Birthday: April 1st
Sign: Aries
Gemstone: Topaz
Blood Type: AB-
Fav. Food: Grapes, Brie, Scallops, and fine chocolates
Hated Food: Pork, Veal, Bell Peppers, Peanut Butter
School: Sovereign Heights Preparatory
Hobbies:
Metalsmithing: Due to his deep love of jewelry and fashion, Lune took it upon himself to learn metalsmithing from when he was thirteen. His (over-doting and terribly loving) mother signed him up for classes, and he was hooked ever since. He’s not the best at it- not by a long shot- but there’s an artistry to Lune’s work that comes from his passion for the art. He’s not up to large things like belt buckles, or pottery pieces, but he’s got a sharp eye for earrings and necklaces. Very rarely does he give these gifts out- they’re very special to him, and with the time they take to create, they have to be earned. Considering that Lune isn’t one for lighthearted friendships, there aren’t many of his pieces floating around.
The metalwork is one of the few dirty jobs Lune is alright with. He'll b***h to anyone within earshot, afterwards, of how he hates getting gross and sweaty, but it's obvious when he's in the moment that he loves the work he's doing. Smiling and intent, it's clear there's nowhere else Lune would rather be than getting his hands rough with work to make something beautiful.
Calligraphy: It is only fitting that a boy taking the title of prince should have the artistry and handwriting befitting of one- and there is little Lune loves more than sitting and writing a beautifully-articulated piece. His notes are impeccable- those he manages to take beyond making his words pretty, anyway. The boy does his best to write whatever he can, from papers for class to scathing journals regarding his day. It’s been rumored Lune has given his hand at poetry, but he’s neither confirmed nor denied anything. He might be the one person who doesn’t understand the joke of Spongebob’s “the” in his essay; Lune could easily put hours into making one word as spectacularly beautiful as possible.
The hobby came from a desire to impress his mother- when he was young, she would dote on how lovely his cursive was. It exploded from there, trying hard to make her happy, and eventually spiraled off into something entirely for himself. The artistry and attention to detail have helped his jewelry-making, and there tend to be small personal signatures on the pieces he loves, just as artfully done as the works themselves.
Harp: Are you truly surprised? For a boy of Lune’s pretentiousness, he sought an instrument befitting his levels of class. Since his hands were calloused by metalwork, he figured… why not look into a stringed instrument? And there’s not one quite so elegant as the harp. The focus of it is akin to metal work, without exhausting him nearly so much. And there’s something pleasant about a skill people can look in on and admire him for. Lune is far more liberal with his playing of music than he is his jewelry; he enjoys letting people hear it. So if he does happen to play his harp for you… while he likely seeks your approval, it doesn’t mean he particularly cares for you.
Reading: What better way to pass the time and ignore people? None! Far less interruptible than watching a movie or… silly video games, a book is the perfect way to be anywhere you want to be. Lune is a deep lover of fantasy and romance- romantic fantasies are even better. Not that he’d ever admit as much, anyway. It’s very hard to tear him away from a series he loves- Lune is good at putting his nose to the page and ignoring everything around him. A particular favorite series of his is The Lord of the Rings; though honestly, that may come from a kinship with the elves of Rivendell. Pretentious? Snooty? Beautiful beyond reason? Check, check, and check. Give Lune anything with glamorous elves, and he’s likely to be interested. Maybe even a touch obsessive.
Virtues:
Well-Spoken: Silver tongued with the face to match, Lune could fall under the dictionary definition of “charming”. It’s not always (re: ever) sincere, but he can woo if he so feels inclined. The boy’s full of compliments and gentle phrases, bred from etiquette classes in his youth. Usually, this comes in getting himself out of trouble, but… it can occasionally be sincere. It’s just a bit difficult to tell, at times. Lune tends to be more insincere and false with women, due to a bit of misogyny on his part. But with friends, if he’s kind and reassuring… more often than not, Lune means it. With the few people he cares about, he won’t jerk your chain at all.
Loyal: It’s hard to earn Lune’s trust, but once you do, you have a friend for life. He’ll hate anyone you do, trash-talk anyone who gives you a hard time… even go so far as to slash their tires, whether you wish it or not. Had a bad day, or got dumped? Lune’s there with a pint of chocolate ice cream, and telling you what an absolute witch that girl was, anyway. Need someone in a fight? He’s there. The only catch-22 is… anyone Lune swears loyalty to, he might be a little bit biased towards. Other side? What other side? You wronged someone he loves, and Lune will NOT stand by that.
If he's truly close with someone, the anger won't be forced at all- Lune WILL be angry for them, regardless of if they want him to be or not. But for casual friends, it's more of an expected action than anything. He'll be mad, buy you ice cream... and completely go home and forget about it. It's not that he doesn't care, but. ...Well, no. He doesn't.
