He looks good, except a few fluff things. One, Scales would make him look like a lizard-man, not a Dragonblood. I know it's confusing, but Dragon-bloods are called such because the Elemental Dragons were the source of their power, not because they have draconian traits. Low breeding Dragonbloods look exactly like normal humans. High breeding Dragonbloods begin to take on traits similar to their elemental aspects. Examples: Air Aspects may appear to be within a perpetual personal windstorm; Fire Aspects might have hair that looks like fire and have a literal fire in their eyes; Earth Aspects may have skin which appears as stone and gem-like eyes. A Fire aspect dragonblood that actually manifests signs of their aspect woulds look more like an Ifrit than a river dragon. Two, a god would only be a sibling of a Lunar if both were god-bloods and one of them became a god while the other exalted. The only other way I could see this happening is if they were a sort of half-siblings, in which a parent god crafted a servant god and then had a god-blood child sometime down the road, who then exalted. This would probably be best if Starfall Blossom Maiden was able to channel the Wyld. |

On that first point, I see what you mean, but I was quoting the main Exalted and Lunar books, which said that scales could pass as a Dragonblood. Your call either way on that one as it's not a huge deal to me. And on the second, I just thought it would be cool. In case it wasn't transparent enough the whole thing is a massive Breath of Fire 3 tribute. Half-sibling is fine if that's what it takes to explain it away. I just wanted it to be sufficiently epic and give you some fuel for the fire from my contribution, if you wanted it. |

Huh. The Core does say that you might be mistaken for a DB. My bad for blaming you. I can't really think of any reason for that, so it'll be thrown out. I appreciate the thought that went into your backstory. As soon as I read it I got some ideas for new adventures and how to mix it in with ones I've been brainstorming.

Sorry, the bit about the sisters being godbloods was my idea. I thought that since godbloods were "Mortal" they could still exalt, but I guess not. Anyhoo, what would we need to do to go to Rathess and wake up some Dragon Kings? Because, DKs are cool and would make great allies. |

God-bloods can exalt, as long as their mortal parent was born in creation. Like I said before, that would be an option, but Starfall blossom Maiden would have to be REALLY strong to be able to mess with the wyld, and ascended god-bloods are still weak by god standards... actually, I thought up an interesting way that she could pull that off. So yes, they're officially former god-bloods now. To go to Rathess, well you'd need to (or should, I'm not trying to force you to do anything) wrap up what you've done in Melevhil, or else you might loose the ground you made there. Otherwise you could just jaunt over to Nexus, hop into the Celestial gate, walk over to the Rathess gate and then hop out. Once you're there, you'd have to worry about avoiding the Ghoul King, his hobgoblins and lizard-bird-men, the stalkers and random fae and then finding the dozen surviving sleepers. Then you have to convince them to join you. |

Gonna give it my best shot. My knowledge of Exalted lore is, sadly, quite limited, but I'm gonna try to be more active with Carp than my prior characters. Also, due to less-than-fortuitous conditions, I'm going to be MIA from this afternoon until Sunday night, but as soon as I return, you can bet I'll be back in the game too! |

Will I need to pay for the hearthstone/Manse, Kesler? |

No. One, it's a group resource, you're just holding onto the hearthstone. Two, I don't charge exp for backgrounds which are increased through play or RP. |
