Civilian Glamour Name: Dorian Gervasi
Note: He will not share his Ibirapitian name due to an on-planet ancient belief that this might give an outsider control. 'Dorian Gervasi' is roughly what his off-planet public name was 1000+ years ago.
Nickname: Dor.
Gender/Pronoun: Male, he/him/his. Will also accept they/them/their.
Age: Appears to be in his 30s. In reality, is 1274, birth year roughly the Earth CE 750, and was fully in adulthood when his planet froze his aging.
Birthday: Smacked his finger on a random date when he arrived on Earth and realized he'd need one to pass. (I'll judge this based on when he's accepted!)
Sign: (See birthday)
Gemstone: (See birthday)
Blood Type: B-
Fav. Food: Dorian's found he's quite fond of a French press coffee, mild bit of sugar.
Hated Food: He doesn't understand the appeal of steak.
Occupation: Unemployed to start. He'll likely move to get his private investigator license later on. (Might-as-well use his nosiness for something, right?)
Hobbies:
"Your planet grants quite the bounty." - Dorian has always loved plants, and he has always loved utilizing those plants. Coming to a planet with such abundant plant life has excited him, and it's not terribly uncommon to find him in parks, in greenhouses, and even taking small trips to forests to find out more about what plants surround him. He finds the most joy in figuring out the ways these plants can be used; he has started a few grapevines in hopes of making wine, and he has experimented with making his own flower dyes. He's also heard it isn't hard to make the concoction Earthlings call 'beer'...
"Makes me think of the good ol' days." - Before the life on his planet slowly crumbled, Dorian was a frequent attendee of bars, restaurants, and other local social gathering places. It isn't infrequent to find him attending Earth Bars, perhaps attempting to grasp back onto that reminder of what his life had once been. Much of his time that isn't spent trying to find ways to recover his world or fighting the Chaos on this one is spent in these social gathering spaces, especially in bars.
"Your current day fashion is ... lacking." - It's nothing personal, really, but Dorian doesn't quite understand the appeal of the current trends. He does, however, understand the appeal of trends that hit the planet over a hundred years ago. Most would find it to be something of a hobby, purposefully dressing more like a Victorian dandy than a modern-day citizen of Destiny City, but Dorian finds it to be an art, a comfort, a way of living. He loves going to vintage stores, finds reenactments quite curious, and might be dressed to the nines on most occasions. Even when at home, he prefers the luxury of silken robes.
Virtues:
"The pleasure's all mine." - Charismatic - Dorian was once a leading figure among an entire people, and he has the charisma to back that up. He makes himself hard not to get along with, greeting people with wide smiles and winks, jokes, and sympathy to their plights. He can be a bit of a social chameleon, weaving in and out of social interactions with all sorts of crowds and people. He may project this at the sources of Chaos on this planet, too, if he thinks it might get him somewhere.
"I'll shield you." - Protective - Dorian's formal position on his homeworld was as its guardian, a quasi-leadership position that was focused on shielding his people from threats both internal and external. He took that to heart, and he has a desire to protect the innocent that is generally unshakable. He will quickly move to defend others if they need it, selflessly, and doesn't expect or necessarily want anything in turn.
"Don't be an a*****e." - Principled - There are a few lines that shouldn't be crossed, even in the name of advancement or in attempts to save others. When he witnesses certain lines being crossed, it galls him, and Dorian is very passionate about the principles he holds. It folds into his protective trait, and typically, he will jump to the defense of anyone who suffers from the violation of his principles, often no matter what side they are on.
Flaws:
"Sometimes, I wonder if it's worth it." - Forlorn - For any amount of smooth charisma Dorian may put on, the reality is that he is quite miserable. He doesn't find joy in terribly much, and when he does, that joy is fleeting until it is buried back under charismatic masks and a sense of deep, penetrating sadness. His mood is hard to shake and can occasionally result in him seeming detached from his own life and his own circumstances. His focus is almost entirely outwards on others because inspecting the sorrows within is often too much to bear.
"I see." - Distant - He's lived decades alone, and though he never quite got used to being alone, he forces himself away from people anyway. Most of his attachments on Earth have the misfortune of remaining polite and kind and lovely but also, ultimately, surface-level. Dorian's mourning, and will continue to mourn for the foreseeable future. Bringing other people into his life from another planet also infested with Chaos brings with it a concern that he might be setting himself up for heartbreak again.
"Tell me more about that." - Nosy - Part of the reason why Dorian opened connections up to other peoples was that he desperately wanted to know more about them. For all that he won't let people close to him, Dorian has an endless nosy streak he can't quite shake off. He eavesdrops, he asks unnecessary questions, he uses his charisma to make himself appealing for other people to talk to, and generally, most of the situations that he's gotten himself into in his life beyond his senshi life have been the result of how terribly nosy he is. Sometimes it works out in his favor. Other times, it makes people find him incredibly annoying.
CIVILIAN GLAMOUR: PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Appearance:
Eyes: His eyes are a bright blue much like the Earth sky.
Hair: Brown, mildly wavy/curly. His hair is kept a bit longer but still kept roughly around his head.
Face Shape: Slightly rounded with a point at the chin.
Skintone: Relatively pale.
