Name: Merle Audley
Nickname: Uh...Mer? Most just call her Merle. EXCEPT NATALIA. Who knows what nicknames Natalia will come up with for her.
Age: 16
Birthday: April 23rd
Sign: Taurus [Aries Cusp]
Gemstone: Emerald
Blood Type: O+
Fav. Food: Strawberries and hot cocoa
Hated Food: Eel
School: Meadoview High School
Hobbies: Violin - Merle began this when she was in late elementary school, fascinated by the instrument and she practices at least five days a week for ten minutes, if she can't find more time in her schedule. She usually manages a good chunk more time than that, however. And she loves doing covers. Sewing - A hobby picked up as a kid entirely because she wanted to help her Daddy make princess dresses, Merle has since grown past that and loves to sew not just SCA garb, but helps out the drama department and makes a good chunk of her own clothes. She's not very good with embroidery [she leaves that to Fleurelle or patches and ribbons and the like], but she can come up with some very nice outfits and clothing mods. SCA - Merle grew up in the Society for Creative Anachronism, and it's still a big part of her life. She attends the weekly fight practices for her barony, and is the under-18 leader for the boffer group at it [aka, the safer version of heavy fighting], goes to the monthly business meeting because even if she can't vote, she wants to keep informed, and goes to every event her allowance can afford. Fencing - With Merle's love of knights and all things chivalrous, it wasn't surprising that she begged her parents to get her fencing lessons when she was a kid. She's continued them well into her teenhood, practicing at least twice a week in a local class. She's also more than happy to show off for anyone who asks!
Virtues: Honorable - Merle was raised on tales of chivalry and knights, of honor and good. And this shows in the way she keeps herself to a high moral code. She's not the sort to stab someone in the back, literally or metaphorically, and she'll do her best to keep her word if she gives it. She tries to help out where she can, and to be polite and courteous to all, not just her 'betters'. Enduring - Merle is very good at waiting things out, at being patient, at being steady. Perhaps things do not look like they'll turn out for the better? She'll still try and stick it out. The challenge is a little harder than she was told? Fine, Merle will just keep plodding forward. She's not in it for the easy route; she'll put in the work in life and her relationships. Idealistic [the good] - Merle is that girl who sees the bright side of things. She thinks about the world as it could about, about the good that's out there. She's the sort who will offer a new face or an outcast a seat with her, who will argue that the potential for good is in everyone...whether they choose to use that potential or not is another story.
Flaws: Idealistic [the bad] - Merle isn't naive...but she does see the world a little TOO brightly sometimes. She'll try too hard to win someone over, or think that the way of honor and right is the only way to go. She'll focus too hard on the 'how things can be' instead of the 'how things are'. She is the sort who would go to try and talk someone out of something, and be surprised when they turn on her. Implusive - Merle doesn't always think before she leaps. She tends to follow her heart, and thinks that because she strives so hard to be good that...well, thought isn't always required. Needless to say, it's gotten her into more than a few binds, as she'll step into things she doesn't need to and sticks her nose where it can get bitten. Self-sacrificing - Merle puts others before herself. Always. It is the needs of others that a knight attends to, and Merle likes to style herself as a knight, so...She wants to make sure everyone else is taken care of first, that everyone has a seat before she's got one, and she'll take the hit instead of an ally in a heartbeat if she can manage it.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Eyes: Bright tealish-blue
Hair: Dark pink-red, chin length, see ref
Face: Heart-shaped and made for smiling. Slightly tanned, causcasian skin
Clothes: At school, the Meadowview uniform. Out of school, Merle tends to dress for comfort and ease of movement, with light colors being preferred and a medieval/fantasy motif not being rare at all. She's VERY fond of a specific pair of earrings and a ring, however. Please see ref for them. Ref
Senshi: Sailor Genbu, The Senshi of North
Challenge: The solid tortoise of the north shall strike out chaos!
Attacks:
Sailor Scout Attack: Fast Bite! Genbu draws back, calling out the attack name and spreading her arms out vertically. She then lunges forward and claps her hands back together, the image of a tortoise snapping its jaws shut overlaid on her own for a moment. This attack affects one target directly in front of Genbu, causing a jolt of awareness towards Genbu as if she's pinched them with very, very cold metal fingers, very hard. The attack is instantaneous, the chill vanishing shortly after the 'bite' has occured. She can use this attack three times per battle.
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Savage Bite! Genbu draws back, calling out the attack name and spreading her arms out vertically. She then lunges forward and claps her hands back together, the image of a tortoise snapping its jaws shut overlaid on her own for a moment. This attack affects up to three targets up to five feet in front of Genbu, causing a jolt of awareness towards Genbu as if she's pinched them with very, very cold metal fingers, very hard. The attack is instantaneous, the chill vanishing shortly after the 'bite' has occured. She can use this attack twice per battle.
Eternal Sailor Attack: Rage of Genbu! Genbu takes a large step back, spreading her arms open as the image of the Great Black Tortoise is superimposed on her own. As she claps her hands back together, the image of the tortoise opens its mouth and lets loose a cone of freezing air. The cone affects Chaos agents up to ten feet in front of her, with the widest point of the cone being five feet in diameter. The cone disappears five seconds after it is released: long enough for the targets to feel like they've been hit by a deep-winter wind, but not long enough for frostbite or such. It's a good way to get attention on Genbu, though. She can use this attack twice per battle.
Personal History: Merle and her little brother Everard are Army Brats, born in military hospitals, raised across a few states in the USA [and a couple of foreign countries], and they still have their dependent military IDs. Their mother, however, is no longer around due to being KIA in Afghanistan a year ago. Merle has taken it as well as she can, clinging to her friends [even as Fleurelle clings to her], and going to grief counseling and letting her father's family fuss over her and her brother now and then.

Name: Fleurelle Lapointe
Nickname: Fleur, Flower, Wildflower
Age: 17
Birthday: April 21st
Sign: Taurus
Gemstone: Emerald
Blood Type: A-
Fav. Food: Grilled salmon with a strawberry sauce.
Hated Food: Red meat - Fleurelle isn't a vegetarian in that she will eat fish and most poultry, but she cannot stand meats such as beef or pork.
School: Meadowview High School
Hobbies:
Harp - Fleurelle's been taking music lessons since she was about six, and while at first she attempted piano she quickly found herself drawn to the softers, ethereal sounds of the harp. She practices is regularly, at least half an hour to an hour a day and more if she doesn't have something else to be doing. She will occasionally skip a night or so, but only if there's something more important!
Volunteering - This hobby is one that Fleurelle has been forced to take a hiatus from in recent months, but plans to get back to it as soon as her mother's health is secure. You see, Fleurelle doesn't volunteer as just anything - she works as a candy-striper in the hospital, and intends to go to nursing or medical school someday. She has had to temporarily step back from it due to her mother's immune system being in a very delicate state, but once that's passed she has every intention of returning. (Even now she still brings cookies and the like by when she can.)
Sewing - Fleurelle is an ace in home-ec and particularly enjoys sewing both as a class and as a hobby. While others favor a more practical bent in their looks, Fleurelle adores embriodery and other often-tedious work. It allows her to find peace of mind and acts almost as a form of meditation for her, while allowing her to create and embellish beautiful clothing and costumes. Virtues:
Gentle - Fleur is very softhearted and eager to step in and soothe hurts and mend hearts. She is a genuinely kind person who can't stand seeing people or animals in pain. Her first instinct is to go to someone or something that is hurting, and usually she does so, providing soft words or a hug as needed. In fact, she's something of a bleeding heart, and is usually the first to go after that classmate who's been bullied and is hiding in the classroom, and among the quickest to tend the wounds of those who have gotten into a fight. While the blonde isn't particularly eager to step in and fight, she can usually be found trailing after those who take a more active role, first-aid kit in hand for anyone in need.
Affectionate - A warm and loving person, Fleurelle is very open about her affections. Quick to give a smile or encouragement, she makes no secret of her fondness when she likes someone. She does her best to leave no room for doubt about others' standings in her eyes, and does her level best to ensure that everyone around her feels loved and cared for. From bringing snacks to decorating lockers for birthdays, there are a thousand little ways she does her best to make this obvious. Her affection is usually in a maternal or big-sisterly vein, brought about partly due to having a much-younger brother that she is absolutely devoted to.
Devoted - Once you've won a place in Fleurelle's heart - something that is actually fairly easy to do - she'll move the earth for you. She'll stand by your side and support you, whether she disagrees with you about something or not. She will protest and make such things known, but that doesn't stop her from sticking by her friend's side in the end, anyway. Her devotion isn't limited to people, however - she is equally devoted to causes and supporting them. For example, after her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier in the year, Fleurelle only became an avid supporter of cancer research and does her best to promote activism for causes that are truly worth supporting.
Flaws: Opinionated - Fleurelle has strong opinions about a lot of things. A lot of things. From the quality (or lack thereof) of cafeteria food, to whether things like peewee football should be allowed (which in her mind is a NO), from politics to immigration, Fleurelle's answer to the question 'What do you think about this?' will very, very rarely be an uncertain answer. While knowing one's own mind isn't a bad thing in and of itself, Fleurelle is very vocal with her opinions, and tends to make certain that everyone around her knows her mind as well as she does, even if they really have no interest or investment in the topic at hand.
Fussy - Since there is a large age gap between Fleurelle and her little brother Florimond, the blonde is very used to acting as both elder sister and something of a second mother figure. The problem is that she doesn't limit herself to acting this way around her baby brother, but rather tries to fuss at and mother-hen everyone around her. This can get very annoying as she isn't hesitant to nag or remind people to do things like do their homework or to please, please take your shoes off at the door before you get mud everywhere.
Long-winded - Not only does Fleurelle like to make herself heard and tend to be a nag, she also loves the sound of her own voice. Prone to go on and on (and on) about a topic, Fleurelle is sometimes teased about sounding like a history professor. Once she's started on a subject she can ramble for ages, and is very difficult to get to stop. She even continues to drone even when others make it obvious that they're no longer listening. It usually takes a direct intervention to get her to finally wind down, and this usually results in a huffy Fleurelle and frustrated friends.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Eyes: Fleurelle's eyes are a vivid but light blue, somewhere between robin's egg and sky colored. They're oval-shaped aside from a very slight upturn at the ends, and she tends to wear mascara to make her eyelashes thicker and darker.
Hair: Fleurelle shaved her head a few months back to express solidarity with her mother before the woman's chemotherapy was started, and as such it is currently very, very short. While she isn't bald, per se, her hair still resembles a buzzcut over a pixie cut. The color isself is a soft, fair blonde that hovers between gold and peach in color.
Face: Fleurelle's face is long with a pronounced heart-shape, and her nose is small and slightly rounded. Her ears are of average size and shape, but she does enjoy wearing floral earrings. (Lily designs are her favorite).
Clothes: Meadowview School Uniform
Senshi: Byakko (The Senshi of West)
Challenge: "The fierce tiger of the west will support all order!"
Attacks:
Sailor Scout Attack: Rejuvenating Breeze Target: A single ally Range: Within ten feet Byakko takes a step and turns her back to the west, raising her arms over her head, calling out her attack name. As she does an autumn breeze whips up from behind her and washes over her ally - the visible sign of this breeze is a few red-gold leaves of autumn that dissipate within seconds, and is accompanied by the distant-sounding roar of a tiger. The wind lasts momentarily, but the target feels renewed and energized as though they had taken a short rest. Uses: Twice per battle
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Rejuvenating Wind Target: A single ally Range: Within twelve feet Byakko takes a step and turns her back to the west, raising her arms over her head. As she calls her attack name, she brings her arms down in front of her, palms up. As she does an autumn wind, stronger than her basic attack, whips up from behind her and washes over her ally - the visible sign of this breeze is a shower of red-gold leaves of autumn that dissipate within seconds, and is accompanied by the nearby roar of a tiger. The wind lasts momentarily, but the target feels renewed and energized as though they had taken a minute or two to sit down and recover. Uses: Twice per battle.
