Green Sun, Black Shadows (CG/Exalted)

I don't think the Yozis have any intention of replacing the gods with a new creature. The gods couldn't have done anything had Autobot not turned on them. Most likely they'll just kill the existing gods after they suffer long enough and make new ones to replace them. Or just keep having the gods do their jobs and then make them suffer more while they do it.
Either way, a lot of suffering will be involved.

Could we get Raksha summon a demon to teach us Hellfire Ballet? Also, how hard is it to steal Charms/spells?

Can't we just VEE it? I mean you know who has it right?
Is that the Fiend's ability to steal powers?
 
[2nd September

"Lelouch?"

"Quiet!" You whisper to Suzaku. "What do you want?"

"What, exactly, are we doing here?" She whispers back, Rivalz nodding to express his own interest in the answer to said query.]

Found our future wife. And a typo.

Love Despite Death (GSP Eila Skye by veekie)
Feeling pretty unsatisfied with the writing(kind of wooden), but up she goes since I'm out of free time.

---
Eila was a soldier. A bodyguard to be precise, one who could travel as part of her brother's entourage unremarked and provide a final line of defense, one which could not be infiltrated or subverted.

She had failed.

Eila struggled beneath the rubble, staring blankly at the burning ruins of the room where Alex had just gone in alone to negotiate with the dissident leaders. He is dead. Soon she would be too, numb below the waist, and the fallen wall beyond her strength to lift, and the locals were like as not to blame her for what happened to their leaders.

The sounds of burning approach, as a tentacled mass of snakes and spiders slinks into view, shaking off clinging flames as it approaches her where she lay helpless. Eila pulls out her knife from where she lay pinned, determined to make a last stand, broken spine or not, "Whatever you are, I'm not going to just give up. Come at me monster. Do your worst"

The monster paused as the skittering and churning writhed where it stood, watching the light glint off her knife, "Spirited girl. I am not here to slay you, but to tell you the truth, and to make you an offer."

At her wary glare, the creature sighs and continues, "Your loyalty is commendable, but misplaced. Know you this, your lords have made your brother an example, his death allowing them to justify hunting down every one of the brave fools who continue to resist their rule, and to unite the resistance under the most aggressive leaders who remain while the ones who are most needed lie dead. The bomb was Britannian, as was the one who carried it to it's end."

"Impossible. They would never stoop to..."

"You would not live to learn otherwise, Eila. Unless, you take up my Lady Adorjan's offer. Life, power, revenge. Freedom."

"I'll take it."

The shroud of vermin falls away as a large purple lizard leapt for her. And then all was fire.

---

Eila, no.

"They offered me freedoom to pursue my wishes. Alex lives. I'm going with him."

The Yozis would not be pleased to see you working alongside the dead.

"I. Don't. Care. They want me, they've GOT to get Alex on their side first. I promised I'm with him, whatever happens."

He doesn't even answer to that name anymore!

BOOM!

The monster dog literally flies outside, landing on all four before standing up and roaring, blood flowing from when you hit it above the eye and hindering its vision.

The two Knightmares seem to hesitate, as if they can't believe what they are seeing.

"KILL THE FUCKING DOG!" You shout into the radio. "SHOOTING FIRST, SHOCK LATER!!!"
Unlike normal Exalts, Lelouch doesn't have Limit Break, Torment or anything like that. He suffers from Bullshit Breaks. :p

But anyway, awesome update once again. We wanted to start out Lelouch's career with a bang, and oh boy, did we. But things likely won't be so easy in the future, even if the rewards will also presumably rise with the risks. As well as the strangeness, to which we only have dipped our toes into at this point.

I will look at the current XP plans more closely later, but I have few minor issues about the update I would like to ask about first:
You gulp before addressing the Anuhles. "Let's split up: take a different route and bring the Goremaul where Akio and Milly are hiding!"
This reveals information about our allies to the Lunar. Was this unintentional from your part, or did you decide that Lelouch was rattled enough to let it slip accidentally?
"...Lelouch. We've been friends for eight years. So believe me when I say I am seriously worried for your mental hea-"
Rivalz: Wait, didn't you meet the first time in that truck incident?

Of course, Rivalz might miss it, but still something that (very slightly) bothers me. I think Suzaku has at the least the wit to abort the sentence and switch what he was about to say, like "We've been friends for e- er, some amount of time now." and continue with something natural from that point on.

