How is information usually given through the Negaverse? Do they just use regular cell phones and exchange numbers upon meeting other teammates as they go?
codalion: Not the Negaboss here, but I presume that's generally the case -- however, I also think you can assume you've had a certain number of offscreen briefings, meetings, and introductions. Just because rose doesn't have time to RP out every meeting the Negaverse has doesn't mean they don't have any offscreen, and you don't have to wait for an introduction RP to know someone or have seen someone, so longer as you get the other player's consent! Similarly, you don't have to wait for Charonite to call a meeting in am RP to assume he told his lieutenants something if it was announced that he did: ask rose if you're unsure.
rosemilk: As Coda said, there's a lot of meetings that go on behind the scenes, and everybody's been introduced to their superior officers -- this includes captains as well as Beryl and the General-King. You may have met Beryl only as Nealite, however. If you'd like to doublecheck, check with me!

1) How do the GMs feel about Civilians starting a "Save Our Shining Destiny Brigade/Coalition?" (SOS Destiny Brigade/Coalition)
codalion: Elaborate on what you mean by that? I want to be sure I understand the concept before trying to answer. <3
-edit- Oh Sorry!! ^^;;; What I mean by that is Um, say Azzo wanted to start up a Human resistance force against the Youma or what have you. Basically 'prepare' *coughs* people for what lurks outside at night. To help 'clean up' the city. Especially since he and some of the other BP students can feel the Negaverses Youma. I know for a fact he's going to be seeking them out now that his ribs are better. And what better way to do it than to get community involvement? 8D (Or people laughing at you really hard for being "crazy".)
codalion: Aha! In that case, that sounds like a great idea and I'm all for it -- seriously, I'd love to see more community reaction to all that goes on. You have our blessing.
And while I'm posting this might as well make good use of this.
2) Can the Senshi use their previous stage powers? Say like you have an Eternal Senshi, can they use their normal senshi and super senshi powers in that Eternal Stage?
Shazari: Absolutely they can. smile

Re: LP's question in the resistance force, I think FKT was already planning to do something like that :O So I imagine it's allowed.
NOW MY QUESTION--
I was re-reading Cavalier information, and I noticed there was a reference to senshi healing ability? Like... Cavaliers don't heal like senshi do. Do senshi heal faster than normal people?... does this extend to their human forms as well, or do they have to be in senshi form?
codalion: Cavaliers heal like senshi do: just not the Shitennou. <3 I'm pretty sure senshi healing extends to their normal forms.
Shazari: COROLLARY: Senshi who end up receiving proper medical treatment, such as Dani and Elke, will of course find that their treatment is based on assumptions that they heal at a normal human rate -- Dani who wears her cast for weeks more than she needs to (and then was SO MAD when she found out!), Elke who's in the hospital as long as they keep her there -- but things like Elke's infection can and do still definitely happen: their healing is accelerated, not perfected. <3

If senshi can use their old powers, does this apply to a negaverse as well? Can a upgraded negaverse choose to use their old weapon as well? 0: Or does this not work out IC-ly?
rosemilk: The Negaverse's old weapon has been entirely replaced by their new one, so no using old weapon. Sorry!
Shazari: Unless you battle Super Sailor Thuban. (spoiler!)

Does Destiny City have NPC high schools other than Meadowview/Hillworth/Crystal, and can they at least be referenced? I'm asking for the sake of sports seasons, since I imagine that it'd be rather boring for an entire lacrosse season to consist of Hillworth vs Meadowview or Crystal vs Meadowview. XD
Shazari: My take -- Meadowview/Hillworth/Crystal are the inner-city schools and compete in the same athletic divisions (for the most part), which is why they have major rivalries with each other. Other schools do exist, and do compete with the DC three, but they're suburban schools for towns outside the city proper. If you need to name one or two of these in a story, feel free to do so.
codalion: Seconding this. Meadowview/Hillworth/Crystal are very close to one another, but there are more schools in Destiny City than that.

Not sure if hidden lurkers can post questions here too, but one thing I've been curious about is whether members of the Negaverse can be redeemed...
I've been curious about that ever since I found out that senshi can be corrupted.
Hope it's ok for me to post here smile
rosemilk: That one's tricky! You can only be a cavalier if you were born a cavalier, and you can only be a senshi if you were born a senshi. So there doesn't look like a lot of hope for them to become EITHER -- but, well, in the future who can say?
Shazari: It's also possible for a Negaverser who's neither a senshi nor a cavalier to become uncorrupted -- that is, to have their starseed cleansed and become just a normal human being -- but no one knows quite how this would be accomplished (in fact, characters likely don't know that it IS possible).