Eternal Sailor Attack: Succor of Byakko Target: Up to three allies within range. Range: A twelve-foot circle with the centerpoint where the illusory tiger stops. For this attack, Byakko turns to face the west and steps forward, embracing the air before her before spinng in place and throwing her arms forward as she calls out her attack. As she throws her arms forward, a large, illusory white tiger materializes from the west and leaps five feet in front of her. As it lands, it roars and a wind rushes out around it. When this wind touches ally units within range, exposed injuries begin to heal in a slightly-accelerated manner. This rapid healing lasts for thirty seconds and affects only areas where the wind can make direct contact with damaged tissue (I.E. cuts, burns, bruises). Cloth or armor over an injury prevents the healing from taking effect. The more severe an injury, the less effective the attack - small cuts will completely close up, but a sprain will still be sore, and truly dangerous injuries still require medical intervention.
(Personal) History: Fleurelle Lapointe and her family moved to America (and Destiny City in particular) when she was very young and her little brother not yet born. While she has faint memories of her birth country, she tends to think of herself more as American than French, and has no particular desire to go back. Her life up until high school - and indeed partway through it - has been mostly unremarkable and very average, untouched by tragedy or fear. However, six months ago her mother was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer, and ever since things in her life have been a little destabilized. To try and counter this, she's clung more tightly to her friend Merle (and more recently, Talia and Shizuka), taking her role as the group's healer seriously to the point of fixation.
Hobbies: Tech: Between woodwork, sound crew, and lighting, Talia finds herself in love with doing Stage Tech work. She fell in love with the elegance of doing work in the catwalk, or even just on the ground, helping out wherever she can, and so the girl has gathered a name in the Drama department at Meadowview. She is the one that is always willing to help out with a performance, even if she has one of her own to focus on. This was also how she met her friends, and so ever since, the girl has had a new passion. It helps that her father taught her how to fix a sound system...among other things.
Mechanics: This was more of something her father taught her. The man raised Talia to be self-sufficient, and this included teaching her wiring and cars. While she's not entirely proficient in this, and still has some struggles in the realm of figuring out just what the hell she's doing, Talia can mostly figure out tech, given a fair amount of time and a manual. She still works with her father on learning how to get better.
Dance/Gymnastics: Since she was about five, Natalia has been a ballerina. Raised a dancer, the girl takes a mix of comfort and pride in dancing, and it is as much a part of her as her own personality. Dancing provides her with an outlet that is sorely needed, and she uses it to the fullest extent. Combine Ballet with Gymnastics, and Tali becomes flexible and agile. She likes that it keeps her body in peak physical condition, and often will proudly show this to anyone who asks.
Virtues: Tactical - An excellent tactician, Nat's mind is almost entirely logical, completely geared towards thoughts of what's coming next. It's part of the reason she is able to stay two steps ahead of most people. She analyzes everything in her life like a dance, learning every step before approaching a problem and taking it head on. She's not the sort to ever go in to something without having learned as much as she can, or at least enough to satisfy her own curiousity.
Gentle- However, Nat is a soft girl. She's always got good advice, and seems to have a natural love for children as well. When she's around people she can truly relax with, which at the current moment is only 3 people, she smiles easily, laughs more, and seems almost like a normal 17 year old. She loves making kids smile, and will let herself relax when around them, just enough to make a crying infant giggle, or a wailing toddler quiet. She likes being around any kid, and seems to almost do better with them, than kids her own age. She likes to spend some of her spare time at the animal shelter, helping out by walking the dogs, and feeding all of the animals. Her father's had to remind her that she's not allowed to take all of them home.
Reliable - Talia is not the sort you want to try to draw away from a task. She has a one-track mind, and once she's on a tangent, it's damn near impossible for her to be drawn off it. She is dedicated wholeheartedly to what she believes is meant to be done, and if she says that she's going to get something done, it will be done. It's rare for her to be unable to complete a promise's deed, mostly because of the fact that when she's decided it's important, her entire being delves deep in. Schoolwork, her ballet, Gymnastics, and her friends and father seem to be the ones that see this trait the most at the moment.
Flaws: Distant- Talia doesn't seem to be the sort to be able to make connections easily. She's the face in the back of the crowd that's staring at everyone else, letting her judgements be formed by how they interact with OTHERS. When interaction with her is suggested, she tends to clam up, and often this can lead to some confusion. A part of her isn't sure whether to take their actions at face value, or to read into it. Most of the time, the way she stands back and watches, she begins to read into it. It's all too much sometimes....Too strange. She can overload when she tries to focus too close because of it.
Oblivious- Talia's distance does leave her with a bit of an issue, however, and that is the fact that she can often manage to be completely oblivious. So lost in her own little world. The fact is that other people's personal beliefs and mentalities have never really mattered to her, and so when they tell her that she's done something 'offensive', she'll often have no idea what in God's name they're talking about. The fact is that she believes that outside of what she understands, and what she does, other people don't matter as much in the grand scheme of things.
Manipulative- It's not past her to use whatever means at her disposal to use people. If she believes that something is a good idea, and she does not have the means to do it herself, she will find some way to simply make it someone else's problem. Mostly because...why in the hell does she have time to get it done? It doesn't matter. She's convinced people to do her homework for her, and flirted with people that she barely knows, using the information she takes in from watching them. She's not below blackmail either. She may not be squeaky clean, but at the very least she knows how to play her game so that her own dirty laundry stays hidden.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Eyes: Pale blue eyes, with an almost silvery hue, set into almond-shaped eyes, the lashes are long and give them almost a lidded appearance. [Ref]
Hair: Coppery orange, with darker brown lowlights, set in a long, bang-less style about her face. It's layered slightly, but not enough to make it difficult to put up in a bun after school. She leaves it long and loose, and the style ends about at her mid-back. [x] Style [x] Color
Face: Oval face, with freckles across the bridge of her nose and spattering across her cheeks. She has a flat-bridged nose, with a turned up tip, and full lips, high cheekbones, almost a delicate look. It compliments her petite body, and lithe build.
Clothes: [for later] Natalia dresses in a very high-fashion manner, usually loose dresses with boleros, or some kind of long shirt and tights combo, with flats. Mostly due to her own sensibilities, the colors range from black and red, to pale cream and soft peach/pinks, though she steers towards the former. [x] x
Senshi: Seiryuu, The Senshi of East
Challenge: "The elegant Dragon of the East will root out Chaos!"
Attacks:
Sailor Scout Attack: Splintering Shower - Seiryuu summons small barbs of energy that manifest in a seeming of splinters about her. Drawing her hands back and then thrusting them forwards, she sends the shower to strike her enemies. This attack effects one target, and makes them feel as though they've been struck all over with sharp darts, causing a very small amount of damage. The attack is instantaneous, and the effects vanish shortly after manifestation, leaving behind a feeling similar to a splinter in the skin. Seiryuu is left open during summoning and is drained by the use of this attack.
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Splintering Barrage - There is a glittering in the air as Seiryuu opens her arms, the splinters manifesting almost as glittering teeth about her. This shower is wider in size behind her than the prior, and as she sends her hands forwards, the shower sails towards the attackers. This attack effects up to three targets, and gives the feeling of being pierced by sharp, wooden barbs. This attack is instantaneous, and leaves a feeling more akin to being stabbed, and does a slightly larger amount of damage than its predecessor. Seiryuu is left open during summoning, and is drained after the use of this attack.
Eternal Sailor Attack: Brutality of Seiryuu - Behind the young woman, the image of a dragon forms, seemingly out of vines, though it takes on a blue hue, with eyes of glowing gold energy. Talia's eyes close in focus, and she pirouettes. As her hand points towards the target, the dragon rushes forwards and deals damage to the enemy. This attack effects one to three targets, and leaves the feeling of being knocked into by a very solid figure. This attack is instantaneous and leaves the feeling of being lashed by vines, and does the greatest amount of damage. Can only be used twice during combat. Seiryuu is left open during summoning, and if interrupted, this is still counted as an attack.
History (Personal): Talia was born in Russia. While she's never known her mother's name, or even her face, she was raised by a loving father. Ivan raised her close, and she's always all but doted upon him, happy to follow the man wherever he leads. She began schooling around age 5, and at her father's insistence, took to Ballet not even a few weeks later. It began as a way to make him proud. As she grew, he began to teach her how to work with mechanics, wiring and lights, and moved on, as she moved into her pre-teen years, to cars. Her father moved them first to America when she was nine, then to Destiny City around four years ago, telling Natalia that it would be good for the two of them to have a change in scenery.
Initially, she wasn't sure what to make of it, but after meeting her friends, and beginning to date Shizuka, she's decided...she rather likes it here.

Team Senryaku: Sailor Hawk, Kapoodles, Tasinei, shyanimegrl
Name: Hokulani Ueda
Nickname: Ku (like coo) is Preferred. Honi, Hoku, Lani, Kuni, and Kukukukukukuku *insert maniacal laughter*
Age: 18
Birthday: June 18
Sign: Gemini
Gemstone: Pearls
Blood Type: B
Fav. Food: Guava Pastries
Hated Food: Sauerkraut
School: Meadowview High School
Hobbies:
Roller Blading - She moves fast! Whurlling wheels faster than the speed of sound! This girl needs to move and needs nothing to be in her way! Her favorite thing in the world is her pair of inline skates that she bought with her part time job money. She Rolls around town with speed and flair, and crashes pretty often. that's okay, because her Helmet and kneepads are sturdy enough! she's always searching for races with people, whether on bikes, on foot, or on skateboards. She wants to beat you with her wonderful skates!
Ancient History - She has no desire to be an archaeologist or anything of the sort when she gets older, she just has this URGE to know as much as she can about the Ancient world. And she's PISSED that there seems to never be enough on South America. Why is it always Europe or the East?! That's okay though, she still loves history enough to be part of the History clubs at school, and always keeps an eye out for exhibits that pop up at the local museums.
Poetry - Ku LOVES flowery bits and pieces of speech. She wants to hear it all, tacky and romantic, to heart felt and tragic. She loves Slam Poetry and little silly rhymes you hear as a kid. She seeks them out like a fly to raw meat, and actively looks in the community to see when the next poetry circle or overly done play is going to perform, wanting to attend every single last one.
Virtues:
Quick Thinking -- Ku's thoughts are faster than her rollerblades. She's a problem solver who can assess a situation with the speed of.. A bit faster than a normal person. She is by no means a BBC's Sherlock, but she can grasp a situation and try to predict the next best move within a number of seconds. she isn't necessarily always right about things, since she's not very empathetic. Humans are far too unpredictable.
No hesitation -- Once Ku and whoever she's working with gets to a final conclusion, she hops right to it. There's hardly any second thoughts with her, and she goes straight ahead with positive thoughts! Procrastination is not in her vocabulary and she'll hop right to it to get the job done!
Supportive -- First and foremost, Ku is a positive enabler. She believes no one should give up after the first try! Are you shy about your work? She'll praise you and encourage you to pursue your dreams! She's the go-to cheerleader of her group of friends, and is very good at constructive criticism. She wants to praise everyone and anyone, and is always one of the ones clapping the loudest at a given event. You tried, and you should be DAMNED proud of yourself!
Flaws:
No Hesitation -- Once a decision is made, Ku gives no further thought about a given situation. If consequences have not been discussed, they won't be for her. She is not lacking in common sense, but she follows through with her actions even if the situation looks dire. She won't give up and she does not hesitate to tell someone else off for doing so. The world doesn't have time for idlers!
Gullible -- Mama Ku has a hard time believing that the hard workers in the world would ever pull wool over her eyes. She's not blind to obvious lies and wrongdoings (I SAW you break that vase over her head, it was NOT an accident!) but most of the minor details, she doesn't really give much thought to. You ask to see her homework to see if your answers are right, but are actually going to copy it, she's not going to notice. Not until it's too late and the teacher is calling you both up to the front desk.
