Eastern Constellation Concept Contest
Starts: NOW!!!
Ends: October 2nd, 2015





Welcome!

This is a group concept contest, made up of four members!
To enter, you'll be forming a group with fellow RP members to make a team that flows well together, both ICly and OOCly!

This concept contest is special as it is a group orientated concept contest, and we are looking for creativity and teamwork when choosing the winners!

By group; This mean players will choose members of a group and base their entrants around a constructed history built for these four senshi. As there is four girls, four members will be needed for each group!

All of the girls will be Meadowview students and will be roughly the same age between 14 and 18. We'd like to see what sort of backstory you create based on them being part of the same school AND having a connection together as a senshi team, Are they friends who come into their powers together? Strangers who have discovered each other? What are your ideas?

Added to that, The girls come with premade spheres, based on the cardinal points of direction! We would love to see how YOU take it to the next level!


First please, pay attention to our General Rules and Regulations:
  • Please be sure to follow the rules of the shop, and of our event thread as well as any direction given to you by a staff member.
  • Please do not post anything other than submission forms in this thread. Chatter is all well and good, but stop by the main thread for it!
  • Any character that does not fit within the Gaia ToS will be reviewed and asked to be changed, if no changes are made, the entry will be disqualified.


Now that you've got through that, time for Event Rules and Regulations:
  • Please fill out all forms completely! We have removed the section for fukus for powered since they are semi-premade characters with spheres already chosen. This means that while their outfits will not change, you are in control of skin color, eye color and hair color and style!
  • All regular shop rules apply in character creation; if you have questions, please ask in the main thread or send a PM to our shop mule!
  • Please be nice and courteous to fellow players, Any bullying or discouraging players of entering will result in consequences at Staff discretion.
  • While there will be only one group to win the characters, we want to reward everyone who participates. All entrants will be rewarded a crown token after the winners are chosen!
  • You can enter with a maximum of TWO groups. To keep the thread organized, please choose a group name for your group and include the members of this group (this is not the senshi team name) and post which group you are entering for each entry. If you find it easier, you may spoiler your entry under your group name. (If you are entering more then one entry)
  • All members of the group must post their entries! If a group does not have a complete member turn in (All 4 members), the entries (unfortunately) are disqualified. (However you still will earn a crown token!)
  • Posted too soon? Don't worry! You may edit your post until the contest closes on (THE END DATE).
  • These are semi-premade characters, with School kid art. School kid art will be done by corresponding artist. (Suzaku/Byakko is Beejoux, Seiryuu is Kaori_Luv and Genbu is Sylent Nyte)



Quote:
If you are having trouble finding a group, or need a couple members to complete yours, Head on over to this thread: [HERE]!!




The Forms:
[b]Name:[/b]

[b]Nickname:[/b]

[b]Age:[/b]

[b]Birthday:[/b]

[b]Sign:[/b]

[b]Gemstone:[/b] Follows your zodiac sign.

[b]Blood Type:[/b]

[b]Fav. Food:[/b]

[b]Hated Food:[/b]

[b]School:[/b] Meadoview High School

[b]Hobbies:[/b] What does your character do outside of school during their civilian life? Note that this is an activity that they do on a regular basis, and reflects their personality. How often do they do this activity? Why? Note that if it's a once-in-a-blue-moon activity, then it's most likely not a hobby. List at least two, just try not to go overboard.

[i]e.g. [/i]

[i]Reading[/i] - Matt McMat loves to read joke books in order to come off as a funny guy. He doesn't like to read mystery, romance, or horror books because of the serious tone they take, and thinks they're most useful for making paper airplanes out of. In fact, this is why Matt McMat can't visit the Destiny City Library unattended.

[b]Virtues:[/b] These are positive aspects about your character's personality that affects them on a daily basis. Specifically, these are non-physical traits (such as 'generous', 'kind' and 'outgoing') that other people will look up to your character for having. These are used not only for role-play, but to also help the artist decide on expression and personality. Two traits minimum, four maximum.

[i]e.g. [/i]

[i]Outgoing[/i] -- Matt McMatt is an outgoing guy. He's always the life of the party, and tends to love organising parties for no reason but having parties. He's an effervescent party animal. When it comes to answering a question, Matt McMatt is usually the first to offer an answer even if it isn't correct of what someone is looking for.

[b]Flaws:[/b] Second verse, same as the first. Things that are not flaws: 'stubborn', 'hates seeing people hurt their friends', phobias, mental illnesses, diseases, being 'too nice' (unless they are SO NICE that it is an ACTUAL FLAW), etc. Like the virtues, these are non-physical traits about your character that affects them daily, however these are attributes about your character that give other people reason to look DOWN on your character. We'd like two of each, try to keep to four maximum. This helps the artist decide expression, personality.

e.g.

[i]Selfish[/i] -- Matt McMatt can be really self-centered. He thinks about himself long before any of his friends, and whether or not things impact on him. If he finds something boring or not worth his time, he rarely goes through with it to help out a pal. He can be a bit of a fair-weather friend, because he first and foremost thinks about himself.


PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

[b]Eyes:[/b] Colour, shape. No heterochromia (different-coloured eyes), please!

[b]Hair:[/b] Colour, style, accessories. We'd rather you pick style words rather than give us an exact style to copy.

[b]Face:[/b] Shape, features -- tell us if your character has a round or oval or heart-shaped face, freckles or not, big ears or not.

[b]Clothes:[/b] Only if you're applying for an adult. The artist reserves the right to not draw complicated outfits, and this will generally be your work clothes. You will be getting a simply drawn outfit/uniform.



[b]Senshi:[/b] Suzaku // Byakko // Seiryuu // Genbu (Please choose the one you are trying for.)

The spheres correspond like this:
Suzaku being South (The Senshi of South)
Byakko being West (The Senshi of West)
Seiryuu being East (The Senshi of East)
Genbu being North (The Senshi of North)

[b]Challenge:[/b] Goes on the cert. Default is "In the Name of [Celestial Object the Senshi's Power comes from], I'll punish You!"
ie, for Sailor Moon her default challenge is, "In the Name of the Moon, I'll punish you!"

[b]Attacks:[/b] 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.

[b]Sailor Scout Attack:[/b] Name.
This is your most basic attack. For example, Sailor Jupiter shot lightning bolts at her enemy from a lightning rod that hid in her tiara.

[b]Super Sailor Scout Attack:[/b] Name.
This attack is an UPGRADE of your first attack. Your first attack is more powerful, and can have a cosmetic change. Ie, Sailor Jupiter's lightning attack takes on the form of an eastern dragon when shot at her enemy.

[b]Eternal Sailor Attack:[/b] Name.
This is your senshi's most powerful attack. It is different than your senshi's Sailor and Super attack. For instance, Sailor Jupiter's eternal "Sparkling Wide Pressure/Jupiter Thunderclap Zap" enabled her to form a disc/frisbee of lightning that she could throw at her enemy.


This last blurb is where you will put your character's (and group's characters) backstory! If you would like a unified backstory for all of the characters, then you can have one person post it for the group!

In addition to the unified backstory you will need to submit for your group, you may also include more information about your character's personal history if you like!



[b]History:[/b] This special section was added to see what sort of history your girls could have! Do they know each other before becoming senshi? Are they a group of friends? How did they awaken? Did they awaken together? Write your plots here about your girls awakening here!

Team Fushigi Yuugi: Sleet Tempest Snape, Torvil, fiction1119, _ p a o cx


Name: Eun-Kyung Lee
Note: Eun-Kyung means - composed of elements meaning “silver” and “graceful”.

Nickname: Enu (to Americans); Those younger than her can call her sunbae or eonni and those older call her hubae also or they can use the term dongsaeng.
Note: Sunbae/ hubae/ Eonni/Dongsaeng/Noona: Age differences are important in South Korea. It stems from the Confucian concept of filial piety and respecting your elders. As a result:
Sunbae: Senior. (You say it to a senior/someone who has more experience in anything).
Hubae: Junior. (You say it to anyone who has less experience in anything).
Both sunbae and hubae are primarily used in the workplace and school. Both are gender neutral and show that the two involved are not that close.
Eonni: What girls say to older sisters or girls older than themselves that they are close to. This is for people who are close to each other.
Dongsaeng: younger siblings.
Noona: A younger male would call an older female this.
These can use these as suffixes to their names, or you can just call them by those words alone.


Age: 16

Birthday: September 29th (she'd just be turning 16 this year.)

Sign: Libra

Gemstone: Sapphire, pink tourmaline, or bloodstone.

Blood Type: AB

Fav. Food: Kimchi, elephant fish (yes, it is a thing), kkak-dugi (raddish kimchi), and Galbijim Deokbaegi with rice.

Hated Food: Greasy fast food, too much grease and it upsets her stomach.

School: Meadoview High School

Hobbies:
Wandering: Most wouldn’t think this a hobby but it seriously is! Rather than running like some people do you could say Eun-Kyung goes wandering, or walking, it’s usually fairly aimless with no destination in mind. She’ll go out late at night, typically sometime after dinner, and just let her feet guide her. She keeps her phone with her, as she’s had to more than once find her way home from these wanderings, but she enjoys the time out and alone where she can clear her head and just relax and enjoy the calm of the night. She has found interesting shops during these wanderings of hers, which she always makes note of on her phone, but typically she just finds comfort in wandering about the city enjoying the time to herself. It’s not that she dislikes, or had anything against, going out and wandering during the daylight hours but it defeats the purpose somewhat as more people are out and about and the city is more alive, and she is looking for the peace and quiet which the nighttime can offer her better. It’s rare that someone will join her, whether they join her in the middle of her wanderings or they go out with her, but it isn’t an unwanted thing most of the time. It’s just something which rarely happens. This also serves as a good form of exercise, not that she really thinks about this honestly.

Myths and Fairytales: It’s a nice escape from the harsh world around them in which they live; really it is. But beyond that the stories are just lovely, especially fairytales and the classics. Myths however are a bit of a different thing. I mean the basic storylines used in myths are used over and over again even in modern times, it’s really interesting. But more than anything these stories serve as a nice escape into another world, something she never minds sharing with other people as everyone needs an escape every now and again - right? She doesn’t think she’s a princess, nor does she or has she ever wanted to be one, but the idea of them is very nice. She’s taken to collecting myths and fairytales to put onto her bookshelf, this includes myths and legends from various cultures and countries. She does prefer the “nicer” stories but she’s not too picky as to where she wouldn’t put something on her shelf because it’s a bit “darker”. Some of these books she’s had to buy online but whenever she can find one at a local book store Eun becomes overjoyed, it’s one less book to order and wait for, and she’s become a bit well known at some of the local book stores because she stops in on a fairly regular basis. This has lead to some conversations with some of the workers, some think she’s rather childish for liking such books meanwhile she’s sixteen, whilst others don’t care or even understand. She’s never really had a long discussion, or even one lasting more than a few minutes, about her collection of books so she’s never been able to really get into things or even make suggestions or have them made to her. This isn’t to say she wouldn’t make suggestions or really get into discussing things with people, she just hasn’t found anyone all that interested.

Internet Surfing: Ever wonder how she knows little bits of information about all kinds of things? It’s really easy when you have the internet at your finger tips and the ability to look up almost anything! One thing, a simple search, can lead to Eun-Kyung searching up several other things as a word she didn’t know was used, some topic she didn’t know was mentioned, or the original thing ties into something else. Either way it’s very common for one thing she looks up to lead into several more searches and many more websites read over as she feeds her curiosity and need to know and understand things. Perhaps one could call her a dump of useless bits of information that likely will never be needed, unless she gets onto some game show. It’s rare when she ever needs to pull out these little bits of information and put them to use, it has happened a few times though in classes or when talking with people.

Music: Who doesn’t like music? Eun-Kyung certainly isn’t among the small minority of people who dislike music, as surely it must be a small group. Surprisingly however she’s not just a music fan but she likes to play her music rather loudly and has a tendency to fangirl, in private, over certain groups from back home in Korea. She’s been to concerts, taking her elder cousin with her from time to time, with friends and has been known to blush uncontrollably, squeal, and perhaps on occasion scream for her favorites. It’s not something most would expect of her or even know about her unless they spend enough time in private with her or one of her favorite groups is brought up and she’s unable to contain herself. The manner of which she expresses her love for certain groups, or group members, is typically in the form of blushing, squeals, and other little shy things which she tries to cover up as much as possible so as to not gain attention to herself. She is an E.L.F(Everlasting Friends) and a Shawol (SHINee World) among others (she’s also a V.I.P, Cassiopeia, and EXO-L). She doesn’t care which agency/label a group belongs to or anything else, she doesn’t give into the idea that you can only like certain groups and not others, she likes who and what she likes.


Virtues:
Intelligence: Need help with studying for an exam, help with homework? You can ask Eun-Kyung for that help and she’ll be more than happy to help and explain, even simplify, things for you! She’s not the sort to shove her intelligence in your face but it’s there, just under the surface, it really only shows if one looks at exam scores of when a teacher asks her something and she answers in detail (which she almost always done, much to her own embarrassment). This intelligence also shows up at odd little moments when with friends, or family, when she’ll pipe up with some fact or some odd little factoid that someone her age either shouldn’t know or makes one wonder where/how she knows about that topic.

Quiet: Eun-Kyung doesn’t like to make a scene, in fact she doesn’t even like to raise her voice at all - ever. It’s not that she can’t raise her voice but it’s that she doesn’t like to. She does not like or want the attention being loud puts on people. She would rather wait until someone directed the topic at her before speaking up. This does allow her to move amongst people, hearing things, without being noticed as she is a quiet individual who doesn’t seek to gain people's attention. It also means she is a wonderful person to tell your darkest secrets to. They will never see the light of day again.

Peacekeeper: She has never been one for conflict, she doesn’t like to be on one side or another of an argument. Rather she will take the middle and “play Switzerland” in that she will listen to both, or all, sides and try and help everyone get at least some of what they want while giving a bit as well. Compromise is the name of the game. She tries to keep everyone around her in some form of harmony and not just because it keeps the calm that she needs but how else can people work or function together if they aren’t balanced? This applies to friends, her siblings, and anyone else whom she is close to. She wants those in her life to be in harmony as much as possible.

Observant: Because Eun is able to move around rooms and groups of people without being noticed she is able to observe other people, not to mention listen to them, and learn a variety of things many might miss. None of what she finds out is ever used against people, but it is used to help people if possible, she isn’t the sort to blackmail a person or anything of the sort. She just likes to collect information about the people and things around her in order to help herself and others, you learn something new every day - right?


