Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Odyssey is a Spacebattles quest thread created and told in the second person by Rihaku, set in the Exalted world, dubbed Creation. The story-only thread can be viewed here, while the former link is used to vote on a course of action for the protagonist. Decisions are made in a semi-democratic fashion, but the GM may choose to grant greater weight to elaborate and well-articulated arguments.The following is taken from the introductory post of the quest:You are Ulyssian, born to House Sesus of the Dynasty. As a citizen of the Realm, you've been taught from birth to idolize and aspire to its heroes: the Exalted of the Immaculate Dragons. Princes of the Earth and capable of superhuman feats, they hold every privilege and position of significance - social, spiritual, or military. Many children dream of Exaltation, but the Dragon-Blooded are not made, they are born. The overwhelming majority of Dragon-Blooded Exalt before the age of seventeen.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })As you approach your nineteenth year, it became increasingly clear that you were not an Exalt born. Though you are doomed to mere humanity, however, you have not resigned yourself to mediocrity. With the reinstatement of Headmaster Zao, the Imperial Naval Academy has returned to his unusual merits-only entry exam. For the first time in many decades, there is the possibility of a fully-commissioned mortal officer. Of course, the inherent skill of the Dragon-Blooded has always meant that such an exam was no barrier to a full class of Exalts. Who ever heard of a mortal commanding a Prince of the Earth?No one, until you arrived. Somehow, you managed to attain a score in the top ten percentile of a field composed entirely of Exalts. Somehow, you were accepted.Since your acceptance, you've arrived at the Naval Academy and were placed, among with four others, under the coveted supervision of Headmaster Zao himself. This is a position that has lead to no little jealousy and resentment from many of your classmates, especially given your status as a mere mortal. Nonetheless you have persevered, determined to prove to the Realm and yourself that though you are not Exalted, you are not their lesser.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })The Empress may have disappeared, but the power of her eleven Dynastic Houses has waxed if anything. As a Dynast, near-royalty, you were expected to Exalt early. Your cousins and friends certainly did, for all that they worked one-tenth your share. Every year you did not, your parents and mentors turned their attention ever-so-slightly away, until the age of your majority, when you were a Dynast in name only. Determined to prove yourself worthy of that name, you redoubled your efforts and redoubled them again. You were not handed your power. You were not born into it. Through hard work and excruciating practice, you will earn it. | |

Deal with the Devil | |
| The Odyssey (Fanfic) / int_1fc8335e | comment |
Deal with the Devil: Overlaps with Grey-and-Gray Morality. In preparation for the aftermath of the destruction of organized crime, Ulyssian calls in his Uncle Nagazzer, a known drug dealer and human trafficker, as well has the head of his own crime syndicate, to assume control afterwards. Though this does return Seacrown to criminal influence, he also extracts a promise from him that he'll tone down the rampancy of crime, has well has return some of the money made back to the community. | |

Combat Pragmatist: Ulyssian's preparations for his duel with Jael included, but weren't limited to: poisoning him with contact poison via his armor, breaking into his apartment to steal his money, then placing it in a trash chute to separate him from his twin (neutralizing his Gemini bloodline), and hiring a sorcerer to summon demons to ambush him. | |

Vicious Cycle: The oppressed servitors of the old regime rebel against the tyranny of their purported superiors, throwing Creation into chaos, and inevitably lessening it in the process. First the Solar Exalted against the Primordials, then the Dragon-Blooded against the Solars. Where does it end? | |

Curbstomp Battle: Due to an insane spree of luck during his battle with the former Immaculate Monk Beman, Ulyssian manages to leave not only victorious, but uninjured. Beman, on the other hand, left with a gash running across his chest and missing an arm. Played straight once again later in the story, but with Ulyssian on the receiving end. After going to great lengths to sabotage and weaken his opponent Jael, he still looses quite handily to him, to the point that he would have died in the first few seconds had Jael not shown restraint. | |
