How very true. they are pretty freaking cool.
I was trying to keep things as simple for the people who might be interested as possible though. Not that I really succeeded sweatdrop
To try and throw all the info at people at once tends to make them even more confused in my experiance.

Okay. Here's the deal.
I'm very very interested. I love roleplaying. The catch is that I have no clue how everything works. I've read every post and I'm still clueless. I have a good idea going for my character, but I haven't organized it into an appropriate description yet. Please. Do either of you have any advice?

Having a charactor concept and discription in your head is the first and most important step. We want to keep things lax for all players, so we won't be nazis about die rolls or anything like that.
What I suggest is you type out a short bio, or discription of your charactors history and send it to either me or Yoko, then one of us can judge it approprite and begin to help you to build a charactor.
If you have a particular type of Exalted in mind, I can only really help you build Abyssals, and Solars, and I'm on more often, Yoko can do any of them, but she's on less often, so when you're ready to PM keep that in mind

You and me both ^_^
Also, my apollogies about the really crappy descriptions about the world your in. It's just that I'm trying to balance how much info you need to know, with how much is excess that you'd try to absorb and then just get confused because of the sheer mass of info, along with how much your chars would know about the world.
Again, I'm sorry for the confusion. Please PM me if you've any specific question about the background of the world your in, or, at least as narrow a question you can make.

Sounds good... sweatdrop I already have more characters than I thought I'd ever have in my life. Is there any chance I can maybe revamp a current character, or maybe even just use them as is?

Sorry it's taken so long folks. Life's been pretty much in the way of everything recently, so here's opening postage ^_^ I honestly don't really care what your chars are doing right now in the city. put them where you'd like. Culture here is basically the wild west meet arabian nights. as is architexture, the rich houses, and in particular, the theaters, can be incredibly ornate.
A lot had happened in the months since Ashura and Garison had fled from the battle field together. Or more accurately, it had felt that way, even though the sporadic episodes of violence and fear had been spaced weeks apart. The spaces in between were simply filled with tedious, tiresome, fear propelled flight. The closest the pair had come to actual rest had been on the boat they’d hired to take them south, to Lookshy not that their rest had lasted for long. The hunt had been waiting for them with an agent on their boat, perhaps more than one, but in the chaos that had ensued, she’d had only recognized the sorcerer as another of the passengers. Between the three ships of soldiers, the sorcerer, and their extended journey on a half sunk vessel after forcing their captain to change course for Chiaroscuro, they were more than lucky to be alive. Apparently they were wanted alive, as it was the only reason their ship hadn’t simply had it’s hull ripped out, leaving the pair to drown in the waves of the inland sea. Now, almost three months of non-stop traveling, the pair had stopped to rest in Yane. Ashura had paid the innkeeper, then fallen asleep for nearly two days, ate ravenously upon waking, moved through her martial drills in the confines of their… room, if one could call a place made of wood a room, and finally passed out from the exertion, falling back against the bed. The few times she’d woken since had been marked by more attempted practice, and more collapse from exhaustion. Running was not something she’d been preparing her life for and it was doing a number on her mental state, the stress finally manifesting itself. She was so exhausted that she didn’t even hear the horns, or the cries of the beggars and poor through the evening streets. Jade wrought hunting horns were something she was used to blowing herself, not running from after all. Wrapped in her sheet, she smiled and curled more tightly around her pillow, dreaming a pleasantly for the first time in ages, the horns reassuring her that her prey was all the closer. Anathema were the only prey worth hunting after all. But in the real world, they’d been found. The Hunt had come to Yane.

It had been weeks since Nix had destroyed the entire keep that night. He had acquired some new clothes and washed several times, but he still smelled faintly of the blood of all those he'd slain. At least the tattoos, which shone as bright as day, as if they had burned onto him from the inside out, had faded. They had been there for days, with the eerie purple aura that erupted around him. But now, as he was at the gates of Yane, the tattoo and aura had faded. The only two things that still bore the reminder of that day were the faint smell of blood that still draped him and the pain that began in his hands and cirept ts way up his forearms, a pain which was still as intense as the day he had acquired it. He had gotten somewhat used to that pain, though. He could almost sleep, now.
Nix's reasoning for being in Yane was simple -- Effram, who he had met several times before with D'Joran, was one of the few that still welcomed him. In fact, in the days following the massacre, Effram, a member of "The Cult" (or so Nix had been told) had become more curious about Nix. In days which all that Nix once knew turned their back on him, in days which he was responsible for the murder of hundreds and all in the region knew his name, it was comforting to find one who still might offer him aid.
While it was true that he might not be able to trust Effram completely, Nix remained cautiously optimistic.
[Note: By "The Cult" I mean The Cult of the Illuminated. It is alright to have one of my contacts based here and in the Cult of the Illuminated, right? xd At least gives me reason to be here. eek If not, I'll rewrite with a new reason. Heh.]

Garrison of Devious Hatred sat against the wall in his room just next door to his companion Ashura's. Over his shoulder was slung his scythe, he clung to it childishly and glared at the bed from the corner of his eye.
It was to much for her to ask him to sleep in this place, but he had to do it for her. He stood, spat on the wood in front of him, and walked slowly over to the bed. Using his scythe blade to turn down the covers, he lowered himself onto the deflated and worn mattress. the scythe was lain against the wall near the head of the bed. He sneered as he lowered his head onto the pillow, he tried to imagine the bed being made of something slightly more suitable; he had no hope for this working, which was a good thing in the end, because it didn't work.
A sound rang over the crowd roaring outside. His eyes shot open, his hand groped for his weapon, he sat bolt upright. He ran his tongue across his upper lip nervously, and then wrapped on the wall behind him.

To Nix:
The gate had been wedged open, an almost empty apple cart that had been upturned and tossed on top of a carriage, keeping the gate from being dropped down for the night, as well as keeping the other larger carts from passing through and back to their farms, though before they could attempt, the wreckage would have to be cleared from the main road. carts were overturned and trampled all down the road, several small fires had broken out, and the cries of the wounded grew as the sun continued to set, streaks of red and gold retreating toward the horizon apparently at the behest of the horns, still echoing through the buildings farther into the city.
To Garison:
The sounds of window shutters hitting wall echoed through the inn and down the street, along with the souds of some breaking pottery. The noise of the terrified and injured though, were growing louder, but were fighting to overcome the almost equally loud noise of other people comming to see what was causing the commotion. In the next room, Ashura swore. "Damn peasents!" Or more accuratly, "Dahhphm pehshensh," Her indignation muffled by a pillow. There came a faint 'wumph', as though somthing plush had hit the wall with rather significant force.

To Garison:
And then, a hissing sound, followed by a quickling fading screaching noise made itself heard over teh growing noise outside, which for a moment grew silent as a distant explosion echoed through the roof.
**note, second story room.**
