DOUBLING UP
BUT ROOOSSSEEEE okay biggrin i doubt she can start big enough fires to level a skyscraper. Can you give me some ideas as to what 'proper consequences' are? :O I was already planning out Gunn having to leave a lot of battles early because someone called the cops and they were like there is the ******** arsonist again fffffffffuu-. Is that appropriate? :O
rosemilk: HAVING TO LEAVE BATTLES BECAUSE THE GODDAMN ARSONIST IS AT IT AGAIN YES. It may also turn a bit of public feeling against the senshi if there's a definite senshi who causes urban destruction -- not that I'm recommending against it, I think that's great. biggrin
ETA: Not that I'm saying that public opinion is strongly against the senshi for any reason. Just making a note that senshi-associated arson will not help senshi causes, esp. with firemen. Lots of the public like the senshi. There may just be some trashy headline in trashymag: SENSHI BURNED DOWN MY GRANDMA'S HOUSE somewhere, which may not help their cause much in the end.

This might need to be a PM a GM question but I figured I'd throw it out here since I was posting questions anyways. Would Invisibility be a feasible sphere?
rosemilk: Can't see why not!
Also, with the Negaverse teams do new Lt.'s get put on a team as they arrive?
Cuter: The Lieutenants are assigned to a Captain when they arrive - the GMs will be the ones doing the assigning to keep things fair and evenly distributed.
Awesome to both! Thanks <3

I think this has been answered before, but I`ve read through the six pages, and I don`t think so~.
I know that all cavaliers have rapiers, but do all parallel senshi have weapons of the sorts? Because I know some questers have gone have decided on their weapon of choice.
And based on their images, Queen Nehelenia has the scepter, Aphrodite with Heartbreaker, and Gaia with those...pots?
4laugh So, yeah, I was wondering if this is something that should be included in quests, or something that the staff decides?
Natsube: I'm not Shaz, and she should be the one answering this, but I'm fairly certain that Gaia's pot was put there because Shaz thought the pose was lacking something. Aphrodite is a captain and Selene the Princess, so I think normal rules apply? Gaia's pot is not really a weapon of any sort as she doesn't use it in her attack in any way, shape or form.
Shazari: I am Shaz, and I can answer this! Aphrodite is a captain, and in fact has a weapon/item -- her Heartseeker -- it's used in her attack (note its suspicious similarity to the Love-Me Chain). Selene's Crescent Wand is, like Chronos's longer staff, an item she can call to hand without needing to cast her attack, but otherwise isn't very functional as a weapon -- it hardly adds half a foot to her total reach, and isn't bladed or anything, not much different to running into battle with an ice cream scoop. Gaia's clay pot was indeed added for visual interest, and to suit the idea that all the White Lunar Court senshi had some form of item, so I wanted to mirror that with the Black Lunar Court. With the exceptions of the captain and vice-captain (Venus and Uranus, Aphrodite and Ouranos), the items the other parallels might have are accessories they might use in their attacks (see Gaia summoning and throwing her clay pot on the ground to cast her attack), but are not direct weapons. Sailor Ares also can't stab enemies in the eyes with her incense stick (sorry, Ares).
End result: No need to include this in your quest -- it'd be more helpful if you didn't. <3

if I wanted to ask for staff help with attacks, could I do that? I'm sorry if this seems like a really weird question, lol ): I've been off and on working on little bits of Minkowski's info, and her attacks are one of the things I'm hung up on
rosemilk: The stampers are always ready to help, and if you need extra help you can absolutely contact me or one of them. It is what we are here for.
also, will there eventually be a writing contest for guardian cats? or are they only going to be available through bribe/auction/something like that?
rosemilk: Guardian cats are EXTREMELY rare. We will probably never have a writing contest for one.
also also does a senshi have to have a awakening rp to play as a senshi, or can they go ahead and start rping as a senshi?
rosemilk: You can go ahead and start RPing immediately -- you can just handwave the fact that your senshi got awakened by any cat, esp. Astraea. You should probably ask if you want it to be another one, but they're all really willing.