Grace Under Pressure: Very little gets under Lune’s skin. Whether it’s a rude person in his face, or a test that’s half of his grade… Lune just doesn’t get flustered easily. It’s this trait that makes Lune good to rely on. If you don’t have the strength to stand on your own, Lune has your back. And is more than happy to do so. It’s this trait that might make him a good senshi, should the opportunity be presented to him. A fight won’t even cause Lune to bat a pretty little eyelash.
If Lune gets flustered at all, he bottles it. It will NOT exist when he is in public, and no one will ever know. However, this tends to build over time, and often ends with fits of Lune locking himself in his room to be alone and detox. Sometimes crying, sometimes watching a movie, sometimes punching a pillow. It all depends on what he's trying to work out and deal with.
A Natural Leader: Lune likes telling people what to do. More than that, he takes pride in his ability to manage groups and make sure everyone pulls their own weight. Always the one who took over school projects, Lune didn’t mind doing a few extra tasks, so that the whole group would be noticed. After all, if the group does badly, who does it reflect poorly on- the group, or the leader? And if Lune cares for his group, he will do anything to keep them safe. Even if a retreat humiliates him, well. It keeps the people who follow him alive. And that can never be a bad thing.
Flaws:
WHO are you ordering around?: Lune does not take kindly to orders. At all. Even if it’s someone Lune respects, he’s more likely to give someone lip than do what they say. This stems from a childhood of… not doing anything, really. When you’ve got a nanny and a maid, who has to do chores? Not this boy, that’s for certain. If he’s wheedled and coddled, he might be talked into doing a favor for you. But ordered? No way. That’s the fast way to get lip out of Lune, and maybe even a black eye. It’s far better to kiss his ask than risk Lune’s ire, in most cases.
And I won’t feel… a thing: On top of the insincerity Lune sometimes present, the boy has a difficult time really caring about anything. He sits through sad movies and songs without crying, and has a great deal of difficulty actually empathizing. He hasn’t had money troubles, and he’s never had issues with exes or anything. A life on the hill has just made Lune distant from people. Their problems aren’t his, therefore, he doesn’t really care about them at all. It isn’t that he doesn’t want to get invested in people, it’s just extremely difficult. Sometimes, you have to explain to Lune why you’re upset and what you’re feeling for him to register your emotions. For the people Lune cares about… when he gets it? Lune will give it his all. But until then, don’t expect much from him in the way of sympathy.
If Lune considers you a friend, he will try to understand your emotions- try being the key word. They are very alien and foreign to him, having acted superior and distant his whole life. Sometimes he'll ask to have things and clarified, but it's difficult for him to place. He just doesn't understand people, and finds it safer to hate them/tear them down, unless- again- they're someone he cares for and trusts.
Arrogance: Lune sees himself as amazing. Superb, stupendous… it’s hard to find a good adjective the boy doesn’t apply to himself. It’s this quality in particular that makes it a bit hard to convince Lune he isn’t the guy for a job. He can do it all, you know. So why shouldn’t he take this particular job? He’d be perfect for it. Convincing him otherwise is going to be a fight and a half, too- likely ending in some bruised egos on both parts. Someday, he might step down and realize that other people have talents… but until then, prepare yourself for a fight if you don’t think Lune’s up to something.
Loathing you my whole life long: Lune does not let go of grudges. Like, ever. Comment on an outfit or a piece of jewelry he’s done poorly, and you’re likely to make an enemy of Lune for life. Remember the comment you made to Lune in third grade about his hair? Lune does. And there is no way he’s letting it go. Even with friends or teammates, Lune is like to remember snide little comments like these. He might not be in your face and upfront about it, but it’s always going to stick in the back of his mind. And with a boy with a memory for injustices, it’s going to take a lot to make him forget anything.
It's done out of resentment more than anything. Comments even made in jest make Lune push himself even harder to be the best and be perfect. If there's a day he considers letting his hair be less-than-superb, he remembers third grade, and uses it to work harder. Obsessive? Yes. But currently, Lune has found no other way to be.
Quick Bio: Lune was born to two wealthy parents- a loving, doting housewife of a mother, and a businessman father who was never around. He was raised more by his nannies and maids than his parents- while his mother adored him, her time was devoted to her husband on the road. She was more of the “have some money I love you” parent than any actual affection; because of this, Lune was a quiet boy who valued possessions more than people. One of the few living souls he holds any affection for is his maid- but that might be because she cleaned up any mess Lune managed to make. His life was filled with private schools and the best tutors money could buy. Without friends or even parents to distract him, Lune’s studies excelled.
