Keychain of Creation 6: Now You're Playing With Elder Exalted!

[Gez]

Jukashi has confirmed Holmes, Pierrot, and Vimes, and the fourth one is

Show

Jules Maigret

(based on the Keychain of Creation forum over on patternspider, here).

I assume by "Pierrot" you mean Poirot.

As for Maigret, I don't know if I should be surprised he was referenced or not surprised nobody recognized him.

[Kyeudo]

I assume by "Pierrot" you mean Poirot.

Spelling French names is definately not my forte.

[Gargulec]

Was not he Belgian?

[Kyeudo]

Was not he Belgian?

Recognizing Belgian names is also apparently not my forte.

[Morph Bark]

Was not he Belgian?

The name would still be in French. Or Dutch. Or German. Or in another language whilst his parents had immigrated from another country.

Because Belgian is no language, people!

[Lord Raziere]

The Immaculate Mastah has his own comic you can find here, but I want to see more of essence cannon vs dots in stealth.

maybe her comic can be named "Dots in Stealth" just for pure irony.

[Gez]

Hercule Poirot was adult (and already a renowned detective) when he moved to England. Canonically, the reason for his exile was the German invasion of Belgium.

And yeah, he's a Wallon (French-speaking Belgians). If he were Flemish he'd have a Dutch name. Probably something like Van Perelaar.

[Yuki Akuma]

So, hey, Jukashi.

Did you ever post a tutorial on how you do your (old) style anywhere?

I mean the early stick-arms one...

Because it seems just simple enough that I could give it a go without it turning out horrible. >.>

I'm thinking of ripping off your ideastarting an Exalted webcomic, y'see, but I fail at most Arting.

You could acquire one of us who draw in the old KoC style to art for you. Or go find an OoTS tutuorial, and make changes from there until you end up with something KoC-like

[Yuki Akuma]

Unless someone offers I'd rather do it on my own because I feel uncomfortable asking people to do things for me. Evening buying commissions makes me feel bad...

I'll check out the OOTS tutortial, though. Thanks. <3

[Morph Bark]

Don't suppose you're willing to give a short description on what you plan on having the comic be about?

At any rate, good luck Yuki!

[Yuki Akuma]

Short description? Young Water-Elemental God-Blood, his two Half-Caste orphan friends and their Enlightened Mortal caretaker go on an adventure to stop a demon invasion because Destiny Says So.

It just so happens to occur in a part of Creation that not many Exalts are interested in.

[Gargulec]

Wow. That sounds really, really interesting. Half-bloods of all sorts are kind of awesome.

[Yuki Akuma]

Thank you.

Now to actually get down and start, uh, practicing Arting.

If anyone wants to offer to help that'd be nice too. >.>;

Anyway this thread is about KoC so uh.

Wonder when the next update'll be?

[Doran]

I know the black 'cinematic' borders show limit break - but why are they here when showing flame?

[The Rose Dragon]

Padraig explicitly said that they do not show Limit Break, just moments more dramatic than the ones wrapped around them.

[Doran]

Hmm, really? I see - I was going to ask whether the panel here meant the Siddie's Great curse kicked in, but nevermind.

EDIT: Also I finally got what was up with the Mask of Winters in this panel. Lore score for the win, thankfully, it also clued me in that I was designing a twilight diplomat with total illiteracy...

[Kris Strife]

The effect the Great Curse has on Sidreals is that the more of them making a decision, the worse the decision is.

...what quite was he doing?

OH OH OH OH OH

I GET IT NOW

[Lord Raziere]

*blink blink*

I still don't get it. can anyone PM me?

edit: wait I do see a connection.....Mask of Winters once was a Solar....so he was in First Age.....he wanted Secret to read something....a bunch of data crystals were shattered which is somehow connected to Mask of Winters....could the Mask of Winters have written something down on that piece of paper that was on the shattered data crystals? or something?

[Yuki Akuma]

..Locater crystals for Solar Exaltations?

[The Rose Dragon]

I didn't get it until you pointed it out. Maybe because my book has him listed with a Lore of 10, so I don't recall his supposed illiteracy until it is pointed out.

[Lix Lorn]

..Locater crystals for Solar Exaltations?

Approximately half of which are shattered, and they can't tell Secret? Sounds right to me.

The original Exalted core book has the Mask of Winters without a Lore score, making him illiterate. Many jokes were made and a minor meme was born. This eventually got errata'd, and he does indeed have Lore 10.

Yup that was what I noticed, saw that meme on tv tropes.

[Aquillion]

And the Mask of Winters is supposed to be this incredibly vain evil supergenius who is constantly running elaborate schemes and sitting back declaring that everything is going Just As Planned, so obviously he'd never admit to being illiterate.

[Doran]

Speaking of which, did the Deathlords or the Neverborn come up with and execute the plan of stealing the Solar shards. I know they traded 50 of them to the Yozis in return for knowing how to alter them.

[The Rose Dragon]

Actually, the Yozis did. Specifically, the Ebon Dragon. He then went to the Neverborn and said "Having 13 Solar ghosts bound to you is cool, but you know what is really cool? 250 Solar Exaltations!", and told them where the Jade Prison was, and the Neverborn were all "Deathlords! Go and capture us some Solar Exaltations", and they created a behemoth to go and break the Jade Prison and recover the Exaltations within. Unfortunately, the behemoth they created was too strong, and it shattered the prison entirely rather than opening a small crack, so they could only capture 150 Exaltations rather than all of them.

And thus is the sad tale of why there are so many Solars still running about today.

The Ebon Dragon expected the Deathlords to only be able to snag 50 Exaltations instead of half. He actually thought there'd be 250 Solars running around.

Psst: TRD thinks it's sad because he loves Abyssals and hates Solars and Green Sun Princes.
