Civilian Profile  Identity:Name: Andrew Bones Nickname: 'Drew' Age: 24 Birthday: January 15 2000 Sign: Capricorn Gemstone: Ruby Blood Type: B+ Fav. Food: Calamari Hated Food: Steak Alma Mater: Hillworth Occupation: Police Officer Hobbies:Egyptology - This secret interest goes back to the time that Drew and Dria, were taken to Egypt for vacation by their parents. Drew saw beautiful artistry in the Hieroglyphics, whereas Dria saw a code to decode. They agreed to attempt to write letters to each other in journals to learn the Hieroglyphics well. Drew still writes letters in Egyptian Hieroglyphics to her. Lately though, he has a new journal that has an Egyptian design, and a supposedly flawed Egyptian Eye on the front. It came with a special feather; both were bought in some junk store. Artistry - Whatever the medium, Drew loves to create things. His most beloved subject is how Dria would look today. Drew used to love to use the computer for graphic art, although he doesn't use the computer as much these days- he is really depressed. He once was an "Up and Coming Artist" for a magazine company based in California, - especially since he could pick any kind of art easily, even at the age of six; now, he just doesn't care. Most art tends to make him dwell on Dria. [update: no longer depressed] Stories and more - Drew likes to write short stories and more, mostly with mysterious endings and perhaps, a darkened hope, in that without the proof of an actual dead body to be found, there is always hope, even if most likely the person is gone forever. He does a lot of research for his writings and other stuff at the library at which he enters many contests with monetary prizes. He saves the money; he isn't giving up on Dria - his goal (as a mortal) is to find out exactly what happened to at least her body. Virtues:Analytical Mind - Drew remembers what he hears from others and what he sees and he hears to create a hazy bird's eye view of a situation. This isn't just putting together information - his mind analyzes it and fits info together like a puzzle. This is not something he controls, it just happens. Just two weeks before he before a Senshi; his parents were leaving the tiniest little clues that just begged to be solved - until he found out that he was going to Hillworth; in a very special class. He usually doesn't really realize that he's doing it, until it is done. Perhaps, if he learns strategy and tactics, he may be very useful in the war, if he can also get over his problems. Reliable - Drew will do anything he can to honor any agreement that he has made. His word is his bond. He will drag himself out of bed at any time just to be reliable to everyone, even if he is an inch from death. If he has to buy soda while fighting a Negaverse Lieutenant, because he promised to bring some to a party, that he's now going to be late to, so be it. One reason that he does this, that he believes that it will teach others honor. Wisdom - Although not the happiest wise one, Drew knows a few wise secrets. Such as; Anytime you give up fighting, you've already lost, as long as you keep fighting, you still have a chance of winning. Or that even putting off making a decision, is still a decision, and all decisions have consequences. This wisdom may one day help make him a leader among the Sailor Scouts or in School... Flaws:Self-sacrificing - Drew will do anything he can to honor any agreement that he has made, even if it is to an agent of the Negaverse. He has a very deep sense of honor, once he's said that he's going to do something, even to one without honor, he will do it. He is ready at anytime to throw himself in for someone not of the Negaverse, however, he will never knowingly put anyone else in danger. This may seem a virtue, however, this can put him in deadly danger. Like the time he promised to protect Dria's teddy bear while she went to the restroom. Some stranger bumped into him rather roughly at the train station, and accidently knocked the bear on the tracks. An express train was coming in. Drew and Dria were seven. Drew just barely escaped unscathed, and the bear was fine. Dria was happy, but their parents were furious, and it was all over the news. They had to move. Drew notices that they move a lot because of him. Zoning Out[ - Drew has a habit of zoning out at the worse possible times. In school, when the teachers are teaching the most important part of the lesson, and when people are talking to him. This is because often, he is thinking about the plane crash and trying to remember the one key memory that might help him figure out what happened to his sister. Unfortunately, he zones out at times that could be crucial to his homework (might be part of the reason his grades are bad), or when his parents are leaving a message to him. Yeah, teachers and parents can get very upset with this. Extremely Emotional - Drew has done the traditional gothic style stuff, including dying his hair black, wearing black clothes and black make-up, in his grief for his lost twin. He apparently still has some humor left, as he tried to wear a black veil to school, which his parents put a resounding no to, and he revealing he was joking. However, most things are no longer fun and games for him. His sister, to him maybe lost forever in the deep blue sea, or could still be alive, somewhere. He hurts in his heart, knowing wherever she is, he could not help her, and if she is still alive, he still can't. This often enrages him, and he lashes at anyone and anything around him. [update: His sister is back, but his emotions still run deep because fate is cruel] PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:Eyes: Jade, Almond Hair: Shaved Bald Face: Heart shaped, light freckling, reg. ears, a small faded scar across the right temple from a plane crash years ago. 3 faded uneven black teardrop tattoos under left eye. Skin: Olive colored Body Type: Tall, Muscular

Dear Therapeutic Journal,
I don't have a lot to say to you. The stupid therapist that my parents hired to 'fix' me says for me to write in you everyday. Just about anything. Any thoughts, feelings, emotions, events in the day. Like that will do anything to help me. What's wrong with me anyway? Sure, I no longer enjoy the bright happy arts that I used to. Sure I've taken to writing dark tales of mystery endings. So what? I'm growing up. Who cares that I changed my looks? Maybe I've gone Goth a little too early. So what? Okay, I've engaged in some dangerous behaviors. Maybe trying to tattoo my own face at age eleven was a step too far. But why would writing in a freakin' journal help? Or going to a special class at a military type school? Oh the black veil? That was just a joke - it was definitely going too far; I was never serious about that. But some of the black make-up? Some of that was to cover out that ugly scar on my forehead, that still hurts real bad. Stupid journal. Writing in you just makes me want to go on and on, about just about anything and not shut up. Why can't you be a drawing journal. But no. Horrible Shrink wants me to write. Anything. Just not stories. She says I've written enough stories for her to analyze. There's nothing wrong with me. I'm just grieving. Yeah it was 3 years ago, but she was close. I just can't forget her, she could still be out there. So I repeat. There is nothing wrong with me! Nothing! Nothing!
Ugh! Take a deep breath, Drew. Calm down. Whatever the problem is, if there is one, writing just might help take the pressure off. I guess I have been stressed lately. First, we move Again. Then I find out I'm going to a military school for boys. And at this point, Mom and Dad won't even speak of her. Won't even acknowledge that she ever even existed, at least around me. And yet I can't stop thinking about her. Her face is always in front of me. I am always remembering as she was always enjoying her projects of cracking tough codes. And she is gone, but is she dead? We don't know. Will we ever know? Will I ever see her again? I will lead a miserable life if I don't. We liked different things, however, sometimes they came together. Like Hierographics, a code for her to decode, an art for me to learn. Argh! My head.
I guess this Journal might be a good idea. Once in a while maybe. But for now I need to lay down, my head hurts, badly.

B-Awakening - First Battle
Chapter 1
By Sailor Hawk
Co-Authored By
Saint Sergio
Drew stepped out of his room, with black paint on his face. It somewhat mirrored the hideously awful tattoo he had given himself 3 years ago. Yes, he had given himself a tattoo at eleven years of age, and his parents had been furious, and social services had all but taken him from the home. Oh and yes he just painted his entire room black - including ceiling and floor, without permission, while his parents were at a conference in the next town over. By the time they got home, the paint would be dry and they would be furious again. Aw well, they probably wouldn't be too hard on him. They were hurting too.
He decided to go get the newspaper, it was just outside on the driveway and he could see what this town was about.
It was fairly early for Rose. With it being summer vacation one would think all the school kids would end up sleeping in early, but not her. She had to get to the last leg of her internship at the science museum and hopefully find herself an actual job there. She loved it because she could fulfill her passion of all things space related. It was one of the rare places she could completely geek out and forget about her powered side of life and not get stared at for it.
