So...why is Lelouch discouraging outright worship of him in a school which has a history of producing Dragonblooded?
It just seems counterproductive to me.

At a guess, it's the form of worship more than anything else.
He's not used to having fangirls, or at least ones who are this... exuberant about their fandom. It's a minor part of the IC reason I'm not having him publicly rejoice at Suzaku being alive and giving him a hug then and there. They'll get ideas. Horrible, horrible ideas. Lelouch has been around Milly long enough to know about that kind of thing. (they probably will eventually anyways, but no need to rush Lelouch's suffering)

I finished updating Oramus Charmset with the other Charms. I decided to remove Sublectic Beast Invocation (Sublectic isn't a real word, and I discovered it was copied from a Kimbery's Charm) and added Surprise Vision Defense, created by Enjou.
Now, I tried to organize the Charms as best as I could, but I need second opinions.
You may notice that Crimson King Shintai has the Sorcerous keyword. It isn't a error: due to its BIG cost compared to other Shintai Charms, it enjoys a similar condition to Cecelyne's Greater Shintai of the Endless Desert, not requiring to commit motes and staying in that form all the time

Looks good to me, though I think the possessive < 's > got removed from the end of a few Charm names when you copied stuff, like Impresario's Sure Hand.

I did it. I thought like this were more Charm-ish.
Good work! It will be good to see it added to charm tree.
I have few observations though:
Impossible Dragon's Constitution - good charm, but slighly less 'graceful' description than usual. Not that I could do any better. I'm simply comparing it to other charms.
Eating Raksha seems a bit out of place from narrative point of view. This type of cannibalism should be important act, with serious consequences, large benefits, and special charm that would permit is. I would see eating/absorbing Raksha (them being essentially living dreams) as a way to enrich Infernal own internal world, (or soul). Long lasting consequences. Here, it is described as an byproduct for more general Wyld constitution charm. Not to mention, that usualy 'eating' Raksha flesh will not really harm it and even 'death' is tricky concept with them.
In general, it may be better to change eating all wyld tainted materials to eating absorption of wyld energies for additional essence charge. Full "eat everything" could be moved to "Living Paradox"
Idea for a charm - Oramus is at home in Wyld. Regeneration of Essence can be increased the more Chaos is around, and weeker reality is. It requires conscious action (in Waypoint charms allows to shape it to signity absorption - eating, inhaling, drinking).
Living Paradox - here I'm reminded of one of stories where any wounds on main character opened to prison of lovecraftian monsters. Something like that could make a nice defensive follow-up charm. Tentacles, that extends from impossible space within - more of them, more wounded Infernal is. Follow-up charm from that could do something usefull with newly-created apendages.
Plus, 'eat anything' should fit there.
Flesh of Horrible Hallucinations - it is unclear what exactly charm means. First time I've read it, I understood it as a way to cure derangements. Shift them to mutations, and after a scene, they are gone.
BTW - if XP or health cost was added, it could make a nice charm. Wyld, mutations and altered states of mind are domain od Oramus after all. I think if any Yozi could cure derangements, it would be him.
Wyld Dragon's Breath - nice idea! Description could be a bit more graceful (again, I admit, that I could not do any better) - it's mainly phrases such as 'breath attack'. As for charm itself - it is very strong charm. Essence 3 usually does not have this type of range or damage. It is also very unexpensive - 4 or 8 motes for something comparable to "Death of Obsidian Butterflies", but impossible to dispel, instant and 'combo-ok'. BTW - area is not exactly specified. "Essence x 10 yards" does not tell if it is path, cone or sphere.

