First: Exalted is, essentially, a universe where Everyone Is Bi. Yes, him. And her. And hir. Our GM has noted he's made some of the NPCs in our game strictly lesbian as a means of bucking the trend.Marsdome_Valkyrie said:
To answer the actual question: in a world where 1. the Goddess of Prostitutes (who would be the 'hir' above) walks down the street with her entourage and who's going to tell her to stop putting on a 'demonstration' 2. there's an entire Terrestrial Gens whose M.O. is hedonism and decadence über alles, and 3. any number of corrupt (or not so corrupt) elemental Censors might decide you'd make a good dancing girl and, therefore, don't need your mind, it won't be missed*, nobody's going to raise an eyebrow at whatever kinks you might have.**
*In our game we just killed Wong Bongerok, usurper Censor of the South. His prize 'dancing girl' who was released from his mind-whammy by his death? Tepet Lisara.
**Unless your kinks involve Anathema, in that case the Wyld Hunt would like a few words.
EDIT: And ninja'd due to getting distracted by the picture thread. Ah well.

Nope, that's Tepet Fokuf, the most pious reader of the Immaculate Scriptures. Which, given the passages he frequently read, aren't probably so immaculate anymore.ShadowFighter88 said:

The children vanished, and Pria and Tali ended up walking in a large forest of mirror trees, and completely alone. "Well we're fucked," Tali says.
Pria shrugs, walking ahead with her shadow arm rubbing the back of her neck, and trying to grab at the clasps of her shirt. Pulling her shadow arm away, she walks along the mirror forest, seeing reflections- of herself. Herself staring at her, back at her. She glances to her left, and one reflection merrily skips along, not a care in the world.
Turning and staring at another tree of silver liquid mirror, she spots another reflection, curled up into a ball, hands tearing out her hair and screaming. She blinks and turns to another reflection of herself, rocking back and forth on her heels, arms wrapped around herself and tears streaming down her face.
Eyes wide, lips quivering, she walks along the empty forest. Her woven boots crunch against brittle brass soil, blue eyes glancing side to side, looking for more. Looking for some clue to what they mean. She sees another reflection of herself, leg wrapped around a pole, pulling open her blouse and blowing kisses. Another version on her hands and knees, crawling towards her. Another lunging at her, screaming in mania, which makes Pria take a step back, floating off the ground, turning to the large silver tree standing at the middle of the grove-
And she sees herself.
She sees herself, naked. Black tubes burrowed into her skin. Driven into her ears and her nose, blood and fluid draining from them, free-flowing from every available hole of which there are so many. She sees her skin paler than it should be, with black and brass and shadow slowly spreading over her marred and violated corpse, even as a single blood eye silhouettes her and Pria screams, as loud and as long as she can as the Viator of Nullspace reaches for her-
And the shadow arm rises and a bolt of pure, raw force shatters the tree. The reflections shatter and the other trees crack. The reflections fade and she stands along in the grove, breathing heavily, chest shaking, tears and snot running down her face.
"My, my. The Viator, mm? I remember him." An arm of perfect shadow- not hers, but someone else's, wraps around her shoulders and pulls her back, up against something. Someone. "Quite aggressive. Rather interesting, too. He responded so badly when I told him about how much we hated that crippled retard."
Pria's voice hitches. Her coughs are high pitched, squeaks and mutterings, mouthing words. A prayer.
"Ah. My scarlet bride." The finger trace down, like a hook. It works one button of her blouse, then another. "Our scarlet bride. He has such plans for you. Well, not you, but the one who was originally meant for the ring. But, we're sure you'll do in a pinch." Yellow eyes and a long, syllabic chuckle. "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Mister Sunshine. Indulgent soul of the Ultimate Darkness."
She is turned around. Shadows surround the one holding her by her shadowed wrist, his other hand working the second button. Another hand cups her chin, another hand working its way up her skirt. "Of course, if you are our bride, what comes must be the consummation. What do you say to that?"
Pria smiles. She takes a slow breath. And looks him directly in his runny yellow eyes.
"Heaven Thunder Hammer."
And she slams her fist into the demon's chest, and sends him flying.

CLARIFICATION TIME:
Sidereal Martial Arts can only be learned by Celestial Exalts only.
On paper, only Sidereals can learn it.
A Solar with permission and a mentor may learn Sidereal Martial Arts (ST fiat)
Lunars may learn only with ST permission.
CELESTIAL GODS MAY NOT LEARN SMAs.
So no:
Pria may not learn an SMA.

Does she retain access to whichever SMA she knew while she was still a living Sidereal, though? Her situation is a bit unique, after all; I doubt many other Sidereals have ended up as Celestial Gods instead of either heading to Lethe when they die (like they're supposed to) or ending up as ghosts (which I'm sure a few have; for that matter, Ketchup probably stands a decent chance of leaving one when he snuffs it, unless he takes precautions first).

Did not know they could learn it as an Akuma. That sounds horrible, but then again much of the canon Lunar stuff is horrible. Coughcoughrapegoatcoughcough.horngeek said:
Did not know Alchies could at all. You are now imagining Iri.
With Borderline Kalaedoscopic Logic Style.
With the second-to-last charm.
Which turns them into a Primordial for a handful of actions.
So many hugs.

And that was how the heart of Tali exploded and she became a Abyssal!GreggHL said:
Alchemicals cannot. It is not something permitted by the Charm they have to install to learn any Martial Arts. Moreover, going by precedent, any attempt by an Alchemical to try to expand beyond it is far more likely to melt down their internal chakra circuits and mean they blow up.GreggHL said:
And that's not even getting started on the issues with Alchemical Martial Arts - namely the mechanics mean you have to be a fool to not be an Alchemical who uses MA, because bad design means they can get an unlimited number of combat Charms for the install cost of the MA Charm, while other Charms need slots and committed motes - so letting them learn SMA is silly from a mechanical perspective as well. Or the fact that most SMAs have essence requirements at E6+, which means an Alchemical can't learn them because they'd be a Colossus and thus have an incompatible body plan with the Sidereal-designed SMAs which assume that you're, you know, not a giant robot - and they can't invent their own SMAs.