However, she had time to kill so she was riding her bike through the neighborhoods on her way to work. Yumi was in the basket with her, just excitedly looking around. The cat hadn't left her side in some time, and honestly? She couldn't blame her. Recently she'd gotten upgraded to Super and with that came a whole new level of enemies, apparently.
Just as she turned the corner to a road where she saw a boy leaving his house, she picked up on a youma energy. Yumi's fur bristled at the same time, so Rose knew she wasn't just feeling things.
"Rose..." Yumi warned, voice a whispered hissing.
"I feel it, Yumi. I know." She slowed down on the bike and then dodged herself behind a house to transform.
However, in that time, a youma emerged from the shadow of the house across the way and spotted some kid.
Food. Energy. Need to feed. It was a basic youma who's shape wasn't solid enough to be called an animal. Still, to a human, it would be frightening.
Drew heard something behind him, as he stooped to pick up the newspaper. When he turned to look there seemed to be some kind of strange ghost thing creeping up on him. "Um, maybe I should see the psychiatrist after all." He mumbled as hacked up in fear. "I've really lost it this time." He glanced at the upstairs window, that happened to connect to his newly painted room. "Or maybe, I've just done so many bad things, it's catching up to me. Um does anyone else see this?!?" He started to panic.
As he started screaming about, Kepler rounded the corner, looking at him and scoffing. "Get back!" The youma was approaching him, considering he was drawing attention to himself. This really wasn't going to be an easy fight, was it?
She ran before him, transparent ribbons of her bow fluttering around as she held her arms out wide. "Stay behind me, kid!"
Yumi literally skidded to a stop in front of Kepler, fur bristling, growling and hissing at the youma, trying to intimidate it. "Back up you goopy pile of poop!" No one ever said Yumi was eloquent at all. "How did we get an undeveloped one? Kepler, this is basically a poop monster! Be careful!" It didn't have the stench, but it was pretty much a complete goopy mess heading straight for them still.
Kepler ran straight ahead, making sure she didn't end up kicking her cat and just kicked the youma instead, sending it flying to the side. "If he's not moving, just watch him, Yumi!"
Drew looked at the talking cat and the girl in the strange outfit, having stopped screaming. He asked the girl once, for that would be all that he needed. "Is this real?"
The poopy sludge thing somehow threw a handful of poop stuff up in the air, that flew up and over the girl's head, and down towards Drew. It just barely missed him. "What is going here?" He asked, calm now.
Kepler ignored his question for the moment, focusing on the youma before her and hissed when the goop landed near him. Her lilac eyes narrowed on him and then she just rushed the youma suddenly, darting forward, then to the side, kicking it hard and sending it skidding about a foot back before it recomposed itself.
Yumi stayed with Drew, fluffed up and growling because some of that disgusting goop landed on her fur. That was going to take forever to get out! (or at least until the youma was dust) "Look, kid!" She said, looking at Drew. "You need to either run for cover, or just walk away! This is not a safe-- KEPLER!" She had looked back just in time to see Kepler deliver another kick, but the youma wrapped the goopy liquid of it's body around her leg, sending her to the ground. "It's sucking her in!"
"No, I want to fight! I want to help!" He concerned. She was trying to save him. He did not want to lose another, even he did not know her that well. Even if she was not of this world and had special powers. This would be because of him. He wanted to stop this, to save her. "How can I help?" He stubburnly asked, as he watched as everytime she attacked, she got sucked in. The cat had said she was having trouble fighting it anyways. Couldn't he do something.
The boy as he declared he wanted to help. Then she saw a flash of something around him, something familiar and grinned. "Well it's your lucky day."
Hopping back a couple of steps, she concentrated and made a henshin pen appear in front of her. With a little clatter, it landed on the ground and she kicked it over to him. "Take this pen and say Etamin Power, Make Up!"
Meanwhile Kepler punched at the goopy youma only to have one of her hands caught. "YUMI. A little help here would be fan-freaking-tastick!" She couldn't do much of anything now. She needed both hands for her magic and wasn't sure what good it would do with a youma like this. It wasn't even fully formed!
Drew stared for a moment, then grinned. "Ok." He grabbed the pen, held it up in the air and then yelled, "Etamin Power, Make Up!" Nothing happened for a minute. "Huh- " And suddenly he was blasted with power!
Sailor Etamin stood there gawking for a minute. "I have the strangest feeling that I'm Egyptian..."
He snapped to attention. "I will defeat you today, youma, in the Etamin way!"
Muttering, "Um I'm not even sure what that means," he turned to Yumi and said, "So, somehow I'm all about Heiroglyphics, how does that help?"
Yumi nearly rolled her eyes but refrained from it. They all had the same reaction, only... His was slightly more obvious, and then stating it. "Ah, it does. Now. Focus on the youma and blast him with your magic! Quickly!"
The cat raced forward and lept, claws flashing, swiping the youma only to get hit with one of it's 'arms' and get sent flying. With a yelp, she landed on her side and groaned. Yeah, that was dumb. "Etamin, do it now!"
"Hey!" Kepler struggled more, getting super pissy with the youma for hurting her cat. "Focus within you! The words will come! Just do something!" She was slowly getting sucked in, both arms now disappeared, her front half sinking. This was the grossest thing in the world.
Etamin looked at Yumi and Kepler hard. Then understanding that he needed to focus, he concentrated on the Youma, and suddenly understanding came to him. He took a step forward and attacked.
Sailor Scout Attack: Pharaoh's Curse
-Directions: Write Curse in Hieroglyphics in air (appear in air). In English reads,
"Blind as Pharaoh,
In death, you will be,
Until count of thirty,
Cause you would not listen to me."
-Effects: Blinds enemy for 20 seconds
-Uses: 3
The youma screamed in fury as it could not see. He pulled the tarp that was hanging down from his bedroom window, (having just painted his room) and threw it over the glop.
With the youma blinded, it let go of Kepler and she jumped back and made a gagging noise at the fact the goop was still everywhere. It kind of stung her skin, and left it a bit red, but ultimately she was unharmed. She would have suffocated had her head gone in.
"Thanks for your help, Sailor Etamin," the Super said, stepping forward. "Time to turn him to dust!" She launched her attack, a fury of kicks and punches that threw the enemy around. Finally, when it was weak. The attacks also drove the youma towards Yumi, where she was standing ready.
"Do your attack one more time, if you can, Etamin, and then Yumi will finish it off!"
Yumi nodded, understanding the orders and braced herself, waiting for the signal.
Etamin was happy for the first time in ages, he was needed. He called his curse again.

The youma screeched again, it's sight taken.
With Etamin blinding the youma, Kepler gave it a last kick into position and looked at Yumi. "NOW! It's really weak!"
The cat nodded and released the beam she'd been saving up right onto the youma. After a few seconds, the youma screamed in even more pain and exploded into dust. Just as Yumi was about to sway sideways, she was being scooped up by a giggling Kepler who planted kisses all over her face. "Another one bites the dust!"
"Really, Yumi? Really?" Kepler sighed and rolled her eyes before wandering toward the new male senshi. She held out her hand and gave a big grin. "Super Sailor Kepler, senshi of words, at your service, Etamin." She beamed at him, all puffed up and proud like a mama bird. "You really lucked out and helped out a lot today. Normally, I would stay and do a Q&A, but I've really got to jet. Yumi, give him a phone right fast? I've got somewhere to be pretty soon or else I'm never going to hear the end of it." She looked to her cat and kissed Yumi's head as the cat nodded.
"One moment." With that, Yumi once more concentrated and produced a senshi phone from subspace. Kepler scooped it up and hummed loudly as she took her own picture, which put in her contact information for her senshi side.
"Now that you have this," Kepler said after a minute, handing it to him. "You can get a hold of me with all of the questions I'm sure you have." She took out her own phone and snapped Etamin's picture. "So, again, I hate to save you and dash, but if I'm late, ugh. So much trouble..." She clicked her tongue and bit down on her lip.
