Starchasing Kyou

Starchasing Kyou

Caste: Full Moon
Motivation: Build a great airship fleet to protect Creation.
Anima Banner: A great white Osprey with blue-glinted feathers.
Tell: Silver hair that is filled with downy feathers, and can part and flap to function as wings.
Description: A shapely young woman with slightly dark skin, blue eyes and silver white hair, wearing a pale blue kimono and a dark blue scarf. Her back-length hair is oddly expressive
Personality: Boisterous, eager and headstrong, there is very little that keeps Kyou from her lofty goals. She is somewhat perturbed by her own disturbing dreams and a lack of a past, but forges on through sheer grit and her own will. Despite having a big mouth, is actually quite perceptive and intelligent.
Background: The Silver Pact found a recently Exalted Kyou buried in the corpses of several Lintha slavers, while barely hanging on to life. She subsequently joined the Silver Pact and after becoming a figure of relative skill and respect, went out on her own into the world. She appears to have some connection to Autocthonia, as she was discovered with a pair of rare and ornate moonsilver beam whips that could not have been produced in Creation.

= Equipment

Twin Rivers of Sorrow - Dual Beamfilament Scourges (6m)

Clinch Speed 6, Accuracy +4, Damage +7L/3, Defense +2, Rate 1, Attunement 3, Tags D, O, P, R

Strike Speed 6, Accuracy +3, Damage +7L/3, Defense +1, Rate 1, Attunement 3, Tags D, O, P, R

Pay 5m to generate blade. All parry successes against are halved, destroy mundane weapons parried or parried with and subtract damage, raw damage is subtracted from soak values of mundane armor. Armor with soak 0 is destroyed. Likewise, mundane objects of the same rough size as the user can be destroyed the same way.

Kyou's main weapons, the Twin Rivers of Sorrow (as Kyou has named them) are a matched pair of distinctly Autocthonian Monofilament Scourges with the curious property of also being Beamklaves. They are named mostly because of the misfortune that pours out from their handles... usually caused by Kyou removing someone's limbs or cutting a prized heirloom sword in half.

Authoritative Stamp (1m)

Tattooed onto Kyou's tongue. Reproduce any observed seal or stamp perfectly by paying 1m.

The Lunar Elder that tattooed Kyou had weird tastes and a penchant for fancy utility artifacts.

Feathered Quicksilver Plate - Articulated Plate (6m)

Soak +12L/14B; Hardness: 8L/8B; Mobility: 0; Fatigue: 1

Crystal Visor: Provides the benefits of Essence Sight.

Adaptive Camouflage: Adds +3d to Stealth and allows the armor to change appearances.

A gift from Kirigasa Varil that Kyou requested after she accepted a position in the Shogunate Sky Guard, the Feathered Quicksilver Plate is a suit of armor with an elaborate feather pattern interspersed with glowing lines and nodules, equivalent to Articulated Plate. It possesses a crystal visor that grants Essence Sight and is able to reshape itself to suit the whims of its wearer. The blue cape is unsurprisingly also reinforced with Moonsilver and effectively indestructible (unless the wearer prefers it be seen in tatters).
