* '''Moonsilver Heart'''
** To save his impetuous, dying adoptee, the Whale Tyrant used his ancient protean prowess to fashion a second heart from his own flesh.  Replacing his daughter's torn and failing heart, the new transplanted heart was a resounding success; its heartbeat relentlessly pumping blood and essence whilst forever bending the young Lunar to Leviathan's will as inexorably as the moon bends the tide.
+
**
** Resonating with the boundless power of Leviathan, the heart adds 4 dots to Strength and Stamina, 2 to Integrity, 1 to Conviction and -1 to Compassion.  Any dots that exceed the Exalt's age cap are converted to dice that count against their die cap.
 
** Leviathan may at any time experience any of Orca's Wayward Daughter's senses at will.  She must pay a +3 willpower cost to resist his unnatural mental influence up to a revised maximum of 8.

===Character Creation Questions===
 
===Character Creation Questions===
'''Where are you from?  What was your family life like?'''
+
'''What sort of person is your character?'''
 
+
* Egotistical, petty and ruthless
* In the Terrestrial Direction of The West, lies a small island of little importance.  A minor holding of the Coral Protactorate tributary, Shensu, this irrelevant spit of sand had become infested with fae from the Nacre Whirlpool, just before the time a certain woman destined to Exalt as a Chosen of Luna was to come of age.
 
 
 
* Life before the fae had been simple, rustic but full of contentment for this unwitting Lunar-to-be and her family.  However, as the years went by, fae slowly took over the island's interior and the sweet contentedness of life gave way to furtive glances over one's shoulder.  Superstitions evolved to dictate when one could leave the humble family domicile and how long one could ever so briefly tarry outside the village to gather resources, lest one draw the attention of the Everhungry  prowling the wilds.  Half the island's unfortunate villagers had become dream-eatten slaves by the time the Coral Archepeligo noticed and set its navy to sweep the island clean.
 
 
 
* Per custom every male native of the island was put to the sword; per expedience, the female natives were taken captive into slavery.
 
<br>
 
'''How were you Exalted?'''
 
 
 
* After surviving years of fae predation, the purge of the island by Coral and being enslaved, this poor waif had one more trial ahead of her.  The slave ships were set upon by several wyld behemoths sent by the Nacre Whirlpool dream-monsters in retaliation for Coral's purge.  Managing to get free and top side in the chaos, she stood there for a moment surrounded by the panic, the chaos, the pounding of waves and splintering of ships with no land or refuge to escape to.  There was no hope, only miles of ocean from horizon to horizon.  Tired of running all her life and of being afraid she gritted her teeth and refused to run anymore.
 
 
 
* In that moment, she Exalted a Chosen of Luna; in the next moment she was leaping off the deck at the nearest behemoth, her form shifting mid-air. Crashing into the be-horned mutant whale while she wore the form of a giant squid, the two sank beneath the waves in a deadly embrace.  In the end, they settled on the ocean floor next to one another, the behemoth crushed by massive squid tentacles, while the squid slowly lost consciousness, bleeding to death from being impaled in the heart by the whale's massive, gleaming horn.
 
 
 
* Later she awoke in the care of Leviathan, the Great Whale God who took her on as one of his disciples.  Henceforth she become known as Orca's Wayward Daughter, as her time with her mentor and adopted father figure was rocky and eventually led to her stealing a 1st Age airship and setting out on her own,
 
<br>
 
* but that's a story for another day.
 
<br>
 
'''When did you meet your companions?'''
 
 
 
* Desperate to save his wife from committing suicide in the Skullstone Archipelago, one otherwise upstanding citizen, Keahilani sacrificed his reputation to throw in with the unsavory pirates and criminal scum crewing the Brazen Gypsy captained by the notoriously bloodthirsty Sea Demon, Orca's Wayward Daughter.  After that escapade, unable to return to home as a wanted man, Keahilani stayed on with the pirate crew, ultimately learning that their bloodthirsty reputation was actually merely an intimidating rumor used to strike fear into the hearts of the Corrupt and the Oppressive.
 
 
 
* Maybe we pick up Maria's character in the South en route to where the campaign happens, maybe not; whatever she wants.
 
 
 
* At this point, while I'm up for collaboration with the other two, given the way things seem shaping up, I'm assuming we meet them in game if I don't hear otherwise.
 
<br>
 
'''How has power changed you?'''
 
* It's changed me into the most awesome [[Image:Explit.jpg]]ing lunar air pirate EVAR
 
<br>
 
'''What do you think of mortals?'''
 
* I judge people individually
 
<br>
 
'''What motivates you to be a crazy pirate?'''
 
* Most people will never accept me as a hero, so I play the part of a scary buccaneer while trying to make things better for the disadvantaged when no one is looking
 
<br>
 
'''Who or what do you worship?'''
 
* Thrills
 
<br>
 
'''What would drive you to commit murder?'''
 
* People that [[Image:Explit.jpg]] with my ship and my crew