I was wondering if there is a limit about character's age. I mean, how young can the youngest character be? Likewise, how old can the oldest character be?
Natsube: I believe the youngest we will accept for a Senshi is 13, Negaverse we'd RATHER see people older in the negaverse but probably 13 is the youngest you can go. Younger people MAY come out, but only time will tell.
As to oldest age? I don't think we have a cap but I'd really not want Sailor Old Age running around with a walker.
codalion: 15-30 is a pretty normal age range, I think, with a few years' wiggle room on either end.
Thank you for your answers. Now, I have an extra question if you don't mind. smile Are these guidelines for all kind of characters or just for powered ones? I mean, if someone wants to do older or younger character who is just normal human without any superpowers whatsoever, that's more like no-no or very well possible?
codalion: The rules for powered/human characters are pretty much the same in this regard, especially since any human character technically has the potential to be upgraded to a powered character. For powered characters we're constrained to what Natsu feels comfortable drawing; for human characters we're constrained to what suits the student or adult templates. You can have younger or older NPC characters attached to your character -- their parents or siblings, for instance -- but otherwise stick to the guidelines.
Shazari: Couldn't have said it better myself.
Thank you again. All is clear now. smile

So I just realized as I was rping with Coda that I have NO idea when the break-off point was when Serenity and Endymion died. I assumed it was after everything that was in the manga/anime, but you know what they say about people who assume. So, before I screw up anything (else?) I figure it was probably intelligent to ask. When in the timeline did everyone in the cannon die? (Hope this isn't an illegal question to ask ;;; )
rosemilk: Canonically Endymion and Serenity died at the Cauldron at the end of Stars -- just about everyone died around this point, barring the Shitennou (first season).
Shazari: Note: NotM therefore relies more upon the manga ending of Stars, if that helps (though it also relies more upon the anime version of Nehelenia's storyline).
EDIT
Also, DOES Helios have the Golden Crystal? Nehelenia/Selene/Corinna made mention of it in "This Dream is for You, So Pay the Price" and I realized I have no idea.
Shazari: Nehelenia doesn't know either -- that's a guess on her part (actually so is her threat that Black Lady will steal it, given the chance! She has know way of knowing this at the time, she's just talking a big talk.)
No worries, I knew she didn't <3 I just realized that I didn't either ;;;
rosemilk: Endymion has the Golden Crystal. smile

Question regarding classifying an RP. Foramen was awakened before the BP students vs zombies Operation Meatgrinder, so I can count it towards his growth. But does being vs zombies make it a battle? Or just a regular, since it's Kirin and not Foramen who is involved? codalion: I'm pretty sure a battle is a battle whether or not the character is transformed at the time, but I'd have to double-check.rosemilk: It doesn't count as a battle, unfortunately, because we count battles as specifically senshi experience -- your power increasing is predicated on how much you use it. So Kirin's zombie encounter is a reg.

Why is a raven like a writing desk? =(
Shazari: Because they both come with inky quills.
codalion: Shall I tell you now, Miss Liddel, what's the answer to the riddle of the raven that you used to send your call?
rosemilk: How was trump at Munich?

