The first section is basically my take on Exalted. Right now I'm just copying up my notes so everything's very raw while I put down my ideas. I'll work on editing everything and making it more coherent later. As a result things will contradict the in game canon and even be self contradictory especially since not all my notes are copied in chronological order. They've been typed up without editing to remain as close as possible to my original vision.

The Animals That Grow In Five Places

Terrestrial Exalted are Aspected after the animals that live in one of the five Elements. All Dragon-blooded have a totem creature that embodies one of the aspects of the Dragon they are descended from. When they start to spend peripheral Essence their anima, their totem creature, starts to manifest.
Maybe being locked into beastman form is the effect of Lunars manifeesting their anima as exhibition of their powers reveals their true form. Their Spirit Shape is what they really are. Maybe they always are their Spirit Shape and what they appear to be is just an illusion. Their Spirit Shape is the shape of their spirit, their Essence.
