Re: Exalted 2.5
Very much still looking.
Concepts I have to submit are:
Rixthar--Defiler from the Unsung Heroes genre, that believes the exalted's heroism ends when they took what was never rightfully their own, and stole from the true masters. A Fascist who has a perverted sense of right and wrong, but whom against his urge has a swollen heart for people's plight. He wishes to make Creation a perfect place; fixated upon his own version of utopia with dystopian themes.
Quan--Eclipse sorcerer that lives in mobile manse, and uses sorcerer's irresistible puppetry and Invocation of the Eyeless Face with Greater Minions of the Eyeless face to interact outside. Requires flaws! As he's paraplegic with beacon of power. Kind and helpful. Gives asylum to renegade exalts within his manse. Initially no more than an observer, communicator and protector, a horde master as well.
Ethan--Twilight that "favors" caste abilities by focusing primarily on occult, lore and craft, including sorcery. Has a group of follower and manse compound that he oversees, but wishes to bring more people, to make town and then city.
Neavie--Dawn battle angel. Requires flaws and merits! An oath to feel no physical pleasure, she in turn gains the high priesthood of the Lookshy Goddess Tienyu. With celestial battle armor, a manse, and a very high rating in all virtues, Neavie has immense humility and courage. She aids Lookshy's efforts, though she be damned by them. One day, she hopes to reconcile the evils of her past self, by atoning through suffering. Inspired by Alita battle angel, and legends of the Crucified.
Jurisanju Meile Seife Voria--Battles on the convention of war. Pupil of a grand sifu, and connected with an illegal power brokerage, he has claws deep in godly crime. A political brute, but Yakuza with terrible friends, some of which he secretly considers his greatest enemies. Content and even proud of warmongering, he oversees the bloodletting of nations to release tensions on Creations with a cleansing battle. He choose a side, and aids them to win...but often accepts fate's turn if his side loses. People are horses, creation the stable, beloved are the people of Creation, like prize winning thoroughbreds. He does not lack empathy, but rather fights it actively, to (futilely) prevent the tenth pattern spider bite; that suffers most the mortal he loves.
Ampthise Vicious--Endings formerly in gold faction as mortal that shunned the faction to join Righteous Tsunami in the West. Background of backing in the West, ally of Righteous Tsunami and possessing little salary, but a dual manse that connects a part in the west with Yu Shan, through two Home's Hearth and an Otherworld gate. Vicious agrees with the Bronze Faction, that solars are a threat; after all, he's seen the first hand training. It often haunts him. Still, he consider solars to be second circle demons only after a century, and considers the deathlords their ilk and the Lintha a greater threat. With the West having such little support, Vicious staunchly stands to aid Righteous Tsunami against the greater threats to Creation. Vicious seeks to recruit mortal and exalt alike.
I could adapt to an alchemical, abyssal, or dragonblooded; these are just my leading characters.
