Education in Heroics (Exalted/Highscool of the Dead)

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.

Okay, so it's a very cool snippet but strictly speaking, stunts are not this elaborate. Two to three sentences tops is generally what you're looking at. The guidelines (and I'm assuming we're using the 2e rules for the most part), are that a one dice stunt is anything more elaborate than 'I do [thing]', a two-dice stunt plays off the rest of the scene in some way, be it the environment, or the other characters, or what, and three-dice stunts are ones that make you go 'wow'. All that while being concise and not repeating yourself.

It's mostly assumed that players will get a two-dice stunt on most actions.

A certain amount of latitaude is given as this is write in format, the above stunt is okay though may only partially work depending on dice rolls, though you are free to produce your own if you want to goo in a different direction.
 
"So" he asks "What do you want to do next?"

"Well I can think of a few ideas" you say in a eager voice and then you lean over and kiss him hard on the lips.

"Ah! Saeko what are you - " he gasps in shock, oh he's blushing how cute. You let yourself smirk as you press up against him.

He staggers back against your bed. You want to have your fun now.

Something dark and hungry inside you shifts and before you know it your straddling him, pinning him to the bed with your body weight like prey beneath the predators paw.

You lean down and take what's yours.

An hour later you lie panting on the much abused bed. You look over at Takashi and see in his eyes what you know is reflected in your own

He's yours and your his.
Waitwaitwaitwait... this really doesn't look like sub behavior.
 
[x] Scaly and armoured. Cutting teeth and whipcord muscle
Short term action plan: [x] 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.
[X] Swift and agile. Strongwings and talons

It fits her the best to me: She strikes with the force and power of a hawk dive bombing at a couple hundred miles per hour, her blade is her talons, sharp and elongated, eviscirating everyone and everything that stands before her, and finally in regards to birds of prey the females tend to be much deadlier than the male due to being much larger, symbolizing the fact that in this relationship she is Takashi's benevolent mistress and he lives under the pressure of her smooth velvet glove.

Short term action plan: [x] 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.


Long term action plan: [X] find out how FUBAR this situation's become, and depending on how things are being reported, find sanctuary in the city and wait for the military to do its job and clean this shit up or Get the supplies needed to make a bug out bag and get the fuck out of the city to the nearest bastion of civilization; but during either option Takashi's survival apart from our own will be our number one priority protected he will be protected using our newly found Preternatural abilities along with whatever means and measures we deem necessary.
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.
That pretty good short term plan,

Long Term action plan: [X]Find more information of nearby area,find safe destination or how to escape form the catastrophy zone.

Short term action plan: [x] 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.
