Exalted: Out Of The Eater

Reader mode
[X] [Dusk] Crimson Chrysalis Strike. Men that you strike die. Some explosively so. Cuts and injuries tinged with this Charm's power scab over in seconds. Forming glassy, scarlet ribbons across the body that promptly ignite. Killing the unfortunate victim and wounding those nearby.

Someone already grabbed the Doom quote so I guess I'm stuck with Genghis Khan.

"I am the punishment of God. If you had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you."

[X] [Dusk] Shattering the World's Spine. You excel at close combat but mere "distance" will not keep them safe. Strike the ground and send shockwaves of razored bone ridges and visceral red blades rippling out. A focused line of destruction as devastating as any cataphract charge.
 
I'm glad Steel-and-Ember Elegia has a new buddy.

[X] [Dusk] Incarnadine Reaper. All Deathknights can draw Essence from the lives of others and spilled blood is one of the most common mediums. But you. You have learned how to feed from multiple enemies at once in the heat of combat, rapidly fueling yourself in the process.
Revenge is thirsty work.

Lookshy was build upon death as its reaped the lives of those they deemed Lesser because that's how it worked in their eyes. They were the Citizens, those blessed by the Dragons, of course they deserved to live more, of course they deserved their freedom and of course the pathetic masses of Helots had to pay the price of their hubris with their lives.

But the Reaper cares not for such petty artificial distinctions. Death cares not for station of birth, privilege, rights or strenght of arms. The End comes for all equally and there is no escape, and it has come for Lookshy.

Once deaths fueled Lookshy's ember of life. Now it shall fuel the flame that renders it into cinders.

Who wants to be an impossibly fast blur of blades and blood and death?

We do.

How can you say no to the option that lets you tear through an entire unit of Lookshyan soldiers, shredding them without breaking step like you're playing Dynasty Warriors 8?

Lookshy delenda est!

Our masters would have us pay for the helotry's freedom in blood? Very well, then let this be our ransom. Only when the last Citizen is strangled by the broken chains of the last helot will we be free.

All of Lookshy's citizens are complicit in our suffering, not least of all the Encrypted Ones, their favored, privileged sons and daughters. The only redemption they can possibly find is at the other end of our blade.

I was really tempted by the crowd control and exploding scars options, but Harrowed is a spotted Anathema in the middle of an enemy fort with multiple Dragon-blooded on site. He's going to need to spend essence like water to survive. Plus there's a nice irony of drawing nourishment from the people who refused to nourish him.

I must say, I really like how visceral the Abyssal powers are.

I just remembered that traditionally, reapers were farmers. Given the start of this, Helots often acted as farmers. Reapers would use their scythes to reap the grain...and also to cut through overgrowth.

So, on second thought, this. Feels more thematically appropriate.

I'm the one with a bullshit regenerating protagonist around here >:C

No seriously this was rad as hell and fuck I want to make people punch until they fucking explode.

Also we have the coolest Deathlord of all Abyssals and what's even better we are his only Deathknight so we don't have to fight with other Abyssals over being his favorites so that's good
 
Hmmm. Okay, maybe because Alexius died because of a fire, a power with the same thematic could be more fitting here than the more classic blood-binging that I went for first. And I can't say that the cruel irony doesn't appeal to me. For lookshyans used fire to callously to get rid of helots they felt were only a burden, only for an Anathema of their own making to burst forth from its tomb-craddle, wielding the same flame that extinguished the life of the helot it was born from.

Switching my vote for the twisted, black humour (and the burny/explody mayhem):

Ah yes, the patented Kirby approach to warfare.
