Welcome to Gaia! ::

Can weapons/powers/uniforms behave unusually on homeworlds/wonders for the sake of personal plots, as long as they behave normally the rest of the time, or does this need to be approved on a case-by-case basis?

Iris: Case by case, pm the mule please for plots like this. :3

All hypothetical:

Could a knight travel from their wonder to the wonder of another knight on the same planet? Would they be able to enter the wonder uninvited, or does it require permission of the custodian knight? Would the wonder be visible? What happens to a knight's wonder if they corrupt? Does it disappear, or is it still there on the planet but abandoned?

Iris: Yes, you could technically walk from one wonder to another on the same planet (though you must still follow the rules regarding homeworld/wonder travel, and can't cheat the weeks rules by going to someone else's wonder first and then walking to your own earlier then you'd be able to travel there yourself.)

You cannot however enter a wonder uninvited, in most cases the 'owner' of that wonder would need to be present.

Whether or not the wonder would be invisible or visible to the outside world but incased with a magical barrier is really up to each person.

Wonders never disappear, not even when a knight corrupts or dies. They remain, abandoned, waiting for the next knight that will take up the task of protecting them. This would actually probably be the only time in which someone could enter a wonder that wasn't their own without permission (though if you would like to do this please send a message to the mule). During this time without protection a wonder could potentially be destroyed as well.

So I know there's a rule in place about the age range of a senshi when they awaken, but would this strictly apply to civilians who were of-age to awaken when first created but have since aged out?

i.e. I have a civ that was 17 when I first created him in 2009, but with the passage of time he would now be 22, which is over the age range for a senshi. Would it not be possible to quest for him as a senshi anymore?

Iris: Senshi cannot be over 20 years old (or younger than 7) when they henshin up for the first time. So unfortunately your character would not be questable as a senshi at their current age. Only a knight or negaverse agent.

I'm starting to formulate this plot in m'head and have a few questions about the plausibility of the situation I currently have, as well as some other details that I'm unclear about. I'd rather not post it here, though, 'cause there's still this giant question mark of whether it's even gonna happen. That said, I was hoping I could PM someone about it instead. o-o

Iris: The mules is always open for pms like this and it's probably one of the best places. Whereas any GM or rp mod might be able to give you their opinion/thoughts/and help the mule can give you a concrete answer of whether or not your idea will fly or work with you to try and make the plot work out.

looking back, sailor proxima had boleadoras. if memory serves, this item served an important function in her magic (and theoretically a nerf, as without it i doubt she could use that particular magic). i don't think she was a team leader, though. however, i know shaz was a gm at some time, which might explain why she had it? unsure of its origins, but that's not terribly pertinent to my question.

what i'm trying to say is, i can't explain why she has this item, as she's not a team leader and she was created before personal items (and personal items aren't supposed to serve a purpose in battle anyway). as far as i can tell as a relatively recent addition to the shop, she must've quested for this character and obtained her with the boleadoras as a constituent to her magic.

now, are we allowed to create senshi with these kinds of strange items that assist in their magic? or was she a special case? would it be possible to create a senshi or knight, and through ample rping, come up with a personal item that serves a similar function or would that bend the rules of personal items too much?

was this a possibility in oldshop, but was prohibited when the shop reopened?

Iris: She was a special case.

Senshi cannot have actual weapons, and while we allow some attacks to look kind of like weapons when cast (magic bow and arrow, magical sword) they should really only be there for brief seconds and disappear immediately, not be used and wielded like a weapon as Proxima's are.

When captain items reappear they won't be weapons either, they'll be a rod/staff that grants a casting magic. And personalized items, though they could technically look like weapons, aren't supposed to have battle application or give a person any advantage in battle, so an actual battle weapon is not possible.

So unfortunately no, you cannot quest for a senshi with a weapon or personalized item that works as a weapon. Weapons are for knights and the Negaverse.

On phone scanning- if a senshi scans someone in to their phone as they do for other senshi to add to their contacts, but the other person doesn't have a phone...what happens?

Is there still a contact entry for them that just says their name and an image, even if it doesn't connect to any other contact phone/number?
Does it return an error?

Iris: The information being 'scanned' actually comes from that character's phone versus from the person themselves. So only White Moon senshi would automatically pop up one someone's phone when scanned. Trying to scan a corrupted senshi or knight wouldn't retrieve any information.

However, a senshi is free to take a picture and manually input their own entry for a knight on their personal phone if they'd like. It wouldn't link to any contact form (unless of course the other person gave them their civilian phone number) but they can have an entry if they want.

What does it look like when a nega pulls energy from someone? Do they just... absorb it, or does the gathered energy take on a visible form?

I'm assuming agents can pull energy in sort of a discreet manner... are they able to hide the energy once they've got it, or is it a big, obvious ball of glowing stuff they have to hold onto?

I ask because I wondered if a nega could be in a crowd, discreetly pulling energy from the people around them or if they would be given away because they're suddenly holding this glowing ball of energy.

Iris: When a Negaverse agent drains energy it creates an actual ball of energy. This ball of energy is very fragile but is still capable of being put into a pocket or otherwise obscured.

There is generally assumed to be 'three types' of energy draining, one of which is a discrete format. It produces the least amount of energy but is easier to hide both in the orb it creates and in that most people being drained won't necessarily notice they are even being drained. So it's perfect for the situation you mentioned.

Basically she'd just drain, discreetly pocket her energy ball and hope that noone bumps into her pocket too hard.