Hey there! Got a couple questions m'self that I've been wondering about. :3
I know that cavaliers are considered meta characters -- are the Parallel senshi and cavaliers meta as well? Ie, you can try for as many cavaliers/parallel senshi as you want, but am I correct to assume that once you acquire one, you can not acquire another one? ie, one meta per person includes members from the parallel court?
rosemilk: They do not! Meta souls only count if they were around in the actual series. You can have any non-canon Cavalier, but if you had, say, Jadeite, then you have a meta character.
And more for some solo-filler information:
About how many NPCs are killed every day due youma attacks, star seed thefts, etc? How many pages does the obituary in the Destiny Times/random newspaper here take up?
rosemilk: Destiny City stands at a population of about 800,000. The official death toll is skewed due to the fact that a lot of the deaths can't officially be classified as murder but we're looking at seven deaths a week. The number has risen since Wiseman came into town, so the 1.0 per day is going to rise.
There's been a massive call to Clean Up Crime, though there's also been a massive call to "clean up aliens."
How would other cities view Destiny City? Would they assume that the "terrorists" are a publicity stunt in an attempt for the city to get more visitors? Or has Astraea/Charonite/Wiseman/Someone hacked their way into the local government and prevented such information from spreading? Or can we assume that Destiny City is under quarantine by the rest of the invisible nation and no one knows because the government is full of ninjas and they're just that good?
rosemilk: Astraea's not that good! The rest of America views Destiny City as having sunk into an economic depression that's aggravating the crime rate, and the official word is that organised crime has made its home there since 2008. 'Official'. The National Guard isn't moving in -- there's other stuff to be concerned about.
Is it correct to assume that 18 is the legal driving age, 18/19 for drugs, and 21 is the legal limit for alcohol purchase and consumption?
Shazari: I'd have guessed 16 to drive, 18 for cigarettes, 21 for liquor. <3
Finally, I just accidentally hit a baseball through someone's window. Can I claim that a senshi did it in order to get away with it? (C'mon the ball's all covered with sparkles and everything!)
rosemilk: Your mom has stopped buying that, honey.

Question time!
1 - For characters that have dual souls (i.e. Laocoon/Johnny, Hector/Jesse, etc) can the two communicate with each other? Like, for example, if Johnny's driving the body can Laocoon communicate mentally with him or is there no communication between the souls? (Like basically, are they aware enough of each other to recognize each other as separate entities sort of thing?) I know that they're meant to merge as time passes, but is there a point where they start as separate and then slowly just become the same (sort of) person?
rosemilk: Not Shaz, but as my understanding goes there CAN be some form of communication between the two. Jesse and Hector don't communicate because they're alike enough that they've just about fully merged, but two more disparate souls could communicate with each other.
Shazari: They can and do communicate. Imagine your body is a car that your mind is driving -- the parallel soul is sitting in the passenger seat offering directions. Occasionally they'll take the wheel and you'll be the passenger, but you're both awake and aware at the same time. <3
2 – Scenario-ish question. Say, Johnny goes out to patrol, changes to Laocoon, Laocoon gets the s**t beaten out of him, Laocoon returns home and changes back to Johnny. How much of the time between when he (Johnny) left to patrol and came home would he remember? Would he remember the fight as if he'd sort of been watching it on a TV (i.e. he had no part in it but he remembered) or would he just be like 'wtf why do I have all these bruises?'
rosemilk: He'd definitely remember it, and Laocoon doesn't necessarily take over every time Johnny transforms. It's not disassociative -- the Johnny personality doesn't go to sleep.
Shazari: See above. <3
3 – Specifically regarding the Parallel Court, what kinds of memories does the parallel soul have? Like, can they just recognize their Prince/Queen/other Parallel court dudes or do they have actual memories of the Mirror-verse Kingdom?
rosemilk: I'll let Shaz answer this one in more detail.
Shazari: Full memories of the mirrorverse kingdom -- their minds are just housed in different bodies now.
4 - Can Parallel court cavaliers/senshi recognize other transformed Parallels even if they haven't met in their current form? Like, if Laocoon were to run into Ares, say, for example, would he know it was her? Or would he just know she's a Parallel? (Or the totally other end of the spectrum, would he just not know her at all?)
rosemilk: I'll let Shaz answer this as well.
Shazari: Parallels only have resonance with their awakened partners and their awakened counterparts/counterpartners -- Aphrodite and Hector would recognize each other even untransformed, but Aphrodite and Aeneas wouldn't. Aphrodite and Hector would also 'recognize' Kunzite after a fashion (insofar as someone 'recognizes' a person they've never met), and Kunzite each of them, and if there were an awakened Sailor Venus this would all hold true as well.

