Exalt type

Classification

Celestial Exalted- the Exaltation is an indestructible swirling mass of essence and an almost limitless wellspring of power. Peripheral Essence is determined by the following calculation [Essence x6] + [Willpower] + [the sum of all highest virtues] the essence will seek out a new host should the current one die.

Terrestrial Exalted- the Exaltation permeates the substance of the host's being as though it were a living organism in itself. Peripheral Essence is reduced to [Essence x4] + [Willpower] + [the sum of the two highest virtues] any children the bearer has have a 10% chance of inheriting the Exaltation. Which may be increased by other factors.

Anima Power

An anima power typically costs 5 motes to activate or free once 11-15 motes of Peripheral are spent. Anima powers can be broad in scope but for those who need guidelines, many are roughly on a par with the power of a 3-dot Hearthstone. Obviously you can make powerful anima effects but realistically these should lack the free activation and/or cost more motes.

Charm basis

Exalt charms are tied to paticular traits, usually abilities- but it can also be to attributes (as demonstrated by Lunars)and though none of the existing Exalts are designed in this manner they can also have virtue based charms.

Ability- The Exalt has 5 caste abilties - Excellencies typically have a cap of (Ability)
Attribute- The Exalt has 3 caste attributes- Excellencies typically have a cap of (Essence)
Virtue- The Exalt has one caste virtue- Excellencies typically have a cap of (Essence)

Merits and Flaws

Merits
Extended Life

Flaws
Intrinsic Trait- One of the Exalt’s traits is fundamentally woven into the Exaltation- and neglecting it makes further enlightenment impossible.
Determine any one trait(aside from essence, for reasons that will become apparent) – whenever the Exalt’s permanent essence exceeds this trait they must raise this trait before they spend experience on anything else.
1 point flaw (may be taken twice)

Capped Essence
Mortality
Inherited Curse
