Name: Eli Roland Nicknames: Apollo, to everyone but his parents, because 'Eli is my father's name', so he prefers his middle name. His girlfriend sometimes calls him 'My Hero'. Pronouns: He/him, but if you misgender him he rolls with it. Age: 22 Birthday: 1 January
Occupation: Author of a fiction series called "Star Fires". Well, he's trying to turn it into a series, book 2 just barely came out.
Hobbies:
Reading -- Big surprise the author likes reading. Apollo's been a book hound for years and credits reading as what got him into writing. He's also the man whom writes what he loves most -- Apollo buys fiction books with grand adventures and epic tales of daring-do, and loves to imagine himself saving the world. It's a crack addiction, really. Literary mode.
Tabletop Gaming -- Apollo lives his fantasies of being A Hero through tablertop. He likes 3.0 and 5.0 DnD, and Pathfinder most, but he's not above runningh Call of Cthulhu. Apollo adores these adventures as a break and to feel heroic in a world he's just a big nerd, and plans to one day introduce his loved ones to it.
History -- Apollo is a history buff. He doesn't specialize in one area though -- he's into Hamilton, the SCA, and even Civil War reenactments. He likes seeing cook books and reprinted books, he loves knowing where humanity has come from and where it shall go; and everyu scrap of new historic fact makes him happy! Now if he'd stop collecting old media like laserdisc and records, but he probably won't.
Pros:
"Just let us adore you."Devoted -- Apollo doesn't 'do' flip. When he cares for someone, he's completely devoted to them -- as a friend, as a family member, as their partner. He feels it important to show how much people mean to him every day and takes his relationships very seriously, seriously enough to give his all for, and he makes sure his loved ones and friends know thewy mean everything to him.
"My enemies don't distract me!"Patient -- Apollo is a patient men. He doesn't rile easily in most cases, he's willing to wait and play the long game in affairs, and he's generally tolerant of things many people have no patience for. He's fairly mellow and draws people to him readily for that calm, if not is straight willing to put up with way more than most in most aspects. Things often seem to roll off his back, even if not always, and he generally doesn't ruffle or grow impatient, both with waiting, tasks, or, well, much else.
"My friends bids me come and see ravens in the library, setting quiet pages free!"Pleasant -- Apollo is on the subdued side, but speaks softly, pleasantly, and tries speaking kindly to others. He's mindful others judge him on how he conducts himself and gladly steps out into the world, speaking with others about matters of the day, or hobbies and interewsts -- Apollo is just generally pleasant and friendly to others as his default approach, and people like to talk to him because they know he listens, for all his faults, and that he's a caring, compassionate soul, deep down.
Cons:
"Beata Maria, you know I am so much purer than the common vulgar weak licentious crowd!"Arrogant -- Apollo is, well, full of himself. It's a problem -- he thinks he's hot stuff for being successful so young, and this leads to problems when arguing. And it's not just in your face up front preening. He doesn't preen. He just hsappily points out that you're wrong, your informant was wrong, and he's right. TYhe was he shows it is by getting condescending with people he's far less attatched to and he's a nightmare to pull from the mentality. But it's not others' faults, he's just so much better, smile sweetly, walk away.
"All our fathers' backs are broken, and our prophets are insane..."Obsessive -- Apollo gets obsessed, easilyu. He has longterm obsessions like writing and such but also short term ones. He doesn't just obsess in moderation and move on though, but it instead affects his choices, his plans, and his goals. Sometimes his obsessions cool into healthy interests, and sometimes they consume him like a wildfire and he needs to be yanked back to earth before they burn him up and out and leave him a burnt out ember with no energy for anything else -- it's really unpredictable with him, and drives people whom don't 'get' it batty.
-Insert Indiana Jones Theme here-Hero Complex -- Apollo wants to be a hero. Bad. Small potatoes don't do it for him and he will rather quickly strike out trying to help better others' lives or prevent some HJORRIBLE tragedy from happening. It's.. It's prtetty bad. He doesn't ask if people need help sometimes. He barges into situations, not thinking he might be misreading something, and tries to just SAVE THE DAY! Sometimes it's small potatoes he CAN handle like giving a little kid the last cookie, or he'll mistake a guy approaching a woman in a trench for a flasher and barge over only to learn that's the lady's brother or husband. He just reacts to situations rexpecting to save someone from something petty or less petty and it usually takes someone used to his dorkness to stop him before he makes an a** of himself. And yes, when by himself, he makes an a** of himself. Sigh.