Tunnel Vision - Once started on something, Hokulani cannot be stopped. This can be applied to all aspects of her life. She sees the end, and that's the only thing that she focuses on. Details can change, but she won't, to the point where she's unreachable. It's the destination that matters to her, not the trip. The trip is just a bunch of blurry images.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Eyes: As Shown
Hair: Like THIS, but a real dark grey, almost black. Light black. xD
Face: As Shown
Clothes: Uniform
Senshi: Genbu The Senshi of North (Senshi of Adaptation)
Challenge: You cannot survive the North's Fury!
Attacks:
Genbu's Attacks were based off of the need of Adaptation to live in the cold, blistery Earth!North. Actual Planet Genbuu was a constantly changing whirlwind of weather patterns, utterly Unstable! Her people KNEW how to adapt!
Sailor Scout Attack: First Flexibility! Genbu claps her hands as hard as she can, summoning a sphere of a white light, and flings it towards her enemy.
This grants the target (At the whim of the player) a change to the PHYSICAL perception of the situation.
FOR EXAMPLE
Target is covered in slime and is normally very very disturbed by it. Getting hit by Genbu's attack allows the person to focus slightly better, and allows them to not throw up. It is a very, very minor thing, and CANNOT change a person's Point of view on a situation. They are still disgusted. They STILL think it's a horrible thing! They just will be able to not focus 100% on it as they would before.
This effect lasts for 20 Seconds, can be used three times, and works ONLY on the intended target. If the light misses, then that's one shot down, and no one else who's hit by it feels the effect.
The owner of the targeted character determines JUST how well the person reactions to the attack. there MUST be a reaction, but it is up to the discretion of the Character's owner. It can be as little of an effect as they would like. This attack is intended to sway a person from being completely broken down about what's happening, to more.. Slightly uncomfortable.
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Accompanying Acclimation!
Same thing as before, same slight feeling of better reacting to the situation, except now it's an AOE, in a radius of 10 feet around Genbu (10 feet in all directions with Genbu being the center point). The attack lasts about 30 seconds inside of the AOE, and if someone steps out of it, they have 5 seconds of the waning effect, before they are back to how they are feeling before.
It can be used twice, and moves around with Genbu. If Genbu runs 8 feet to the right, the AOE moves 8 feet to the right.
Eternal Sailor Attack: Adaptation Finalization!
After years of watching and waiting and learning and eons of changes to make life better, it has all come to FRUITION!
Genbu twirls in a huge blast of white light, and changes ONE aspect of her Fuku to provide a Benefit against her Enemy. It can be pulled from the list below.
Gloves - become sticky, to better grasp onto a target Wings - Become stiffer, so that quick turns at close range causes injury (like bruises or cuts, if she drops herself on a person, the wings are like heavy stones) Heels - COME OFF! (lol) increased speed, only enough to keep up with one, close range teleportation (General teleports 20 feet away, she gets there with a 2 second delay) Tiara - becomes glasses, becoming like night-vision, able to see certain auras around her, through walls, up high. Chaos is a Neon blue, Order is a gentle grass green. Fuku - becomes hard, like a shell (reference to Genbu the Black Tortoise) Blows to the body are less likely to do lasting damage.
The effect lasts 20 Seconds, and can only be used Once per enemy. The person who controls the enemy CAN determine which effect happens, OR generate a random number using gaia posts.
History:
Basic Hokulani's History: Born and raised in DC, though Her parents are from Hawaii, originally. Her father was Native Hawaiian, and her mother was Japanese. They both are out and about the country as guest lecturers in the animal studies and the Theory of Adaptation, so she lives in DC with her grandparents, who spoil her to death.
Senshi Team History
((c: We are open to crit with regards to if the ideas in () could work with shop regulations.))
(Their ancestors, the original carriers of the powers, each had a symbol of their battle, a brooch that they hung at their waists. When it was time, the accessory was passed down by the carrier to their child and so forth. Now, four girls have them, given to them upon their thirteenth birthdays, and told only this: that they have been passed down in the family so long; that no one remembers what they were for; and "If you don't know before you pass it on to your eldest daughter on her thirteenth birthday, it's not yours."
Who would know? Three words that comprise quite a query.
When an eldest daughter turns thirteen and the parent who holds the heirloom still doesn't know its purpose, the heirloom is to be given to their daughter. And if the daughter figures out what it's for before her own eldest daughter turns thirteen then that heirloom is meant for her to keep.
However, another truth of this matter is that it was long ago that these four families were separated. )
There was an exhibit focusing around myths of the ancient world at one of Destiny City's museums and one of them was the ancient story of the Dragons of the Sea, the four cardinal directions.
Four girls were drawn to it who got to talking together.
And they hit it off really well! Who would have thought they would get along in such a short span of moments of time the way that they had? Yet, that is what had happened. And of course, it was then that they learned they all attend Meadowview High School, oh, coincidences, coincidences!
(What contributed as well to bringing these girls together is that they also found it interesting that they have the same kind of accessory that is their family heirlooms. 'OMG I HAVE ONE TOO,' 'Oh I have that too in a different color,' 'me too,' and so on were among the phrases of their conversation that they exchanged between themselves with regards to this added coincidence!)
Their talks kept going, and they decided to also chat and relax at the local juice bar across the street from the museum.
So, it's a no-brainer that the four of them became great friends!
But, in addition to all this, they were also magically drawn together, very literally to boot!
Each's a senshi!
They didn't all awaken together or by the same order cat either. Brioche's one of the order cats. Some of these girls received feline advice to look for their teammates and that they'll know when they find them to join forces. How they teamed up was staggered. At one point, two of them encountered the same foe. At another point, one tried to defend and protect against an attack and unexpectedly theirs wasn't the only transformation. And there was the time an order cat, with knowing that there are those who have powered forms among this group of four friends, approached and awakened a new teammate during a meet-up.
They became Team Senryaku!
The inspiration of their team name includes that in Japanese it means strategy or tactics and is also like a blend of their senshi names.
Hobbies: Hiking: Kim loves to hike, anywhere, anyway. She loves the physical challenge and will go the distance. She hikes with her family, her mom and her brother. Her father was an extreme hiker, that shared his love for nature with his family, until his death from the the posion of a massive coral snake bite seven years ago. His last wish was that they not give up they not give their love of because of these. Kim spearheaded the return to 5 years ago, because it helped keep the love of her father alive. Trail Biking: When Kim isn't hiking or doing homework, she can be found riding her bike on mountain trails. This helps to prune away extra energy, both negative and postive. It also gives her some alone time, to think through difficult decisions, and to power through overwhelming emotions. And it also, with the hiking, helps her keeps in shape. Virtues: Passion: Kim has a passion of fire that ignites when anyone is wronged. She will fight until the wrong is righted, and until justice is served, even if she feels she has to do it herself, in her own way. The fire burns away any fear. Loyalty: Bonds may be hard to create for Kim, but once created, they are pretty darn hard to break. Her family, her friends -none of them can escape her loyalty, as she will go the ends of the Earth and beyond for them. Flaws: Anger: Kim has a passion that ignites, but has trouble putting out the flames, before trouble arises. The fire burns away any consicous thought, and at times she hurts the ones she loves and/or is trying to protect. Problems with Authority: Kim doesn't trust just anyone with authority - sometimes one has to prove to her that they have good reason to be authority figures. Kim has good reason for this - she was adopted 3 times, and her biological parents, and every set of foster parents and 2 sets of adopted parents did not need to be parents - They all made really bad decisions that Kim in different ways. Once Kim's Trust is earned, she'll trust the specific authority, almost no matter what - but break it once, and that authority may never see her trust again. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Team: Four Prevailing Winds (ZaiaFantasy, Parue, [Mistress Morbid] and Litian)
Name: Mi-Hi Harrington
Nickname: Mi-Hi is pretty short, but she will also answer to Minny and Jade nicknames her Mouse
Age: 16
Birthday: 20 March
Sign: Pisces (Pisces-Aries cusp)
Gemstone: Aquamarine
Blood Type: A+
Fav. Food: Home-made tofu and her mother’s battered prawns and chilli
Hated Food: Celery and Celeriac, the latter to her mind being pretty much an overgrown celery
School: Meadoview High School
Hobbies:
Pottery -- Mi-Hi really enjoys working with clay and using it to create something that is not only serviceable, but also pretty and whilst she likes working with the potters wheel best, she also enjoys building pieces by hand as she finds it soothing.
Mi-Hi takes classes once a month at a local pottery and is also part of the school pottery club and she often volunteers to run the club stall during club open day activities.
Singing -- Singing is another of those things that Mi-Hi really enjoys doing, although she does it for the fun of it, having no real interest in being competitive. She will often hum along quietly to herself when knitting or working on her clay pieces and is part of the school choir.
She also always makes sure to go to the annual carol service at Christmas-time as she loves singing carols.
Mahjong -- Mahjong is something of a relatively new hobby for Mi-Hi and one that she’s only been at for about 4 months or so.
She initially took it up after her grandfather died as a way of understanding him in part through the game that he loved so much, but ended up becoming interested in the game in its own right and whilst she is neither a natural at the game or the most skilled player of the game, she puts her heart into her game and has a lot of fun playing with her friends.
When her friend Jade made the decision to set up a small Mahjong club at Meadowview, Mi-Hi didn’t need much - and by ‘much’ read any - convincing to join and since joining up has rarely missed a session.
Virtues:
Optimistic -- Mi-Hi is a self-admitted glass half full girl, doing her best to always try and look on the bright side of things.
When things go wrong, she does her best to try and find ways in which to salvage the situation and even in cases when the situation turns out to be unsalvageable, she does her best to try and find at least one positive.
It’s not that Mi-Hi doesn’t have bad days, because everyone does, however she believes that facing things with a smile is so much better than defaulting to doom and gloom.
Honest -- Whilst not the type to be deliberately brutal when telling the truth, Mi-Hi tends to avoid lying - including white lies.
In part it’s because she is not only a lousy liar, but she also knows she’s a lousy liar and in part it’s because she truly believes that honest is the best policy.
It means that people tend to know exactly where they are with her as what you see with Mi-Hi is what you get.
Flaws:
Easy-to-read -- Mi-Hi is pretty much an open book when it comes to her feelings with her mood at the time easily read from her expression. It’s gotten her into trouble when she’s done something that she knows she shouldn’t, with the inevitably guilty expression on her face giving her away each and every time.
It also makes for her most definitely not being the person who you want to rely on to come up with any cover stories - unless the aim of the cover story is to ‘broadcast your guilt’.
Overly generous -- Whilst generosity is on the whole generally a good thing, Mi-Hi has a tendency to take it to the extreme. She is the type who tends to fall easily to other people’s sob stories and they don’t even have to be good sob stories to the extent that she would think nothing about giving away the coat off her back to someone who she thinks would need it more, even if it then left her having to shiver her way to school until she (or rather her parents) manage to buy a new coat.
There is also many a time where she has had to beg lunch money from her friends because she has given away her lunch and is broke from having given her allowance away.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Eyes: Soft green - similar to the dream colour [here], slightly tilted, small beauty spot just below far edge of her right eye
Hair: Black, styled similarly to [this], tends to accessorise with alice bands or hair clips
Face: Heart-shaped, high cheek bones.
Clothes: Meadowview school uniform
Senshi: Seiryuu of the East
Challenge: The East Wind is calling with a promise of our victory!
Attacks:
Sailor Scout Attack: Seiryuu’s Luck When Seiryuu calls on her magic, a breeze blows in from the east, leaving a sensation of warm dampness across the skin of the one targeted by the magic that feels almost as if it’s about to rain.
Magical effect: Whilst the effects of the magic is not immediately apparent, a connected attack will boost the target’s luck for the duration of the attack. This allows for an attack (physical or magical) to hit better than expected (for a boost of 10%) or for their dodge to be improved (for a boost of 10%). The magic will do one or the other. It will not do both.
Target: 1 ally or Seiryuu Duration: 15 seconds Usage: Twice, but not on the same person
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Seiryuu’s Blessing When Seiryuu calls on her magic, a breeze blows in from the east, leaving a sensation of warm dampness across the skin of the one(s) targeted by the magic that feels almost as if it’s about to rain.
