Senshi: Sailor Lesath DMC Senshi of Moths

Challenge: Do you know what Mottephobia is?




Fuku: ---->



Attacks: These are your senshi's abilities, which will be used in battle. These abilities correspond to your senshi's element. Think of it as a "summary" of what your senshi can do in one word.

Sailor Scout Attack: Moth Scream
Sailor Lesath lets out a piercing high pitched frequency which is able to disorientate the people around her. She can't control who hears the sound and who is affected, so her allies can be disorientated from the sonic sounds as well as people opposing her. The sounds can go out for a five foot radius around her, affecting everyone in this area. She can keep up the sound for twenty seconds.

Super Sailor Scout Attack: Piercing Moth Scream
Sailor Lesath lets out the same piercing high pitched frequency, though this time she can direct who is affected, meaning those who are on her side won't be affected by the noise and won't get distracted. The frequency is a bit stronger now, and can cause some head pain if it is heard. She can keep the sound up for thirty five seconds and her area of affect goes up to a ten foot radius.

Eternal Sailor Attack: Moth Swarm
Using a very, very high pitched frequency, Lesath creates a group of magical moths...a lot of magical moths. (Between 100 and 150, all moths between a half inch to an inch in size) They remain in the area for up to thirty seconds, and they do as much damage as a moth could do. They're itchy, they tickle, they can get in your mouth; (They taste bad, very bad. Not candy bugs at all.) The moths nibble at the clothes of the opponent and just cause as much chaos as they can, serving as a distraction, and maybe even a cause for the opponent to leave--if they have a fear of bugs.
One downside to this is moths can be distracted with false light sources or fire, fire can burn them just as it can burn normal moths. They can be injured by attacks, and when they die (Except for deaths by incineration), they crumble into dust which lingers in the air and can also be a slight irritant, getting into opponent's--or allies eyes and mouths. Dust can linger for about five seconds after the moth's 'deaths'. The moths can extend to opponents within ten feet of Lesath

I adore you. <3

Does it work a little better now?

BTW. Moth dust sounds disgusting and makes me want to throw all my clothes in the wash. D= Ew... XD

I'm sorry, but you're going to have to find a different concept for her Eternal attack. @_@ Having an intelligent summons that can change their behavior is not appropriate for a senshi attack, and here you have her summoning a creature that can do a variety of different things depending on the situation. An attack needs to have a finite and consistent set of effects, not be that variable! It also seems more evocative of the idea of fear / mottephobia instead of moths themselves.

In general we like to see attacks for animal spheres approached in a way that does not involve directly summoning the animal in question -- in part because of what I described above. It's usually more practical to put together attack concepts that portray the IDEA of the animal: this can be accomplished by looking at abilities or characteristics that are unique to moths, or drawing from symbolism that moths are associated with.

A particularly neat ability that you're already hinting at is the moth's ability to use sonar to confuse or deter predators. One thing you could do is give her a distracting / disorienting sonar attack at normal and Super, and move the moth swarm attack up to Eternal. You could also search around for other stuff you can associate with moths in order to come up with more ideas if you're not fond of that one. c:

Just need to specify what area / radius each attacks cover! Then you're all gravy. c:

I still don't know how big a radius / how many targets her Eternal attack can extend to. c: Add that in, please?

Looks awesome, thank you!
