Welcome to Gaia! ::

New sweet Surrounding passports. I couldn't tell exactly from the post in the party thread sooo..

Were they only handed out to a certain few? Or everyone at the party? Or everyone that helped out in the surrounding/at the battle?

Nessy: Roma's post said to approach Virgo if you wanted one at the party. So I assume if you are at the party and say hi to Virgo you will receive a passport.

Otherwise you will have to get an RP with a Zodiac in order to get one in the future.

EDIT:: Roma provided me with a good thread they have here for this purpose as well.

1. Senshi cell phones can only be used when powered up, correct?

Correct.

2. If a Senshi is not given a cell phone in their RP'd awakening, should it be handwaved that the phone was received anyways? Or should they have to retrieve the cell phone from a guardian cat at another time?

This is the preference of the player. If no preference is given then you can assume that the phone was given at time of power-up. It is, however, fairly rare for a cat to be so remiss. Not even Derpraline is usually that deadbrained.

3. Are there any specific rules for uniform design as a powered character advances in stages? For instance, all Order-aligned Eternals must have the same type of buttwings? Are there similar rules for other Senshi stages? Knights? Negaverse? Dark Mirrors?

All Order senshi must have white, feathered buttwings. Corrupt senshi get batwings. DMC senshi get black, feathered buttwings. All of the stage information should be contained in their respective threads.

If no information exists assume that there will not be any constraints unless told otherwise at the time your art is completed. The artists are aware of what each stage must contain but most of it is left up to the customer.

4. While it has been said that Negaverse agents are physically stronger than a similar-ranked Senshi (i.e, Lieutenant is stronger than a Sailor Scout), how else do the two compare or differ? Do they have similar jumping heights and running speeds, or is one greater than the other?

Strength, both physical and magical, is the only place there is a discernable difference. Certain individuals may be slightly faster, slower, jump higher, etc depending on their particular specialization and areas of practice but there is no standard for these things. They all have the same general heights to jump, running speed, etc.

5. What is the proper way to say the names of different characters? For instance is it "Super Sailor Requiem, Dark Mirror Senshi of Burial" or "Dark Mirror Super Sailor Requiem, Senshi of Burial" or something else? Or "Alunite, Eternal Corrupted Senshi of Eclipses" or "Eternal Sailor Alunite, Corrupted Senshi of Eclipses" as his name is a mineral?

Both of your first examples are correct for each character.

How are the roads in Destiny City? What with all the senshi, negas, knights, and youma running around, there's bound to be some property damage somewhere. Is it acceptable to assume that the inner city is often repaved/kept up whereas the outer skirts/slums are practically impassable for any sort of motorized vehicle to go through?

Boy that's an interesting question! I wouldn't say entirely impassable but it would be slow, rough going in any sort of vehicle that wasn't designed for off-roads. I'm sure garbage collection down there is really quite a fun, unusual process.

How are the "terrorists" regarded on average in Destiny City? Small businesses shut down, large corporations still going on, on whole (aside from GM-approved plots) are senshi/negas/knights seen more of a nuisance or an actual threat to public safety? Or are they regarded as a sort of large flashy gangwar complete with fireworks/illegal weapons/etc?

Public opinion varies like in all things. At this particular moment in the plot, with civilians having disappeared and reappeared, plus Painite's bit at City Hall, they are probably considered to be a threat. People are urged to not go out alone at night. Nationally, it's seen to be some kind of very weird youth gang uprising. Nobody's ever caught one to question them and find out what the hell is actually going on.

In order to get to their planet, I know a senshi needs to "tune in" and basically meditate to "hear" their planet. Is it possible to do this and actually hear it on a senshi's homeworld and hear it in a much louder/clearer "voice?"

Yes, very much so.

What's the limit on carrying items to a senshi homeplanet? How big/small/heavy can an item be in order to haul it around? Specifically thinking building tools here in order to try and "fix" mundane non-magical buildings up. What are the limits by power level?

The limits remain the same no matter your power level. Anything you take should be something you can carry. Imagine your basic-size box that you would use to move things in. Maybe a 4ft x 4 ft cube weighing no more than 100 lbs and that's how much you can feasibly take. Of course things can be longer or shorter or slightly wider or slimmer but the weight is something that should not be exceeded.

In order to return home, it's been established that a senshi dials home. How instant is this? Do they need to be in a meditative state to tune into Earth and go back? Or is it summon phone - dial - teleport back home?

Tuning in to Earth is not required but you would need to dial back and go home. It is probably a shorter process than meditating, tuning in, and going to your planet to begin with.

As always, thank you! <3

What is the Dark Mirrors' general view of order-aligned guardian cats?

Akina: They recognize them as exceptionally important strategic figures who they would be desperate to win to the Dark Mirror. It would be highly frowned upon for a dark parallel to kill a cat. They are limited in nature, and though Ares can corrupt people, she cannot pinpoint who is an unawakened senshi without a guardian cat to tell her. It is the hope of the Court to win all the cats to the parallel side (though Ares would kill to have Zirconia back).

Thank you for the answer. <3

What is the absolute best a corrupted senshi can get at energy gathering, with a lot of practice ? What's the 'average' ?

Do corrupted senshi who were converted (IE, Alkaid, Lyra) still henshin with their henshin pens and catchphase ? I was told a long time ago that Alunite would pretty much power up like a nega does, but I'd love so have an official public okay on this, in case the other corrupteds need the info.

I will poke Orestae this way when I see her next. She's away at the moment on vacation so consider this a pretty pink placeholder~ <3

Would it be possible to get something like a time-line with a short blurb about past meta-events?

A lot of people probably already know what's happened in shop cannon, but for people who are just joining ITNOTM, it's a bit confusing. People toss around terms like Barren Pines, Elysion and Tartaros and I'm assuming these are past metas? And then there's Zodiac Court and Princesses and DMC and...yeah, a time-line or something along the lines of a thread w/ important meta information would really be appreciated! ;v;

Nessy: I can try my very best to do this as soon as I have the spare time for it. I can't guarantee that the times will be accurate (like this happened in March 2009 this happened in July 2010 etc) but the sequence of events will be accurate.

From the cat faction information: "With the agreement of all parties, if your cat serves a team they may be able to sense where any of their team is at any given time with concentration."

Does the cat need to have known the senshi in their past life to do this, or is it cool for any senshi who joins their team?
What about knights who are on the team? Or is their energy too different?

Oh, and does this clause mean only when the team member is powered up, or civilian too? I assumed not civilian, but the way it's worded I thought I'd double-check. smile

Thank you!

Nessy: This is applicable for the present life only actually! Cats do not have past-life memories unless they have gone to that particular senshi's planet and gotten memories of being there so they would have no idea who past-life team members were otherwise.

Right now this only applies to senshi and is only for power-up. I will talk with my fellow GMs about knights and see how it pans out from there.


EDIT: Cool, thanks Nessy. Is it still okay for my cat to feel recognition/connection to certain senshi - no memories, just maybe knowing their name? Or am I doing it wrong? I thought I remembered reading that cats only get memories from one senshi's homeworld, not their entire team. (Though now I can't find where I read it. sweatdrop )

Is there maybe someone I can talk to about cat mechanics, instead of spamming you here?

Nessy: Feel free to send me a PM or you can request my IM through PM as well if that suits you. Cats generally recognize a senshi as soon as they are transformed; this is a part of their power to identify the senshi to themselves upon first powering up.

It's considered good etiquette to ask the player of the senshi before using this recognition, however.

Those feelings of attachment are quite alright. Some cats just like certain senshi! Derp has always been rather partial towards Rosalind and Taranis.
