				The place for revised and sanctioned player character sheets. ST will post the sheets here she deems appropriate for the game and is allowed for play. Please, allthough do not metagame character information given on the character sheets, which also includes hidden [by the PC] background information. Background information may be learned through the course of roleplay.

				The Frequently Asked [or possible] Question Board.<br><br><br>1Q) Why is this board located in Bondage and the Like: Exotic?<br><br>1A) Well, seeing as slavery is still very much a part of Creation, it would still fall within at least the Bondage and the Like or No Consent, yet I do not want rape in my game as I don't believe the Solars would go out raping people and I don't believe anyone would dare attempt to rape them. If rape was to happen, it would happen off-screen and we'll leave it at that. So that leaves, Why "Exotic"? Well, Creation is full of exotic things, exotic creatures, exotic genders and the works. So, of course it would fit in this. Afterall, not all the sentient beings on Creation are male, female and human.<br><br>2Q) How do I address problems I have with a certain player?<br><br>2A) Well, as I am also a Goddess as well as the GM, you'd doubly take it up with me in PM or via Messenger. But, if you need a view from without [another Goddess not associated with the game] take it up with them via PM. If you have a problem with me as a GM and don't agree, take it up with me in PM, I'm understanding. ^.^ Now, if you have a problem with me in general, take it up with another Goddess and we'll get me straightened out if I am in error.<br><br>3Q) Where do I send my character sheets once I am done using them. Do I simply post them on the character sheet board?<br><br>3A) You send your sheets to me via PM, or e-mail [e-mail is more preferable and use my g-mail account; zulokitty@gmail.com if you don't know it] And, I will post the character sheets that are verified by myself and allowed in play.<br><br>4Q) I want to be a badass lone wolf type character, can I be that?<br><br>4A) The short answer is simply no. You can be a badass, just not a lone wolf.The longer answer is: As this game is a group setting and I wish to have a circle, please be mindful when creating a character and make them at least have a reason to be a part of the circle in a long term manner that would give it better cohesion.<br><br>5Q) Is this game primarly a sex-romp?<br><br>5A) No, it is not. But being it Exalted, sex is a definate thing that will happen. Sexual society is also more open based, although you personally may not be into homosexuality or bisexuality, it doesn't mean it does not exist in Exalted. Simply put, you're not forced through those sexual encounters [doubly so since it's not N.C.] so, your character can refuse, keep refusing, get irritated and bitchslap the boi-toy...just be carefuly where you do, he might like it. ^_~<br><br>5Q) Do I have to be Appearance 4+ to get any play [sexually]?<br><br>5A) No, not really, the way Exalted is now [via second edition] even an appearance 1 can get some play [if they play there cards right] and just because you're beautiful doesn't automatically garner success that anyone who sees you will fall in your lap and beg for more.<br><br>5Q) I need help with my character, can you help me?<br><br>5A) Ask nicely and tell me what your problem is and I can help. I will although not make the character for you, that would be boring, but I can in fact give you pointers. As well, ask your fellow players for help too. I'm sure they'd like to give you a hand.<br><br><br>[More to be added later.]

				Not much to add here aside from the House Rules aspects of the game.<br><br>Use standard character creation method. It is said that you've been Exalted for at least a year [mainly for training for your starting Charms, starting artifacts and such.] Refer to the Setting as to where to place your character and what languages you should take.<br><br>Naming: I do not care to see real world names here at all. Naming comes in various formats. From the Title/Deed Names that Abyssals, Barbarian Tribes, people who name themselves and those (un)fortunate to be well known for something that their nickname replaces their real name. As for Asian sounding names, they're more common-place closer to the Blessed Ilse and it's a mixture of Chinese, Korean and Japanese names. So, have fun with it and mix and match to make a nice new exotic name.&nbsp; The third form is rather simple and seen nearly everywhere in the real world as well, names composing of a two word format, one of their real name and the other of their family name. Some people revere their family name while others revere their first.<br><br>Motivation: I want an epic motivation, something that could change Creation or at least a part of it. Solar Motivations are also allowed, like converting an Abyssal for example.<br><br>Intimacies: Every character has something they care for, even the most selfish, diabolical person in Creation does. So, be mindful when creating Intimacies, as well, think big on some of them, do not get so detailed orientated. You could say as the book suggested "I love my sword, my horse and my country." You can have other intimacies as well, like fine wining, dining and *coughs* fucking. Heh heh, yep. You can have slutty intimacies, but you should have at least something or someone(s) to tie to it instead of the general concept.<br><br>Character Background [Non-Played Prelude]: All characters are required a detailed background, more so, answering all the questions in the book in at least one or two sentences and please make it coherent so we can flesh out your character.<br><br>Stats &amp; Abilities: You may have at least 1 Stat and Ability maxed out at the start, but it must be included as to why in your background story. Everything in this game isn't combat, but you should be able to at least defend yourself. As well, no one is talented in all the fields from the start, so be careful when making a generalist.<br><br>Languages: Your character is highly recommended to know Riverspeak. The most important one of all the trading languages in this game. Now it's recommended and not enforced, so eh, you can go without it if you want...just better find an interpreter.<br><br>Appearance: Appearance is important but in the same time it isn't. You do not need to be Appearance 4+ to get lays. In fact, sometimes a really high Appearance is a <strong>bad</strong> thing, afterall, you'll definately be more memoriable if you were either hediious or extravagantly beautiful. <br><br>Backgrounds: Some things are new changes, for example the Artifacts now. Of course you can have multiple artifacts, but don't go crazy here. All artifacts [even level 1] are under my discretion.<br><br>Charms: No Home-Brewed Charms at character creation. The list of Charms they give as suggestions is as well, as I will say suggested to take. They make a well rounded character, they're only a suggestion, you do not have to take suggestions.<br><br>Sorcery: Sorcery follows the dictated rules in the book, no real change here. No homebrewed spells at start.<br><br>Combos: All Combos are to be earned during gameplay and help constructed with the ST [me].

