Let's say hello to Isaia, the crew's chef.

A Sidereal Chosen of Endings, Isaia is one of the last Exalts to join the ranks of the crew. He prefers keeping his hands clean, and instead send his two trusted students — Natia and Ve'a — to handle more direct matters. Cooking is how he expresses his own passion for life, even if he knows lives can end as suddenly as his pieces of art can be consumed.

With three members of the crew revealed, we're going to take a brief pause to instead ask the whole crew a question to get to know them better.

Ayway, I have an obligation to draw all Sid's if I'm offered them so here is your tsun blue-sid!

Exaltober, Day 11: Way of the Immaculates

Malati, the youngest Skalishaya sister, was mentored by Chejop Kejak himself, and is a terrifyingly good martial artist. Rachna, who has extensive memories from the First Age, has his own opinions about Malati’s sifu. 

Characters in this comic:

Malati, the Resplendent Orchid (Chosen of Secrets Sidereal, dark purple hair)

Kaveri Shendo (Night Caste Solar, dark red hair)

Anjali Skalishaya (No Moon Lunar, purple/blonde hair)

Rachna, Anjali’s mate (Scourge Caste Infernal, face tattoo)

 I have an idea, that like, a minor god or something became jealous of the major gods and their Exalted and decided to make their own Exalted to be “better” than the other Exalted. But due to the god’s nature-both as a minor god and as someone with a deep sense of envy and inferiority- the resulting Exaltation didn’t turn out quite right. Basically the idea is a type of Exalted who are like shittier versions of the Celestial Exalted

     They kind of have their own version of the Great Curse (even they didn’t even exist during the great war) but I think it would be more accurate to call them Inadequacies. I feel like the Exaltation would seek out people who feel  jealous of something or someone. Or people who feel inferior in general.

     They also have “castes” though whether or not they should really be called that is debatable. It’s really more like “what Celestial exalt type are you specifically inferior to?”

         -The Solar dupes- like Solars but less. They have the Inadequacy of Perfection, which means they can be as good as stuff as they want but in the end they’ll always fail. Think Tex from RvB.

       -The Lunar dupes-  like Lunars but less. They have the Inadequacy of Change, which means that whatever change they make will  revert back in the end.

      - The Terrestrial dupes- like Terrestrials but less. They have the Inadequacy of Balance, which means their teams and relationships have a tendency to fall apart. Which is especially bad since a lot of the charms they copy are teamwork based, so they’re constantly joining and leaving and having teams fall apart.

      -The Sidereal dupes- like Sidereals but less. They have the Inadequacy of Fate, which means all their plans either fail or end up causing an unpleasant twist in the end. At least they don’t have to do paperwork.