Magical effect: Whilst the effects of the magic is not immediately apparent, a connected attack will boost the luck of the target(s) for the duration of the attack. This allows for an attack (physical or magical) to hit better than expected (for a boost of 10% if affecting one person or 5% if affecting more than one person) or for their dodge to be improved (for a boost of 10% if affecting one person or 5% if affecting more than one person). The magic will do one or the other. It will not do both.
Target: Up to 3 allies (2 closest Order auras to Seiryuu within a five foot radius + Seiryuu herself) Duration: 30 seconds/ 1 ally, 15 seconds/ 2 allies, 10 seconds/ 3 allies Usage: Normally once, but Seiryuu can pull off a second use in dire circumstances if she has previously only used the attack on herself
Eternal Sailor Attack: Seiryuu’s Strength When Seiryuu calls on her magic, a breeze blows in from the east and blows around her twice, before coalescing into the form of a large and ethereal dragon, behind and slightly to the side of her.
The dragon roars sending a gust of wind towards the target before fading away. If the wind connects, it will envelop the target, forming an ethereal outline in the shape of a blue dragon around them, and will temporarily grant them the graceful strength of a dragon.
If Seiryuu is alone when this attack is used then the gust of wind from the dragon’s roar will envelop her instead, forming an ethereal outline in the shape of a blue dragon around her and will temporarily grant her the graceful strength of a dragon.
Magical effect: For the duration of the magic, the target will feel stronger (for a boost of 7%) and more graceful (for a boost of 7%) and will appear to have the ethereal outline of a blue asian dragon around them. Target: 1 ally or Seiryuu Duration: 30 seconds Usage: Normally once, although in desperate situations Seiryuu can pull off a second use, however this will be incredibly draining on her and she will not be able to use it on the same person twice
Fav. Food: Pumpkin Spice Latte. Those count right.
Hated Food: ...What.
School: Meadowview High School
Hobbies:
Mischief Making: While she doesn't always get away with it, Aniu finds it quiet amusing and all in good fun. Even if the other person doesn't quite thing so. Aniu does just about anything. From taking things and sticking them in random out of the way places to shooting people with water guns when they arn't looking to spooking someone with a bug. Small practical joke type things. That being said, she never tries to be a bully or cause intentional harm. All she wants is harmless fun. However, if it turns out to cause harm or really upset someone Aniu will apologizes till the cows come home and do whatever she can to cheer that person up.
Green Thumb: Aniu LOOOOOOOOOOVES plants. She's taken over the back yard (most of it) and various parts of the house to grow things. Aniu mostly grows things like fruits, veggies and various seasonings and spices. But she has occasionally been known to bring home the ocassional flowering plant just for something different. She takes extreme care of what she plants and will give it to neighbors or friends if she's grown too much.
Virtues:
Sociable: Aniu is a social butterfly. She has no problems going up to people and just striking up a conversation. Aniu could know you for a minute and she'd talk to you like she's know you her whole life. She'll sit with you whether you need to rant and rave about something that happened of even if you don't want to talk. It's all about being there for someone. After the first meeting, you're basically family to her. You just got adopted son.
Upbeat: This girl is always smiling. She's just a cheerful girl. There's nothing wrong with that right? She is always trying to cheer up her friends, and she will drag them around and do all sorts of wacky shenanigans until they are laughing and smiling right along with her.
Flaws:
Over Her Head: Aniu is bound to have her moments. She tends to get in over her head sometimes. Aniu is by no means cocky or over confident, she just thinks she can handle it. It's often a simple mistake. One anyone can have. Sometimes she ends up dragging a friend down with him. Aniu didn't mean to, it just happened. Some times it can be a case of she agrees to do too much, and then doesn't know what to do first. This can be dangerous at times, especially when She gets a wild hair and decided to go balls to the wall like "I'M GOING TO DO THE THING." "NO ANIU DON'T DO THE THING." And then said thing backfiring.
Burn Out: Sometimes, Aniu just crashes, though it could either be herself OR those around her. Her energy levels can sometimes get the best of herself, and others and grate on nerves. Some people, when really annoyed with Aniu, will consider her to be the embodiment of fatigue. She doesn't always know when to calm down and take things slow.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Eyes: Oraaaaaaange
Hair: Brown, in a funky updo. Has orange tips on some of her bangs.
Face:
Clothes:REFERENCE ...Her freckles obviously would not be orange... xD And she wouldn't need the bucket.
---
Senshi: Genbu (The Senshi of North)
Challenge: I bring new meaning to the cold shoulder
Attacks:
Sailor Scout Attack: North Wind Strike Genbu punches her target, and single icy cold blast of air surges forward and both knocks back, as well as knocks the wind out of her opponent. This attack works on a single target and she can only use this three times. This attack has no time limit as it's instantaneous. She says the name and punches the ground. Her magic runs out once her uses are up.
Super Sailor Scout Attack: North Wind Blast A stronger version of the attack above, however know when the icy blast hits her opponent and anyone in a 6 foot radius from the punch. on top of getting the wind knocked from them, they feel as though they've come down with a chill that they can't exactly shake. This time however, Genbu only has two uses. It once again has no time limit, and as soon as she's used her two times, Genbu has to resort to other measures.
Eternal Sailor Attack: North Wind Shattering This time, Genbu punches the ground. It acts as an epicenter as the wind surges forward. The ground now shatters and cracks, much like an earthquake. This attack can only be used once and affects anyone in an 8 foot radius from the punch. This leaves the ground has a hazard, and people will have to watch their step lest they want to eat shattered concrete.
Reading Arcadia has a very deep love for books and enjoys getting lost in the vast adventures of whatever tale is at her fingertips. She normally sticks to action packed fictional novels but she will read anything from non fiction, sci-fi, manga or fantasy. When she’s reading it’s kind of her time and she can forget about the world around her and lose herself in the story of whatever character she’s reading about. She finds that with each new adventure she has a bit more to say about things as her vocabulary becomes a bit more elaborate with each novel and her imagination a bit more extensive.
Crocheting Arcadia likes to crochet. She finds it puts her restless mind to ease when she’s feeling a little overwhelmed with things. The only thing she’s really good at is a basic double or single and she mostly makes them for family or friends. She never does it for money. Just something to pass the time when she needs to think or doesn’t feel well.
Cosplaying Arcadia is one of those closet nerds that doesn’t openly broadcast that she has a love for most of the fictional characters in the world. She wouldn’t deny it if someone were to ask her, but she just doesn’t speak about it unless you get her going, or happen to run into her at a renaissance fair, cosplay convention, comic con or even a Blizz con. She very much enjoys dressing up as some of her favorite superheroes or characters from her favorite book or video games. When she cosplays she doesn’t have to worry about being herself and is much more open and inviting as she can be whoever she wants.
Trekking She loves to spend her time outdoors and finds she can do her other hobbies while out hiking some of her favorite trails. There are quite a few spots in which she will set up camp for the weekend and enjoy her peace and quiet while reading a book or sketching out her most recent designs for her next cosplay costume.
Virtues:
Helpful -- Arcadia likes to help out whenever she can and is often found volunteering for just about anything, even the things people don’t want to do. Someone has to do them right? She is also that girl you see holding the door open for someone or offering to walk a little old lady across the street. People will often come to her with requests if they need help moving, or doing a certain project because they know she’ll help out. She will do this cheerfully, making her not only helpful, but pleasant about it to boot because she does it with a glad heart.
Supportive -- Arcadia will be and is one of the most supportive people you will meet. She will support a friends or family members decision if that’s truly the path they want to take. She will voice her opinion on the matter but she won’t press her values onto them hoping they change their mind. She believes that everyone has their own choice in a matter and she is just there to back them up and be there for them when they are in need. She is also very eager to listen if someone comes to her with an issue and just needs a shoulder to lean on. She’s also that friend you can call at 2 in the morning and she’ll be right over or talk on the phone if that’s all you need.
Nice -- Arcadia is a genuinely nice person. She thinks nothing of showing her friends she cares by leaving little notes in their lockers, bringing them tea or soup when their sick, and being empathetic to their emotions. This overall pleasant personality helps her by giving her a warm-hearted feel and a welcoming presence. When she meets new people she will often greet them with a warm smile and a friendly hello and when around her friends she will always try to be generous, because she’s so nice. Her kindness usually makes people feel at ease and welcomed when around her. Flaws:
A Little Too Nice – Arcadia is one of those people that never refuses someone when help is requested, even if it’s terribly inconvenient or the cost is high some way. This allows her to be easily taken advantage of, or to be taken for granted, all the while telling herself that she is offering this help in order to “be nice”. Because of this Arcadia often gets overwhelmed emotionally and starts to shut down since she doesn’t want to say no when someone asks her for help. This aspect about her makes her overwork herself since she'll stay late to help at a job and sometimes people think she's being a suck up or trying to gain favors with others when she's really just trying to help. This also causes people to think she might be too nice emotionally to handle something serious.
Explosive – She has this thing where she likes to hold stuff in to the point that she finally explodes. This normally happens after a long period of time and the person she lashes out at usually doesn’t deserve it. She let’s all these big or little things that bother go unsaid until she finally snaps and usually it’s because of something as simple as someone chewing with their mouth open or tapping their fingers against a table. Because of this people thing she has an anger problem when she has these moments, but that’s really not the case. She just doesn’t address the things that bother her when they come up like she should and she eventually can’t hold back her emotions any longer. She’ll apologize to the person she snapped on later after she’s cooled off, she just doesn’t know how to confront her emotions.
Spacey – “Did I tell you about the time I-- Oh look! Shiney object!.. My mom told me this...” In a nutshell our Arcadia is a little spacey and has a very short attention span. She IS actually a very bright girl, it’s just that sometimes she just doesn’t get things right away, let alone focus on what you’re trying to tell her sometimes. This is mainly because her brain works too fast for her to process anything so she kind of takes a minute to catch up and realize what’s going on. So while everyone else is on page 1 she’s on page 3 trying to back pedal and figure out what she missed. Most people think she’s lost in the sauce because of this but that’s really not the case. She also has a hard time grasping onto phrases or situations with double meanings. Like if someone compliments her but is flirting with her, she’s going to think it as just a compliment and say thanks and that be all. Or you could be talking about her or to her and she won’t realize it right away and pretend that she knows exactly what you’re saying until she finally catches on and says “OH! I understand now.” The same thing could go for negative comments in a positive light, such as “Oh that’s a nice bracelet you have there.” When they really think it’s hideous. She’s going to think you mean it sincerely and say thank you in return.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Eyes:Seafoam green (the color she already has), in a roundish almond shape, I kinda like the look of the eyes she has right now.
Hair: A whiteish silver with black mixed into it like hair , more hair, haair, another picture of hair and the style is going to be a combination of these two photos. A long (lower back length) curly yet wavier look with a couple twists? Whatever you think looks good. I would like long layered bangs though, that doesn't cover her circlet.
Face: Ovalish. Double earrings on each side with simple diamond studs.
Clothes: School Uniform
Senshi: Byakko, Senshi of the West
The spheres correspond like this: Regina as Seiryuu, Senshi of the East Kesara as Suzaku, Senshi of the South Arcadia as Byakko, Senshi of the West Connie as Genbu, Senshi of the North
Challenge: "Together we are Spectrum Force!”
Attacks:
Sailor Scout Attack: Byakko’s Western Tiger Swipe. Byakko shouts the name of her attack while pointing at her target. As she does this a pair of tiger paws appear and swipe at the enemy causing magical wounds that cut into the opponent; no physical wounds appear from this attack, just the pain is felt. This attack can be directed at no more than one opponent at a time. Once the attack is over the pain from the invisible wounds vanish. This attack can be countered by either a dodge, placing someone else in its path or using a blocking spell. This would cause the attack to miss, hit someone else, or it’s blocked entirely. This attack is good for a six foot radius and lasts 20 seconds. Byakko can only summon it twice during battle. Super Sailor Scout Attack: Byakko’s Western Tiger Maul Byakko shouts the name of her attack while pointing at her target. As she does this a pair of tiger paws appear and thrashes wildly at the enemy causing magical wounds that cut into the opponent; no physical wounds appear from this attack. This attack can be directed at no more than two opponents at a time. Once the attack is over the pain from the invisible wounds vanish. This attack can be countered by either a dodge, placing someone else in its path or using a blocking spell. This would cause the attack to miss, hit someone else, or it’s blocked entirely. This attack is good for a six foot radius and lasts 30 seconds. Byakko can only summon it twice during battle.