Flaws:
Blunt: Would would someone want her to lie to them? To be less than honest? She doesn’t understand this, or she does but she doesn’t see the point in it or how it’s helpful to lie to someone, so rather than lying to someone or even softening the blow Eun-Kyung tells it like it is. She is honest and blunt and often times this means she is ruining someone's happy thought, self imagined fantasy, or bringing someone crashing back to reality in some manner. It also leaves her with insulting people at times, either as an outright insult or by telling someone just how wrong about something they are via correcting them. This has caused more than a few issues, especially with teachers. Her parents have gotten used to this and the few friends she has, or rather the few she’s managed to keep, understand and accept this about her as well. Those who accept this trait have learned to just not ask her certain things unless they really do want the truth.

Doormat: Eun-Kyung doesn’t like to make waves, she doesn’t even like to make ripples, so it stands to reason that she follows the lead of others. It’s not that she can’t lead, she’s not stupid nor slow, it’s just that she doesn’t like the limelight and would rather just point out little things from the sidelines while letting others make the grand plans and decide on the overall thing, whatever it may be. The problem however is that Eun is easy to “convince” into doing things for you, or others. Don’t wanna do your part of the group project? Just make enough of a fuss and she’ll take on the extra work. Really she needs someone to keep her from being walked all over, and she knows she lets people walk all over her but it avoids conflict and she really doesn’t want to start a fight over little things.

Guilt ridden: She knows what she says can hurt, bother, and anger people and she does feel guilt for everything she says and perhaps this feeds into how soft spoken and shy she can be at times, or rather it does certainly feed into her other behaviors. She isn’t going to apologize but she will second guess things, feel bad for everything she’s said, and hope that people don’t let whatever she’s said guide future interactions between her and them.

Skeptic: Seeing and hearing people when they don’t think anyone can has led to Eun-Kyung doubting what people tell her as she knows people don’t always mean what they say, she has seen what people are like behind the mask they wear. She will still help people, and listen to them, but there are always doubts in her mind and she doesn’t take everything at face value; she’s learned to take it all with a few grains of salt. It is because of this that problems have risen between herself and other people as she tends to ask many questions, more than need be, perhaps in order to gain more information and validate things to herself. But also she has been known to hesitate on things because of this skepticism as well and people have become upset with her in the past. It’s not her fault though - people just aren’t that trustworthy, at least not when you’ve seen what people can and are really like. The only people exempt from this are members of her family and those few friends she has who might as well be family, because she’s seen them without the masks and knows she can trust them.



PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Eyes: Dark brown almost black in color and narrow, thanks to being Korean, she's got a monolid.

Hair: Black hair, long and dark and straight.

Face: Heart shaped with no noticeable marks. She has simple stud earrings, one in each ear lobe.

Clothes: School uniform - Meadowview.



Senshi: Sailor Byakko Senshi of the West.
Challenge: I suggest you surrender.

Attacks:
Sailor Scout Attack: Western Gust
Byakko raises her right hand and points her finger toward her target, they have to be within 10 feet of Byakko, while calling her attack. She then swings her hand to the west of her and points at the ground. As she finishes her call, an ethereal manifestation of her constellation creature appears to the east of her opponent(s). The creature paws the ground and roars at the target, sending out a gust of wind in a 45 degree cone, pushing those caught in the eight foot blast in a western direction. The gust of wind can kick up dust and small debris, it lasts twenty seconds and can be used three times in battle.

Super Sailor Scout Attack: Western Gales
Byakko raises her right hand and points her finger toward her target, they have to be within 10 feet of Byakko, while calling her attack.She then swings her hand to the west of her and points at the ground. As she finishes her call, an ethereal manifestation of her constellation creature appears to the east of her opponent(s). The creature paws the ground and roars even harder at the target, sending out a gale of wind in an eight foot long, 90 degree cone, causing those caught in it to stumble and lose their footing as they fight against the blast and any debris it picks up. The attack lasts for twenty-five seconds and can be used three times in battle.

Eternal Sailor Attack: Western Vortex
Byakko raises her hand to the west and then points her finger toward her target, they have to be within 10 feet of Byakko, while calling her attack. She then swings her hand back to the west of her and points at the ground. As she finishes her call, a large (about the size of a dire wolf) ethereal manifestation of her constellation creature appears to the east of her opponent(s). The creature paws the ground and roars, causing a 90 degree swirling vortex to issue from its jaws. This vortex is ten feet long and has a 5 foot radius at its end. Those caught in the vortex are spun around and shot out to the west. They are battered by any debris picked up by the vortex as well as anything they might hit while being flung out. They are flung out of the vortex and land about five feet away. This attack last 30 seconds and can be used twice in battle.

Note: The ethereal creature Byakko is just that - ethereal and thus cannot be killed or removed by any magical or physical means once he is summoned until the attack is over. You can of course step out of range, be knocked/pushed out of range, or in some other way avoid the attack. The last thing to note is that the ethereal creature Byakko does not and cannot move position/direction. He will always show up in the same direction.

Personal Story: Eun-Kyung just recently just moved to Destiny City with her uncle, aunt, and her elder and younger cousins one of whom is Seung Kim. They moved here together shortly after Eun's parents died in a car accident in Seoul, she thankfully came away with bumps, bangs, and some stitches but nothing beyond that in the physical sense. Taken in by her mothers elder brother and his family EunKyung has been slowly settling in but due to work changes for her uncle they've all had to pack up and move to Destiny city. Her cousin has, at least when not home or in school, been her protector as he not only knows more English but is protective of his quiet and shy cousin.

Name: Ayane Kotone

Nickname: Aya

Age: 16

Birthday: November 11

Sign: Scorpio

Gemstone: Peridot

Blood Type: O+

Fav. Food: Moon Cakes

Hated Food: Sashimi

School: Meadowview High School

Hobbies:

Playing the Ruan: Ayane enjoys playing the Ruan (specifically the Zhongruan), a traditional instrument passed down to her from her mother. It is a family heirloom, having belonged to the eldest female child of the family for many generations. Ayane practices often, anywhere she can, be it in public or at school, and she can often be found with her Ruan in her lap, having either just finished practicing or just about to begin. The Ruan being a precious family heirloom, she is loathe to let anyone touch it, but if they are trusted, she will let them hold it provided she is present to mitigate any potential damage.

Games of Chance: Ayane loves to gamble, she'll place a bet on just about any game of chance she can play. She's more partial to dice games than any other form of game, but she'll give them all a shot if she has the opportunity. Her bets can be money or favors, but she’s usually all about letting fate decide. She prefers to call her own bets - but she’ll take whatever wager is placed down usually. She does have a limit as to how far she’ll be willing to go in the name of chance.

Tea: Being the eldest daughter of the family, it is very important for Ayane to be able to show the proper courtesies to guests, so she quickly learned to love tea and the ceremonies that pertain to them. She's not one to do a full ceremony unless it's a formal meeting, but she's quick to offer guests refreshment if they enter her home.

Virtues:

Affectionate: Ayane is very affectionate to those she considers her friends. While she's not one to run across a room and tackle them as soon as they come in the door, she will make it known that she demands a hug every time she sees them - and it is up to them to deliver. She enjoys being close to her friends, and it's not surprising to see her fall asleep against someone's shoulder if she trusts them and the night is wearing on.

On my Honor: Ayane feels driven to take care of her friends and those she feels have the honor of serving under her in some fashion. If she makes someone a promise, she will uphold it, unless circumstances make such a promise impossible. She looks out for those "under" her as a mother would, taking care of their needs, but not afraid to "chastise" them if they are acting out of turn. This mindset can get her in trouble at times if others feel she is talking down to them. In her mind, she is just fulfilling her responsibilities to those around her, she doesn't even consider if they might be offended by her actions. She will chastise people for actions she herself does - as she doesn’t really quite believe in the whole “leading by example” thing.

Hardworking: Ayane works hard in anything she does. She likes to throw her whole effort into projects. As the oldest daughter of the Kotone family, she’s required to be the best at everything she does - and the only way she knows how to do that is to work super hard at anything she does. Failure is not tolerated - at all. She has to strive and achieve so that one day she too can join the family business and help the family achieve even greater success.

Flaws:

Wolf in Sheep's Clothing: Ayane tends to act demure and innocent around authority figures. Doing her best to not get in trouble and playing up any preconceived notions of her inability to do anything "bad" or mischievous. However, when said authority figure(s) leave, all bets are off, and she will do whatever she feels like doing - even if it means breaking the rules to do it. She of course, will attempt to act innocent and coy and make all efforts to shift the blame off herself and her friends should she get caught, but it doesn't always work. She also tends to play coy and innocent when it comes to romantic encounters, only to show her true intentions later once it's clear the other party is interested.

Jealous: Ayane could almost be the living embodiment of the "green-eyed monster." If she thinks that her friend is paying attention to someone else more than her, she will become insanely jealous and attempt to get their attention back focused on her. It's even worse if she's in a romantic relationship - she will become extremely jealous of that person's time and will not back down until she is the center of their focus.

Powderkeg: Ayane's temper is a sight to behold. It can sometimes take quite a bit to spark her off, but once the fuse is lit there is rarely any stopping the rage-fit that is to follow. Screaming at the top of her lungs, threatening death and dismemberment is common, as is throwing and breaking things within arm's reach. It is generally advised to leave the immediate area when Ayane loses her temper at you, unless you're willing to ride the wave of her assault to it's conclusion when she collapses into a sobbing upset mess. Even then, it's still advised to wait until she's cooled off completely before either apologizing or speaking to her further, lest another round of rage ensue.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Eyes: Narrow and aqua-blue (#66CCCC).

Hair: Long, straight (about mid back) raven black (#0F0F0F) with dark blue (#00008B) highlights.

Face: Oval face, no freckles, small ears.

Clothes: Student - Meadowview Uniform

Senshi: Sailor Seiryuu, Senshi of the East

Challenge: “From the East comes Justice!”

Attacks:

Sailor Scout Attack: Eastern Spray
Seiryuu will point to the east with her left hand as she calls her attack. Swinging her arm forward, an ethereal manifestation of the creature her constellation is named after forms as her hand moves to point at her target. The ethereal beast opens its mouth and spews an eight foot spray of salty water just strong enough to push someone back. This attack always pushes the target in an Easterly direction. The spray lasts for 20 seconds and can be used thrice a fight.

Super Sailor Scout Attack: Eastern Torrent
As before, Seiryuu points to the east with her left hand and calls her attack. Swinging it forward, the same ethereal manifestation appears as she points at her target. The ethereal beast opens its mouth and releases a much stronger blast of salty water, capable of knocking her foes off their feet and tumbling them back two feet. This attack always pushes the target in an easterly direction. The torrent lasts for 25 seconds and can be used thrice a fight.

Eternal Sailor Attack: Eastern Deluge
Seiryuu points to the east as she calls this attack, but instead of swinging her arm forward, she spins it around her head as a large ethereal manifestation of the creature her constellation is named after forms around her. The Beast’s head forms near her left hand, which she then splays forward. The beasts opens its jaws and out from its mouth come a salty deluge of water - strong enough to knock her opponents flat and push them along the ground until it runs out of steam twelve feet away from Seiryuu. People caught in the deluge (which is only ankle deep) can stop themselves from sliding if they grab onto something solid. The deluge lasts for a constant 30 seconds and can be used twice a fight.

---

History: It all started when Eun-Kyung transferred into Ayane’s english class. The girl was shy, nervous, scared. Her english wasn’t great - but that’s not what drew Ayane to her. No. Eun-Kyung had just transferred from Korea, and there was something that Ayane knew the poor girl was not going to be prepared for.

American boys.

Deciding that girls of Asian backgrounds should stick together, she quickly approached Eun and started up a conversation with her. Finding that they had languages in common, Ayane was quick to befriend Eun. She introduced her to Mikhaila, who she was currently tutoring in Japanese. The three quickly formed a bond over their ability to communicate with the language. Dawn was the last to join the group. She had volunteered as a new student liaison and was assigned to Eun. The bubbly, younger girl was quickly adopted by the older girls. Ayane saw her as useful, quick to do things when asked. Eun might not have approved but Ayane never asked Dawn for anything outlandish, but Eun was always quick to point out to her new friend if she was starting to be cruel. Mikki just enjoyed having more friends and more people to share her roughhousing nature with.

As the first semester started to drag on, the girls decided that it was time to have a weekend field trip! They all piled together and took a trip around Destiny City to show Eun the sights and help her work on her English. It would be a day that would change their lives forever.

Deciding to take a break in a nearby park as the day started to drag on. The four were approached by a cat. Not just any cat though - a talking cat.

The cat informed them, that they were magical soldiers of justice! That it was their task to fight evil and protect the city from Chaos. Eun was a bit skeptical, thinking they were being pranked. However, when the cat produced a magical pen for each girl, it was becoming more and more difficult for Eun to deny that something strange was going on.

The girls held their pens aloft and shouted their henshins!

Each in turn, became their senshi.

Ayane as Seiryuu, Senshi of the East
Dawn as Suzaku, Senshi of the South
Eun as Byakko, Senshi of the West
Mikhaila as Genbu, Senshi of the North

Together, they would seek out the evil that was infesting Destiny City!

Team Fushigi Yuugi: Sleet Tempest Snape, Torvil, fiction1119, _ p a o cx

Name: Dawn Dalumos

Nickname: Dawn or DeeDee

Age: 14

Birthday: December 28

Sign: Capricorn

Gemstone: Tanzanite

Blood Type: B

Fav. Food: Chocolate chip cookies and S’mores

Hated Food: Meat of any kind

School: Meadowview High School

Hobbies:
Skating/Rollerblading: Ever since Dawn's father taught her to rollerblade at a young age she loved gliding around on wheels or blades. When winter comes you can find her at the ice rink and when summer comes look for her at the skate park or the roller rink. The sense of constant motion, and potential motion when stopped, amuses her and gives her the idea of freedom. Like a bird taking wing, Dawn is now faster and stronger then she was on just two feet. She can race like a horse, glide like a dolphin through water, or dance upon the skates like a bird upon the air.