Don't take these as harsh criticism, as you are an absolute wonderful writer, and I love your work in this quest thus far. These kind of small things don't take nearly anything out of the enjoyment factor. But when you write with the speed you do, there can be accidents like these (if they were accidents at all). Not to mean you should write slower! As they can still be easily fixed later on, don't worry too much about them. And it might be you will make them less of them as you gain even more experience in writing.

So all in all, carry on as you have. I'm already eagerly waiting for the next update. :D
 
I wonder who this might be...?
:drevil:
And do dollars even exist in this universe, what with the Britannian empire and all? Given how backwards Britannia can be, they might not even have decimalised. Probably will have, even if it is just to make things easier for you.
Yes, it would make me happy if you allow me to use dollars, or something with a different name but it's essentially the same otherwise.
It doesn't say that we can train multiple things at the same time either, so I don't see why we should think that Essence raising is in a special category unless @Alexander89 says otherwise.
Sadly, Essence IS in a special category. One reason being that it's essential, especially for Infernals, for an Exalt in order to grow in power. Even the Charms of Cecelyne, who are all about "strong over weak", use as a measuring stick high or low Essence. As thus raising it IS supposed to be hard, harder than the rest.
Is that we can't cast that type of spells or that we resist them?
You can cast the spell normally, but those effects, that are normally included, aren't applied.
Can we get multiple Sorcerous Enlightenment of (Yozi)?
Yes.
Slight formating error, and what does this do?
Titanic Spawn Uncountable
Cost: -; Mins: Essence 3; Type: Permanent
Keywords: None
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisites: Any (Yozi) Mythos Exultant

The demonic races of Malfeas are beyond number, and throng the streets of the city. From their internalised mythos, the warlock takes such fecundity for themselves. The character gains the capacity to spawn weak deva by performing a thematically appropriate birthing ritual, which may take no fewer than four hours. The player and the GM should design the new species based on the birthing ritual, the Infernal's intent, and her personality, and it should be balanced based on the examples of extant First Circle Demons. The Infernal gains one free species with this charm, and may spend 1xp per additional breeding ritual to create further new species.

The newborn deva is mechanically a First Circle Demon who descends from the Infernal and may not be bound by any other sorcerer without her express permission. It is created with an empty motepool. If the warlock possesses an appropriate realm which resonates with her essence, such as the inner worlds created by Spirit of the Living World or Fourth-Soul Devil Domain, the deva returns there if banished. Otherwise, it is destroyed as if it was an Emerald Circle spell dispelled by Emerald Circle Countermagic.

The scars of the Surrender Oaths are burned into the Mythoi of the Yozis, and certain of these restrictions bind the warlock. When within Creation, the Infernal may make use of this charm no more than once per day, and may not summon a demon on a day she uses it and vice versa.
4. I'm not quite sure what @Alexander89 means by Nemesis Self Imagined Anew giving a way to increase Essence. He'll need to explain that. I could change it with sufficient reason to do so.
The text of the Charm says:
Completing the new Motivation also ends the Charm but doesn't afford a chance to bypass training time for raising Essence unless the target has an Essence rating greater than or equal to that of the Infernal.
To increase his Essence to 4 with it Lelouch would need to find someone with Essence 3 or higher and use this Charm on them. If he completes the antagonist Motivation (i.e, kill the person the target swore to protect) he can instantly raise his Essence by spending the needed Xp.

Ebon Dragon: cheating ever since the time when time wasn't even a thing :p
It seems like I've been saying this an awful lot lately, but I can't believe I missed this quest! Never before have I had a desire to actually root for the Yozi, but there you go. The graphic description of Oramus' "prison" was especially cringe-worthy.
I will take that as proof of having reached the highest achievement :cool:. It says something about the world of Code Geass that the Yozi appears as the better option.
Can't we just VEE it? I mean you know who has it right?
If you are willing to own her many, many favors, sure go for it.

Yes, she defected to the Neverborn. Or rather, she defected to a specific Abyssal...
There are some things to correct (like some Charms like Sorcerous Enlightment) but she seems like the type of person who really need to use Freedom Lets Go. Is her brother loyal to the Neverborn?

Unlike normal Exalts, Lelouch doesn't have Limit Break, Torment or anything like that. He suffers from Bullshit Breaks. :p
Oramus: "That's an idea!"
TED: "No. Please, no."

