They change if any of their Third Circles are killed, but if their Fetich is killed then they are effectively a different person afterwards.
For a given definition of the word "person".

True, which is why many are actively malicious now(as opposed to merely being careless or capricious) while retaining their general themes and shapes.

My only real misgiving about Luthe is that it's only easily accessible for Lunars, given their shapeshifting allows them to access both the air and water sections without needing artifacts or sorcery, but it's still a hell of a lot more viable than the 2E version.

Water-breathing seems like something really easy to get if you want to base a campaign around Luthe.

Being a Lunar, being a Water Aspect, being a Beastman with gills, a Hearthstone or other doodad that lets you breathe underwater, a Sorcery spell, a Sorcerous Working a more experienced NPC uses on the entire party to facilitate getting to their destination, just off the top of my head.

Water Aspects can breathe underwater without problems! Once again, Dragon-Blooded triumph!
 
today in "hold the moon's head underwater until the bubbles stop"

softboi orochimaru's boyfriend is an idiot. a centuries old ghost of a tiny s/se asian grandmother lobs sandals at her grandson's head and plots to eat the city. centipede woman ruins peaceful brunch venue. sorcerer al capone is going to make champoor great again. it's four hours until the paper's due and the paper is murder and treason.

everything's fun and games until it isn't.

not included in this list:

- an angry painting sexually harasses the maid (who's not the maid)
- softboi orochimaru and Literally A Cowboy walk in on the world's biggest thembo, their fellow lunar, getting railed by a man in his betrothed's bed chamber
- the armies of the dead fight the Triads which are about to explode into infighting as the monsters descend, because we're still traumatized by game of thrones s8
- local pile of centipedes still doesn't know what a champoor is

Also, Literally a Cowboy's big hero moment is shocking The World's Biggest Thembo out of a nervous breakdown by turning into a just shy of seven feet tall bipedal coyote man with bull horns.

It might be like a Himbo or a Bimbo but for a gender neutral individual?

I don't understand why alternate words are needed, nothing in the nomenclature of 'bimbo' seems to indicate that it's specifically referring to a woman. Hell, it comes from Italian for 'little child'. Why not just use the same word for all?

Because despite its origin its still a heavily gendered term. Like how you don't call women bastards, despite that being gender neutral.
 
ngl props to @mothematics because the tone of tragicomical horror works really well for a Lunars game. orochi is, by turns, a borderline amoral nihilistic monster who hates the world that made him only slightly more than he hates himself and the group's straight ("straight") man, co-sharing the role of semi-functional adult with our jaded cowboy.

(bian had solid shot at getting us up to 75% of one well adjusted adult but she blew that chance once she started playing into a haunted portraits French maid fetish to pump it for information.

gotta get some of great granny's cookies i guess)

it's pretty incredible how this game manages to carry the tone of:

"genuinely really dire political drama in a fucking powder keg of a city, and everyone (except bian) is a shambling corpse made of a bunch of character flaws awkwardly stapled together"

while everyone seems to be pulled from wildly different genres

but it still works. somehow.
 
I got my Zenith commissioned a couple of days ago. The artist even drew his really goofy socks that the rest of his circle makes fun of him for.

This is the artist, I can't recommend them enough when it comes to drawing really cute stuff.

Having their most precious ideals and innermost thoughts paraded in chains before the Deliberative, forced to exercise their knowledge, skills, and godlike powers on the behalf of those who butchered their siblings and forced them into bondage definitely didn't help with that.

(Also, I'd just like to take this opportunity to say that you're a goddamn genius and I've loved all of the ideas you've posted here, please don't stop)
 
Today one of my players asked if some rich mortal merchants would buy her Dragon Blood used bath water. That image is now stuck in my head and now all of you have to deal with it to.

I know exactly why he brought it up with that being a current running joke on the internet. Then it devolved into how some Dragon Blood would probably get really weird letters occasionally.

"Dear (Dragon Blood)

(A long letter praising them for everything they have done and their beauty and then at the very end)
Also, please clip your toenails and send them to this address.

-From your most ardent admirer"

Edit: Another one they came up with.

"Dear (Dragon Blood)

I noticed that I have not received any returns. I have done much for your as a friend over the years as a proud mortal servant. Why am I always being put in the friend zone after my years of work? I'm a nice guy, work a nice job, and would do anything for m'lady. In the end these dragon blood always go after some other dynast guys who treat them not nearly perfect as I do, and only talk to me to cry about it. I'm sick of being considered 'beta' or whatever you call it.

Please send them immediately or I don't think I can call myself a 'friend' anymore.

-From your most ardent admirer"