Eternal Sailor Attack: Byakko’s Western Tiger Dance Byakko shouts the name of her attack while pointing at her target. As she does this a spell circle appears around the affected in the form of white flames with what looks like partial silhouettes of tigers dancing in them. This barrier prevents its captives from being able to attack for the duration of the spell. This attack can be countered by placing another person in its path or placing a solid object between Byakko’s attack and the person it’s aimed for. If the enemy tries to pass through the barrier it will feel as though you are being burned by fire but the pain will vanish as soon as the spell is finished. This attack is good for 45-60 seconds and can only be used once during battle.
Team: Spectrum Force (ZaiaFantasy, Lithiasaur, AstoriaFallen, Cajanic)
Name: Kesara Akaari
Nickname: Keke - her friends call her “failwhale”, but always affectionately, of course
Age: 15
Birthday: April 1st
Sign: Aries
Gemstone: Diamond
Blood Type: O +
Fav. Food: Spicy Moroccan food, anything in a Tagine
Hated Food: pork. It’s just...not good.
School: Meadowview High School
Hobbies:
Writing - Keke loves to write. Her passion is persuasive essays and would be a natural for the debate team if not for her problem with public speaking (see Inarticulate below). She has a blog that she keeps full of her observations and essays and hopes one day to condense them into a short collection for a book.
Cosplay - Keke loves to sew. She also loves her fandoms. She keeps her Tumblr chock full of her fellow cosplayers and fangeeks alike. So it was only natural that she get into cosplaying. She has a group of friends that she cosplays with, each one responsible for their own costumes. They do photo shoots, coordinate, and generally have fun together. Their themes can change from year to year and she is always eager to see what they come up with and what other groups and individuals do as well.
Sewing - Because of her ability to screw up seemingly easy tasks sewing anything takes Keke twice as long and twice as much work as anyone else but she never gets frustrated. She loves seeing things come together and even if she has to redo a seam here or reverse the zipper there she will keep sewing costumes, pillows, and everything else. Joann’s Fabrics is her favorite store and her blank sewing table is a new canvas for her to cover with something beautiful.
Conventions - Not just fan conventions for her cosplays, Keke genuinely loves conventions, all conventions. She likes meeting people and learning about things she may not be exposed to otherwise. Who better to learn from than the people that gather for this thing by choice? If she can she will look for conventions in her area or even a short distance away and will spend random weekends there to take in all she can.
Virtues:
Optimistic -- Keke is ever an optimist. She would like to believe that the world is a beautiful and wonderful place. She also believes the best in herself and her friends, despite her failings and disappointments. She soldiers on, refusing to let the past color her future. Every morning she wakes and truly believes it will be a good day. When she stumbles, she will laugh at herself and get back up. When she “pulls a Keke” (see clumsy below) she will laugh along with the crowd and believe that they are all laughing with her, not at her.
Friendly -- Keke will approach every situation and everyone with an open and friendly smile. She believes that a stranger is a friend she simply hasn’t met yet and will act accordingly. She often goes out of her way to show people that she cares for them, even if they have never met, and will usually never be rude or mean. She will only be closed off if precedent has shown she should be, otherwise HUGS ALL AROUND!
Adaptive -- Because she is such a failwhale Keke has learned how to adapt to most any situation. She’s very good at processing new information and adding it to the flow of current information in order to get a new outcome. Her recovery time is pretty spectacular, too. Count on her to find new ways around new problems and to change her strategy as she goes. After all, life doesn’t tend to get boring when she’s around. Her friends look to her for creative solutions to their problems and rely on her to be the voice of good humor and reason when things go wrong. When it rains at the picnic, Keke will find the rainbow and picnic on.
Entertaining -- Keke is, at least she hopes so, an entertaining person. She likes regaling her friends with funny stories, showing them cool new videos, and spending her time going out and doing fun things. Her friends know to come to her when they are bored and she will find something for them to do and it might be something they never thought of. She believes that part of being good company is to make sure everyone is having a good time and will strive for that, even at her own expense (making jokes about her clumsiness, etc)
Flaws:
Clumsy -- Keke is stupidly clumsy. She trips over her own two feet for no reason at all at the best of times. She is impossible to take anywhere because something -always- happens to embarrass her and everyone she’s with. It’s not like she has a good excuse for it, like an inner ear thing or something like that. She’s just 100% naturally clumsy and can leave chaos in her wake no matter where she goes. People tend to give her a super wide berth if they know anything about her at all, just in case. Her reputation proceeds her to the point of becoming local slang.
Keke - n. - an action of intense clumsiness that causes embarrassment to self and at least one other person. eg. “Keith just pulled a Keke with the punch bowl! It’s all over Sarah’s dress.” or v. - to act in such a way as to cause embarrassment to yourself. eg. “Look at Keith Kekeing on the dance floor. I can’t wait to put the video on Youtube.”
Inarticulate -- Keke is actually very smart though you’d never know it from talking to her. She just can’t...word...a lot of the time. She will spend several awkward seconds clamoring for a simple word when in conversation or screw up her phrasing which often leads people to believe she’s just not that bright. Keke also has problems trying to convey her ideas, getting tongue-tied when she tries. She’s terrible at getting her point across unless someone has been around her long enough to “speak Keke.” Only her writing shows her true potential with the English language.
Gullible -- Because she is an optimist, Keke will always want to believe the best in people. This also means that Keke is easy to take advantage of. She will believe what people tell her at face value and will often put herself in bad situations because of it. She simply won’t know she’s being taken advantage of until it’s too late. She will always easily forgive people that have hurt or taken advantage of her if they give her even a halfway plausible excuse, setting herself up to be hurt again. Her friends will always try to tell her that she shouldn’t be so trusting but she finds it hard to be any other way because she believes that to start off not believing the best in people will make her harden her heart and that is no way to live.
Invasive -- Because she cares, Keke wants to know everything about everyone. She does not think twice of asking personal questions, even to strangers. She will also often miss (or ignore) physical and verbal clues that a person may be closed off to her questions or the conversation topic. Keke also lacks the concept of a “personal bubble” and doesn’t mind getting super close to people. She believes that friends share everything and will genuinely not understand that there are some things even friends don’t want to talk about. This can lead to arguments, annoyance, and hurt feelings on both sides.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Eyes: Spring Green
Hair: Long wavy brown hair with red tips down to her knees like the new Gaia item: Magical Sugar Star Kiss Curls
Sailor Scout Attack: Suzaku’s Southern Sweep Sukau shouts the name of her attack. As she does beautiful and large (about 7 feet from wing tip to wing tip) bird wings appear behind her, as if part of her fuku. As they beat the wings let off an intense and warm air current affecting all enemies up to 7 feet in a spray in front of her. Any enemy within a 7 foot semicircle in front of Suzaku is affected. How they choose to be affected (startled, distracted, intimidated, slowed, scared, etc) is up to the player so long as it is some negative effect. Enemies may be able to leave the area of effect but it may be difficult to because of the wind. The wind lasts for 20 seconds and Suzaku can summon it twice per battle.
Because it is a warm, constant wind it may also have added physical effects such as stirring up dust around everyone, enemies and allies alike. Suzaku has no control over this.
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Suzaku’s Simmering Southern Sweep Suzaku shouts the name of her attack and the wings appear as before, except they are now larger (about 10 feet from wingtip to wingtip) and appear to be covered by more red. They beat and affect enemies in a 10 foot semicircle in front of her. The wind is now stronger and hotter than before, almost making the air shimmer as it would on an intensely hot summer day. How enemies choose to be affected are entirely player’s choice, so long as it is some negative effect. Enemies may be able to leave the area of effect to escape the wind but it may be difficult to because of the intensity. The wind lasts for 30 seconds and Suzaku can summon it twice per battle.
Because it is a hot, constant wind it may also have added physical effects such as stirring up dust around everyone, enemies and allies alike, or limiting the effectiveness of cold based magic in the semi circle, good or bad. Suzaku has no control over this.
Eternal Sailor Attack: Suzaku’s Sweltering Southern Storm Suzaku shouts the name of her attack and a fast moving, swelteringly hot wind blows in from the South in the wake of a large red shimmering outline of a bird. In a 10 foot radius around Suzaku the wind kicks up in a hot and steady torrent. This wind in the circle affects allies or enemies and kicks up the dust making it hard to see, breathe, move, or otherwise creating hot, sticky havoc. How this plays out with those in the radius is up to them, so long as it affects them negatively. It creates the same circumstances as a high powered sand storm.
Because it is a hot, constant wind it may also have added physical effects such as limiting the effectiveness of cold based magic in the radius, good or bad. Suzaku has no control over this.

Team: Four Prevailing Winds (ZaiaFantasy, Parue, [MistressMorbid] and Litian)
Name: Mailei “Jade” Xu
Nickname: She goes by Jade, just Jade
Age: 18
Birthday: Aug 26th
Sign: Virgo
Gemstone: Sapphire
Blood Type: O -
Fav. Food: Ramen: the good kind, not the packets
Hated Food: packaged ramen
School: Meadowview High School
Hobbies:
Scrapbooking -Scrapbooking appeals to Jade’s meticulous nature. She can spend hours bent over a page preserving that memory exactly how she wants to. She is always on the lookout for new and inventive ways to present her ideas and keeps these scrapbooks for everyone to look at in her room and through her home. Her mother uses them to “showup” when company comes over. She can often be found at craft stores and she enters scrapbooking contests at the county fair and in other places as well.
Swimming - Jade loves to swim. Something about being alone in the water, each stroke making her stronger and bringing her closer to the other side, makes her happy and at peace. She prefers swimming in swimming pools, due to a bad experience she had at the lake once, but can spend many hours in the water. She especially likes those hours at dawn where the water is smooth and there are very few people there to disturb her.
Cooking - Jade loves to cook. She especially likes making the dishes of her childhood, often throwing dinner parties for her friends and showing off what she has learned to make. Her mother had her in the kitchen at a young age and she grew there, her tasks getting progressively more complicated as she grew until she could make complex meals on her own. She also teaches a youth cooking program after school to put on her college application. She teaches children (10-14 years of age) how to maneuver around a kitchen with basic skills making simple, healthy, and yummy meals.
Mahjong - Jade grew up playing Mahjong, and not the computer kind. Her mother taught her how to play when she was young and she rallied until she started a mahjong club at school. It’s a small club, but this part of her culture is important to her. She will play with her friends and is always open to teaching people how to play. The club meets twice a week for an hour after school and she gets to spend a nice time with her friends laughing and playing.
Virtues:
Cheerleader -- Because she demands so much of herself and others (see Exacting below) Jade can be a great motivator. It never occurs to her that people can do less than their absolute best. She will tell you, with absolute certainty, that you can do whatever it is you say you want to do. She will be by your side and keep to that belief the entire time. Even if you don’t think you can do it, she knows you can and will not let that belief falter. Her friends come to her when they’re feeling down and she will cheer them up again because she believes they are truly awesome people.
Kind -- Jade will go out of her way to think of others. She is not perfect, but she will always try her best to be kind to people. She will show her friends that she cares for them by doing sweet things like leaving them uplifting messages or texts, bringing them cute gifts, or doing something nice for them for no reason at all. Though she can’t always help herself she will also try to be considerate of other’s people’s feelings, beliefs, and aspirations. She treats strangers with kindness, too, taking care with people’s feelings especially if they look like they need a little kindness.
