General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal

[SurlySeraph]

I did a write-up for a 0 xp Sidereal mountain-hurler, using the Dawn errata. He's built primarily for lifting and throwing, of course, with some attention paid to Astrology so he can keep using that resplendency.

Name: Propitious Projector of Peaks
Exalt Type and Caste: Sidereal Chosen of Journeys
Anima: A hovering yellow mountain

Lifting ability, so you don't have to wait for it:
5 Strength + 5 Athletics + 3 Specialties + 5 Virtue channel + 5 Cooperation + 2 Stunt + 2 Second Excellency +3 Eye of the First Goat +2 Jewel of Youthful Suppleness = 32, multiplied by The Mast for a final 320 Feat of Strength.

Motivation: To free Creation from the Primordials by moving large objects to more auspicious locations.

Background: Projector was born in midair, as a Solar hurled a field hospital out of a First Circle Demon's reach to save the civilians inside. He was recruited to run messages for the military as soon as he learned to walk, at first in a succession of Sidereal field headquarters and later through active battlefields. At maturity, Projector was assigned to a counter-intelligence unit and rescued tremendous amounts of valuable information from the enemy with remarkable strength and timing, heaving bookcases onto passing yeddim and hurling data crystals onto low-flying airships.
Still, it was only in the minutes after his Exaltation that Projector truly came into his own. There is no need to recount that exploit here; everyone knows how the behemoth Gozmal the Flat got its name. Projector has begun to rearrange mountain ranges across the North in defense of the world, and confidently predicts that demonic forces will retreat from this Direction by the time Gozmal's tail stops twitching. Whether leading a detachment of Sidereal mountain-hurlers or rallying a Talon of adoring Dragon-Bloods, he has become one of the most prominent Celestials in the North mere months since his Exaltation.
Several have asked Mercury if Projector was supposed to Exalt as a Solar, noting his awesomeness and virtue and tendency to shine yellow light everywhere. She always smiles and says she would never steal from the UCS, and certainly not alter Fate to deprive His Perfection of a soul that deserved a more powerful Exaltation than what she can provide. Jupiter always starts giggling around then, for some reason.

EDIT: The reason your eyes hurt when you look directly at the sun is because it's punching you.

This needs to be a Charm. It's also my personal canon from now on.