(Again, you may have as many as you'd like here... But we ask that you have at least two. Cons should not outweigh Pros in number.)
General Appearance
Apollo is roughly 5'8 with pale skin with pinky undertones, brilliant indigo eyes (Like Elizabeth TYaylor), thick lashes, and layered shoulder length snow hued hair that he ties back for formal events... Like date night. Commonly he likes nice loafers, black or khaki slacks, button up shirts, and vests in various cool colors. He has a somewhat muscuylar build with a broad chest and strong featurtes. Facially, besidesw beautiful eyes, he has a small upturned nose and delicate lips that have a natural smile to them.
Uniform Color: A Sailor Soldier will always start out with WHITE as a base color, no matter what! In addition to that they may have two additional colors. Ideally, these colors should compliment each other, but otherwise tell us what they are!
Primary Color: Outer Space (Hex triplet #414A4C) Secondary Color: Iridescent Black; black based under a sheen of greens, blues, and purples, if possible.
Uniform:
This is JUST for your base stage. At the base stage Sailor Soldiers typically have a considerable amount in common given the simplicity of their uniforms. Their individuality comes into play between Super and Eternal, so please keep in mind that this is your BASIC design.
Collar -- Outer Space, feathered cloak-like or Historically Accurate Vikinglike Brooch -- Itty bitty Raven. Alternatively, just go with Historically!Accurate!Vikings. Ayyyyy. All I ask is no hammers please. Technically, Mjolnir is associated with Thor andf is worn to invoke his protection, even historically; and Odin's ravens were plain looking so... forgive my Norse ramblings. |D Chest Bow -- Iridescemt Black colored strips of fabric that tie in a bow and is connected to his collar or cloak to connect everything. Very simple.. Bodice -- It exists, Viking vibes. Nothing fancy though. Bottoms -- Outer Space pants. Viking vibes, simplistic. Tiara -- Simple gunmetal iron circlet with a viking theme! Butt Bow -- Work it in, preferably something suitably leatherlike.
Accessories -- I'd like some viking vibes -- specifically, the Historically Accurate variety. Generally speaking; of especial interest are feathery accessories, or Other things would be gunmetal pieces of jewelry with precious or semi-precious stones or other shiny items.
Keep in mind that your PRIMARY COLOR will be used for your bottoms and sailor collar while your SECONDARY COLOR will be used for things like your chest bow and butt bow. Our artists will work with you to accommodate your ideas, but may simplify some things to fit the BASIC Sailor design.
Attacks: Think of these as the 'magic spells' that your Sailor Soldier has to use in battle. These attacks should fit with the theme of your senshi and flow accordingly.
Sailor Scout Attack: Ravens Flight
Sailor Gagarin raises an arm like a falconer, before an eight foot shadow of an ash tree sprouts from his feet, with his feet as the base, and the sihlouettes of two ravens shoot out over it, flying over it in a helix before two average-looking ravens appear on Gagarin's shoulders, whispering what they've seen in the shadow's path to him before vanishing as the spell ends.
Information collected: faction based on uniform, weapon if it's been drawn, and appearance, and 1-2 identifying features (like eye color, hairstyle/color, simple things.) Line of sight is not required and the spell can be cast in any direction; however the shadow of the tree may be followed to Gagarin while spell is active. Flight time: 7.5 seconds / reporting time 7.5 seconds, totalling 15 seconds. The ravens can be struck by magic or a weapon on Gagarin's shoulders to 'poof' them into nothing and interrupt the report. Can be cast x3
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Raven's Journey
Sailor Gagarin raises an arm like a falconer, before an eight foot shadow of an ash tree sprouts from his feet, with his feet as the base, and the sihlouettes of two ravens shoot out over it, flying over it in a helix before two average-looking ravens appear on Gagarin's shoulders, whispering what they've seen in the shadow's path to him before vanishing as the spell ends.
