And thus, we arrive at the first appearance of another of my characters. This is Callista, a faeblooded Solar Exalted sorcerer and martial artist. I made her for me and my friend group's first attempt at Exalted; we ran into system issues and tried several times to get games going, but never managed to keep a campaign running for long. She only served as a player character in the first game, but I used her as an NPC in the following attempts where I was running things.

Callista is noteworthy, though, because when I was creating her, I ended up getting designs from two different artists, due to delays one of them was having. Because of this, I decided to turn her into a bit of an experiment, giving artists the same text description (with a few example images for setting context), but not showing them any previous pictures of her, in order to get their own unique interpretations of her. It's been fun doing so, and by the time of my posting this, I've got over 60 designs of her.
