== Custom Charms ==

=== Enduring Rancor Mastery ===
Cost: N/A<br>
Mins: Stamina 5, Essence 6<br>
Type: Permanent<br>
Keywords: None<br>
Duration: Permanent<br>
Prerequisite Charms: Durable Battle-Mind

A lifetime of fury teaches that rage is eternal. The Lunar internalizes this lesson, and while his ire will still expire of its own accord, it does so after a much longer time. This Charm extends the duration of Relentless Lunar Fury to one scene, and grants it the Combo-OK tag.

=== Creation-Trumping Supremacy ===
Cost: N/A<br>
Mins: Stamina 5, Essence 5<br>
Type: Permanent<br>
Keywords: None<br>
Duration: Permanent<br>
Prerequisite Charms: External Hide Perfection, two or more (Directional) Mastery Techniques

Stewards may not be the lords of Creation that the Lawgivers are, but they are certainly immune to its hazards. This Charm enhances the Directional Mastery Techniques, permanently reducing their activation cost by 1 mote for each Directional Mastery Charm they know. Attaining Essence 6 reduces the cost by a further 1 mote, so a Lunar knowing all five Directional Mastery Charms and possessing Essence 6 would spend no motes to activate any or all of them.

=== One Man Legion ===
Mins: Dexterity 5, Essence 5<br>
Prerequisites: Devastating Ogre Enhancement

The Emperor Ox Expansion allows a Lunar donning his spirit shape to become a great beast that rivals an army. This Charm permits a Lunar's war form to achieve similar feats. By spending a point of Willpower when taking the war form, the Lunar grows to the size of a warstrider, gaining the ability to use warstrider-scale weapons as though their Strength requirements were halved, and moving at greater speeds. The Lunar is also capable of engaging in mass combat as a unit with Magnitude equal to his Essence. When taking the form of the One Man Legion, the Lunar also increases his Strength, Dexterity and Stamina by 1 dot each, over the existing modifications of his warform.

Marshalling the energies for the One Man Legion is time-consuming - the shapeshifting action is five long ticks instead of five ticks, and even Knacks which render shapeshifting reflexive/instantaneous only reduce the time to one long tick.

=== Quicksilver Tyrant Style ===
A precursor to the Immaculate Water Dragon Style, Quicksilver Tyrant strives to emulate the sinuous and powerful movements of river dragons.

'''Flowing Water Defense => Basic Instinct Defense'''<br>
The moonsilver tyrant rampages wildly through his foes, forsaking proper form for the sheer thrill of motion and violence. His foes are hard-pressed to strike him, even though his reckless flourishes impair his own chances at victory.

'''Rippling Water Strike => Army-Shaking Prowess'''<br>
The quicksilver beast deals in power, and his strikes radiate from their targets like massive explosions, disconcerting and disorienting the fellows of the luckless victim.

'''Drowning In Blood Technique => Merciless Bestial Blow'''<br>
His attacks fall like avalanches and strike like thunderbolts - those wounded by the quicksilver tyrant have the very fabric of their bodies mangled by his brutality.

'''Shrugging Water Dragon Escape => Feral Deliverance'''<br>
Caging the quicksilver beast only strengthens his desire to be free of his bonds.

'''Water Dragon Form => Quicksilver Tyrant Form'''<br>
Taking the aspect of the quicksilver tyrant, the martial artist's body reshapes minutely to match his anima and his mastery. When his transformation completes, his skin takes on the faint gleam of moonlight reflecting off rippling water, and his eyes glow with the light of a Lunar god-beast. His flesh becomes proof against lesser blows, and even the greatest damage may be survived with the application of Essence. In tune with his feral soul, the martial artists rends and destroys like the monster he was meant to be.

== Combos ==
'''Strike First, Strike Last''' - Meerkat Alertness Practice, Striking Cobra Technique, Flowing Body Evasion, Wary Swallow Method, Third Dexterity Excellency, Third Strength Excellency, Shrugging Water Dragon Escape, Relentless Lunar Fury, Air Dragon's Sight, Instinctive Strength Unity, Instinctive Dexterity Unity

''Razen usually opens combat with this technique - he's virtually guaranteed to go first, which helps greatly in taking control of the battle.''