Animal Lover: Dawn loves animals. She would have so many pets that she could be counted as her own zoo but her parents won’t let her so she only has some fish and a bazillion stuff animals, from pandas to horses, tigers to bears. For every birthday or Christmas a new stuffed animal friend was added. But she does make up for not having any real furry pets by volunteering at the local animal shelter, pet sitting for her neighbors when they go away, and she is the cutest darn dog walker you ever did see... she can walk your cat too if you want.

Activity Books: Dawn is very active and even when she is not outside playing with friends, rollerblading, or playing with the neighbor's dog she has to be doing something entertaining like activity books. Coloring books work too but it’s the activity books that she carries around with her so she has something to do when she is bored and can’t go out to play.

Girl Scout: Camping, cookouts, badges, and more. Girl scouts was Dawn’s mother’s way of giving the active little girl an outlet… she didn't see how much she would get into it or how long it would last. Dawn is determined to get as many of the badges as possible and to ascend the ranks until she is an Ambassador, the highest rank possible. She is already thinking of ways to get the Gold Award, to add to her sash of more than a dozen colorful badges, each one symbolizing an activity or event that she had done. She particularly loved her 'Pets' badge.

Virtues:
Golden Heart - Dawn is very friendly and finds that she hates only one thing in this world... animal abusers. She has no issues going up to a stranger and starting a conversation or dragging a soon to be new friend into a game of tag. She has no real 'best friend' because they are all her 'best friend' even the kid who sits in the corner eating paste. Don't get me wrong, she knows that the world can be a dark and scary place, Dawn just believes that with a little work we can make it a bright and friendly place instead. And it all starts with a 'hello' and a smile.

Friends Forever - Once you become a friend, and it’s not that hard, Dawn will stand by you thick and thin. Did you get a failing grade on your math test? Well Dawn will help you study. Did your cat just die? Dawn will go to the funeral with you and cry just as hard as you do. Do you need a third person for your game? Dawn's your gal. Did you just steal a candy bar from the market? Dawn will scold you for it but will be standing by your side as you go back to pay for it. Are you going on an adventure? Take Dawn, she will help and keep you out of serious trouble... like a broken bone or something.

Be Prepared – Dawn took that line from Girl Scouts to heart and now is one of those ‘go to gals’ if you need a pencil, a safety pin, or a bandanna ask Dawn. Is your fly falling and won’t stay up? Dawn has a safety pin that will help with that. Did you hurt your wrist? Dawn’s bandanna is a handy wrap until you can get to the nurse. Gahhhh! You have a test and left your pencil case at home. Dawn has a dozen she is willing to share. And when she isn’t at school she keeps her trusty Swiss army knife in her pocket and her Survival bracelet, with it’s built in flint and tinder she can get a fire started safely of course, around her ankle. Her hair is normally kept at bay with the trusty bandanna… good for a bandage, sling, makeshift bag, and many other things. And she has a half dozen safety pins normally at the bottom of her pants, skirt, or backpack… good for fixing tears in clothing, pinning the bandanna together, holding up a falling fly or cuff of a pant, and many more things. Dawn likes to think that with her pins, bandanna, bracelet, and knife she could help anyone MacGyver style.

Flaws:
Painfully Blunt – Dawn might know what the meaning of benign is but that doesn’t mean she uses it. If you ask her if those pants make your butt look big she will respond truthfully… yes, yes they do. Don’t ask her if she liked dinner if you don’t want her to be painfully truthful… the broccoli was mushy and the mashed potatoes were chunky but the chicken wasn’t half bad. She won’t sugar coat it but nor will she lie about it. If your drawing is good she will say so although she might point out that the nose is way too long and kind of looks like a foot.

Anything You Can Do – Whatever you do… DO NOT tell Dawn that she can’t do something. If she is not allowed on the monkey bars she will play on them. Can’t play in the mud…. She will be covered with it. Too young to read Dante’s Inferno… you will find her slumped over sleeping when she tries to read it. Is she too young to drive the car?... she will learn even if it's to drive go carts until she is old enough to drive for real. Don’t say it’s for boys because you will find her standing in line to do it… at least once. Baseball, basketball, football, rock climbing, laser tag…. She will do it. She might not be the best at it and she might not be better than you at it but she damn well will do it one way or another.

Like A Rock – Dawn is one determined young lady. Once she has her mind set on something it is nearly impossible for her to change it, and it’s almost not worth it. When Dawn became a vegetarian her mom tried to get her to change her mind…. Forget it. After three months straight of Dawn eating her spaghetti plain, her pancakes without bacon, the vegetable sides served with the meatloaf, the bun from the hot dog, her parents gave up. Dawn is also persistent when it comes to getting her friends to do things the ‘right way’, basically her way, and if they don’t want to she will do it anyway. They are playing freeze tag but only counting to 5 rather than 10? Dawn will speak up and argue about the validity of counting to 10 versus 5. And if they still insist on counting to 5 she will count to 10 anyway or just stop playing. After all it’s no fun playing with people who don’t know how to play it right.
--------------
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Eyes: Almond shaped, wide and full of happiness, and a vivid, clear blue in color.

Hair: Golden blond and bouncy… it is like a visible representation of her personality. It is a little beyond shoulder lenght and has a slight curl to it. She normally keeps it up in a high ponytail and uses a bandana as a type of bow, if it's not up then it is down with a bandana as a headband.

Hair Color Chart: #25 or 26
Hair Style Example 1, Hair Style Example 2, and Hair Style Example 3
Hair Style Example Down with Bandana & HairStyle Example Up with Bandana 1 - except bandana not likely that long, HairStyle Example Up with Bandana 2

Face: Heart shape face with a smattering of freckles across her nose and cheekbones. She has no visible facial scars. Her ears are only pierced once and she normally wears simple gold balls although if someone ever made glass studs that could act as a magnifier she would totally wear that.

Scars/Skin Tone: She does have some minor scars on her knees, shins, and elbows from her skating even though she wore safety gear. These are very faint and difficult to see since her skin is very tan from all her playing outside. The scars will not likely be terribly visible in her art.

Clothes: Meadowview uniform. Survival bracelet and simple white bandana please as accessories.
--------------
Senshi: Sailor Suzaku, Senshi of the South

Challenge: “I will burn your evil away!”

Attacks:

Sailor Scout Attack: Southern Ember
Suzaku points to the south with her right hand as she calls her attack, swinging her arm forward, an ethereal manifestation of her constellation creature forms at her side as she points at her target. The Beast flaps its wings and emits a wall of embers about three feet high and three feet wide. The embers die out when they reach a distance of of six feet away from Suzaku and always move in a southerly direction. The attack causes no direct damage, those struck by the embers feel only the heat of the flames. The attack lasts for 20 seconds and can be used three times a fight .

Super Sailor Scout Attack:Southern Flame
Suzaku points to the south with her right hand as she calls her attack. Swinging her arm forward, an ethereal manifestation of her constellation creature appears as she points at a target. The beast flaps its wings and emits a wall of flames about six feet high and six feet wide. The flames always move in the southerly direction and dissipate eight feet from Suzaku. This attack does no direct damage, those struck by the flames feel as if that part of them is aflame. This feeling lasts the entire duration of the attack but has no lasting effects. The flames last for 25 seconds and can be used three times a fight.

Eternal Sailor Attack: Southern Immolation
Suzaku points to the south as she calls her attack and then swings her arm forward, fingers spread palm facing the target. A large ethereal manifestation of her constellation creature appears above her. The beast flaps its wings creating a wave of flames. These flames form a 6 foot long horizontal vortex with an end radius of 5 feet wide, its anchoring point is Suzaku’s hand. The flames cause no direct damage, but those caught in it feel as if they have been caught in an inferno and will be quite dizzy. The attack lasts for 30 seconds and can be used twice a fight.

[Note:] Think Miroku’s, from the anime Inuyasha, wind tunnel except out not in and composed of fire, not wind.

Team Fushigi Yuugi: Sleet Tempest Snape, Torvil, Fiction1119, _ p a o cx

Name: Mikhaila Nikolett Markov

Nickname: Mikki

Age: 17

Birthday: May 10 (199 cool

Sign: Taurus

Gemstone: Carnelian

Blood Type: AB+

Fav. Food: Potatoes! She loves basically any kind of potato dish, with the exception of those that include organ meats (because she's not so naive as to believe that such an atrocity isn't possible). Loaded mashed potatoes definitely tops the list.

Hated Food: Anything with internal organs as a main ingredient, 'cause...ew.

School: Meadowview High School

Hobbies:

      Manga -- Mikki loves her manga. She has a rather extensive collection, with 80% of her books being in English while the remaining 20% are in the original Japanese text (yes, she's learning the language). She enjoys the sort of genres that keep her on the edge of her seat--horror or anything with gore, suspense/thrillers, action/adventure, or psychological dramas are her favorite. She also picks up the occasional sports manga, but she'll drop it without any problems if it gets boring. No drama or romance genres for her, and she'll punch you in the face (that is, not affectionately) if you ever recommend a slice of life one. She also occasionally watches anime and dramas, but she is a manga purist and would always, always suggest that you read the manga first before diving into the corresponding anime. She does share her love and will constantly be suggesting titles for those who are interested (and even those who aren't), and will always have a readily available stack of recommendations for anybody who even brings up the idea of "picking up something to read." As for cons, she enjoys going but strictly to see the cool costumes and maybe pick up some new books if she finds something good. She's not really into the whole otaku culture, but she can appreciate a good cosplay when she sees one.

      Rugby -- This sport takes up maybe three-quarters of Mikki's life. She has watched it for as long as she can remember, and practiced and played it ever since she was old enough to pick up and hold onto the ball (though obviously the contact part of the sport didn't come in until she was properly old enough). She lives and breathes this stuff, and will drop almost anything she's doing to go to a scrimmage match or watch a game, whether live or on TV. It's kind of associated as a group activity for her, so if she's alone she'll drag people to a game or force them to sit down and enjoy one on TV with her. She'll even try to teach them how to play and explain what's going on so long as they stick around. She has a picture of her favorite team above where she keeps her equipment so she's always motivated to train hard and play hard whenever she picks up her stuff to go, and she also keeps one in her locker and in her bag as a constant reminder. She's gotten plenty of injuries from the sport though, and when she's down and out of it she supplements by replaying favorite games and highlight clips, even going so far as to put together her own fantasy rugby team (with her father's help and supervision). She absolutely loves the sport, and would never want to give it up for anything, ever.

      Sports TV -- Another thing that takes up more than its fair share of time in Mikki's schedule: sports TV. She primarily watches rugby, of course, but any contact sport, or even non-contact sport, works so long as it's fast paced and very high energy. Football, basketball, soccer, and lacrosse are other sports she enjoys watching on her downtime, often with her family. At some point she learned about hurling (the sport, not the action) and found that she enjoys watching that sport as well. As a sidenote, while she enjoys watching and learning a bit about other sports from this hobby, her focus as far as playing goes is still on rugby. She does her research and is familiar with how the other games are played, she just doesn't actively play them. If she can't get to a live game (and she prefers those over TV any day, of course) then she'll sit through a game in the living room with her family. Do not try to interrupt her unless it's something of absolute vital importance, otherwise you'll just never get her attention for long enough. Also, do not ever, ever record over anything even remotely related to sports or a game that she recorded on her TiVo unless you want to deal with a very upset (and violent) Mikki. If there's anything she's particularly touchy about, it's those recordings. Do. Not. Touch. Them.

      Volunteering -- Mikki loves animals, enough to dedicate a bit of her time to volunteering at a local non-kill shelter regularly. Being a student she's given a schedule to follow to accommodate school and her practice schedule, but she's also free to swing by and lend a hand whenever she has a bit of free time. Which she does when she can! She enjoys caring for the animals, spending time with them and making sure they feel loved and wanted and cared for. Of course she also has other responsibilities (like cleaning and such, sometimes even paperwork) but she enjoys working with the animals the most. She doesn't limit herself to just the shelter, though. Every so often she'll also volunteer at a soup kitchen, the local YMCA, at her parents' church for some outreach activity, and other such places that could really use the help. She likes to take people with her too, especially if they've mentioned looking for a place to volunteer at, because she does think it's a fun thing to do and a good way to spend your time. Usually she's most active as a volunteer in the summer because all she has on her plate is practices. While part-time work is an option for her, volunteering looks pretty great on applications and resumes so it seemed like the better option to fill in whatever scheduling gaps she might have.

Virtues:

      Affectionate -- Mikki loves touching people. Not like that. But she enjoys skinship very much and readily hugs, holds hands with, pokes, tickles, massages, kisses (on the cheek), punches, kicks, swats on the head/shoulder/back/etc., and even wrestles those she cares about the most and considers basically family. She does give fair warning when she starts getting comfortable with someone though, just so they know what they're getting into. Usually it presents itself as an arm over the shoulder or around the waist, lots of hugs and sometimes even hand-holding, but all from a very innocent, very sister-like standpoint. She's a very tactile person and this is one of the easier ways to get her feelings across. It's also a way for her to very subtly say, "Hurt them and I'll kill you."

      Decisive -- Once her mind is made up, her mind is made up. Mikki doesn't like to dawdle and ponder the what-if's for too long (or ever, actually), since she's of the belief that doing so will just keep her from being productive. She prefers to be a woman of action, and makes it a point to take just enough time so that she's very sure and firm about every decision that she makes. She does her research and makes sure she is informed about what it is she's deciding so that there's very little room for error on her part, and so that she won't ever have to admit that she's made a mistake. She is someone that knows what she likes and doesn't like, what her boundaries and limitations are, what she is and isn't comfortable with, and she isn't afraid to let anyone else know it either.

      Forgiving -- Grudges are not really Mikki's thing. She's incredibly friendly and surprisingly sensitive when she has problems with those in her inner circle, and because of this she's also particularly forgiving when apologies are finally being hashed out. Some of the time it's because she doesn't like not having her friends nearby and so she just lets things go with the bat of an eyelash so that she has someone to hug again. Other times though, if she feels particularly wronged, she'll actually wait for a very sincere and heartfelt apology. She won't hesitate to forgive once she gets one, and honestly would just forget about it; she typically doesn't hold anything over anybody's head. If she doesn't get one, she'll mope around and be pretty bummed about losing a friend.

      Hardworking -- Lazy is not in her vocabulary, or at least it isn't when Mikki's in perfectly good health. With the exception of when she's sick or in the hospital for another injury (when she's not usually in the mood to work), she's incredibly hardworking and disciplined. Once she gets started with something, it's basically full speed ahead. She doesn't stop and keeps working to the best of her ability until the job is complete. Half-finished anything is not an option, and half-assed anything is even worse to her than half-finished. While she doesn't actively seek out leadership roles, if she's given the task she will take the bull by the horns and stick it out to the finish. She isn't exactly a jerk about it, but she won't hesitate to be loud and in your face if she feels you're slacking.