Information collected: faction based on uniform, weapon if it's been drawn, and 1 - 2 identifying features (blue eyes, hairstyle/color, ETC). Flight time is 10 seconds // Reporting time is 10 seconds for a 20 second spell total. When the ravens' path passes over opponents Gagarin might have encountered prior as credible foes they will attack, causing injuries equivalent to being pecked and clawed by two ravens, making enough sound in doing so to alert Gagarin so he can either join the fray OR make a hasty retreat. This effect does not affect training partners, friends/allies, or civilians. Otherwise they return to complete their report as usual. Can be cast x3
Eternal Sailor Attack: Loyal Huginn and Muninn's Grace
Sailor Gagarin raises his arms like a falconer, and twoo semi-tangible ravens launch from his arm and fly skyward, connecting to Gagarin's thoughts and memory as a sort-of extension of the senshi. These ravens are of average size and build for local ravens and circle Gagarin and any close-in allies from on high, attacking as a combination offensive/defensive spell for 30 seconds.
The radius of the circling ravens is approximately 10 feet. These ravens respond to memory and thought from Gagarin to identify past opponents or engage new ones, allowing them to identify threats on the fly. Anyone who wishes to attack Gagarin and his allies during the duration of the spell will have to do so while being attacked and may find it harder to focus on attacking as a result. Injury from the ravens is moderate cuts, bruising, and scratches as if attacked by ravens twice their size, but this is the maximum and the attack can be less as desired. Cast 1x

b]When and where were you awakened [2 years ago he was writing his second novel and went walking. While out he caught sight of Sailor Dubhe running patrols and asked after how she became an Obvious Superhero. That's when the cat showed up and awakened Sailor Gagarin. Not only did he get powers of his own, he managed to charm himself into a relationship. Win-win, really.
What have you been doing for the past 2 years? Apollo finished a novel, began the third novel in his series, and has been dating Dubhe/Yolanda Galanis for TWO YEARS. It's a Very Serious Relationship. He also likes to scout for Danger! but he's otherwise mostly writing and kissing his lady.
What stage would you like to start at? 1st
Please provide us with a link to your Alternate Universe journal so that we can confirm you are importing your character.
On the civ side of things -- overall he looks great! One small thing and he'll be good to go on this side --
Naming for imports. From the Q&A thread I've got the following:
Quote:
If you are importing a character it should start with the civilian character as its base, because that is the heart of who the character is. Some things about the civilian may change -- fleshing out the character further, adjusting their age (in the event of players with chibi senshi that they would like to import), modifying their core to fit the change in setting -- but they should still be the same civilian.
I should've noted this when we were approving Yolie, but we'd approved the change to her last name partially because Hydrus is a constellation and updating that helps to avoid confusion and I'm sorry for not mentioning that!
With the civ side of things we'd need Eli added in to his name, so something like: Eli Apollo Roland [he goes by his middle name and has always introduced himself as such, or maybe he started going by that primarily once his writing career took off?]
Other than that you're 100% good to go on the civ side!
On the powered side of things! Gagarin is available as a name, Ravens is available as a sphere! The artists will review the fuku information with you when it comes time for them to work on the art and I'm here to review the powers!
I really like the way you've got them tied to some great mythos involving ravens! It shows that you've put a lot of thought into it. I am going to make a few recommendations for clarity and ease of reading at a quick glance, however! I'm also going to recommend that at 1st stage the attack is limited to just the flight with the addition of physical damage being added in at 2nd stage as part of the power of progression.
Basic - Sailor Gagarin raises one arm and the shadow of two ravens fly from him, quickly surveying the field within 10ft of him before returning to perch on his shoulders, at which point they take on the solid form of two very real ravens who whisper what they saw into Gagarin's ear after which point they vanish, disappearing into a flurry of lights and feathers.
Duration: Flight - 10 seconds + Information transfer - 5 seconds = 15 seconds total
Information passed on at this stage includes opponent's location and weapon type. Line of sight is not required as the ravens cover an area, acting as Gagarin's eyes.
