Green Sun, Black Shadows (CG/Exalted)

Yes, and I'm sure he's eager to learn about the Charms he doesn't have, given his clear desire for knowledge.
Akio: You mean if I convince this Dragon-guy to teach me I can learn how to shape-shift and blind people by stamping on their feet? Sweet!
 
AND POOR ORAMUS, THEY BROKE HIS SEVEN BEAUTIFUL WINGS! AND THEN THEY TIED THEM TOGETHER SO HE COULDN'T EVEN MOVE! HE'S BEEN LIKE THAT FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS ISLA, CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW HORRIBLE IT WOULD BE TO NOT BE ABLE TO MOVE FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS?
Oramus: "Aaaand, yet another level of lowness reached. Is this vengeance for taking Lelouch?"
TED: "Yes. Kinda. Part of it. I would have done it anyway. Need to feed the angst and all that."
Oramus: "Never said I am against it. Now let's wait and see her defy all of your expectations."
TED: "You will NOT win this."
Oramus: "Eheheheheh."

Cecelyne: "Are those two at it again? It's been since the War that they did that."
SWLiHN: "By the Shinning Answer, no. Why? Things turn horribly wrong when they compete against each other. Why they must do it again?"
Adorjan: "Kekekeke (For the lulz)!"
Malfeas: "Shut up Adorjan."
 
Fun fact about Life-Denying Hate: its users occasionally dream about the suffering of those whom they've condemned with it.
We'll just have to hammer home the point that everyone she banishes most certainly deserves it. And it's not like they're in pain or anything, just locked up.

Speaking of learning charms, can other Fiends learn Oramus charms by having Lelouch teach them? Was there anything said on that?
 
Are you going to give her any transformation sequence charms?

...hmm. Actually, isn't there a TMA that basically turns your character into a magical girl?
Yes, Path of the Arbiter Style but it kind of sucks if you aren't a exalt without access to artifact equipment. The charms mostly suck except for the form charm with upgrades that let you uprade it to include an artifact weapon, armor and mount. If you can get those with different means it is best to do so. It is mostly used by dragonbloods that aren't dynasts with access to family armories..

Poor Eddy, one almost has to feel bad for him when Best Dragon wants to prove a point to his little brother.

I can't wait for when Isla and Mami meet Lelouch, oh the fun that will come from that.
 
Akio: You mean if I convince this Dragon-guy to teach me I can learn how to shape-shift and blind people by stamping on their feet? Sweet!

Well, I suppose it would depend on whether the Ebon Dragon would actually like Akio enough to grant him access to his Charms. Akio has Manipulation 1 and is a complete idiot - not exactly a master deceiver. On the other hand, Akio is a walking, breathing horrible truth that makes others suffer just by existing...

Still, it's pretty much easy to tell him he should go to other Yozis for their cool superpowers. "Hegra lets you make your own drugs whenever you want."

Later...

Isla: "You lied to me, Ebby."
TED: *is smug* "Yes, yes I did."
Isla: "But I'm not mad. I know you can't help it. It's what you are." *eyes burning with compassion and purpose*
TED: "Isla... why are you looking at me like that?"
Isla: "I'm going to fix you, Ebby."
TED: :o
Oramus: :lol:rofl::lol:rofl:

Even Later...

TED: "GAH! What is this horrible feeling!? It's... GAH! IT HURTS!"
Lelouch: "Did Isla succeed in her project to give you the Virtue of Compassion? It appears so. I believe what you're feeling right now is called 'guilt'."
TED: "WHY!? WHY WOULD ANYONE DO THIS!?"


Speaking of learning charms, can other Fiends learn Oramus charms by having Lelouch teach them? Was there anything said on that?

Hypothetically? Yes. Would Lelouch teach them? Well, given how Oramus feels about having only one temple and one Champion, giving others access to his Charms may result in bad things happening. I don't think Lelouch would do it without his patron's permission.
 
TED: "GAH! What is this horrible feeling!? It's... GAH! IT HURTS!"
Lelouch: "Did Isla succeed in her project to give you the Virtue of Compassion? It appears so. I believe what you're feeling right now is called 'guilt'."
TED: "WHY!? WHY WOULD ANYONE DO THIS!?"
While amusing, it's more likely that giving TED any virtue would kill him. Virtue is poison to him. Alternatively, it would fail to attach.
 
