intro time!

[tragedy_virus]

Hello! I'm Lexi. :) I'm 20 and currently getting my BA in Psychology. :3

Having grown up in a house of gamers, it was no big surprise that I ended up being one myself! My earliest memories are of watching my Mom play classics like Chrono Trigger, the Lufia series, Shadowrun, Lunar, and Popful Mail.

My biggest love is currently for Exalted (table top RPG by White Wolf), though I also enjoy games such as Mana Khemia, Chrono Trigger (both the original and DS versions), Ar Tonelico, Disgaea, anything Shin Megami Tensei related, Pokemon (so many versions, omg), Katamari, Muramasa, Okami, and many more that I can't think of at the moment.

I'm currently part of an Exalted campaign, which has me flailing every week (and every day leading up to our gaming day). It's a Reclamation game, with the PCs being a Dawn caste, a water DB, and a Midnight caste (my character). It's... an interesting dynamic to say the least. XD

Well, that's me, I guess! Nice to meet'cha~ :D

\o/ Exalted! My favorite!

8DDDDDD *face is stuck in a perma-grin*

What kind of characters do you usually play? *discussion tiem!*
It varies for me, but... my current icon is of Maiden, the Midnight I'm currently playing. She's amazing. :D *flail*

Solar, all the way. I like to be shiny and save the world. I made this icon for Fortunate Cricket, a soft-spoken Eclipse caste bureaucrat/negotiator/kung-fu calligrapher whom I played for ages and who was probably my favorite character I've ever had. He was adorable.

I'm also a big fan of Sidereals and all their weirdness, but I've played a LOT of Exalted and have run characters in from nearly every Exalted type (except Abyssals, since I don't really like that style of character, and Infernals, which I haven't gotten the chance to RP yet). I also seem to like playing Lunars with weird spirit animals -- my favorite was the philosophical Taoist exorcist sloth.

I'm usually Solar as well (I've got ~4 or 5 of them), though for the campaign I'm in, it was requested we take different Exalt types.... and Solar was already taken. D: So I'm trying my hand at Abyssals! It's interesting/hard because Maiden can't like anyone who's alive, essentially, or she gets Resonance'd.... making it hard to have a real team dynamic. XD We're hoping over the course of the campaign that she gets redeemed - she might even get her Exaltation modified so she becomes a Solar! (But who knows? :))

Ooooh! Sounds like you've had some interesting characters! Your Eclipse caste sounds adorable and I love the icon :D My Eclipse caste was also ridiculously cute, though also rather naive and remarkably less bad-ass. He's also probably one of the few "nice" characters I have - other than my Compassion-based, noble, Robin Hood Night caste... the others generally don't care about people. D: (Which is weird, cause if I were an Exalted character, I'd definitely have high compassion!)

I've only ever played one Sid and a few Lunars, though they were pretty crazy. One was essentially my cat (with megalomania) and the other was a magpie who was obsessed with shinies and liked marrying rich guys so she could take their stuff. *blink* My Sid just wanted to read everything and hated leaving Heaven.

I've never tried Infernals either, but they look really cool. Humorously enough, Maiden's Exaltation story very nearly qualifies her for Infernal Exaltation. If she hadn't almost died, I'm sure a Yozi would've stopped by. XD

How long've you been playing Exalted?

[jack_of_none]

Uh, a while. Since 1e. I've played 1e mixed-Exalts "wandering heroes of Creation" game, a brief 1e Alchemical enforcers game, a huge mess of 2e games of varying types, and a terribly cheesy but fun 1e Exalted/oWoD modern mashup game.

I'm not sure I'd classify my Eclipse as 'badass', really...he knew how to defend himself and his son all right (he had a mortal son from before his Exaltation whom he was very protective of), and of course he was very competent at social-y stuff, but he always came off as kind of hapless and overwhelmed -- which, to be honest, might have added to his ability as a negotiator...he was very unassuming and easy to talk to, for a reincarnated god-king. His relationship with his teenaged son was also pretty interesting -- the juxtaposition between Cricket's superhuman talents and his oddly normal inability to deal with his son was some of the best RP I've ever had, I think.

Heh, I've also played the Robin Hood Night caste...my very first Exalted character. My Sidereal was also sort of...reverse gentleman thief. His job was to go down to Creation and put stuff in its correct, fated place...so he would break into your house in the dead of night and LEAVE something instead of robbing you. He was very dashing, and in his spare time he liked to construct strange, melodramatic romances under various resplendent destines.

We've fought Infernals before (my Eclipse was SEVERELY traumatized by having to face an Infernal in battle who was a twelve year old boy...admittedly, he was a twelve year old boy who killed people for shits and giggles and could rip through an army of mortals like a whirlwind made of razor blades, but still. It bothered him. My Lunar character in the ridiculous Exalted Modern game also has an Infernal mate (a mad scientist type under She Who Lives In Her Name), and the Lunar has been trying like heck to figure out if there's a way to "fix" her Exaltation.

Your Abyssal sounds awesome! We had a renegade Abyssal in one of our groups for a while...yeah, Resonance made the relationship between the characters really strained, but it had some amazing RP opportunities as well. I like hearing about people's Abyssal characters...it seems like a hard character type to pull off.

... Though I have run into Infernals in-game. The campaign is a Reclamation game, so we're bound to run into them. They're so cool/messed up! And Maiden is seriously jealous of all the cool charms they have. Almost every game she goes "HEY WHY CAN'T I DO THAT? D: *pout*" and wishes she were a Moonshadow. XD