The Devourer of Fiction
Hmm...
***
At some point in the near-future...
Lelouch: There has be a way to make C.C. talk about her past and motivations, or at least make her slip unintentionally some of that information. Unknowns like her hanging around might mean I get blindsided by something at the worst possible moment.
Seyrun: But how, Boss? That woman holds her secrets thight inside. You might succeed if you turn all your attention into worming her secrets out, but aren't you a little too busy to do that?
Grace: How about bribing her, Father? She seems to have quite the obsession with pizza, for some reason.
Lelouch: No, she is not that easy. If I don't bind her with an oath again, all I will get in return will be half-truths and outright lies, through which I will have to slowly sift. And with the number of pizza she daily inhales if she can, it means that to truly bribe her I would have to order such an enormous amount of them that it would be an oddity even for the pizza services. And if her habit is well known, it could be used to trace her, even if the chance of them actually noticing such detail is small.
Muse: The answer to that is easy, Papa! Just make them by yourself. It would be much harder to trace back just the basic ingredients. And as a side benefit, no ordinary pizza can compete with those made by the hand of the Chosen of Oramus, especially if you use my power!
Lelouch: ...You raise a good point. It would also be a good opportunity to test it on myself the first time in a safe environment. Lets see...
*Montage of Lelouch gathering ingredients from various shops and making bulk orders for some*
*Scene change to kitchen at Lelouch's residence*
C.C.: ...What are you doing, boy? Those ingredients, are they for-
Lelouch: Ah, C.C.! Good, I was just about to start cooking our dinner. Can you go tell Nunnaly and Sayoko that it might take a bit longer than usual, because I'm preparing to make quite a lot of them. Pizzas, that is.
C.C.: *Eyeing Lelouch suspiciously, even as small amount of drool droops out of her mouth* What is your game? I won't swear an another oath to tell you all of my secrets. Not even for something utterly delicious as pizza.
Lelouch: Relax, these ones are on house. I just decided to save a bit money, as you otherwise will empty my public account at some point if you keep ordering take-out junkfood every day.
Muse: Wait, what? Weren't you going to use those delicious-yet-to-be-born prayers to the Great Oramus as a bargaining chip slash hostage to ferret out her secrets?
Grace: Be calm, my dear sister. I'm sure that is just the first part in his plan. Now hush, he needs to concentrate on what that green-haired witch is saying.
C.C.: Fool. Even "just" take-out pizza is sweeter than the ambrosia of Gods. I would know, as I once managed to steal a sip of it. Though it comes as a very close second. But I forgive you, seeing the favor you are about to grant me.
Lelouch: Hmph. Are you just going to stand there, needling me with backhanded compliments? Because the longer you keep distracting me, the more time you have made me waste that could have been spent on cooking.
C.C.: ...Very well, you win this round, boy. *C.C. exits the kitchen*
Lelouch: Now, back to work. And Grace, you were correct about this being just a part of my plan, but I would like to keep it a surprise for the audience till the last moment. Muse, if you may?
Muse: One golden moment of true inspiration, coming right up!
Lelouch: Oh, that feels quite fuuuunnnyyyyy...
*From the living room, Sayoko and Nunnaly look worriedly towards the kitchen, while C.C. just raises an eyebrow, as positively insane laughter echoes from there, followed by loud noises of various cooking implements being used with great vigor*
Sayako: *Worriedly shouting to the kitchen* Master Lelouch, are you alright?
Lelouch: QUITE FINE SAYOKO! I JUST HAD A REVELATION ABOUT THE TRUE NATURE OF PIZZA! IT TRULY IS THE MOST SUBLIME OF ALL SUBSTANCES, AND WE SHALL DINE WITH ITS DIVINE ESSENCE TONIGHT, ASCENDING WITH THAT ACT TO A GREATER STATE OF EXISTENCE! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
C.C.: *Quirks her eyebrow* Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. Actually more than he usually is. Now, how did you say I have to fold this to make a crane?
*Nunnaly and Sayoko sweatdrop in perfect synchrony*
*Back in the kitchen*
Lelouch: Yes, yes, I understand now. If I use this instead of that and make it slightly less thick, not only it will bring the flavor out better, but cook faster...
*Later*
Lelouch: Too slow, too slow! I you small gods want that oven you reside in still be here instead of the bottom of the ocean in the next morning, I suggest you work with something resembling an effort. And no skipping on the quality.
*The sizzling in the oven intensifies*
Lelouch: Much better.
*Even more later on*
C.C.: *Shouting from the dinner table* Are they ready yet?! Because I'm starvi-
Lelouch: DON'T BREAK MY CONCENTRATION NOW, WOMAN! I HAVE ALMOST REACHED THE PINNACLE OF TRUE UNDERSTANDING!
C.C.: ...Excuse me?
C.C.: IT WILL BE A REALLY GOOD PIZZA!
*Much later on*
Lelouch: *Staggers out of the kitchen to the dinner table, before collapsing on his chair* Ahem. The dinner is ready. Sorry about the outburst, I just got a little... Caught up in the cooking.
Nunnally: *Laughs a little bit nervously* Its nothing, big brother, just... are you sure you are alright?
Lelouch: Nothing serious, just a little bit exhausted. Now Sayoko, could you please get them? I would help otherwise, but I literally can't lift my hands yet even if I try.
Sayoko: Of course, Master Lelouch.
*Various pizzas are laid to the table, each with unique toppings; The amount of drool that is escaping from C.C.'s mouth increases steadily as the scents reach her nose*
Lelouch: Now, its still quite hot, so don't start just-
C.C.: Iwth's hopth! Bhuth sho ghood! Hopht! Bhuth sho ghood!
Lelouch: ...Or you could just start scarfing them down your mouth, and burn your tongue and not be able to taste it properly. Oh wait, with her regeneration, her tongue probably heals faster than the pizza can burn it.
Nunnally: Now now, C.C.. *Blows on her small slice* The food isn't going anywhere, so you should just properly enjoy it. *Bites down* Oh my. Its, its... *Takes a bigger bite*
Lelouch: Nunnally?
Nunnaly: With every *chomp* bhithe, the thasthe ghets *chomp* bhetter ,*chomp* yeth shubthly dhiffherhenth *gulp*. Big brother, you try it too! You made it after all!
Sayoko: *Eating with tears falling down her face* I'm not worthy. I'm not worthy!
Lelouch: *Sweatdrop* ...I think this might have been a bit of an overkill.
*After some time, and several ---*
C.C.: *Rubbing her ballooned-out belly* Ahhh... I haven't felt such true bliss like this for ages. Why don't you just forget this silly rebellion of yours and just start a pizzeria? Everyone in the world will declare you their Emperor before a week has gone by.
Lelouch: Hmph. I don't want to be declared the Emperor of Pizza, thank you very much. Besides, you would just freeload the place and eat anything we would make.
C.C.: Tsch! Found out.
Lelouch: Speaking of freeloading, I would like to now hear everything that you know that might be useful or otherwise important to me.
C.C.: Haah? Boy, didn't you specifically state that I wouldn't owe you anything for this?
Lelouch: Of course not, of course not! I was just asking nicely, you don't have to answer!
C.C.: ...But? There is no way you don't have some kind of angle to this.
Lelouch: Oh nothing. Just... Those pizzas were mighty tasty, weren't they? Even if I say so myself.
C.C: What are you-?
Lelouch: Some might say that they were so good that anything else like that will be just... less than it used to be.
C.C.: ...No. No. You wouldn't- You couldn't!
Lelouch: While before the succulent cheese melted in your mouth, now everything is just pale shadows and tasteless ashes before the memory of today. It would be a real shame if you didn't get to eat anything like ever again. Or something even better, as my skill hasn't reached anywhere near its pinnacle.
C.C.: YOU-! YOU MONSTER! DEVIL!
Lelouch: Hahaha! Considering my nature is that really a surprise that I- Wait, what are you-?
Sayoko and Nunnally, in their pizza-induced comas, didn't wake up that night to the desperate cries of Lelouch, didn't see beaten up giant spiders skittering out of their residence with fear-fueled haste, or hear the roaring cries with different variations of "I WILL KEEP HITTING YOU UNTIL THE PIZZA COMES OUT!" or so.
***
And thus came to end the tale of Lelouch, the Iron Rainbow Chef. And now that is over, I have to ask: why do omakes always start ballooning out from that one short scene that you have in mind? Does this happen to everybody?

