I first posted this in Plots, Place & Rogues! but I figured it's just as appropriate here, since the focus is really on the rules, rather than the character's... well, character.
Snow Raven is rather more combative than a typical Eclipse, but then, the Chosen of the Unconquered Sun are by definition anything but typical. He appears as a slight but fit man in his early twenties, with dark eyes and midnight-black hair streaked with a few strands of silver at his temples. His dress is unassuming, but he projects an air of tremendous confidence. At his back is a bastard sword with a single white feather instead of a tassel.
If he were really an Exalted character, this would be Snow Raven's combos:
Whirling Talon: With an intricate flourish, the man sends his blade whirling through the air, cutting down enemies, before returning to his hand. Standard action, +20 melee attack, 1d10+16 damage to everything in a 60 ft. line. (whirling blade + Divine Might)
Deadly Snowflake Draws the Eye: His humming sword outstreched in one hand, the man starts spining and singing, the forms of his dance suggesting a snowflake observed from up close, an illusion so compelling that you feel an overwhelming urge to just stand and watch the pattern. As a swift action, gain the following: +25 melee attack, 1d10+16 damage +3 sonic, must move 10 ft. before attacking. +1 morale to attack and damage and saves vs. fear and charm to allies. On the second and subsequent rounds of the dance, opponent hit must make a DC 18 Will save or be dazed for 1 round. Lasts 5 rounds. (Divine Might + Snowlake Wardance + slippers of battledancing + bladeweave)
Emerald Raven Rush: Sword held in both hands, the man charges, leaving clear greenish motes in his wake. With a mighty overhead swing, he brings down his sword in an arc of green light. The blow strikes with impossible force for someone of that stature, cutting through shield and armour, sinew and bone. Full-round action, charge 80 ft. and attack evil opponent, +15 melee touch attack, 2d10+100 damage. (smiting charge + rhino's rush + smite + emerald razor + Power Attack + Divine Might) Alternately charge up to 120 ft., even over water, chasms or thin air and lands safely afterwards, but in that case, deal only 1d8+50 damage. (smiting charge + smite + emerald razor + Power Attack + swift fly + feather fall)
