Name: Sitara Brennan Nicknames: Sita Pronouns: She/Her Age: 20 Birthday: September 9th School:
Hobbies:
Listening to Music - Music has a calming influence on most people, but for Sitara it actually is invigorating. It helps her to focus her mind as well as spark her creativity. She gets ideas for her own songs and often makes up dances to go along with the music she hears. Music also helps to to better envision the world around her, the words making clear that which her eyes cannot.
Dancing - She likes to lose herself to the feeling of music and one of the ways she does this is by surrendering her body to the dance. She moves with a fluid grace that can only come to one that truly is free of her inhibitions. Her favorite types of dance are slow, soft motions, that flow together in a perfect blend of emotions.
Singing/Writing Music - Though in no way a professional, Sitara takes pride and entertainment in writing her own lyrics to songs as well as the music that accompanies them. She has been known to focus mostly on random dance music, but also has written a few new age/trance mixes just for fun. She can always be heard singing through the halls at school, as well as at home in her back yard and garden.
Pros:
Loyal Friend - Sitara has a heart of gold, and when she loves someone it is a good and deep love that spans through time and space. She will fight hard to protect a friend, giving her all and sometime even more than that to keep her friends out of harms way. Sita is the sort of person that will bring you soup when you are sick. She will sit and listen when you are crying, or offer a calming shoulder. She will give those she has claimed as hers, the shirt of her very back, just to keep them safe and warm. Because of her loyalty, she had managed to create a wide network of friends that are more than willing to return the favor.
Calming Influence - Sitara always has an aura around her, not a physical one, but more a feeling of calm that tends to carry over to those that she meets and interacts with. She can bring a smile to the face of most people within seconds, simply by striking up a conversation or offering a sweet smile to them herself. She also tries her best to make all people comfortable when she is around.
Cons:
Quiet - She normally keeps to herself, because she knows she's going to be behind in any conversation. Sita needs to sit and process what is being said, and usually by the time she gets to a point of being comfortable expressing a thought - the conversation around her has moved on from the point she just got comfortable about making, and so to save herself the frustration, she tends to just sit and listen and rarely interject. Its not that she wants to be the quiet demure mouse in the corner, she just doesn't see any other way to handle things without frustrating herself and others.
Easily Manipulated - Being a kind and loyal friend can have it's disadvantages. Her loyalty can be used against her, using those friends and loved ones as bait or as agents to convince her toward a different path. She will do anything to keep others safe, even if that means she has to give up something herself
General Appearance
Sitara is a darker-skinned, mixed race, female. Her mother is of Indian descent and her father is Black.
She has red eyes and black hair that falls down her back in heavy waves. Her hair stops at her tail bone.
She normally dresses in a mash up of Modern/Hindi style clothing, being most comfortable is looser fitting, yet stylish attire.

Eternal Sailor Attack: Embrace Nirvana
Kastra presses her palms together and then raises them above her head, before bringing them down in front of her and calling forth an ethereal avatar before her, hovering at chest height in the Lotus Position. This avatar enables Kastra to drop the pose and move freely. All enemies within 20' of her experiences a sudden transcendence of consciousness (effect varies by stage.) First stage characters spend the next two (2) posts locked in a complete daze as they are brought to complete inner peace and tranquility. Second stage characters are a bit more cognizant of their surroundings, but still spend the next two (2) posts wrapped in blissful tranquility. Third stage characters are completely aware of their surroundings, but are filled with a sense of complete serenity and peace. If anyone under the effect is physically attacked, they are immediately snapped out of their Nirvana.

When and where were you awakened 3 years ago, in a small, quiet suburb of Mayet. She was on her way to school when she came across a young man laying to the side of the road. He had been injured and was bleeding. She tended to his wounds and quickly found that things were not as normal as they appeared to be.
Seeing her skill at tending to the injured and keeping those that were panicked calm, she was brought into order to protect those that needed a little bit of tender love and care.
What have you been doing for the past 3 years? She has been attending collage, studying holistic medicine and massage therapy. She had also been dabbling in the medical field having found a calling in helping those that are sick or injured.
Recently she has been granted an internship at the Mayet General Hospital, bringing her from the suburbs to the city proper. She has been taking up residence near the rehabilitation complex, tending to those there that are in need of her special sort of medical treatment.
What stage would you like to start at? 2nd Please