Flaws:

      Bullheaded -- Typically, once Mikki's mind is made up it is final. It's damn near impossible to change her mind, even with a reasonable argument, even if she's absolutely in the wrong and is given concrete proof that she is. She'll deny the facts all the way to her grave! Typically. If you mean something to her in any capacity, though, she'll at least listen to your side of the story and maybe consider that she perhaps made a mistake or had a lapse in judgement. This also means that, once her mind is made up, you can't stop her from doing what she believes needs to get done. She'll charge right on forward, sometimes even foregoing any semblance of a plan and "winging it" until she gets stuck and actually has to slow down (or stop entirely) and reassess the situation.

      Ineloquent -- Mikki doesn't like having to be mindful about her choice of words, much to her mother's dismay. She's very blunt with her manner of speech, and while she can be apologetic about it in school don't expect her to be if she's comfortable with you. This doesn't mean that she drops F-bombs like nobody's business, nor does it mean that every other words out of her mouth is an expletive. It does mean, though, that she speaks very crudely and doesn't care to censor herself regardless of the situation that she's in. Not at school, not at home, not in church (so her parents don't force her to go anymore), and certainly not with her friends. She can tone it down if someone asks nicely, like a friend's parent, but for the most part she doesn't care for censorship.

      Loud -- The library is definitely not the first place you would find Mikki. Not because she hates books or studying or anything like that, but because she's never figured out quite how to modulate her voice to a much lower decibel. She is loud and proud of it and she doesn't care who hears her talking, provided they just mind their own business and let her be. As soon as someone tells her to shut up, she'll politely tell them to shove it then keep right on talking. Depending on the situation or who it is, she might even talk louder just out of spite. Because this is the case, places that require vocal modulation (besides maybe the theaters) are not her favorite places to visit. She'll try if you're a good friend or if it's for a project, but otherwise she'd rather just avoid them altogether.

      Roughhouser -- Mikki's pretty heavy-handed, and not in the figurative sense. She likes to wrestle with the best of them, even without their permission. She's extremely hands on and views play-fighting as a form of affection because to her, it really is. It just doesn't register very often that that may not be the case for other people. She'll back off whenever she's told to, or (the more effective method) when she's taken it too far (i.e., someone finally broke a bone), but she does need constant reminders that people can, and do, physically break. She never intentionally tries to hurt anyone, if that's any consolation at all to the people she's given sprains, strains, all manner of bruises and minor cuts? And she will apologize, albeit with a smile and a quiet grumble of, "Weenie."


PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Eyes: Bright, crystal green eyes that always look happy and full of life.

Hair: Honey brown, like so (but not curly). Long and richly voluminous, and usually styled up in some manner (ponytail, a loose bun, etc.) for when she's at school, and primarily to keep it out of her face.

Face: Heart-shaped, defined facial features, no distinguishing marks or features. She's very fair-skinned but (thankfully) doesn't burn too badly under the sun if she's extra careful.

Clothes: Meadowview uniform, please~



Senshi: Sailor Genbu, the Senshi of North

Challenge: "I can't wait to pound you into the ground!"

Attacks:

      Sailor Scout Attack: Northern Tremor
      Genbu points toward her target and calls her attack. As she ends her call she points to her north and a vague ethereal form of her constellation beast appears. The beast stomps the ground, causing slight tremors--enough to force someone to stop to maintain their balance but not enough to knock someone off their feet--to ripple northward in a 7-foot long, 45-degree cone. This attack lasts for 20 seconds and can be used 3 times in a battle.

      Super Sailor Scout Attack: Northern Rupture
      Genbu points toward her target and calls her attack. As she ends her call she points to her north and an ethereal form of her constellation beast appears. The beast stomps the ground, causing tremors with enough force to crack the ground and cause someone to stumble and fall to ripple northward in a 7-foot long, 45-degree cone. The cracked ground inside the cone releases a cool, healing mist that heals allies of minor injuries. This attack lasts for 25 seconds and can be used three times in a fight.

      Eternal Sailor Attack: Northern Guard
      Genbu points toward the north and calls her attack. As she ends her call she lowers her hand as a larger ethereal form of her constellation beast appears. The beast stomps the ground, summoning semi-solid earthen domes that cover up to five allies and prevent both physical and magical damage. It prevents against all physical damage for the entire duration, however it can only take one hit from an eternal level attack, two from a super level attack, and three from a basic level attack before crumbling away. Those who are protected by the shell are also bathed in a cool mist that heals them of minor injuries. This attack lasts for 30 seconds and can be used up to 2 times in a battle.

      Note: The summoned form of Genbu for all stages of her attacks is ethereal and therefore cannot be un-summoned by any means whatsoever (barring GM intervention) until its attack is over. Targets can of course move out of range (either by choice or by getting knocked over/pushed/etc.) or otherwise avoid the attack by other means.

Team Mysterious Play: DaisyMilk, Skye Starrfyre, Syrie, Ghouliboo

Name: Faye Reed

Nickname: Hulkette

Age: 17

Birthday: November 11

Sign: Scorpio

Gemstone: Amber

Blood Type: B+

Fav. Food: BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger with onion rings, Peach Cobbler, Sweet Tea

Hated Food: Brussells Sprouts. They taste like hatred soaked in butter.

School: Meadowview High School

Hobbies:
Orchestra & Marching Band - Faye is one of Nature’s percussionists. She absolutely adores playing the drums. And while not a huge fan of the more Orchestral style of drumming, she excels in Marching band and is known to put extra effort into the march routines. Drumming is her release from stress. And someday, she wouldn’t say no to playing drums in an actual rock band.

Anime - Y hallo thar. Faye likes pretty cartoon boys and girls and animals doing magical things. Due to her family’s almost nomadic lifestyle, Faye found anime at a very young age and latched onto it as one of the few constants in her life. Hamtaro and Pokemon helped her feel safe as she went through almost as many different elementary schools as there were grades. Slayers and Fooly Cooly kept her laughing through the tumultuous middle school years. Faye loves anime and sees it as a joy filled escape from life.

Freaking the Mundanes - When you can’t be sure of how long you’ll be in one place, acting out tends to happen. In Faye’s case, she’s raised it to almost an art form. She loves to say and do things that make the average person double or even triple take. When not practicing drums, watching wilting bishounen or beating someone about the noggin with a foam sword, Faye can be found wandering around town, usually dressed to cause mild alarm and cackling like an evil scientist on crystal meth. It’s all good fun.

LARP - Do you like going out to the woods or park for a weekend, dressing in funny clothes and shouting things like, ‘MAGIC MISSILE’? Faye sure does. Except she’s less ren faire style LARP and more… Calvinball-ish. Wanna run a quickie Star Wars or Game of Thrones LARP where no ******** are given about continuity or rules? Faye is so there. Wanna turn the ages old Yaoi vs Yuri feud into a fun campaign? Faye is so there. But even harder. Give the girl a foam, padded weapon and the license to make believe to her heart’s content and you will have a happy Faye.

Virtues:
Loyal - In spite of, or perhaps because of, her upbringing, Faye is almost stubbornly loyal to those she considers close. She will stand by you through thick and thin, and defend you to the death if need be. When Faye gives her heart, you have a friend for life.

Protective - Friends, family, small children and animals are a few of the things that Faye is hugely protective of. She can’t bear to see anyone being hurt and would wrap the world in a layer of cotton padding to keep it safe from all the bad s**t out there if she could. She really got Iron Man wanting to put a suit of armor around the world. With so much bad s**t out there, someone has to protect those who are unable to protect themselves.

Honest - Faye will not lie to you. Ever. However, though she prides herself on being honest, she will never be brutal or cruel. She will be as gentle as possible in telling you that your a** looks like a potato in that dress, but she will still be upfront about your tater-butt. Faye has no use for lies or temporizing. Truth gets the job done much quicker.

Flaws:
Slow to Trust - As a result of her upbringing, both in the frequent moves and her parents’ rather overly-stern methods of raising their children, Faye has a hard time trusting people. She’s so afraid that no one will believe her or that somehow, she’s going to end up emotionally hurt that she keeps a tight grip on herself and her feelings, rarely opening up to anyone until they’ve proven that they’re safe to trust.

Gotta Have Control - Though she tries to be easy-going and free spirited, the truth is that Faye has an almost pathological need for control over her life. The possibility of things changing without her having any say or control on the process is enough to send her into panic attacks. She’s tried therapy, but so far it hasn’t helped much.

Violent - Just because a girl is super protective of everything she holds dear doesn’t mean that she cannot also be filled with violent urges. Faye does her best to curb them, but can’t always keep them in check. She’s visited the principal’s office at every school she’s ever attended due to the manner in which her fists fly. And it isn’t always even her protective instincts kicking in. Sometimes Faye will lash out physically out of boredom or a simple need to just ******** up someone’s day.


PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Hair: Fauxhawk-ish, rich, auburn-y brown in color

Face: Average ears and nose, Shark Bite piercing, pierced ears (2L, 1R)

Clothes: Meadowview Uniform. When not in uniform, prefers cute, nerdy styles.


Senshi: Suzaku, Senshi of South

Challenge: Will work for Seishi!

Attacks:
Sailor Scout Attack: Vermillion Summer Breeze
Suzaku is able to summon a hot, dry breeze made of swirls of golden energy and tiny, vermillion colored flames. The breeze provides the tiniest of pushes against one enemy and the sensation of mild sunburn on any exposed skin is common. This will affect only one person per cast and she can use this attack twice per battle for a total of 25 seconds each.

Super Sailor Scout Attack: Vermillion Summer Shine
As before, Suzaku summons a hot, dry breeze. Now, however, the golden energy and tiny flames appear to hover and dance around her, giving her a faint, birdlike outline. The heat produced can now give up to two enemies within a 7’ radius the feeling of mild to moderate sunburn as it pushes them back approximately a foot from where Suzaku stands. Able to cast once per battle for 40 seconds.

Eternal Sailor Attack: Vermillion Summer Sun
The golden energy and dancing flames merge continue to give Suzaku the outline of a huge, fiery bird. At this stage, the ‘wings’ appear to beat, driving a hot, dry, burning wind into the enemy. This time, she can send up to 3 enemies stumbling backwards as the wind hits them. Again, mild-moderate sunburn sensations are common from the wind as is tumbling a** over tits. However, should one of the ‘feathers’ touch bare skin, it will cause painful blistering. Able to cast once per battle for 60 seconds.


History: Nobody expected the new girl to make friends in quite so… spectacular a manner. But Faye not only made friends the day she defended timid Nessa from a pair of Band Bullies, she taught those douchnozzles to fear drumsticks for the rest of their lives. Granted, it got Faye suspended for a week, but when she came back, she also had three lifelong friends in the form of Felix, Nerys and Nessarose. In the two years since, the girls realized they not only shared a love of Band, but that each was something of an anime fan. And while they call themselves an Anime Club, it’s really just them hanging out in a borrowed classroom with a portable DVD player.

In spite of the whispers to the contrary, the four girls formed a solid bond that very little could disturb. Nerys’ level-headedness and scary glare face kept Felix and Faye mostly in line and Nessa’s timid nature gave them someone to look after and protect. And Felix… well, it was only natural that Faye and Felix butted heads or traded blows on occasion. But no matter the argument, they always made up.
Maybe it was the uncertainty of Faye’s remaining in Destiny City that kept the bonds from breaking. After all, an Army Brat has very little say in where they end up during their time in school. But the order to move never came and Faye was able to relax and think that maybe, this time, she didn’t have to give up her friends.

And then the cat showed up as they were heading home after band practice.

At first, the only notable thing about the cat was the pretty butterfly attached to it’s collar. Well, okay. And the star upon its forehead. And after a few minutes of admiring the cat and offering pets, the foursome would have simply headed for home and forgotten about the feline visitor. That was when the cat yawned daintily and talked.

“Well, well. All four of you… I don’t think I’ve ever heard of such a thing. Really, I’m a little astounded. I was expecting at least one of you, maybe two at the most. But all four. My!”

Having said her say, the cat performed a dainty backflip as each girl watched in stunned silence, wondering if someone had spiked the cafeteria’s mystery meat with LSD that day. In that silence, the clattering of fours pens on the blacktop seemed especially loud. Looking quite proud of herself, the cat sat and carefully batted each pen towards it’s intended owner.

“You are Suzaku, senshi of South. Seiryuu, senshi of East,” the pens skittered towards Faye and Nessa. “Genbu, senshi of North and Byakko, senshi of West,” the cat hummed proudly as it sent the last two pens towards Nerys and Felix. “My name is Yumi. You are all Senshi reborn to fight against Chaos. Now, hold your pens up, say your name and then the phrase Planet Power, Make-up!

Still in stunned silence, the girls did as they were told and one by one, found themselves henshining up and marveling at themselves and each other.

Yumi opened her mouth to explain what she could to the fledgling senshi when Suzaku began to howl with laughter, the other three quickly following suit.

“Oh my god,” Suzaku gasped as she reached out to brace herself against Seiryuu’s shoulder. “You are an actual talking cat. This is real, right? And you’re telling me that we’re all named after the ********’ Four Gods? When do we get seishi? And can I opt out of any idiot love triangles?”

Staring at the still laughing girls, Yumi tilted her head, trying to understand what was so funny. Gradually, as the girls calmed down and stepped away from Hysteria Precipice, the cat began to slowly understand their mirth and odd questions.

She’d awoken goddamn anime nerds. Life would never be the same.

Team Mysterious Play: DaisyMilk, Skye Starrfyre, Syrie, Ghouliboo

Name: Felix Jocelyn Smith

Nickname: Jossy (family), Agent Smith (roller derby), She-Hulk (team)

Age: 17

Birthday: November 20, 1998

Sign: Scorpio

Gemstone: Topaz

Blood Type: AB neg

Fav. Food: Medium rare steak, supreme pizza, egg salad, spice cake

Hated Food: Steamed veggies, spinach, kale (wtf is up with that s**t?), white chocolate (it’s unholy)

School: Meadowview High School

Hobbies:
Orchestra & Marching Band: Felix was born to play a horn. She takes great pride in her chops and lung power and has no problems holding a fermata at fortissimo for as long as it takes. She is primarily a brass player, focusing heavily on the Horn, Mellophone (the bastardized child of a Horn and a Trumpet used for marching only), and Trumpet, but thanks to her friends and her interest in music she’s learned a bit about other instruments. When marching, she will be the first to bark out directions at laggards - and don’t you dare be out of step where she can see, or you will end up tied to her ankles as she drags you around snapping out commands.

