Welcome to Gaia! ::

Can an upgrade rp happen on a homeworld?

Also, just a idea to explore - what if there is an secret order of Senshi based on a certain or several ancient cultures of the Earth?

An upgrade RP is able to happen anywhere you'd like it to! However, if the character is a senshi they will have to have a guardian cat to upgrade them! Or for a Knight they just have to show they are in need of more power or they can complete a ritual to upgrade on their wonder!

As far as your idea for secret order of senshi - this would be better submitted as a player driven plot if you wish to form a court around this idea. Please keep in mind that would have to be a modern day secret order / an order from the past being revived in present day since all senshi are awakened by the same rules!

What's the current policy about posting for other people's front page icon updates? I don't mean 'this art just dropped', i mean 'character has been played at X stage with X art, but player has never posted for icon update, so they're shown as Y stage with Y art' or 'character's icon is updated but in the wrong location'.

We welcome players letting Staff know about discrepancies both on the front page and in the Master Character List. We rely heavily on players to inform us when a character has reached a certain stage and if it is not posted for an Icon, it can be missed when updating the front page.

Before submitting anything, please do double check that the player of said character has not posted for an Icon. However, if you notice a wrong link, an icon that hasn't been updated or is in the wrong place, please do let us know by sending a PM to the mule with the updated information or corrected link!

For the Master List, we welcome anyone to post using This thread. We just ask that you please double check that the player has not already done so or that the growth was not recently acquired

If an officer has a youma implant (like a youma eye for example) and then purifies, what happens to the implant? Does it remain or keep its unique properties?


Should an Officer purify, they will completely lose any youma implants and the properties or abilities that came with the implants. Think of these as Nega-specific prosthetics; they are given to an Agent and work in tandem with the Chaos inside of them. Without the Chaos, there is no bond to hold them together and the magic from a fourth stage during a purification would completely burn out the youma.

This method only works for implants/'prosthetics'—if an Agent has partially youmafied, it means that their starseed has been affected and the bond is too powerful to remove. If an Agent has a small youma implant designed to replace a missing organ or limb, such as an eye or a hand, the purification simply burns all traces, leaving the then-purified agent with only their natural body.

I am wondering about the Emblem thread, in the OOC thread. Is anyone running it? People are using it like there is no tomorrow, however the front page hasn't been updated for about a year or more. If help is needed, I couldn't create, but I could help organize, store and put up?

Thank you for the offer, but we may revise the thread soon! The thread is a few years old and was originally set up by a player for the shop; previously the staff did not have an extensive hand in managing it, but we may make a new thread with updated icons and task someone to keep it updated!

Is it possible for a past life species to have had functional wings/etc. in the past, but for them to have been bred out/lost in evolution/etc. well before the last past life of our characters? For example, would it have been possible for the past life race of Senshi Doofus to have had wings long ago, but they were lost through evolution or became non-fuctional centuries before the most recent life of Senshi Doofus before their modern one?

It would be possible that in the very distant past, the species of the past life could have had functional tails and wings. However, it wold be so long ago that the more current past life characters would not have been affected by them. For example, your character could have a legend passed down of a time when their ancestors could fly or swing by their tails, however there would not be a way for the character to do this anymore. Evolution, breeding, changes in the planet, or any number of reason you may like has made those features long obsolete.

TIME FOR QUESTIONS ABOUT FOURTH-STAGE CHARACTERS HOO BOY

1. Is it possible for fourth-stage characters to swap sides? Could Dark Mirror Princess Leto ever theoretically be purified into Princess Leto, or Prince Castor corrupt into Corrupt Prince Castor?
2. Presuming the above is true, would it require the sideswap to be willing, or would it require Queen Laurelite for a corruption / Sailor Cosmos for a purification?
3. In the Dystopian Future, there were Corrupt Royals; where were they drawing their power from? The same with DM Royals -- where are they obtaining their royal crystal from?
4. AND THIS ISN'T TECHNICALLY RELATED, BUT: if a Transcended was willing to be corrupted, would it be possible, or does Transcendence completely remove the capability of Chaos-aligned characters to touch the starseed?


