If you need a few days after everything tha happened today, I will understand.How is everyone doing with their chars?All done finally. Now I just have to type all of that into the character's profile.
Thanks. I will try to get the stuff typed into a profile, but with all the drama going on at home right now, I don't know when I'll get a chance to do that.
For David
SH was the one of, if not the, most powerful Solar Martial Artists of the First Age. He learned and mastered Sidereal Martial Arts with ease. And it is with these arts that he helped overthrow the dark overlords of creation.
Later, when the Solar Deliberative has restored peace and set about ruling Creation, SH saw, with ill-conceived distaste, the once mighty heroes of dawn devolve into monsters as they are enthralled by their excesses.
SH could have even prevented the Usurpation when he discovered the Sidereals' plot. But when they showed him the entangling mesh fate has in store for the whole of Creation should the Solars not fall, SH backed down.
SH did not fight them and watched as the Deliberative was reduced to nothing.
The Sidereals imprisoned SH in a prison-tomb that was erected around him as he stood his vigil, lamenting the fall.
Millenia later, SH was reborn as a young man who grew incensed by the excesses and injustices of the Dragon-blooded. He fought barehanded against the tax collectors and he was about to be kiled when he exalted.
Easily, did he subdue the tax collectors, but not the Wyld Hunt that followed. SH, new to his power then, failed to stop the Wyld Hunt from destroying his village. His rage knew no bounds as he destroyed each and every member of the Wyld Hunt.
Later he met his fellow Solars and together they vowed to bring about a better tomorrow.
Game thread is up.
Wait, we're starting in the South? Mind if I change my abilities a bit so I can actually know how to speak Flamespeak?

Feel free.
Do we know that four other people in the caravan are exalted?
(Note: Moved one dot of Presence to Linguistics)
Reason to come here: Things are getting rather hot back in the Confederacy. He's been robbing Guild caravans a bit too much, and they want him stopped. Thus, Silhouette decided to go someplace warmer where he's less likely to be recognized.
This reminds me, how useful is my Influence going to be? Only useful against people from Nexus, I assume?
So, errrrrrr, can anyone help me come up with a good reason why a bandit is traveling with a caravan? My brain no work so good right now, and I'm not really up to rewriting her backstory. :/
Scouting a new route into 'new' territory or you are looking for a fence and knew this caravan would lead you to him/her...?
Recruiting...

As I read the rules, Exalts have a tendency to recognize each other. They are almost drawn to each other. And even here in The South you will find people with whom your Influnce has sway.

Well, you could always go with the same reason I'm going and go because some organization back home wants you stopped and better to run and live to fight another day and all that...
Still, it's pretty odd, having two bands of bandits/thieves end up in the same caravan.
Given that we're a perfect Circle, perhaps it's a past life thing. The books are pretty clear that the Exalted shards recognize their previous Circlemates, no matter their current bodies, which would cover a lot of otherwise potentially bizarre circumstances.
(I should have an IC post up tomorrow - been a long day at work.)
I keep thinking how well Legacy of Fire would work as an Exalted game based in the South, but I'm already running 3 PbP games as it is... :P
...
So, if I were going to go ahead and be insane beyond all mortal comprehension, is anyone in this game interested in an Exalted adaptation of Legacy of Fire? The PCs would begin play as heroic mortals, but would eventually Exalt as Solars.

Only if you don't mind me basically making the same exact character.
Ditto. I had a hard enough time coming up with the concept to start with. :P
And I'm curious about just how we would work that out mechanically. Is it okay that I'm already playing in a Legacy of Fire game? I'd be very careful to keep OOC knowledge just that, but I understand if that's not okay.
Same character concept wouldn't be a problem, though of course you'd have to do a rebuild to turn the character into a heroic mortal. And my biggest concern with respect to already playing in a Legacy of Fire game is that I would likely stick fairly close to the adventure as written, so I don't honestly know how much fun it would be for you...

well, didn't get very far through it before I had to drop out because of time issues (I originally had it mixed up with one of the others before I realized which game that had been.) so probably not too much of an issue. The time issues seem to have sorted themselves as well at least as far as being a player is concerned. Lately it's the only way I get to play at all.
How far in did you get? (You can spoil the answer if you want.)
Okay, if I'm gonna do this, I'd rather do it right, which means probably finding a 2 or 3 more players. I'll probably put up a recruitment thread after Christmas is safely past...
Well, poop. I was looking forward to it.
Real life takes priority, I understand.
(I didn't see it as anyone taking their chars to a different game. Just a different version of those chars in a different game. I think to save on the work that was just done. Even though that other game required a new char anyways.)
