Green Sun, Black Shadows (CG/Exalted)

Funnily, those still coming are the troublesome of the lot. All but one sociopath has been manageable from those we have met.

I'm personally worrying the problems from Enjou's OC Lukkage. Not only is she our problem for 3 weeks it take to get socialize up for one dot. We have to keep her crew entertained and out of trouble for the time (and the time she is in Malfeas). That's, what? 6 weeks of finding work for pirates? and I mean work. My grandpa and his friends told stories from war when they were alive. Like, how in lull times people just get angrier until they go "sod this card game, let's go looking for fight". People like that can take only so much of alcohol, women and gambling before they get bored.
 
I wonder how Ta'akozoka living affected Kimbery. Or did being trapped within Malfeas do the same thing to her as it did in canon Exalted in terms of personality?
I'd assume it's at least made Kimbery a hair less quick to go psycho on her offspring. Still a bad scene, but not as bad.

I'm still worried about what happens when fucking Ruvik or the Amygdala Man show up. That's going to go south very, very quickly if we don't manage it perfectly.
 
And some eople talked about how we were making the gsp too tame =3

Mahou Shoujo when
 
The Oramaic Limit Break seems a little... dry to me. However, I've found a sequence that shows a possible replacement. Skip to the final two minutes or so.

 
Given that Kallen is 1/2 Brit nobility, there's a real possibility of her going Dragonblooded if nothing else... although that would ruin her for the Guren,
Not really: as an Exalt she would be able to use the Guren even better. It's just that Rakshata, in order to calibrate her Knightmare schematics to normal humans, needed someone very skilled but incapable of using Essence to do it. By now she got some data, but of course real battles are the best.

So which of the OC Infernals are still in line to show up anyways?
The next two that will arrive soon are Reinart Ellis and Yuno Gasai (with added Lunar Yukiteru). The last two will start an interesting mini-arc.

Unless they decide to follow her, but I see what you mean. But surely there is always some task that a pirate can do, right?

Eeeh, it's a bit in the future. Lelouch needs time to get used to insa-who I am kidding, that will be a freak out of atomic proportions.

Oooh, that's interesting. So the loss of ability to recognize your own face? Rather, your own identity?

is this funny is this insightful I'm not sure
and oh shit my cat lulu has pissed off his mom
 
Yeah, poor Lulu is going to cry when he meets the magical girl. She is the nicest, kindest, and most well intentioned of any exalt he will ever meet. The fact she does things of absolutely horrific cruelty with a smile is just plain scary.

Am I the only one who thinks that TED has made a Sol Invictus Mk. II? Given she seems to embody everything TED is not, and he embodies opposition even; going so far as to make opposition when necessary. I wonder what will happen if she ever got to the endgame considering how well that turned out last time.

Just so. While I don't know what the Heart of Tears virtue flaw is, never having read any Exalted rulebooks, I'll take your word for it that it fits Oramus; however, I think the charmset you've compiled deserves better than a copy of it.

According to Earthscorpion, anybody who delves too deeply into any given Yozi's charmset ends up becoming a certain kind of archetypal villain. In the case of your Oramus, that archetype appears to be the spy - an enigmatic figure who inspires fear for the simple reason that you don't know who he is, what he wants, or even what he's capable of.

So in my opinion, Oramus' Torment should reflect that archetype, and the Phantom from Ace Attorney 5 is the most archetypal spy I could think of. I think his breakdown fits the rules for Torment quite nicely.
 
And there are so many other lunatics for him to meet! Like Alice, or Slaanesh, or Okuu, or <the list goes on>.
Slaanesh shouldn't be too bad. As a resident of Malfeas, she's probably heard of us by reputation, and "met four Unquestionables in under five days and lived to tell of it" is probably enough she doesn't want to get on our bad side.
 
@Alexander89 what kind of forces do the Black Knights and W-0 have? Do the W-0 pilot use Alexanders (what I expect but this is a year before Akito), are they just Panza-Hummels (I hope it's not gardmares) or perhaps they are using Burais provided by the Black Knights, and just how many pilots did they bring (since this should be before that battle where they lost most of their pilots)? Do they have any infantry? I know the Black Knights have the Guren and five Sutherlands, but how many Burai's do they have... and how many decent pilots?

And for the vote, how do you think Cornelia would react to seeing or hearing about European knightmare frames being in Japan?
 
@Alexander89 and @Enjou what type of exalt would be good to use to create Expys of the other chaos gods. Since we have an expy of Slaanesh might as well go full tilt.

We don't need to go full tilt at all, IMO. I made the Slaanesh sorta-expy because my muse inspired me to do so.

But answering your actual question, I think Infernals would be the best because the thematic aspects of some of the Yozis are closest to matching what the Chaos Gods are.

Malfeas can give a good Khorne character with a Slayer given his themes of rage and being mighty. There's some disease themes in Malfeas (Green Sun Wasting) and Metagaos that could make a good Nurgle type character with the right mix of joviality from some other Yozi. Tzeentch is the unholy combination of Oramus and the Ebon Dragon (points at Lelouch).

Alright. Let me try:

The Torment of Oramus: When an Infernal with an Oramaic Urge accumulates 10 points of Limit, he suffers the Torment of Oramus. For the duration of the scene, the character experiences feelings of unbearable anxiety and fear as he forgets his own identity: he becomes unable to recognize his own face in the mirror, he fails to connect memories to himself, believing them false, and rejects all evidence being presented to him. The same happens to any other identity, fictional or otherwise. Until the Limit Break ends he can only weep at the thought of not knowing who he is or escape from those attacking him, suffering a two-die penalty to all other actions. In addition, the same feeling imprisons a random positive Intimacy (said Intimacy must be a single being - if no such Intimacies exist this extension has no effect) for one scene.

This works?

It's actually a common misconception: Sol isn't just compassionate to the extremes, he also embody all four virtues: Temperance, Valor, Conviction and Compassion. SO always calm, feeling no fear and ready to do anything necessary without hesitation. The problem is that at times those Virtues pulled him in opposite directions and it was taxing on his sanity, leading him to reduce his need to act as much as possible.

For now Isla is just under a strong pull of Compassion (albeit feed with misinformation), so she's not facing the same problem. For now?

Likely Yuno and Yukiteru, at least if I'm parsing Alexander89's statement correctly.
Yep: read their omakes again and you will understand.

The Black Knights have five Sutherlands, the Guren and some Burais. The W-0 have the Alexanders, and pilots... twenty or something. No infantry, but the pilots have soldier training. The Black Knights have mediocre and average pilots, with Kallen being the exception.

Nobody yet knows the Alexanders are European. They're an experimental unit being confined to a secret project.

There was a fanon Tzeentch charmset somewhere, but barring that Lelouch is actually the closest one to it.
Nurgle fits more an Abyssal I think.
Khorne is a Slayer of Malfeas.
