Character Creation Chat
Glad. I'm glad I budgeted just enough.
I'm not qualified (essence) to have high Sidereal martial arts, and to get a form of any of them, I'll likely need a celestial style anyway. So I'll be lucky if I can get much past the form of the celestial style. I'm not sure what styles my sifu would know, and if I have a choice in the matter (as a player) I'd want to synergize the styles to make a coherent suite of styles. Off the top of my head, I'm thinking Forceful Declaration, if I may. Otherwise, I'd start with Violet Bier of Sorrows from a failed Sifu relationship prior to my current Sifu, whom should understand a circulation of pupils. ;)
Ideally, Sifu would look like this: A mix of brutality, and mercy, masochism and punishment worse than death. I hope to learn Forceful Declaration in route to Prismatic Arrangement of Creation, up to a point.
C1: Forceful Declaration
C2: Victorious Concession
C3: Laughing Wounds
C4: Throne Shadow
T5: Terrible Ascent Driven Beast
T6: Fallen Blossom
T7: First Pulse
S1: Prismatic Arrangement of Creation
S2: Citrine Poxes of Contagion
S3: Charcoal March of Spiders
S4: Quicksilver Hand of Dreams
I often considered BoKL Style, but having played it before, and enjoyed it; I don't want to even delude myself in aspiring to such an esoteric and high req style. The ones I listed are difficult enough to reach the Apex of. Though to be fair, I don't plan on being stubborn in finishing a style I can't advance in.
I'm thinking the Home's Hearth Manse is in the West, perhaps a gift from Tsunami, or my Sifu. After all, few Sidereals (apparently) prefer Creation Manses. I'm thinking North of Fakharu's Island perhaps on islands of Broken Dreams. Or closer to Onyx (Northernly, not on its doorstep or even within the 100 miles).
I'd stat the manse to be a home and hospice. Where I can eventually take people under command to. For now, it's an escape if Vicious becomes too near to failing.