This boring, friendless life lasted until Lune reached high school, at which point he fell in with a tougher crowd. Not fights or anything, gracious know! But Lune was a terribly catty boy in his private school, smoking in the bathrooms and behind the bleachers. He took up a bit of a fascination with makeup, and seeing just how feminine he could get himself to look. And if he could ruin a day or two with his attitude? Well. That wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.
A swift kick in the rear from his still-absentee father helped to cut a lot of the poor behaviors before prep school. Or so it seemed, anyway. Lune is still fond of smoking, and being rude, but he seems to have gotten it under wraps for the sake of his studies. Not much has changed in the friends department, though. The guys he spent time with… didn’t exactly match his grades, and aren’t with him in his continued studies. So Lune is still forging out on his own, trying to find… something. Anything. To occupy his time.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Eyes: Thin almond shape, with a rich green color. Long light lashes, lighter than his hair, but still with a green tint.
Hair: Long and slightly wavy, just about hitting his shoulders. It’s thick and plentiful, and its obvious Lune lavishes it with the best shampoos and conditioners possible. On some of the strands, he’s threaded in pearls- gifts he inherited from his mother. But it’s one of his pride and joys, and he takes DAMN good care of it. It’s never in a ponytail- it’s something he wouldn’t risk tearing with scrunchies or anything. Plus, that’s just so… tacky!
Face: His face is lean and elegant, with a very cold expression to him at most times. It almost seems like he never gets sun- there used to be rumors he carried around a parasol, to block out the UV rays, but that’s just utterly ridiculous. On most makeup scales, though, he falls under porcelain- if not even lighter. He’s thin, and elegant, and overall looks like he’s too snooty to do much of anything.
Clothes: His prep school uniform. On off days, he dabbles in long sweaters, scarves, and anything deemed “fashionable.” However, even in uniform, he will NOT ditch the pearls.

Attacks:
Sailor Scout Attack: Melchior's Gift of Pearls!
With a wave of his hand, Sailor Melchior can summon pearls, which are then scattered by the magic which summoned them. When scattered, the pearls serve as base-level projectiles (akin to throwing a small rock with decent force), or can be hindrances to trip on for... well, just about anyone.
Range: Anywhere from 0-15ft
Target: Whoever unfortunately gets whacked or trips on them
Duration: Can only create about five or ten pearls, and only be used two times a battle- three if he's pushing it. Pearls melt after 30 seconds of existence.
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Melchior's Pearl Surprise!
With a wave of his hand, Sailor Melchior can summon pearls, which have a better targeting magic at this stage. When scattered, the pearls serve as base-level projectiles (akin to throwing a small rock with decent force), or can be hindrances to trip on for... well, just about anyone.
UNLIKE their base level, these pearls have a nasty habit of exploding on contact. It isn't a blast that's terribly damaging, but it packs a nastier punch than its early form. This can serve as a significant distraction, and even create minor cuts/bruises, or knock a person over should it explode under-foot.
Range: Anywhere from 0-15ft
Target: Whoever unfortunately gets whacked or trips on them.
Duration: Can only create about five or ten pearls, and only be used two times a battle. Since they explode, the shards don't tend to stick around.
Eternal Sailor Attack: Melchior's Pearl Shield!
Using a great deal of focus and energy, Sailor Melchior can summon up a 7ft half-pearl, which can serve as a shield, or even a trap. It takes a lot of concentration on his part, since it has to be maintained or else it'll weaken.
Range: Only within a 10ft radius, since it takes so much focus and effort to maintain
Target: However many people can fit behind, or in, the half-pearl shell. Very typically only one or two people, unless his allies feel like squeezing into the most uncomfortable barrier ever.
Duration: One minute in length. When a minute has passed, the shield dissolves into nothing.

Hello, sorry for the long wait but thank you for being patient!
Hobbies:
Metalsmithing: This can be a dirty job depending on how he makes the jewelery (unless he gets the metal ready made into shape? he would have to bend/fire the metal, hammer it into place, engrave it, mold it etc etc quite a sweaty job!) How does he feel about this aspect on himself seeing as he comes across as someone i cant picture rolling around in mud! Does he hate it? Is it a price to pay for the beauty he creates? I can see why people have to earn them if he goes through all this trouble!
Calligraphy: How did he get into this? Although you point out it because he has the title 'prince' was there a catalyst for him developing this hobby? Is it just apart of his artist flare? Does it help with the design of his metalwork, is that what drew him to that hobby? or did metalwork inspired him to design and use calligraphy as an outlet?
Virtues:
Loyal/Grace under pressure How does he portray himself to his friends if they have been wronged? Does he ever get flustered or annoyed at them? Or if he is, is it just an act to show his friends he's on their side even though he himself isn't really bothered by it? Do he show any real annoyance at them being hurt? Or is it just 'meh', man up?
