Editing Missekai'd: A Cortex Genre Mashup:Sylia (section)

==Distinctions==
'''Lunar Exalted d8:''' In a distant, more malleable reality, the greatest among the gods imbued exceptional mortals with fragments of their power and sent them forth to cast down the indolent and destructive titans, Creators of the world, from their rule. Some of these fragments pass from hero to hero through the ages, choosing a new host to Exalt when their previous dies. Sylia has inherited the power of Luna, Incarnate of the Moon, warden of the Wyld and lover of Gaia, granting her supreme breadth of ability, the power to take the forms of other animals and people, and mastery of physical form and expression. In this different world, the Essence that fuels her is harder to come by. She used to be able to imitate superior mortal levels of skill in anything, but now is limited to her more specific and well-practiced abilities. She's not used to this.

'''The Coin-Scaled Serpent d8:''' Sylia believes that the harsh truth of the world - any world - is that she needs wealth and power to effect lasting change, or merely to secure safety and stability for herself. Even when her circumstances are less than ideal, she strives to maintain the image of strength and success. Like any good con artist, she's cultivated an air of naked self-interest and intimate charisma, making sure that those she's dealing with are sure they're not the mark this time and that her enemies think any misstep is just some part of a grand plan. Her larger-than-life portrayal of herself is often - and intentionally - a useful distraction for her allies to get things done.

'''Balancer of Scales d8:''' What differentiates Sylia from any other ambitious would-be Guild Factor is that she aims the power she gathers at overturning the very system she's working within. Back in Creation, she took great pains to seperate her public persona as Sylia the merchant-prince from the Balancer of Scales, a Lunar warlord openly wearing the form of a slain merchant-prince (Sylia's former boss) who strikes mainly at slave caravans and 'development initiatives' in new markets. The breakdown of that separation is largely what led to the tragedies she left behind in Creation.
