Green Sun, Black Shadows (CG/Exalted)

Reader mode
This means the experiment to utilize SV to bring about a subconscious gestalt is working. Most excellent, stage 3 can now begin.

I mean nothing to see here:drevil:
 
If I did my math right (which I almost assuredly didn't) then the odds for 5 people picking the 5 correct choices to fill out a circle without planning it out beforehand are 1 : 3125.

(5 people picking from 5 options with only 1 correct result = 1 : 5^5​)
 
Also added Demon Grafts. Nothing is wasted in the Demon City, nothing: this means there is no one more green-friendly than demons! :p

It's a standard part of Infernal Exaltation - you get your youth back and you cease aging until the day you die. Rakshata should have been made young as well, though Cytherea might have had influence on that since she's the oldest Primordial and maybe wanted her Champion to be a bit older looking.

More like I needed her to be recognizable. Calling author's privileges here.

So improbable...only an Exalt could have accomplished it!
 
I very nearly made Akio a Malfeas-favouring Defiler, purely for the irony factor. I'm now glad I didn't.

Earthscorpion's Version is the winner. The Deceiver's Stone will be changed as appropriate. I will start writing the post tomorrow, but I will probably finish it by Saturday.

If you have one, can you add an image? To make things easier for me I need in every sheet an image, apparent age and real age.

With that said: g'night :V

I realize that. I was just giving you narrative justification for the difference. Or maybe Rakshata always looked a bit more mature for her age and just aged well going into her late twenties.

I'm looking for one. I couldn't go hunting for it when I wrote it up. I'll let you know when I've added one. EDIT - Done.

@Enjou, regarding Lian, I'm not sure the 'flower growing out of her head' thing is a -0 trait. That seems more like something that would be more like -1, since it is obvious and doesn't do anything.

I suppose what I'm trying to say is 'what made you decide to go with that as opposed to something else'?

Yeah but, I'm pretty sure anyone that spends a lot of time around her will figure out that she's always wearing the exact same flower, now matter where she goes or what the appropriate dress code for the event or area is.

I went with the option because it's in theme with Metagaos (All Hunger Blossom) and her own personal theme - she's got a lotus theme going.

As for it being the same flower each time, keep in mind that it's alive. It'll lose and regrow petals over time, so it'll look subtly different every now and then.

As for her using it in every social situation, well, I don't think she'll attend many funerals, and it works pretty much anywhere else. She can also change up the accompanying decorations as well. And she can just say she really likes the flower decoration as a personal favorite if anyone bothers to comment. Most people aren't going to complain about an Appearance 5 woman's choice of decoration.

The solution is to eat them before they realize.

She can also rip it off or prune it if needed. Though this is painful, it would give her a way to remove it if needed. Also it would grow back.
 
All these cool characters makes me wonder: Will Alexander be managing their XP and growth, or will that be up to us to earn through omakes and the like? I'm good with either one, but the latter has potential for abuse.
 
Ooh, Infernal Hospitality Prayer Strip seems really nifty. We should get one of those as a Plan B in case the Britannians get the drop on us. An Infernal Gate Key could work as well, though that's kinda more of a 'Plan F'. A Weapon Ward against guns or Knightmare Frames would be pretty hilarious too.

The benefit is that you, as an Infernal, are basically at war with the entire world (in canon Exalted).

Hmm. Fair enough. I honestly have a hard time remembering that the designers intended for the Infernals to be played as actual villains. I know it's obvious, but at the same time I usually end up viewing them as the 'higher difficulty for better ultimate rewards' option, where everybody hates you, your bosses are nuts and your powers don't always align with what would be helpful.

Well, my dude works with Taakozoka as well, so you can take Isidoros if you want and i will change mine.

Thanks! That's really cool of you. I didn't mean to make you change your character, it's simply that Isidoros is kinda relevant to the character schema. I'll post my character intro just as soon as I can get this first person perspective to stop kicking my ass.

You're only a villain if you choose to be. The Realm is not some moral entity; it's more like feudal China, where peasants counted their income in bowls of rice while the ruling class lived in a segregated palace. It's horribly corrupt and largely ineffective due to the lack of central leadership. The mortals of a given settlement care more about who is keeping them alive than a noble family who owns their land.

The rest is kinda true, though. Infernals are few and far between and have a rough schedule to keep, but Hell-support makes up for an awful lot. Being able to head to a safe-ish place and relax in your private manor before heading out to burn down a castle really helps the morale.
 
So does anyone have any thoughts on which weapon we'd want? I would either go for a Hellcaster or a pair of Six-Heart Stormshooters, as either would be good for using magic bullets (which I imagine we'll have demons living inside our Fourth-Soul Devil Domain cranking out).

Of course, we'll likely be able to get more guns later, and mundane ones as well. I would like to get an entire armory of stuff inside our Fourth-Soul Devil Domain.
