Goals & Objectives
|
During his exaltation Bodhisattva of the Masked Starfall saw an astounding prophecy about his own future while within the Orary of Rathess. Starfall predicted that he would be the one who brought about the end of creation, that he would be the one who cut through the loom of fate and brought ruin to it all. He was not sure when and he was not sure how, but even after most of his fellow Sidereals told him that such a prediction was not possible he felt the truth. He felt as though the Maiden of Endings herself had shown him the vision, that she had visited him in the ruins of that once great city; and he thought how fitting it was that the ruins of the first age were the thing that now showed him the end of this age. The end of the age of men, just as the Ursuperation brought about the end of the Dragon Kings, and how the Primoridial War brought about an end to the Primodials.
For a long while Starfall was excited about his prophecy, he was anxsious to prove to everyone that he was right and that they had wrongly doubted him. He wanted to prove himself, just as a son wants to prove himself to his father. As time passed however he soon found that there was only one person who believed in his prophecy, his master Brilliant Tsunami, who saw things much differently than he. She advised him to meditate on the prophecy, to open his eyes and look at the meaning of the prophecy instead of the result. It was sometime into his meditation before he had any notion of what she meant, but then it came to him as quickly as exaltation. He was destined to destroy the world, when fate came to its conclusion.
There were many questions that needed asked, and very few answers to be found. So now he has begun his quest not to fulfill his destiny, but first to understand it.
Conventions & Factions
Bodhisattva of the Masked Starfall was chosen by the Maiden of Endings and he has fully embraced his duty to her, his loyalty to the Division of Endings has been without question since his exaltation. Afterall he had embraced his prophecy which would be the ultimate ending, upon his exaltation. The years have passed since that time and he has begun to wonder if such a thing could benefit anyone or anything, certainly nothing with a good intention. Was the future of the world so bleak and was it to be him that ushered the bleak future into being? Though he often questioned his own prophecy he almost never did the same to the directions of his Division. Primarily he has been assigned to see that the 'natural disasters' of the south ended what they needed to for creation to continue to function properly. Sometimes the many efforts of mortals to better themselves are only inviting the unleashing of a much greater tragedy, and so it is that villages must be destroyed, important people killed, and certain ideas snuffed out. These duties fell to the chosen of Endings, and Starfall did his job well.
Bodhisattva of the Masked Starfall was born in the south and he pocessed a specific knowledge of it that the conventions saw no reason to waste by sending him to another directional convention. He has no great ties to any individuals there that would directly interfere with his duties, and so it is that he has never really left the south, and though he traveled to its out edges oppurtunities to go beyond have yet to present themselves.
The Convention on Natural Diasters is easily the convention that Starfall does the most work for as it ties directly into many of his duties for the Division of Endings. The overlap of duties, combined with his quickly formed perssonal connections in both the Bureau of Seasons and the Bureau of Nature have made him a very promising member of the convention, especially since many Sidereals do not think of this convention as having much prestige or importance.
Bodhisattva of the Masked Starfall is not the loyalist member of the Gold Faction, nor is he a particuraly long standing member. He spent the first several years of his exalted life as stubbornly independent despite some recruitment attempts by both factions. Eventually he began to see that everything was not as plain and simple as he had hoped it would become and that the added wisdom of the factions had much to offer, even besides the ability for advancement. With his Sifu's standing within the Gold Faction it was a relatively simple choice for him to pick a faction, and an even more simple process to join it. While he is still more weary of the Sun's Chosen than most Gold Faction members, his membership has over time begun to show him the incorrectable faults in the ideaology of the Bronze Faction. Combined with a new insight into the alsmot infinite potnetial of the solar exalted, he has grown increasingly more fond of his membership to the faction. His work for them is still scarce as he has no defined duties for the faction, besides spending what time he can spare to benefit it. He spent the begining of his membership performing several small and inconsequential missions along with guest teaching at Kether Rock on occasion, it seemed that the Gold Faction was waiting for him to prove his loyalty or to carve out his own niche. Eventually he did just that and the faction found what he was most suited for, cleaning up a mess. He has not offical duties to the faction that he must perform, and if pressed for his job title the only suitable response would be something vauge such as 'fixer'. But when things go off the beaten path, when even the greatest viziers of the Gold Faction are suprised, or when things simply need to be 'taken care of' he gets a familiar message and he knows that it is time for him to do his part.

“When the sky is rent asunder, when the stars scatter and the oceans roll together, when the graves are hurled about, each soul shall know what it has done and what it has failed to do.”