This reveals information about our allies to the Lunar. Was this unintentional from your part, or did you decide that Lelouch was rattled enough to let it slip accidentally?
Giant mutated poodle. Also, they were only names: for all that Anja knows he could have meant some of the Black Knights.

Rivalz: Wait, didn't you meet the first time in that truck incident?

Of course, Rivalz might miss it, but still something that (very slightly) bothers me. I think Suzaku has at the least the wit to abort the sentence and switch what he was about to say, like "We've been friends for e- er, some amount of time now." and continue with something natural from that point on.

My muse has a quicker pace than my hands:p

I'll strike off the sorcerous enlightenments. They were under General charms and it did say you get all the general charms you qualified for.

The brother is not aboard with Plan Destroy the World, but has no options to achieve his goal of world peace at present. He also thinks he can talk his Deathlord into giving the Neverborn the finger to rule the world instead of destroying it.

I mean...what do you expect if you give a dying man a new lease of life? He wants to keep on living :p

Many would argue about defining an Abyssal "alive" :cool:

Anyway, working on Oramus' Luck Charms. I made a change:

My Lucky Chance
Cost: 2m; Mins: Essence 2; Type: Simple
Keywords: Combo-OK, Shaping
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Recklessness Is Business

The Pattern Spiders have faithfully worked the Loom of Fate for aeons without vacation, yet their mastery pales in comparison to the knowledge of those who built it. During the Time of Glory the Primordials would often shred the delicate strands of Fate for their own goals, uncaring of the ruined labour of beings so far beneath their notice. Oramus was no exception, but his love of chaos, randomness and unpredictability made so he applied said knowledge less to further his own goals...and more to keep himself entertained.
When engaging in a game of pure chance that cannot influenced by an Ability roll without cheating, such as the use of Larceny in a game of dice, the Infernal may mimic his Primordial patron in exploiting luck: so long as his action is accompanied by a relevant stunt that involves random chance, such as a fly landing on the right card or the warlock stumbling over a stone while tossing a dice, the Infernal rolls his permanent Essence plus the stunt rating. A success on the roll means the Infernal accomplishes his twisting of Fate, altering the outcome of the game of chance in his favour. The more successes on the roll, the higher the prize the warlock receives as probabilities align to reward him: if there is no prize, what increases is just how impressive to others the Infernal's victory appears.
The Shaping effect of this Charm targets the game itself, not any individual target: as such it can be countered only by anti-Shaping effects that operate on a large scale. If another participant or the ones manning the game cheat, their efforts automatically fail; in the case they use a Charm or another magical ability their rolls suffer an external penalty equal to the successes rolled by the Infernal. Finally, this Charm cannot obviously influence reality beyond what is allowed by a Stunt: an Infernal cannot bet that the sun will not raise the next day or that the sea will dry when he steps into it.

Does it work, or it's too vague?
 
Many would argue about defining an Abyssal "alive" :cool:

Indeed. But the Abyssal in question argues quite strenously(the hilarious part would be the Resonance) that it beats Oblivion.

Of course..it'd be a pretty pickle for Lulu here to untangle. Which was mostly the intent. High potential rewards coupled with a big clusterfuck and siblings as messed up as himself and Nunnally.
 
Y'know, thinking about it, I'm not sure Nemesis-Self Imagined anew is really all that helpful. It costs a charm, we can only use it on someone stronger than us if we wish to benefit (and that assumes we'll know that they have a higher essence, which we very much might not), and we need to destroy the goal of that stronger someone. There just aren't that many E4+ foes around for us to screw with, and for those there are, screwing with them is likely a sidequest on it's own, that might take as long as it takes to train the Essence anyway. It's a cool idea, but surely there are plenty of other options of more immediate benefit, like working on the Wyld tree?

TBH though, all this is actually aside to my real dislike of the charm, in that it messes with Lelouch's head. This is a very character-driven story, and we can't really count on OOC player control to stop things getting out of hand, like it would in a proper exalted game.

It only takes one mote, and can be turned off at will. It's also not all that hard to exploit if we do run into someone with E4+, and if their motivation is something we can destroy and already wanted to, then it's possible.

We are also kind of likely to run into E4+ things eventually. Gods, older Dragonblooded, etc. And if we find their motivation is something we can destroy easily, we can use this Charm.

