Caste-ing Taylor or Sophia as Lunars will be a lot easier than the vote for TDP. One's an obvious New Moon, the other's an obvious Full Moon, and either one covers a field that TDP doesn't.
His power is to steal skills, not copy them. I highly doubt Max is going to let Victor steal the skills of his recently triggered son. Especially not when his son has just morphed into a perfect recruiting poster for the Empire.

OTOH, there are plenty of charms we could use to steal or retrain them right back.
But do they know we can do that? There's no reason to suggest that they would use Victor on a friendly cape. Nor do they have reason to believe that his powers would even work on TDP. He wasn't able to do these things before "triggering", so it stands to reason that anything he can do now is the result of a parahuman ability, and Victor's power only works for mundane skills.
True. TDP doesn't even know he can do that.
Quote the relevant post, then click the button to the top-right of the message box that says "Use BB Code Editor". From there, you can copy the formatting itself instead of just the text. (This is also the only guaranteed way to transfer the correct formatting across sites to SB or SV.)
The QM's statements sort of imply that Taylor is actually the other Abyssal, but we'll see.
There was actually a story that more or less had this, though it didn't go anywhere.
Depending on how exactly Victor's power works, he probably already effectively has 5(+3) in a lot of abilities. I would recommend not underestimating him.
Sophia's a bitch.[X] If I wanted to join the Wards?
Easy access to Missy AND Sophia
We can rescue Dinah or Riley.
Nah. Fade-to-black is fine. Amelia has sexytime omake chapters in the NSFW section and just links into them in the main thread, you can do that too.
Why just one

Why would you read "xor" when I said "or"?Why just one
Orcus is a good one that isn't likely to be taken, comes from a European culture, and isn't female. (Lots of death deities are chicks, for some reason.) It also has certain connections to our anima power.
The question becomes do we want to be called Orcus?
There's Dracula, but that might be too on-the-nose. Maybe one of Dracula's conceptual ancestors...
Eurynomos would probably count. Most of the death-themed mythological beings are big enough that we might as well just use The Dark Prince. It's not like that's less arrogant than using a death god's name.
We're Exalted, even if we don't know it, we are naturally going to be the most arrogant jackass out there.
That's brilliant. How about Aminon, originally from Ossetian mythology? (as in, it's literally Caucasian)
