I'm currently working on the (completely wacky) idea of a newly Exalted, and subsequently Casteless, Lunar who was born in the city of Mahalanka (or Sperimin) but was spirited away by his parents rather than being eaten by Raksi and who essentially got raised by Great Apes and Emerald Monkeys in a giant [s]rip-off of[/s] homage to Journey to the West.

Alternatively, I could opt into being a Dragon-Blood or something marginally less zany. :gray
