Partnership & Avarice - The Peacock

The Peacock struts his magnificent finery, be it gang stylings, armor, or court clothing. He is proud and has excellent bearing. He shows discerning taste and is obviously sexually available. It is the sign of practical alliance, thoughtful breeding, considered partnerships, loveless marriages, forced alliances, and half-functional partnerships. Its correlations are greed, love for wealth's sake, procreation, dualities, alliances, bright colors, necessity, traps, and distraction. (Exalted: the Sidereals, p. 224).

The Peacock moves with self-assurance, spurning naïveté and purity in the name of confidence and power. Her every movement is firm and unyielding, every strike a carefully considered ploy in accordance with both the necessity of the moment and the necessity of her schemes. She is jaded and thoroughly in control of any situation. For the duration of this Charm, the martial artist may alter the initiative tick on which any character within her (Martial Arts x 2) yards acts by her (Essence x 2). She may alter her own initiative as well.