'''Apex Predator Attitude''' - Flowing Body Evasion, Wary Swallow Method, Third Dexterity Excellency, Third Strength Excellency, Wasp Sting Blur, Shrugging Water Dragon Escape

''This is Razen's "battle state" Combo, which allows him to maintain a strong defence while still retaining the ability to augment his attacks.

'''Razen Overload''' - Octopus and Spider Barrage, Flowing Body Evasion, Wary Swallow Method, Third Dexterity Excellency, Third Strength Excellency, Wasp Sting Blur, Shrugging Water Dragon Escape

''His signature move, Razen's body glows from within with an eerie green light, and countless black metallic tentacles (with the sheen of moonsilver about them) erupt from his body, impaling many lesser foes around him, or thoroughly perforating a single luckless enemy.''

'''Giga Drill Breaker''' - Iron Tyrant Impact, Lightning Flash Might Methodology, Third Dexterity Excellency, Third Strength Excellency, Wasp Sting Blur, Flowing Body Evasion, Wary Swallow Method, Shrugging Water Dragon Escape

''Razen's right arm burns with bright green fire, Essence streaming jet-like from his elbow as his fist shines with a silver light, and then he utterly destroys whatever he chooses in a single, awesome blow.''

'''"The Likes Of You Have No Need To Know My Name!"''' - Third Appearance Excellency, Perfect Symmetry, Glance-Oration Technique, Outworld-Forsaking Stance, Flowing Body Evasion, Wary Swallow Method

''This is Razen's opening gambit for situations where he must bring his force of personality to bear. Razen usually invokes this Combo when standing tall and silhouetted against light of some sort, for maximum dramatic effect.

'''Cometary Hammer Fist''' - Rippling Water Strike, Tearing Claw Atemi, Third Dexterity Excellency, Third Strength Excellency, Wasp Sting Blur, Flowing Body Evasion, Wary Swallow Method, Shrugging Water Dragon Escape

Razen strikes the wall or floor, blasting nearby enemies with the outwelling of radiant power.

'''"Who The Hell Do You Think I Am?!"''' - Outworld-Forsaking Stance, Third Appearance Excellency, Flowing Body Evasion, Wary Swallow Method

''Razen disdains the mindbending magic of his Celestial peers, but when he must endure it, he uses his animal magnetism to offset the worst of its effects.'' 

'''"Begone."''' - Foe-Turning Rebuke, Flowing Body Evasion, Wary Swallow Method, Outworld-Forsaking Stance, Third Dexterity Excellency, Third Appearance Excellency, Second Charisma Excellency

'''"Cast Out The Heretic/Mutant/Traitor!!"''' - Scathing Lunar Condemnation, Flowing Body Evasion, Wary Swallow Method, Outworld-Forsaking Stance, Third Dexterity Excellency, Third Appearance Excellency, Second Charisma Excellency

''Razen burns a large amount of Essence to disperse hordes of weak foes with the power of sheer, concentrated awesome.''

Panoply 5<br>
Wealth 6 (2 BP)<br>
Manse 6 (2 BP)<br>

=== Hearthstones ===
Gem of Perfect Mobility (Level 5 Solar)<br>
Home's Hearth (Level 5 Sidereal)<br>
Seven Leaping Dragon Stone (Level 4 Solar)<br>
Gemstone of the Brother's Bond (Level 3 Earth)<br>
The Freedom Stone (Level 3 Water)<br>

=== Artifacts ===
Moonsilver Celestial Battle Armor (all 3 subunits sacrificed for Scout warstrider movement speed and an integrated level 5 warstrider flight unit)<br>

Infinite Resplendence Amulet (all 4 features)<br>
Moonsilver Perfected Kata Bracers<br>
Moonsilver Baneclaw<br>
Perfected Boots<br>
Aegis-Inset Amulets<br>
Skin-Mount Settings x3<br>
Arms of Multiple Manipulation

This is just his personal panoply - Arsenal 5 and Legendary Wealth allow him to afford much, much more than this, but he's trying to live and fight without excessive ostentation. Most of his resources go back into supporting his dominion, various investments managed by Sayoko, funding the Crimson Devil Brigade, and supporting the families of his subordinates killed during Operation Wyldhand.

Also, Razen did not originally possess his high-value Arsenal, Panoply and Wealth; they were managed by Kiyu and passed into his custody on her death. He takes no pleasure in his great assets, but he has to manage them carefully, since they are, in a way, all that he has left of her.
