Behold, a place in which to speak with one another!

Huzzah a place to lay our glorious plans before the ST that he might plot evil against them!

Hi, I'm playing Aiyana, a Zenith revolutionary and circus shill.

In reply to Aiyana Silverbow (msg # 2):

Hi all,

Happy to be aboard.  Have been looking at Exalted for years, but never had a chance to play, so super-excited to see how things go.  Playing Seven-Tailed Salmon, an entirely legitimate, not-at-all nefarious merchant, who in no way runs an influence-peddling ring that reaches into the highests levels of the land.  And is an Eclipse.

I have a reasonable handle on the background for Exalted, but this is my first time making a character, so may need to lean on y'all for a little advice.  The plan is for Salmon to be sufficiently competant at combat not to be a liability (probably Dodge and Archery), but to be mainly focused on the manipulation of social systems - so, Presence, Socialize, Bureaucracy, Linguistics, and Larceny.  Looking forward to it!

Hiya everyone!  Zephyr here, your (a?) resident Full-Moon Lunar pirate (of either sand or sea)!  Great with a weapon in hand, with a smattering of occult know-how (though she can't Sorcery her way out of a wet parchment scroll), and just in general trying to be a good little hellraiser for Luna!

Having been playing the Eclipse in my other long-running Exalted game, its good to see another merchant influence-peddler!

Being good at social influence will likely eat up a lot of your starting charmset and dots (there's never enough to go around) so I'd lean towards Melee as a good all-around combat skill that doesn't require a lot of investment to make you competent. Back it up with some resistance as Ox-Body really has come into its own this edition and you should be set for combat so you can explore being rich and influential.

Just a reminder to you all about my ST philosophy: If you want to start out as the greatest in all of Creation in one or more areas, I'll roll with it!  But you won't be punished for spreading the wealth.   The days of paranoia combos are looooong gone.

You mean I don't need to combo a surprise negator with two different perfect defenses and a counterattack? What has Creation come to?

Related point for anybody familiar with old editions but not third: There is a lot less that is unblockable or undodgeable. Depending on your build and charm needs, you probably don't need to stack for both Parry and Evasion.

Also...hi! Achol goes with Aiyana and the Spoke and Wheel Circus--she's the dance to Aiyana's music (and the Swaying Grass Dance to Aiyana's Silver-Voiced Nightingale). I am probably sticking with a full moon build unless we're without changing moons. We're revolutionaries! But, you know, quiet-like because Wyld Hunts are a thing.

Queen of a Hundred Kingdoms! Mistress of Spears! Right Hand of Mars! Terror of 7th Legion! Shohreh is the young general who has conquered dozens of minor kingdoms and principalities, and there seems to be nothing that can stop her as she continues her raids and wins battle after battle.

At least, that's what's spread around. The truth is Shohreh is a teenager who mostly enjoys winning and dislikes boredom. She and her rag-tag friends have somehow turned a petty street gang into an unstoppable force for conquest that chills the blood of the Dragons. But mostly it's an excuse to impress girls and maybe have something to do.

Shohreh is essentially Alexander the Great (or, as the Loom put it, Alexandra the Greatest). She's a kid who likes winning battles but isn't actually interested in conquest. She's young, arrogant, brash, and seemingly as invincible as she thinks. It's gonna be fun on a bun.

Out of curiosity, does anyone need (or want) a Lunar mate?  I don't shed too much, though I do have a nasty habit of leaving dead Dynasts on your shoes to show that I like you!

Rainbow of Iron Raven here!

Rain is a solar night caste that wanders around creation as an assassin and thief (very original i know) as the fancy takes her and has a great disdain for the dragon blooded, especially those of the nobility and great houses.

Rain now trades her skills under the name Iron Rain as she wanders the less savoury parts of the world seeking out like minded individuals with the strength, cunning and will to change creation. She has also proven adept at limiting the exposure of abilities and so far has not had any close calls with the Wyld Hunt yet is aware that they have been stepping up thier searches and will eventually catch up to her if she is to relzize her goals.