Sailor Etamin shook her hand and thanked her. "Words, hmm that makes us similar - Hieroglyphics can be letters or words. I hope to see you both again." He said as they seemed to be leaving. Yumi seemed to pull the phone out of nowhere. It looked awesome. He grinned. "Thanks." He put it in his pocket as he powered down. A beeper beeped. He pulled it out. "Hey, my parents are just around the corner - oh no." His face drained of color - "I just painted my room, including ceiling and floor, black; without permission; on purpose - to do this mission, do I have to stay of trouble?"
Kepler gave him a bit of a helpless look and shrugged. "I'll see you around!" With a laugh, the girl and the Guardian Cat bounded away, toward the direction she'd come.
Etamin might be new, but Kepler had a feeling he was going to be a very reliable and powerful senshi.

Dear New Egyptian Journal,
No one would believe me about what happened today, even if I were to decide to tell them. I can't and I won't. I will write it here and only here. I got Awakened! Ok that doesn't mean anything to anybody except those fighting the war - the war to save or destroy Earth. I am Awakened as Sailor Etamin of Heiroglyphics. I guess I need to break that down a bit. Apparently, I had a past life on another planet. Awakening, just means that the seal on my past life memories has been weakened and I can access some of my past life memories and powers (very few of them, in fact). I am a Sailor Guardian, a Sailor Suited Warrior that fights to protect the innocent . Only one person per homeworld is chosen and is named after their homeworld. I am Sailor Etamin, therefore I am the Sailor Scout chosen from the homeworld of Etamin. All I know of that world, the little that I seem to remember is that it was somehow Egyptian. My sphere (or theme) is Hieroglyphics. With Hieroglyphics, I cast a curse of temporary blindness on the enemy. I also have to fight normally to defeat the enemy. Today's enemy was tough by my standards, as even the three of us, Super Sailor Kepler, Yumi, the cat, and myself, had trouble fighting this barely formed 'youma' a demon-type servant of the enemy that was basically a pile of glop. Apparently, there are higher levels on each side. Super Sailor Kepler - that must mean that she is a higher level scout than I. Hmm , she and Yumi didn't have time to chat and answer questions, she and Yumi had to leave quickly. I wonder what the other levels are? And how does Yumi talk? Is she an Alien? I guess we all are. Well , that is it for now.
Drew Bones, AKA Sailor Etamin
PS Mom and Dad were Peed off about me paintting my entire room black, like I thought they would be. I looked them straight in the eye, I said yes, sir, and yes ma'am. I took my punishment chore list without a word. They were concerned that I was sick, and thought that I had a fever. I replied, "Mom, I don't have a fever, I just have come to realize that you two care about me. We've already lost a member of this family." At this they flinched. "You don't need to lose a second. As for me, I'm wasting all this energy grieving, when she might still be alive. Grieving won't help you find her. Getting a good Education and being reliable to you, will be. So I will take my punishment chores and perform them to my best ability." They exchanged looks and then were silent. I think that they are relieved.
Chapter 2
By Sailor Hawk and chi Honda
Drew may have been Awakened as a Sailor Scout of the side of Order, just the other day, but he had to do this. He had to do this to heal, to finally say goodbye to her, so that he could focus on himself for the road ahead and the world for the mission ahead. If that mean that he had to sneak out of the house one last time and jump a graveyard's fence, in the middle of the night, without it being Order Business, so be it. Yes he was a 'troublemaker' (he pledged to do right as an Order Scout, though he was still trying to get out of his troublemaker state, a state he had assumed upon grieving for his missing twin), but this wasn't to further his troublemaker state, rather to help him end that.
He lay quietly in his bed, waiting for his parents to quit waiting for him to sneak out. He pretended to be asleep as they checked on him, and closed the door, as their muffled speech and footsteps softly went down the hall, into their bedrooms and he heard their door close. He waited for their muffled tones to silence, and the fake snores and then change to real snores. He even waited a little longer just to be safe.
Finally he looked at the clock. It read 12:30 am. As quietly as he could, he pushed back the covers. He was already dressed for cool weather and painting. He grabbed his pack, in which he already had bought and packed new paints, brushes, palletes, and a easel. He climbed out the window and on to the ladder (which earlier this day, he had just so conviently left out and next to his window, while cleaning out the roof gutter (punishment chore for painting his room black last week without permission)). Without a sound he climbed down and then set the ladder on it's side, so as not to leave clues.
He walked down the street to the graveyard without attracting too much attention, and then when no one was looking, he jumpped the fence. He followed the trail he had made earlier to the perfect clearing, and there he set up his mini studio - to paint the stars.
Demetrius was just finishing up studying in his dorm room. His schedule lately felt like nothing but classes. Now he loved school its just ever since becoming a sailor for the order he felt he needed to do more. More than study books and listen to his teachers speak.
His feet were placed up on the bed of his bed and his head on his pillow.
As he read the line "The Microbiology examination measures knowledge and understanding of bacteria, algae, fungi..." he slowly closed his Microbiology book and set it down on the ground. He couldn't take anymore not now. School was just not what he needed. He needed to do something.
So with that he rolled over and up. He grabbed his tennis shoes, threw them on his feet, and then reached for his running bag. What he needed right now more than anything was to clear his head and they only way he was doing that was going to take a run to see the stars.
So he opened his dorm door and exited his dorm. He began to run on the sidewalk, as he looked around him for a good clearing to see the stars at.
Drew sat down and watched the sky, waiting for the right moment, for the right inspiration, to paint. As he did, he allowed the full memories of Dria to come flooding back. Her full name was Xandria Nicole Bones. But niether of them could pronouce Xandria when they were younger (though they did love it) so it become Dria. The same with his name.
From the first time Dria looked at the stars and understood that there might be other worlds out there, she wanted to go out there. She wanted to meet people from other worlds, learn about the all crazy wonderful things out there like quasars and nebulas, even black holes. She wanted to travel in space, and never stop learning. Drew could never understand it. There was a sound nearby in the trees.
Deme slowly walked off the path into the trees. For as he watched the sky, it looked as if the stars were easier seen without all the builds and trees. He loved the stars for they told tales of past, and were leading people into the future. Plus how many things could say they literally light up the night, for even if the moon weren't shining - the stars could always guide you. And who knew maybe they're actually places out there in the sky - with people just like him. He knew people would call him crazy for thinking that, so he kept to himself about that. He slowed down his running pace as he pushed branch after branch out of his way.
As he came through the trees he came into a great big green clearing. A place perfect for seeing the stars! The only thing he wasn't alone, as he looked around and noticed someone else had already beaten him to the perfect clearing.
As he slowly walked into the grass he spoke, "Hi there. Out to see the stars too?" A smile appeared ever so slightly on his face.
Drew looked alarmed. A college student (apparently) had appeared and had found in the middle of the night in the graveyard, and he could be in trouble since he happened to only be fourteen. He started scrambling for his art supplies.
The stranger had asked if he was here to see the stars. "Yeah. Yeah I was. They, they were her favorite .." He was visibly shaken especially when he said she. He dropped the things in his hands, tried to pick them up and only made things worse. Finally, he stopped, and looked down at the ground. He had never let himself feel the full amount of the grief before - just anger and rage and a little bit of humor, now for some reason it hit here full force, a tear slid down his face to start. He pushed a stride of hair out of his face; normally he kept it back in a 6-inch braid, but tonight it fell to a few inch about the middle of his back.
Deme realized as he saw the other guy look alarmed, and start crying. He quickly wondered if it was something he said. Though then he listened as he said she. She... A old girlfriend, a pet, a close friend, or a family member perhaps? Though who ever it was, he knew he was at fault at least a little bit and he intended to help as much as he could.
"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to upset you." With that he raced over to him and started to pick up all of the stuff he had dropped. One by one he made it so everything was in as neat as a spot as he could. Then he reached in his running sack and pulled out a handkerchief and handed it towards the younger boy.
"I'm sorry for shaking you up. I only asked because I love the stars I came out here to see them and escape life for a bit." with that he smiled as kindly as he could. Since he understood about being upset especially when he was younger and was bullied about things others wouldn't always understand. He refused to be that person to just stand by, he wanted to help as much as he possibly could. "Oh and I'm Demetrius though you can call me Deme."
