Basics

• Campaign:Golby's Beautiful Placeholder
• Name: Xian-Li
• Concept: Artificer Archeologist
• Caste/Aspect: Solar Twilight
• Motivation:To reclaim or rebuild every first age city, even the ones lost in the wyld, and Meru.
• Positive intimacies: Books, Ruins, Artifacts, Knowaledge
• Negative intimacies: Wrecked artifacts (doesn't like the waste).
• Anima: When Xian-Li's anima banner becomes visible, at it's most potent it looks as if a massive, armored figure emerges from her back to hover around her shoulders. The details vary over time, but it's consistently an armored torso and head, wielding in one hand a artificer's hammer, and in the other, a short daiklave. While insubstantial, the searing blues and purples of the anima are bright and blinding like all Solar Anima.
• Experience: 1/566

Background

Xian-Li grew up in the Scavenger Lands as the only daughter of traveling merchant. Her mother was a well-known and respected courtesan, before paring off with Xian-Li's father.

Since she grew up between Nexus and Lookshy, she was exposed to a great many things, like wondrous technology of the First Age and the power of commerce. When Xian-Li was old enough, her mother enrolled her in an academy by name of The Tea House of Upright Social Bearing.... However... Xian-Li didn't live up to her name. She was far too plain, ill-mannered, obstinate, and outright intelligent to be the demure kind of woman the academy was hoping to make out of her.

To put it far more bluntly, Xian-Li was an abysmal courtesan.

After leaving that 'school', Xian-Li ran for Great Forks, leaving her parents behind and enrolling in academies of Lore and Artifice and Sorcery. Due in part to her social alienation during her time at the courtesan accademy, Xian-Li closed herself off, keeping to herself and her studies, most of the time focusing on her own pursuits and goals. This had the side effect of making her even worse at human interaction.

Exaltation story goes here

This in turn led her further and further away, til at one point she braved the challenges of Denandsor, but only managed, like many others, to reach the outlying workshops. There she found her short daiklaves. It was then that she also decided. 'This city will be mine.'

Since then, she hasn't had much contact with her parents, but to her knowledge, are still doing well enough. She never knew her father that well, as he was often gone while managing his merchant caravans. Her mother was and still probably a consummate socialite. Xian-Li does harbor a fair degree lingering resentment in her parents for not understanding her, more so her mother than her father. Her parents did and still do love her, but they've never really understood each other either.

Seeing courtesans tend to remind Xian-Li of her mother. On the one hand, Xian-Li idolized her mother as a picture of grace and refinement, secretly envious of her overall poise and manner. But at the same time, was utterly incapable of understanding her mother when it came to social mores. This lack of understanding drove a wedge between them.

Xian-Li, after graduating from Great Forks, summarized her overall lot in life by saying "Learning was all I was good at, but at least I learned because I wanted to." Amending to that statement. "My mother does not care for it."

Appearance

Xian Li... Isn't.

She steadfastly describes herself as 'unpretty'. Though readily admits if she actually spent the time, she could be considered attractive, but she prefers to spend most of her time digging through caves and ruins and pretty much anywhere else she can find. So appearance doesn't matter that much.

She keeps her dark brown hair tightly braided, but it tends to come undone more often than she'd like.

• This charm enhances Wyld-Shaping Technique, allowing the character to make permanent and real things.

Occult

• Occult Terrestrial Circle Sorcery():

• Sacrificed the use of mundane tools and equipment that she didn't make herself.

• Tries to use/wear things that have her personal mark on them, not things she's found or bought. Still pragmatic about it though.
  For example, her buff jacket was damaged in the fight w/ the abyssals, instead of repairing it and wearing it again, she decides to retire it (sends it home?) or donates it or something. And instead makes a new, better jacket to replace her old one. In the case of artifacts, it'd be stupid to ignore the usefulness of found artifacts, but often looks to rebuild them to her own standards.

