Type: Solar

Pursuit: Perfection in all things

Motivation: To Prove Herself In All Aspects of Battle

Essence: 3

Motes: Personal 21 Peripheral 34

Qualities

Good [+2] Solar Exalted: Dawn

The Dawn caste are the warriors, generals and tacticians of the Exalted. Caste Powers: For 5 motes a dawn caste is surrounded by an aura of awesome power and fearsome strength. When first activated this power is an attack which affects all mortals within sight of the Dawn Caste using their Exalted Quality MOD (The attack inflicts failure ranks and is resisted by courage and discipline based qualities), mortals who see the Dawn's terrifying aura for the first time in a scene are automatically attacked as well. For the rest of the scene the Dawn adds his Exalted Quality MOD to all rolls made to intimidate or awe, whether the target is mortal, exalted, or spirit (mindless automata and walking dead are immune however). The Exalt may also make 'attacks' (inflicting Failure Ranks) based on his fearsome presence while the anima power continues. Caste Qualities: The dawn are chosen warriors of the Exalted and thus favor skill and profession type qualities related to martial arts, weapon skills, combat tactics, battle leadership, and the like. Examples: Swordsman, Bare-knuckle Brawling, General, Deadly Marksman, Peerless Tactician.

Master [+6] One Woman Legion

The blood of a warrior family runs through Fred's veins - taking life comes as naturally to her as breathing, and even without her family's heirloom sword Leviathan, she can pick any weapon she chooses, or even none at all, and massacre an army of men. Unfortunately, her talents do not extend to leading men to battle... but then again, she doesn't have to.

Charm: Solar Excellency

Charm: Mountain-Cleaving Stroke - Essence raging around her weapon, Fred delivers an almighty blow which can rearrange the landscape, slay men from the sheer force of its passing, or just hit something very, very hard.

Charm: Echoes of the Edge - The master attacks but once, but his enemies feel his blows many times. Being hit by this Charm is not unlike being attacked five times in the space of a single stroke.
Charm: Deadly Swordswoman Meditation - Performing a short, ritual salute to the enemies she will soon slay, Fred focuses her body and mind to the task of battle, becoming a dervish of blood and pain and death on the battlefield...

Master [+6] Dragon Sword "Leviathan" (Artifact)

Passed down from generation to generation of the Kriegshun family, Leviathan is a massive, grand daiklave-sized weapon that will only allow the successor of the family's martial tradition to attune it. However, once it acknowledges its master, it becomes amazingly light in the hand, and more importantly, its bearer may command it to disjoin its segmented blade to attack and defend like a sentient, bladed whip.

Expert [+4] Spirit Strengthens The Skin

The true warrior disciplines his mind, and does not permit his flesh to gainsay his will. Through sheer force of will, Fred can overcome such minor difficulties as exhaustion, injury, poison and broken limbs, to say nothing of what such willpower can do against mental attacks...

Charm: Temptation-Resisting Stance - Bringing her mental focus to bear, Fred shrugs off the innumerable temptations of the world.

Charm: Impervious Sanctity of Mind - There is nothing the disciplined mind cannot do - rejecting the compulsions of supernatural beings and others being one of them...

Charm: Iron Skin Concentration - Her spirit and Essence reinforcing her frame, Fred bolsters her resistance to physical attack with the strength of her conviction.

Charm: Adamant Skin Technique - Even when hit by an assault which would slay a lesser man, Fred's indomitable will refuses to allow her to fall.

Expert [+4] Terrifying Apparition of Glory

While her Caste's anima power already permits her to strike terror into the hearts of all who see her, she has further refined this art into a weapon worthy of the Leviathan she carries.

Charm: Prey-Freezing Gaze - The master can kill with but a glance - the flashing sword is a mere formality! Drawing on her Essence and anima, Fred crushes the will of her opponent so thoroughly that he can do nothing but cower helplessly before her.

Charm: Majestic Radiant Presence - Awesome; to inspire awe, fear and respect. When Fred assumes this form, her bearing becomes regal, her poise is immaculate, and her every movement compels obedience from those who see her. Well, except from Temujin, who'll try to hit on her anyway.

Poor [-2] Great Curse: Forsaken

Unfortunately, being a glowing demigod of combat and terror has its drawbacks. Fred's so good at it that the rest of her character has become horribly stunted - she doesn't know how to interact with most normal people without scaring them or ordering them around, which often leads to her being quietly shunned by the people around her.

Poor [-2] Can Not Spit It Out

She also finds it difficult to articulate her feelings which don't relate to battle - such as her weakness for cute little animals, or how she doesn't really mind being a housewife, but everyone keeps thinking of her as a warrior Amazon, so she has to live up to their expectations. It doesn't help that her aura of menace tends to scare off the cute things she likes so much, so she doesn't have much chance to practice NOT being a terror-emitting death machine without looking like a complete pillock.

Poor [-2] Terribly Tsundere

So her standard pattern of behavior around Temujin tends to be beating him up for some slight, then immediately realizing it might scare him off and running off to hide until he goes up to ask her what's wrong (and slap her ass while he's at it... at which point the whole cycle repeats). Although, to be fair, this is exactly how she behaves around most people, but they usually only get to see the "beating people up" side of her.

Special Move: Serpent Sword Attack! - By disjoining Leviathan's segments, Fred can make huge, sweeping strikes or tremendously long-ranged stabs at up to ten times her weapon's normal reach. Also has the nifty benefit of being able to strike around corners, parries and other physical obstructions.

Possessions: Leviathan, body armor, her horse, various weapons, travelling cloak.

XP Expenditure: 12 XP - 1 Quality improvements to Expert, Essence 2 to 3