Ambitious -- Jade is super ambitious. She wants to be successful in her life and has made a step by step plan to get into college, graduate, and be a partner in a law firm by the time she’s thirty. The law appeals to her exacting nature. Whatever her undertaking she will make the best of it, believing that any task she completes is another one crossed off the list to bring her closer to her goals. She is not the person to settle for mediocre when she can strive to be better.
Organized -- Everything in Jade’s life is organized. Her room, books, school work, names, and dates are all locked away for her to access any time she needs to. Because of Jade’s meticulous nature friends often come to her for help or to find something they are missing. Her organized nature also makes Jade handy to have in emergency situations since she will let her nature kick in, trying to organize a solution rather than give into blind panic.
Flaws:
a**l Retentive -- Jade cannot stand when things are out of place. She must have everything just so in order for her universe to function as well as she would like. She is always on top of time management and her possessions and gets very upset (if not downright unlivable) when they are out of order. She does not, as her friends so often tell her, take a chill pill and just relax. She’s incapable. Meaner acquaintances accuse her of having a stick up her rear end, and maybe that’s so, but better that than let everything descend into chaos.
Superstitious -- Jade’s mother was raised in a very small village in Yungtsing, China. She only came to America when her husband decided to once they were married. The culture was a shock and her mother never quite adapted to the progressive American standards. She taught Jade the traditional Chinese rules, customs, and superstitions. As a result Jade sees bad luck and danger in everything. Her mother raised her to believe that even the smallest things, like hanging a mirror near the foot of her bed, can bring disastrous consequences.
Though her conscious mind knows that this is just superstition she cannot bring herself to forsake these thoughts. When in the company of her friends she will find herself parroting these ideas and being a bit of a stick in the mud. She will warn them of the same dangers her mother has drilled into her own head without really thinking about it and the impact it might have on an otherwise fun outing. She has complex guidelines to follow for her own safety and this makes her an easy target to be made fun of.
Acerbic -- Jade’s tongue can drip poison when she’s in the right mood or, rather, the wrong one. Her tone can range from sarcastic, her default, to downright venomous, depending on the circumstances and what her mood is. To people that are not prepared for this, or even for people that are, her words can be quite painful. She does not censor herself and often what she says comes across as cold, cruel, harsh, or mean. She may feel contrite about it later, but that does not save her victim in the moment.
Exacting -- Jade demands the very best of herself and others. Though this might have been a good trait to have, she often takes it a step too far, pushing her friends and loved ones beyond what they can manage or to be just like her. Unfortunately, she also forces this upon her friends whenever she is around them. They will have to all keep to her definition of how things -should- be, and this often brings contention to the group. God help her partners in any school project as she will have to have things done her way or her ability to cope (especially with more than one person) will go downhill, quickly, and she will complain, fuss, argue, and otherwise be unpleasant until some sort of solution can be reached.
Face: Heart shaped with a beauty mark just below her left eye toward the side of her face
Clothes: Jade has a very prim style with a heavy influence of traditional Chinese culture. She does not show a lot of skin but she does like wearing dresses. Her makeup is light, but pretty and tasteful.
Senshi: Suzaku
Challenge: Let the South Wind soothe your soul...
Attacks:
Sailor Scout Attack: Suzaku’s Soothing South Wind Suzaku chooses a target and speaks the name of the attack. Immediately a gentle wind comes in from the south and surrounds the target. The wind brings with it a sense of vitality and healing. It envelopes the target and stays with them while the attack lasts, about 10 seconds, and keeps them feeling these soothing things. These feelings can be shown however the target would like in game play: providing a temporary boost, soothing pain, providing confidence, focus, etc. When the attack is over the wind dissipates. This may not physically heal injuries but may provide temporary relief from them. Suzaku can use this attack thrice per battle.
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Suzaku’s Serene South Wind Second verse same as the first, only now Suzaku may choose two targets. The effect lasts 20 seconds per use and she may only use it twice per battle. The effect of the wind is still to soothe and heal and players may still have this play out however they feel is right in game play, provided it falls under the heading of healing and revitalizing. It may not actually heals wounds, only provide temporary relief from them.
Eternal Sailor Attack: Suzaku’s Sacred South Wind Suzaku calls the name of her attack and beautiful chimes sound, as well as a gentle breeze blows in from the south. It envelops the target infusing them with a sense of peace and serenity and surrounds them with a wind barrier. It protects them from both attacking and being attacked by magic or physical force for as long as it lasts. If someone tries to attack the target or leave this perimeter from within, they will be blown back by the wind. While they are in the circle minor wounds may be healed (cuts, scrapes, etc) and they may get relief from the pain of bigger wounds, though big wounds will not be healed.
The attack lasts for 25 seconds and may be called on twice. Suzaku may not target herself with this attack but may target friends or foes. The barrier blocks both good and bad magic from getting in or out for the entire duration.
Group History:
The girls have always known each other: Ann, Minny, Jade, and Chi. They grew up together in the same neighborhood very close together. The neighborhood children all played together and since they were so close in age they formed a tight bond that has lasted all of their lives. Minny is the youngest of the group and has been nicknamed Mouse by Jade, a habit that has stuck even as they’ve gotten older. Chyou is the second youngest. Aniu is oldest, but she and Jade are only a few months apart.
As the girls have gotten older their friendship has changed, each of them taking on separate interests and paths. When her grandfather died Jade started teaching Mi-hi to play mahjong, something her mother has always played with her. That gave her the idea for mahjong club at school. With it getting harder and harder to find time for each other this was something once a week they could all do. She roped her three best friends into it, which was enough because it fills up each side of the table. And, she’ll tell you, it looks good on a college application to have extracurriculars.
It was Minny that recognized their destiny first even if she didn’t know it at the time. When she got into pottery she made each of the girls a teacup with an engraving on it of one of the wind tiles from the mahjong board on it. Jade was South, Aniu North, Chyou West, and Minny was the East Wind. They used these cups at the club meetings and at parties at Jade’s house, feeling like these were their fancy cups.
Though they’d all lived in Destiny City all their lives, nothing really strange happened to them personally until one of their club meetings ran late. They were the only ones left at school, chattering and getting ready to go home. It was Aniu that spotted the cat first out the window, pointing at it streaking across the courtyard being pursued by...something. It looked almost like a dog, about the same size and general shape, but it looked too angular and greyish to be a real dog. It had the cat backed into a corner when they came to their aid.
The four girls worked hard together to get the cat away from the monster (because that was all they could think of to call it) and watched in surprise and horror as it broke apart into dust before their eyes. Things got even freakier as the cat actually began talking, thanking the girls for helping him, though it could have put them in serious danger. The cat, Liryn, recognized the potential in the girls that were willing to risk their lives for him and gave them each a henshin pin, encouraging them to power up for the first time.
Once they did they discovered new personas that corresponded to the tea cups they’d been using for a long time now: senshi of North, South, East, and West. Together they got through the initial fear. It was Minny who suggested that call themselves the Four Prevailing Winds, after their cups and the mahjong they like to play together. Together they knew they were powerful and balanced, like the winds.
Cosplay - While generally a shy person by nature, Connie loves the freedom cosplay allows her. When she’s with her friends, all dressed up in a certain theme, she doesn’t have to feel like herself, and for a few hours a day she can just cut loose and do whatever she wants. Those are moments she truly cherishes, so of course she developed a love of cosplaying. Of course, she has much more fun with her group of friends than on her own, so whenever a convention rolls around she makes sure they’re available to go to it with her first. Even making costumes is a fun experience, as she quite enjoys sewing things together and figuring out how things are going to get to that final result. No matter the theme, she does her best to ensure the group’s costumes are as cohesive as possible.
Reading - When she’s not at a convention with her friends, she’s usually tucked away somewhere quiet for some reading. She loves books of all kinds, and is always willing to give something recommended to her a try. Her favorites books are fantasy novels, where outlandish settings and larger than life characters run wild inside her imagination. She’s also quite fond of comics, mostly DC, though she tends to keep that more on the down low. Still, that was originally what had brought her out of her shell and into one of the local conventions, where she discovered her other hobbies. She loves the female heroes, like Hawkgirl and Wonder Woman, though she will read just about anything she can get her hands on, even beyond DC. (though she isn’t nearly as fond of Marvel, and she’s more than happy to explain why most of the time.)
Crafts - After getting into conventions, and cosplaying, she discovered she had a passion for making things. It started out with helping with the costumes, and expanded into more personal projects to temper her skills. She found making stuffed animals, both original and based on certain characters, enjoyable and a good way to fill some of her spare time. It also took her out of the library for a few hours a day, expanding her horizons just a little bit. While still reluctant to broadcast her skills too much, she does enjoy when she gets a chance to make a little something for someone else. She had yet to make a profit on such talents, however.
Virtues:
Mellow - Connie is an extremely laid back individual. She likes to take things slow and make sure they’re done well, and doesn’t often stress about things like deadlines and looming goals. She knows as long as everyone keeps a level head, things will end up getting done and done well, no problem. She’s often the one telling her friends not to let themselves get too worked up, even when it seems like stress is the ONLY option.
Empathetic - Because Connie is often so clear-headed, it’s very easy for her to pick up on the emotional states of those around her. She can usually tell when someone is angry or stressed out, and she will do what she can to defuse a situation. Emotions are not often something she exhibits well herself, but that has no bearing on her ability to see them in other people. She doesn’t like seeing her friends unhappy, but she also really enjoys seeing their happiness and joy. Of course, sometimes it’s not just about her friends and their emotions- strangers need to be respected, too. She will never let her friends wander in somewhere when the mood is off and their behavior might be seen as inappropriate. She does her best to mind everyone around her, friend or not.
Flexible - There isn’t much that Connie demands from those around her. She generally doesn’t have much to say, and because she’s usually very chill about things, she generally doesn’t have strong opinions on things, either. That being the case, she’s usually an extremely flexible person to work with. She’s more than happy to go along with other ideas if she doesn’t have one for herself, and always willing to listen to others and offer compromises when she does have an idea she wants to push ahead with. When working in her group, she’s never wanting to be heard, though nor does she feel like she’s falling into the background, either. She feels she offers just enough give and take to feel comfortable with what they do together without having to make any personal sacrifices in the process.
Flaws:
Shy - Never having grown up with friends, Connie became a very shy girl from an early age. Especially when it comes to speaking to new people. She tends to clam up when one on one with someone, and has a difficult time looking them in the eye. When it’s a conversation between two people, she often feels like she’s being targeted by unwanted eyes, and it makes her very uncomfortable. Being in a group, weirdly, helps her with her shyness. While she does feel that ‘everyone is looking at you’ vibe from time to time, when she’s with her friends she knows there’s a reason for that feeling. They ARE looking at her, and that happens to be the point with her cosplay costumes. Without her friends and their outfits, though, she’s much less willing to put herself out there. It was only because of them that she opened up in the first place. So good luck speaking to her!
Gullible - Connie tries to be empathetic and flexible, there are times where she can take it too far. Usually when dealing with people she’s not as comfortable being around, like those at her part-time job or at school. She can sometimes be tricked into doing the bulk of the work, people feeding off her generosity and turning it against her. While she knows this is going on, she doesn’t really let it bother her. She’s okay with getting the work done on her own, which is probably the major part of the problem. She doesn’t say no- she doesn’t mind. It’s something that can be fairly easily exploited under the right circumstances.
Soft - Bleeding heart would be putting it lightly with this one- she has a very squishy center. While it takes a lot to get her worked up, one thing that will do it for sure is someone who’s injured or in need of help. She has a pension for trying to help those in need, and it’s something else that can be easily exploited. In battle, too, it can be something of a problem. She doesn’t like to hurt others- her moves are defensive for a reason. When faced with a threat, she won’t be able to attack them herself, as she’s unwilling to cause harm. She relies heavily on her friends for the offensive side of things. Left alone, she’s likely to be the one who would let the bad guy go. She can also be tricked into thinking someone needs help when they don’t.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Eyes: - Her eyes a very vibrant shade of blue, big and innocent. (basically, what’s already there!)