So Sailor Eskimo's art has snowflakes around her, is this purely aesthetic or could I play with the idea of snowflakes whirling around her when she henshin's up/down?
Cuter: Since there were ribbons, sparkles and bright flashing lights in the canon henshin'ing, I don't see any problem in having a snowflake or two flutter by when she's transforming, considering her sphere/name.

Negaverse emit dark energy and senshi emit positive energy right? I was wondering how obvious this energy might be or if it is able to be concealed to some extent? Like regular negaverse agents concealing it, not corrupted senshi? Cuter: All Negaverse agents emit some form of energy, and that energy grows stronger/more powerful as the character goes up in rank. Tig actually made an example of this for me a while back, showing the difference between a Lieutenant, a corrupted senshi and Queen Beryl. As you can see, the corrupted senshi has a MUCH bigger energy aura than a regular lieutenant does, while the ruling head of the Negaverse has the largest. As far as concealing it goes, Charonite had to use the bracelets to hide the senshi's energy, so I'm led to assume that at least the less powerful ranks (+ corrupted senshi) do not have the ability at this time to conceal their energy. More poweful characters, like Charonite and Beryl, are capable of dampening their energy aura and/or concealing it entirely. As far as distance goes, I imagine the distance grows with power, so a nearby senshi may sense a lieutenant, while they could probably sense a corrupted senshi a few blocks away or even further for someone like Beryl or Charonite (if they wanted their presence known).
Gonna leave the senshi ones up to the senshi gals, but I imagine it works similar to them? (Not like corrupted senshi, with their bracelet to "turn off their energy" but I was also wondering if the corrupted senshi emit that in like MASSES or something? I recall it was mentioned that they're like negaverse tanks? XDD)

If two powered-up characters on the same side (i.e. 2 Negas or 2 Senshi) know each other in their human forms very well, is it possible for them to see through the glamour and realize who it is they are staring at beneath the fuku? If they made physical contact, would it be more likely?
I am speaking specifically about the potential for Taranis/Magellan to recognize each other through body language/eye contact/etcetera in his awakening RP, but it seemed like something other people might wonder about too.
Natsube: They would not recognize each other! Please see Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon-- the glamour doesn't know about your character's personal relationships, so until you see them transform or you actually tell them, they won't know. Maddy and Jesse grew up together and are pretty close friends, but they had no idea they were on the same team, even from the same court.

1. Does the appearance of the henshin pen stay the same when a senshi powers up? E.g. In the anime/manga, the senshi's henshi pens changed to the Star Power Stick, Crystal Change Rod when they powered up. Natsube: Either or, you can choose! I drew the henshin pen the same way as they appeared in the original season, but I don't see why it wouldn't follow the series? AKA go for it if you'd like?Shazari: Certainly fine with me too. <32. Does Princess Chronos has a special henshin item or is it just a pen? Shazari: Sailor Selene has a black mirrored compact like Sailor Moon's 'Crystal Star', which currently has a gaping hole where the Marcasite Crystal should be. I'd guess you can feel free to have something similar for Chronos, if you wish. <33. Is it safe to assume that every time Princess Chronos transforms, the barrier thing she did in Barren Pines that blocked the bullets goes up? Or is this a Princess only thing or...? I'm just wondering if it means every time she henshins up, she starts repelling stuff away and becomes all glowy. Shazari: That's something that I imagine went away with the loss of the Opal Crystal. sad <34. What does Chronos' rod do, exactly? I imagine it aids her in Season Escalation, but I'm not very sure. Shazari: My guess would be, as with Selene's Crescent Wand, this is just a visual aid in her attack -- however, she might be able to bonk enemies with it if she so chose? Selene's wand isn't quite sturdy enough to stand up to that sort of use, as I felt she had enough powers to work with without needing the benefit of a weapon as well, but if you find, in practice, that Chronos is too underpowered, I'd say there's no harm in having her do some light damage with her rod. <3

I've seen some of the characters in civilian outfits, and was wondering if these would become available later down the road? Not just for characters who decide to graduate from school but not go to Sovereign Heights, but for other characters who are still attending school?
Natsube: Yes, these will become available later down the road!

