MJInfernals
Running this Saturday with enough players. Bring civilization (Malfeas), order (SWLiHN), faith (Cecylene), freedom (Adorjan), or equality (Ebon Dragon) to the world! Put up a character name and blurb if you're interested. Evil level will be directly proportional to the evil of the characters. Will probably be rules-light because Exalted rules are either counterintuitive or suck but full chargen sheets required.
(BTW list what your charms do on your sheets)
EDIT: Game may continue whenever there's an off-day for an opening.
Starting Location
The city of Malfeas, in Jaundice's delightful villa. Leaving for the West, to spread matriarchy, Yozi-Worship, freedom, and mass destruction to the islands. And maybe kick that deathlord there in the face too.
Houserules
Starting XP: 20 XP for Charms, Essence, Spells, Etc + another 30 XP for things that heroic mortals have.
All non-esoteric Crafts are one skill.
Put down what type of Urge you have, and get another player to fill it in for you. This should get entertaining.
Characters
Forsaken Pharos (Malefactor) Rex290. A tall woman with pale skin, greenish eyes, with slightly tapered ears and saffron hair Pharos little resembles the former Dragon Blooded Dynast she once was. Because she did not Exalt with the rest of her siblings she was assigned to oversee some family holdings on the fringes of the Realm. After some years after adopting Vlad Tepes-like policies in order to "impose order", which was successful and did turn the until-then failure of a region into a productive if underpopulated region, she was violently deposed and chased into the Hundred Kingdoms where a Demon found her one night. . .
- Urge done by Screwball
Ashen Hand of the Sky. Former slave who lead a revolt. When her army was finally brought to heel, rather than stand, fight and inevitably die, she chose to escape into the night, leaving her comrades to face their fates without her. Had a certain demon not found her, she almost certainly would have eventually been found and killed, whether by her former masters or those of her comrades who survived and managed to escape chains once more.
- Urge done by Rask
Jaundice. Schemer who spun an elaborate web of influence over her home city to influence the next election, magnificent in its complexity and subtlety, which of course meant that come crunch time several of the dozens of individual points of failure failed and she barely escaped with her life. Her flight was only interrupted when a demon approached her with a proposal.
- Urge done by FBH
Jubilant Night was a shaman of the Linowan people until a Haltan raiding party attacked her village. The defenders fought valiantly, but they were only mortals attempting to stave off the Haltan's Raksha mercenaries. It would have been Jubilant's opportunity to turn the tide by using her mastery of the occult to stave of the predatory Fair Folk and save her village. Instead, she cowardly used them to shield herself from detection, huddled up in a corner of her hut while all around her, the villagers lost their souls to the inhuman monsters. The demon found her sobbing over the corpse of her best friend and offered her the power to make those responsible pay.
- Urge done by Peel
Forbidden Flower Once a hunter of demons and ghosts, Forbidden Flower earned an unsavory reputation due to her tendency to turn up around murders and the like, and her constant valuing of her own life ahead of the lives of innocents. During her last hunt the village who she was assisting sold her out to the very yozi cultists who she was hunting for the price of their own lives. This would have been the time when Flower could have saved them despite themselves. Instead she attempted to escape, failed, and was taken... not to her death but to a new life far more glorious than any she could have imagined.

Quotes
- [13:30] * Jubilant_Night thinks her coadjucator had a stroke from all the flashing lights a while back.
- [13:39] * Jubilant_Night scratches her head. "So the only way to make this all work is to capture them, have them swear allegiance, turn them into Akuma, and then kill them." (On five conflicting orders from their Yozi patrons on what to do with a Solar Circle)
- [14:15] <Forsaken_Pharos> "Well, what about ropes and collars. We can tie them to some central point to make sure nobody goes overboard."
- [14:15] <Forbidden_Flower> "Gosh Kara, collars are your answer to everything." Flower uses Pharos's dragon blooded name with a wink
- [14:16] <Jaundice> "Oh Pharos, you're such a darling."
- [14:21] <Ashen> "You know I don't collect things unless I absolutely have to."
- [14:21] <MJ12> Like HANDS eh? You absolutely have to collect those?!
- [14:21] <Ashen> (Yes!)
- [14:22] <Ashen> (Besides, those become part of my clothes until they rot and fall apart)
- [14:22] <MJ12> oh yes, Jaundice thinks that she needs to keep a close eye on Ashen's fashion sense there. :(
- [14:47] <MJ12> Zoom, through a demon gate and into a glorious world of heroism and magic, before it was bent and diminished and turned into the World of Darkness...
- [15:30] * Forsaken_Pharos goes to Night and very carefully and quietly ties Night up in a embrassing bondage pose in revenge for not sharing her booze.
- [15:30] <Jaundice> "Oh Pharos, you're such a dear."
- [15:31] <Forbidden_Flower> "Let me do it :)" (10)
- [15:31] * Forsaken_Pharos lets Flower do it, standing over her shoulder :<
- [15:31] <MJ12> (wow that's an amazing roll)
- [15:32] <MJ12> The Peronelle wakes Night up from this surprise attack just as Flower finishes binding her feet.
- [15:32] * Jubilant_Night blinks.
- [15:32] <Jubilant_Night> "Oh, very funny, guys."
- [15:32] <MJ12> (1 success on 10 dice wow) (for Flower)
- [15:33] * Jubilant_Night frowns, and the ropes part as if a knife had split them in half.
- [15:33] <Forbidden_Flower> "Sorry :|"
- [15:33] <Jubilant_Night> "That could have been you >:("
- [16:01] <MJ12> And then with another crack of lightning that hits the boat, sending splinters of wood flying in every direction, most of them bouncing off of you, the Storm mother appears, an angry hag who looks absolutely repulsive, with sharklike features. "You dare. Well, I suppose I always have use for slaves... or maybe those pretty skins of yours." D:<
- [16:02] <MJ12> She hates everyone prettier than herself and since she's appearance 0 you can see how finding prettier women is easy
- [16:02] <Ashen> "There's only one person here who gets to use skins, lady."
- [16:02] <Ashen> "And I use the term charitably."
- [17:10] <Ashen> tracking down people who look like the might possibly be affiliated with a Deathlord, brutally murdering them, then skinning them and leavig their remains somewhere they'll be found. :D
- [17:10] * Ashen is here to kill things, not to sneak around and plot
- [17:10] <MJ12> Ashen lacks Investigation so she just goes and cuts anyone who looks particularly pale in half. That poor ghost-blooded who was running an orphanage never knew what hit him. :(
- [17:11] <MJ12> And neither did the albino puppy
- [17:11] <Forsaken_Pharos> Poor puppy
- [17:11] <Ashen> new gloves