Hi Serpentsong! Thank you for importing Sailor Kastra into ‘By Moonlight!’ - There are few things we’d like to go over
And just as a quick aside, Challenge isn't a required section to fill out on our form, so while you can certainly add it to your journal for flavor-text, you can remove that!
Civ Side:
Loyal: you’re off to a great start here, but it could be expanded on to great effect! Giving it her all, and sometimes more does tie in beautifully to her propensity to be manipulated. That said, the fact you have the flaw means you don’t have to reference it here on the merits! If anything I’d love to see more about what makes this good for her and those she cares about.
Quiet: -This sounds like a good start - but consider ‘Bottled up’ as the descriptor here instead! Since she’s tucking away her own feelings and an explosion can be triggered. It would fit very well with what you have written and add that extra layer of clarity to the flaw. - Also I’d love to see more on why she’s quiet! Is it self-doubt, does she think people won’t listen? What makes her want to bottle things away?
Sailor Uniform!
For the uniform -- Looks like a good start! Since she’ll be at the second stage, we just want you to take a quick look over the requirements which can be found Here!! Some things may need to be adjusted, such as bow length and the complexity of the tiara at this stage, but our artists will work with you to find a good progression with things based on this!
Powers!
The powers are off to a tremendous start, there are just a few suggestions!
The Range of her attacks can increase for all stages - we recommend 10 feet for your basic, 15 for super, and for eternal she can have a range of 20 feet!
Every power has a time limit as well as a range as well - For example ‘the magic itself takes a post from Kastra to perform. - The duration of that attack would be the next immediate post of those within the radius of her power’s influence. This time limit would work for both her starting attack and its power upgrade when she reaches super.
Her Eternal power could last two posts from those in the sphere of influence/ or her before wearing off!
Some other things for clarity and consideration - Does her power affect everyone within the radius, or specifically opponents? This would be important for RP purposes to know who is under the calming influence
Other than that - for both a beautiful visual effect and for battlefield practicality - I would consider using a sort of ‘avatar’ for her powers. Say a glowing ghostly figure appears to go through the yoga motions. This would leave her less vulnerable on the battlefield as even if the opponents are calm, they would still be capable of other actions. Plus, kneeling in any field of battle would make her especially vulnerable to attack.
Lastly! Where and Why! - The city of Mayet as you may have noticed has exceptionally low crime and is incredibly peaceful. At this time - there are no ‘strange incidents’ or attacks! Everything is quiet, even those recruited as Dark Kingdom Soldiers can’t be described as ‘evil’ at this time!
All she needs is a connection to the city itself - a cat will find you accordingly and instruct you on what you need to know.
Having her doing work at the hospital in the meantime, however, is a fabulous idea! It would be wonderful to have her in a position to give back to the community. Since she’s specifically studying holistic and massage therapy, perhaps she works in the rehab center, it would fit her area of specialization very well! A good reason for her to have transferred would be that the Mayet hospital might have an excellent internship program.

CONGRATULATIONS SAILOR SOLDIER! Your character has been approved!
In regards to your awakening, Mayet has been rather quiet -- blissfully so, really. While it was very kind of Sitara to pause and help a stranger it wasn't really the stranger who guided her towards enlightenment. The young man was fine, no more than a scraped knee (skateboard accident, he'd reassure her), but a white cat with a golden crescent moon on its forehead had been carefully watching her. The cat waited until she'd finished before approaching her, meowing in a way that sounded very much like a person saying 'meow'.
The rest, as they say it, was history. The Watchful Guardian provided Kastra with her henshin pen and communication device. He communicates with her to check in and provide updates periodically, typically via text (somehow, despite not having thumbs...) and at least once every few months in person to follow up on her progress (and maybe to restock on catnip), letting her know that as soon as other Mau become available they can discuss assigning her to someone who has the freedom to check in more frequently AND helping her make connections with other Sailor Soldiers.
We would highly recommend setting up a [Powered Journal] to keep track of your role plays! Please also see the [Import Art Thread] for how to obtain your powered art.
We look forward to seeing you around Mayet!
**Please note, powered Role Play is unavailable at this time. Civilian roleplays are welcome but may not be used for growth requirements until after Powered RP is released in the shop**