Drew took the handkerchief from Deme and wiped his tears. He walked over a stump and sat dowm. "I'm Drew, and it's not you." He sighed. He was in full composure now. "I am an artist. I used to do wonderful arts like I was going to do tonight - paint a picture of the stars - all the time. And then it happened."
He sighed again. "Dria. Dria loved the stars - loved everything about them, wanted to learn more and more about them. I just wanted to paint them." He sighed a third time. He knew Deme had no idea who Dria was.
Deme smiled as he took the handkerchief. He was happy he wasn't pushing him away, like others in the past had done. Since he truly only wanted to help as much as he could. After that he took a seat there on the ground next to him with his knees up and his arms around his legs just listening to Drew. Since he knew behind those tears there was a story, he knew all to well there was always a story.
He nodded his head as he listened to every word Drew spoke. So the person before him was a painter of the stars. Deme always admired people who could draw - let alone paint the sky, since those were honestly the one who also helped map the sky. Mapped it for exploration and study, and the funny part - half of them didn't even know they were doing it.
As he spoke about his art he heard it, 'then it happened' which right there he knew something and all he had to go off of was a name - Dria. A beautiful name, but just a name and one fact. She loved the stars like he did.
He waited until he finished his last word and gently spoke, "Well it's nice to meet you Drew. You know I was always envious of people who could paint the sky. It's such a talent, one I can't say I posses." With that he waited just a moment before taking a small breathe. He knew it may not be smart but to help he needed to know the problem. Just like a case that needed a basis in a court case. He just hoped it didn't sound to invasive. "Though if you don't mind me asking what happened to Dria? They sound like a wonderful person." he sounded as upbeat and kind as he possibly could. Since who knew what had happened to them, he hoped it was anything but that they were gone forever ever.
Drew sighed again. Some reason he felt like he could talk to Deme. "Xandria, was her full name, as mine is Andrew, however we couldn't say them when we were younger, so it became Drew and Dria. Dria, my identical twin sister." He stared at the stars and was silent.
Deme nodded, so family member it was. He was happy Drew was openning up to him a little bit. Since a little bit can go a long way, especially for resolving issues. He laughed a little at the name comment, "I can understand that, nobody says mine right so I had to shorten it." with that he waited before he said anything, "Though you both do have very nice names. Short or long version." With that he smiled and gazed at the stars with him.
As he looked he smiled "The sky really is full of wonders it tells a story we don't even know ourselves yet. Plus it's always there every night for all of us to see. " he said with a huge smile before he considered what he would say next.
He wasn't sure if he wanted to ask anymore questions or not after that statement. Though he really was liking talking to him and was a little curious to why his sister wouldn't be here with him. He couldn't say to much though since people asked him about his family, and he couldn't exactly tell you where they were. "So is it alright if I ask where your sister is now?" he asked kindly before adding, "It's okay if you don't know, since to be honest I don't know where my parents are. They kinda well disappeared when I was younger. Though I do know my dads a lawyer of some sort." He didn't mean to talk about himself very much but he figured he might as well share some too.
Since even if it wasn't the same situation, it wasn't fair if he knew so much about him and yet he was still like a stranger in history to Drew. Though he did have to say one thing the more they talked, the more beautiful the sky became. It seemed to light up with every word, like it was just wanting them to talk and open up. Maybe it had something to do with them, after all the stars always seemed to have a plan he knew nothing about.
Drew stared off into the past. "She vanished. Three years to the day. We went to Egypt on a family trip... On the way back, on the plane .. I sat next to her - fell asleep. When I woke up... there was an emergency landing. They never found a trace of her." He was quiet. He had stopped crying and he was empty. Deme listened and was sad for him. "Wow i'm sorry that happened to you after what sounds like a nice trip." Since he knew the pain of losing a family member. His was different his parents just vanished on him when he was younger, he was lucky he had the wonderful grandmother he did.
Though despite his own past he just wished he could comfort him somehow. Though was there truly any real way to comfort him. He sad there thinking as he reached in his bag and pulled out two orange Gatorade bottles. "Here drink this, you'll need to save your energy."
He smiled, took a sip of his own Gatorade, and spoke his idea."You know if your sister is anything like you I'm sure she is fine. You seem like a strong and tough person. Though you know maybe if you started painting the stars like you used to they might give you some sort of clue." he glanced over at the art supplies that were nearby. "I mean its worth a shot right?"
While he knew his plan might not work, he really did believe the stars held some sorta secret to them and who knows maybe his idea would work. By luck anyways.
"I mean the stars are sorta mysterious like that. They're always there to guide us in the night and watch over all of us. Though either way, if you'd like I'd love to try and help you figure out what happened to your sister. In any way I could."
"Yeah, Dria and I grew closer during that trip. I dunno, it was weird. But I've spent the last few years in a rage-depressed stage, and I've ended up in Hillsworth." He sighed. "Something happened the other day. Something I'd rather not talk about, and it totally turned me around. The reason, I came out here tonight - paint the stars for her, and say goodbye finally."
He took the gatorade and smiled weakly in return. "That might be a good idea. I don't know if it would work, but I am willing to try." By the power of Etamin, he could try.
He listened and understood how you could feel. Except when his parents disappeared he just got quiet. Though many times he felt really angry and almost depressed. "Well that's nice you grew closer to one another. Oh okay well if you don't want to talk about it. we don't have too." he wouldn't push. Though at the same time he knew things he couldn't talk about.
Things like him being a sailor scout.
"Well then you should get started on that painting. We'll both try to find your sister together. deal?" he smiled and held out his hand. No matter how it ended he wanted to help Drew and would use all of his power to do so. Since to him now he was his friend and age didn't matter. Friends were friends after all.
Drew did want to talk about it, however, he wasn't allowed to, it was that he had been awakened as a Sailor Scout.
He got up and started setting up his supplies again. He looked up again at the stars again saw two particular ones that almost seemed to be friends. One was his own star Etamin - the other, he did not know.
He pointed them out to Deme. "Hey Deme, I just found an inspiration for my painting. See those two stars? I get the feeling they're almost friends. That one there is Etamin - it is special to me. The other, I don't know who it is. I mean what it's name is. What do you think?"
Deme smiled. He was happy his new friend was taking a step forward since that is honestly the hardest part.
He looked to the sky and whispered thank you. For an escape from his dorm - his normal life. had turned into so much more. A night of wonder and the stars had seen it all.
As he looked to the sky he saw the two stars, and the second one reminded him of who he was at other times. It was the other side of him. The one that he held dear and the one that helped him be the person who could help people like Drew.
"Well I'm glad you did and oh wow its beautiful. As for the other star...hmm...I think it looks like an Osiris. Etamin and Osiris friends in the night. What do you think?" he said with a smile.
Drew smiled at his friend, and started painted. "Hmm, Osiris, from what I've learned in school, wasn't he an Egyptian God? Odd isn't it?" Drew wondered carelessly. "Etamin is an Egyptian world too -" He jerked to a stop; Etamin, his own world was lost to time, forgotten even to Egypt, only known to be a star and that was it - if he wasn't careful, he'd give himself away, even to a civilian. Deme watched as he started painting. He was actually really good. Especially for his age. As he heard the mention of Egyptian be nodded. Since they were both Egyptian and while it was odd he didn't even question it. Since they honestly matched the stars perfectly at least to him anyways.
"He definitely was. Osiris was the primary deity. In power, he was second only his father, Ra, and was the leader of the gods on earth." As he spoke his eyes lite up. He for some reason wasn't afraid at all of giving away who he was on other days. Since he had worked so hard hiding who he was he knew no one would ever find out. Though he loved Egypt even though he had never been, he hoped to go he hoped in his Sailor for even one day he could visit.
