General Exalted Discussion V: Our Armies are Pants

[Sanguine]

Over at the White Wolf forums, there was a brief fad of threads to the effect of "Ask my Exalted character a question, and I'll answer completely in-character from their perspective, and in doing so, hopefully I'll learn a bit about them by having to think like them, and everyone else will get a bit of lulz." (I think it was started by Hatewheel's "Ask The Magnus")

Would anyone here find a thread like that interesting/useful? Hopefully a single thread that would host the character for multiple posters, as for that brief time, it was annoying to look at the Exalted forum and have half the first page be "Ask Immaculate Steve", "Ask Glorious Bob", "Ask Radiant Jim" and so on.

It might be interesting.

...but he isn't quite as nice as he's sometimes made out to be IMO.

Nooooo D=. This is Autochthon:

He is a big fuzzy puppy with steampunk goggles.

[golentan]

And guns, and familicide, and genocide, and mass kidnapping, and...

Other than that, I'll agree he's a big fuzzy wuvvable puppy.

[Xefas]

And guns, and familicide, and genocide, and mass kidnapping, and...

I don't believe the laws of Cecelyne recognize any of these as a punishable offense within the courts of the demon city when committed by a fuzzy wuzzy puppy dog.

[Turalisj]

Autocthon is more like Tony Stark turned into an eldritch abomination and not having to worry about silly things like 'morals'.

[Gensh]

Quick, someone get a bunch of old Transformers comics with Primus in them! I only have the issue where Shockwave is talking to Optimus' severed head.

And yeah, character questions sounds interesting. I'm actually doing something similar for my players. They decide on a topic, and I do a spoof of Teach Me, Ms. Litchi to help them understand something in the story. Of course, I'm still on the "make the art" phase right now...

awesome! as a mad scientist, I see and approve this as a worthy and honorable leader!

Behold, Autocthon Prime!

That's because the other Fetich Soul of Malfeas was Duke Nukem.

Surely you are mistaken. The Empyreal Chaos lost. Duke Nukem never loses.

[Lix Lorn]

Speaking of Autochthon and going back to the 'weird misconceptions that have always stuck in your head', I think of Autochthon as a massive, metallic, hugely glossy Dragon.

[Turalisj]

No no no.

He looks like this:

[Lord Raziere]

No, since Autochton is a primordial, he has multiple souls and such, Dexter is one of them, the steampunk puppy is another, the giant autobot is a third, Dr. Horrible is a fourth soul, and Tony Stark is a fifth. He looks like all of them- and none.

[Yuki Akuma]

No, since Autochton is a primordial, he has multiple souls and such, Dexter is one of them, the steampunk puppy is another, the giant autobot is a third, Dr. Horrible is a fourth soul, and Tony Stark is a fifth. He looks like all of them- and none.

What the hell do his souls have to do with anything? His souls are not him.

His jotun, on the other hand...

No, he Jotun is Primus being piloted by Tony Stark and Dexter, with a steampunk puppy running engineering.

[Lord Raziere]

What the hell do his souls have to do with anything? His souls are not him.

His jotun, on the other hand...

Yes they are, they make up him Therefore are him.

[Turalisj]

Someone needs to start up a high level, DBZ style action game...

[Yuki Akuma]

Yes they are, they make up him Therefore are him.

His souls are not him. They are part of the whole, but not the whole.

His jotun are him, wholly and completely. Despite there being more than one.

[Lord Raziere]

His souls are not him. They are part of the whole, but not the whole.

His jotun are him, wholly and completely. Despite there being more than one.

If you are a part of the whole, then you are the whole because if your not the whole, then you are not a part of it, and being a part of the whole is the only way to be the whole, and the whole is Autochthon and the whole is a part of them and if they are apart of the whole therefore Autochthon.

[Kylarra]

Your arm is not you, despite being a part of you. If we kill (cut off) your arm, you are not necessarily dead.

[Lord Raziere]

Your arm is not you, despite being a part of you. If we kill (cut off) your arm, you are not necessarily dead.

Yes its still me. its just a dead part of me.

[tonberrian]

If you are a part of the whole, then you are the whole because if your not the whole, then you are not a part of it, and being a part of the whole is the only way to be the whole, and the whole is Autochthon and the whole is a part of them and if they are apart of the whole therefore Autochthon.

My finger is not me. It is my finger. Even though my finger is self-aware, it has a distinct personality and powerset than me.

We have very interesting discussions, my finger and I.

[Lix Lorn]

No, he Jotun is Primus being piloted by Tony Stark and Dexter, with a steampunk puppy running engineering.

Being run out of an intergalactic space ship shaped like a dragon? Pwease?

[Turalisj]

Your arm is not you, despite being a part of you. If we kill (cut off) your arm, you are not necessarily dead.

If I lost either of my arms, I would consider myself dead.

[Yuki Akuma]

If you are a part of the whole, then you are the whole because if your not the whole, then you are not a part of it, and being a part of the whole is the only way to be the whole, and the whole is Autochthon and the whole is a part of them and if they are apart of the whole therefore Autochthon.

That's really not how Primordials work.

[Lord Raziere]

That's really now how Primordials work.

.....yes. yes it is.

(its too late, you misspelled "not" as "now" so it really IS how it works now!)

[Qaera]

Raziere, your argument is a part of you equals the whole. Therefore, the whole is comprised of wholes, and is greater than itself, but then is comprised of multiple wholes, and so on. Which doesn't... work.

[DeadManSleeping]

If you are a part of the whole, then you are the whole

Shall I begin addressing you as "Planet Earth", then?

[Turalisj]

Shall I begin addressing you as "Planet Earth", then?

No. It's 'Your Majesty, the Planet Earth of the Sol System'.

[Kylarra]

No. It's 'Your Majesty, the Planet Earth of the Sol System'.

Why stop there? We should go onto uni/multiverse.

[Turalisj]

Nah, I wouldn't want to upset the other planets.