Obvious question is probably obvious, but -- there's now a three-month wait to upgrade a super senshi to Eternal, does this also apply to Captain-General upgrades for Negaverse officers?
Shazari: I suspect that's indeed the intent. <3
rosemilk: That also counts. I shall update.
What are the sports team names / mascots for each school? XD If this is undecided can we have a shopwide vote or something?
codalion: It is undecided -- lemme consult my fellow beatified individuals about this! It may come down to a vote, or for simplicity we may just wind up picking something out.
Shazari: The Meadowview Manta Rays? The Crystal Academy Cephalopods? The Hillworth Hamsters? No, actually, we'll throw this one up in the admin forum to make sure no one remembers any mascots having been codified already, and if not, we'll either set down some or we'll let you guys tell us what sports team mascots your hearts desire.
rosemilk: We've had some suggestions. I'll note them all down in a thread, let people make some more, then pick 'em out of a hat. Ho ho.
Is Destiny City still a "smallish, college-sized city" or could it be said that it's a slightly bigger city due to the fact there's so many characters in play / smaller city = only so many star seeds to steal?
codalion: The game's evolved, and Destiny City with it -- so yes, at this point we're treating the city like a major metropolitan center.
Shazari: Concur.
rosemilk: When I said "college city", I only meant in terms of the fact that it's a city with a large population of students that's centered around a university and known for it -- like Tucson, Baton Rouge, Boulder, Fayetteville and so on. 'College sized' would be more of a town. So no, it was never intended to be that small, was always intended to be a city, and it's true that it's now regarded as a metropolitan area.
Location-wise, can we assume DC is in the temperate zone of the US since it had a cold winter and a hot summer? It's also got all the standard topographical features, e.g. a coast and a mountain range within reasonable driving / train distance, lake and probably a forest on the outskirts, y/n?
codalion: Y. Nebulous Eastern Seaboard is a pretty good assumption.
Shazari: Agree. For simplicity's sake, when in doubt, climate-wise, I just pretend that DC stands for "District of Columbia" and go from there. It's a pretty reasonable analogue as far as climate/environment/topography.

I know myself and a few others have made this assumption, but now I'm afraid I might have been wrong. In which case... whoops. x.x
Does DC have a subway system?
Shazari: Yes. smile

1. I was wondering what stealing a starseed exactly does?
It was explained in one of my RPs as taking away the person's memories and the qualities that makes them individual, so they move on through life as a lifeless shell, a basic functioning human losing their identity basically. So I was under the impression that they drop unconscious.
But when I see it usually in RPs, it seems to means the person's life, so taking it out of them means that they usually drop dead right afterwards? I was wondering if starseeds could be clarified? Their effects and so on.
rosemilk: Starseeds are a little nebulous, in terms of, what is a soul? A starseed represents your heart, your self, your energy: they can be harvested and used for a number of purposes. They can be corrupted, which some people argue turns you 'evil', others argue that it just exaggerates parts of your personality enough so that they overcome and override your logic circuits -- you can be controlled through your starseed, and if it's taken, it can have fatal effects. You can die if your starseed's taken too violently, or linger and die later -- you can also turn into a youma, but we'll be discussing that.
You can certainly be evil with a starseed, so the concept of good = starseed pure and bad = starseed corrupted is a little murky. The Negaverse control their troops through their corrupted starseeds or their corrupted willpower, to put it another way.
Some people drop unconscious because of the way it's taken, and it CAN be put back in. Taken violently, you can die. There's a huge ward of coma patients in the Destiny City Memorial Hospital who enter unconscious states and never wake up, and are taken off life support.
2. And can negaverse use their teleportation abilities and summoning youma during their human form or just in their negaverse forms?
rosemilk: They have to be transformed. If you are summon teleported into the Negaverse subspace, you automatically transform into your Negaverse self -- but it's not you doing the teleporting, it's Charonite or Beryl teleporting you. You can't summon a youma as a human either, though a youma may recognise you as a Negaverser.

Okay, cool! Next question. Captains get their own personal youmas, right? So if that youma were to get defeated and dead, are they replaced by others of the same kind or re-appear again when they're summoned again next time? Or is it just a one-time youma use? Or do personal youma even die?
Also, senshi can tell their families of their identities but can negaverse tell their families (not the whole family but like a close sibling?) or is that a no-go?
Shazari: Answered on the next page.

I actually had a random question I just thought about. If you enter a character for an upgrade contest and win. Is it like the student comps where if you win you no longer have to get okays for that upgrade? Or is it the reverse and you still have to get okays? (I was curious because I know Buns won the upgrade comp when it was run and she didn't have any okays and she posted in the thread to get it okay'd so I was actually curious on the answer. ((That buns isn't on atm to nudge her in here to ask the question.)))
-edit-
If BP kids get upgraded to senshi/cavalier/etc do they keep their ability to track Youma?
rosemilk: It all depends on the character. Let's take a case study of Imogen -- she won the concept contest, and because she'd submitted a concept we okayed it because her upgrade was part of that (all barring a few minor nitpicks). Due to the nature of the upgrade contest, where you put forth your RP, doesn't necessarily mean it is completely okayed. We might still need more work.
BP kids lose their ability to track youma if they upgrade.
