Green Sun, Black Shadows (CG/Exalted)

You can make a new Stunt if you like, to regain more motes. The next roll is another Intelligence+War to see how well you do against Britannia.

Would this work?

STUNT: In the cockpit of his Sutherland, Lelouch twirled the black queen in his fingers as he thought of what to do. He was elated when his spies reported that Suzaku lived, but the discovery that he'd been selected to pilot a rather powerful prototype Knightmare Frame was worrying. He had wisdom commensurate with military commanders much more experienced than himself, and realized he'd have to adjust his plan accordingly. But for now, the terrorists had put their desperate faith in him and the enemy had made a foolish move. Slamming the queen down onto the board, he gave the order. "Q-1, spring the trap."
 
I thought Exaltations didn't mind Mutations, as long as they didn't grant Immortality, or make you too inhuman.

Well, to be fair, having Geass is a first step towards getting Immortality - you just need to use it enough or have it long enough and then kill someone with a Code, and then you're immortal. But other than that I imagine it's just a special exception for balance and narrative.

No sorry, you can't decide what the spiders report.

I consulted the Scroll of Heroes, and Mutations are converted into extra Xp.

So I found this:

[Exalted] Szoreny, the Silver Forest

Need refining, but does this Szoreny synerge well with Cecelyne and Malefactor?
 
Ok, @Alexander89, another attempt...

STUNT: In the cockpit of his Sutherland, Lelouch twirled the black queen in his fingers. The terrorists had put their desperate faith in him, and they would be rewarded with victory. His sudden and unexpected reversal of the situation had shattered the expectations of the Britannians, and looking at the map and seeing their movements he could only wonder if he had driven them mad if they would make such a foolish move. Slamming the queen down onto the board, he gave his orders. "Q-1, spring the trap."

Also, please update the First Excellency on the character sheet - it's easier to reference it that way.

[Exalted] Szoreny, the Silver Forest

Just going over the First Excellency and what I remember of those charms, yeah, I think that would work. I think Kaguya could still fit this combo as well as the other one I suggested.

Well, Exalts can become immortal (except for Sidereals), they just can't start out like that.
At least what I read said they can't.

It depends on the Exalt type. It's not really a universal, as I understand it, or at least not without cost.

Green Sun Princes can become immortal by taking (Yozi) Cosmic Principle (why you'd want to is beyond me) or becoming a Devil-Tiger.
Solars normally live up to about 5,000 years, and you can altar yourself in such a way as to be immortal, but you'll probably be less human because of it and your Charms won't work as well since they're designed to work in the hands of a human.
Lunars normally live up to 3,000 years of active life, but they can hibernate and time spent doing that doesn't count towards the total. They could achieve immortality, but it involves becoming a Chimera and they'll probably be a freaky inhuman monster in mind as well as body due to that.
Abyssals and Alchemicals are immortal by default, the former because they're effectively undead and the latter because they're robots that don't have biological aging processes.

Zero just ain't zero with the number zero in his name. Having Seven is just going to confuse people. People could think you're from Area 7 or you are lucky. The first one is bad because the Japanese are racist. The lucky interpretation is bad because it makes potential recruits think you rely on luck.

@Alexander89, A few minor corrections for the update:

"Sure. Look there to the right." You do, and the Factsphere reveals some strange symbols draw with chalk on a wall. "That's a ward against ghosts. I don't know what possessed humans to live in a place that's halfway to be a Shadowland, but wards like those are the sole reason Hungry Ghosts don't eat them during the night."

to be a Shadowland -> to being a Shadowland

It turns out very well. Not only the spiders encounter groups of Knightmares almost immediately and kill the pilots without problems, but all the Sutherlands are armed with the weapons there are. They must have been owned by high-tanked nobles.

high-tanked -> high-ranked

"This is a strictly reconnaissance." You tell the seven. Why do you feel a vague sense of approval for that? "Stay dematerialized all the time and don't engage for any reason. If you think someone spot you, retreat. If you see or hear something you deem important the one who did must immediately come to report to me. After an hour passed you retreat, no matter what happened."

someone spot you -> someone has spotted you

'I suppose there is a why to see dematerialized spirits?'

there is a why -> there is a way

Now though, you spring your trap. From the shadows, your own Knightmare gestures for your minions to attack. Screams can be heard from the Britannian soldiers as demons slay and devour them. You level your own weapon and gun down the footsoldiers.

No typos or anything, but you might want to add Lelouch actually firing the weapon at the end of this to kill the footsoldiers.

"Oh, sure." You reply in a mocking tone before gesturing to the dead soldiers. "I'm a Britannia, and I just killed my compatriots that were about to kill you so that I could bait you into a trap."

I'm a Britannia -> I'm a Britannian
 
Exaltations attach to the soul, yes? If you want them to be incompatible with Geass, it is pretty straightforward to just suggest a Geass/Code is attached to the soul too, in such a way that the resulting structure is longer compatible with the Exaltation. Could be incompatible in both directions or just one.
