Exalted: Dreams of Exaltation - NPCS

[Krul]

Name: Aggressive Steel Heart

Caste: Soulsteel

Description: Wearing Synthetic Reinforced Leather Armor, Layered over her own armored body, and carrying an Onslaught Crossbow, Ash [she goes by this when a shorter name is necessary] is moderately attractive, but the grace and power of her movements indicate that her body is more or less enhanced to the limits of her capabilities. There is never a wasted movement in her, her every motion is full of grace, and power, and she seems almost tireless.

,,

Disposition: As her name suggests, Aggressive Steel Heart, is not one for half measures, when it comes to battle, or anything really, she’s fierce, forward and direct… in fact sometimes she’s so aggressive that other members of her assembly have to step in to keep her from doing something rash. Fortunately, she’s not entirely foolish and can be persuaded to listen to those wiser then her, she just is completely lacking in restraint, and her assembly members certainly value her incredible courage. Also, though she may be lacking in wisdom somewhat, she is perceptive and quick witted enough to recognize when she’s overmatched, and will make a strategic withdraw. She isn’t the general that Strategic Initiative Director is, but she’s capable enough with regards to tactics that she trusted with a squad of soldiers on the battlefield. Indeed, in terms of battle, she’s sometimes directed by her Starmetal brother into just the right locations, sense he knows she’ll either hold or take whatever position he directs her too.

Unlike her sister Alchemical, Vanguard of Many Honored Footsteps, Aggressive Steel Heart doesn’t practice martial arts, at this time; generally she doesn’t have the patience for it.

Past Lives: In part her incredibly aggressive and heroic mindset is due to the fact that her lives have been one heroic stand after another, a warrior who held a single passageway against an army, until they died, but held just long enough for reinforcements, a member of the populate who sacrificed her life to keep the factory running, a message runner who delivered the message, but their heart burst at the end.

Combat: Her charms further enhance an already tough and fast individual, while she likes to fire her crossbow from a distance at her targets, she quickly closes that distance, preferring close and direct combat to ranged combat, though she makes heavy use of both. Once she gets in close range, she activates her Transcendent Multimodal Artifact Matrix to turn her fingernails into Soulsteel Razor Claws, sharp and deadly, attacking directly. Additionally, sense her claws are soulsteel, they are particularly nasty when she attacks essence users, draining their motes away with each successful strike. She usually integrates a number of charms that enhance her toughness as well, allowing her to keep going even when others might drop. When installed, she often makes use of her rather nasty Array, Smoking Corona Strike, which if successful, tends to leave her foes nothing but a smoking ruin.

[Krul]

Name: Dr. Andean Fane

Archtype: Savant

[Krul]

Name: Resplendent Emerald Dream

Caste: Jade

Disposition: : Deep, sensual, kind, compassionate, Emerald is different from her siblings in a number of ways, it is very hard not to like her, she’s almost like the nurse, girlfriend or doctor everyone wishes that they had. She’s charismatic, graceful and beautiful, she is the kind of individual who sees each individual important, as an important and necessary part of the whole. She isn't embarrassed by much, and knows a great deal about medicine and healing, a part of her wonders at the Maker's sickness and what it would take to fix it. She avoids any charms that might affect her clarity, preferring to keep it at nothing if at all possible.

Purpose: Within the city, Emerald was crafted to increase productive efficiency, build moral and seek the best ways to motivate the populace of Loran, she possesses several social charms, including Perfected Union Patterning, Synaptic Acceleration Node, Thousandfold Courtesian Calculations, & Radiant Iconography Array. On another level, Emerald is also a assigned to fix things, both people and machines, so she possesses the charms of Omnitool Implant in order to fix and repair systems in the city, and Multifunction Hypodermic Apparatus to help the humans within the city.

Past Lives: In her previous lives, she’s been a medic, a military moral officer, an engineer, a martial arts instructor and a factory worker. In all of them she’s made sacrifices to save others, and that compassion seems to color her every action. These have sometimes cost her life in those events, but more often have crippled her in some way or another for the rest of her life.

Combat: Emerald isn't really much interested in combat, but when in battle she is focused on efficiency and protection, rather then assault. As such, she tends toward a more defensive stance and tends to rely upon stamina based Alchemical charms more often then not. Like her sister Alchemical, Vanguard of Many Honored Footsteps, she tends to use Martial Arts in combat, though unlike her she has yet to actually begin the practice of any martial art's styles. She often has trouble with the idea of necessary sacrifices, preferring to put herself in danger over her unit, as such she's better in a support position, such as a medic where she can use some of her healing charms to help those who are wounded.

The follow is a picture, it's in spoilers due to her being nude, so consider this a mature warning.

[Krul]

Name: Daiya of the Rose

Caste: Eclipse

Disposition: Fairly self-effacing and young, not more then 9 or 10 years, this young eclipse surprised her father and his associates when she exalted in the midst of diplomatic discussions with the alchemical exalt Fair-Spoken Rishi. The proposal of alliance was quite heartfelt and deeply moving. Sense then, it's been clear that the young lady has a drive to join Autochithia and Creation into one grand whole, united and glorious. She did speak for a moment of the Unconquered Sun speaking to her, and telling her to bring the light of unity into the darkest places.

In combat, Daiya is amazingly good at dodging, and is very good at survival, but she has yet to demonstrative which combat abilities she most favors.. if any.
