Not so much Issei with Kiba Yuuto of all people. He's the "damn handsome," Issei's natural enemy in the dating scene.
 
More than factions, I think we should ask about the Sacred Gears.
Well, that and whether others will come after it.

After all, we don't really care about the political situation yet and this seems like a decent way to get some basic information we need about ourselves and to segue into potentially working with them/joining them or at least keeping in touch, if Kiba desires this.

Maybe add something about whether this whole thing changes anything about our life or not.

There is a magician faction, so maybe we should ask for any Information on Magic user? They may even have magical books of the Exalted type somwhere.
 
I'm honestly not sure about this wizard write-in.
I mean we had a weird stream of knowledge, but we didn't even cast spells or anything, and otherwise nothing we really did screams wizard, so it seems rather weird to just consider ourselves that.

Just a word change, Wizards would usually equate with being squishy, which we aren't considering the Light Spear he blocked that earlier had torn through his stomach like tissue paper. Plus not locking ourselves in with any one description will keep anyone from, probably, making assumptions about us. Although that could also work in our favor possibly.

Think that last one is a little redundant with the first possibly.

You lit your hand on fire but it only burned the girl you punched. It's either magic or you're still dead and just dreaming the whole thing. If you can do magic, you're a wizard or close enough that calling yourself a wizard wouldn't be hilariously wrong. And from a more meta perspective, we're a Twilight with Occult 5. You'd better believe we're a wizard!

Maybe, but if the last point gets dealt with in the answer to the second I expect it just to be dropped, while if it doesn't get dealt with we completely fail to ask him about how we're supposed to deal with Fallen Angels being out to get us.

It may be magic, but punching someone with fists covered in Gloriously Burning Sunlight is not being a wizard at all.
Especially not to a teenager whose wizard image is most likely heavily defined by JRPGs.

As for the meta perspective, it may be true, but that's going a bit far with the OOC knowledge.
Besides, we aren't a Wizard yet.

Agreed. Which is what I tried for in my change with the write-in but I'll switch to yours. Same-diff.

Kung-fu magic is a thing in Japanese media too, but the word choice is mostly a gag that I would expect Alexander to edit to be more in-character rather than just copy-pasting it.

But now that I think of it, Issei already knows what he is -- he said in the first post "I am the Twilight." What exactly that means might be a better question.
 
priorities should be

Finding out about immediate risks to ourself our family and friends
and getting more sources of information on angels and demons and fallen angels.

-[X] "The Fallen Angel, she said something about Sacred Gear, what is it?"
--[X] "If you are a Devil, the is the entire Occult Research Club the same as yours, too?"
We should have some proof that we know Sacred Gear, otherwise Kiba may doubt we have a Sacred Gear on our own, besides Fallen Angel, we should know about the Devil, too.

Information: In DxD verse magic consumes your stamina (magic pool or the same thing), you use the formulas and equations to create magic (more like pheromone, a small scale reality manipulation) bases on the rules of the world, doesn't need any kind of chant or spell words, zero prep time if your brain can calc fast enough. It's like "If I use this formulas, this will happen."

Edit: We are like Paladin or Arcane Warrior who is not only good at magic but also physic combat.

That's kind of a long way away from the "imagine result, input magical power, ???, profit!" routine we were shown when Issei was learning Dress Break. Where did this come from?

Except for the parts where we have shit physical stats and no combat training. We might have that potential, but right now we're not living up to it.

The latter novels.

It's mentioned in one of them that all forms of magic have their roots in other beings trying to copy the innate magical abilities of Devils, so that may explain why Dress Break is "Imagine naked chick, input magic, profit!"

For Boosted Gear I have prepared this rough draft:
Artifact: 5 (Longinus. 'nuff said.)
Description: Soul-bound Artifact
Form: Single Gauntlet
Speed: 5
Accuracy: +0
Damage: +4B
Defense: +2
Attune: 5 (the cost to call it out)
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
This is good.

Effects: with the first Boost it creates an Overdrive Pool of Essence equal to double the user's motes in the Personal Essence. This Essence can be used only for offensive tactics, not defensive ones. Double again the Overdrive Pool every ten seconds. The maximum amount of Boosts is (Stamina+Essence)X3. Once the limit is reached, or if the user desires so, there is "Explosion": the user can use 10 motes from the Overdrive Pool to temporarily raise one Physical Attribute by one dot, with a maximum of two dots for Attribute. The rest of the motes can still be used only for offense. The effects of "Explosion" last for a number of minutes equal to the user's unmodified Stamina. At the end a -1 Fatigue Penalty is inflicted.

This is still incomplete of course. But what do you think so far?
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
I like the theme, but the mechanics don't work that well. It is overly math heavy to keep track of easily and uses units of time that don't work in exalted maybe something like this would work better.

Effects: When attuned the Exalt gains a temporary personal overdrive pool with a maximum capacity twice that of his personal mote pool. It comes into existence with 10 offensive motes. It can be filled in the following ways.
1. It automatically gains (essence x 5) motes during the exalts action for (stamina x essence) actions after it has been attuned. Once those actions have past, the pool loses (10-stamina) with a minimum of one motes instead.
2. The exalt may also spend a relevant virtue channel gaining (virtue*5) offensive motes.
The exalt also gains the ability to spend 10 offensive motes to gains a one dot bonus to a chosen physical attribute a a miscellaneous action, the bonus lasts until the artifact deactivates. The bonuses through the use of this ability do stack but cannot raise the attribute above (essence+relevant attribute). This bonus does not count as added by a charm. The ability automatically activates if motes added to the overdrive pool would raise it beyond it's maximum capacity, until it would no longer be overfilled by the added motes.

The artifact automatically loses attunement if the overdrive pool is ever empty. When attunement is lost the exalt suffers from a -1 fatigue penalty for one scene.
*******

This makes it work in exalted combat time. It reduces the amount of math needed and lowers numbers to a reasonable level. It also allows him to extend the effect beyond the normal duration by channeling virtues which fits how he uses it in canon. I also altered the maximum bonus scales with essence and is slightly better starting off so his best physical attribute is already slightly superhuman.

(When he said we were glowing, the first image that came to mind was Dragonball Z's super sayajins, and I barely watch that stuff.)

You're more right than you know. An Exalt's anima banner is a battle aura with some mechanical benefits (ours gives us an emergency shield that takes a few points off of attacks that penetrate our other defenses), which is in keeping with the inspiration that Exalted draws from -- not just Dragonball Z and the like, but also Asian mythology. DBZ and Exalted can both trace that trope back to ancient Buddhist artists who use flaming halos and the like to signify the power of beings like gods and the Asura and so forth.

Magic and Demonic Powers in DxD verse are different.

Magic needs your mind to calc the equations and formulas, as well as the rules.

Demonic Powers bases on your desire and imagination. Since Issei's desire was to see the naked girl body, his [Dress] Break] executed that for him, and he was already a Devil at that time.

Alexander, why is it that you can update these quests so quickly, but take so long to update Enryu's quest? I mean no offense, I'm just curious.

Ehh its a new quest & he hasn't run out of ideas yet. Give it 10 or so updates & it will slow down.

GMs can abandon quests as they will. Whatever makes the creative juices flow.

To be fair Alex has this thing with quests they start out fast but then slow down as they require more and more choices and characters.

One of these quests cannot be compared AND SHOULD NOT to the Pages long EPICS that are ToG/Campione, WH40k/Campione, FSN/Tohou, Naruto/Campione and his other quests that I don't actively follow which are a GREAT deal longer and require much more effort on his part then the 2 Exalted and 1 Eva/MGQ QQ quests.
