Green Sun, Black Shadows (CG/Exalted)

Reader mode
Gained:

Charm: Witness to Darkness
Intimacy: Erembour (Massive Crush)(Positive)

My Exalted lore is total shit, but if I'm right, then Lelouch just caused a Soul Piece of a Eldritch Dragon Demon-King to fall for him. Well DONE! Seriously this was freaking great man and our choices stacked beautifully!
 
Ugh, ponies. A little piece of me died, just now.


Anyways-

Hm... Are you sure it was Adorjan and not Hegra, Lelouch? :)

And wow, he's got his first crush! And on Erembour of all people. He's certainly aiming high, isn't he?

Erembour wears silken robes of silver and has flawless skin of deepest black. Her liquid eyes shimmer like the moon, and strands of glowing white hair twinkle amid her raven tresses. She carries a long silver horn curved like a mighty ram's, and a naked rat's tail sometimes peeks from the back of her robes. Torches and other ephemeral lights are instantly extinguished by her presence.

Summoning: (Obscurity 2/5) Sorcerers typically call Erembour into Creation to draw upon her powers over the night. Sometimes their goals are more venereal, however, as she is unquestionably one of the finest existing instructors in the arts of love. When Erembour enters the mortal world, thunder cracks overhead. That Which Calls to the Shadows cannot physically escape Malfeas without being summoned, but the music of herhorn sometimes drifts unbidden between the worlds with terrible consequence.

Motivation: To celebrate the darkness and oppose the plans of Ligier and the Unconquered Sun. Erembour has Intimacies for the things of night, including lovers in the dark, theft, murder, bats, owls, Dune People, creatures who live in lightless caverns and nighttime battles.

Oh man. Lelouch, you have no idea what you've gotten yourself into.

Girly. Very, very girly. This is the only possible way to describe the creature in front of you, beside ridiculous of course. It's vaguely shaped like a horse, but one drawn by a child, with pink fur and even pinker mane. The face and expression it is currently making are surprisingly human-like, too big eyes notwithstanding.

'What the FUCK is this?'

"Woah! I met many demons in my life, but this is just plain disturbing!" Great, even Seyrun is confused.

He then looks at the girl and bows. "Have a good day Lady Remondin."

"Thanks!" She chirps while the Anuhles help you back on your feet.

Huh, I had a suspicion that was what would happen...

Alexander89 said:
"Ouch!" And instantly receive a whacking under your chin.

"You lower yourself too much! It must be 15° before Citizens, and 30° before Unquestionables. Try again!"

Ignoring the pain you repeat the bow.

Wack!

"Ouch!"

"Don't bend your neck! What must move is your midriff! Again!"

Mentor 5? Man, we are just raking in the high profile Backgrounds today aren't we?

Alexander89 said:
And then everything turn black. You blink a few times, but the sudden darkness is so thick you can't even see your own hands. "Is something blocking Ligier?" You look up.

It's a dragon.

No, it's the shadow of a dragon.

You're wrong, it's the shadow of everything.

It's your shadow.

The Ebon Dragon, or rather one of his 3rd Circle souls.

The next post will signal the end of the stay in Malfeas. If you want to search contact with a Yozi to gains access to its Charmset, you must decide it now. The available Yozi are:
[X] Malfeas

We've already impressed him, so it should be relatively easy to secure his approval.

No, this means that we have a massive crush on her, not the other way around.
 
Ok, @Alexander89...

That. Was. AWESOME! I think this may be your best update to date. I cackled like a maniac and giggled like a schoolgirl, and that is not an exaggeration in any way.

1. OF COURSE Oramus is responsible for My Little Pony. It all makes sense now.
2. Insane Little Girl Mentor is Best Mentor.
3. Lelouch has a crush on Erembour!? LULZ!
4. Escaping from Adjoran into the sewers, making peace between the Rat King and the Nutcracker people (if that's the actual series of events), and taking shrooms. LULZ!


Anyways...

[X] Bring Kaguya with you

It just makes sense to bring her.

[X] Malfeas

Malfeas has some very useful Charms, and he seems like a Yozi we'd be very much able to convince to give our Charmset to. Lelouch has a good deal in common with him, after all. Also, his Excellency is quite the opposite of the ones we've got in some ways - it would allow us to act more boldly when needed, rather than with subtlety. It's far more ideal for combat, should we get into it.