The painting changed from what Drew intended it to be, yet he could not help it, he was painting things he (Drew) had never seen. At the top there were a group of stars -Etamin and Osiris the brightest of course. Below that were symbols, some easier to see than most. Out in front were two; a set of scales next to some heiroglyphics (his own sphere), and near that, a blue flower, that looked like one from Egypt. There were some others. Underneath that were figures... a counsel. Underneath the Heiroglyphics, in Egyptian style clothing, was himself. Next to him, under the flower was Dria. And under the scales was none other than Deme.
Deme watched in awe as the painting was painted. It looked like a painting of the past yet at the same time maybe it was the future. Egypt seemed to be the main point of the entire drawing. That and the stars they were seeing before them. "Maybe this is a key to finding your sister..." he whispered under his breath lightly. He didn't mean to stir false hope or anything, though this painting had to mean something. It just had to!
As he laid down on the ground on his back, he pulled up his hood, and stared at the sky. His eyes slowly began to close and it wasn't long before they were completely shut. He couldn't help it, he was so exhausted, it had been a wondrous night.
For before his eyes shut completely he had one thought and one thought alone. This painting was the beginning of an adventure. Where it would he had no idea, though it seemed like he and Drew were intertwined in someway. Maybe tonight was destiny.
With that he drifted off to sleep.
7/??/15 (It's after midnight and I can't quite remember the date)
Dear Diary,
I know shouldn't have done it but I had to, and something wonderful came of it. Okay here it is. I snuck out tonight, or should I say last night, since it is after midnight. I planned it, yes. I had it planned yesterday when I cleaned out the roof gutters (a punishment chore for painting my entire room black without out permission, one chore of many), where I left the ladder out, next to my window. I had it planned actually last week, when I bought all new art supplies; paints, paintbrushs, palattes, easel, canvas and so forth; for it. I needed to do it. Dria loved the stars; I wanted to say goodbye to her by painting the stars for her. However, the stars had a different idea. They brought Deme, to me, a college student to me, as a friend. Somehow I remembered him. From lifetimes ago. We talked about the stars and about Dria, and the stars gave us a message - through my painting - we think it means that we will all be together one as Sailors. And oh yes. Deme and I know each other's Egyptian Names (or Star (or Sailor names). He knows me as Etamin. And I know him as Osiris. The Star of Justice. After painting, we sat back and watched the stars, till we fell asleep. We jerked awake and I realized Mom and Dad would flip if I wasn't there when they woke. Deme helped me get home quick and quiet, and said we would meet another day to discuss things. That was five minutes ago. I climbed the latter, and in through the window quietly. Instead of going straight to bed though, I came to my desk here, to write this. I have found 3 wonderful friends; Kepler, and Yumi. Demi is a Timeless Friend, and with their help, perhaps, I shall one day find her, Dria, my twin Sister. Xandria Bones. She is alive, somewhere. And together, we shall be Sailor Guardians together, whatever her sphere, whatever her planet, however long she has been gone at the point at which we are united again. Deme will be there, and hopefully Kepler and Yumi and other friends that we've made, and of course Mom and Dad, when we are not suited up, of course. And finally, as a family, we will be whole again! Gram and Granpa, will come down, and Granny too. Gramp though, might not make it. He is losing his battle to bone cancer. I feel we are finally one step closer to finding her, if he could just hold on just a little longer. He could at last have peace. We all would. Got to go to bed now. Can hear Mom and Dad getting up. Good night... or Good Morning.

Dear Diary,
So much has happened. I, as Sailor Etamin, attended two major events, and met new Sailor Friends. Well, first, I found myself following these bouncing puffs that seem to have been in the city for quite sometime, even longer than myself. They had come together as a massive group, and had flowed like a river up to a hilltop, where many citizens, Knights and Sailors followed them. Oh wait, I forgot to describe knights. When a Planet's Sailor Guardian rises to the Rank of Princess / Prince (I'll explain that too in a minute), it now has a theme and Wonders to protect and the Wonders have enough Magical Flowing through them now that the Planetary Crystal has been unlocked (will explain), that each of them needs a protecter; this protecter comes in the form of a Knight - or rather they start at the level of a Page which is the equivilant of a regular Sailor Scout, like myself. When I gain the next level I will be a Super Sailor Scout, whereas the Page would gain the level of a Squire. Third level for me is Eternal Sailor Scout, however the Squire would become a Knight. After that, they say it is very rare, but the final stages are Sailor Princess/Prince (where they are in command of their Planet and Planetary Crystal that has immense power) and a Royal Knight (which I really have no knowledge of. And of course there the enemies. which there several different sections; Dark Mirror Senshi (somehow they use mirrors, but the ranking I believe is the same as ours), Corrupted Senshi (I believe they were once good, however somehow Chaos was painfully pushed into their Starseeds), and the Negaverse, the original Evil. The Ranking are as such: Lieutenant, Captain, General, and General-King/General-Queen - The equivalents of ours. So back to the puff river. I met some new friends at the hilltop, Eternal Sailor Megrez of Eggs (hmm) and Sailor Sadachbia of Construction (another Egyptian - that is two like me). We discussed Homeworld travel and past lives. Then the puffs played hide and seek with us and gave prizes - I got a four sided dice and a puff ball around a stone - a good luck charm I guess. Then they threw seed packets at us. Megrez said that they were the seeds to the food they eat. Then the Puffs said goodbye and left Earth. I guess they will be back one day. It was a good time. The experiance was very bad. A squire in the park sent out a call for help. A general-queen was trying to corrupt him. A lot of us came to help, and a lot of negaverse came to help the general-queen. There was a major battle. I saw Osiris there, and met another friend - Falias. We fought another Youma and defeated it, in our area. Yet it was all in vain - the squire was corrupted. I am in deep sorrow for this.

Chapter Three
By Sailor Hawk and LP
Drew found the bookstore quite easily, after discovering it on his way to the library the other day. It was quite a comfortable place, as they had places just to sit and read. It also had a place to buy drinks (hot drinks mostly) and snacks to drink and eat while you read. And not just a bench or some elegant look-nice chairs. There were beanbag chairs and hanging chairs, anything to make the customer feel comfortable. However, today he was not here to feel comfortable; he had school books to buy and a personal book for research - about his sister. He opened the door and walked in.
Feliks sighed, he'd come to pick up some books for his sisters. Not that he really cared about a bookstore. He was carrying around his skateboard, and looking for the comic book section before trying to find the books they were begging him for.
He didn't mind, but he got tried of getting things for everyone in the family and why they couldn't do it he wasn't even sure. His eyes wondered the comic books before picking up the newest version of dead pool, and a few my little pony comics. He then wandered over to the kid's section when he heard a scream.
There was a pause, as he narrowed his eyes trying to figure out if that was a youma scream or not. A few more shrieks and screams. . . yup. That was a youma scream. "Why am I not surprised by this." He muttered dropping the books and heading out into the Alleyway to try and find a place to transform.
As Drew opened the door, he heard screams coming from inside. Including one particular scream, not of fear, but of evil. He let the door close, then backed behind some bushes. "Etamin Power Makeup! Transform!" He transformed into Sailor Etamin and jumped in through an open window. He landed on a bookshelf. There he waited for a chance, to see the youma and attack.
Victoria paused when he noticed someone else jump through a window? . . . . He stopped to look at it curiously, apparently that had been the way the youma gotten in since it was broken.
There was a sigh as the super senshi headed into the bookstore, waltzing in as people were running out. He hated powering up this early in the day. It was like an alcoholic who started drinking before five because 'it's five o'clock somewhere'.
The youma didn't take long to barrel after the senshi that had entered first. Victoria had picked his skateboard back up after transforming and had been holding it, however, he refused to break this board over the skull of a youma. It'd taken too long to save up for this one. "I swear you guys pick the worse of times." He threw a book at it instead. "Hey! pick on someone you're own power rank." He said a bit of his Russian accent creeping into his voice as he spoke.
Another Senshi, apparently more powerfully than himself, stepped of the crowd to fight the youma. He was carrying a skateboard and was talking to the youma in battlefield talk. "Well," Drew whispered to himself, "Now or never." He landed behind the youma, who was about to throw razor sharp books back at the more powerful Senshi. "Um hello. I'm Sailor Etamin, was in the neighborhood, thought I might be of some use to you."
