Sure. Might be good to reflect what he’d LIKE to do in his thought processes, though 
It’s just an opening line. That’s the point of the Prologue, after all: to give you and I a chance to feel out your character. Take it where you want it to be Hell rewrite it if you really can’t launch off what I’ve written.
Ooo. Sounds like fun How’d it go?
Oh, no, I can launch. It’s just that where I launch to might… or might not… be what you expect. I’ll type it up tonightish.
Instead, I was sick and fell asleep. But it is now posted. I’ve also read three of the Flat Earth books by Tanith Lee. It’s amazingly bishonen!
damnation…my laptop broke down
I sent it to the shop for repairs, no idea how long it will take to repair
I’ m on my mothers PC now, but it means I can’t play for a bit
sorry
Checkin’ in here to mention I’m still alive after an arduous weekend. How’s everyone else doing?
I still exist. Still figure Dhorain’s going to pass his turn, and see what happens next. If he’s capable of standing, he’s going to repeat his previous attack on Ilana until he’s unconscious, incapable of movement, or given a pressing reason to stop. (His impending death is not such a reason at the present moment.)
It’s probably a good thing he’s forgotten about the knife at his belt, or this could get ugly.
I figure he has no chance of actually succeeding, so feel free to narrate Dhorain slowly getting up and then getting knocked down again if other events are happening.
My laptop is still in the shop, next week I should hear if they can repair it,
Maybe it’s still under warranty
I hope so because I haven’t got the money for a new pc
So, some thoughts about the way I interpret Exalted psychology, and Dhorain in specific.
In Exalted, Virtues have concrete existence. No matter how you come about your Valor or Compassion or Conviction (or lack thereof), your abundance of the Virtue (or its lack) has tangible, measurable affects on your actions.
Now, Dhorain has deliberately lopsided Virtue scores. The way I’ve been seeing him is having essentially three personalities. His first personality is effectively an entirely constructed personality. He was told that it’s good and correct to care about people, and keep your word, and be a good citizen, and so forth. While he’s operating in this mode, he’s using his stunted Compassion and Conviction scores.
Poke him a bit, and you get a brash, impulsive, arrogant, violent youth; that’s who’s mostly been talking during his in-character bits. In this mode, Dhorain is proud but practical; he really likes finding situations involving hitting bad people, but also has care for his own honor, and to a lesser extent, his own well-being.
Underneath that, you have his Valor and Temperance. This is basically an aimable psychopath/sociopath personality. While acting in this mode (which is basically his Limit Break) he identifies his greatest adversary, attacks it directly until it’s gone or he is, then moves on to the next.
If Dhorain had more of a stable personality, or didn’t have such extreme differences between the two pairs of virtues, I figure he’d have a more integrated mindset. As it is, I plan on playing the influence of his high-value virtues as literal voices in his head. Only wrinkle is, they’re all his voice, just urging him to do different things at different times.
bump For great justice!
I got nothin.