A Penguin Flailing Against The Keyboard Of Life.
You got a laugh because I actually didn't see that particular ploy coming. Well played.
1. The primary motivation for creating this Charm is to make it easier to survive in the Wyld, so being able to eat Wyld tainted stuff and Raksha are ready food sources there.
2. Eating Raksha having long-lasting consequences would not fit a Primordial. Remember that this is a Charm that belongs to a Yozi, and Yozis are greater beings than Raksha and embody specific concepts. If eating a Raksha could change what Oramus was then he wouldn't be Oramus, as the narratives of the Raksha contain concepts that don't necessarily mesh with his own.
3. As far as it being fitting thematically, Oramus is a dragon according to his own self-image. In the narratives of the Raksha he's a big scary monster who comes into their villages and wrecks them, burns their knights, and eats their princesses. It's not cannibalism because he's not a Raksha.
4. Generally speaking eating Raksha for an Infernal is easier if they're the shaped kind. The unshaped kind would need to be shaped into something to be eaten, or another Charm would be needed to make it so they could be consumed more easily.
See the Charm Surprise Vision Defense mentioned. It basically does that as a method of deterring or counterattacking - wound the Infernal with a surprise attack and you get countered by something odd. Could be anything from a clawed hand, a swarm of exploding bees, or anything else, really. It's totally random, weird, and should be impossible, but it happens anyways because Oramus is all about that kind of thing.
No, it doesn't. The first Charm is the start of changing your biology. It makes your body more accustomed to eating Wyld stuff using Shaping, among other things. Living Paradox furthers the change, suffusing your body with Pure Chaos to fill it with impossibilities.
The first time you read it is the correct interpretation. Many Oramus Charms involve giving yourself Derangements, and this Charm is the means by which you can cure them.
Writing graceful Charms is hard.
Anyways, it's a stream of fire (Essence) yards wide, as it says in the Charm. Basically a path.
Cost could be changed, though I'll note that Death of Obsidian Butterflies has a much larger area of effect (100 yards by 30 yards by 10 yards) and can potentially deal more damage. (this Charm tops out at 10L, whereas Butterflies is 8L + successes in raw damage) This is more comparable to Dragon's Suspire, which is 5m, 1wp. Maybe tack a cost of 1 WP onto it?

