Social

Virtues

• Major: Loyalty

The prime directive programmed into the deepest circuits of his engrams: serve, protect, obey, guide. Above all else ensure the wellbeing of those you adore, no matter the cost to yourself. Sacrifice all things if needed, break your body, but they must remain content and in prime function. Diamond takes this philosophy very seriously, every one of his skills bent towards this one purpose.

• Minor: Discipline

In all things, precision. Calculation. Restraint and forethought. No impulsive moves, no sudden fierce declarations or glorious charges. There is a plan. There is always a plan.

Intimacies

• Major: There is nothing I cannot do to protect and serve my circle and my people. (Principle) [Loyalty]

• Minor: Food, art, and medicine are the philosophies that bring us together. (Principle) [Loyalty]

• Minor: I must teach Swiftly Flowing Silver how to embody our circle's beliefs and purpose. - Parental Affection (Tie) [Discipline]

Exalt

Adamant Alchemical

Exalt Milestone: Adamant Castes gain an Exalt milestone if their spiritual guidance caused a significant character to gain an Intimacy or if it improved the life of others.

• Living Artifact

The Alchemical is a carefully created machine, as much like an artifact as a living being. He may hold an artifact to install one of its Evocations as his own Charm during the Rite of Reconfiguration. If the Evocation has any prerequisites, he must meet those. Once installed, the Alchemical can use the Evocation as if it were an innate Charm, without needing access to the artifact itself. The Alchemical can only have one such Evocation at a time but may switch between existing ones during Reconfiguration.

• Community Spirit

Alchemicals often form bonds with communities that will accept him as their own, and to whose purpose he may lend his strength. Diamond adds a three-dice bonus to actions designed to guide, inspire, or care for his community.

• Resonances: Adamant

Anima Effects

• Muse (Passive): The Adamant Caste serves as muse to any one non-Exalt. That person adds the Exalt’s Essence in dice to any roll to which the Adamant’s inspiration contributes. This immediately raises any Extras to non-trivial characters.

• Be More Precise (Active): When an attack targeting the Adamant Caste misses, he may spend 1 anima on Step 4 to inflict a success penalty to the attacker’s next attack action equal to his Essence. He may do the same on social influence rolls that fail to meet his Resolve.

• Guiding Hand (Iconic): Spend 2 anima. For the rest of the scene, the Adamant Caste’s allies within short range gain dice equal to his Essence on attack or social influence rolls so long as the Exalt is physically present and not incapacitated. These dice do not count towards the cap.

The Great Curse

Incitement

• Diamond acts against his Major Intimacy.
• Diamond acts against his Major Virtue.
• A community he has an Intimacy toward is threatened, ignores his advice or openly disdains his help.

When Diamond succumbs to the curse, he switches to a Crisis Behavior which lasts for the indicated length.

Crisis Behavior (pg.88-89)

• Gathering Procedures (Scene)
• Necessary Instruction (Session)
• Revolutionary Reactions (Session)
• Supplementary Paranoia (Scene)
• Universal Threat Detection (Scene)

Merits

• Hearthstone (Primary)

The central hearthstone of the Manse in which the Alchemicals dwell, the Isochronal Sphere is a perfect opalescent crystal surrounded in a clockwork matrix. By spending two motes, the wearer can transport themselves and a number of individuals equal to 4 + the wielder's Essence back to the Manse that spawned the hearthstone. In addition, the wielder may commit 2 motes when learning about a change of circumstances or situation to arrive at the location in time to make a vital difference, regardless of distance.

• Influence (Secondary)

Radiantly Transcendent Diamond is a person of renown throughout not only the Wavecrest Archipelago but also various tradesmen guilds and merchant alliances including artist communes, medical covens, and cookeries; all largely due to his own inspiring personal skills combined with a long history of myriad and helpful workings. When he speaks, people listen, and when he demonstrates, those around watch with rapt attention.

• Resources (Tertiary)

While certainly not the wealthiest of Exalted by any means, Diamond possesses a measure of funds and goods sourced from the surrounding islands of the Wavecrest Archipelago — especially those taken from pirates and intruders from the Realm.

Equipment

• Light armor
