==='''Tepet Tilis Tenac'''<br>===
 
Concept: Solar Media Mogul <br>
 
''An older man with greying hair, a trim pushbroom mustache, and an enthusiasm about getting the news out that borders on psychosis.''<br>
 
Ess 3, Compassion 2, Conviction 4, Temperance 2, Valor 4 -- Willpower 10<br>
 
<u>Motivation:</u> To create a network of news and information that spans all of Creation<br>
 
<u>Intimacies:</u> News (Obsession), The Freedom of the Press (Belief + Righteous Lion Defense), Spider-Lunar (Irrational hatred)<br>
 
<u>Social:</u> He's not very good at talking to people face to face, coming off as abrasive. However, he's amazing with Linguistics and his high Integrity ensures that he's hard to convince of something he insists is wrong.<br>
 
 
<u>Misc notes:</u> Tenac has used Lore Training charms and Bureaucracy to make a well-run media organization of extremely skilled reporters. Even the mortal reporters are likely to have abilities applicable to their jobs that are at 3 dots or higher.

<u>Misc notes:</u> Despite his exaltation as a Zenith, his son was still killed by Dragonblooded of Houses Tepet and Peleps, he still bears both houses a small grudge. He owns a several large Vineyards in the shelter valleys of his Kingdom, which he is turning into a major enterprise which he has shared with House V'neef. His province had a large quantity of sun cultists anyway, so he takes his duties as a Priest of Ignus Divine very seriously indeed, offering council where required. His primary weapon when words won't suffice is a massive two handed solar sabre with a simple cross guard.

===Killian ab Kascras===
 
Concept: Excitable mad scientist, Twilight Caste<br>
 
''An androgynous humanoid, slender to the point of seeming unnatural, his head reshaped with strange bony ridges for increased heat dispersal, hands modified for superhuman dexterity and fine scales partially replacing his skin. An air of nervous energy surrounds him as the same overclocked metabolism that speeds his thoughts and limbs leads to him perpetually outpacing himself. His speech is clipped and rapid, full of ellipses as each sentence contains only the minimum number of words required to convey his meaning. Cheerfully unconcerned with appearances, politics or ethics Killian seems to live only for the next problem to catch the attention of his prodigious intellect.''<br>
 
Ess 4, Compassion 1, Conviction 4, Temperance 1, Valor 2 -- Willpower 7<br>
 
<u>Motivation:</u> Solve the greatest problems and intellectual challenges of Creation and beyond.<br>
 
<u>Intimacies:</u> Intellectual Challenges (love, obsession), Authority/Politics/Ethics (cheerful disregard), His Lunar Mate (distant affection), Nomoe Hideaki (friendship, built 2/4) <br>
 
 
<u>Social:</u> Little ability or interest, though he does have a rather nice singing voice.<br>
 
<u>Combat:</u> Archery, powered armor, and a variety of shooty artifacts<br>
 
<u>Charms:</u> Craft, Occult, Medicine: YES<br>
 
<u>Misc notes:</u> Killian takes part in Deliberative activities only insofar as they either promise to yield interesting problems for him or due to the prodding of his Lunar Mate. But due to his capabilities and utter disinterest in political gain a rather large number of Deliberators come to him instead to consult him on various matters - a fact which his Lunar mate often manages to take advantage of in one little way or another. Inspired by Mordin Solus from Mass Effect.<br>

''A brown haired young woman with bark bound in strips in her hair, who favours long flowing green robes and bejeweled multifaceted Moonsilver spectacles, her youth much like Snow's belies her age. Known to many as the formost knowledge on plants of creation, Lily is much sought after No Moon amongst the Deliberative.''<br>

<u> Goals/Tactics: </u> Falls is an oddity, he is primarily tasked with destroying civilisations and cultures the Winding Path wants torn down. He does so primarily through a combination of subtle social prodding, charms and sheer terror. Assassination is a favourite tools of his, only exceeded by pretending to be those he has just murdered. His presence in the deliberative puzzles many of the Lunar's who know him, many eager to find out what brings this tool of destruction to the Halls of power.<br>

<u>Misc notes:</u> Falls is a Changing Moon, he is also a noted ally of Amoth City-Smiter, possibly his only ally besides Vathrek. His loyalty to the Winding Path is absolute and some whisper he was once an early test subject for some Lunar Elder with nefarious purposes. Bizarrely despite his loyalty to the Winding Path he is a part of neither faction.<br>

===Aged Root===
 
''A young man of pale completion, with dark eyes and obviously possessing some Ghost Blood. Originally from the West, he has claimed his position in the deliberative only recently, siding predominately with the Heirarchists.''<br>
 