[X] Bring Kaguya with you
If she's serious about uniting the cults into one megachurch (A thing I think particularly foolish), then she might help us negotiate a hand in Berengiere's trading cult.

Yozi:
[X] Mardukth
Zero is going to become a legend, who unites people with the tales of his deeds. Mardukth has several charms that enhance the perception and spread of legends, as well as empowering the one whom they are about. We can dip a little to grab a few:

Written Upon the Stone: Anyone who speaks his name around him builds a positive intimacy.
Legend-Carving Impressions: Those who witness his deeds remember them as even more glorious, doubling the effects of the relevant intimacy.
Larger Than Life: Simply learning about the Infernal builds an intimacy towards him.
Mythic Glory Wrought: Spending time with a group imposes a positive intimacy on everyone within it.

These will make Zero's legend spread like wildfire across all Japan, and then the world.

I believe this is from that Charmset if I've found the right thing:

What's In A Name?
Several of Mardukth's Charms require other beings to refer to him by name. For the Primordial himself, this includes "Mardukth" and any of his sobriquets. Any of these are acceptable options for those forced to speak the Primordial's name.

For those adopting Mardukth's power as their own, the name they force others to speak is the one the character most readily identifies with. A player character's name, for example, is the one defined on his character sheet. Later Mardukth Charms allow the character to expand his "name" to include various sobriquets as his legend expands. If his name is ever stripped away by his own Charms, these name-based powers become useless unless the character has acquired the Charms necessary to expand the definition of his name.


This means that it only applies to Lelouch's name as Lelouch, not Zero, until he gets the appropriate Charm to expand it:

Name: Lelouch vi Britannia
False Identities: Lelouch Lamperouge, Zero

I can't actually seem to find the Charm that allows you get get a sobriquets, but without that this Charm set is nearly useless to Lelouch because he is not operating as Lelouch vi Britannia - Mardukth is about openly and proudly declaring who he is to the world and making them love him for it, but Lelouch is hiding his Name and identity under a mask.

I look forward to making Heretical Charms that combine the Golden Years Tarnished Black chain with those

[X] Mardukth

Because he's literally THE Memetic awesome-guy. That's his shtick. If you could have the power of being Chuck Norris! Yozi, wouldn't you?

Consider the thematics of our patrons: paradox and lies, I'm sure that even if it didn't already exist somewhere, it'd be fairly straight forward to go about making a charm to do that.
 
To expand on what I just posted, would Mardukth actually respect Lelouch enough to grant him access to his Charms? Lelouch has been hiding under a false identity for seven years, and is now still hiding his identity under a mask. That is not what Mardukth is. He declares his Name loud and proud to the world, not hiding himself. Do you think he'd respect Lelouch?

Remember that the Yozi we visit doesn't have to give access to the Charms they have just because we ask.

I think this is the best chance Lelouch has of getting him to open up his charmset:
  • He just became leader of the althing
  • He just openly and proudly declared his true name before his peers
  • He hasn't yet developed a reputation as Zero, more just a tiny cult
  • His plan involves loudly proclaiming his identity to the world at the moment when it would most aid the Yozi and hurt Brittania
  • His plan involves Japan proudly and openly worshipping the Yozi
  • His actions before he Exalted were those of a mortal, and thus can be argued to be as irrelevent as a mortal.

Note that we clearly intend to go on and about hiding our identity as we act; our shiny new artifact mask is proof of that.

Pony hell worst Best Hell. Or best Worst Hell. Undecided.

[X] Bring Kaguya with you

I don't know enough about the particular charm sets to make a legitimate vote there.

1. Lelouch is still identifying himself as Zero to others, such as the Demons earlier. He's identified himself to the people he's working closely with, but that's it. Four people. Mardukth identifies himself to the entire world.
2. Even if Lelouch's reputation as Zero is small now, Lelouch's reputation as Zero is the one he intends to increase.
3. We made a shiny new artifact to further hide our identity.
4. I'm not sure why you think his actions as a mortal would be irrelevant. Lelouch's mortal fate is what attracted the Ebon Dragon's attention to him. Clearly what noteworthy mortals doe matters.

I can really see two ways we'll get Mardukth to acknowledge Lelouch as worthy of his Charms. Either Lelouch would need to come out as Lelouch vi Britannia to the whole world and operate as such (which is something we could hypothetically do at some point) OR he could come to truly identify himself as Zero as being his true name.