Strictly speaking, they give nothing. However, the souls can be catalyzed into second circles through a charm, which requires that they be refracted through an intimacy. The Intimacy should be chosen when they start getting characterization rather than when they become second circles. So his TED soul could represent his fear of being discovered by Brittania, and his Oramus soul his ambition to create a new world order.
I would rather not link them to an Intimacy by default. I think it's better if they get some initial characterization based on appropriate aspects of Lelouch's character as filtered by the Charm like Alexander proposes, and then develop them towards being suited for being materialized with a particular Intimacy or set of Intimacies. That way you're not forced to use a particular soul for a particular Intimacy, but set it at the time of summoning.
I also don't think it's supposed to be in the Charm design that your sub-souls die if you lose an Intimacy while they're residing inside of you, or at least not before they are let out into the material world for the first time and linked to an Intimacy, but I could be wrong. Given that you can force a sub-soul back into yourself with a touch, this seems to me to be designed as a way to allow the player to plan an Intimacy loss (through a Charm or just an event that would cause the Intimacy to cease to be) without having to also murder one of their sub-souls in the process. @EarthScorpion could probably clarify on this matter.
notanautomaton

The first part is right. They are not linked to an intimacy by default. However, they should be characterized based on what intimacy they're going to 'grow in to,' because using an intimacy that doesn't reflect that soul's characterization would be the equivalent of mind-rape. And if the intimacy goes away, the soul dies. And if the soul dies, the intimacy goes away. So if you make a soul out of 'I want to survive,' which is then killed, you don't care about survival anymore.
Before a soul is 'catalyzed' the destruction of the intimacy doesn't destroy them, though the soul should change based on what new intimacy it's aligned with.

And for fun:
Balinor, the Po soul
Lurking in the depths of Lelouch's soul is a what looks a first glance to be a great serpent with the head of a lion. Upon later examination, you will find that the serpent retains it's forlimbs, as it is not a serpent, but a dragon. Balinor was once whole and mighty, roaring it's challenge for all to hear, but it has been mutilated. Now it sits in the darkness, fearful of what the light may bring, willing to do nothing but protect what little it has left and take revenge when it doesn't fear capture. Balinor will fade into shadows, mimic it's prey, attack from ambush, and other dishonorable tactics, for it has discarded it's honor with it's lost wings. However, should it be backed into a corner, enemies will find that Balinor's fangs are still sharp, and the venom of it's breath is still hot.
__________________________________________
On another note, @Alexander89, would you be willing to consider reworking the intimacy system to be more like the Kerisgame version? In which rather than having a set number of intimacies that push each other off, you have an unlimited number of Intimacies rated at different levels (from 'this guy is nice' to 'I value this as much as life.') I feel that it makes for more nuanced characters, and allows us to maintain our grudges (Mom's death, Britannia, Chuck), our friendships (Milly, Nunnaly) and our goals (Destroy Brittania, world peace), without them pushing each other away.