Ess 2, Compassion 3, Conviction 3, Temperance 2, Valour 3 -- Willpower 6<br>
 
<u> Goals/Tactics: </u> Root often argues that the Deliberative begin expanding more aggressively pointing to areas in every direction they could expand to, predominately in the North and the South. He is young and inexperienced with politics so tends to make his points poorly, often supported by his Solar Mate, Darkest Dawn.<br>
 
<u>Misc notes:</u> Full Moon, though only recently made so as he spent sometime as a Casteless. He and his Mate are of the same mind about expansion, though many fear he is but a puppet for the Silver Prince.<br>
 
 
 
===Iridescent Lightning===
 
Concept:  Dragonfly-totem duelist, Changing Moon Caste<br>
 
''A young man with metallic blue and green hair who moves with the natural grace of a dancer or a fencer. He favors loose tunics in bright colors, open at the back to allow the shimmering wings of his spirit form to come forth. He exults in the freedom of the sky and the speed and agility bestowed by his beloved wings, be it in human form, in spirit shape or anywhere in between, and rarely walks where he can fly. Moonsilver tattoos gleam on his skin, showing a number of debts incurred and obligations earned, reflecting the ease with which he takes offense and his preferred method settling such matters - the duel. He is rarely seen without his favourite weapon, a long, slender sword of hardened glass.''<br>
 
Ess 5, Compassion 2, Conviction 3, Temperance 1, Valor 5 -- Willpower 8<br>
 
<u>Motivation:</u> To help his people grow into a strong and self-sufficient society.<br>
 
<u>Intimacies:</u> The Silver Pact, The Thousand Streams River, His people, *various friends and allies*, Nomoe Hideaki<br>
 
<u>Social:</u> Quite capable in terms of Abilities and Charms but rash and quick to lose his temper.<br>
 
<u>Combat:</u> A duelist of considerable skill, but less strong in a mass battle.<br>
 
<u>Artifacts:</u> A glass reaver daiklave of some power.<br>
 
<u>Misc notes:</u> Iridescent Lightning splits his time between the nation he is guiding as part of the Thousand Streams River, located to the far North East and now surrounded on all sides by the tides of the Wyld, and the Deliberative where he argues on the sides of Elevationists and Hierarchists by turns, refusing to let himself be pinned down into one of the factions. Among his chosen people he is known as the Arbiter, a wandering divinity they can appeal to for mediation in disputes, for advice when all else fails, and for justice where laws and traditions are corrupted and turned against itself. If they can find him, that is, and the Arbiter's actions are rarely what they'd expect.<br>

<u>Misc notes:</u> He has Past Life 5 and is extremely skilled in Occult, Investigation, and Lore. However, he simply hasn't had the time to learn many charms or a lot of sorcery, despite having more then enough knowledge to put them into practice. <br>

==='''Peace and War'''<br>===
 
Concept: A child of Serenity and Chosen of Battles <br>
 
''A red-eyed and short blue haired ten year old boy. Often he is disconcerting, appearing too knowledgeable about a variety of topics including human relations for his age. ''<br>
 
Ess 3 (/), Compassion 5, Conviction 2, Temperance 2, Valor 4 -- Willpower 9 <br>
 
<u>Motivation:</u>To make sure Wars are fought when they should be and that the Peace remains unbroken in the meantime. <br>
 
<u>Intimacies:</u> The Maiden of Serenity, The Maiden of Battles, Arlat<br>
 
<u>Social:</u> Socially Peace tends to be forceful and somewhat blunt with other peoples secrets but tends to do so in such a way to manipulate them. Given a few more years of practice he will no doubt be a very talented politician. PDV 5, MDV 8, <br>
 
<u>Combat:</u> Knows up to the form of VBoS and several charms Melee charms<br>
 
<u>Goals/tactics:</u> His goal is to see Fate and the Exalted host work in harmony, especially with regards to his mother and his patron's interests.<br>
 
<u>Artefacts:</u> A Starmetal Reaper Daiklave, named Thrice-Blessed, and an assortment of Blue Jade ornaments gifted to him by his mother. <br>
 
<u>Misc notes:</u> His god-blooded inheritance though substantial was washed away by his exultation, though he still bears the material gifts of his mother. His tutoring has been flawless and he is both skilled meleeist, martial artist, singer and leader of people. Dislikes Brazen. Votes mostly neautrally between the two factions as neither's politics much interest him.<br>
 
 
===Unfortunate Si===
 
Concept: Child burdened with overwhelming secrets and responsibilities, Secrets Caste <br>
 
