Shadowmoon

Style Notes: The ST prefers anything that would be represented with dots to be a numeral spelling out how many are in a given category. Instead of putting three asterisks or whatever next to your Strength, you would put the numeral “3” beside Strength.

Note that text inside the == Headings Markup == will appear in the contents box as a link to that section. Text that should not appear inside the headings markup should appear on the line below the headings markup. (The number of nested headings markup characters, the equals sign, indicates the sub-heading and sub-sub-heading status, ad nauseum.)

This sheet has been prepared with the Solar Exalts in mind, as Solars are the default Exalt type for game-play. It is advisable to make the Name tag into a link to your character's category as well.

Shadowmoon

== Basic Information ==

History

Shadowmoon was born in the Eastern Threshold under the twilight of the sun and the moon's shadow, thus she was given the name Shadowmoon at birth. She never knew her father and her mother was a Mortal Witch named Auriel, a member of a coven of Seven Witches that served as servants to a powerful spirit known as Resplendent Wind who ruled over a land known as Wildflower Plains, a clearing within the great forests to the west. The highest ranked Witch of the circle was Windia, the God blooded child of Resplendent Wind himself and by far the most powerful of the Seven, but the lesser witches would not get the honour of mating with the their God, hence they were to breed with mortal men. Each of the witches were required to have at least one child in their lifetime so that if one Witch were to die, there would always be another to take their place in the circle and the circle and thus there would always be Seven to serve their God. Thus keeping to her obligation, her mother sought out a mortal man of a nearby village and had his way with him and then departed back to her Coven, pregnant with Shadowmoon. A year later she was born.

Shadowmoon's childhood was one where she was trained in Occult secrets to one day succeed her mother and take her place in the circle. She proved herself to be a respectful pupil to the circle and as she grew, the Resplendent Wind and the Coven saw her as a worthy successor to the age-old legacy. Unfortunately, dark times were on the horizon for their once peaceful community. When Shadowmoon was but a woman in her eighteenth year, the peaceful and sure life of her existence came crashing down. A Shadowland had spawned not far from the plains and forces of the Underworld marched a path across the lands to expand their domain. Resplendent Wind and the Coven put up a good fight at first, defeating an army of undead that attempted to claim the land, but it was a costly victory as four of the witches fell in the defence, although Windia did survive the first wave. The daughters were quickly brought in to replace those who fell, including Shadowmoon's own mother. Such was the annoyance of the resistance that a death knight who called himself “The Despoiler” led the next wave. Wielding powerful charms, he slew Resplendent Wind, destroying their God so utterly that his name is but a fated memory in creation. Outraged the witches made a last stand and Shadowmoon was the last to stand. The Despoiler himself came in for the kill but Shadowmoon channelled all the essence she could from her sorcery to make a final stand. Just then she Exalted and unleashed a fiery explosion that nearly killed the Despoiler. In the distraction, the Despoiler's broken body was taken away by his retainers and with their leader fallen the dead did not pursue her as she left the broken lands of her birth.

Shadowmoon had lost everything in a fell stroke, but knew she had been chosen for something greater. She traveled west, seeing a number of settlements that she had not seen before and seeking knowledge when she could and learning about the world beyond her lost paradise. She soon met with a society of Forest Witches who accepted her as a child of the Sun, hid her from the Wyld Hunt and taught her the secrets of Terrestrial Sorcery. She would learn a number of other charms on her own and become a valued member of their society. After several years with them however and the discovery of a number of solar artefacts she would claim for herself, she left the community and traveled the roads seeking out others of the Exalted. For she knew that Creation was in danger and with the threats of the Wyld and the Shadowlands, someone would need to make a stand. Perhaps further west she will discover her fate.

Appearance and Personality

Shadowmoon stands at a height of 5"10 with light blue hair and blue eyes. She dresses in thick robes of purples and blacks and wears a few pieces of golden jewelry. She has a reserved look about her, often showing a calm demenor and does little to show her passions on the surface. But when she has a cause, she puts herself into it with the greatest of Conviction. She usually hides her features under a hood and keeps any Orialcum items well disguised as she knows that the Wyld Hunt keeps an eye out for such artefacts.

If Archery is favored or in-caste, you would place three apostrophes around it like thus: ''' Archery 4 ''' and it will appear as Archery 4 ) The fast way to add this markup to your Caste abilities is to add the three apostrophes around the beginning of the first ability in your Caste list, and around the ending of the last one. Line break markup must be preserved.
