Green Sun, Black Shadows (CG/Exalted)

Of course, neither votes are closed.

Ok, thanks. Added a sentence about flashing the ID real quick and putting it away before they have a chance to inspect. Also fixed the issue pointed out by Humbaba. @the DragonBard - you may want to edit your vote to vote by name or just copy the edited vote into your vote, so you get the changes.

Regarding neither being closed, it's gonna be a pain to tally - people are currently voting on only the characters (including people who have already voted for a plan) Though it's a landslide as far as the characters go, and there's not really any alternative stunts being proposed either I suppose.

It isn't too much of a chore for me to count the old fashioned way for once, so don't worry.

Moreover, can someone tell me what does a "roll-off" means? I can't find it.

I can't look it up right now but my presumption is that it's a vs. between two applicable Charms with effects that are opposite of one another. For Assumption of Mu, in the example, Bob the Paranoid Slayer would get a roll of (Perception + Awareness + [Essence if specified by the Charm]) on his use of Insignificant Embers Intuition to get the real answer and John the puny Malefactor would roll (Manipulation + ...Larceny? Performance? [whichever you think is more appropriate] + Essence). If Bob gets the higher roll, he gets the true answer. If John rolls higher then Bob gets the "not" answer. In the event of a tie I don't know what happens, but generally speaking I'd presume the defender has an advantage and he 'wins' the roll-off.

I'm not familar with exalted specifically, but usually a roll off simply means the players of the two characters (or the player and the GM with an NPC) roll dice and whoever has a better score wins. The rolls may or may not have relevant skill bonuses applied.
 
So to prevent Suzaku from Exaltation it's important to not let him meet Euphemia.
I agree, while it may take some time after meeting her for him to change, I believe that it is better if we never give him the chance to do so. He already messed up our plans with just the Lancelot, I don't want to see what he can do as a Solar as well.

It's meta-gaming though, IC we have no idea where's Euphemia at the moment (unless more spying).
However if we can contact Suzaku and put him somewhere not-Japan then we can safely ensure the meeting would not happen, for now of course. Encouraging him to do "My life is nothing and I will work to death." is something I doubt Lelouch would come up with.

I think Suzaku would be more likely to Exalt as a Lunar than a Solar. When he ultimately came up with something approaching a plan to actually help the Japanese people, it was "become Knight of One so I can get declared in charge of Area 11 so I can take care of them". Seems more a stewardship motivation than anything else.

Also, Suzaku is more of a follower than a leader. Yeah, he's a great warrior, but a leader of men he is not. At best he inspires by example, but even with that he doesn't get a lot of hero worship. He seems to drift from master to master until the end of the series, and even after he takes on Zero's mantle he's ultimately following Lelouch's plan and probably taking marching orders from Nunnally.

Euphemia on the other hand I could see Exalting as a Solar, probably as a Zenith or Eclipse caste. She's highly motivated to do the right thing, and she actually managed to convince canon Lelouch to go along with her kinder, gentler plan rather than continuing his violent rebellion. If that isn't worthy of a Solar Exaltation I don't know what it.

I definitely agree here. Lelouch has no IC reason to even suspect the two would meet, and depending on our actions with Clovis they might not unless Euphemia comes to Japan for some reason. Also, Lelouch wouldn't want Suzaku to be suicidal because Suzaku is a real friend to him, regardless of their differences in opinion, so at the very least he wouldn't encourage it.
 
[X] Option 2
[X] Option B

Wow, so much hate for Suzaku. What's wrong with him, he is a good chap. Only a bit misguided. Nothing that we can't eventually solve with the power of social-fu.

She can't exalt because she is crippled. Solar shards don't go for anyone that can't fight.

Are you thinking of Nunnally? Euphemia is the pink-haired love interest of Suzaku and Lelouch's half-sister, not the wheelchair bound full-sister. Anyways, as was mentioned a Solar Exaltation can fix something on Nunnally's level.

Wut? She is not. She has low stamina, hardly a disqualifier. (Not that being crippled disqualifies anyway, but that is another discussion)

Yeah, Lelouch would have been disqualified if that was the case. Now he's two dots of Stamina, whereas before he'd probably be something like one and a half dots. He'll probably not need remedial gym classes anymore.

To put it bluntly he's a hypocrite without realizing he was one.
can anybody explain what Malefactor and Scourge means?
Malefactor is cult leader and Scourge is assassin, for more details get yourself "Manual of the Exalted: Infernal".
Remember to throw away chap 1 and 2 when you finish it, you can always houserule.
