February 19th, 2013 --This is a prompt for knights only. Please make sure to read below!You can't really put your finger on what it is, but the past time or two that you've powered up and touched your weapon it just felt...weird. Maybe you felt anxious, or that strange uneasy twist in your stomach, perhaps you even felt energized by the strange sensation. All you know is that it feels different then it ever did before, and not necessarily a 'good' kind of different. Dismissing it and reconjuring it does nothing to help the feeling, every time you power up the sensation returns. The weapon still works the same way it always did, as does your magic, despite the strange new feeling. But it's left many a knight wondering and conjecturing...what in the world is going on? Plan on doing a solo or rp that responds to/deals with this prompt? You should absolutely post the link to it in this thread!

February 23rd, 2013 --This is a prompt for knights only. Please make sure to read below!That strange feeling has persisted on and despite much conjecture, experimentation, and conversation no one has really been able to figure out a reason for it or more importantly a way to fix it. Not even Camelot, the most sought-after source of wisdom and advice in a collective moment of trouble, could explain what was happening. Really, he could only confirm he felt the same! What in the world was going on? Thankfully, this problem decided to resolve itself fairly quickly. It came over you all at once a strong, almost undeniable, urge to be at your wonder.. Some would say it felt like a terrible homesickness while others would claim it felt more like a telepathic distress signal, an S.O.S demanding their attention right now. Whatever the feeling it's eventually too much to bear, and when you do finally go something fantastical happens. Some knights find their weapon changing and shifting before their very eyes. Others are treated to a warm glow of light that engulfs their weapons, relieving that feeling of tension and replacing it with one of warmth and power (perhaps unbeknownst to them shifting the magical powers that reside inside them). Some knights are even met by their ancestral guides, or are overcome by a vision of their past lives doing...something, that gives subtle hints towards a power, unknown in function or form, hidden somewhere in or around the wonder itself. Though too often lately a silent force, the necessity that is the existence of the knights has not gone unnoticed. Their confusion, their questioning, all moving to shift the Order of the universe to answering them in a way that cannot be denied. The knights required more power, the knights required a way to truly serve whatever purpose they have championed, and the universe has responded, granting them this power in a form that has not been seen for a thousand years. Their true destiny, it seems, is about to be realized. ------------------------- OOC Notes: This trip to your wonder DOES NOT count against your usual space travel limitations. So you can do them at anytime without it affecting any other Deep Space RP.
There isn't a huge rush to get these RPs/solos done, but they need to be done before you can RP ICly with your new and improved weapon/magic.
Please label them with [QUEST REG] or [QUEST SOLO] so that we know them when we see them! So what does this mean huh? It means that we are releasing our first, long-needed patch to the knight faction as a whole. This is not the end of our work with the knights but it is what we felt was the most important to release as soon as possible. Check out this thread for all of the important OOC information regarding the new changes to see the options available to current knights and new ones. We will be eventually incorporating this information into the existing knight information thread, but for now it is much simpler to have them in their own thread.
Once you've decided what you'd like to do with your weapon/magic (change it, add onto it, etc etc) please post for your revision here.
This is not mandatory. If you like what you have and do not want to change it you are not required to! That would be an example of a defensive weapon and defensive magic.
We also have a thread for accepted quests here but please realize priority is going to be given to existing, played characters. All knights awakened after this point will not go through this change, they will be already awoken with their better weapons. They may still participate in the 'summons' portion of this prompt however.If you are participating in the [QUEST] to gain a summon for your character please post proof of their quest via rps in this thread.

March 2nd, 2013 --
Hey everyone, your local, friendly Moon Administratrix here with a fairly important announcement.
Indubitably has decided to leave our staff and as such there is an obvious shift in how things are going to work. We’ve been shifting the staff for some time to be oriented more towards specific tasks rather than specific factions so this is going to hopefully make the transition smoother than it otherwise would be. Indu was our tireless champion of Chaos knowledge and plot and we’ll miss her quite a lot as a member of our staff.
Thankfully we’ll be keeping her as a player! Leaving staff doesn’t mean that she’s going to be any less involved in the community and is more than willing to still plot, play, or chat with you guys. She won’t be able to approve your quests and plots but as a former staff member and stamper she could still be an excellent resource for pruning your plots and shaping up your quests for future stamps. Take advantage!
Her resignation is effective March 15th so if you need something from her as a staffer please make sure to contact her before this time.