Anime: Felix wasn’t introduced into Anime until she hit the seventh grade, but ever since then she’s been an avid fan; she enjoys horror and magical girl anime best, though there is something to be said for the historical-themed ones. Her current favorite is an older anime called BECK (Mongolian Chop Squad) because it’s weird, quirky, and also about musicians. Does she own swag from her favorite series? Yes. Yes she does. She’s even gone so far as to compose/transpose some of her favorite anime music into a form she can play on trumpet.

Parkour: This is a newer hobby, but one she’s getting very into. Ever since she saw someone with short brown hair doing it in Destiny City, she’s started doing it herself. With her athletic build and stubborn streak, she’s picked parkour up pretty well and is enjoying the hell out of it - even if her parents despair of what they call her “tomboy” nature.

Roller Derby: Agent Smith/Smash is a Pivot for the Demolition Dolls, able to play as a jammer when necessary, though she spends most of her time as a blocker. Felix has been playing in the Junior Derby Division since her 13th birthday, but has been playing since she dropped out of gymnastics (that her parents put her into at 5 to help work off her energy) at age 10. It’s an exceedingly violent sport, even in the junior leagues, and she revels in her ‘job’ because it gives her a good outlet for her pent-up energy and explosive nature.


Virtues:
Dedicated — This gal has no problem working on a project for hours at at time until it’s completed to her satisfaction. It’s very useful for her educational “career” as she throws herself into each subject (to varying degrees, but she always does enough to please the teachers and keep a decent grade). When she gets the ‘bit’ in her teeth on a project or problem, Felix won’t let it go and will continue to worry it like a bone until she reaches a conclusion. (This occasionally can go too far and roll into the “relentless” flaw).

Cooperative — Felix ia quite willing to work with others when she needs to, as a matter of fact she works very well with others - unless they aren’t putting an appropriate amount of effort into whatever their part of the project/etc is. Her ability to play off others can be quite helpful and the longer she’s known and worked with someone or a group of someone’s, the more this ability shines.

Resourceful — In a pinch, Felix can be very useful. She can MacGuyver her way through many problems - and a little duct tape and some paperclips can go a long way! She’s able to observe and process potential resources in her environment to find an imaginative, usually effective way to problem solve.


Flaws:
Sore Loser — Felix hates losing at anything, be it a ‘friendly’ game, a competition, grades, or even with something intangible (like with relationships). She regards each and every loss as a deeply personal affront and can find it difficult to recover from too many ‘failures’ in a row, consequently she becomes angry with herself and others for ‘causing’ these losses (real or otherwise) and can become quite violently inclined over the whole affair.

Temperamental — “Sore loser” feeds into this and is fed by this. Felix’s nature is mercurial and unstable, from moment to moment her entire world-view can change…as can her reactions to such things. When she’s in the ‘zone’ and zero’d in on something, she’s more stable but the moment Felix is distracted the whole tumult of possible emotions comes to the fore and can completely derail not only the moment, but adversely affect the remainder of her day or even week (in some cases).

Relentless — A twisting of the dedication trait, sometimes Felix can get too involved in, at, or with something/someone. At that point, she will zero-in on the “target” and pursue until she is satisfied…or until she’s burnt all bridges to/from aforementioned target. Hours, days, weeks…even months or years, some part of Felix’s brain will be focused on the ‘issue’ and a chance to correct whatever it was that started this cycle will be taken, often without regard to the repercussions of her actions.


PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Eyes: Storm blue-grey (fairly dark); roundish-almond in shape with thick lashes.

Hair: Rich Semi-Dark Brown; Slightly above shoulders in length, wavy, frames face - no bangs. Messy. Worn in a lose, v. messy bun when not loose.

Face: Oblong face with a slight cleft to the chin, pronounced cheekbones. Skin tone is sun-kissed and warm/peachy.

Clothes: Out of school uniform she wears athletic/sporty clothing that she can do parkour comfortably in; occasionally she dresses more nicely to please her parents…but mostly she’s a t-shirt and jeans kinda girl.

Senshi: Byakko, Senshi of the West

Challenge: Like the sun that sets in the West, You’re going down!

Attacks:
Sailor Scout Attack: Byakko’s Sunset Slam
Byakko’s magic conjures up a brilliant disk of sunset colored energy that then goes flying into the enemy not unlike someone swinging a book bag into the victim. Upon striking the victim it flashes brightly and leaves the impression of a tiger for a brief moment before dissipating. The attack itself can cause bruising and tenderness at the target location and may knock the opponent over.
This attack affects a single target at a time and Byakko has two uses per battle, there is no time limit as it’s an immediate effect casting.

Super Sailor Scout Attack: Byakko’s Sundown Smash
Byakko’s magic again conjures a brilliant disk of sunset colored energy that swirls about her to take the shape of a large tiger which then leaps towards the target bodily, slamming into the opponent with enough force to send them some distance backwards/off their feet while also knocking the wind out of them. Hits on the extremities/areas with thinner bones (like the ribs) can cause fractures (this is up to a player to determine if such a thing will happen) - otherwise it causes heavy bruising, possible breakage of the skin per player wishes, and makes the target area quite tender to the touch.
This attack affects a single target at a time, Byakko has two uses per battle for an immediate effect casting.

Eternal Sailor Attack: Byakko’s Sunset Slash/Smite?
Byakko raises a hand above her head and summons more sunset colored energy that forms into a shimmering 3-bladed spear that she spins and slashes down at her opponent to release a trio of crescent-shaped energy blades in their direction. The blade dissipates into the shape of a Tiger and follows the energy blades to hit the opponent from behind. This is a two-pronged attack, but one part can/could be dodged, leaving only half to hit effectively.
This attack affects a single target and can be used only once. The blade does not have a solid/true shape and is purely energy, as is the tiger.

Name: Nessarose Delaney

Nickname: Nessa

Age: 15

Birthday: March 3, 2000

Sign: Pisces

Gemstone: Aquamarine

Blood Type: AB-

Fav. Food: Sushi

Hated Food: Meatloaf

School: Meadowview High School

Hobbies:

Broadway - Thanks in part to her eccentric, whimsical mother, Nessarose was born surrounded by the music and magic of the Broadway theater. Before she was even able to walk, she was taken to the local theater to watch the performances, quickly falling in love with their stories and whimsy. She has her own season ticket seat, now, and won't miss a show for the world...even if it's her fifteenth time going.

Reading - While she may not be very outgoing, Nessa takes solace and comfort in the stories she reads. She loves to curl up in a chair or under the blankets of her bed and just read. Fantasy novels, mysteries, old and new - most anything fictional, she's there and ready to read it. The library sees her as a frequent visitor, returning each week with a handful of books she'd finished, ready to pick up a new set.

Band (flute) - Her mother, ever the fanatic, had insisted Nessa attempt to sing. When the wallflower struggled with that and her mother realized it was an attempt made in vain, she opted to put Nessa through the next best thing: orchestra. Handed a flute and sheet music, she was tutored in music since elementary school, so it only seemed logical to join Band class as her Fine Arts requirement for high school. She enjoys its soft, sweet sound - perfect for her personality, in her opinion.

Anime "Club" - Anime was just another word for cartoons to Nessa, until the fateful day when Faye decided that they would form an Anime Club. Nessa didn't know what that meant, but she would soon find out. She spends many an afternoon with the other three, watching various animes that the others pick out to watch. The young teenager doesn't really understand a good number of the plots, but there are several she enjoys the storyline to (when she can follow it properly, of course).



Virtues:

Dependable - If you need Nessa, she's there for you. Like the postal service's motto, she will be there for you regardless of whatever perilous weather is involved. There are only a few people she would regard as friends and she plans on keeping them that way. A friend deserves everything she has to offer (and then some), so Nessa refuses to let them down, doing whatever she can in her power to make whatever you need happen.

Determined - She will see through anything she's put her mind to. Whether it's schoolwork, learning a new musical piece or even something as menial as finishing a book, Nessa will do it. Obstacles in her way are merely challenges waiting to be faced, like dragons waiting to be slain so the princess can be saved.

Kind-hearted - Nessarose is one of the kindest students you'll ever meet. She cares about your feelings, she cares about your feeling's feelings, she cares. A lot. She will go out of her way to make sure you're doing okay - are, you're feeling down? Would you like the cupcake she'd packed for lunch? Maybe she can do your homework for you? Everyone has feelings and little Nessa wants to make sure that they're never hurt.



Flaws:

Quiet - Nessa is quiet. Nessa is painfully quiet. Inherently timid in nature, the young teenager will rarely raise her hand in class, regardless if she knows the answer or not. When called on to give a presentation, her voice strains to be audible and her cheeks will always be flushed. She does not like attention, preferring to blend in with the background if and when possible. Only around very close companions or family will she feel free to speak - but most of the time, even then, she'll prefer to sit back and listen.

Daydreamer - Are there really dragons in need of slaying? What about princesses? She knows princesses exist - are any of them in any danger? In need of a prince? Nessa asks many far-fetched questions like these, daily. In her own mind, of course (why in the world would she ask them out loud? To other people?). It would not be surprising to call on her in class, only to have her stammer, not having heard the question at all. Instead, she spends her time staring out the window and contemplating how the current book she's reading will end or answers to life's mysterious mysteries.

Spineless - While Nessa will certainly help her friends out in any way possible, helping herself is another matter entirely. Being mousy and shy, she's the perfect target for bullies and terrible teachers. She has no desire to defend herself, choosing instead to lower her head and take whatever abuse comes her way. Bravery - thy name is not Nessarose. She'll take clinging to the coattails of friends over trying to lead the way any day.



PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Eyes: Amethyst

Hair: White hair with teal/green bangs and front hair streaks (coloring example here). Style wise, long with a slight curl. Colorist freedom with style.

Face: Oval shaped, narrow chin.

Clothes: Meadowview uniform.

Senshi: Seiryuu, Senshi of East

Challenge: The Eastern winds will seal your fate.


Attacks:

Sailor Scout Attack: Eastern Breeze
Seiryuu cups her hands together and blows a gentle breeze towards her opponent. A visible light green "wind" with leaves (see for example: [x]) appears and, if upon coming in contact with the opponent, swirls around them for a brief moment before fading. This casts a dizzying effect on the individual, potentially causing them to misdirect their own attack's aim. Powerful individuals are able to overcome the dizzying trance or reduce the direction of its effect.
This can be used once during battle. Effect lasts for roughly twenty seconds.

Super Sailor Scout Attack: Eastern Gust
Eastern Gust is a stronger version of Eastern Breeze. The spell is more powerful, the wind taking form of a small Chinese dragon that circles the opponent before fading. Eastern Gust has more potential to force the opponent to become temporarily dizzy. More powerful adversaries are still able to overcome the dizzying trance or reduce the duration of the effect.
This can be used once during battle. Effect lasts for roughly twenty to thirty seconds.

Eternal Sailor Attack: Eastern Blast
Seiryuu holds her hands out and once again blows, this time with harder force. The wind effect now takes form of the outline of a large Chinese dragon, which rushes and forces the wind to burst against the opponent, sending them backwards several yards with the high potential of temporary confusion. Strong opponents are still able to overcome the confusion or reduce duration of the effect, but those faced directly with the Eastern Blast will be blown backwards, unless weighted down.
This can be used once during battle. Confusion effect lasts for roughly thirty seconds.

Team Mysterious Play: DaisyMilk, Skye Starrfyre, Syrie, Ghouliboo

Name: Nerys McCoy

Nickname: Rys (reese)

Age: 16

Birthday: October 24

Sign: Libra-Scorpio Cusp (Scorpio)

Gemstone: Golden Topaz

Blood Type: A

Fav. Food: Cobb salad w/ ranch dressing & a slice of garlic toast.

Hated Food: Green beans. They’re gross. Why would you eat them?

School: Meadowview High School

Hobbies:

Marching Band - Nerys was suckered into joining the marching band when the music teacher realized that she could read sheet music in both treble and bass. It lead to her love/hate relationship with the low brass section, where she now knows how to play both baritone and trombone. Someone has to keep the boys in her section in line...

Anime Club - More of a fan of manga than anime in most cases (Bleach is an exception she'll definitely make), Nerys agreed to be one of the founding members of the club because it would look good on college applications and because it got her out of 6th period study hall. It also meant that she got to spend time with her friends and be herself without worrying that someone might call her a nerd for the Starfleet Academy decal on her laptop case.

People Watching - Everyone in Destiny City has a story and one of Nerys' favorite things to do is watch them go about their daily routine while trying to figure out what that story is. Sometimes she'll bring a notebook along with her and jot things down, other days she'll drag Nessa along with her so they can ponder 'what ifs' and 'I wonders' together.

Virtues:

The Show Must Go On - Perseverance - Nerys isn't a quitter. 'Quit' isn't in her vocabulary. Something isn't going right? That's fine, take a step back, figure out where it went to crap and keep going. This routine isn't going to learn itself. That music isn't going to memorize itself. Just keep swimming.

Rules Are Rules - Discipline - Rys likes things by the book. She likes knowing that there is a time and place for everything. She has schedules to stick to, alright? Only by following the rules do we find out what we are truly capable of, right?

+5 to Charm - Charismatic - If Nerys wasn't so interested in science she could totally be a motivational speaker. Sure, she'll stuff rules and regulations down your throat, but she has a way of making it seem like they're a good thing. She knows how to talk to people and sometimes that's what matters.

Flaws:

I've Got This - Independent - Nerys doesn't need your help. Alright, maybe she does, but she doesn't want it. Team work isn't something that she settles in easily and, when assigned to group projects, she usually insists on trying to do everything herself anyways. While it's gotten easier to accept assistance from her three besties (Nessa, especially) it's still something she loathes to admit and sometimes it makes her seem like a real a-hole.

Well Duh - Sarcastic - The flip-side to the +5 charisma is that sometimes you just have to put a smile on even when you don't want to and that can often lead to being a sarcastic smart-alec. Silver tongues can cut just as well as they can shine and sometimes (more often than not) Nerys isn't all that good at toning it down when people are just being stupid.