So, more "My Lucky Chance" Charms:

Recklessness Is Business
Cost: — (1m); Mins: Essence 2; Type: Permanent
Keywords: None
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: None

For Oramus possibility and uncertainty of the future are delights that must be savoured. When observing a game or some other event that involve luck the Infernal can automatically judge what are the general chances to success and what are those of failing. The greater the difference between them, the more precise the assessment ends up be. The Storyteller should communicate this information numerically, though the Infernal registers it as an intuition or guts' feeling.
Additionally, the Dragon Beyond the World suffers cheaters only as future victims to be brought down: if someone cheats in the game observed by the Infernal, or if the game is rigged somehow, the warlock knows it and as an Innate Power may spend 1 mote to make the source Obvious to his senses.

Whimsy Fate Amusement
Cost: —; Mins: Essence 2; Type: Permanent
Keywords: None
Duration: Indefinite
Prerequisite Charms: My Lucky Chance

Whilst many denizens of Creation rely on the machinations of Fate and seek accurate predictors of the future, Oramus comes from a time when the only possibilities were those forged from Chaos itself. Inspired by possibilities both real and imagined the Dragon beyond the World takes strength from both the greatest successes and the more unthinkable failures. Whenever the player of the Infernal either rolls a botch or succeeds an opposed check by twice or more the required number of successes he gains a point of temporary willpower.

Unexpected Coincidence Protection
Cost: 1m; Mins: Essence 2; Type: Reflexive (Step 2)
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: My Lucky Chance

Though Oramus does not control the chaos and strange fortune that flows from his very presence such effects are filled with his intent, sometimes creating a strange cloud of luck that expands itself in times of need. Against an unexpected attack this Charm removes that label, allowing the Exalt to defend normally. However, the effect manifest as a result of pure luck: from a stumble that causes an arrow to fly overhead to an Extra casually walking in front of the Infernal and taking the blow instead. The player must make an appropriate Stunt of the lucky way the Infernal manages to defend against the attack. This Charm costs zero motes if, due to the randomness of his defense, the Infernal remains unaware of the attack that happened and the attacker, though this doesn't apply to any other character present in the area.


There is also this, but I think it belongs to another Charmtree:

Detecting Chaos Motion
Cost: 4m; Mins: Essence 3; Type: Simple
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms:

Oramus takes pride in being the master of both chaos and shaping existence, with insights that few others can even hope to grasp. His mere presence brings utter randomness to the world. Thus, he knows that the presence of any pattern proves the influence of others. This charm informs the user of the existence of any active uses of Essence within (Essence x5) yards, like committed motes or a Sorcerous effect, though not their nature or position. This effect is only effective if the user is not inside a location that is Wyld-tainted or geomantically powerful like a demesne, as these places overpower the necessarily subtle chaos of the effect.
An Essence 4 repurchase increases the detection area to (Essence x50) yards, allowing it to be used inside a geomantically powerful area. It also informs the user what is the minimum Essence requirement of the effects detected.
A final repurchase at Essence 5 increases the detection area to (Essence x500) yards and allows the Charm to be used in any Wyld-tainted location that is less chaotic than Deep Wyld.
 
[X] XP Plan Enjou

We should also consider getting Soul Crack Exploitation - its a expansion charm for NSIA that lets us get a lot more than just fast essence raises from it.

Soul Crack Exploitation
Cost: 1m; Mins: Essence 2; Type: Supplemental
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Nemesis Self Imagined Anew
The Ebon Dragon delights in taking advantage of an enemy's weakness. This Charm may enhance any attempt at mental influence toward a character the Infernal has mirrored with Nemesis Self Imagined Anew, making that influence unnatural. If the influence preys on one of the target's Intimacies, the roll to impose the influence is made at target number 6. Influence that preys on Motivation uses target number 5. If the influence attacks Motivation through an Intimacy, the target's MDV is halved (rounded down), and the roll is made at target number 4.
The Ultimate Darkness believes no happiness or love is unsullied by bitterness. Essence 3+ Infernals who purchase this Charm a second time gain the benefits of preying on Intimacies and/or Motivation if the influence normally would be resisted by such traits (-3 MDV and target number 5 for attacking a Motivation, for example). The victim must still spend Willpower to resist a successful social attack that goes against his Motivation.