Also how does he not let the pressure get to him? Or when it does how does he show it? Does he just ignore it, close his eyes and count to ten? Goes off to bash some metal? Or just he believe he is truly, truly higher than all the little foibles of this world that it just doesn't even register?
Flaws:
And I won’t feel… a thing:You have made a point of saying Lune doesn't show care, loyalty yes, but loyalty doesn't necessarily mean you can show love and care for someone, just that you would stand by them through thick and thin (you can appear as the annoying nasty person that wont leave you alone!) So with that in mind is Lune's sympathy fake with his friends? Wouldn't this be too far beneath him to lower himself to their level, does he have the time to ponder to their needs? I can understand he relishes in the wake of others woes and enjoys being the bitchy gossip who makes someone feel better by telling them the other person is a cow, but does he mean it on the right level instead of getting something out of it himself? I hope that makes sense?
Loathing you my whole life long: So just to confirm if someone 'saves him' and they become the best of friends but there was that time he called Lune a snob, Lune would hold that against them but under wraps till a time portrayed itself for him to use it? Like arsenal for a future fight? Just so he can win at said fight? Although technically they haven't fallen out it just always about him being top dog in these situations even with his friends?
Senshi:
Attacks: Do the pearls remain for the whole battle? Or do they vanish? Melt? Or remain there and just get under everyone's feet FOREVER? Its OK if they stay, for example Sailor Ate uses pollution around her, she doesn't clean it up after XD I just wanted to clarify since if they are left (especially the super attack) civilians are not going to have a fun time if they step on one XD
It a funny situation, I cant decide if 1 minutes is just a little too long. Maybe 45 seconds? Since most battles are 5mins long his shield is blocking for a long time, or if you are OK with the penlites in place. It give you a lot of control on how long your attack lasts, or whether or not you decide if an attack by the other person is strong enough to knock time off it.
I think although you have given plenty of penlites for the shield attack i think it needs more detail of how it reduces in time. Like a Lt can wipe of 10 seconds with every attack, Captain 15, General 20. Or to lower the duration and just have it solid until say 30 seconds is up!
Hope this helped <3

This profile looks really interesting! Everything looks good to me, though I have a few questions about attacks!
Firstly is about the range of the first two attacks; when he uses his attack and summons the pearls, must he throw them as soon as he summons his magic or does he get to pick and choose when and where he disperses of them? It's not very typical in senshi magic that someone can summon their magic and instead of having a set time period that the magic affects opponents, so I think it might fit in more with senshi guidelines if his attack scattered the pearls where he wanted when he summons them rather than him being able to hold onto them throughout the fight.
I'm somewhat hesitant about saying it's fine for the pearls to remain after the affect just because when a senshi uses their attack, it is summoned through magic. He wouldn’t be summoning real pearls, but rather magical pearls. Instead of them remaining after the battle, I think it might work better if any remaining pearls [for both attacks] either turned to dust/shimmered out of existence [or in the case of the second attack] just detonated after a set period of time [thirty seconds, maybe?]
Also is the range; the range is huge and while he can throw/roll the pearls, I think this is really large and even with the pearls rolling don't suggest they go more than fifteen or so feet.
For the eternal attack! I think it would be all right if you wanted to do sort of a halfway point—instead of making the attack last for only thirty seconds if distracted or a minute if concentrated, maybe the magic could just last for forty five seconds regardless of his emotional state? [Or just have it be at one minute?] I'm also somewhat hesitant about the idea of it serving as both a shield and a trap. I think this might just be the phrasing as he could cast a shield over the enemy that would trap them, since it is still a shield! I don't think it's necessary that attacks specifically affect the duration of the pearl [since at an eternal stage, he should be fairly strong—and the way this is written, one or two attacks from a general would cause his shield to break].
[And just to clarify, he has to be within a twenty foot radius of someone to use the shield over them? If so, I might recommend this be fifteen feet just to keep it from being too big without hindering his attack at all!]
If you make any changes or have any questions, give me a quote and I'll be back as soon as possible!

Hey, Moonstone! The attacks look pretty good to me and I will be ready to drop a stamp for this profile as soon as I offer one small suggestion!
For his eternal attack, you don't have to have shorten the duration based on the level of the opponent attacking. For example, he should be roughly on par with a General at this stage, so it would be fine if you wanted to say that a lieutenant and captain's attacks did little damage, but only a generals attacks could lessen the time he was able to cast the shell—or you don't have to have an opponent's attack affect the duration at all! It's up to you, though! If you want to have the opponent's attack shorted how long he can use his magic, you can, however it isn't required and you would be fine without that bit.
Otherwise, just let me know if you want to keep the attacks reducing the length of his magic OR change that, but I'll give you a stamp for either choice!
