Welcome to Creation, a vast expanse that's about what you'd get if the surface area of the Earth was rolled out on to table. This is a land with no magnetic poles but five elemental poles, earth, wind, water, fire, and wood. This is a land where everything has a god. The sun, the concept of secrets, porcelain, and that pebble under your shoe all have gods. The pebble one is about as aware as an ant. The sun one could crack creation like a walnut, if he really set his mind to it.
You were a petty mortal human until just a few minutes ago. You were pretty good at what you did, sure, but you weren't all that extraordinary. The past tense is important here. A few minutes ago, something called an exaltation fused with your soul. An exaltation is a fragment of one of the greater gods. Now you are an exalt, a being of tremendous power. A weapon originally birthed into creation to defeat the progenitors of the gods themselves.
Time to decide some stuff about who you are. First off, what kind of solar exalted are you? Are you
-Dawn, a warrior supreme?
-Zenith, the bedrock of solar society? (Zenith are kind of hard to sum up in a few words. They are priests. They specialize in reaching the masses and in standing strong and immovable against anything.)
-Twilight, a scholar and sorcerer who will eventually learn any secret they seek?
-Night, a thief and assassin from whom no target is truly secure?
-Eclipse, a diplomat who could forge lasting peace between wolves and sheep?
Where you? Are you in the
-West, near the elemental pole of water? (A rather nautical setting)
-North, near the elemental pole of air? (A rather frozen wasteland setting)
-East, near the elemental pole of wood? (A rather foresty setting)
-South, near the elemental pole of fire? (A rather desertastic setting.)
-Middle, near the elemental of earth? (A rather domesticated/urban setting where your exaltation will be the most dangerous to you. The government is strong here and not so much a fan of your kind.)
Also, please vote on gender and name if you have a preference.
To those familiar with the source material, this will not be overly mechanical. I will ask a few more questions to get a sense of what kind of character you guys want to play, and based on that, I will make a character sheet to keep a general idea of what you can do. I won't roll dice unless it's really a close call, though, and stunting (describing yourself as doing something really awesome) will be immensely powerful. This is, after all,
exalted. If no one is interested, however, I understand.
