LunaHidesHerFace

Luna Hides Her Face - A campaign by SabreCat

One bright-eyed, idealistic, justice-minded Solar blonde.
One grumpy, cynical, vengeance-driven Lunar sorcerer.
A corrupt Realm full of wanton, bullying breeder Exalts.

Add a dose of romantic comedy...
...some amnesiac flashbacks to the fall of the First Age...
...a convoluted cast of misguided wretches from base mortals up to Celestial Exalts...
...and Fair Folk to taste...

...and you have hijinks that might just explain why Luna turns her face from Creation half of every month!

Characters

NPC Graveyard, for posting stats of dead or decommissioned GM characters.

Beware: highly entertaining large character sheet images ahead!

Shining Blossom Empress, a cheerful Dawn Caste gladly taking up the mantle of a hero of the Unconquered Sun, out to take the Realm down a peg. Has inherited her predecessor's hots for Lunar spouse Shadow Weaver.

Shadow Weaver, a surly, snarls-at-shadows Full Moon Caste who would really rather be out hunting Raksha in the Wyld, but has undertaken the battle against the Realm for his own reasons. Vehemently rejects his past life's memories and attachments... or tries, at least.

This is magnificent fun! Hope this continues (so there'll be more transcripts) ... ;) --Dakkareth

Thanks for saying so! I'm confident we'll at least get to close out the Greyfalls situation, as these players are notoriously tenacious. We'll see after that whether or not they're interested in a second scenario.

Out of curiosity, since you're the only one (besides my own players) I know to have read anything here: how much of the content's been useful to you? Just the edited transcripts? The unedited ones? Sorry to be such a pollster, I'm just trying to figure out what people actually find interesting. I've never done play reports for anything before. --SabreCat

I find this all greatly amusing. I look forward to more. Had a few dastardly ideas to throw at my Solars who take amnesia, because eternal vow + lunars = fun - ArabianNinja

It's all entertaining to read. 8) -ScrambledValkyrie