March 3rd, 2013 --
Note on Summons --
There was some confusion born out of how the sample was structured and for that we apologize. We were trying to show both the offensive option and the defensive option for a summons in the same form which led many of you to have both offensive and defensive options in your creations.
Summons magic must be either offensive or defensive but it cannot be both. We're still going to be going through to crit but since this is something that probably fostered confusion in everyone, we wanted to also make a note about it.
Thanks for your understanding ~~

April 6th, 2013 --Since its inception the Dark Mirror Senshi have been limited in how they could awaken from ordinary civilians into Dark Mirror Senshi. Because every awakening required the involvement of Dark Mirror Queen Ares there ended up having to be a lot of handwaving, and with her disappearance that has only made things more difficult for players actually wanting to RP out their awakenings. And so we bring you a new, more open mechanism for awakening your Dark Mirror Senshi! Quote: How It Works -- Civilian characters that are going to be awakened into Dark Mirror senshi are taken to mirror space by a Dark Mirror senshi that is of Eternal level or higher.
This civilian is taken to Ares' mirror at the center of mirrorspace. When the mirror senses an unawakened senshi starseed it will suck that person in, spitting them back out as a new Dark Mirror senshi. A few notes: The accompanying senshi assisting in the awakening must be Eternal level or higher. Lower level senshi might have trouble locating Ares' mirror, or getting it to respond to their presence.
This is only for new awakenings, aka a civilian to senshi awakening. Growths will continue as they always have and existing corruptions will still require a fourth stage character.
A cat or fourth stage character is not required for this kind of awakening, but would be needed eventually to provide the mirrorwraiths, compacts, and if needed name and sphere to the senshi. This portion of RP may be handwaved if you wish. IC FAQ --So can a Dark Mirror Senshi take anyone they like into mirrorspace to try and awaken them? No. Only willing civilians can be taken into mirrorspace for awakening-based RPs. Whether the civilian is volunteering to join the group (on the chance they do have a senshi starseed), volunteering to offer some of their energy to be drained, or even kind of tricked into going along, the civilian character must make a decision to go. No character can be kidnapped into mirrorspace and then forced to awaken without the involvement of a fourth stage character. How will a Dark Mirror Senshi know that someone is a candidate?There are a few different ways you're allowed to go about this: Trial and Error - Characters are absolutely allowed to just attempt to take anyone that will agree to go to the mirror and see if they'll awaken. This is of course the sloppiest and least concrete way but hey, if you want to have fun RPing it this way go for it! Corrupted Guardians - Corrupted guardian cats have the same ability to sense an unawakened starseed as regular Guardians do. A cat can point out a potential target to a nearby Dark Mirror senshi if wanted. Mirrorwraith Draining - If a Dark Mirror senshi is experienced with using mirrorwraiths they may begin to notice a special indicator. An unawakened starseed is just bursting with energy and power waiting to get out, so when a mirrorwraith drains a person with one of them the energy they gather happens at a noticeably faster rate than any average civilian. Already powered characters, both Order and Chaos, would drain at a similar rate as a regular unpowered civilian. Despite having a more powerful starseed their powered bodies would provide them minor defense, therefore obscuring the ability to detect them among regular civilians.How is my Dark Mirror Senshi going to know this can happen/How soon can I start helping people awaken? The original occurrence and discovery of this new method happened by accident. But thanks to mirrored compacts all members should have be notified. Feel free to RP your character knowing this information as soon as you'd like. What happens at the mirror if my character is just a civilian/doesn't have an unawakened senshi starseed?Nothing at all, other then acting like a regular old mirror. The mirror only reacts to unawakened senshi starseeds.

April 9th, 2013 --Powered Uniform Guidelines!We realize that not everyone is aware of what each and every one of our factions should have as a uniform. This causes a lot of confusion, conflict, and misinformation that isn't really the fault of anyone. We've decided to compile and publish guidelines that will be the artistic standard for the shop from here on out. Note: If you currently do not have one of these components to your fuku we are not going to make you change your current stage of art. This will have to be addressed/added in your growth. If you have all your art, and you are missing an element, that's fine. This is just a standard we're holding to from now into the future. CHECK IT OUT.