Hair: - Her hair I picture to be semi-long and have a wave to it, though it would be straight for the most part. No curls. It would run just below her shoulders. Her bangs part at the middle and are not straight across her forehead, allowing the circlet to be seen! The colors would be very light! some kind of cream or white to match the lighter portions of her outfit!
Face: - A neutral [removed](as is!)
Clothes: Student!
Senshi: Genbu (The Senshi of North)
Challenge: Together, we are the Spectrum Force!
Attacks:
Sailor Scout Attack: Northern Turtle Shell! Genbu can form a small shield in the shape of a turtle shell to protect herself with. It is larger enough to protect her midsection, like a standard-sized shield, and while she can use it to block an attack on someone else, it’s not large enough to really protect more than one person at a time. It will break if it takes a direct hit from an enemy attack and only lasts about a minute on its own even without actually taking any damage.
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Northern Turtle Igloo! This attack can form a much larger shell that can protect multiple people. It is as wide as two senshi, but more are capable of hiding behind it if they want to get a little cozy together. She can also use the move to protect other senshi instead of herself, having it form in front of them. It will break if met with a direct attack from nega as strong or stronger than she is, but will stand more attacks from lower rank enemies. If it blocks an attack from someone her level, it will cancel the attack before breaking.
Eternal Sailor Attack: Northern Turtle Cold Snap! This attacks sends a gust of freezing wind towards her opponents. This wind, should it catch the enemy, can cause them to slow down and shiver, which will temporarily weaken their defenses. The weaker the opponent, the longer it takes them to recover from the biting cold. This attack does not cause permanent or physical harm.
History: Cosplay was what brought the four girls of the Spectrum Force together. Keke and Regina had known each other for years, going to conventions together, and they had met Arcadia at a local convention as well. It wasn’t until later that Connie joined the crew. It was by fortunate chance that the fourth they had recruited for a joint costume contest didn’t show and they spotted her watching them from nearby. They all but begged her to be their fourth for a group competition, and thankfully she did! They won that contest together, and from then on became an inseparable quartet. The four were thrilled to find out they all went to the same high school, though they weren’t all in the same grade or classes together. It still gave them more time to plan costumes and events with one another. The closest of nerdy friends.
Then one day, at another local convention, something terrible happened. Something attacked, people were panicking. Thankfully a guardian cat, Hadaya, was nearby, snoozing on the head of a giant stuffed mascot, and he gave henshin pens to the quartet to save the day. They already looked the part, so why not?
It was at that moment that they were awakened as a senshi team, together to fight the foe.
They took the responsibility seriously, of course, but that didn’t stop them from also having a bit of fun. It was just like a cosplay contest, and that knowledge helped them forget their fears over what was happening and fight together. They posed as a team and called out their attacks names, uniting as more than just friends- they were a real crime-fighting super team. And what better way for crime fighters to act than over the top heroes, just like in the cartoons and comics they all adored so much?
Their battles from then on always carried a certain flair of theatrics to them- group poses and challenges that they all said together. They were, after all, the Spectrum Force, defenders of Destiny City!

Team SPECTRUM FORCE Unite! We Are:Astoriafallen the mighty, Zaiafantasy the wise, Lithiasaur the scary, Cajanic the okay
Name: Regina Donaldson
Nickname: Reggie, Queenie
Age: 17
Birthday: 9/29
Sign: Libra
Gemstone: Opal
Blood Type: A
Fav. Food: Warm, melty cheese sandwiches of any type. Cheesesteaks particularly.
Hated Food: Celery
School: Meadoview High School
Hobbies:
Video Gaming - Though she proudly proclaims herself a nerd of all trades, Reggie’s main interests linger in the realm of video games. She owns more games than she will ever play, but certainly not for lack of trying! From online co-op to single player campaigns: RPG to FPS: Reggie will play anything at least once. She adores keeping up with the new releases, catching Demos and displays when she can, and also has a deep interest in retro gaming and learning about the past. Though simple, Atari and NES games can often be just as fun as XBOne and PS4 ones. What is better than playing a video game? Playing them with friends! Most of her free time, in one way or another, is filled by gaming, and she is always down to play.
Movies - Every weekend, Reggie finds a few spare hours to go catch one of the new releases at the cinema. If nothing interesting is out, she will watch something she might have missed the week before or see a favorite movie again. Either way, she has a tradition of spending her Sunday evenings at the movie theater. Most of the time, this is a solo event: going to the movies with friends can happen any time. Her alone time, her quiet moment of connection with her favorite actors and their two hour worlds, is a requirement that she never fails on. Unless something incredibly important pops up, like, say, saving the world.
Cosplay - Every now and then, the fun of a big Convention rolls around. Gathering with her closest friends, she is all too happy to create costumes and characters to don as they go and celebrate their nerdom in all its glory. The community and the closeness is what calls to her most, but of course, her little heart can barely hold the love she has for all her fandoms. She likes to celebrate her absolute favorites by dressing up and going to Cons in full dress, and character. Not quite a method actor, she has trouble holding a personality when her own just wants to explode out of her in her excitement, but still. She always goes for the fun of it, and is never disappointed in the return. Plus, the whole act of putting a costume together, working on a group outfit with her crew, is a delightful and fun experience even at its most stressful and infuriating. Even if the costumes don’t come out that well, at least it is fun to work on.
Virtues:
Tactical - Reggie is very good at thinking things through. She sees a situation and does her best to think her way through it, and very much enjoys a good puzzle. She is hard to panic, and that helps in her efforts to see through things. She approaches problems from an analytical standpoint and is more than willing to step up and offer her opinions and possible options when it is required. She is clever and never limits herself to one answer: there always has to be a plan B.
Determined - It is very hard to discourage Reggie. She has enough guts and gusto to muscle through even the hardest situations! When the going gets tough, Reggie gets tougher: she is steadfast and unwavering when she puts her mind to it. She does not like to be defeated, especially when she can see a light at the end of the tunnel. Even if it take a lot of focus and work, and maybe even some sacrifices, Reggie is ready and willing to go the distance. Especially when her friends or people in trouble need her to.
Positive - Life is fun and Reggie loves every minute of it! She has a very upbeat attitude and likes to look at things from a positive standpoint. No matter what, there always is a bright side, and she will do what she can to find it. Not only that, she wants to show it to anyone who might not be able to see it. Sure, sometimes it has to be more forced than anything, and sometimes things get really bad and it is very hard to hang on to that light, that happiness: but she will do her best. Even when she is sad, or upset, or hurting, she reminds herself that things will always get better. Somehow.
Flaws:
Relentless - Sometimes her grit determination can uh… get the better of her. Especially when faced with the possibility of losing. She hates losing, and will do anything to avoid that outcome. Sometimes at any cost. She can be pretty annoying when she gets her focus narrowed on something, and pushes things one step too far. Though she tries to do a fair job of being balanced and controlled, sometimes her endless energy and ridiculous belief in herself and her friends can end up doing more bad than good. She can often get herself into situations that are way over her head. She almost seems as good at getting into trouble as she is getting out of it.
Stubborn - As above, Reggie hates to lose. That can often be applied in different ways. Not just in games or competitions, or on the battlefield. Even in simple things like what to have for lunch in a group setting, or what idea to roll with for a cosplay party. When she has her mind absolutely set, she can sometimes refuse to move it. She thinks she sees what is best for the team, for the situation, and can be blinded by that more than she really likes to admit. She likes to think that she always has the good of others to drive her actions but of course, sometimes she cannot help her own bias coloring her willingness to adapt.
Blunt - Regina has no trouble saying what she thinks, and handing out orders. While this is helpful a lot of times, especially in times of confusion or even panic, her smart mouth also houses a rather sharp tongue. When she speaks, she can say things very directly, with or without meaning to, and points out flaws and issues without using much tact to soften any potential blow that might come with her helpful and upbeat alternatives. She has a lot of trouble being gentle, and a lot of the time does not even think about it until well after the fact. Of course, when it does occur to her that she has been stupid with her word choice, she feels bad about it, but her ability to control words before they spill out of her mouth is limited at best.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Eyes: --
Hair: A complimentary, CC design to fit her current look!
Face: --
Clothes: Student
Senshi: Seiryuu, Senshi of East
Challenge: Together, we are the Spectrum Force!!!
Attacks:
Sailor Scout Attack: Eastern Dragon Song! Sailor Seiryuu takes a deep breath and releases a loud roar that shakes nearby things and hurts the eardrums of anyone infected by Chaos. It cannot cause any real harm, beyond temporary pain and the strong physical impulse to cover one’s ears. It is mostly used as a distraction type attack, but it offers her, or a chosen ally, a boost of strength when heard. It lasts for 30 seconds and the attack boost is limited by how close someone is to her, and how loud the roar is when they hear it. The magic does not travel more than five feet in any radial direction. Enemies receive no boost from hearing it, but it is only just a loud noise to them.
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Eastern Dragon Rage! Seiryuu’s roar is amplified in sound itself, and can be disorienting and slow to bounce back from. It acts largely the same as it did before. The roar’s magical quality maintains its ability to boost strength, fitting Seiryuu, or a chosen companion, with the magical visage of dragon claws over their hands. These are immaterial, and embody the magical force of the strength boost, in a cosmetic sense only. Still, they look pretty cool! The magical boost of strength lasts for 45 seconds and has the same distance limits as the previous stage.
Eternal Sailor Attack: Eastern Dragon Aspect! Seiryuu’s final ability is a full body boost of strength to either herself or an ally. She summons the form of a dragon, which engulfs the target and coils around their body, as if to fuse with them. It fortifies them with magic, powering their movements and attack abilities. The magic is visible around the user or target in the form of translucent dragon-like decorations unique to the user, usually in the form of horns, wings, tails, claws, etc. These are purely cosmetic, but are a good indication of when the magic has run out when they vanish. The spell can last up to 45 seconds of hard fighting, but Seiryuu can only use it once in a battle, and it leaves her tired afterwards regardless of if she cast it on herself or an ally.

Team Reaper Souffle: Ballentine, chirigami, DivineSaturn, Pyry
Name: Ester Lonsain
Nickname: Bug Girl
Age: 15
Birthday: February 6th
Sign: Aquarius
Gemstone: Amethyst
Blood Type: B
Fav. Food: Nattō. It's is a traditional Japanese food usually eaten at breakfast. It's famous for it's bad smell, unique flavor and very slimy texture.
Hated Food: Grapefruit. It doesn't taste like grapes. So it lies.
School: Meadoview High School
Hobbies: Bug Collecting - She is fascinated with bugs. The colors, sizes, shapes, absolutely everything about them is interesting. She likes to collect both live and dead bugs. She will often be found sporting a net and a glass jar when she is outside to catch some new friends. Her room has a large vivarium where she keeps her prized collection. When one passes on she sticks a pin through it and mounts it with the other specimens. Most friends have posters of teen idols on their walls, Ester has dozens of dead bugs.
Bugs are an obsessive hobby. She thinks about them all the time and finds ways to bring some kind of insect into conversation. If she's in a boring class her notebook because a sketchbook with all kinds of creepy crawlies scattered about the pages. She reads about them and studies them in any spare time that she has. Really, it's all about bugs. Who doesn't love bug?
Also, she gets extremely upset when someone informs her about squishing a bug. She will cry and mourn over the lost bug after she's whooped that person's behind.
Food Photos - You know when your parents tell you not to play with your food? Well, she does. She likes to make things out of her food and snap a picture with her Polaroid. (Although these things aren't necessarily very pretty.) Every meal she eats becomes an edible creation of mush memorialized on a 3 1/4" x 4 1/4" of instant film. She doesn't care who she is with or where she is, she is going to play with her food. It all gets mixed up in your stomach anyway so why not have a little fun with it before it's long journey through your digestive system? Plus, pictures of food spread nicely upon the plate is boring. This just livens things up a little bit.
Virtues: Honesty - She is very honest. She doesn't see the point in lying or even telling little white lies. Hearing the truth is most important, even if the truth is sometimes hard to hear. She has yet to really learn when to turn the honesty off and can sometimes upset people with her honest responses. It can even be a borderline flaw with how honest she will be.
