Solar Exalted

Amilar Koshiko (PC)

A bookish scion of one of Lookshy’s more studious Gens. Although like most children of the Gens she took her studies in the salons, and then took her tour in the Second Field Force, her talents lay in knowledge. Her wide readings allowed a number of her peers to draw upon many classical scenarios of war to confound foes. It was in the lost magic and technologies that her passions lay. Although her parents could not find sponsorship to enrol her for more than two years at Valkhawsen, a visiting dignitary offered her a position at the Houses of Learning in Great Forks. Oakheart respected her work, and offered his young peer a place on the Inieva expedition. Her family still plays a significant role in her life.

An Admiral of the Lookshy Sky Navy - Amilar Acraban - is a great-uncle of Koshiko, and the relationship is distant, if amicable. He hears of her exploits with amusement now.

Amilar Koshiko exalted as a Solar of the Eclipse Caste at the Battle of the Sunset Bridge.

"Kokage" Ryo (PC)

A wiry Nexus street rat and former “resource procurer” for the seedier portions of the Guild artifact trade, he was practically bought and sold by his bosses with drugs from a comparatively young age. He was eventually hired to steal an artifact being sold by Einar Oakheart to a peer in the Marukani redoubt, but was caught by an off-duty Laeo Stark. Subject to Lookshyan law, Ryo was sentenced to indentured servitude for five years, but strangely enough, it was Einar who bought his contract. Subjected to a strict regimen of purgation and callisthenics, Ryo has only recently gone cold turkey. He works for Einar as a courier, scout, and sometime canary.

He was indirectly worked for one of the Guild’s masters in artifact “acquirement” Hierarch Arys Shen, through Obsidian Monkey Band. Prior to that, he grew up with a small child gang, the Sweeps who helped with chimney sweeping (naturally), pest control, and messages. Other benefits for these gangs included protection in numbers for their members, and a pool of labour that can be tapped by adult gangs, and more unscrupulous merchants.

Ryo was exalted as a Solar of the Night Caste during the Battle of the Sunset Bridge.

Laeo Stark (PC, Played by Stark)

Laeo is a Gunzosha commando of helot ancestry. His parents are both tanners. Laeo was originally contracted to protect a sensitive expedition to the Aluvian Heartlands. As part of using the minimum possible resources, Laeo only took a “discreet staff” of four trainee ashigaru, and one thaumaturge-artificer. Laeo has a single son named Iairos. His wife, Kynthia is a noted gardener and herbalist who now resides in the Green Hunt. In his youth, Laeo was part of a raid to oust a chimerical Lunar from the Aluvian Heartlands. The results of the raid led him to become a gunzosha, wanting to be able to fight the Anathema on more or less even terms. As the journey starts, Laeo is nearing the end of his lifespan, aged by his armour. He would be in his late thirties, but looks nearly seventy.

Laeo Stark was exalted as a Solar of the Dawn Caste during the Battle of the Sunset Bridge.

Maximilian Madorosu ("Max") (PC)

Realm expatriate, a son of House Peleps. His father Peleps Madorosu left Sdoia with his family after being framed for embezzlement twenty years before. He defected to Lookshy, and is now the captain of a First Age ship in Lookshy’s blue-water navy. Max’s brother Ryujin shares the same distinction. His sister remains married to a significant magistrate within the Realm. Max is a highly skilled alchemist and physician, and has a significant dislike for the Realm and the politics of the Scarlet Dynasty. He is in his late thirties, and is mentored by the somewhat (in)famous Einar Oakheart, who sees something of himself in the ineffectual angry young man of yesteryear. Einar would like to see Max pick up more of his adventuring streak and a little more bravery, which is why he has brought him on the field expedition to Inieva.

Madorosu Maximilian exalted as a Solar of the Twilight Caste during the Battle of the Sunset Bridge.

Morio Miyamoto (PC)

This man cuts a lonely figure. A scion of the much diminished House Morio of Cincoria, his antecedents claimed to be directly descended from a Lookshyan exile. In his youth, Miyamoto had an addiction to gambling that he has since overcome. As he is trying to live up to his ancestors - the unspoken masters of a heavily forested nation in the Aluvian Heartlands – he has made himself known as quite the huntsman and tracker. He was hired for a not-insignificant sum by Einar Oakheart as a guide through the mountains to the south.

Morio Miyamoto exalted as a Solar of the Zenith Caste during the Battle at the Sunset Bridge.