Terrestrial Circle Sorcery

• Terrestrial Demon of the First Circle:(): 20m+

• Terrestrial Thunder Wolf Howl():10m, anywhere within 100 yards, 20 yards across.

• Terrestrial Emerald Countermagic():10m or 20m, caster or in progress Terrestrial Circle Effect

• This charm supplements a lock-picking action, and removes the need for tools by using Essence. Though using it without tools makes it Obvious. It makes your action an automatic success. If this action is opposed by another Charm or magical effect, add (Essence) in automatic successes to the (Dexterity + Larceny) roll to oppose the rival magic.
• Chargen

Bureaucracy

• Bureaucracy Second Bureaucracy Excellency (Bureaucracy 1, Ess 1, p184): 1m, Reflexive, Combo-OK, Instant.

• Character may spend up to (Attribute+Bureaucracy) in motes, for ever 2 motes spent, add a success to the pertinent roll.

• Bureaucracy Speed the Wheels(Bureaucracy 3, Essence 2, pg): 8m, Simple(Dramatic Action)

• The Solar Speeds the process of a Bureaucracy. Normally, an organization must first take a Begin Project dramatic action - ranging from minutes to months in it's duration, depending on the organization's structure, = before it can start actual work on a project. The Solar Communicates his desire for speed resolution to the organization, and his player rolls ([Intelligence/Charisma]+Bureaucracy), adding the Solar's Essence in automatic successes. The difficult of this roll is 1. If the person responsible for this project deliberately engages in delays, subtract an external penalty equal to [that person's Intelligence + Bureaucracy], divided by 2. The Solar is aware of such delaying tactics, however.
  If the Solar Succeeds, this Charm divides the time needed to begin the project by [Essence +1] with a maximum possible time of one season.

• Bureaucracy Insightful Buyer Technique(Bureaucracy 3, Essence 1): 3m, Simple(Dramatic Action), Combo-OK, Social, Instant.

• This charm provides information on market values. To the extent that the Exalt understands what the target item, shipment, import or export is - and to the extent that he understands the relevant markets -this Charm gives the Solar a perfect knowledge of it's value in those markets. This information is sometimes worth the Charm's cost in itself, but the main effect of this Charm and information is to reduce external penalties applying to the mercantile action by an amount equal to the Solar's [Essence]. Whether the Solar is trying to buy a good sword for herself, outfit her army in exceptional steel, trade off yeddim for silk before plauge kills the beasts or sell of the produce of his nation's labor, he can overcome penalties from scarcity, volatile markets and trade barriers.

• Bureaucracy Frugal Merchant Method(Bureaucracy 1, Essence 1): 1m, Supplemental, Combo-OK, Instant.

• This Charm supplements a normal or dramatic action to estimate something's quality and price. Examples include the normal action to estimate the quality of a gem and the dramatic action to evaluate a shipment of silk and spices. This Charm gives perfect awareness of the target object's quality and condition. This awareness gives one bonus success on any price haggling if her bargaining opponent is honest (and using Charisma) and three bonus successes is dishonest (and using Manipulation).

Linguistics

• Linguistics Sagacious Reading of Intent (Linguistics 1, Ess 1, pg 233): 3m, Reflexive(Step 2), Combo-OK, Social, Instant.

• This charm summarizes the intent behind a given statement, written or heard. It is a one-sentence summary of what the author hopes to gain. If the Exalt invokes this charm to defend against a social attack, and the attacker's purpose is fundamentally hostile to the Exalt or the Exalt's motivation, this charm perfectly negates that attack.
• Chargen

• Linguistics Whirling Brush Method (Linguistics 1, Ess 1, pg 233): 4m, , Supplemental, Combo-OK, Social, Instant.

• The diplomats of the Unconquered Sun write with a swift and elegant hand.

This Charm allows the character to write [Essence x10] normal speed.