All the Way to the Top - Ambitious - If Rys has something in her sights it's probably for the best to not get between her and it. She will do whatever it takes to make sure that she winds up with the best grades, enrolled in the best school, doing all of the best things after highschool, even if it means stepping on toes and she doesn't always tread carefully about it. The one exception seems to be her small group of friends; the people she has learned to trust and count on to help her realize her dreams as they support one another.


PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Eyes: sky blue; round and bright. Wears a pair of cat eye frames when she doesn't wake up in time to put her contacts in

Hair: pixie cut; messy (would be semi-curly/wavy if hair was longer) & black

Face: pleasant blend of oval and heart shaped; pointy chin & fluffy cheeks

Clothes: Meadowview Outfit! Or nerdy sci-fi tees when she’s not in school.


Senshi: Genbu - Senshi of the North

Challenge: The North remembers, now you'll never forget!

Attacks:

Sailor Scout Attack: Warrior's Grasp.

A black mist swirls fiercely around Sailor Genbu until she commands it away from her, encircling one of her enemies and rendering them immobile for one round. At first level a higher leveled character can resist this effect to move at half speed; slowed, but not frozen.

May be cast twice per battle. Works best in combo with an aggressive teammate's attack.

Super Sailor Scout Attack: Warrior's Icy Grasp.

A black mist swirls fiercely around Sailor Genbu until she commands it away from her, encircling one of her enemies and rendering them immobile for one round, this time applying the icy bite of wintry cold. As before, a higher leveled character can resist the immobility to move at half speed; slowed, but not frozen in place. The cold effect is still in place..

May be cast twice per battle. Works best in combo with an aggressive teammate's attack.

Eternal Sailor Attack: Warrior's Frigid Crash.

This time the black mist rises behind Sailor Genbu as she raises her arms as though commanding the raging power of the sea itself. Upon release the mist rages forward, bowling over enemies as though they've been crashed into by a powerful wave. 1st level enemies are knocked down immediately and lie prone for one round. They may begin to move at the start of their second round at 1/2 speed. 2nd and 3rd level enemies must roll 1d4; 1-3 is knocked down and follows same rules as 1st level, 4 is sturdy enough to remain standing.

All enemies touched by the mist, regardless of whether or not they were knocked down, now feel a bone-chilling, shiver-inducing dampness seeping through their uniforms/fukus as though they've been hit by an arctic wave.


Area: enemies must be within 20ft of one another to all be hit by the 'wave'. Friendly fire possible. May only be used once per battle.

Name: Kata Varvrik

Nickname:

Age: 14

Birthday: May 4th, 2001

Sign: Taurus

Gemstone: Rose Quartz

Blood Type: AB-

Fav. Food: Lemon Cookies

Hated Food: Toffee

School: Meadowview

Hobbies:

    Video Games
      Kata loves video games, unlike her brother though she doesn’t play those stupid MMO’s. Kata prefers games like Sugar Rush Racers, Mario, Sonic, and other such games. She often challenges her friends or younger sister to the games.


    My Little Pony
      Kata loves everything about my little pony. She collects them, trades them, and well she lives, breaths, eats, and sleeps my little pony. Her and her sister’s room is decorated in my little pony and all the pink fru-fru possible. A lot of her friends enjoy collecting the trading cards and the blind bag ponies.


    Painting Figures
      Since Kata started collecting my little ponies and seeing on the internet that people repaint them, she’s taken up the hobby of trying to repaint them herself as well as other figures. Kata finds that this sort of creative outlet is pretty nifty because she not only can make pretty ponies but she’s started going into repainting Barbie dolls and begging for those anime dolls that you build and paint.


    Recycling
      This might be a bit of a weird hobby but because of the large size of her family Kata has picked up recycling as a hobby. Not only in the sense of actually recycling items to keep them out of the landfills but in the sense of trying to make art out of them. She’ll take old books with pictures in them that are starting to fall apart and make buttons and pins out of the pictures that are good enough to use. The rest of the pages she’ll take and make papier-mâché things out of them. After she’s finished she’ll often try to sale these items for a small amount of money.


Virtues:

    Quick Learner
      Kata often learns things quicker than others; she can pick up on how to do something after being showed once and often that comes in handy. She’s learned how to cook already so that she can help her family out. She also often picks up on how to do certain things when she sees other people do them. When this happens she can often offer to help her friends and family out when they’re in over their heads.


    Resourceful
      Kata is always trying to find ways she can help out her family and herself. So she’s become something of a resourceful nut, not only does she clip coupons and keep her eye out for sales. She also recycles everything she can manage. Since she’s not old enough to get a job of her own she often looks for things she can either take to a recycling place, like aluminum cans; or she looks for things she can take and make something new. Kata tries to never let anything go to the trash dump if she can help it, which helps not only her but the city because she tries to keep her foot print as green as possible.


Flaws:

    Overbearing:
      Kata can be at times, overbearing; with her younger sister and her friends. She believes she’s’ protecting them or helping them, but instead she sometimes becomes a plain pain in the butt. Kata’s tendency to be overbearing often causes her friends to avoid asking her for help unless there’s no other choice, and sometimes causes Zoya to avoid her as well. This often hinders her because Kata ends up missing out on things that she could’ve learned from.


    Miss Attitude
      Kata has always had a slight bit of an attitude, maybe because she’s not the youngest and not the oldest. So she feels slighted in some way especially after Zoya came along. Kata’s constantly giving adults and her older siblings lip and attitude about having to do things and rolling her eyes at them. It’s grown worse as she’s gotten older too. This often times leads to Kata getting put in a ‘time out’ or a swat with a hickory switch. There have also been times this attitude has had Kata miss out on things in life because some people just don’t want her around them. It also has on occasion put potential friends at the wary of her and causes them to shy away from being her friend.


PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

    Eyes: Mint Cream [▇▇▇]

    Hair: Magenta [▇▇▇] like Feliks in this hairstyle?

    Face: She has some freckles - her complexion is Olive - like one of these maybe?

    Clothes: Maud pie shirt in a dark chocolate (see we love fine) long almost short dress length (not quite to knees). Stonewashed Jean Shorty Shorts. Galaxy leggings that are purple and pink (matches the rocks near Maud), with chocolate converse boots, that have pink (again matches rocks near maud) accents and laces. Holding a MLP Skate board with matching elbow/knee pads and helmet.


Senshi: Byakko

Byakko being West (The Senshi of West)

Challenge:
    Feel the Western Fall Winds.
    It's the Eye of the Tiger
    Hear the Roar of the West Winds


Attacks:
    Sailor Scout Attack: Tiger Stalks from the West
      Byakko summons her attack and a soft crisp wind starts to blow from the west, billowing up small sized leaves around her. Slowly the wind starts to kick up and Byakko throws her arms forward hands held out like claws and the wind whips in the direction towards her target causing the leaves to hit them. The leaves can leave up to really shallow cuts, much like paper cuts.

      For this attack Byakko can only hit one person. The attack lasts about 20 seconds and causes light damage. She can use it twice per battle.


    Super Sailor Scout Attack:Tiger Strikes from the West
      Byakko summons her attack and a soft crisp wind starts to blow from the west, billowing medium sized leaves around her. Slowly the wind starts to kick up and Byakko throws her arms forward hands held out like claws and the wind whips in the direction towards her target(s) causing the leaves to hit them. The leaves are larger and leave more damage causing moderate damages from scrapes to cuts, possibly bruising depending on how the leaves hit.

      For this attack Byakko can hit anyone in about a five foot range. The attack lasts about 20 seconds and causes medium damage. She can use it twice per battle. This attack is easy to see and could be dodged if the target(s) are quick enough.


    Eternal Sailor Attack: Tiger Guards from the west
      Byakko summons her attack which causes winds to begin to blow around her as she sweeps her arm from west to east. This time however, the attack creates a windy wall that can protect her and up to three others. The wall can be easily seen and felt because as it whips around it'll kick leaves up.

      The wind can cause a knock back effect for those that venture into the gust. Depending on the level difference is how harsh the knock back is. Those equal to her just get pushed back or maybe can make it through the wall if they're willing to fight against the winds, anyone lower level can be pushed back or blown off their feet. This attack lasts about 25 seconds. If anyone's able to reach her the attack can be dispelled by striking at Byakko and breaking her concentration.




Team History

    The quartet started out as childhood friends, drawn together by both Devlyn and Harley. Kata became the little sister of the group, after her twin sisters had befriended Devlyn and Harley in school, Harley though was the one to bring Kata closer to the group because of her curious nature. Helen though tended to be the withdrawn turtle of the group who was more interested in herself than in the group, though it didn't always use to be that way. She use to be as close as the others and all four where thick as thieves. However, as the group grew older Helen tried to draw herself out of the group and hide further into her own vices; and while the group of friends may not always be able to be as close knit as they once were that doesn't mean; Devlyn and Harley will ever let Helen drag herself completely away. They end up dragging everyone close again for at least one night a week!

    Then, one night, the girls awakened together! The four of them were out for ice cream and a round of mini golf - coordinated by Devlyn and Harley of course - and they were running late to get back home! Since traveling in groups is safer and faster the girls chose to walk home together when suddenly two cats - Snowball and Nico - streaked past them followed by a small gaggle of youma! The two cats paused in their panicked running and looked back towards the group of girls, suddenly realizing that they've found the help they were looking for! Sharing the task they awaken the four senshi and the girls and cats managed to beat the monsters that had been chasing them!

    However, their initial rush of adrenaline wore off, and the reality of what they had become and the changes their lives had taken began to sink in. Not only had they become senshi and opened themselves up to a new world of dangers and opportunities. Almost immediately, Helen withdrew from the group and retreated back into her home, refusing to answer any calls that followed.

    Not only would the group have to learn to overcome their own obstacles and unite as one, but they would in time realize their purpose was greater than simply the war: they were to become guardians of their realms with the seasons on their side; and more importantly, they were made aware of a missing aspect of their team, a fifth, a 'center', a void, identity unknown - who may or may not exist. With their realms; the north, south, east and west; they became slowly more interested in seeking out to fill the void when they learned of a Princess, Chronos Senshi of the Seasons; and with interested they pursued her in hopes of filling the void. Surely someone that was the Princess of Seasons needed handmaidens that were to protect the Realms and the seasons that correspond right?

Kyireko had to go out of town until after the contest ends. We were trying to finish before she had to leave however, we did not manage this. So I have her permission to post for her, I also cleared it with Kyu while Kyire was still here so we knew if it was okay to do this . . . .

Kyrieko
Team Name: Elements of Harmony
Team Players:
Kyrieko : Seiryuu Senshi of the East - Harley Jennings
[Mistress Morbid] : Suzaku Senshi of the South - Devlyn D Cain
frayedflower : Genbu Senshi of the North - Helen Hall
LP : Byakko Senshi of the West - Kata Varvrik

Name: Harley Jennings

Nickname: n/a

Age: 16

Birthday: April 19th

Sign: Aries

Gemstone: Blue Diamond

Blood Type: A-

Fav. Food: Mexican food of any kind.

Hated Food: Asparagus. It tastes funny and makes your pee smell. So gross!

School: Meadowview High School

Hobbies:

"Charm"-ing Collection - Ever since she was little, her grandmother always brought her a charm of some sort from wherever she'd traveled recently. Always something that seemed to really represent the location she was visiting. When she was a bit older, her grandmother told her the charms she bought were to ward off evil and protect her. She thought it was super sweet of her grandmother and ever since, she's been buying charms wherever she visits as well! She's got a small hoard of them that a majority of which are hidden in a box under her bed. The rest can be found on bracelets, necklaces, earrings, even hair clips that she wears!

Gardening - A hobby she finds relaxing, Harley loves to plant flowers and attempt to grow lemon, orange, and apple trees. Not that they ever make it to adult-tree-hood. But she tries! Her flowers do much better, and she finds she truly enjoys the gratifying feeling of knowing she helped the little sapling grow. She keeps a little flower garden out front that her father doesn't mind and encourages.

A Novel a Day Keeps Sleep Away - Due to being an insomniac, Harley has a knack for reading at night when she can't sleep. She'll find herself zoning out as she gets into the book, almost like sleeping, but the smallest sound will snap her out of it. She's learned how to be a swifter reader and can go through a whole novel in one sitting. She does try not to finish them so fast, but sometimes it's just such a good book she can't help it!

Virtues:

Curiosity Killed the Blonde - She has a disease. It's called 'curiosity'. And it gets the better of her nine out of ten times. Harley is quite infamous for sticking her nose in places it certainly doesn't belong. Like hearing whispers in the girls locker room and perching precariously against a locker to hear what is being said. Or hearing about some rumor from a 'reliable' source (basically anyone). Harley will happily go out to determine if the rumor is true. She has no doubt that one of these days, that curiosity is going to get her into some big trouble. So far, however, she's managed to stay out of it.

Feisty Pants - Harley also tends to be a bit on the feisty side with most of her responses being sassy or smartass-y. She's not actually a mean individual, just has a mouth that runs faster than her brain sometimes. Everything she says is in good nature, but it does get taken the wrong way on occasion. In which case, Harley will apologize right away and try her best to assure you she didn't really mean it. Sort of a knee-jerk reaction, like a reflex.

Adaptive - Though it may not be one of her most notable traits, Harley is a very adaptive person. She can handle change with ease and just tends to go with the flow. This can be anything from someone having mood swings to moving to a new house. She'll handle it all with a good humor and a smile, probably cracking some sassy jokes while she's at it!

Flaws:

Completely Missing the Point - There are quite a few occasions where someone is explaining or expanding on a something - could be an object, topic, variation in cooking directions - that sort of just blows by Harley. It's not that she's not paying attention. She just tends to not get what you're actually telling her and will nine out of ten times repeat whatever she did before after you've tried explaining that was not the correct or best option.

No Filter - A particular trait that has gotten her into trouble and many occasions, Harley doesn't have a filter on what she says. She tends to speak without thinking, only realizing she may have done so after it's too late. There is no ill intent in her actions, she just has a mouth that moves faster than her brain can keep up with.

Insomniac - Most likely due to her active mind, Harley has been deemed an insomniac. She has a difficult time relaxing and sleeping, usually finding something to occupy her time until either she just passes out or manages to fall into a light sleep. Because of this, it's not uncommon for her to take some sort of sleeping medication when she absolutely needs to get some sleep. Otherwise, she'll have spouts where she'll just run herself rugged with lack of sleep until her body literally can't take any more.


PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Eyes: Bright, fierce teal eyes that always seem to hold a hint of mischief within them! [▆▆▆▆]

Hair: Long and flowing, usually hanging down to about her butt, with a portion of it pulled back and tied up. [▆▆▆▆] Silver in color.
[X], [X], [X]

Face: Nicely round with a few scars on her right cheek (also has some on her right shoulder) and a smirk on her lips!

Clothes: Meadowview HS uniform~


Senshi: Sailor Seiryuu, Senshi of the East

Challenge: "Feel the wrath of the East."

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: Eastern Dragon Petal
Seiryuu calls out her attack and throws her arms forward. A tiny breeze blows in from the East carrying azure flower petals that are directed towards her intended target. The petals are sharp enough to leave paper thin cuts on her opponent. This attack can hit a single target, lasting about 15 seconds and can only be used twice in battle.

Super Sailor Scout Attack: Eastern Dragon Blossom
Seiryuu calls out her attack and a small gust of wind blows in from the East carrying azure flower petals that swirl around her. She then thrusts her arms froward and directs her attack towards her intended target(s). The petals are sharp enough to leave shallow to moderate cuts on her opponent. This attack can hit any target in a five foot range, lasting about 20 seconds and can only be used twice in battle.

Her attack is easily avoided by being outside her range or shielding oneself with a thicker object (ie: a book, trashcan lid, bookbag, etc).

Eternal Sailor Attack: Dragon of the East
Seiryuu calls out her attack and a forceful gust of wind blows in from the East carrying azure flower petals that swirl together and form a roaring twister shaped much like an eastern dragon. She thrusts her arms out forward directing it towards her intended target(s). The petals are sharp enough to leave moderate cuts and may cause bruising from being hit. This attack will target any opponents in a seven foot radius around Seiryuu or her allies, lasting about 25 seconds and may only be used once in battle.

Her attack is avoidable through dodging as the twister will follow a zig-zag path as well as breaking Seiryuu's concentration as she directs it at her intended targets.

Team Players:
Kyrieko : Seiryuu Senshi of the East - Harley Jennings
[Mistress Morbid] : Suzaku Senshi of the South - Devlyn D Cain
frayedflower : Genbu Senshi of the North - Helen Hall
LP : Byakko Senshi of the West - Kata Varvrik

Name: Devlyn D Cain

Nickname: Dev, Devy, Sometimes jokingly called Double D. (Get it. Boobs)

Age: 18

Birthday: March 10th

Sign: Pisces

Gemstone: Ruby

Blood Type: O

Fav. Food: Chocolate, Strawberries, Cherries, Pineapple, Mangos, Peaches, Raspberries. ALSO ROCK CANDY.

Hated Food: Mint. And bananas. Gross.

School: Meadowview High School

Hobbies:

Upcycling: Dev has a particularly bad habit of hiding in thrift shops and fabric stores. She will comb through multiple places in a day picking out clothes and patterns. Devy will then spend hour at home putting these items together and given them new life. Adding a little touch here, replacing one detail for another. That sorta thing you know? However, it's what she does with her finished products that's the kicker. Once she's collected a decent sized pile, Devlyn then turns the clothes over to donation drives, homeless shelters and will even occasionally give her creations as gifts. Very rarely will she keep something she makes for herself, though she does have a few pieces she couldn't bear to part with.

Music: This is her brothers fault. ALL her brothers fault. Because her brother's usually playing music with whatever he's doing at home (for those rare times that he is home.), Devlyn has learned to like a ridiculous amount of music. Her favorite is usually that infectious pop stuff like Kesha, Katy Perry or Avril Lavigne, but she will listen to anything at least once. Unlike her brother, Devy has a few genres, artists, and songs she doesn't like, but she tries to give them a chance. If the radio is on, or someone's got something playing, you can bet Devlyn's either singing along out loud or in her head. Sometimes, she'll tap out the beat with her hands, though it doesn't usually last long.

Boards, Blades and Wheels, Oh my: Devlyn has a mighty mighty love of sports that involve any of the aforementioned. Growing up, Devy's feet were practically glued to roller blades or a skateboard. Soon that grew into surfboarding and snowboarding. While she may not be the best at these actives, she enjoys them immensely and will try to help teach anyone interested in how to do it too. Devlyn also harbors a secret want to try Ice Skating. She's also curious about things like kayaks, skimboards and paddle boards but hasn't really had the chance to try those.

Virtues:

Good for Cuddles: Had a long day? People just being absolutely horrendous? Drama with the family left you a crying mess and you need hugs and cuddles? Well, Devlyn's your girl for that. She is all for hanging out and trying to make you feel better in whatever way possible. You know how a cat or dog will pick up on how you're feeling and come to love on you with their fuzzy faces or tails and what not? Well Devy's the same way. While she might not be as space invading as a cat or a dog (though, depending on who you are, that logic is out the window), she's been known to drop her head on your shoulder or hold your hand till things begin to feel better.

Passionate: Devy puts her best foot forward with everything, even if she doesn't want to do something. She's passionate about things. It's not that she's passionate about a few things in general... it's more of she tries to give 110% to whatever she does, even IF she's horrible at the task at hand (I'm looking at you math.). There ARE things she does not like to do with a passion, but she won't let that effect how she works on something.

Flaws:

Over Attached: Devy kinda wears her heart on her shelve. And because of this it's easy for her to get hurt or taken advantage of if a friend is in trouble. If someone gets mad at her, she crashes pretty damn hard and it takes a bit for her to pick herself back up, even if she knows they didn't exactly mean it at the time. Devy can sometimes be a little over emotional during these stints and might go as far to avoid people if she think's they are upset with her or don't want to talk. This has it's own draw backs as it could further piss people off.

Bitchy: Like her at times hot headed brother, Devlyn can be a bit of a b***h when she's pissy. You will definitely know when she's mad at you. Unlike her brother though she doesn't usually end up singing to shut people up. She says (sometimes screams) her part and then takes off. You're likely to get a few cold shoulders and clipped answers, and possibly a round or two of her ignoring you completely. But, given some time and patience, all will eventually be forgiven.


PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Eyes: Devlyn has central heterochromia. Her eyes are blue, but around the iris the eye is a greenish color. Reference. Juuuust like her bro

Hair: Long and kind of shaggy. Her hair color is a black brown but at the ends it's dyed to a platinum blonde.

Face:

Clothes: Reference

Senshi: Suzaku (The Senshi of South)

Challenge: I'm gonna change you like a remix, Then I'll raise you like a phoenix~

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: Southern Wind
Saying the name of her attack, Suzaku points at an enemy. The spectral image of a firebird comes from behind them and starts spinning around them. This causes the person to be enveloped in a cylinder of fire. The fire is obviously not real, but if they were to try and run through it, it would still hurt. Inside the cylinder, the person is blasted with hot, dry air. This attack can be used on one to two people at a clip. Suzaku can use this attack three times, though the magic only lasts for twenty-five seconds.

Super Sailor Scout Attack: Southern Wind V2.
A stronger variant of the attack above. However this time she can use it on two to three people at a clip, while her usage goes down to two. The time the magic lasts moves up slightly to thirty-five seconds.


Eternal Sailor Attack: Southern Nova
Once again saying the name of her attack, the firebird comes from behind. However, this time the attack is different. What happens this time, is the fire bird makes a fire dome that surrounds her enemies. In side, there is the same blustery, heated, dry wind as before. Once again, while it's not acutally fire, it WILL hurt if they touch it. Agents can't teleport in or out, Magic and weapons can not break the wall on EITHER side. It is essentially a cut off till the time runs out and the flames go down. This attack can be used only once! So it is a last ditch effort on Suzaku's part. This attack can only last for 45 seconds and it effects enemies with in an eight foot radius.

**Note, all attacks are a mix off offensive and defensive.

Name: Helen Hall

Nickname: None; her user ID for gaming, however, is always 'hellhall'

Age: 18

Birthday: November 5th (remember, remember, the fifth of November, the gunpowder treason and plot...)

Sign: Scorpio

Gemstone: Topaz

Blood Type: O

Fav. Food: Hummus

Hated Food: Fast food

School: Meadoview High School

Hobbies:

Gaming - Helen is a professional gamer, and she is extremely devoted to what she'd love to make a lasting career of. Fighting games are her area of expertise, although she's been known to enjoy a few racing games here and there. She has a natural talent for memorizing the combinations and various strategies, but she still spends hours of every given day sitting in front of a screen, controller in hand, refining her skills - which has understandably had a huge impact on her grades at school. Her father's less than thrilled about this, although he's trying his hardest to both be supportive and nudge her into taking her studies more seriously. Helen, though, fully believes that this is her calling and has no real interest in anything else.

Exercise - Anything else, that is, besides keeping herself in top shape. Years back, after her mother left and Helen began to fully invest herself in the world of gaming, a curvy girl to begin with, she found herself struggling and put on a decent amount of weight. As she got involved with tournaments and began to attract some attention, though, Helen quickly realized a lot of that attention was not positive. For her image alone, the completely wrong reasons, Helen began dedicating as much time as she could into exercising and eating right. (This isn't to say her means of putting off the weight are unhealthy - but her logic and increasing fascination with everyone else's opinion are, very much so.)

Research - Although Helen hardly tries at school, it frustrates the ever living hell out of her teachers because she's clearly more than capable - her test scores reflect a broad, untapped intellect - but she simply doesn't care. When it comes to video game trivia, voice actors, movies, anything that she finds relevant and interesting, she will happily sit there for hours on end and read page after page about it and anything relating to it. And trust her, she'll be more than happy to tell you all about it (re: look how much more I know than you) when the chance arises.

Virtues: -

Focused - When Helen devotes herself to a task, no matter how big or small, her world narrows. She will forgo almost anything to accomplish her goal, and short of death, nothing will deter her from finishing what she has set out to do. This has the unfortunate drawback of tuning out anything that isn't relevant to the task at hand, including people, and a lot of her personal relationships have suffered as a result.

Adaptive - In gaming and in life, Helen is used to having to think on the fly to garner the results she wants - and the only result she will settle for is success. She is extremely good at changing tactics in the blink of an eye, or even coming up with a new approach all together based on the patterns she has witnessed.

Calm - Or she seems to be at a glance. Helen is by no means an ice queen and does show and feel emotion, but simply rarely allows her own feelings to get the better of her under duress. She has a habit of doing this by either mentally removing herself from the equation (pretending as though she were a third party looking in instead of one of those impacted), or by retreating into her own mind until she can come up with a solution. Maybe not the best means of accomplishing this, but in any case Helen can be relied on to keep a cool head in tense situations and produce results.

Flaws:

Selfish - In the end, Helen does all she does for herself, and not for anyone else's sake - and she's rather shameless about it. It's not that she's incapable of caring for other people, but in Helen's mind, she regards her own feelings and goals as more important than anyone else's. It's not that she doesn't care about hurting anyone's feelings as much as she thinks the ends justify the means, and the ideal end is the one where she gets her way.

"Talk to me woman!!" - Outside of her circle of friends that stick to her more like eternal barbs in her side rather than a soothing embrace, Helen simply doesn't often vocalize her train of thought, much less how she's feeling. She internalizes a lot of things, and it's not so much that she is bad at communication as it is an extension of her own innate selfishness. The end results are one thing, but she sees nothing that other people could offer her in terms of strategizing or support that she couldn't do better alone.

Hard-Headed - Helen's best ideas come from herself. Helen knows best what is good for Helen. Helen is adaptive when it comes to problem solving, yes, but when it comes to accepting help or advice from anyone else, she becomes frustrated, obstinate, and stubborn, to the point where she will do the polar opposite of what they say against all logic just to try and prove a point.


PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Eyes: Perfectly fine the way they are now, maybe just a touch more green and a little more vivid?

Hair: This, with the colors to match her eyes.

Face: Shape-wise, again, very much similiar to what has been provided already - but the girl's a freckle train. She also has her ears pierced, two in each ear, and as a civ she wears thick-rimmed glasses since she's just barely near-sighted enough for it to matter.

Clothes: The Meadowview Uniform of course!
Senshi: Sailor Genbu, Senshi of the North

Challenge: "Turtle Power."

Attacks:

Sailor Scout Attack: Breath of the Dark Warrior
After calling on the attack by name, Genbu claps her hands and then extends them outwards; a faint rumble echoes unseen from the North, and a chill rushes in from that direction, like the first harsh nips of winter trailing at fall's heels. After the initial rush, the chill settles around Genbu with about a five foot radius. This lingers for roughly 30 seconds, with opponents feeling a sense of lethargic melancholy and a reduced desire to fight. How much this impacts them depends on who stumbles into her field. Use: three times per battle.

Super Sailor Scout Attack: Howl of the North
After calling on the attack by name, Genbu claps her hands and then extends them outwards; a more pronounced groan echoes unseen from the North, and a chill rushes in from that direction, sharp like the middle of a winter day. After the initial rush, the chill settles around Genbu with about an eight foot radius. This lingers for roughly 30 seconds, with opponents feeling a stronger sense of lethargic melancholy and a drastically reduced desire to fight, as well as potential irritability with allies. How much this impacts them depends on who stumbles into her field. Use: twice per battle.

Eternal Sailor Attack: Genbu's Bitter Shadow
Genbu claps her hand and falls to her knees, her arms wrapping around herself. A gust of intense wind, biting and frigid (think blizzard minus the snowfall), blows in from the North with a clap of thunder and brings a cluster of thick, dark clouds with it. If anyone were to take the time to look at the clouds' silhouette on the ground, they would spy a turtle with a snake coiled around it. This lasts for forty-five seconds; however, as with her basic and super attacks, along with these clouds rushes in increased feelings of pessimism, hopelessness, irritability, and lethargy in her opponents, which might last as long as the clouds themselves, but have the potential to linger on depending on the susceptibility of the character in question. Use: once per battle (twice is possibility, but Genbu is seriously compromised both physically and emotionally as a result).

*A note on these attacks: While Genbu is the one casting, she herself is not impervious to her own magic. Therefore it's highly advisable that she should battle in tandem with other senshi.
*Another note: the psychological impacts of Genbu's magic are based strongly on the symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder. This is why I am leaving it up to players to determine in a situation by situation basis how much or little it actually impacts their character.
*Does her eternal attack do two things?! Nope; while this is Genbu's most offensive attack, it's worth keeping in mind that senshi, knights, and negaverse officers all have an increased resistance to the cold. The cold is the package her attacks come wrapped in, triggering the real force of her magic, which is purely psychological.
*Thundersnow?! - After hearing this occurs in my area, I decided to check it out. Looking at it here, I couldn't help but think it looks like a turtle shell of clouds!