Victoria paused looking at Etamin, ducking the books though getting caught on the shoulder and gave a hiss of pain as he headed back towards the youma. He hated actually fighting, this was stupid. He wrinkled his nose a bit.
"If you want to hit the thing that would be of great use." He said as he tried to kick at the youma. "Victoria, however, now's usually not the greatest time for introductions if something's trying to kill one of you, perhaps both." He pointed out.
"Please, tell me you have an attack that does damage." He added.
"Sorry." Drew knew he should have stayed focused as a book hit his gold scarab brooch. He dived out of the way of the next wave. "No, but I think it will still be useful." He called out his power:
Sailor Scout Attack: Pharaoh's Curse
-Directions: Write Curse in Hieroglyphics in air (appear in air). In English reads,
"Blind as Pharaoh,
In death, you will be,
Until count of thirty,
Cause you would not listen to me."
-Effects: Blinds enemy for 20 seconds
-Uses: 3
"You should attack quickly!" Drew yelled.
Victoria watched as the monster was bound, ". . . . Well it is something at least, better than mine . . ." He looked around he really didn't want to use his board and the chairs all seemed too soft why couldn't this place have normal chairs like normal libraries and bookstores?
"You're going to have to hit the thing too, I can't do it this alone. My attack's no use here." He said as he tried to swing at it again. He was never coming back to get books for his sisters they'd have to get them their-selves if they wanted them from here.
Man, this guy had to be joking. Alright, never mind. He grabbed the heavy books next to him (lucky for him, he was standing next to an entire Encyclopedia Britannica Collection), two or three at a time, and started throwing them. One took a pretty nasty smash against the youma's face.
Victoria had backed up by the time the books were getting thrown at the monster and heard one crunch into the monster's face the super senshi making a face.
The monster was thoroughly dazed it seemed and hopefully still trapped he started looking around for something more hefty that a good swing might cuase the monster to just dissipate. Actually, that would be preferable if it just took one more good swing because this one seemed fairly weak.
Victoria was looking around and spotted the ladder but it was on the otherside of the room, damn. OH WAIT! He grabbed the fire extinguisher which was fairly close to him and ran with as much force as he could muster and slammed it on the head with a sickingly sound of a crack, causing the youma to burst into dust.
"When you don't have offensive attacks, use the environment dude." Victoria said as he stood there covered in youma dust, "Seriously, sometimes it's you're best bet. After all, my attack only gives someone enough stamina to use another attack and since you had him bound. . . there wasn't a point in doing that again."
He leaned for a second on one of the bookshelves glancing around at the shop, well this was a mess books all over the floor. They had a few moments before the emergency crew showed up so they could linger for a second before getting out of dodge.
With the monster destroyed, Sailor Etamin took a breather and leaned on an upturned chair. The other Sailor, more powerful than himself, gave him some useful advice. "That's useful. And yeah, giving me another chance to bind him, well yeah - pointless. So who are you?" Etamin realized that they had only gotten through half the introductions. "Wait a minute, have I seen you before?" Etamin blinked his eyes.
Victoria nodded and looked around, oh there were sirens coming. "Super Sailor Victoria, Senshi of Glory." He replied and then he paused as the sirens were getting closer.
"Okay I gotta jet. I suggest you do the same and power down where they can't see you. Whatever you wanna do dude, don't matter to me. Just don't get caught by the po-po."
Victoria was headed out the window that Etamin had jumped in through, "Nawh I haven't seen you before. Nice to meet you though." He gave a wave before jumping out the window and running into the nearest alleyway to roof jump as far as he could before finding a safe place to power down.
Etamin watched him go. Super Sailor Victoria of Glory. Hmm. More Assessment on this was needed, but not now. He had to go. He followed Victoria out and transformed back in an old alley near by. He found another bookstore near a flower shop he had passed on the way to the Library last week and bought the books he needed.
9/19/15
Dear Diary,
I had another exciting adventure today. I went to the bookstore to get my books for school, as well as to get a book to help me search for Dria. The second I opened the door, I knew I wouldn't be getting the books at that bookstore. Why? People started screaming, that is why. There was a youma in there. A book youma throwing razor-sharp books. And another Sailor was already there; Super Sailor Victoria Glory. His power was to give another Sailor enough power for another attack, so basically, since my power is not exactly an attack, his was useless. I bound the youma. Then we threw heavy books at it, and Victoria grabbed a fire extinguisher and hit him with it. The youma turned to dust. We talked for a minute and then left.
So Super Sailors? Super Sailor Kelper. Super Sailor Victoria. I'm thinking that is the next rank up and more powerful. Glory. There must be all kinds of spheres. And the names? They come from the stars, basically. Hmm. Sadachbia and Megriz said that you could still travel to your homeworld, learn about your past life. I need to learn more on this. It might even help me find Dria. I need to contact them again. I'll bring Deme along if he is free. Maybe he knows stuff about this homeworld and past life too. Maybe we can discover more about our friendship there.
As for Dria, I know in my heart that she is still alive, out there somewhere. Where? I'll find her. When I passed the flower shop I smelled something that made me happy and gave me hope that she was still alive. Maybe, just maybe I can check it out and find a clue to her disappearance. But when? School starts tomorrow. Soon.
I hope to meet every one again. I wish I could meet different kinds of beings too. Let's see, I met a talking cat, a Sailor Scout, two Super Sailor Scouts, an Eternal Sailor Scout (that is right, an Eternal Sailor Scout - they are really powerful, I think - more powerful than a Super) and I think she was Transcendent too (but I don't understand that) and a Squire - a Knight rank, I think about the same power of as a Super Sailor. I am really going to have to do some real reasearch on this. I've also met three youma.
I somehow believe that there is a level higher than that of Eternal Sailor. And there are obviously more ranks of the Knight area - probably Page and Knight, but what else? On the Evil side, there has got to be more than just youmas. Maybe I can learn more from Deme.
Whatever happens, I've got to find Dria. Hmph. It was always Drew and Dria or Dria and Drew. Now it is Deme and Drew or Deme and Drew. Maybe one day it will be Drew, Dria and Deme, or similar. Maybe the 3D's. I don't know. We'll figure it out. Somehow, Someday. Hmm, but it would be sad if Dria can't join us as a Sailor Scout. Hey maybe she is one! Haha. Probably not, but it is fun to think about.

Dear Journal,
The search for Dria is going well – in that Deme and I are finding new ways to search. Other than that, we keep getting blindsided by youma and other negas on our way to search to for her. So in reality we are making no progress, yet I am haunted by the feeling that she is nearer than we think.I hope that doesn't mean that she is gone. Mom certainly thinks so.
In other news, now that Mom has given up hope that Dria will ever come back to us, and for the fact that Mom and Dad's confidence is restored in me; they have decided to reunite the family, as best that they can, without Dria. Meaning that Dani is coming home. I haven't thought about her in so long. Danielle Kimberly Erin Bones. Dria's and my nine year old year sister. It was three years; when Dani was six years old, that Dria vanished. Then I, well, I lost my mind. Our parents didn't know what to do – they had just lost one child, that they were trying desperately to find, and they were on the verge of losing another. They just couldn't raise a third at the same time. Dani was sent to live with Aunt Claudia and has lived with her for the last three years.
Now, she is coming back. And according to her letters to Mom and Dad, she's mad. Apparently, Aunt Claudia never fully explained what happened. In her mind, Dria pulled some kind of stunt three years ago, and I flipped out, and have continued to do so for the last three years. According to Dani, this is why she was, in her own words, “Shipped off”. I wonder how she'll cope with what really happened?
Lately my performance in school is immaculate - they are talking about sending me to Meadowview, or Azure, or at least they would be, if I could just get to school on time more often and stop missing classes (which is due to fighting negas of course). I have no answer to give Dad, except that it might one day help to find Dria; Mom on the other hand is not so easily nullified. I have no answer to give her, and that's that one thing she can't trust me over. I hate to not have Mom's whole trust, but as a Sailor Scout, I must keep secrets.
