Since I've used Youma before for plots (like how I used one for the chibimoon flea plot), I was wondering if youma could be created by normal Negaversers (someone of not super high rank)? Say, if you fed animals a lot of chaos or even a couple of starseeds, could you create your own youma? If that doesn't work, could you gather youma (more feral type) and train them in the Rift like dogs?
Iris: You cannot create a youma by feeding an animal chaos or starseeds. Civilians, however, can be turned into feral youma by overwhelming their starseeds with chaos. This is not something that should happen super often but it can be done in dire situations.
Youma do not act like regular animals (they are more monster then they are animal or 'person') and are not trainable like dogs. In certain situations a feral youma might respond to very simple commands (Come here, go away) from a higher level member of the Negaverse but that is more out of self preservation then anything else. You could probably also lure a youma into following you around Destiny City with a starseed. They are not pets though.
Only your personal youma will obey commands completely, and even then it's based on the youma, it's owner, and their connection.

I have couple questions about Negaverse, if you don't mind.
This one is little silly.
Sometimes negas are summoned in meetings. Does the condition where they're in just before summoning transfers into the meeting? In example, if a nega is losing a fight just before they're summoned, does they appear black and blue in the meeting? Or if they're in the shower, do they have wet hair and all that jazz in the meeting?
The second is a bit more serious.
Are we allowed to RP Metallia brainwashing our character in our corruption RP/post? In similar manner how Wiseman brainwashed Chibimoon in Sailor Moon anime?
For the first question, yep! If a Nega was in the shower when Metallia summoned them, they would appear before her in a wet state! They wouldn't just pop in there in their skivvies, though; they'd be powered up! Just also wet!
For the second question, Metallia probably shouldn't be intervening directly in roleplays without first contacting the mule to lay out a plot. Traditionally the chaos should be enough to allow some level of brainwashing (such as making the character more loyal, loosening their morals, making them more aggressive/etc) so for any severe brainwashing/direct influence from Metallia, a plot would have to be sent in and approved.

If we have a past life wonder claimed for a corrupted character, but it's now being quested, is there a protocol for changing it if we want to make room for the quester? Quoting the original post and fixing it/PMing the mule/etc?
And, what if we already have past life RP with this character and want to change wonders? Is this possible or allowed? Or are wonders pretty much set once we pick them?
Absolutely! If you have a past life wonder claimed and it has only been used or referenced in the past life subforum, you are free to change it to something else to open it up. If it is referenced or discussed between characters present day it might be a bit more difficult, though if it is strictly limited to past life, this is no issue at all! All you will have to do is edit the references in your current RPs to reflect whatever your new choice of wonder is and quote or edit the original post to list the new name/wonder. Please also PM or quote the mule so we can see it and make appropriate changes to the master list!

Sailor Celemorrow and Sailor Chibi Aludra are about to set out on a mission to beat up some scientists and save some lab rats...and bunnies...and puppies, etc. Fists will fly. Powers may be used.
My question is: Is this scenario enough to qualify for a Battle RP? My assumption is yes, as I'm pretty sure it has all the requirements for one, but I just wanted to make sure.
Iris: For a battle to count you tend to need two powered characters fighting against each other (even if it's teammates simply sparring). Fighting regular people with no powers shouldn't be much of a difficult task for powered characters and doesn't really count as battle experience.
If a youma ended up involved it could be a youma battle, but otherwise this would just be a regular rp. Sorry about that!
Thanks!

I kind of remember in the sub of the anime that covering up the forehead mark of the guardian cats eg. with a plaster rendered them as ordinary cats
Would the same apply here if for some reason a guardian's cat forehead star was somehow covered?
Iris: Sorry for the crazy delay in answering this!! It totally stumped the staff and took some real discussion.
Cat's are connected in a way to Mau through their stars. It's where most of their power and abilities come from (both Order and corrupted cats!) even if they don't realize it.
Covering a cat's star for just a few moments won't do anything to it (nor would a magical clothing accessory of their own that slightly obscures it). If however a cat's star was covered for a prolonged period of time they would slowly lose their powers and after 24-36 hours would be on par with normal cats (can't talk, can't shoot magical lasers, can't create henshin pens or upgrade them).
As soon as the star is uncovered once more they will be reconnected to Mau and after a little recharging time would be back to normal, so it's not permanant, but you can definitely do some plots that involve your cat losing their powers for a little while if you'd like!

How do personalized items work with side swaps? Do you lose your item if you purify/corrupt?
Iris: Once you earn a personalized item it is yours to keep! In the event of a side swap they would still keep their item, but if desired it could mutate minimally to better fit their new side.
Basically if this comes up just pm the shop mule and we will discuss it with you and help you figure out the best way to make sure you keep your item.
If of course for some reason you WANTED the corruption/purification to sever the ties with the item, that would be possible/allowed too. But that's all up to you. You do not automatically lose your item by swapping sides.

What do the access to the Negaverse databases looks like? Its coded out like its on computers, but is it just a couple regular computers set up in the dark kingdom space? in the RIFT? Are the special magical nega-crystal 'computers'?
Iris: The databases are stored in magical crystaline computers in Negaspace. It's not within the Rift, but out in the open area that is accessible to all ranks. The computers run off the same energy as the rest of the Negaverse. Aesthetically speaking they'd look like a mixture of crystal and computer and have touch screen technology and holographic keyboard.
Unfortunately they are only accessible within Negaspace so one can't access them outside of Negaspace (and therefore no crafty Order characters can breech the information).