Can be cast 3x per day
ALTERNATIVELY I would also pose the following suggestion to you -- Instead of splitting the duration into 10 seconds of flight + 5 seconds of information transfer... What if Gagarin simply sees through the eyes of the ravens? As the Senshi of Ravens/embodiment of the birds, they are Gagarin's eyes and he sees what they see during flight? Doing so requires concentration and someone could knock into him/bump him out of the sight, but until then HE gets the strategic vantage point over the field?
Before I go any further, let me know what YOUR thinking and then we can review the last two attacks!
I THINK I got everything, smack me if I didn't. =w=

NovaCracker
I'm sorry for the delay in getting back to you, Nova! I'm also going to apologize for the possible lack of clarity of my last post and I hope that the following helps to clear things up a little bit!
So far this has been roughly the standard for duration and range for attacks that we've been approving:
Quote:
Basic:
Range: 10ft (line, cone or radius)
Duration: 15 seconds/equivalent of 1 post following the attack
Uses: 3x per day
Super:
Range: 15ft (line, cone or radius)
Duration: 20-25 seconds/equivalent of 1.5-2 posts following the attack
Uses: 3x per day
Eternal:
Range: 20ft (line, cone or radius)
Duration: 30 seconds (although stating that the effects can linger longer based on character preferences has not been uncommon!)
Uses: 1x per day
With that being the case, the current time frames for Gagarin's Basic and Super are both a little bit on the long side! That's why I had suggested the possibility of Gagarin seeing through the eyes of his ravens as opposed to waiting for them to report back as a possible alternative versus shortening the amount of information he can get!
For the Super attack I'm going to make another follow-up suggestion as I think that both doing that kind of damage along with providing Gagarin with potentially important information might actually be a bit much. My suggestion would be that if Gagarin's ravens recognize someone that Gagarin has fought before they stop their flight to attack them? If they do this they wouldn't be able to complete their loop to report back, but Gagarin would be able to hear the attack to know that they'd found something, possibly?
With the Eternal an 8' circle isn't all that big and I'd possibly consider bumping this up to at least a 10' radius to give Gagarin and his allies a little more breathing room while still staying close enough that his loyal ravens can keep them all safe!
Let me know if you have any questions and feel free to quote me whenever you're ready to move on!
Another rewrite later... |D I meddled a little bit -- some areas did take a nerf since other aspects are in there to counterbalance because I'm a git, so there's functioning attacks IN, if some got meddled in again.
Also rewrote the eternal, tweaked it, probably should've noted the ravens in flight can be hit with magic regardless of natural ranges but -Throws hands up- IT'S SOMETHING FUNCTIONAL.
I am getting on the worried side since things are beginning to feel like they're getting further from the original material than I'd prefer in terms of execution since in myth the ravens of Odin just gathered information then told Odin wehat they learned at the end, or scouted battlefields for him so I was already working with damage as a bonus but. -Hands in air- =w=; IDEK, reallyu. Anxious wordvomit.

TRBALANCED AGAIN per Discord now my brain isn't imploding.
I'm sorry for the double-quote, I fubared some coding pretty badly.
Real quick, because we're almost there. We do very much get what you're going for with the Super Sailor Attack, and we appreciate that you tried to compensate by shortening the duration of the attack, however we're still going to have to request that the act of doing damage interrupts the collection of information as the ravens attack, not their shadows.
For ease of communication, we've taken your attacks and marked the things that we would change below, notating the reason in blue for visibility and hopefully making it easier to follow along!
Sailor Scout Attack: Ravens Flight
Sailor Gagarin raises an arm like a falconer, before an eight foot shadow of an ash tree sprouts from his feet, with his feet as the base, and the silhouettes of two ravens shoot out over it, flying over it in a helix before two average-looking ravens appear on Gagarin's shoulders, whispering what they've seen in the shadow's path to him before vanishing as the spell ends.
Information collected: Alignment (Order or Chaos)[As one of the abilities Gagarin gets as a Sailor Soldier is the ability to sense auras, he can already do this without his attack!], faction based on uniform, weapon if it's been drawn, and 1-2 identifying features (like eye color, hairstyle/color, simple things.)