I'm meeting many powerful people. So far, Deme/Osiris is my closest friend. I don't know the identities of Sailors Megrez and Sadacbia, but they are fast becoming friends as well. I've also met some interesting characters – a Guardian Cat named Yumi, her friend Kepler; and I do believe there is something interesting going on at the library. Can't tell what yet. There has been strange but wonderful stuff, like the puffskis, some annoying characters like the senshi of salt. And there's the prospect of going to Etamin, my home-world. I really would like to go there, but I need to find Dria first. Period.

Dear Senshi Journal,
This is Etamin again. Not a lot of battles lately. Not unless you count the major battle my family has been battling for three years- coming to terms, with Dria's disappearance. In fact we have different battles that we are battling for different reasons. For me, of course, I want to see her again, I'd do just about anything. Yet, my battle is just a battle for answers, is she alive, and okay? Is she dead and gone? Whatever happened?
Mom is learning to accept that Dria is not coming back no matter what she does. She also must learn that we all must deal with the grief in our own ways. My way was to lose my mind to the dark path, until I realized that finding the answers would make me sane; at least for a while.
Dad. I haven't quite figured out his battle. He seems to have accepted that Dria is dead. He also seems to understand that Mom needs church and I need answers, and that we all need family. That's why he and Mom have decided to bring Dani home and to invite Aunt Claudia to live with us for some time.
Dani. Danielle , our my younger sister, was nine years old when Dria went missing. Dria and I were eleven. When I later lost my mind in grief, Dani was sent to live with Aunt Claudia and has lived with her for the last three years. Dani, I remember she used to like big cats, and playing board games. She was sweet. I wonder what she is is like now.
Dad brings sad news about her. She needs healing as well. Apparently, Aunt Claudia didn't tell her the whole story, and she doesn't remember much either. What she knows is this: three years ago, Dria pulled some crazy stunt on an airplane, and I flipped out. Supposedly this is why Dani was sent to live with Aunt Claudia, and she views it as a punishment. Oh Dani; how wrong you are. She blames us for her losing time with our parents. We all need healing. On the other side of my life Deme is a great friend. I hope I can keep him in the D Circle when Dani comes, if there would even be one. Maybe we will even find Dria, and there a 4D Circle - 4D, that's good. Sigh. I'm hoping to meet other good friends too. Sailor Osiris and Sailor Etamin should be a team.. I should bring that up. Which speaking of the war, I think that the Order Side needs a leader and bad. Not saying who it should be. I'm definitely not qualified, and I'm really not sure who is, being still rather new and all. Well maybe not, it was June of last year when my Awakening took place, July, August, September, October, November, December, Janurary - wow, has it been seven months already?
Hmm I bet it would have been awesome if Dria could have been a Sailor Scout with me. Sigh. Well, Dani might become one; after she gets over her anger that is. I've heard it mentioned that Scouts can be younger than 14, they are just a different kind of Scout, a "Chibi" Sailor Scout. It would be awesome, if we could go patroling together, older brother showing his younger sister...
But what would her Sphere be? Dolls? Something no one guess - Ice or Nutrons? Or something close to her, Jaguars? I don't know. Maybe something Egyptian! Then she, Deme and I would really make a good team. Well here's to that....

Allies:Pasithee Leaena Ubasti Antares Sadachbia Sekhmet Imports:Pasithee: Perfume and Ointments Leaena: Meat Ubasti: Ointments and Oils Antares: Decorative Glass, Gold, and Gems Sadachbia: Architects, Construction Workers, Immigration Sekhmet: Metals Exports:Pasithee: Wood Leaena: Weapons (Spears and such) Ubasti: Feathered Horses Antares: Crafts and Llamahead Camels Sadachbia: Emmigration Sekhmet: Water The Etamin Position:The Protector of Etamin position; while the planet was still living, was Head Librarian of the Library of Etamin. Sailor Etamin was also trained in Etamazu from childhood, and was also the leader of the Librarian Guild. Notable Locations:The Library of Etamin - During the Silver Millennium, the fame of Library of Etamin was one of great wonder, Scholars from all over the galaxy came to study there in peace, and to come and go as they pleased. Many of the scrolls and books (mostly scrolls), were in hieroglyphs and hieroglyphics. There were also various treasures of the galaxy and valuable works of art. Pharaoh's Palace - Pharoah, the leader of the planet, lived at this palace, built of shining alabaster stone – the history of the planet painted in hieroglyphics, on its' walls. Some said there were rooms long forgotten to time itself, with stories on the walls that would scare the Etamites – or else change everything they've ever known to be true. People:The people were tall, with clear complexions, black hair, and skin tones that range from Middle Eastern to North African. Eyes were dark brown to black. Pharoah – the leader of the Etamites, can be man or woman, the throne was passed down from parent to eldest child., however all children of the royal family were trained to rule, in case of tragedy. Sailor Etamin – Senshi Protector of the Planet, Head Librarian, Leader of the Librarian Guild, Member of the Planetary Counsel. This power was reincarnated by the will of the power itself to any random newborn it chose, upon the last incarnation's death. No mortal could interfere with that. Also, by Etaminian Law, once the new Sailor Etamin was discovered, their old life, had passed away. Their possessions were burnt, their titles and relationships were no more, their former identity was considered dead. Planetary Counsel – A counsel made up of the Guild leaders, including Sailor Etamin, to advise the Pharaoh. Physiology:Skin Tone - North African or Eastern Asian Eye Color - All Etamites have green eyes - what shade depends on their age. A lighter hue, such as Jade is seen in those of younger years, while darker shades are obtained as one ages. Society/Culture:Society was built with Nomads, Farmers, Merchants, Artisans, Warriors and a special group of Warriors – the Librarians. There was a really lax class system: at the bottom, were the regular people, next were the Guild Leaders. Just above them was the Special Guild Leader; Sailor Etamin – those made the Planetary Counsel. Finally, there was the Royal Family, which at the top was the Pharaoh. All people though were encouraged to study and read as much as possible. Men and Women were equal. However as much the Pharaoh wanted his people to live whatever life they chose, it was Etaminian law that in a Etamite's strongest skill, lay his or her career and thus they survived. The Pharaoh led Etamin, with the planetary Senshi and the planetary counsel as advisers. Grammar - The word for people of Etamin was Etamites, however, the adjective was Etaminian, as in 'Etaminian' Art. Artisans Guild – The Artisans of Etamin were very skilled with gold, silver, and precious gems, as well as other pieces of artistry. They also made pottery, chariots and just about every other art except for Architecture, which they lacked the skill for. Etaminian Art was bright and colorful, using a lot of bright colors, as well as white, black and gold. Artisans also created items for everyday life. Farmers Guild – Farmers were chosen for their skill in growing plants and/taking care of animals. Farmers' duties could be anything from growing the plant, raising meat and/or dairy portion of the Etaminian diet, to training animals for any part of the Etaminian lifestyle – such as Feathered Horses to draw chariots, to medical expertise. Farmers did anything having to do with living organisms. Merchants Guild – Merchants received goods from the imports and divided them evenly among the Etamites. They also received all of the goods from the Farmers Guild and the Artisans Guild. They then redistributed what was needed to the people, as well some extra, and then sent the rest up the chain for exports. Warriors Guild – Warriors were picked out in their early teens for good fitness, and trained in the fighting forms of Etamazu. Mainly a form of Self-defense, this was also used to protect Etamin. The Warriors Guild was also used as law enforcement. Librarian Guild – The Librarian Guild was a special guild, within the Warrior Guild, that was comprised of top warriors that protected the Library of Etamin. Not only physically fit, they studied at the Library for years, as well as being the caretakers of it. Sailor Etamin was, as the Head Librarian, the leader of the Librarian Guild. Nomads – These Etamites wandered the desert to find needed things like precious gems for the guilds to work with. Architecture:Most of Etamin's special buildings were Pyramids, Sphinxes, and the like. Other important buildings were made from alabaster and other important stones, as well as sandstone. Transportation:Those with need for importance (a message from the Pharaoh for ex.) or speed, and fewer people, as well as less cargo would take a Feathered Horse Drawn Chariot. Someone with a Feathered Horse or two, that had fewer people and less cargo, would take just the Feathered Horse(s). Otherwise, they would take a Feathered Horse Drawn wagon or cart. Animals:Feathered Horses – The Feathered Horses could once fly, but their wings had slowly diminished over time, leaving only their feathers. Feathered Horses were pretty much used as horses were in Egypt – except that they were prettier to look at. Llamahead Camels – Camels with Llama-heads (like it says). These however, could spit further, nastier and meaner, but could travel further and last longer. They were used by Nomads in their vast journeys across the desert. BaccoHippo - Reptilian Hippos that liked to bathe in the sand. They were notoriously over-cranky. Land:Most of the planet was a great desert. There was a minor river called the Kafile. The Kafile ran a mile from its' spring. At its' spring was a small, lush oasis, where Oasis City lies. It was the only city on the planet, and most of the Etamites lived there. A few, daring nomad tribes roamed the desert in search of stuff for the Guilds to work with, such as precious gems. Also, there were several big chunks missing from the planet, where there was no life within the craters.