1. It would be possible for a fourth stage to switch sides. However, this would require both a strong OOC reasoning as well as a strong IC plot. There would also be heavy IC complications resulting from the side swap, and the fourth stage character wouldn't have access to the stage or powers for a while. These could be re-earned, but would require a plot to explain how they earned the power back, as well as a set cooldown time before they could access the stage again. This is not something staff will easily approve and should not be pursued unless the player is very serious about it and is prepared to do massive work to make it happen. There are severe issues with characters who have double side swapped, so if a fourth stage character has swapped sides once already then they may not be able to retain fourth stage at all if they swap again.

2. This is something that would be addressed with the player should a fourth stage side swap ever be requested. Cosmos or Laurelite could be expected to have some involvement, but we'll see what happens if someone ever suggests a plot!

3. A Corrupt Senshi still holds connects to their homeworld, though they are no longer able to visit or gain past life memories. The homeorld will only really die if the Senshi ascends; because of this, they still draw their power from the homeworld's core. For a DMC, their power is also still coming from their homeworld. The coating over their starseed just changes the form they are taking; their planet is not dead. Even when corrupted, a Senshi still has ties to their homeworld, but because the Senshi is corrupted it simply manifests in another manner.

4. At the time, there is no means for a Transcended to corrupt in any form. In general, if you have any hope to corrupt a character, we ask that you do not go forth with a transcendence plot. If a player who has Transcended finds themselves unable to play their character, the staff will work with them as much as possible. We may be able to determine a method for these players, but to even request corruption for a Transcended character, a player must have attempted to play their character as Transcended and have clear reasons for wanting to corrupt them. Though still in a hypothetical stage, in all likelihood, a character would have to be willing to corrupt, as you cannot be forcibly corrupted while Transcended.

The question came up in chat and I thought it would be good to have it somewhere everyone could see it:

How much personal/civilian information does the Negaverse know about it's agents? (such as name, address, next of kin, where they work, etc)

It should be assumed by the player that the Negaverse has access to basic (and some private) information about the character in question. It should be assumed that any information one would have ever filled out on a form would be generally known to the Negaverse—name, address, place of employment, next of kin, SSN, medical records, insurance, income, schooling, tax returns, warrants/arrests/criminal charges, etc.

This information would be stored in the Negaverse database, however this same information should not come into play without the player's consent. For anyone to access this information, they would need proper authorization (ICly) and OOC permission to do so. It should be expected that a General might be able to get access with good reason, but this access would not be commonly shared with a Captain and a Lieutenant would almost never be given access.

ICly, a Negaverse agent might not be aware of how much information about them is collected, and generally the information that is collected never comes into play.

I'm hoping to do my upgrade of Etamin to Super on his homeworld (don't have any details, have requested assistance with plot), this the first time he's gone to his homeworld, but I'm wondering about the people he'll take. He'll need a Cat. He has two really good friends, (a Chibi Super, and a regular Scout) and he has his twin sister that has just reappeared in his life after four years (due to mundane plane accident) and has recently awoken as a Sailor Scout.

I know there is a limit on how many can go to a senshi's homeworld at one time, but I'm confused about the wording of cats 'piggy-backing' ? Could you explain it a llittle clearer?


When traveling to a homeworld or wonder, the easiest way to consider how many people one can bring is to think of it as one person per rank. A Regular stage Senshi or Page would only be able to bring one person with them, where as an Eternal or Knight would be able to bring three before becoming too exhausted. This can vary some from person to person as a character who has traveled often to their homeworld could potentially be able to take an additional character with them as they would know the limits the travel has on their body and have time to become used to the strain of travel.

A cat is unable to travel to worlds or wonders by themselves. Mauvians all share a homeworld (Mau) but cannot access it so the only way that a Mauvian can travel is if they are catching a ride with a senshi or knight visiting their own homeworld/wonder. A Bonded Mauvian may find or create an item that allows them to travel to their Bonded Senshi's homeworld, but can only travel to the Senshi's homeworld and must remain bonded with the Senshi to access that ability. Mauvians do not immediately have the ability to teleport, so they must 'piggyback' on someone else to get a ride. Due to their size, they do not drain as much energy as a human would when being teleported so a character is able to bring a cat along with a guest and not be overly exhausted. However, they would still be more tired than if they only brought a single person with them.

Exceptions to the number of people a person brings are made on a case by case bases and normally have to do with a large scale event open to the shop. Staff is always happy to review plots when someone has a plot that requires a large group to travel to someone's homeworld, but it often needs an explanation. These always need staff approval! The more a character visits their homeworld and establishes a bond, and the higher rank they are, can be key factors when staff is considering approving one of these requests!