''A little girl of perhaps nine years in severe robes of light-devouring black that make her seem even paler than she'd otherwise be. Shackle scars ring her wrists and the faint golden shimmer of orichalcum threads around her eyes shows where powerful magics have returned to her the eyes burned out by Magog's twisted experiments. She carries no visible weapons of any sort, but several pieces of small, intricate Moonsilver jewelry may not be quite as innocuous as they seem. There's a key she carries on a necklace at all times, which seems to be a burden beyond its material weight to a sharp-eyed observer.''<br>
 
Ess 4, Compassion 3, Conviction 3, Temperance 3, Valor 2 -- Willpower 8<br>
 
<u>Motivation:</u> To gain the acceptance and respect of her supposed peers despite her young age.<br>
 
<u>Intimacies:</u> Yu-Shan and Creation (belonging, protectiveness), The gods who raised her (love), The Forbidding Manse of Ivy/the office of Record Keeper (resigned acceptance of duty), her Sidereal mentor (admiration, fear), Alchemicals and other Autochthonian technology (irrational fear), Nomoe Hideaki (gratitude, hero worship) <br>
 
 
<u>Social:</u> Perceptive and adept enough at manipulation of assumptions and secrets, but little natural charisma or Charms; brought up by gods in Yu-Shan her demeanor and manners would appear slightly odd to Creation-born<br>
 
<u>Combat:</u> Knows VBoS fundamentals but prefers stealth, running away, or sorcery (including demons)<br>
 
<u>Artifacts:</u> A key that opens many doors in the Forbidding Manse of Ivy, Moonsilver jewelry without obvious function<br>
 
<u>Misc notes:</u> Unfortunate Si was named so for the many and varied misfortunes heaped upon her during her young life, most prominent among them the abduction by the Lion's Abyssals and the abominable experiments of the rogue Alchemical patropolis Magog. She bears the name as she does her destiny, with outward stoicism and even a little pride, but she'd rather be free of both. Of course there is no way out, and even if there was it wouldn't be one she'd be capable of taking, Si understands resignedly. So she struggles to keep up with the demands made of her, working toward the day when she can be equal to them. Considering the powers and responsibilities she bears despite her young age she resents being treated as a child or otherwise as anything less than an equal, but knowing how it would be perceived she hides it.<br>
 
In Deliberative votes Si most often follows the lead of her Sidereal mentor, but has been known to - very rarely - voice polite dissent as well. In political terms she'd probably be counted as a Hierarchist. She is known to be a personal acquaintance and ally of Nomoe Hideaki following her rescue from Magog.

===Quiet Shadow of the Servant's Heart===
 
Concept: Reformed Abyssal who acts as a personal aide, professional assistiant, and general "gofer" for her Celestial patron. <br>
 
''Appearance/description'' Of average hight and unhealthily slender build, Shadow prefers to wear a dark green cloak to hide her figure, under it having red hair with white bangs framing her face and green eyes that give the uncomfortable appearance of seeing through to the soul and finding it wanting. She is never seen in public without matching green, elbow-length gloves as well, seeming to prefer covering as much of her alabaster skin as possible.<br>
 
Ess 3 (/), Compassion 4, Conviction 2, Temperance 2, Valor 1 -- Willpower 6<br>
 
<u>Motivation:</u> To serve the Celestial Deliberative and her patron to the best of her ability, regardless of the assignment, to purge herself of the guilt of the actions she performed in the service of the Neverborn.<br>
 
<u>Intimacies:</u> Patron (+), Celestial Deliberative (+), Surely-Refulgent Anshu (-) <br>
 
 
<u>Social:</u> PDV , MDV , <br>
 
<u>Combat:</u> DDV , Soak: (), HL: -0, -1, -1, -1, -2, -2, -2, -2, -4, Incap<br>
 
<u>Attacks/Charms/Combos:</u> Shadow prefers to, well, strike from the shadows, using stealth Charms to conceal herself before, during, and after she strikes, knowing Atrocity Without Witness and Mist Over Ice. A pair of soulsteel short daiklaves are her weapons of choice, with Undying Stagnation Defense being used when things turn against her.<br>
 
 
<u>Artifacts:</u> Soulsteel Short Daiklave (pair) <br>
 
<u>Misc notes:</u> There are those who whisper that Shadow hasn't actually reformed at all, but rather that both she and her Terrestrial patron have agreed to a mutually benifical state of affairs for as long as their interests coincide, and that each has a plan for 'dealing with' the other at the slightest hint of betrayal...  <br>