Perfected Boots
Artifact ●, Attune: 1m
Repair 1
This artifact has been made since the early days of the First Age, but most modern examples were manufactured in Lookshy. Almost half of the Dragon-Blooded ground troops fielded by this martial state wear a version of this artifact. Once the wearer commits one mote of Essence to this item, these boots become the most comfortable footwear she has ever worn. This artifact keeps the wearer’s feet cool and dry in all conditions, and she will never develop blisters while wearing them. In addition to comfort, these boots also allow the wearer to both run and march considerably faster than normal.
In combat, the wearer adds three yards per tick to all move actions and six yards per tick to dash actions. When walking long distances, the wearer can march at a speed of 10 miles per hour and can cover up to 100 miles in a day, allowing the wearer to overtake carriages and to easily keep up with all but the fastest mounted characters. In addition, the wearer adds two to her Strength when calculating jumping distances. This bonus adds directly to the wearer’s Strength if the jumping distance is multiplied because of Charms, additional artifacts or anima powers. One of the primary advantages these boots provide for Lookshy is that heavy infantry who wear these boots can easily keep up with cavalry troops, allowing Lookshy forces to be exceedingly swift and mobile.

Cache Egg
Artifact ●●●●, Attune: None
Repair 1

Created to store treasured or particularly useful possessions Elsewhere, both to keep them “nearby” at all times and out of the reach of thieves, these jade vessels have the shape and texture of large eggs. Opening or closing a cache egg requires a touch and costs one mote. Up to half the shell may be opened from any point on its surface. The interior is hollow and may be filled with any inanimate cargo up to its maximum volume. If the shell is completely sealed and the vessel contains nothing living, a character may touch it and spend 20 motes (uncommitted) to banish the vessel as a diceless miscellaneous action, causing it to flicker and vanish from the world into the non-space of Elsewhere. While banished, the egg retains an arcane link to the character who banished it, allowing her to recall it at any time into a space large enough to contain it by spending another 20 motes as an action. Recalled vessels return in physical contact with their owners, where they may be opened and their contents reclaimed. Objects stored Elsewhere experience no passage of time from the moment they are banished until they return to Creation. Characters cannot have more than one egg linked to them, and banishing a second vessel while the fi rst remains Elsewhere shatters the earlier connection, most likely exiling the egg and its contents to remain forever apart from the world. Celestial Exalted can sometimes recall cache eggs banished by prior incarnations of their Essence, but doing so is extremely difficult, requiring a successful (Intelligence + Lore) roll at difficulty 10 and Storyteller approval. Some First Age Exalted took advantage of this feature to leave behind “time capsules” for future incarnations containing journals, dreamstones or prized treasures they wanted to bequeath to their future selves.

Mental Shield Arrays

Biomagitech

These tiny magitech devices take the form of small disks or jewels with metal settings, depending on the intended style. They can be installed either on/in the skin as decorative jewelry, or implanted in the scalp or skull for security and stealth. Either proceedure has the same difficulty.

A person may have 1 of these arrays for every dot of permanent essence. For 2m committed per array, subtract 1 success from any Unnatural Mental Influence that may effect the user.

Golby's Rulings

Common, or low-rating Exotic Ingredients Cost as much as the Artifact's Rating in Resources to buy.

when used, Craftsmen Need No Tools overrides the listed interval for a given project. As soon as the required work hours are completed, regardless of how many actual hours are spent, the interval is finished.

Assuming I have the required materials and the motes to invoke the charm, I am allowed to work on the next interval immediately.

CNNT works on the research phase, as long as it's "Standard" research. e.g. No reverse engineering, or taking someone else's schematic

Golby considers all standard research as typical crafting; no exceptions need to be made for the first half of my banked successes.

The 16 motes Words as Workshop Method remain committed for the duration of the charm. The charm ends after the interval. Ergo, they decommit after the roll is completed. Which is X hours spent crafting times [Essence x3] as defined by CNNT.

Xian-Li cannot make PSVs until she's Essence 7, Lore 7