May I PM a staff member with a question regarding space RP? Thanks in advance!
Iris: Staff inboxes are always open for questions. If it's something simple you can try any of the rp mods. If it's something trickier or larger however it should probably go to the shop mule instead.

Question! biggrin
Would a senshi be able to take a camera back to their planet with them, and take photos to bring home with them?
Or what about a sketch pad? If a senshi is a very good artist, or brings someone with them to draw their world?
Since Avior is defecting soon, and will loose connection with his planet, he wants to keep SOME sort of memory of the place! biggrin
This is totally possible, however would require a short PM to the mule so we can approve this! Because of the implications evidence of space exploration might cause if it fell into the wrong hand, we just want to double check that everything works out and keep tabs on who has what lying around. Senshi and knights are allowed to bring small mementos and tokens home to earth with them, so drawings shouldn't be any issue and actual photographs probably won't cause any harm. Regardless if your senshi intends to keep the pictures private or if you have interest of them falling into the wrong hands, we would still appreciate a PM to specify what is being photographed and what intentions you have for the pictures!

I've seen rp here or there referencing the black stars on Corrupted's foreheads and chests as actual physical holes. And in some, the corrupted themselves or officers actually poking around in there. Now Chaos agents have magical fist-chest rotorooting powers anyway, I know, but a hole is a hole if there's a hole there, right?
Question being, if those are physical holes into the Corrupted, Is it possible for a Knight, or a WMC Senshi, or a civilian, who doesn't naturally have the fist-chesting magic of chaos, to still poke around in there since a hole is a hole?
(don't ask me why they would, or why a corrupted would let someone just fuss around in there)
And if they can....is it into starseed hammerspace or are they going to poke in to muscle sinews?
Iris: This has actually come up before in personal plots but unfortunately been denied.
Despite there being a hole, characters that do not have the ability to reach into chests (aka anyone except Negaverse agents and Negaverse senshi) would not be able to reach in. An unseen barrier of magic would stop them if they tried.
It would be really silly of Chaos to leave a giant weakness like that (Death Star whut...?) where anyone could willy nilly walk up and grab their starseed.

Hello, I have a question about maintaining our powered characters' secret identities.
What constitutes learning a powered character's identity? Specifically, say, if Negaverser sees a civilian power up into a senshi, but does not know their name or other personal information, would that be a breach of the rules?
Thank you!
Iris: Yes, that situation wouldn't be allowed in our rules. Though it might take a tiny bit of effort it is still incredibly possible for the Negaverse agent to ask around or seek out the appropriate information to identify the person since they know what they look like.

As a follow up to Aqua's question (because I've been wondering for a long time): is it assumed that at least one person knows every powered person's identity?
For Negaverse agents, for example, is it assumed--even if corruptions are hand-waved--that the Negaverse knows the civi identity of the officer? Or, as a White Moon example, a Senshi--even if awakening is hand-waved--would have their civi identity known at least by that Guardian Cat?
Iris: Yes, your example is exactly correct. Whether or not someone has actually rp'd letting someone else know their identity either a Negaverse higher up or a cat would have had to have met and known the character's identity as part of the awakening.
The only group that doesn't have to have at least one person by default knowing their identity would be knights, since they awaken on their own.

I was just curious about whether guardian cats can post in the current Event ORP. I held off since the event's a civvie event and wasn't sure if cats were allowed but have seen a couple of other cats in the event so thought I'd check
Iris: Yes, Guardian cats can post! They just have to be on their best 'non talking kitty' like behavior as there are a lot of people (and security officers) around and it's pretty likely someone would notice if they are chatting too much.

Question about Energy Balls and Starseeds and nonChaos characters -
If the ones being carried by an officer from their most recent drainings/harvest are confiscated by a senshi do they poof immediately into none existence/to the cauldron? Can senshi touch/affect these things since they can't harvest them themselves from civilians?
And if they can touch them, do they dissipate? Do they stick around until the senshi powers down and then dissipate? Or do they stick around until the senshi actively uses or does something with them? Or do energy balls idsipate and the starseeds just sit there in a desk drawer ?
Iris: The energy that a Negaverse agent harvests is being kept as a 'ball' through their own concentration and effort. Because it's something they do pretty often it usually doesn't take someone focusing super duper hard (and therefore isn't often mentioned in rp other then sometimes for brand new agents just learning how to do it), but nonetheless it takes effort on the Negaverse agents part and therefore the bond that keeps it balled and trapped is fragile.
If hit hard enough, or if the officer distracted enough, it is possible for them to lose the energy ball themselves. When taken by an enemy it will almost immediately disperse back into the atmosphere because the Negaverse agent is no longer in control of it and able to focus on holding it together.
So a starseed that is already outside of a body can be held by anyone. It can be put back into the person it belongs or just.. held onto indefinitely, though eventually it will darken and die away from it's body.
But pure energy is something that only the Negaverse can actively hold and outside of their hands/pockets/whatever it will quickly dissapate.

Once upon a time two and a half years ago Mel, Deri and I were told that space youma could completely legitly attack the Surrounding, because of Alkaid's planet being corrupted and out-system Chaos seeds or whatever. Does this still hold?
Iris: The universe outside of the Surrounding has never been entirely cleared of monsters and Chaos, so it's entirely possible that Chaos aligned monsters could attack the Surrounding.
They however would not actually be 'youma' or from the Negaverse or Alkaid. The Negaverse doesn't currently have a reason to expend the immense amount of energy that it would require to control youma out in space.
But monsters from the outer universe can still be fought from the Surrounding if you'd like!