Quick and hopefully easy question XD
I know if one wanted to change their profile a lot (IE: swapping out virtues/flaws or drastically changing personality) they have to check with a GM. However if one simply wants to rewrite a currently existing flaw, do we need it checked?
Mostly, I just want to tinker with Schee's gullible flaw since it's become a rather important trait for him and I want to include that he lies to himself. That's all <3
Shazari: This is actually something we're currently in the process of deciding, so we should have a definitive answer for this soon! <3
Shazari: And now we do! The new process for major and minor revisions is now up in the Application Quests forum (I know you've already spotted it, but this way this is documented for posterity). <3

More Questions!
Do all guardian cats remember their past life? Who did the guardian cats all serve? I know the Zodiacs have Sue, and ********* is working towards "her girls", which are to an asteroid group of senshi. Do they need to be associated with any team of senshi at all or just everyone in general? In the past, were Guardians assigned to someone or did they decide on who they would protect? Could a guardian have served for members of the Earth Court? I ask because Astraea approached Miriam and awoke her as Kunzite. Would/Could there be a guardian cat for cavaliers? What is the oldest and youngest a guardian cat can be?
Basically, more information on Guardian Cats.
rosemilk: Unless you were Luna, Artemis, Zue or Diana, you did not have a past life. When ********* says 'her girls', she has adopted those asteroid senshi as 'hers', not that they were hers in the past. They have no previous history and have been reborn as guardians in this life.
There is no guardian cat for cavaliers. Astraea jogged Miriam's memory rather than 'awoke' her. Guardian cats also don't really have an 'age' -- but you can have one in the range from 'young' to 'old'.
Guardian cats are all from Mau and serve the Lunar Court.

I just want to know this for my own personal amusement.
If, say, Hector and Kunzite were to meet and high-five, would anything happen? Since they're two alternate-universe versions of each other, theoretically them being in the same place should be some kind of paradox. Is it negated by the fact that Hector is in the body of someone from the White Moon universe? I have heard many theories (division by zero, a rift in the spacetime continuum, absolutely nothing) but I want to know for sure.
codalion: Hector and Kunzite are not "alternate-universe versions of each other" so much as it just happens to be that they're both the Captain of their Prince's Cavaliers. Similarly, Endymion and Alexandros are actually not two versions of the same person -- they are two different people! We just joke around that Alex is "dark Endymion," but the fact is that the Parallel universe is in fact parallel, not divergent: they are two universes with two entirely different timelines and sets of people. It just so happens that there was a Prince of Earth and a Princess of the Moon in both universes, and they each had a Great Crystal and their own courts. <3
Shazari: My preferred joke is "Blondymion." biggrin Would like to add that the most likely reason Hector and Kunzite high-fiving would cause a rift in the space-time continuum is because this would require some sort of unreality wherein Miriam and Jesse would ever high-five each other. biggrin <3
Additionally, does the Zodiac Court exist in the Black Moon universe? I know we'll likely never see them, but I am curious--would Ares have memories of an alternate-world Virgo, or something. (Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought her back.)
codalion: There may very well indeed be parallel Zodiacs, but they're not part of gameplay and they wouldn't be familiar enough to the Lunars to be able to recognize the White Zodiacs. <3
Shazari: Presumably the Black Zodiac Court live somewhere out in deep space, defending from outside threats. While certain generations of the Black Moon Court and Black Earth Court have likely met them in past eras, the current generation probably have not. They'd know the concept and that there WERE Black Zodiac senshi, but not have met any personally. <3

When a Negaverser becomes a captain, what are the restrictions to their youma? How powerful are they typically? Do they have any powers or allowed any special attacks aside from what they are given physically (claws, teeth, etc.)? Would a flying youma be allowed? How will they evolve when going into the General stage? Since Charonite is/was a Calvalier, does this mean he does not have a youma of his own then? Does a youma belonging to a Captain add to their own starseed count if they eat one or is that just feeding a youma, something you would have to keep doing?
Following the questions regarding Guardian cats, when a Guardian is reborn, do they know what their mission is, or do they only know they feel a tug towards some people and feel something wrong around negative auras? Do they know how to talk? Do they need to have another guardian/senshi tell them they are a guardian before they start learning their special abilities (cell phone, cat beam, etc.)? Do they know that they are different than normal cats or would they be under that disillusion for some time before being told otherwise?
Edit: Oh, and since Guardian Cats are reborn, can they be related to other Guardian Cats but from different parents cat on Earth (which means they could be two different breeds if we wanted)?