Ingenuity - She has a lot of knowledge in her teenage brain, although most of that knowledge involves the life cycles of various beetles.... she has the ability to think outside of the proverbial box and see solutions to the problems others cannot see. She's a natural problem solver.
Flaws: Obsessive - She really has an obsession with bugs. It's to the point where she will forego doing something in order to catch a bug she doesn't have in her collection yet. It's a problem, especially when she makes a promise and forgets said promise in order to add to her collection. She may even stop mid fight to catch a bug.
Incivility - Although she does well interacting with insects, she doesn't really fit in perfectly with humans. At times she might appear to be outside of the circle. Through her bitter honestly, she has the problem of sounding rude and cruel at times. Her language may insult and demonstrate a lack of respect with whom she is talking to.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Eyes: Green
Hair: Red. Long and tousled. Kind of unruly at times.
Face: Average, no special features.
Clothes: She wears her school uniform. Otherwise her style is the baggy over sized hoodie with a cute pair of leggings. She usually has some kind of bug related article of clothing on.
Senshi: Suzaku, The Senshi of South
Challenge: "Your life just went south!"
Attacks:
Sailor Scout Attack: Stiffling Embers. Suzaku summons a burst of energy, which she releases in the form of a hot rush of embers that flies at a target. It burns like that time you got rug burn. It's not too serious, apply some aloe lotion and you won't even feel it in the morning. The attack can travel three meters, or until it hits a target, and lasts for 15 seconds.
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Torrid Volley. Suzaku summons a burst of energy, which she releases in the form of tiny balls of fire that rain down upon a target. It feels as if millions of fire ants are suddenly attacking you. It's terribly hot and it burns, it itches, it's just downright irritating! It does not, however, cause any lasting damage beyond mild rugburn. It has a radius of two meters, so it could affect two people if they were standing close together, and lasts about 30 seconds.
Eternal Sailor Attack: Red-Hot Pokers. Suzaku summons a larger burst of energy, taking the form of dozens of tiny flames like laser that go ‘pew pew pew’ and attack an area. They hit like pins and needles and leave a burning sensation when they stick into the target. The attack can travel three meters and is a meter wide at its largest part, and lasts about 45 seconds.

TEAM KANYE: Musicaloner7, Silverah, SilentSpy, IStoleYurVamps
Name: Katie West
Nickname: Kay
Age: 16
Birthday: April 6th
Sign: Aries
Gemstone: Topaz
Blood Type: AB-
Fav. Food: Rice, any rice
Hated Food: Beans, any beans
School: Meadoview High School
Hobbies: Otome Games You give the bento to the senpai or else you will romance but probably die. Spending a good hour a day combing through sites about the new LI or a new game, Katie is a fan of pure trash games, the more poorly written the better. She is slightly obsessive with characters and storylines and RPGs, and otomes fill her heart with everything she wants. A boyfriend that isn't likely to leave her unable to form words because he isn't real. All praise the digital age.
Translating Hand in hand with her love of trashy VN and dating SIM games, Katie loves to translate texts- working on a community site for her obsession, she gets paid monies and gets free anime men swag. What's not to love? Plus, she acts part time as a translator at a local museum so, more cash monies to fuel her anime man obsession.
Virtues: Meticulous Hyper vigilant to errors bordering on obsessive, Katie thrives and strives for perfection in being correct. Order and appearances don't matter, so long as the code is functional and things work. She likes and prefers a set standard, as well as a basic layout for plans and such. Errors, however small get under her skin and make her doubt herself, and so, 'get it right the first time.' Less time and effort goes to waste then. Perfection wants everything to be perfect. She doesn't care about that, just about everything falling into place and working. This will mean she will pick at loose threads until none are left. Even if it means she has spent 15 mins doing so.
Kindhearted Meaning well in all she does, Katie tries her best to fit in despite her social awkwardness and her reluctance to be in large groups or social settings. Even when she's being so nit-picky, she tries to keep it isolated to her own things, not others. She wants to help, but doesn't know how to help properly. She wants to talk and offer support but doesn't know what to say. In a perfect world Katie wouldn't hesitate to do what's right. In reality, she just takes a while to gather the courage to do it.
Flaws: Introverted A social avoider, Katie does her best to avoid people and interactions, preferring online screen filters to webcams or well, actual live people. Her lack of ability to related to others is only made clear in her lack of ability to empathize or feel connected. She is smart and whatnot, but lacks all forms of self confidence and faith. She will put off interactions as long as she has to, and feels she will never meet up to anyone's standards. She doesn't hate people, she just doesn't have the energy to be around them.
Delusional Living an active online life and obsessing over fictional men isn't healthy, and she knows it. However she's young, and hasn't quite figured out just how bad her own obsessions are. She's not all there half the time, thinking out social interactions rather than doing them. In denial of her problems, she says's she's fine, and that people just don't understand her. In the future, she's call this her 'teenage phase'. For right now, it's very much her being normal as normal can be.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Eyes: N/A
Hair: Blue with darker blue streaks- wavy mid back length with bangs
Face: N/A
Clothes: N/A
Senshi: Genbu -The Senshi of North
Challenge: I'll give you a hint. It starts with NO for a reason.
Attacks: Sailor Scout Attack: Lost Pathway Upon calling out her attack, a glowing gold pathway can be seen from her to her target- this pathway is visible by both parties and no other. The Target must be within a half a mile radius for effect to take place. This can be used to either track or locate, as all Genbu must do is focus on a living source. If a source is dead or inorganic, the attack fails. She doesn't need to know who her target is so long as she has something they own in hand or knows their name. It lasts for 1 minute. Can be used twice per battle.
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Forgotten Pathway A golden pathway appears between Genbu and her target, the range remains the same, yet now it can no longer be seen by the target and can be focused on inorganic materials/items. Dead targets yield nothing. She doesn't need to know who her target is so long as she has something they own in hand or knows their name. . It lasts for 1 minute. Can be used twice per battle.
Eternal Sailor Attack: Timeless Path A direct pathway opens up for Genbu to a chosen location within a one mile radius. It can teleport her and a MAX of two others before closing and will not let those who try and force their way through to pass. She can do this three time per battle, but after the second time, must sacrifice any other attacks she could use for the remainder of the battle for the final casting and would be unable to henshin for the next 24 hrs.
History: Ever see that family that was really not matching up at all? That's Katie's family. Step siblings all, she and her sisters are pretty sure their dads and moms don't know how to hold down a marriage- and while the adults basically pulled a full blown wife swap, the sisters have remained somewhat close? It's just a bit awkward to say the least. Especially at reunions.
Team Senryaku: Sailor Hawk, Kapoodles, Tasinei, shyanimegrl
Name: Austra Gibson
Nickname: -
Age: 15
Birthday: July 26
Sign: Leo
Gemstone: Rhodochrosite
Blood Type: A+
Fav. Food: Fried Plantain
Hated Food: Asparagus
School: Meadowview
Hobbies: Romance Novels: Austra didn't start reading romance novels out of the blue, she actually found her mothers hidden stash one day while looking for something else. She stole one of the books and read the entire thing in a single sitting. Since then she's been hooked on hulky men, red roses, and declarations of love. She simply can't get enough out of romance novels, she likes to imagine that she is the woman in the books and receiving all the gifts and attention of men sculpted like gods. Since then, her own collection has extended well beyond her mothers and she keeps them all hidden away from preying eyes.
Ceramics: Having practically grown up with the words "do not touch" written across her forehead in case Austra broke one of her mothers beloved ceramics pieces, it easy to see why she decided to follow in her footsteps. Young her work of arts didn't resemble much, but now she is able to make anything from a vase to plates and bowls. Her room is also littered with her works and what she doesn't keep she sells through a small boutique as well as her own website. She has been thinking of becoming a ceramics teacher to make it a full time career.
Virtues: Ambitious: Austra has always gotten her way for one very good reason. She knows what she wants, knows how to get it, and will do anything to get what she wants. In whatever she does, she wants to win or succeed, there is no space for failure. She has high aspirations for herself and fully intends on fulfilling these aspirations. No one can stop her once she sets her plan into motion, that's why her online business is doing quite well for itself. No one and nothing can stop her once she's ready to go. She is quite the force to be reckoned with when she puts her mind to something.
Magnanimous: For all her fiery anger and harsh words, Austra actually has quite the ability to forgive easily. This is perhaps why while her fire is large, it does not burn very much. She will forgive you in the same breath that she curses you. She simply doesn't like to hold grudges and keeps the past exactly where it should be, in the past. She has very little time for revenge, finds it of bad taste, and will probably tell you so if she sees you trying to get revenge on her for something. She likes to forgive and forget, it's better that way.
Romantic: There is nothing Austra wants more than to find her one true love. She knows he's out there, hidden away and one day she is determined that she will find him. She is a hopeless romantic, she wants the flowers, the chocolate, and has high standards of dating even for a girl her age. She is probably your go to source when trying to find that perfect date, and even some of her guy friends have come to her for some advice. In a relationship she is all soft and cuddly. She's had one boyfriend, now ex, but hasn't given up on the idea of true love.
Flaws: Tactless: Austra just doesn't know how to give someone proper news or the difference between something that is a sensitive subject that shouldn't be spoken about. It's all the same to her, making her very insensitive. It is also impossible for her to be subtle. Tell her to look at someone behind her, and she just stare at them pointedly. She doesn't care who hears the comments she has to say because to her, those who take offense are the ones who have a problem here. Austra doesn't put thought into what she says before she says it. It simply comes out as it is.
Fiery: There is an ever burning fire in Austria that is quick to grow when she gets angry. It isn’t a very hot flame, but it is a large one. She can set off quickly on things like a friend being late a few minutes but it won’t last very long. Though don’t add oil to that fire because you will get burned. Those who push her buttons will be met with someone who won’t have trouble fighting back, with fists if it’s necessary. It takes her a lot to get to that point but she has little to no patience for grievous offenders.
Domineering: Austra has had little control over her life since she was born; as such as she's gotten older she's tried to control everything around her. This makes it so she's the one always make the first suggestion for things like going out somewhere and will push that opinion on others. She has this take charge attitude that is more like pushing others around than actual leading. A lot of people bend to that side of her, but those who push back will be met with her anger before it dies and she just waves it off. Granted ti does take some pushing to get her to back off.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Eyes: A dark brown-black color.
Hair: The color of her eyes on the template. It's like a purple-y color. Style is an afro! This
Team: Senryaku Senshi Senshi: Seiryuu, Senshi of the East
We chose resignation as the power base for the Eastern senshi because that is where home is. A place of belonging, someplace where people decide to live and stay.
Challenge: Look to the East, your demise awaits.
Attacks:
Sailor Scout Attack: Eastern Pressure Seiryuu opens up her arms to the side and tiny pieces of light explode from her body. These begin as a soft dark blues but soon turn into oranges and yellows (think a sunset in each little fragment). If one of them touches you, you will a small pressure that stuns for 5 seconds. Radius is 6 feet in diameter and can hit friends. Attack lasts for about 10 seconds.
(The idea behind this is being pressured into resigning which I translated into a stun. The East is where the sun rises, so it looks like a sunrise. )
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Eastern Pressure Arise Seiryuu opens up her arms to the side and tiny pieces of light explode from her body. These begin as a soft dark blues but soon turn into oranges and yellows (think a sunset in each little fragment). These lights are large, they catch attention much quicker. If one of them touches you, you will a medium pressure where it touched that stuns for 10 seconds. Radius is 10 feet in diameter and can hit friends. Attack lasts for about 20 seconds.
Eternal Sailor Attack: Seiryuu Rising Seiryuu places her hands in front of her one atop the other and calls out the attack. Winds build up around her until they form a large dragon that floats above her. The dragon focuses on a single target and begins to voice discouraging/distracting things to it's target. The things said are meant for the target to feel resign and / or resign their next attack. Lasts 20 seconds, radius of 10 feet.
