Lunar

Valor

Curse of the Laughing Jackal
Consumed by an arrogant belief in her own superiority and expertise, the Laughing Jackal admits no flaw or failure in her abilities, taking any challenge she believes herself competent in [at base, defined as any ability test where she possesses a rating of 3 or higher], and offering alternate challenges when presented with an area of her own lacking competence.
When partially controlled, the character can 'look before she leaps', determining whether the contest is fair and planning the best way to accomplish her success rather than immediately leaping to action, though she remains compelled to act on any challenge issued within the scene. When challenged to a contest of an ability she lacks, the partially controlling Lunar can remain quiet, smug in the knowledge of her excellence in important areas.

Compassion

Curse of the Watchful Mother
Like nearly any mother beast in creation, when something the Exalt cares about is threatened with harm or destruction, she cannot help but fly into a frenzy, risking life and limb against even the most innocent and harmless intruders. Just as a bird will harass and pester a beast many times its' size that draws too close to the nest, so does the Exalt force everything to keep its' distance from whatever she so obsessively protects.
The Exalt attacks what she perceives as the most dangerous thing threatening her nearest ward [a person, place, or thing protected by her motivation or a positive intimacy] until it retreats, is defeated, or her ward escapes. She cannot stop her attack, even if threatened with death, until the aforementioned conditions occur. If the threat is not immediate, or retreats, she will seek to isolate whatever was threatened, and keep them somewhere 'safe' for the rest of the scene - abducting them if necessary, or simply forcing everything else to stay at a distance.
Partial Control: The Exalt can think to retreat from a superior foe as long as she can bring who she seeks to protect with her. She can use some degree of tactics as well - acting as a distraction rather than simply a frenzied attacker.

Temperance

Curse of the Meticulous Spider
Perfection becomes of the utmost importance. The slightest mistake on the Lunar's part renders her efforts meaningless, requiring that she begin anew, detaching her web to craft it once again. While in limit break, she must focus on a single task at hand, related to her Motivation, to the exclusion of all else. If combat occurs, she acts as if Inactive, except that she can use her Dodge DV with a -2 penalty.
A partially controlled break allows her to remove obstacles to her task rather than simply ignore them; she can take actions related to enabling her to pursue her objectives, such as defeating an assassin whose stabs interfere with her work, albeit at a -2 internal penalty.
