Okay then, Enchantress, couple more things with your sheet:

You seem to have 10 charms + 1 Ox-Body, which means you don't need to buy the Second Presence Excellency with BP, which means you have 4 extra BP.

Also, I noticed you have Conviction rated at 4, which you can't get without spending BP.

Anyway, guys, I'm working on the post now, hopefully today or tomorrow I'll have it up and most of the players can get started.

Okay fixed the virtue thing, I don't think anything changes since my two highest virtues are 3 + 3 rather than 4 + 2, still being 6.

Also I believe your missing the fact that I have 10 charms + ox body +1 (necromancy) spell. I think you overlooked the last part. If you didn't though and I still have 4 BP let me know because I could sure use another spell or charm.

I can understand how most of creation thinks Solars are the real villains (I doubt the average human can tell the difference between a Solar, an Abyssal, and an Infernal so they are all just lumped together)

Your a regular human in creation and life is pretty tough. Your day to day concern is providing food and shelter for yourself and your family. It isn't always easy but you somehow manage. You offer prayers and occasional offerings to the gods.  You don't really know too much about how mystical things work but you do know that for the tiny bit you do know about, there is a near infinite amount of powerful magic that you cant even fathom. The one thing you do know about that kind of mythic power is that most of the things that do understand it want to kill you!

Those Dragon-Blooded are a bit odd, and quite an object of envy. They may not be the nicest guys, but they pretty much human. Their powers manifest in ways that are pretty similar to elements of the natural world. Even with their odd abilities, they still have families, they still have basic human needs, and they still have fairly normal human lifespans. Plus they are the only ones who can protect you from many of those things you don't know about but still want to kill you (or worse). Especially the anathema.

They once ruled the world, and if it wasn't for the dragon-blooded they would do it again. They look mostly human, though they do have the tendency to look like a human you want to get closer to. They are more powerful than the gods, they don't age, their sorcery (black magic!) rewrites the laws of reality, many of them don't even need to eat, sleep or breathe. How could something like that care about, or even comprehend what it's like for humans like you and those you love?

I think that the two best quotes for this came from the Man himself, GCG.

I was just looking at "Black Heart's Venom" specifically that last option. Talk about a Black Widow type.

Zaer, maybe instead of fucking you so hard you turn autistic, I'm going to fuck you until you're a zombie instead.

Background
The child who would become known as Shines Brightly from atop the altar at midday. (shine for short) was born in a village hidden deep in the jungles south of An Teng. The village had been a temple to the unconquered sun in the first age, and even today was still home to a solar cult that had managed to evade detection due to it's geographic obscurity.
The girl was an orphan and thus inducted into the temple at the age of 16 to be one of the sacred whores tending to the needs of the priesthood. Every day at noon she and the other girls would partake in a ritual orgy with the high priest, painted in gold to represent the unconquered sun.
Shine enjoyed this life, but when she was 18, the veil of secrecy sheltering her village was lifted. A circle of Dynasts on a hunting expedition 'stumbled'  across it and decided to have some fun punishing the locals for there heresy. The Dragon bloods tortured and raped the villagers until they swore devotion to the elemental dragons. The high priest who the girl so idolized, was one of the first to renounce his faith in a cowardly attempt to spare his life.
The girl however refused to stoop so low and deny her god. When everyone else had fallen, she was the last to meet the inquisition, and the only one to stand tall. Instead of bowing down to the elemental dragons, she stood up tall and drew her second breath as Shines Brightly.
The Dragon bloodeds were not ready to face an Anathema, and while Shine was not a warrior, they found themselves paralyzed with fear and doubt while the villagers hope was renewed. In addition, one of the dynast's number, a wood aspect named Cynis Lalewira, (the one on the right) who had already been harboring second thoughts about punishing the villagers to harshly just for ignorance, decided to take up arms against her brethren and defend the newly exalted shine.

In the aftermath of the battle, Shine took the position of high priestess and gave the Dynasts a proper burial before beginning to rebuild the village with the help of Lalewira and her surviving servants. Shine might have been content to remain in her village as it's spiritual leader, but after hearing of the state of the outside world from Lalewira, she decided to travel creation to learn how best to serve her god.
Now Shine is traveling disguised as one of Lalewira's personal pleasure slaves. Hiding in plain sight with her golden body paint and orachalum jewelery covered under a silken veil.

Dracorion

Nice sheet, AK and Zaer. I have no problem with any of it, except that you've got 30 ability dots spent and none bought with BP. Should be 28.

AKunoichi

So two less? Droping Integrity would free that up, but it might be a bad idea, Hrm.

Dracorion

Or you could take a two-dot Flaw, if you're having trouble deciding what to drop.

RSGAlex

Or drop a dot and a one point flaw. That works too.

Is it wrong that I'm enjoying being able to speak to everyone in their native language family? Above and beyond how I'm going to use it to spread an agenda, that is one of the benefits of high Linguistics.

Hrm, that might be cool, what are some good ones? Is being a really obvious Anathema one? Because Shine's pretty bad with that. Although it might be powergamery if she just hides under a veil.

RSGAlex

Perhaps you could see if the ST's generous enough to let you use the 1e version of Barbarian?
