'''Surely-Refulgent Anshu'''<br>
[[Image:Anshu.png|frame|<div style="text-align: center;"> Anshu with one razor claw extended </div>]]
Caste: Zenith<br>
Concept: Immaculate monk turned Anathema

''Anshu is an attractive but unremarkable-looking man in his late 20s. He continues to dress as a First Coil Immaculate Monk, in a worn but well-cared-for hemp robe minimally adorned with black trim and belted with a simple length of rope, along with a simple pair of sandals and a rice hat. He has gray eyes, is clean shaven and possesses the requisite shaved head of the Order. His claws he hides in the sleeves of his robe, wrapping them with cloth to help conceal their shape; his armor he rolls into a relatively inconspicuous bundle, which he carries with him wherever he goes. His only other possession is a simple wooden begging bowl.''

==Anima==
Burn a corpse for 1m (free at 11+ anima flare). For 10m, glow with the power of the UCS, illuminating the area as if it was noon out to 50 yards. For the remainder of the scene, gain 10B/10L/10A soak vs. attacks from creatures of darkness and add 5 to the minimum damage dice rolled for attacks made on creatures of darkness (automatically activates at 11+ anima flare).

When Anshu's anima becomes iconic, it coalesces into a brilliant gold set of merchant's scales, superimposed on an orichalcum straight-sided daiklave.

==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 ••••• ([[Once_more_with_feeling/Custom_Artifacts#Sword_and_Scales_of_Justice|Sword and Scales of Justice]])===
Anshu's equivalent of Nuwa's Potential-Unlocking Orichalcum Tattoos, these lines of gleaming orichalcum adorn Anshu's chest and back, taking the shape of his iconic image - a straight-edged daiklave superimposed on a set of golden scales.
*'''Universal Respiration:''' The Tattoos provide the benefits of three Skin-Mount Amulets, one at the daiklave's hilt and the others in the scales' weighing pans. Hearthstones can be inserted from either Anshu's front or back, and appear in both places once inserted. 
*'''Immutable Self:''' Anshu's Integrity Protecting Prana is made a permanent effect.
*'''Righteous Condemnation of Evil:''' By spending 10m as a diceless miscellaneous action, Anshu may designate one being with permanent Essence lower than or equal to his own as a Creature of Darkness for a scene, and only for the purpose of his own Charms and attacks. This power has no additional affect on beings that are already Creatures of Darkness.
*'''The Path to Transcendence:''' Anshu may transcend the age limitation on raising Permanent Essence, up to one dot beyond what he could usually reach. He must still train and buy his Essence up with XP normally.

===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...

===Limit Break: Terrible Zeal (Conviction)===
Anshu flies into a zealous rage at being stymied in his goals, attempting to kill or destroy whoever or whatever is immediately obstructing his progress, without regard for collateral damage - for example, burning an entire First Age library because it sheds no light on the cause of the Solars' madness, or killing a valuable contact for failing to provide needed information.<br>
'''Partial Control:''' Anshu satisfies himself with merely wounding the offending person or destroying one of the offending objects without causing any collateral damage - for example, destroying only ''one'' of the books in the First Age library, or cutting off one of the contact's hands or limbs.<br>
'''Duration:''' One scene<br>
'''Limit Break Condition:''' Being prevented in achieving or making significant progress towards a goal (either long-term or immediate) just when all seemed to be going well.

==Personality==
Anshu tends to be very serious in his day-to-day life - he isn't humorless, he just has a hard time figuring out when he can go "off-duty". He's very dedicated to his goals, but can be persuaded to set them aside temporarily. He's very protective of those whom he has sworn himself to protect.
