Editing Character:Surely-Refulgent Anshu (section)

==Backgrounds==
===Artifact • (green jade [[Once_more_with_feeling/Custom_Artifacts#Infinite_Resonance_Rings|Intimate Resonance Rings]])===
Attune cost: 2m (from Cerise's mote pools)<br>
This artifact is a set of genital piercings, permanently locked in place in various erogenous zones on Anshu's body.

Cerise can play the link of Essence like a snare, gently strumming to make the rings resonate with the attunement and vibrate against the delicate places in which they are set. This is effectively a medium for Performance-based social attacks to make Anshu indulge in the inevitably resulting physical needs.

===Artifact •• (The Mighty Claws of Rumasa Lanan)===
Attune Cost: 6m<br>
This set of razor claws, crafted entirely from orichalcum, belonged to a First Age Solar, Rumasa Lanan, who created a martial arts style now lost to the mists of time. An Old Realm inscription along the vambraces reads “The Mighty Claws of Rumasa Lanan”; if his (or her, the inscription gives no clues) tomb or manse could be found, perhaps some of the secrets of the lost style could be rediscovered, but the claws themselves give no clue to the tomb's location.

The razor claws themselves are exquisitely crafted, and the blades can be retracted or extended as a miscellaneous action (as drawing or readying a weapon, both sets of blades can be extended in a single such action), seeming to melt fluidly into the vambraces when not needed.

When the blades are in the extended position, an attuned wielder of the claws can spend 1 mote of Essence to fire one of the blades at an enemy, using the higher of the character's Thrown or Archery abilities. The blades then regrow themselves in the extended position. The fired blades use the same statistics as perfect-quality shuriken with the orichalcum material bonus.

===Artifact •••• (orichalcum perfected kata bracers)===
Attune Cost: 8m<br>
Perfected kata bracers are prayer strips crafted of a single magical material and curled into bracers. The strips’ sutras are starmetal engravings. When the character activates a Form-type Charm, the sutras inscribed on the bracers glow and lift from the artifact to engulf the character in light for a brief moment. For the rest of the scene, she gains several benefits.

She adds her Essence to the accuracy, damage and defense of her unarmed attacks and of attacks made with the active Form-type Charm’s particular weapons. She may choose to inflict bashing or lethal damage at will and she may parry lethal attacks unarmed. In addition, orichalcum bracers let Solars inflict aggravated damage on creatures of darkness.

===Artifact •••• (Skin-Mount Amulet x2)===

===Artifact N/A (DCS ''Defiance in the Night'')===
''Kireeki''-class skyreme, Denandsor Council Ship ''Defiance in the Night'', shared purchase with [[Character:Ziyad_Antarah|Ziyad]]. Has a crew of [[Character:Surely-Refulgent_Anshu/Enlightened_Naval_Ratings|Enlightened Naval Ratings]].

===Backing ••••• (Denandsor Council)===

===Command • (Pathwalker Disciples)===
25 [[Character:Surely-Refulgent_Anshu/Pathwalker_Disciple|Pathwalkers]] serving the Ministry of Justice.
===Command ••• (Navy Personnel)===
250 ratings, marines, and pilots serving in the Denandsor Navy.

===Contacts ••••• (Denandsor Council)===

===Cult ••• (Denandsor farmers and militia)===
Anshu is worshiped by most of Denandsor's farmers, and has a not-insignificant number of worshipers among the city's craftspeople, especially members of the Auxiliaries.

===Influence ••••• (Denandsor Council)===

===Manse ••• (Stone of Judgement)===
The bearer of this smooth cabochon of the finest lapis lazuli gains an uncanny sense for when people lie. If he asks someone whether they committed a crime or other harmful act, the bearer’s player reduces the difficulty of the (Perception + [Investigation or Socialize]) roll to determine the truth of any answer is reduced by -4 (to a minimum of 1). (''Oadenol's Codex'', pp. 97-98)

This manse is called [[Once_more_with_feeling/Custom_Manses#Anshu.27s_Temple|Anshu's Temple]].

===Manse ••• (Gem of Sorcery)===
Though transparent, this many-pointed crystal has an oily golden sheen and glows with inner light. Once per day, its bearer can reduce the cost of casting a spell by 10 motes.

This manse is called the [[Once_more_with_feeling/Custom_Manses#Tabernacle_of_the_Sun_.E2.88.82|Tabernacle of the Sun]], and the hearthstone is plugged into [[Character:Surely-Refulgent_Anshu#Artifact_N.2FA_.28DCS_Defiance_in_the_Night.29|DCS ''Defiance in the Night'']].

===Manse •••• (Stone of Airwalking)===
This spherical white stone looks like a tiny, solidified cloud. Whenever the bearer of this stone desires, he can walk upon the air instead of the ground. Although he still moves at his normal movement rate, the character can walk safely across water or quicksand by walking on a layer of air lying above the surface. In addition, the character can walk up or down the air as easily as others walk up or down a staircase. With sufficient climbing, the character can walk along miles above the ground. If the character trips or is knocked down, however, he can still fall to her death unless he can get her feet under her; his player must successfully roll (Dexterity + Athletics) at difficulty 3. Also, the stone only allows the character himself to move in this fashion. Any steed he rides must still travel along the ground.

This manse is called [[Once_more_with_feeling/Custom_Manses#The_Harmonious_Loft_.E2.88.82|The Harmonious Loft]].

===Lunar Bond ••••• (Eternal Vow, True Love)===
Anshu is bonded with [[Character:_Cerise_Rose_Thorn|Cerise]], a No Moon Lunar.

===Sifu ••••===
Five Days Darkness has agreed to become Anshu's teacher.

===Whispers ••••===
Anshu has achieved communion with the Neverborn, and they are not happy with him. However, some of their secrets may yet slip into his mind...