It's not about if a part is right or wrong - we're talking about how we think Alexander should handle it, remember? I think it's better not to have a sub-soul that is inside of the Infernal linked to a particular Intimacy, and then you can link a soul to an appropriate Intimacy later on when you call them out into the world. Generally speaking you'd want to use suitable souls for suitable Intimacies, but you don't necessarily have to - I think it's good to give the player choice in the matter, rather than the storyteller forcing one of their souls to be linked to an Intimacy like you're thinking they should, and the players can deal with the consequences of their decisions like always. And so what if it's mind-rape to make an unsuitable soul linked to a particular Intimacy? Mind-rape happens in Exalted all the time - lots of Charms qualify for that. We literally have a Charm that drives people insane just by talking at them! Exalted doesn't have any inherent morality that says that mind-rape is bad, or any objective morality of any kind.
Also as an aside, "survival" is a terrible example of an Intimacy for this discussion - pretty much all characters want to survive without such an Intimacy. Do you see an Intimacy like that on Lelouch's sheet? No, but that doesn't mean he doesn't care if he lives or dies. Intimacies are things you care about more than general things, but they aren't the be all and end all of what you care about. Lelouch cares about Rivalz as a friend to an extent, but he doesn't care nearly as much about him as he does Suzaku. Someone with an Intimacy for their own survival cares more about their own survival than a normal person does.

This is right. I think the only place we differ is that I think that catalyzing a soul irrevocably links a soul to an intimacy, while you think it doesn't.
I'm partially going off the Kerisgame rewrite, where everyone has 'Survive' as a five dot intimacy.
I was just thinking, Elloge is the Sphere of Speech, and seems to be the Yozi of Stories, while Oramus is most chaotic of the Yozi.
What if, there were Heretical Charms for the two of them, that granted powers, similar to, but great than those of the Raksha.
Kind of like their Graces transformed into Infernal level charms, thus, more powerful.

Hmm. Wasn't there some sort of charm in which the Infernal whispers a name into their hand and then uses it as a ranged explosive weapon? I remember something about that.

a random thought, somone mentioned that shirley might exalt as lelouch's lunar mate right? what if she exalted as a lunar, but as a twist was the mate of another member of our circle? Personally I think that might be a bit more interesting than simply having the main characters canon love interest be there lunar mate.
Kaguya- oh my god it would be adorable. Definitely not romantic love, but I can see them having a close sisterly bond. possibly with an ongoing argument over which one gets to be the big sister. Shirley is older but Kaguya exalted first and is already a major political player. The fact that they are both interested in lelouch would be interesting, either as a point of contention (and a source of drama.) or something they treat as a good natured competition.(much to lelouch's confusion/dismay)
Akito- probably romantic love, and probably healthier than pursuing lelouch. I know relatively little about Akito, but from what I can tell his issues are not the kind to really get too much in the way of any relationships, or drag others down. They would probably end up as a battle couple.
Rakshata- almost certainly not romantic love. most likely a mentor student relationship. Most likely shirley would either be Rakshata's protegee in the lab, or a treasured assistant who handles the paperwork.
Milly- probably romantic, I mean its Milly. This would be the most interesting one in my opinion. I can see milly going head over heels upon finding her literal soulmate, so the fact that she's been stapling bits of Adorjan to her soul would probably come up. The impulses (acted on or not) would probably be our circle first obvious sign that there powers do in fact have serious mental effects. Depending on how that gets resloved, it could serve as either a chilling reminder of the doom of madness awaiting us, or a heartwarming proof that through force of will it is possible to partake of the yozis power and remain sane.

Most Yozi charms don't actually screw with your head directly (though they can still change you via conditioning if they require specific situations to use), and the one Milly has at the moment is actually fairly mild as they go; essentially, it just means she chooses the emotions she feels rather than having them naturally. Unless she goes into Adorjan's mental charm tree (unlikely, in my opinion), she's not going to end up yandere crazy.
