General Exalted Discussion Thread X: Playground Cosmic Principle

[horngeek]

Yeah, it's a neat fit. It's also easy to fit her into Burn Legend. I'm not sure how she fits into Modern, though.

Also. Shellcasters. The tradition of awesome names for artifacts continues.

[The Demented One]

Check p. 109.

[horngeek]

So she's 14... and an Infernal in that Shard.

YIKES.

[industrious]

So she's Scarlet except when she's Green.

Yeah...that seems to fit.

[Hiro Protagonest]

So she's 14... and an Infernal in that Shard.

YIKES.

14!? This is terrible! She won't be fully developed!

Yes, that is my most pressing concern about this. :P Being an Infernal is actually sort of a plus, unless she's still being stowed away from everyone else by Ebby.

And Industrious, she's not Green, she's *Emerald*. Unless she's Nuclear.

My complaint with her as an infernal is that she appears to be axe crazy. Scarlet is many things. She's ruthless, conniving, manipulative, and generally not a nice person, but she's all of these things to serve a purpose, and that purpose can generally be described as "for the greater good." Replacing that with adorjani murder craze just seems completely out of character from what I know. If she had killed her family to seize power, that would be one thing. But she doesn't have power and had to know she wouldn't get it yet, so Princess Charlotte just handed things over to a ret... regent.

[KnightDisciple]

Did anyone else notice that, in Gunstar Autochthonia, the guy leading things overall is basically Solar Commissar Yarrick?

[Xefas]

Finally got home and can start reading. My interest is piqued by page 6.

Isidoros has a jouten that is an apocalypse? Seems reasonable.

[Incendius]

So if I'm guessing rightly, Gunstar Autocthonia is Creation without the Three Spheres Cataclysm. Guess they really did lose a whole lot.

Also, my favorite line in The Modern Age:

Chejop Kejak, leader of the Gold Faction.

A setting. Where one of the most powerful Sidereals.

IS ON YOUR SIDE.

Elloge’s Rhapsodes,

...I want to play this.

Some Exalted savants wonder if the titans could not have forged new Incarnae of the moon and stars, and through them created strange new Chosen to field in battle—not akuma, but true Exalted.

Can I have your thoughts on this? I'm pretty clueless about this sentence...

Or not, depending. But seeing Chejop on the opposing side could also be interesting.

I need this book. Need. It.

It puts forward the possibility that the titans have forged new Incarnae, to replace the rebel Maidens and Luna. That these Incarnae might be loyal to their creators, and better able to create Exalted suited to the duty of upholding the righteous tyranny of the Empyreal Chaos and his brethren, and to the mission of finding and wiping out Gunstar Autochthonia and its inhabitants.

[Xefas]

Ah, but is the difference between the Sidereal and Lunar Exalted Charms and the Stellar and Lunatic Exalted Charms more like the difference between Solar and Abyssal Charms (similar, but crooked slightly so), or more like the difference between Solars and Infernals (completely different)?

They made new gods and had them make new infernals, but based on lunars and siddies.

Or so I would guess.

Chejop is also a young woman in that shard.

[Cyborg Mage]

Chejop is also a young woman in that shard.

HOOOOOOLY CRAP I really need this book

[Volthawk]

Chejop is also a young woman in that shard.

Er...what?

I've got the pdf open right now, looking at Chejop's entry in the Modern shard, and it's referring to Chejop with male pronouns.

[Guancyto]

Yeah, it's Heaven's Reach where Chejop Kejak is a young woman.

[Turalisj]

Er...what?

I've got the pdf open right now, looking at Chejop's entry in the Modern shard, and it's referring to Chejop with male pronouns.

Oh, right, my mistake, it's Heaven's Reach.

Still, female Chejop.

[golentan]

Personally, I like Gunstar Autochthonia. I wonder how the Triumphant Titans would react to their chosen going Devil Tiger. I'd imagine they'd be okay with it, in contrast to their fallen yozi counterparts.

[Lord Raziere]

Yeah, but what they WOULDN'T be ok with, is all the people going Cosmic Principle.

Theion Vs. Theion civil war anyone?

[Draken]

Yeah, but what they WOULDN'T be ok with, is all the people going Cosmic Principle.

Theion Vs. Theion civil war anyone?

Wouldn't you just be another Jouten of Theion if you did that?

[Lord Raziere]

No, a Jouten is just the body, I'm actually becoming a separate Primordial, but I'm still Theion. I'm not a part of Theion, I'm a different Theion.

[Gensh]

No, a Jouten is just the body, I'm actually becoming a separate Primordial, but I'm still Theion. I'm not a part of Theion, I'm a different Theion.

Nope. A Primordial is a cosmic principle. You would become Theion, your mayfly memories subsumed into his own like spitting into the ocean.

[Kyeudo]

Nope. A Primordial is a cosmic principle. You would become Theion, your mayfly memories subsumed into his own like spitting into the ocean.

I'm fairly sure that you and Raziere are both right on this one. Upon learning cosmic principle, you would get all of the memories and such of Theion, but you would also be a seperate Theion. If someone killed one of you, the other would still be alive.

[Ronnoc]

Actually I'm pretty sure that unless he took Theion glory incarnate as well he would be Theion but a different Theion. Admittedly I do not have the firmest grasp of infernal mechanics.

edit: I seem to have been ninja'd. Kyeudo you wouldn't happen to be a sideral would you?

[Kobold-Bard]

RoGD says that a Mercury Ant's bite has no effect on the magical materials. But can it turn normal metals into the magical materials?

[golentan]

So, I posted these in the D&Demotivators thread, but I thought I'd repost here.