I can't wait for when Isla and Mami meet Lelouch, oh the fun that will come from that.
It will go more or less like this:

Kaguya walks in to find Akio and Akito pinning down Lelouch, who is frantically reaching for his gun: "Ah! What's happening?"
Akio shrugs: "Beat me. He just had a meeting with the new arrivals, and then started ranting."
Lelouch: "IT'S TOO MUCH! GIVE ME THAT! LET ME PUT AN END TO MY MISERY!!"
Akito deadpans: "I think it may be for the many things too taxing for his morals or sanity constantly forced on him, but I may be wrong."

Akio: Huh. *Stops holding Lelouch down, and hands him the pistol* Go ahead, then!
 
"Don't worry, Radiant Shadow!" Said the Kyubey in her head, as Isla tried her best not to become visibly overjoyed at her magical girl name being used again. "My notes say you have magic that makes it so he won't really die. He'll just be banished to a prison so he'll never be able to hurt innocent people again."

Well that sounded ok. Magical girls were supposed to banish evil. Lots of villains in the shows got banished. Isla rooted around in her magic until she found the right spell, and then infused her magical Essence into her Radiant Ruby Scepter and prepared to fire a charge. "In the name of Truth, Justice, and the Yozis, I banish you, evil one!"

"Oh no. Nononono!" The evil god screamed. "Please, I'll..." Isla fired, and the charge hit. The evil minion of the Yu-Shan yelled in pain once more before disappearing in a flare of green fire.
You wouldn't... you did! Hah! That was great! :rofl:

I can't wait for us to meet her. She sounds great.

*Nunnally walks in dressed as a magical girl.*
Nunnally: "Big Brother, the new friends you've made are fun. They have such interesting hobbies."
Lelouch: "...and now strangely I'm fine with this."

More fan-club members huh?
 
Isla is a Solar-tier Exalt. It's not a matter of whether or not she could do it, it's a matter of whether or not she should.
One more thing that should be a limit in Exalted play: It wasn't done in the First Age, some of the Solar Exalted would have likely wanted to do it and there was likely no opposition from the other Exalted? Not going to happen without thousands of years of timeskip leveling the Exalted Host back to that level, and then some to surpass them.

Though in this case I think the elder Solars would have likely squashed any attempt that sounded even slightly in any possible way that it would include forgiving the Yozis. ...And there is of course that GSPs are somewhat different case than Solars, especially with how they can innovate new Charms that have an effect on their patrons...

...By the Yozis. I think I'm suddenly more scared about Isla than fricking Slaanesh. Why do you do this, Enjou!? ...Oh wait, I already asked this the last time and you answered, nevermind.
 
It'd need to fit into the thematics of the Ebon Dragon.
I'm... not sure how you can fit in "compassion" into "cosmic force of opposition and darkness".

IIRC there was a Solar who wanted to release them.

He was killed.

As for the "if the First Age couldn't do it" idea; that's fine for most exalts, but Infernals have the backing of Hell, which has comparable manufacturing capabilities to the First Age. Ligier personally smelts entire mountains, for example. So we've got a bit of an advantage in that regard.

It'd need to fit into the thematics of the Ebon Dragon.
I'm... not sure how you can fit in "compassion" into "cosmic force of opposition and darkness".
You're so compassionate that everyone else seems like a heartless monster by comparison, so they give up out of despair. Then you stop and there's no more compassion.
 
Ah. Just noticed something. I almost made this same mistake, until I did some research and accidentally stumbled upon it:
"Yes, ma'am. My father is Japanese, and my mother is Britannian. They lived in New York, but immigrated here to the British Isles when it looked like Britannia might invade Japan."
Unless it has been changed in this quest and I didn't notice, did you know that the British Isles are actually not part of Britannia? From the wiki page:
Oddly enough, the British Isles are not a part of Britannia, instead being part of the European Union and do not unify with the empire, even after the EU's defeat.
And the world map. Homeland is actually mainly the eastern part of North America's continent. I don't think it was ever mentioned in the show explicitly. Just that the Britannian royalty were driven away from the British Isles and never returned, making their new home in Britannia's largest colony.

Yes, I realized that. The Tomoe family moved from New York (in the Britannian Homeland) to the British Isles (part of the E.U.) because Mr. Tomoe and likely Mami would inevitably be labeled as Numbers once Japan was invaded and getting the hell out of Britannia was the best way to avoid that. Since they were all already English speakers, the British Isles were the best fit among the EU countries. (I don't know if they're actually called the British Isle or something else in CG, but I figured they wouldn't be Great Britain or the United Kingdom anymore)

Keep in mind that said world map is not necessarily accurate and is actually fanmade, and doesn't even correctly reflect some things known from canon correctly. (New Zealand is an Area, for instance, but isn't shown as such on this map) I had posted it earlier mainly to point out how the Homeland, Area 1, and Area 2 might be divided up.
