Theo Anders and the Black Exaltation[Worm/Exalted][Hiatus]

I want to take over the E88.

Then we turn them into our own hero team/harem! and then get ourselves a hot non-white girlfriend, also given that we can learn other exalts charms lets learn those Lunar gender shifting ones because being Lily/Sabah's lesbian lover would really make our dad have an anuerysm :p
 
Included an Anima option to my vote.
Note the description of Moonshadow animas from the MoEP:

Anima Banner: A bloody ring around a central disk scars the Moonshadows, symbolizing the whole of existence encircling and poised to fall into the Mouth of Oblivion. Their animas are translucent silver and black sheets, with flaring sparkles orbiting the Exalt.

Silver and black is our color scheme, not pitch black.

Additionally, we want it to be ghost/death-themed. Demons are an Infernal thing.

[X] Protect your identity, play along with your father. If you want to break away from the E88 or never join up with it, it can be decided later, your identity is more important at the moment.
-[X] Dad went through a lot of trouble to build us a rich and powerful organization. It'd be a shame to turn it against us rather than bend it to our dark will.
[X] If its Ophelia and Aaron, let Ophelia play nurse. Even missing an eye, she's definitely fap worthy.

Chargen is going to take place over 5 rounds as per SwiftRosenthal 's very sound advice.

First round:
Motivation:
[]Write in

and

Anima Banner:
[]Write in
Quoting this edit so everyone sees it. We're voting for four separate things right now: our Motivation, Anima Banner, Identity Response, and Othala Response.
 
Made some edits to my anima idea.

Don't know about Motivation though.
 
Motivation, what does Theo (you) want to do? What's his big goal. His first goal should be fairly obtainable. He's newly exalted. And it gives the quest some direction besides stuff I plop in front of you
 
Anyone up for global conquest?
Let's start by taking over E88 first.

All other possible successors to Kaiser need to either support our claim or be eliminated, then Kaiser will suffer an oh-so-unfortunate accident and we'll get the throne.
If that's not heroic enough - because fulfilling a Motivation is an instant Essence Up - we can set it for the city instead.
 
Honestly it feels a bit too early to worry about motivation, unless we are supposed to pick something comparatively trivial that can be relatively quickly accomplished.

The first motivation should be fairly easy to accomplish, he's a new Exalt, but since he is the son of a major crime lord, its still going to be something of an undertaking. Taking over the E88 would be a decent undertaking. Getting Kayden/Purity into the Protectorate without getting her locked up and getting her and Aster sent away from Kaiser. If you are aiming a bit higher, taking over the entirety of BB's underground. Being THE crime lord in the city.

IMO this depends on whether we'll start at E2 or E3. E2 could do with just "Take over E88", but if we pay for E3 from bonus points I wouldn't mind if you auto-adjusted it to "Take over BB's underground."

(If Kaiser dies, Kayden won't need to worry about Aster. Win-win!)

Skitzyfrenic, if we can justify it... can we start with artifacts like daiklaves?

Biigoh He doesn't really have any access to Creation tech at the moment. So he can't start with a Daiklave, but he will be (if all the right choices are chosen and the right mission gets laid out by the Lover) able to get some eventually. You can reason tinker-tech alloy swords and similar, but it would have to be well reasoned, like where did it come from, how was it obtained. Otherwise he's limited to the mundane tech you'd expect for the son of a long time gang lord.

If he stays loyal and does well, he will essentially bank goodwill with the Lover, which when he can finally access Creation, it will score him sweet sweet loot.

I think we should get Essence 3 in our build.

I bought Manual of Exalted Power Abyssals the other day so I'll need to finish reading it before thinking of a build.
 
New, complete vote:

[X] Motivation: Take control of E88. (Note to GM: if we start with Essence 3, add "... and all crime in Brockton Bay."), and remake it in our image.
-[X] Immediate goal: gain a handful of powerful minions who are loyal to us personally.

[X] Anima: A great skeletal dragon roars toward the heavens. Surrounding it is a ring of spectral knights clad in armor of pitch black with silvery trim and baring black spears. Around them are shadowy figures suggestive of an enemy force. They occasionally move against the knights but are always rebuffed. A cloud of swords, both soulsteel and spectral, floats above the battlefield.

There are artifacts designed to bond to the shards and stored in elsewhere to be pulled by the new incarnation as 'starter' kits.

Key in point cache eggs from the magitech book. But I could be wrong.

In any event i will yield to no artifact rule beyond possible tinker tech.

Make it zombie knights, or knights in decaying armor/knights riding skeleton horses and it'd be a pretty good Abyssal anima banner, what with the whole corrupted strength imagery they have going for them.

Why not just have them either riding on Skeleton horses or a giant Dragolich following behind instead?

Techincally, Cache eggs weren't designed to do that, per-say; it's just a happy side-effect. That said, artifacts can be (and totally were) made to do that.

In the First Age, it was simply more in-vogue to have an elaborate mausoleum to store your stuff in for the next life; which is why artifacts like that weren't more common.

Repeating earlier vote in order to add Motivation and Anima ideas.

(You mean Othala, right?)

[X] Motivation: Take over the E88, and remake it in our image.

[X] Anima: A thicket of sword blades. They are black metal. Light reflects off a dark fluid which stains the blades.
-[X] Totemic Anima: A giant made of sword blades, each running red with blood. The blood jumps in time with our own heartbeat.
 
Here's my updated Anima:

Anima: A rank and file army of knights, clad in armor of pitch black with silvery trim. Baring silver swords and black spears. Behind the marching knights were legions of mounted Knights riding on Skeletal Horses. Each knight ready and wishing to spill the blood of those who stand before their liege. Towering behind the knights was a pack of Undead Dragons foul poisonous fog exuding from their maws as they stamped forward. The howling of spirits both ally and enemy, following behind it all.
 
Here's my updated Anima:
Grammar Nazi rising...

There, fixed.

I think Ophelia is the real name Skitzy has given Othala.

anyhoo

I like evildice's anima more. It has the benefit of simplicity and being iconic. Plus it references Allfather and Kaiser, what with all the blades. Maybe even Iron Rain, if the fanon "make it rain swords" power is accurate.
 
EDITED into the tanuki plan

Motivation - The Dark Prince is but a young abyssal. Thus, his goals are smaller in scope. To destroy those who would stand in his way, who would harm Kayden and Aster, Frenja and Menja, Rune, and all the other sweet pussy he would tap in the Empire.

Anima - A single disc of absolute darkness floated in absolute perfection, a gaping maw into the void of oblivion, while a ring of energetic dark light spun clockwise around the disc. The bleeding had long stopped when the icon of negative energy had formed over the stigma.

Shimmering waves of translucent darkness flowed off of the Dark Prince like an elegant noble robe of energy with silver highlights. While seething black orbs swirled slowly and purposefully around him as of planets around their sun, a miasma of almost black dark purple and silver sparkles trailed behind them.

And yet, he spent more essence. Pulling at the very fabric of reality, denying its existence, and his aura only grew, forming an ever elaborate robe around him. While the orbs of darkness only multiplied...

Eventually, reality was rent... and the heavens darkened. One could still see perfectly... and yet, it was as if the very sun and all sources of light had been eclipsed.

While behind the Dark Prince, a majestic lady stood towering over him. She was dressed as he was, in flowing robes of darkness and glittering silver, a halo of absolute darkness floated above her head, while wings fluttered from her back, countless wings with feathers of infinite darkness and depth. There was a sense that she saw all, despite her eyes being covered by the reptilian bird skull that she wore as a helm.
