Welcome to Gaia! ::

If we can use mythological places for knights, are mythological landmarks allowed? For example, the tree of Yggdrasil or the six rivers that surround hell? <3


Mouse: Yup, that should be fine.

Can a knight be named after a place that existed 1000 years ago but no longer does?

Mouse: Yup!


Also, if something existed 1000 years ago, but its name has changed, which name should be used?

Mouse: I'd go with the one that's the fewest number of words, personally, but any name that's been used for the place is fine.

I have a bunch of Knight questions!

-- The Knights were born on Earth and then sent out to planets, which means Cimmerian was sent to Pluto by Endymion himself. So she knows him in the past, yes? It says that the Knights ended with the fall of the Earth Kingdom and are only now returning -- so what do they know of the Shitennou? Where were the Knights when the others corrupted in the past? What could I say about Cimmerian and Sailor Pluto's relationship, or if they even had one? Or is this like the senshi past lives where we should just try to be as vague about canon character involvement as possible?

Mouse: Since this is something in need of a lot of consideration, we're going to put the full answers to this and most of your other questions in an official thread -- it'll have some guidelines for the above as well as info on the individual planets / how much you can weigh in with that planet's senshi. However, on Endymion and the Shittenou, it's a good idea to be more vague: think of them as the dean and school board for the Knight Academy. You knew of them, they may have been your instructor or guest speaker for something at some point, but beyond that you probably didn't have a close relationship with any of them.


-- When a Page awakens, do they automatically know their name, how to use their weapon, and all about the past? How do their past life memories work?

Mouse: They'll know their name and their planet, but will have to learn how to use their weapon and uncover the past over time as they develop. Since Knights don't necessarily have to be reborn in order to exist like senshi do (senshi are born with their power, Knights pledge into it), there's a couple of possibilities for how you can handle their past! As said above, we'll have more info on this up soon, but the short version is that 1. you have to travel to your wonder to learn anything about your past, and 2. you can choose to have a past life, or to learn from ancestors who were pledged to your wonder in the past.


-- How old would they be, on average, when they are sent to the other planets? Did they have to pass some test of character or something?

Mouse: The mean age would probably have been around 17, and I imagine they would have! You had to train to be a Knight, and with that comes needing to prove you completed your training before being shipped off.


-- In the info thread, it says that Knight do not have to link to senshi to use their magic. But do they, in any way, link to senshi?

Mouse: Nope, they're completely independent.


-- Can Knights travel to space on their own like senshi? Or do they need to be ferried?

Mouse: They should be able to go on their own, please hold while we smooth out the kinks in the logistics. <3

Couple questions about Elysion and it's guardians.

They have power signatures like every other powered characters have, right? How strong this signature is (in each form) and what it feels like? Good, evil, neutral?

Nessy: In Destiny City the Eyes are as strong as a Super senshi and would feel similar to one.

The first one I have an answer already but I thought others might wonder the same. What happens if someone tries to enter into Elysion?

Nessy: Nothing. You can think about Elysion all you want but with Helios' power guarding the barrier tighter than ever you simply...think about Elysion.

And... Has everything changed into normal (in dreaming/sleeping vice) since the Elysion had been blocked from everyone? People sleep normal amount of sleep? Dream normal kind of dreams? Or is there some kind of side effects of Elysion being sealed down?

Is there a possibility to dream about Elysion guardian lands (if they are based of their memories or something)? (In example, is there possibility for Cora having a nightmare about Leopard's land where she almost fell down in the fissure.)

Nessy: Everything has been returned to how it is. However if you have been scarred by something that happened in Elysion it could absolutely affect your dreams and nightmares. Elysion doesn't control what you dream about. Just that you dream.

Can knights have Cell phones? Or do they not have communication devices?

Natsube: I'd need confirmation from Nessy and Mouse, but as they are not Senshi and do not need to follow the senshi at all times (they certainly can though!) they will probably not have the cellphones that the cats make.

They certainly can have regular cellphones though.


*edit* Well the reason I was asking, I was trying to figure out how the knights call for help when they need it. If they have to use regular cellphones/communication means, and their stuff disappears when they transform how are they suppose to call for back up? I know the Nega has those stone things and the senshi have the cellphones. So are the knights just SoL then? >>; Sorry... 8D I'm full of questions!

Nessy: For a long time senshi didn't have cell phones and Negas didn't have their stones until this recent Christmas! So yep, knights are SOL at the moment until we figure out something useful, unique, and awesome to give them. Think of it like civilization and knights are in the Bronze Age of their development.

I personally advise running the hell away.

What kind of abilities to knights have outside their power? Such as jumping, speed, healing, transportation, etc?

And are knights meant to be more or less equal to a first level Senshi and/or Lieutenant?

Follow up question on using their own cellphones:
What if they don't have one? Or are knights expected to get a pre-paid cell phone and hope their minutes don't run out in the middle of an important call? XD;;

Nessy: Pages (saying knights makes me think third-stage characters) come with the basic power set of a Lieutenant minus sticking hands in chests. Star seed fondling is something only corrupt characters can perform.

As we have characters enter the game and level up odds are we will tweak their powerset to give squires and knights something unique to their class like the other two factions. We just have to see things in play to make a good balance first!

As far as cell phones go I need to pow-wow with the staff on that one. Phones come from cats and some knights never see a cat! However I'm sure we can come up with some form of communication device.

I'm personally for weird telepathy. 8D

Can chibi senshi hold something else than a stuffed animal if it fits to their concept? I.e. I'm questing for chibi senshi Victoria with flower language sphere. A flower basket or a bouquet would look cute in her hands. ^o^


Also, in Sailor Moon manga guardian cats lost their talking abilities when their crescent shaped marks were damaged. Is this true for the shop's guardian cats as well? If their star signs are damaged, what would happen?

And if something major would happen, I'm assuming a permission from mod for star sign damaging should be needed, am I right?


Gah, sorry if I did not made any sense. XD
