If you were declared the supreme, unquestioned ruler of all Creation, what would your first act be?
"It is said, the Anathema ruled the cosmos and were laid low by their villainy. It is written, the Shogunate ruled the World and were laid low by wars, and plague. It has been observed, the Empress ruled the Realm - and we have yet to learn what became of her. Nothing good, I imagine.
I would... immediately abdicate.
No, wait, that was no defense to any of the Cowardly Daimyos - they were lynched by those aggrieved by their own inaction. They sowed the seeds of their own destruction, surely as the rest. Ahh... of course! I would order a complete census of all Creation. Perhaps it would grant the information needed to govern effectively. Otherwise, at least it would keep everyone busy long enough to skip town."


Which god, if any, would you pray to when you feared all else was lost?
"It would surely depend on the nature of the threat I faced! If I was menaced by bedbugs, for instance, I would pray to Bali-Lali, the Goddess of spiders and other corpse-eating bugs. Wait - maybe Yaogin, God of Beautiful Dreams? Or, hang on a moment, who among the Terrestrial Court here would have jurisdiction... Sorry, what was the original question?"
...
"Oh. This is a
philosophical question. Very well. I would submit, firstly, that all is never lost, and secondly, to answer the question, Luranume, God of Fivefold Luck."

Who is your best friend?
"First rule of alchemy: never test your own elixer! That's what Twice-Refined Princess is for! You couldn't ask for a finer test subject, guardian, assistant, confidant, or friend."

"Yip!"
"She's also a hungry, filthy, willful and obnoxious beast - but then again, so am I!"

[url=https://pastebin.com/LYf78AZUARSENIC HANDSHAKE XU SIM[/url]


What the hell? What even are you?
"According to the texts of the Immaculate Order, I am an 'anathema', a man possessed by an ancient and malevolent spirit. This spirit is capable of intermittently interfering with my perception of reality in such a way as I cannot ascertain whether or not it is interfering at any given moment. However, it is said to interfere in such a way as to lead me towards ever-greater acts of villainy and evil. This is an extremely serious allegation, and so it must be taken seriously. How can I be certain my senses and actions are not in the thrall of a monster?"
Six months later...
"I have spent the last six months alone on the summit, seeking an answer to a question: Am I a monster? The nature of the evil spirit described in your texts is such that my senses would be deceived into believing my own righteousness. However, all this time, the solution eludes me. Can you, honorable and righteous Immaculate Brother, persuade me?"

What's your experience been with the Wyld Hunt? Have you avoided ever crossing its path? If not, what happened?
"I was forced to end my seclusion, due to the interruption of an Immaculate monk and his princely escorts. They set upon me at night, surely after a hard day's travel up the mountainside. The Monk's argument was... unconvincing, though I cannot conclusively demonstrate he was wrong. Escape was not easy, but I think I may have an idea of where I may be able to find answers to my dilemma."

Who from your mortal life would you most like to see again?
"My former apprentice."

Who from your mortal life would you least like to see again?
"My former master."

Tell me three things you want to do, see, or experience in the game.
* Pose and answer riddles in a kung fu battle
* Hunt for bizarre and esoteric alchemical ingredients
* Perform outrageous works of sorcery

UNFETTERED XIA LAN
Tell me, Sun, are you punishing me? Is this the price I'm paying for my past mistakes?

Pre-Exaltation questions:
If you were declared the supreme, unquestioned ruler of all creation, what would your first act be?
- Easy. Golden statue of me, huge enough so nobody can steal it, and with some kinda magic so I don't have to worry about vandals. Probably get a lot of those, heh. Oh, and it'd have to be in the center of town so everyone would get to know how great I am.
Which god, if any, would you pray to when you feared all else was lost?
- None of them. Wait, is there one that covers spite? I want to take 'em down with me, whoever they are. That's what they get for going after the amazing Xia Lan!
Who is your best friend?
- Kana Kavu, of course! She and I are partners in crime! Er, partners in the perfectly legitimate business of claim assessment and debt collection. And also partners in crime.

Post-Exaltation Questions:
What the hell? What even are you?
- A mistake. I mean, I know that's not possible, the Sun doesn't make mistakes, but I'm not worthy. I'm not worthy and yet the Sun chose me. I don't understand. He called me his "best self."
What's your experience been with the Wyld Hunt? Have you avoided ever crossing its path? If not, what happened?
- I was attacked on my way out of the desert. After the worst day in my life, this was cathartic. Two Immaculates fled from me; I haven't seen them since.
Who from your mortal life would you most like to see again?
- Kana Kavu.
Who from your mortal life would you least like to see again?
- Anyone else from the Ruby Reds. I couldn't face them.
Tell me three things you want to do, see, or experience in the game. Be as specific ('I want to give Chejop Kejak a swirlie in front of all the Incarnae') or as general ('I want to explore spooky First Age ruins') as you like. You can speak to your preferred genre and mood here as well.
- I want to see that dude from the Shadowlands again.
- I want to use disguises for hijinks.
- I want to learn old Solar hymns, if there are any.
