An Explanation for Such Abject Twinkery

Ledaal Hadronyche Chulin is a dragon-blooded character in a game otherwise entirely composed of celestial exalts. My goal was to create a character who could compete on an even field with them. In this I believe he succeeded admirably, going head to head with Moray Darktide in his first session, fighting him to a standstill while destroying his fleet, and eventually becoming the party's primary tank.

Off the battlefield (and occasionally on it, too), Chulin's abysmal temperance (and inability to keep his mouth shut) got him into scrape after scrape (as well as bed after bed). Along the way, he has managed to wreck the Silver Prince's fleet command via infighting, forge an alliance between Autochthonia and the Realm, and nearly annihilate the icewalker barbarians. Not bad work for a servant of the Realm.
