In summary: Andante is a good little Conviction-heavy Air-blooded Dynast who was indoctrinated by his Sidereal mentor at the Heptagram and his Nightmares Flaw into pathological terror of Anathema. He's also best friends with V'neef's grandson (one of the other PCs, with Legendary Breeding), and happily political when not plotting ways to annihilate anything resembling Anathema before it can break the Realm. Somewhere along the way, he had a blackout in which his hand vanished. Now he has a blue jade hand of scary Death of Obsidian Butterflies doom. Yay!

Hm. How effective is the "generic" DB martial art? Because if I could get him an Immaculate style I'd do it in a heartbeat -- it's utterly Andry -- but I'm not so sure about the generic version.

Andry was originally created for a Dragon-Blooded game run by IsawaBrian; he's the first Exalted character I ever actually playedSariel/LedaalAndante/I>. He . . . also requires some fine-tuning if I ever attempt to play him again; this was before I learned how to twink properly in Exalted, so my dice pools were wimpy compared to everyone else's, except in Sorcery which I didn't use very much before the game ended. Still, for posterity's sake . . .

In summary: Andante is a good little Conviction-heavy Air-blooded Dynast who was indoctrinated by his Sidereal mentor at the Heptagram and his Nightmares Flaw into pathological terror of Anathema. He's also best friends with V'neef's grandson (one of the other PCs, with Legendary Breeding), and happily political when not plotting ways to annihilate anything resembling Anathema before it can break the Realm. Somewhere along the way, he had a blackout in which his hand vanished. Now he has a blue jade hand of scary Death of Obsidian Butterflies doom. Yay!
