About

My name is Angela and I'm a professional artist working in the Atlanta, GA area.  It was only a couple of years ago back in 2014 when my friend decided to suck me into a tabletop game he wanted to run.  Having not played a White Wolf game since high school, I figured why not give it a go?  I had a blast with Vampire the Masquerade back when I first played!

Needless to say, I've been sucked in ever since!

The very first sketch of Kalara created a few minutes after I finished her first character sheet.

Kalara Vadras was created when I thought of that moment of greatness, that grand aspiration that might catch the attention of the Unconquered Sun.  In my mind, I saw a scene of a saintly figure, a failed reformer in the throes of martyrdom.  All hope was lost, except for one last chance, one last awakening to power that would allow her to change the world for good...or ill. This was the image that bore this character into existence.  

At the time, I asked my ST if this was 'too gaudy' and he smiled and said 'no'.  Having played Exalted for longer now, I realize why he smiled at that question.  This setting is the stuff of godlike power and epic level ambition.  Nothing will ever be too gaudy, though I've chosen a rather more subtle tone for this character's story.

The concept of Solars, the Chosen of the Unconquered Sun, intrigued me from the beginning.  What would mortals do with godlike power?  What would they do if they suddenly had the power to change the very foundations of the world?

Would they forget the hatred, love, and fear that drove their mortal ambitions?

Those are the kinds of small and big questions that compelled me to write Kalara's story!

Enjoy my tireless ramblings.  Perhaps we can make something great out of them?

PS.

If you're reading this, Brian, thanks for the inspiration!  I owe this story to your proddings to get gaming again.  Little did I know it would get me writing again, as well!  Who knows where this journey of creation might lead?
