In a way it makes me sad to know that there will ever be an end to your great Exaltated story *sigh*. It's a great story thus far and I can't wait to see what part 6 will be like.

ARRRRG.
The Tell does not work like this.
This is just one of the things that are Just So Wrong in the story, but this one is a pet peeve of mine. Why do people have to keep using the "the Tell is always the same and will be alien & mark you as a Lunar" when the chapter about it is clear that it adapts to each form to be natural. A mouse wouldn't have feathers, but a streak of fur that's black like a raven (vaguely shaped like a feather).
Which Pensri would recognize as a Tell, since it she knows the Lunar it belongs to and would be able to recognize through it.

Having the feathers in the hair in human form is fine, people have that. For the mouse it is just ridiculous.

Well, I was hoping another poster would come and bug you so I can get another tidbit of your story, Most Horrifying Dr. Bender, but it appears it doesn't happen. Same. Anyway...
Roughly speaking, what is Tetsu's Attribute priorities? My guess is Physical/Mental/Social. Since lugging around daiklave take a lot of Strength for normal human. And after he is changed by Sanejin (and Luna), mechanic-wise, what actually happened? Does Luna force Tetsu to redistribute her Attribute and adding some skills, or what?
Oh, and thanks for giving marvelous example what kind of epic deed mortal need to do to become Eclipse caste. Insightful.
War is war; destruction is destruction. You think this is obvious. But war is not destruction, it is victory. To achieve victory, simply appear to give the opponent what he wants and he will go away, or join you in your quest for additional power.

Roughly speaking, Tetsu started out as a Mortal character made with Scroll of Heroes. To top it off, he had some added XP from previous unseen adventures. Because of that, his Attribute priorities didn't mean much but were probably Physical/Social/Mental (with Appearance as a dump stat). In addition, I used a Merit to raise his Strength to 6 dots.
Now, I've said it before but it bares repeating, I wouldn't give a PC the abilities I'm giving Tetsu. What works in fiction =/= a good play experience.
That being said, I don't want to spoil Luna and Tetsu's relationship too much. However, if you look at Luna's stats in Glories Most High you can see that Luna can do pretty much anything she wants to a mortal practically out of hand (and I take the view that the Incarnae are really more powerful than they're presented to be in Glories, they have the support of the whole of Yu Shan and Creation behind them!).
Some examples: Raising Attributes to 6 dots (like Appearance), Adding the more expensive version of the Priest merit, 'teaching' Lunar charms (like all the second Exellencies), teaching spirit charms (though I didn't give out All-Encompassing Shapechange), mutations, merits... the sky's the limit.
If you want exact statistics, I don't have them. See, if I followed the rules of Exalted too closely, well, combat would be boring for a start (who can run out of Motes to PD with first?). I also use lots and lots of stunting.
The statement in my signature is false.

I sort of figured he had high appearance, and a negative effect(forgot the term), that lowered it to 1 or whatever, given that he apparently was fairly handsome before drinking tainted water.
