Two things. A) Celerity = swiftness of motion. Absolutely nothing to do with celestial things.

A) Thus the nature of the Celerity talents. B) Because, I'm doing that, but I never finish. Maybe I will, some day, but the system always undergoes these radical changes as I take idea A and B and come up with C and find it's hella neat only to find D (on my own or elsewise) trumps it and then there's the matter of "Do I make the system for on-line play or tabletop too?" Exalted's got a system I can stick to and orbit around, sort of. And a thoroughly established setting.
