Attacks: Sailor Scout Attack: Blossoming Order!
Tianyi speaks the name of his attack, and in an eight-foot radius around him, a field of kerria flowers blooms. Those within the radius feel inclined to obey his words as they would a royal command, though this inclination can be overcome, particularly if the target is higher ranked than Tianyi or the order would cause the target to act against their nature or cause themself serious harm. Tianyi can use this magic three times per battle, and the spell lasts for 25 seconds.
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Blossoming Decree!
Tianyi speaks the name of his attack, and in an eight-foot radius around him, a field of kerria flowers blooms. Those within the radius feel inclined to obey his words as they would a royal command, though this inclination can be overcome, particularly if the target is higher ranked than Tianyi or the order would cause the target to act against their nature or cause themself serious harm. At this stage, resisting Tianyi’s orders will cause the target to feel as if a heavy, painful weight is bearing down on them, like a physical manifestation of imperial will. Tianyi can use this magic twice per battle, and the spell lasts for 30 seconds.
Eternal Sailor Attack: Blooming Prosperity Rain!
Tianyi speaks the name of his attack and spreads his arms wide. In a15-foot radius around him, kerria petals begin to rain from the sky. These petals strike enemies within the radius with the force of falling coins, causing the sensation of pain for the duration of the attack with lingering bruising at player discretion. The rain lasts for 40 seconds, and Tianyi can cast this spell once per battle.
Deep Space Senshi: Physical Features: The people of Tianyi were, on the whole, fair and delicate; generally, they tended towards being on the shorter side. Tianyians had sheeplike ears in pastel colors, long tufted tails, and sometimes horns. Their skin, eyes, and hair was usually in soft pastel shades. Some also possessed small, pastel feathered wings on their shoulders.
Adopt ref; getting a genderswap and moving/shrinking the wings!
Backstory/History: The planet of Tianyi presented itself and its ruling class as gentle guides to a small trade empire of surrounding planets that simply allowed Tianyi to rule over them because the rulers of Tianyi were benevolent, enlightened, and had the good of others in mind. Any insistence that they were some kind of oppressing force was simply silly—after all, Tianyi people were generally quite opposed to violence!
All of that was, to some degree, true—though it masked the fact that Tianyi used soft power, uneven trade agreements, and shady diplomacy to bring planets under its sway.
As far as Yìng Xiùlán, youngest child of the royal family of Tianyi, was aware, his planet was a paradise. He was Awakened as the Senshi at age seven, and though he didn’t understand why that required his twin to disappear into the shadows and no longer attend public events, he
did know that it made him
special. More special than he already was by virtue of his birth. The planet was happy, the people loved him and his family, and all was well.
As far as Xiùlán knew.
The truth was that on the day Xiu and his twin were born, there was an eclipse. An eclipse that simply did not end. Worse, Tianyi found that it was cut off from the wider universe—ships encountered strange electromagnetic storms that sent them crashing to the ground, messages couldn’t leave, signals couldn’t be received. This led to whispers that the youngest Imperial child was cursed, whispers that got louder when he was chosen as the Senshi. Surely there must be something deeply wrong, for the birth of the
Senshi to have heralded such a terrible decline.
While the wealthy of Tianyi scrambled to pretend that nothing was wrong, everything was fine, and it was simply a strange atmospheric phenomena that had turned the planet into one of eternal night, with no light from its star, Chaos infection began to poison the planet. Much of the world was dying, and the vast majority of the people living on it were stricken by poverty. Disease moved through the lower classes, and the divide between rich and poor was vast. There was essentially no middle class; you were either nobility, or you were in desperate, grinding poverty. This state of affairs was exacerbated by the lavishness of the upper class, funneling money and resources that could have helped the poor into parties and banquets and a thousand other fripperies to maintain the illusion of prosperity.
The first rumblings of revolution came when Xiùlán was fourteen, and his family threw a lavish party to celebrate his birthday and ascent to full Senshidom while a famine rippled through the peasant farms that supplied the capitol. While the capitol spent a week blanketed in flowers and the wealthy lavished in rich food and parties, the poor scrabbled, and there was nearly an armed uprising. It was quashed, brutally, by Tianyi’s army—the commitment to nonviolence and soft power having been thrown aside as things became increasingly desperate—but that didn’t completely put out the fires, just delayed it a while.
It was seven years later, on Xiu’s twenty-first birthday, that things finally shattered.
Once again, the royal family planned a lavish celebration for their youngest. Once again, people were starving. And once again, anger rose. This time, though, it could not be contained—and worse, soldiers that had previously put down rebellions turned on their officers, joining the violent mob.
The mob made its way to the palace, and it was clear that the guards would be overwhelmed. It was then that Xiu’s twin revealed the purpose of his disappearance from public life: it was his duty to serve as a body double for his brother, and in this moment, he took it on. Xiùlán was dressed in rags and spirited away, while his twin donned imperial regalia and took his place.
Xiu’s twin was executed a week later, along with the rest of their family.
By that time, Xiu himself was on the run, but he was hardly capable of taking care of himself. Alone, at the mercy of the people who helped him escape from the palace, and frightened, he slipped away late one night.
He wandered for days, trying desperately to sustain himself, hoping to find some loyalist enclave that he could hide with—one that was safer than the first.
Instead, he followed a stream—the first clear, clean water he had seen since he escaped—to the base of an ancient tree. Xiu curled up in its roots, and fell asleep, and as he slept, his world closed off the little glade, creating a protected place for the Senshi to sleep in stasis.
Until a light from the far edges of the universe pierced the canopy of trees, and called Tianyi to Earth.
