fine with that, no need to get all techinqul about the details for just killing some zombies and beasts.
Is she a TAW lunar or vanilla lunar?
Good Question, I will say that some homebrewing is involved but short answer is that Saeko is closer to a conventional Luna than not but has some Terrifying Argent Witch Stuff in her package.
Any others questions?
I prefer to atleast spare normal human or don't go kill too much and lose precious time to go to safety.
Like set priority is this.
1.Takashi safety
2.kill everything except human.

Yeah I want to try and write a stunt in but I'm not that familiar with Lunars to try my hand at it without fucking it up.
Can someone give me an idea of what stunts and abilities they're capable of?

Well, right now Saeko can transform into a human-bird hybrid and increase several sizes in height, getting a massive physical boost and claws that cut like swords. Probably wings too. This without Charms.
Saeko can turn into her spirit shape or her War form a combat orientated fusion of her spirit shape and human form.
Alexander89 provides a outline of what a Hawk spirit shaped Saeko's War form would look like and the benefits there in
For Lunars signature ability shapeshifting I suggest reading this: Shapeshifting Rules - Ninja_Sensei_Gaming
Charms are open to poster addition but subject to GM audit so if you want the stunt the use of a start level Luna charm go ahead.
Essence and willpower have now been added to Saeko's character sheet.

Stunt:
The Enemy stands before you, an array of a dozen undead monstrosities looking for living flesh to consume stand between you and your beloved finding shelter.
They will pay for this hindrance.
But how?
You are naked no weapons and armor in your possession, victory seems all but impossible under these conditions. And that would be true if you were a normal human, but you are not, you are so much more for you have been blessed by a power far above yourself.
You look for and fell the great power that has been blessed upon you, you focus deep within your soul and you release Something that resonates with you, you hear the great cry of a hawk and you Change.
Your weak human form begins a transformation into one that you know was made to do battle.
Your weak nails are turned into talons as sharp as any master crafted katana, you grow wings from your back that are beautiful, they shine the color of well polished sapphires while also having the sharp lethality of steel blades, your vision goes above and beyond your previous one, you see things at distances hundreds of meters away as if they were in front of you, your reflexes also gain a boost as the enemy seems to move at a much slower pace you see a fly flap it's wings as if in slow motion.
You feel invincible.
You feel complete.
You feel ready
You place yourself in a primal position and launch yourself at the sky at what feels like a hundred miles per hour, you ascend within seconds to a proper hunting position.
You look down and see the Enemy with crystal clear clarity, you smile at the thought of the looming carnage.
You sharpen your talons and prepare to use your wings like blades by stretching them out.
You look like the holy figure of some ancient pagan religion standing high in the sky, wings and talons made of a sapphire colored steel looking down with a smile of serenity, as if an angel of death sent down from the heavens both beautiful and lethal in your form.
You aim yourself downwards at the nearest Enemy to Takashi and dive bomb, before it can come in within so much as ten meters toward him you chop it's head of as if it's not there, and without missing a hitch you fly forward at speeds so fast you look as if simply a sapphire blur to the average human eye.
Thus the carnage begins.
You slice one in half from head to groin, chop the next's body into three pieces, crush one head into mush with your foot talons, obliterate the next into a blast of gore with a sharp strike instead of a slash from your talons.
You move from one to the next destroying them in absolutely brutal and efficient manners as you were trained to do. While also indulging your inner monster.
By the time all this is done the beach is clear, the monsters annihilated, the remaining humans safe from then but in fear and awe of you, and your precious beautiful Takashi is unharmed.
You feel a warmth in your chest a joy that sings to you:
For your new power to kill and protect with.
For your massacre and all the blood spilt.
And most importantly of all for your love being safe.
PS: first stunt ever! Wasn't really sure how these things are done so I went H.A.M. on it and hope you guys like it, please tell me if it's good or not, and what can I do to make it better.
