Student has partial mastery of Prismatic Arrangement of Creation Style. His "trick" is Soul Fire Shaper Form to get his Essence to 10 and then use (Type) Exalt Ways to gain the anima banner and effect of another Exalt type plus adding Essence (10!) automatic success (!) to a favored Ability or Attribute. By picking the right Exalt type and favored ability, Student could guarantee himself at least 10 successes in any one ability or attribute.

Name: Student To The Sun And Stars 
Caste: Night 
Concept: Kung-fu Master 
Nature: Paragon 
Anima: Five colored orbs orbiting around a golden sun.

== Student To The Sun And Stars as starting character ==
Student was an Immaculate acolyte in Cherak. He exalted during a bandit raid and while he manages to save his life and his fellow acolytes, now his friends and teachers viewed him as a demon and a beast. His world crashed down around him, but he manages to pull through. Now he wanders around from place to place as an itinerant ghost-hunter while searching for the reason for his exaltation and figuring out just how those letters and treatises on martial arts appear on his knapsack while he wasn't looking.

Notes: Anybody who wants to use Student as a starting character is advised to get the best armor he can gets and a serpent-sting staff. Never ever show your caste mark because while you can fight mortals, ghosts, and low-essence spirits, as long as they don't get a chance to gang up on you, even a single properly decked Dragon-Blooded is more than your match.

== Student at 500 XP ==
Total XP: 411. The rest of the XP should be spent on Night things, like maybe those Stealth and Larceny and Athletics. I suggest as many Athletic charms as you feel comfy. Keeing with the ghost-hunter concept, perhaps raise Occult to 5 too.

Notes:
There are three tactics Student can use. One by using Sequential Essence Disruption to disrupt the opponent's charm use. This is powerful, but really really expensive in terms of motes and WP. Then there's God Defeating Palm, which, if it hits, should do a number. Last, Striking Serpent Speed and just spam attack someone. All the tactics depend on Soul Fire Shaper Form and Exalt Ways. I'd be a lot happier if I can sneak in Joy in Adversity Stance somehow, but oh well, can't have everything, I guess.