			<dd class="postbody">
				This game takes mainly in the Threshold particularly in the Confederation of Rivers [or Scavenger Lands] and the various nations near them [The Hundred Kingdoms for example.]<br><br>With following of the couse of the story based on the Solars returning, the Realm in chaos and the Fair Folk playing with the borders of Creation. The world is falling into a bout of Chaos with all the Celestials coming out of the woodwork. This is both a good thing and a bad thing [Abyssals for example]. Yet, they're not the only ones about to turn up and show their heads. Something else, something far more menacing then the Abyssals themselves is lurking, attempting to find a manner to escape into Creation and wreck having amongst the living and the dead...<br><br>The story starts off in a small village south-west of the creepy city of Sijan where the characters are answering an inhuman call, almost as if a lure to get them there. Why they're compelled to go here? No one knows...yet, as the clouds nearby turn from their bright, sunny disposiston and light cover into a full overcast of dark, damp despair, the Circle knows something is up...and it isn't good.

				All right.&nbsp; I'll see if I can get my character hammered out by tonight.<br><br>EDIT: Ugh.&nbsp; Low on time and inspiration, but I've got a basic Charm list hammered out.&nbsp; Will probably be going with a Great Forksian Dawn, Melee-focused but with competent leadership skills.<br><br>ZK, any idea at what rate XP will be awarded?

				Does anyone know where I might find Exalted 2E rules for player charecters begining with Wyld Mutations?&nbsp; Specificly, i'm looking at adapting a concept from a book Bishrook and I are writing to Exalted.&nbsp; The charecter Bjorna Frost Dotter is a giant, 3 meters tall, so I'd like to give her the Pox Large.&nbsp; I'm perfectly happy to pay freebie points, give up charms, or both.&nbsp;

				Well, if the Motivation isn't obtuse, it should work reguardless of the plot. As your Motivation is a long term goal and it will take a long, long time [if ever] to accomplish it. If you have a Solar Motivation, it's a bit easier [slightly] to earn a new one.

				How's this for a motivation for a war like Zenith?&nbsp; Shining Bright kind of woke me up and demanded that I write it.&nbsp; <br><br><br>As the imaculate abot called for a moment of silence in contemplation of the right order of the universe and the violations of it represented by Ahlat and his 10,000 mortal brides, one of those brides stood from the congregation and bound to a pulpit.&nbsp; "I am Shining Bright, and I have come here in peace to adress you, Abot, and the Imaculate Order, and the Leopard, and the representitves of the empress, may she live forever, and the loyal people of Harborhead.&nbsp; <br><br>"Whispers among the Brides of Ahlat warm that you contemplate the Blossoming of Sorrowful Violence against us for our loyalty to our husband, but I come in peace.&nbsp; Whispers among the people of Harborhead speak of violence, tribe against tribe, mortal opressed against dragon blooded protector, Harborhead against Yane, and yet I stand for unity.&nbsp; <br><br>"To our north and west, great evils lurk.&nbsp; Armies of beasts sally forth from the Nameless Lair of Mah Ha Suchi.&nbsp; Thousands die to yearly to sate the hunger of the Queen of fangs, and a mountain of dead flesh, crawling with ghosts and zombies, sits above city of Thorns, once as loyal to the Realm as we of Harborhead still are...&nbsp; For the momemt.&nbsp; <br><br>"So I call upon you all, chosen of the imaculate dragons and leaders of Harborhead, to cease your internal strife.&nbsp; I call upon you all to march together as the glorious citizents of creation that we are against the enemies of all creation.&nbsp; I call upon you all to show the gods in heaven and the citizents of the Realm, loyal and disloyal alike, how the Princes of Creation stand ready to lead us against Creations greatest foes and the warriors of Harborhead stand ready to follow with spears in hand and songs on our lips."&nbsp; <br><br>The Leopard trembled, and the satrap spat, and the abot made a gesture for the usurper to be interupted.&nbsp; <br><br>In moments, a dozen arrows flew at Shining Bright.&nbsp; All flew true, all struck there mark, and all exploded against bare flesh momentarily hard as iron.&nbsp; The bride of Ahlat blazed with the power of the Unconquered Sun as she bellowed, "Then you leave me no choice but to do myself that which is the duty of princes of creation.&nbsp; Look to your duty, Dragon Blooded of the Realm, or look to your crowns, for who am I who have taken your duty not to take your crown?"&nbsp;
