Here is the Character thread.

For this game, everyone starts at Essence 3, and have five General Charm slots and five Dedicated Charm slots, with a total of 10 Charms to go in them.

You also have 20 Bonus Points to spend instead of just 18.

We are using the Hardy Keyword, so with each purchase of the following Charms, you get a free Strain Resistant Chassis Modification.

New Keyword: HARDY
Each purchase of a Charm bearing this keyword works like a purchase of the Exalt's native version of Ox-Body Technique. This entirely replaces the Charm by that name; players lose those Charms and spend the refunded XP on Charms with the Hardy keyword.

No character may benefit from the Hardy keyword more times than their Essence score. An Essence 5 character with seven Hardy-keyworded Charms only benefits from the equivalent of five purchases of Ox-Body Technique until he raises his Essence score.

No character may receive the benefits of the Hardy keyword from any Charm not considered natural to his kind. Eclipses cannot learn Bruise-Relief Method and thus gain extra health levels, nor can a Malefactor grant extra health levels when bestowing Transcendent Desert Creature upon her followers as a mutation effect.

ALCHEMICALS:
Pain Suppression Nodes
Subcutaneous/Exoskeletal Armor Plating (any and all installments)
Transitory Invulnerability Engine
Essence Shield Projector
Alloyed Reinforcement of Flesh
Body-Reweaving Matrix
Bodily Integrity Field
Aegis Integration System
Enshrined Divinity Apparatus
Industrial Survival Frame (any and all installments)
Biofunction Inhibitor
Sustenance Replication Engine

I have also decided to take a page from 3rd edition and award your xp in two different blocks; one set that can be used for any purchase you wish to make, and the second can be used for anything except Charms and Charm slots. That way it helps to encourage you to spend some time raising up your attributes, abilities and such instead of just focusing on buying the Charms.

All xp awards will be tracked here.
Standard Xp: 7
Alchemical Xp: 7

  • Project 11442 Ultima Ratio
    Production Model Name: Incandescent Ray of Judgement
    Caste: Orichalcum
    Concept: Nuke it From Orbit
    Motivation: Purify the Infection Plaguing the Great Maker
    Intimacies:
    • "I am a defender of the populat."
    • "Flower decides where I am needed. Needle points the way."
    • "I need to stay in touch with my humanity."
    • The Voidborn and their worshippers. [Emotion - Hatred]

    Project Ultima Ratio is a modern broad-spectrum multi-role theological dominance platform. Its primary design purpose is bringing overwhelming firepower to bear while commanding high intensity conflict against increasingly prevalent and potent voidborn theological hazards. By slaying their so-called 'gods', we can break the faith of these heretical cults and in so doing both shatter their morale and boost faith in the Great Maker. In accordance with the precepts of Runel, blessed be her name, in addition to her primary mission profile, Incandescent Ray of Judgement is also capable of engaging in large scale demonstrations for the purpose of bolstering faith in the Great Maker and mobilizing public support for the war effort, neutralizing heretical mass movements through force of personality and threat of overwhelming force, precision strikes against heretical cults, and even social subversion of heretical organizers to mission-kill cells. Project Ultima Ratio is the shining hammer of the Great Maker, a herald of next-generation Alchemical design, and a beacon of hope for Kamak.

    Catalyzed from a soul with a well established record of leading others in dangerous situations, often involving self-sacrifice, Incandescent Ray of Judgement has the necessary mental fortitude and strength of character to lead the Populat against even the most menacing voidborn threats. Notable past lives include, in chronological order:
    • Fire Suppression team leader who convinced their team to make three attempts to reach the activation lever for the High Risk Containment System during a high intensity fire at Hazardous Materials Disposal Facility 014. The team perished on the third attempt, but successfully activated the containment measures where failure would have necessitated the permanent evacuation of several habitation blocks and adjacent industrial nodes.
    • Morale Officer who mobilized panicked and fleeing workers during a catastrophic meltdown of Essence Reactor 376 to work to contain the reaction. The efficacy of their efforts are difficult to determine, but all of the workers had already been exposed to lethal doses of Lightning essence, and their final moments could not have been better spent.
    • Lector whose fiery invectives when captured were sufficient to fragment a heretical voidbringer cult. In the ensuing chaos the cult was exposed and eradicated by a rapid response high threat regulator team. The lector was declared deceased upon arrival.
    • An officer who, during a resource acquisition mission in the Reaches, rallied several groups of fleeing soldiers to make an assault against overwhelming enemy numbers to break a much larger encirclement of allied forces, successfully liberating the pocket despite horrendous casualties. Nearly half the expedition made it back alive, and after succumbing to their wounds they were posthumously awarded the Hero of the Populat.

    CLASSIFIED MATERIAL - Ultraviolet Clearance - for Tripartite Eyes Only
    Known project risks:
    Incandescent Ray of Judgement has displayed a concerning level of codependence on her assembly. Despite every design specification and statistical projection based on the history of her soul, she has not taken the expected leadership position, instead ceding command authority to others. She demonstrates a counterproductive level of concern for collateral damage, deferring to Unexpected Flowering of Heroic Fortitude instead of duly appointed Tripartite liaisons for final go-codes on deploying her arsenal within urban environments. She takes little initiative in seeking heresy, leaving target selection entirely to Hot Needle of Inquiry. When not presented with a clear and present threat to the people she indulges excessively in recreational substances and 'morale-building' exercises that engender in the populat an unhealthy level of familiarity unbefitting a Champion of the Great Maker. When suitably motivated she demonstrates an admirable level of enthusiasm for the eradication of the enemies of the Great Maker. Consideration should be given to manufacturing such motivating threats in the event the enemies of the Great Maker evade our ever watchful eyes unduly long, to better keep Incandescent Ray of Judgement's attention better focused on the will of the Great Maker.

    Her cult of personality is growing and should be monitored for deviancy. Despite her short operational lifetime she has demonstrated herself a potent propaganda tool and an extremely capable combat asset, so the primary project objectives have been met, but these design flaws should be studied and corrected in future projects. Given her value to the Theomachracy, corrective re-education should be exhausted before any consideration of project termination.