 Name: Hapii Merii* Sailor Etamin *By Etaminian Law, Hapii Merii died, the day that he was discovered to be the new Sailor Etamin. Nickname: Etamin Age: 19 Fav. Food: BaccoHippo Meat Hated Food: Papyrus Stalks Position:Chief Librarian, Head of the Librarian Guild, Protector of the Planet, Leader of the Planetary Counsel, Chief of Pharaoh's Advisors, …. Hobbies:Studying - Studying Artifacts and beings, whether of history, science or magic is a wonderfully fascinating subject. Even Etamin zones out, he is day dreaming about what it would be like to be these people in history or to use these artifacts. Learning is a most excellent hobby.
Etamazu - Etamazu, the pride of his homeworld and a fun, exhilarating, physical stress reliever and martial art. It is of a type of martial art to use one's enemies power against them, as well incorporates techniques as fighting without sound or sight or to force your enemy to. For Etamin, this is as easy as 1, 2, 3.
Virtues:Analytical Mind - Etamin remembers what he hears from others and what he sees and he hears to create a hazy bird's eye view of a situation. This isn't just putting together information - his mind analyzes it and fits info together like a puzzle. This is not something he controls, it just happens. He usually doesn't really realize that he's doing it, until it is done. Perhaps, if he learns strategy and tactics, he may be very useful in the war, if he can also get over his problems.
Reliable - Etamin will do anything he can to honor any agreement that he has made. His word is his bond. He will drag himself out of bed at any time just to be reliable to everyone, even if he is an inch from death. If he has to buy drinks while fighting enemy, because he promised to bring some to a party, that he's now going to be late to, so be it. One reason that he does this, that he believes that it will teach others honor.
Flaws:Self-Sacrificing - Etamin will do anything he can to honor any agreement that he has made, even if it is to an agent of Chaos. He has a very deep sense of honor, once he's said that he's going to do something, even to one without honor, he will do it. He is ready at anytime to throw himself in for someone not of Chaos, however, he will never knowingly put anyone else in danger. This may seem a virtue, however, this can put him in deadly danger.
Zoning Out - Etamin has a habit of zoning out at the worse possible times. In Library Study Time. This does not make the Elder Librarians happy. This is because often, he is thinking about what he calls “The Time Before” and trying to remember … things he shouldn’t. Unfortunately, he zones out at times that could be crucial to his Study (Artifacts can be dangerous without the proper knowledge). Yeah, Elder Librarians can get very upset with this.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:Eyes: Jade, Almond
Hair: Shaved Bald
Face: Heart shaped, High Cheek Bones
Skin: Olive colored
Body Type: Tall, Muscular FAMILY:Father: Pharoah Amendehart XV
Mother: Queen Neferia
Siblings: Crown Princess Aurera (sister), Prince Hapi Merii-Io (brother, and named for him after his "death" and transformation to Sailor Etamin), Prince Sensurant (brother), Princess Atras (sister), Prince Nesur (brother)
Betrothed: By Law and Tradition, ALL Librarians including and especially Sailor Etamin are celibate for life.
*Note: By Etaminian Law, Sailor Etamin has no Etaminian family. Adopted Father: Aker Ammun Adopted Mother: Basket Ammun Adopted Siblings: Darius Ammun, Pasithee/Do'zan, Sekhmet/Ausar, Leaena/Ja, Am, Ment, Kau, Nes, Anp, Puma, Bau, Men, Apa, Shedir/_____ , Osiris/______, Ametkhan/_____ OTHERS:Mentors: Elder Librarians: Methous, Kinetos Rokine
Librarian Guild: Younger Librarians under his Command: Albine, Tolkin, Mineroc, among others
Allies: Sailor Ubasti, Sailor Antares, Sailor Sadachbia, Sailor Pasithee, Sailor Leaena, Sailor Sekhmet, Aker Ammun, Basket Ammun, Darius Ammun
Friends: Sailor Pasithee, Sailor Leaena, Sailor Sekhmet, Darius Ammun, HISTORY:The most recent Past Incarnation of Sailor Etamin was a boy called Hapii Merii. He was eight years, and was, as the eldest son of Pharaoh Amendehart XV and Queen Neferia, engaged in his Coronation Ceremony to be crowned Crown Prince of the world of Etamin, when the Librarian Priests disturbed the Ceremony with news that their most recent Sailor Etamin had been found. Pharaoh Amendehart was furious and demanded of them, if it couldn't have waited until after the ceremony? To which they responded, 'No it could not, for the Senshi was about to be Crowned Crown Prince,' and that would cause disastrous affairs indeed. There was a shocked silence, followed by a little chaos. Hapii Merii was immediately legally stripped of almost everything - his titles, his name, even his family. He was given new ones - he was now Sailor Etamin, Librarian-Warrior, Chief Librarian, Head of the Guildleader's Council, and Advisor to the Pharoah. He had a lot of Training ahead of him, and lot of loneliness too, for Sailor Etamin has no family - no equal or better, except the Trainer-Librarians until he/she comes of age, and of course Pharaoh, but Pharaoh and Sailor Etamin are always separate and apart. So, it looked like Etamin's was going to be cold and lonely, that is until the Mauvian family assigned to the Court took him under their wing (paw so to speak). The Black Egyptian Mau father figure became his father-figure, his wife the Blue Egyptian Mau mother figure, became his mother-figure, and the little Silver Egyptian Mau kitten, Darius Ammun, become like a brother to him - unofficially of course. Later, the other young Senshi of the Court joined the little family - first Pasithee, then Sekhmet, at some point Leaena, and others throughout. As Sailor Etamin it was his duty to guard the world of Etamin and the other worlds of the Court. As a Librarian-Warrior, it was his duty to search out, then categorize and guard Powerful Objects. Years passed and when he was 15, he received a package containing the legendary Eye of Horus, rumored to have great powers. This was a famous lost treasure of the world of Etamin and Sailor Etamin was so excited to have it within his possession, that he threw caution and security protocols to the wind. To his horror, when he opened the package, he found the relic cursed with some minor Chaos. It overtook him and soon he was laying waste to his own world. A distress beacon was sent out to the reason of the Court, and soon, Pasithee and her Warrior-Priests and Warrior-Priestesses, Leaena and his Senshi Squad, and Sekhmet were there among others to help the Librarian-Warriors fight off their leader. Unfortunately, the Chaos was too strong, and there were only two known survivors that night. Pasithee, her Warrior-Priests and Warrior-Priestesses, Leaena and his Sailor Squad, as well as the entire world of Etamin perished to stop Etamin that day (and yes, he was defeated). Pasithee and Leaena's dying wish was that Etamin's Starseed be returned to the Cauldron to one day be reborn and be given another chance. And it was.