Clothes: Honestly, he dresses much like a Victorian waif. This TikTok is a hilariously good description of what he prefers to wear.o3

SAILOR IBIRAPITÁ
 Senshi: Sailor Ibirapitá, Senshi of Shade
...This sphere is specifically playing off the concepts of what the shade provides, versus the darker angle a sphere such as Shadow may take, such as the comfort it can offer to someone, the shelter from brightness, the coolness given and provided by plant life.
...Ibirapitá is an exoplanet named for an Uruguayan national tree with wide foliage that could provide plenty of shade!
Uniform Color:
Main Color: Dark green
Secondary Color: Brown
Uniform: See left!
Attacks:
Sailor Scout Attack: "Star Shield!"
Ibirapitá raises his hands, mimicking the foliage of a tree. This area may appear slightly darker, providing clarity as if getting away from a bright light. Those allies around him or his target will feel cooler and may feel comforted as he mimics casting a shade over them. This comfort comes with a benefit; the hits that come from their enemies are dulled, and some injury is deflected via the shielding of the shade.
(Usage: Thrice per battle
Duration: 30 seconds
Range: 5ft radius around target)
Super Sailor Scout Attack: "Star Block!"
Ibirapitá raises his hands, mimicking the foliage of a tree. This area may appear slightly darker, providing clarity as if getting away from a bright light. Those allies around him or his target will feel cooler and may feel comforted he mimicks casting a shade over them. This comfort comes with a benefit; the hits that come from their enemies are mitigated, and injury is deflected via the shielding of the shade.
(Usage: Twice per battle
Duration: 35 seconds
Range: 10ft radius around target)
Eternal Sailor Attack: "Warmth of the Shade!"
Ibirapitá sweeps his hand over the field or points his finger toward a target. A 15-foot radius around himself or the target will grow dark as if it is being covered by the shade of something else protecting it. Allies within this radius will find that their injuries ease back, and minor to moderate injuries may entirely stitch themselves up. This will ease serious injuries; while the shade will not entirely cure them, it will ease the pain and also do some minor repairs.
(Usage: Once per battle
Duration: 45 seconds
Range: 15ft radius around target)o4

Deep Space Senshi:
Physical Features:
Bioluminescent Eyes - Ibirapitá's eyes emit a faint glow that can flare in brightness in emotional situations or strenuous ones (i.e. battles). On his homeworld, this does help him see a bit better; on Earth, it has no significant special effect beyond the cosmetic, though it might make it more difficult for him to hide in a dark place.
Vine-like hair strands - Wrapping around Ibirapitá's hair are green vines that would flower with light blue buds during the spring and summer seasons. These flowers are primarily just pretty; they hold no special effects on Earth, and the vines are smooth with no thorns.
Overgrowth Attunement - This is an ability that is only useful on Ibirapitá's homeworld. He feels nature, innately, and like others of his species were once able, he can attune his energies to the world and dirt around him. On his homeworld, this once caused greenery to sprout around him and in his path. That ability has been lost to time. In the present, with great effort and attunement, plants may turn toward him as if he is giving off sunlight. (ICly, pending future plots and approvals, this may improve/grow easier as he works toward freeing his world of Chaos!)
Backstory/History: Ibirapitá had been thriving. A people of relative peace and prosperity, [worldians] expected that this senshi's cycle would, much like their prior others, only bring more prosperity. Dorian was awoken as a senshi as a chibi, training into his role as the Guardian of Ibirapitá, a post that the senshi had always been given. Dorian easily performed the task before him, protecting his people like taught with a charismatic edge that made him popular. As he settled into his adulthood, he reached out and established connections, began the work of pooling their planet more resources, and even dared to try and make alliances that could benefit them in times of strife were they ever to occur.
Well, so Ibirapitians thought.
The Silver Millenium fell, and so, too, did many of the connections that Dorian had made.
There was no one to help them when the worst came.
They were alone.
They looked to their Guardian for advice.
For him, his goal became simple. The threat was clearly and obviously an external one. Dorian's primary goal was to keep his people protected. His prior goals in life were forgotten. All he cared about was keeping his people safe.
Perhaps it was unfortunate that so much focus on protecting the world from anything coming into it meant that he lost sight of what had already taken root.
Those of them who were able to use their energy to attune and help plants bloom noticed that their ability seemed to have lost its impact. They could no longer help and the plants started to wilt. Crops began to die. The great trees that kept the planet covered in forest began to lose their leaves slowly, and then en masse until nearly every tree was dead. The animals that depended on those crops grew desperate. They started eating whatever they could until they could not anymore. The larger animals followed.
Ibirapitians were adaptable and they worked to live however they could. They became reliant on fungi, on long-fermented foods and drinks, on jerky, occasionally rotten, on the land itself. It was unsustainable.
He couldn't stop any of them from dying. He did everything he could. He poured his energy into the world so deeply he felt it drain him, and all the power he had earned from his young age began to sap away, too. His people died off until there were only hundreds. Dozens. Then, just his husband and himself.
Then, just himself.
He's lived by himself for an unbearably long time, lost by himself to the horrors of what Chaos had done to his world.
"When you are unable, I will be there on the other side. But it's not your time yet."
His husband's words kept telling him it wasn't his time.
And when he felt the pulse of Archideus, he knew he had to follow that energy. There was something alive. Perhaps it was a sign.
Perhaps it was why he was still alive.o5
