Misho definitely had less heartlessness though.

Wasn't sure between thrown and dodge, but I like the thematics of thrown better. Picked lore just because of the broadness of it's applicability, though I was quite tempted by Survival.

Its broken in the other sense of "not very effective unless you like to take your boat where no boat was meant to go"

The Fairest gives us a Artifact N/A sword who only requires one charm to get, how is that not tangible/realistic?

Or we could take both, you know. It is possible to have our cake and eat it too. Or have both the massive fortress and the sword forged from the severing of ten thousand legends.

Classically, Thrown is the combat skill associated with improbable victory, cunning, improvisation, and resourcefulness, which sure sounds like Odyssial. Its associated Charms are just icing on the cake!

If we picking Fairest, we GOT to pick Lathe.
They combo into something FIERCE. Also Reincarnation so that Uly can finish the job.

I agree with what Garlak's saying, if we really want the greatest possible Odyssian then we need to give him enough time to finish these projects which can only really be done with a perfect reincarnation. The combo of the Lathe and the Fairest ensure that he is feared by everything in creation which is a pretty good legacy for the first age and reincarnation will ensure that he'll be able to carry his work forward into the second. Plenty of time to build a badass tower after he cheats death after all.
Well, then:

Reincarnation Planning is my most favoured vote. Also, I'm laughing at everyone who votes for it who didn't vote for Sorcery, because we're getting a worse effect and missing out on Sorcery.
Edit:
Within 7 years of Exalting Odyssial was able to kill multiple Second Circles before First Circles noticed his presence. We'll have a headstart, so lets beat that.

We already preserve continuity of consciousness by default; we are essentially paying for a memory package that dilutes and undermines the identity of Ulyssian by choosing reincarnation, as well as weakening Odyssial's final efforts against the Usurpers with the option's opportunity costs. In addition to this, we chose against Sorcery in the last update, opting instead to leave our mark with great deeds, rather than attempting to maximize the fidelity of our reincarnation. Choosing to reincarnate over everything else we could be doing flies in the face of that, especially as we already receive increased chances from Fair. The option is superfluous, unnecessary, hurts the narrative down the road, and I am categorically against it.

[X] The Lathe of Heaven
The Peerless City exemplifies all the greatest and most tragic aspects of the First Age. A monument to overbearing power and hubris, now diminished, but still great by the much-reduced standards of the Age of Sorrows. It provides a fortress that is uniquely ours and ensures our legend spreads far and wide indeed, that the name of Odyssial graces the lips of scholars the world over even millennia after the man himself has fallen. Perhaps, in time, Odyssial's successor shall return to complete it.
The Lathe is the Infinite Singularity Husk. It is the core crystallization of Odyssial's ideals, the ruthless pursuit of a better world, and this choice is as central to his character as the Apex was. If the Peerless City represents all that was great of the Age of Dreams, this represents all that was great about Odyssial.

I like the idea of having a base. Some place that's ours, a fortress. Seacrown was really, really cool, so I'd like to see something of the sort done again. The massive history and plot hooks provided by the scholars focused on researching it is just the cherry on top. The Lathe is the Lathe. I dunno what to say, since we don't know much, but it's kinda iconic.

So quadruple crown of terror affects exalts who knew Odyssial in life.
The first age solars are all going to be dead from usurpation.
The sidereal elders are going to be messed up by the wracking.
Which leaves lunar elders, lea, that chosen of serenity, and any first age ghosts.
Unless friendlies are immune or this effects even new exalts then this seems limited and possibly counter productive.
I suppose it's different if it doesn't make lea jumpy and the effect extends to past life memories or just triggers when people think of attacking us.
