Exalted

This is the world of creation. Once formed by the Primordials in the endless chaos. The gods, children of the Primordials created the exalted, mortal heroes imbued with the power of gods to fight the Creators of the world. The exalted one and under the leadership of the solar exalted a golden age was ushered in. You are one of those exalted. But creation has changed. The solar exalted, the strongest of the exalted were overthrown by the Dragon Blood exalted and the Sidereal exalted after their power drove them to madness, they run the show now. The dragon blooded as the obvious leaders and the sidereals hidden behind the workings of fate. The Lunar exalted the former partners of the solar return to challenge the Empire of the Dragonblooded and the Abyssal - solar exalted twisted by the imprisoned primordials - try to undo creation. Burn your path in glory through this world. Possible Exalted: Solar exalted: The absolute best at what they do. Strong, tough, charismatic a flaming banner of heroism, sadly now hunted by the world. Lunar exalted: The former partners of the Solars. Shapechanging wild bunch that hates what happened to creation and more or less directly try to challenge the status quo. Dragon Blood exalted: The current masters of creation. The weakest exalted but also the most numerous, with elemental powers and a whole empire behind them. Sidereal Exalted: Chosen by fate, these exalted try to keep creation running and their powers are less direct but no less effective than others. Abyssal Exalted: People who died and got offered a second chance with a twisted solar essence shard. Now their one job is to undo creation, but the primordials dont care much where they start with the undoing. Or as someone else put it so much better: Exalted is a game where one of your main antagonists is Death, Creator of the Underworld. Except there's actually several of them, probably six or seven. Oh, and they’ve got 13 dread henchmen doing all the heavy lifting for them , one of whom was probably the other half of your soul in a past life (literally, not as in soulmate). Also, Hell as both a faction and a living landscape has a personal grudge against you for mutilating them into insane demons. Magical Rome/Persia/China regularly trains and sends ninja-monks out for you personally. Ninjas specially trained in coordinated Elementalism and sundry other forms of magic asskicking. And if that doesn't work, they keep giant color-coded gundams and suits of power armor as backups. The Jedi Council has corrupted Heaven and usurped your rightful place as the Masters of Everything - but nobody can remember them. The only reason they haven't hunted you down is that they're too busy trying to keep reality from imploding. Your ex-wife dropped by; she's a two thousand year old shapechanging man-eating monster, interested in maybe going on a date next Thursday for dinner, followed by breeding a new race capable of rewriting the biosphere. Your best friend from growing up -and your last life- now seeks to cover all the lands of Middle Earth in darkness, if he can just find this damn ring. Your god has the world's biggest drug habit, and needs some serious rehab. You may bump into some fairies, but instead of granting wishes, they eat people's souls. And yet, in theory, you think you can fix everything! Welcome to Creation, kid! Hope you've got enough Essence! Have Fun. Update: Made the Chosen mode more awesome and fixed the map. Update 2: Big Update: Greatly increased the map with new regions and over 50 new locations. Also tweaked the ai for the chosen of heaven run and added a lot of quests and narrative events.
