== Basics == * '''Name:''' Ten-Feathered Pen * '''Concept:''' Strung-Out Rabble-Rousing Reporter * '''Caste/Aspect:''' Sidereal Chosen of Secrets * '''Anima Banner:''' The Sign of Jupiter bobbing drunkenly in a haze of green light * '''Motivation:''' Restore the Solars to power in Heaven and end the Celestial Bureaucracy's corruption. * '''Intimacies:''' Feeding his addiction, breaking his addiction, finding worthy Exalts * '''Experience:''' 0/0 === Background === A mischievous god met a young, hardworking Sidereal from the Celestial Records Department and began to court him, begging little favors here and there and rewarding the spindly young man with small favors of her own. When she grew tired of him, she decided to try out one of her nastier tricks on him, simply to see if it worked. She fed him a morsel of Ambrosia laced with the prayers of an addict. The poor young Sidereal became forever addicted to the sweet substance. The god left him in the orgasmic throes of the delicious flavor, and was never heard from since. Ten-Feathered Pen, the hapless Sidereal who was the victim of the cruel prank, was left without any way to get another fix of the solidified faith, and so he began to steal, skim, and pilfer his way through the budgets of other bureaus, careful never to take enough to get him noticed. Then, Ten Feathered Pen was discovered porking his way through the quarterly budget of Ambrosia of another department. His salary was cut off and he was forced to live out of his office in the Records Department. He was allowed to keep his position, mainly due to his usefulness and knowledge of the department, but also because it was where he could do the least harm and the intervention of several allies. He was allowed to work off his punishment, so long as he kept his head low and did as he was told. He got a good deal of what he'd lost to his punishment back, but his longing for Ambrosia only got worse. He almost forgot his addiction when he stumbled on an old memorandum with the name of that trickster goddess who'd gotten him hooked on Ambrosia, and another Sidereal's name stamped at the bottom, ordering her to get him addicted to it. He followed the trail back, until obstructive bureaucracy kept him from going further. He knew, then, that he'd never find his answers as long as the current system was in place. He transferred to the Eastern Convention and signed on with the Yu-Shan times. In them, he sees the potential to overthrow the current regime and put the Sun back in its rightful place in the sky. And maybe, along the way, clear his own name of shame. === Appearance === Ten-Feathered Pen looks underfed and sickly, on the verge of passing out from exhaustion. Spite keeps him walking, and sheer bloody-mindedness. He is almost never seen without a cigar in his mouth, constantly puffing away great clouds of smoke. He is tall and thin underneath drab green travel clothes, sticks held together by weather-worn skin and whipcord sinew. He rarely eats, years of binging having killed his ability to taste, and because he knows nothing can compare to the heavenly taste of Ambrosia. His dark eyes glitter alternately with fevered intelligence and desperate need underneath a shock of unkempt black hair.
