===Questions & Answers===
'''How old are you?''' I will turn 21 sometime this year, but I am not sure when exactly. When I was very young my parents would tell me when my birthday arrived, but that was before I understood dates or calenders. Later as a child I used to secretly pretend that the Calibration festivities were for me. These days I understand why and I do not pretend anymore, although I still think of Calibration as my date of birth. A time outside of time, in the nowhere between one year and the next, I like that. It is a reminder not to think too highly of myself.

'''What was your family life like?''' My parents loved and protected me, but there was something they feared, which they needed to run from. I am afraid that whatever that was found them, but I am even more afraid that the reason they left me behind might have been something else. One day I will find out. After that Wisdom of the Eastern Wind and his friends were my parents. It is probably not normal to grow up among such people, wise, weird, powerful, learned, peculiar and any possible combination thereof. And apparently not everyone is taught to read and write, to think and fight from such an early age. Radiance thinks they filled my head with strange ideas, but I count myself privileged to have grown up among and be allowed to learn from them all.

'''Where are you from?''' Originally? I'm not sure, though I have put together some fragments of memory that suggest my parents and I passed through Nexus from the North-East. More recently my home was the monastery of Wisdom of the Eastern Wind, where I lived until ten months ago when I was sent out to learn of the world.

'''How were you Exalted?''' Afterward I was made out to be some sort of hero, but really all I did was do my best to help the people that had been nice to me. I had been forced to defend myself before and I had made mistakes - been too lenient and allowed others to come to harm or been too zealous and had killed. It was with that Deathknight that I first found the right balance. I saw a way to end his life and the suffering that he might bring to the world, but I also saw that I might help him. I do not know exactly why there are those such as him, but I believe it is a choice they make - and choices can be reconsidered if there is someone to remind them that they should. And so I took the middle way, defeating him but not ending his current incarnation, hoping that I might stimulate some insight in him, help him. Perhaps that was why I was given this ... catalyst of enlightenment. But I cannot be sure.

'''When did you meet your companions?''' There is a story for each of them. Larana I found following her reputation among the learned. I came to her for help and she was very kind in giving it to me. We spoke of many things and I found myself sympathetic to her plans to build a better world. At first sight my own path appears to be quite different, but just like her I am hoping that changes I can bring about in the world will help people. So that much we do have in common.

Radiance I encountered at a crossroads and immediately recognized as a martial artist from his walk. We tested our respective skills against one another and I found him a true master of his chosen weapon as well as a fellow Solar Exalted. Since we were both on our way to the city of Nexus we agreed to make the rest of the journey together. Though he is unmistakably a good man Radiance dearly needs to learn the virtue of patience, self-control and temperance and I have decided to help him with that.

'''How has power changed you?''' I dearly hope that is has not. Strength lacked or possessed should not be a factor in determining my thoughts and actions. Regardless of success or failure, if my intentions are pure then so is my karma. Certainly I am not as perfect as I would like, but I do my best. That I am now more likely to succeed ... it is nice, but I do fear that I might lose sight of what is truly important.

'''What do you think of mortals?''' None of us Exalted are immortal, nor are gods from what I have learned. So why that distinction? Merely because some live longer than others? In any case, every mortal has the capability to reach enlightenment, if not in this life then in the next or one of the infinite number after that. Certainly I now have great power, but that in no way sets me above them just as my strength did not set me above those weaker than myself before I was Exalted. It does not change anything in that regard, really.

'''What motivates you to be a hero?''' *shrug* I am who and what I am. I do what I do because I think it is the right thing to do, the same as everybody else.

'''Who or what do you worship?''' I do not worship. I follow the Noble Path as taught to me by my teacher and I will be glad to speak to you about it in more detail, but it is not worship. I have spoken to gods and they might have called it prayer, but they do not, perhaps cannot, understand. If Sol Invictus, Luna and the five Maidens came before me I would be respectful, just as I would in the presence of a mortal teacher. But any more than that and I would have lost sight of the things that truly matter.

'''What would drive you to commit murder?''' I ... I would like to say that there is nothing that could drive me to murder. But that would be dishonest. I am not perfect, I am not a saint despite what have said, I have not reached the transcendent enlightenment I seek. So sadly it is quite possible, that I could be driven to murder despite my best efforts. I do not know what someone adept at manipulating me might induce me to do. I do not know what I would do if I lost one whom I love. I can only hope.
