Alright chaps, let's see what you can do. I have a couple of campaigns coming up in the future that are going to be Infernal (instead of the normal mish-mash my GM's have to actually balance between solars, lunars, abyssals, infernals and siderials).
Now, first off is a character design that might seem a little....off for exalted. I want Exalted James Bond. Specifically, Exalted Pierce Brosnan Bond. The overall plan is to have the party pick a Bond they like (or a bond secondary character) and roughly base their character off them. Danial Craig is an action Bond, so more focus on combat, while Sean Connery is a suave social combat Bond.
Now, Pierce is a slightly unfocused Bond archetype. He's got a bit of social, a bit of combat and a fair bit of stealth and manipulation going for him. Based on that, I was thinking a Scourge with the Ebon Dragon as favoured (because one of the other players has claimed Sean Connery, and is going Fiend, so aiming for a mostly-unique circle in terms of caste. This is not concrete.)
The plan is to create a collective James Bond identity using Loom-Snarling-Deception and other ED charms in order to utterly confuse and disorient the enemies the GM throws at us, since the 'one man' can be switched out for any of the various Bonds that the party has picked, giving us a wide array of specialty to work with. Plus, I recall there's a charm in one of the trees that allows ninja style replacement, meaning we can drop in a 'new' bond whenever necessary for the mission at hand.
What do you people think? What sort of stats/abilities/charms/backgrounds should I look at for a Pierce Brosnan inspired Infernal at character generation and beyond? Also, since we're Bond we'll be using firearms most likely, but not the ones from shards as far as we're aware. I was looking into Spies, but taking a full 5 dots would eat into my bonus points...
The second is a more basic idea, an Asura (Asura's wrath) inspired Slayer. So a Martial Arts focussed close combat monster that will possibly pick up Infernal Monster because why not. What Stats/abilities/charms/backgrounds are recommended?