Line of sight is not required and the spell can be cast in any direction; however the shadow of the tree may be followed to Gagarin while spell is active.

Flight time is 810 seconds // Reporting time is 810 seconds for a 20 second spell total.
When the ravens' shadows cross in the helix, opponents Gagarin might have encountered prior as credible foes will experience minor injury equivalent to being pecked and clawed by two ravens.When the ravens' path passes over opponents Gagarin might have encountered prior as credible foes they will attack, causing injuries equivalent to being pecked and clawed by two ravens, making enough sound in doing so to alert Gagarin so he can either join the fray OR make a hasty retreat.

Can be cast x3
(Alternatively, you can still skip the damage dealing entirely and just give yourself the longer flight/report time so you have more of an advantage tactically -- ex. Instead of just reading a single opponent the ravens now have the time to discern information on 2-3 opponents?)
Eternal Sailor Attack: Loyal Huginn and Muninn's Grace
Sailor Gagarin raises his arms like a falconer, and two semi-tangible ravens launch from his arm and fly skyward, connecting to Gagarin's thoughts and memory as a sort-of extension of the senshi. These ravens are of average size and build for local ravens and circle Gagarin and any close-in allies from on high, attacking as a combination offensive/defensive spell for 30 seconds.
The radius of the circling ravens is approximately 10 feet.
These ravens respond to memory and thought from Gagarin to identify past opponents or engage new ones, allowing them to identify threats on the fly.
The ravens are semi-tangible and may be 'poofed' from being with a projectile or ranged spell able to reach upward (They CAN be targeted), ending the spell sooner. Traditional spell or weapon range is ignored to compensate for the vertical height; targeting the ravens will connect. (Side note - if you don't want them to be targeted you don't have to, especially since this is Gagarin's Eternal attack. Instead, you could say something like:
Anyone who wishes to attack Gagarin and his allies during the duration of the spell will have to do so while being attacked and may find it harder to focus on attacking as a result.
Otherwise, you can leave it as is if you want!)
Injury from the ravens is moderate cuts, bruising, and scratches as if attacked by ravens twice their size, but this is the maximum and the attack can be less as desired.
Cast 2x1x (Sailor Soldiers only get 1x Eternal Attack as at this stage they can still use their Super magic as well!).

[*] When the ravens' path passes over opponents Gagarin might have encountered prior as credible foes they will attack, causing injuries equivalent to being pecked and clawed by two ravens, making enough sound in doing so to alert Gagarin so he can either join the fray OR make a hasty retreat. This effect does not affect training partners, friends/allies, or civilians. Otherwise they return to complete their report as usual. [*]Can be cast x3[/list]
[b]Eternal Sailor Attack:[/b] Loyal Huginn and Muninn's Grace
Sailor Gagarin raises his arms like a falconer, and twoo semi-tangible ravens launch from his arm and fly skyward, connecting to Gagarin's thoughts and memory as a sort-of extension of the senshi. These ravens are of average size and build for local ravens and circle Gagarin and any close-in allies from on high, attacking as a combination offensive/defensive spell for 30 seconds. [list][*] The radius of the circling ravens is approximately 10 feet. [*] These ravens respond to memory and thought from Gagarin to identify past opponents or engage new ones, allowing them to identify threats on the fly. [*] Anyone who wishes to attack Gagarin and his allies during the duration of the spell will have to do so while being attacked and may find it harder to focus on attacking as a result. [*] Injury from the ravens is moderate cuts, bruising, and scratches as if attacked by ravens twice their size, but this is the maximum and the attack can be less as desired. [*] Cast 1x[/list]
CONGRATULATIONS SAILOR SOLDIER! Your character has been approved!
As for your awakening... About a year ago the Watchful Guardian awakened Sailor Dubhe -- Out on a walk Apollo heard voices and was very surprised to find out that one of the voices was a cat. Upon realizing that Apollo could hear him talking the Watchful Guardian provided him with a henshin pen and communication device as well, suggesting that the two take this coincidence as a chance to get to know one another/work together. The rest, as they say, is history!
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 haven't made any critiques on the uniforms so far, but the artists will work with you as best they can while also making sure that the fuku fits shop guidelines!)
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**