Team Senryaku: Sailor Hawk, Kapoodles, Tasinei, shyanimegrl

Name: Haeli Young

Nickname: Li

Age: 18

Birthday: September 19

Sign: Virgo

Gemstone: Citrine

Blood Type: A+

Fav. Food: chicken salad

Hated Food: those salad greens she encounters rarely with an overwhelming bitter taste

School: Meadowview High School

Hobbies:

Reading - Li's memories contain bits and pieces of clear recollections of points in time that she attributes to her increasing love of going along on adventures told in pages. These include being assigned book reports in elementary school, summarizing what she read in class and mysteriously even to her, then finding herself writing book reports of her own accord. Her voluntary book report writing days have passed, but still she went on to continually delve into pages of stories such as those she encountered on the bookshelves of libraries, that were recommended to her by others, and so forth. Time after time she takes a hard copy or electronic print in her hands to relieve stress, have fun, indulge her curiosity, etc etc.

Gaming - Li finds playing various kinds of games fun, from roleplaying online to visiting arcades to booting up a title she either paid for or discovered for free and more. She finds the time she takes to have a break and play a game for a number of minutes or hours a breath of fresh air that helps energize her during her days. And she continues to learn from experience that along with other aspects of life, budgeting her time spent gaming so as to juggle it with other things is easier said than done but also worthwhile to ease tension and keep sane.

Virtues:

a level-headed person -- Li looks before she leaps. This trait gives her a calm and sensible air about her. She is inclined to constantly aim at making plans as carefully as she can manage before she acts so that they make sense to her and are pulled off as efficiently as possible. For example, if she wants to get some groceries on the way home, she will consider other errands she has to run along the way and avoid going home to then go back out because she forgot to do something. She would also consider what she intends to shop for since whether or not there are items for refrigeration on her list would influence if she does or doesn't add a stop between the grocery store and home. Yet, if she does forget something, she seeks a solution as promptly as she can muster while striving not to panic or pout to the point of being too overwhelmed to get problem solving done, such as taking to consider how soon the task she'd forgotten needs to be done and if she can't postpone it then she would also consider that it could turn out to serve as added exercise in her day to go back out and accomplish it.

a tenacious being -- Failure does not keep Li down. She is not at all immune to the disappointment that comes with it, but her eyes on her goal is not easily averted from endeavoring to accomplish what she has sought out to do. This ranges from beating a high score in a game to finally understanding a math computation and so forth.

Flaws:

an over-thinker -- It totally is not uncommon for Li to overdo thinking about something, especially the more important she finds it. It tends to take her a while to remember that she does not have to fuss over every little detail and possibility with regards to the course of action she is considering. And it can help her to receive a reminder to go ahead and act with what she has thought out and work with what comes up along the way so she is not stuck at inaction.

a soft-hearted soul -- From personally wanting or thinking then acting on something to make it happen is not the entire picture for Li. She is inclined to consider inclusions to also be affected by her decisions as well. It is a familiar occurrence for her to sacrifice minor comforts easily and from her experiences so far, make more complicated sacrifices when it concerns her family. This can lead to her being repeatedly taken for granted and often times she has experienced this with her own relatives. It could have to do with the financial strains her family circle is no stranger to and that she is an eldest child with an upbringing that has strict and from time to time questionable expectations of her that include obedience and respect. Her self-sacrifice in different degrees under difficult conditions can pile up within her, stressing her out inside while she outwardly strives to keep her composure and taunting her with feelings of confused melancholy.


PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Eyes: They are a bright, light green in color.

Hair: Straight black hair maintained short two inches over her shoulder, Li prefers to keep her hair half up and half down by gathering strands of her hair over the front and middle top of her head starting where her hairline meets her forehead and then braiding it back a few inches to secure and allow the latter rest of those strands to blend with those left untied.

Face: She has an oval-shaped face with small ears.

Skin Tone: Hers is a light brown.

Senshi: Sailor Suzaku of South

Challenge: South can be quite an interesting direction.

Attacks:

Suzaku's orbit the theme of satisfaction that provides warmth and comfort, such as heading to the south to find something to relax like how birds fly south for the less harsh seasons there.

The specialty of the senshi of South is utilization of satisfaction to hold off combatants.

It isn't impossible for all three to be interrupted, missed, dodged, or broken out of by exiting the spells' chambers. And these three's effects can only work on the intended receiver decided on when cast.

Sailor Scout Attack: Puzzling Box
Puzzling Box involves forming a chamber with shifting puzzle pieces making up its walls and keeping the opponent feeling satisfactorily occupied at the sight of the puzzle's movements around them.

Suzaku angles herself to face her target and lifts her hands in front of her with fingertips alight in vibrant colors followed by their forward movement in the direction of the target so that her fingertips meet, on hand over the other, as the chamber surrounds the combatant.

It can reach a target up to 7 feet away and its effect last for 35 seconds. This attack is limited to 3 times a day.

Super Sailor Scout Attack: Puzzling Box 2.0
In describing the extent of changes from Puzzling Box to Puzzling Box 2.0, it is like going from an easy puzzle to a more entertaining and challenging one with more pieces comprising it.

After the chamber is formed, Suzaku brings her hands back towards her as the ring finger and pink of the bottom hand curls while the three other stretched fingers come together. Meanwhile her top hand moves so her stretched pinky, ring finger and middle finger come together while her index finger and thumb form a circle to see through with one eye yet keeping both eyes open, and which then is followed by the bottom hand going out toward the chamber like a gun. This point is when the puzzle pieces appear to shatter into many more smaller ones that quickly settle back into rhythmic motions on the chamber walls.

It can reach a target up to 9 feet away and its effect last for 40 seconds. This attack is limited to 3 times a day.

Eternal Sailor Attack: Colorful Pinwheel of Flight
Colored orbs of light appear around Suzaku then she spins in place with her arms reaching out to her sides as the orbs circle her and the colors blend like that of a pinwheel. After the 360 degree turn, the lights have gathered between her palm to then take on the shape of birds that fly and circle around the target as a flock forming a chamber. This has the effect of painting scenes around the target so they are caught in an overriding sense of satisfaction in that they're watching or seeing movie clips or views to their liking.

It can reach a target up to 11 feet away and its effect last for 45 seconds. This attack is limited to 3 times a day.

History:

((c: We are open to crit with regards to if the ideas in () could work with shop regulations.))

(Their ancestors, the original carriers of the powers, each had a symbol of their battle, a brooch that they hung at their waists. When it was time, the accessory was passed down by the carrier to their child and so forth. Now, four girls have them, given to them upon their thirteenth birthdays, and told only this: that they have been passed down in the family so long; that no one remembers what they were for; and "If you don't know before you pass it on to your eldest daughter on her thirteenth birthday, it's not yours."

Who would know? Three words that comprise quite a query.

When an eldest daughter turns thirteen and the parent who holds the heirloom still doesn't know its purpose, the heirloom is to be given to their daughter. And if the daughter figures out what it's for before her own eldest daughter turns thirteen then that heirloom is meant for her to keep.

However, another truth of this matter is that it was long ago that these four families were separated.
)

There was an exhibit focusing around myths of the ancient world at one of Destiny City's museums and one of them was the ancient story of the Dragons of the Sea, the four cardinal directions.

Four girls were drawn to it who got to talking together.

And they hit it off really well! Who would have thought they would get along in such a short span of moments of time the way that they had? Yet, that is what had happened. And of course, it was then that they learned they all attend Meadowview High School, oh, coincidences, coincidences!

(What contributed as well to bringing these girls together is that they also found it interesting that they have the same kind of accessory that is their family heirlooms. 'OMG I HAVE ONE TOO,' 'Oh I have that too in a different color,' 'me too,' and so on were among the phrases of their conversation that they exchanged between themselves with regards to this added coincidence!)

Their talks kept going, and they decided to also chat and relax at the local juice bar across the street from the museum.

So, it's a no-brainer that the four of them became great friends!

But, in addition to all this, they were also magically drawn together, very literally to boot!

Each's a senshi!

They didn't all awaken together or by the same order cat either. Brioche's one of the order cats. Some of these girls received feline advice to look for their teammates and that they'll know when they find them to join forces. How they teamed up was staggered. At one point, two of them encountered the same foe. At another point, one tried to defend and protect against an attack and unexpectedly theirs wasn't the only transformation. And there was the time an order cat, with knowing that there are those who have powered forms among this group of four friends, approached and awakened a new teammate during a meet-up.

They became Team Senryaku!

The inspiration of their team name includes that in Japanese it means strategy or tactics and is also like a blend of their senshi names.

Genbu was voted leader of their bunch.

And the rest's history-in-the-making!

Kitsune Mistress Nyoko


Shameless Elocutionist

PostPosted: Fri Oct 02, 2015 12:49 am


Team Shiseijū: Das Tor, Redbud-Tree, -_Wish of Tevarae_-, Kitsune Mistress Nyoko

----------

Name: Shizuka Minami

Nickname: Zuki (By Natalia), Zucchini (By Natalia), Shizu (By Merle)

Age: 16

Birthday: August 20th

Sign: Leo

Gemstone: Sardonyx

Blood Type: O+

Fav. Food: Melonpan

Hated Food: Zucchini

School: Meadowview High School

Hobbies:

  • Singing - Even as a child Shizuka had a beautiful voice, and as soon as she was old enough her parents signed her up for her school's chorus. Initially it was just something she did to kill time, but after landing her first solo it became a passion of hers. Having all eyes on her while she's belting out that final high note is the biggest rush she knows, and she's more than happy to put in the work to improve if it means she can keep getting attention.

  • Sewing - This particular hobby started out as something Shizuka did with her mother, and more in the sense of mending old clothes than creating something new. But soon enough she started to get a bit more creative, and she found she enjoyed creating something unique just for herself. Upcycling thrift store finds is one of her favorite ways to add new things to her wardrobe, although she's perfectly able to make things from bolts of fabric when the mood strikes her.

  • Photography - What started as just the occasional picture of something Shizuka found neat or wanted to remember spiraled into a core part of how she interacts with the world. It isn't uncommon to find her taking pictures with her phone when she's out with her friends or family, and she meticulously sorts through these pictures for scrapbooking purposes later. Every major event has either an entire album or a scrapbook in the works, with the completed ones holding a special space on her bookshelf.

Virtues:

  • When You Need A Helping Hand - When it comes time to ask for a little assistance, Shizuka is always a good person to turn to. Whether it's lending her skills to sew costumes for the drama department or going out of her way to brighten someone's day, she's always willing to offer her support where she feels it's needed. But not all help is tangible, and a listening ear and a warm shoulder are things she's just as likely to offer as her practical skills. A little kindness can go a long way, and if she can do the tiniest thing to show someone that the world isn't all bad... Well, she thinks it's worth it in the end.

  • I'm Not Going To Mince Words - Shizuka isn't one to beat around the bush. She has a blunt honesty that's almost refreshing in the days when people are just as soon to go behind your back about something on the internet. If she thinks a sweater makes you look bad or if you've done something to upset her, she'll let you know and she won't try to cover it up. That being said, her honesty isn't for the purpose of being cruel. While she doesn't hide things, she will do her best to soften the blow when she knows someone needs to hear something. And she knows there are times when the best way to be honest is to stay silent.

  • Nothing's Gonna Bring Me Down - As far as Shizuka is concerned, the glass is always half full. Everything that happens has a purpose, and there's no reason to sweat the small stuff when you can just keep moving forward to something bigger and better. She doesn't let the unexpected drag her down, and her upbeat attitude is borderline infectious. Energy and enthusiasm are practically her default setting, and it's a difficult feat to put a damper on either. Any attempts to rain on her parade might be met with a comment on how much she enjoys the rain at worst, and her outright enjoying herself to spite the attempt at best.

Flaws:

  • I'm The Center Of The Universe - If there's one thing Shizuka can't get enough of, it's attention. She thrives the most when all eyes are on her, and absolutely despises being ignored. Her attention seeking nature can be a source of conflict with people who find it annoying, especially those who try to point out her flaws. Her opinion of herself is strong, and she refuses to let anyone try to change it - even if they're trying to better her. She's perfect the way she is, and anyone who thinks she isn't is just trying to tear her down for no reason.

  • What's Mine Is Mine - The biggest and most glaring problem with Shizuka is easily her tendency to get overly attached. She has a difficult time embracing the concept of friends having other friends, and can get extremely jealous when she finds the people she cares about spending more time with people that aren't her. And as bad as it gets with her friends, it can get even worse when she's dating someone. Hanging out as a group is all well and good, but she wants to be the only person spending quality time with her besties.

  • Things Need To Move Quicker - There's nothing in the universe that gets on Shizuka's nerves quite like having to wait. She likes her gratification to be immediate, and when it isn't she gets irritable and anxious. If things aren't moving fast enough for her liking, she has a bad habit of skipping over important steps in the hopes of getting to the end result quicker. This goes about as well as one might expect, and a lot of the time her speeding through things tends to blow up in her face in the end. Unfortunately, she still hasn't quite learned her lesson that the old adage of patience being a virtue is actually true.

History: Shizuka was born in Destiny City, to third generation Japanese-American parents. While she speaks rather fluent Japanese, she can't read or write a single word of it. Her parents never enforced any particular traditions on her, and while some of her favorite comfort foods tend to be Japanese foods taught to her by her mother, she enjoys American foods much more regularly than anything one might consider "traditional."

As for her history with her friends, the four girls all met while helping out with a local drama production at Meadowview. Shizuka, Fleurelle, and Merle all lended their sewing skills to work on the costumes while Natalia worked as a lighting/sound technician. The four became fast friends, and by the end of the production not only were they all besties, but Natalia and Shizuka had started dating.

Their awakening as senshi was... Well, it was entirely accidental.

It was supposed to just be your average day hanging out for the four of them. But on the way to the get together, Fleurelle "found" what she believed to be a lost cat. It certainly looked like it had an owner, and it was probably better to take the poor thing with her to keep it safe and find whoever the cat belonged to with the help of her friends, right?

But once the four girls were together with the cat, it became clear that they had the potential to be senshi. The cat revealed itself to be a guardian, and awakened all four of them in one go.