April 12th, 2013 --
Moon Administratrix here again, with a more personal announcement than the last one.
Effective April 26th I (Nessy) will be retiring from Moonshop staff permanently, never to be a staff member again. Personal things have taken me farther from Gaia than is good for the health of the shop but I intend to stay as a player and resource for the remaining staff as long as I can.
I have a bit of a worklist to plow through before then but if there is anything that you need specifically from me before April 26th, please make sure to contact me as soon as possible.
Thank you~

April 26th, 2013 --Knight Gradients --What, did you think I'd leave without doing at least one more weird and possibly unnecessary update? Think again kids! Look here!You'll see there are now two things for each kind of knight: a swatch and a gradient. Both are useful for picking colors for your knight. If it is anywhere on the gradient it should be an acceptable color to use on your knight. If you have a shade that is very similar to one of those colors you eyedropped off the gradient, you can probably use it. Hopefully this will be another tool to use when picking colors and figuring out what is and isn't okay for your knights!

April 27th 2013Hey boys and girls! I've got a mini announcement to drop off for you. Quote: With an ever growing population of knights, the staff has decided to be a little more lenient when it comes to the "weapons must be at least 1000 years old" rule. This will be on a case to case basis at the discretion of mods. Items should still be old and antique (most should still fit the 1000 year rule) but if an item is not quite old enough but the technology is simple enough that it makes sense the planet would have that sort of technology it MAY be acceptable. Knight wonders and senshi spheres will continue to have this rule, but because knight weapons can change over generations and the technology of certain planets is debatable we'd like to be a little more flexible on weapons. For example - Though a Galileo thermometer was created in 1600, the technology behind it is very simple. A glass tube, filled with water and beads of other liquid, that reads temperature. Given that Jupiter is closely tied to weather it seems likely that Jupiter would have had a similar item 1000 years ago. We hope you guys enjoy having a tiny bit more leeway with your weapon choices!

Hey everybody! It's time for the hiring announcement that I'm sure some of you have been waiting for.
Firstly we want to thank everyone that submitted an application. There were a lot of good ideas and great offers, unfortunately, we couldn’t hire everyone.
Our New rp mods are:
Kaori_luv
Orangeish Sherbert
Songstress Kitsune
Congratulations guys!
But that's not all! We've also had some people step down and others step up to new positions.
Some of you may have noticed that Akina Tokuwa has privately stepped down, we just wanted to make that announcement publicly, now. If you have questions about the Dark Mirror Court, feel free to direct your inquiries to the mule or one of our Chaos moderators.
Natsube has also stepped down from GMing to return her focus to being an artist for the shop and on her fabulous real life job. She will still remain as the owner and produce lots of pretty art, she just will not be part of the GMing staff any longer.
To help fill some of the recent vacancies Kyuseisha no Hikari and Sunshine Alouette have been promoted to GMs along with Iris_virus! Please welcome them in their new positions.
That concludes our hiring announcements! Don't mind the dust while we get everyone settled into their new jobs and prepare yourself for the exciting things our current and new staff have in store for you!

June 18th, 2013Throughout the years this shop has tested a few different ways to reward our players for their hard work and effort. In the beginning that included things like Star Candies and Luna P's that helped circumvent RP requirements. Later on, Rainbow Crystals and plot opportunities such as purification and corruption became available. Following in this line of opportunities, the shop would like to offer a brand new type of reward to players. Personalized Items In other words, these are items that are chosen by you that have some significance and relevance to your character to reflect the plotting and growth of them as member of this world. These items will have some sort of actual in-character use as well as being allowed to appear on the art of the character as they grow or as you purchase it (as in the case of alt powered art). This also opens the possibility for itemized rewards to pop up from time to time as prizes in RP games or meta events. These ones however will often be limited use, or if not you may opt out of winning them if you so choose when that time comes. If you don't have ideas for something specific but still would love an item this may be a good opportunity for you! These rewards are not limited to a single faction or powered cohort. Any member of any powered faction may earn one for themselves, related to their plots and character choices. Want to know all the details? Check out the Information Thread.Also, regarding plot submissionsBecause staff has changed hands so many times in the past year, there has been some loss of information and some major changes in the shop since several plots were approved but have yet to begin or reach completion. To any player who has sent in a plot that was approved over a year ago and has not yet completed said plot, we'd like to request that your proposal be resent to the current GM staff so that we have records of what is going on and so that we can ensure that no plot is contradictory to current shop settings.
