You're very well informed. I like that. BTW: Who is the girl in you're sig? She looks really well done. It comes from having way too much time on your hands and access to books and knowing where to find good websites <3
I have NO idea who drew the lineart, I found it in a chat room YEARS ago and recolored it to match an RP character I use occasionally. She's a Shaman who uses two guardian goddesses of nature, so the outfit fits her well. If I ever find out who drew it, I'll put credit up, naturally.
I made.... like five senshi that I use at the moment. I'll post their images and bios in a bit. <3 Just have to find it all and then I'll edit the post.
EDIT: Here they are... post'll be a bit long...
VILLAINS
Character Name: Peridot (Dark Senshi Peridot)
Character Alter-ego: Peri
Character Age: Appears 16, is quite a few centuries old, like most Youma
Character Sex: Female
Physical Description: At 4' 11", Peri stands insultingly shorter than everyone else in the Kingdom and keeps her flame red hair in a high slave-style ponytail to add precious inches to her height. Her eyes are white-green, a pale mimic of her gemstone. She always wears Roman-era style clothes, and her Dark Senshi fuku mimics ancient Gladiatorial armor.
Nationality: Neo Dark Kingdom
City: Neo Dark Kingdom
School: None
Powers: Heat energy (confused for fire frequently)
Training: Gladiatorial style fighting and 'fire dancing'
Class: Senshi
Race: Youma
Attacks: Feldspar's permission is required for all but the level 1 attack.
August Heat Wave: (Level 1, always available) A basic fire-ball attack for all intents and purposes. Composed of volcanic level heat, things combust/melt/boil as it passes, and it explodes when it hits something. Size, heat and speed depend on the current level of power she's allowed.
Beautiful Wall of Ash: (Level 2 and up) A whirlwind of volcanic ash that surrounds her and spins, that she can cause to spread or condense at her will. When the tornado ends the ash rains down as hot and scolding as real volcanic ash can be. Amount of ash and ferocity of the attack depend on how much power she's allowed.
Heavenly Flare of Dark Love: (Level 3 only) a wave of nearly solar heat that can turn sand to glass in an instant, and even water to steam. Yet never burns the men she loves. The power is enhanced for each of her lovers depending on their closeness to her (physically). Higher power means more intense heat, quicker spreading, and wider range.
Witch's Burning Blood Moon Wheel: A team attack with Jasper and Feldspar. The pain-force of Feld's "Punishment", confined to a circle drawn in Jaspar's blood, which burns with Peridot's intense heat. The three of them combining their power negates the requirements of a full moon.
Weapons: None
Background: Like most of the Dark Kingdom residents, Peridot and her companions were actually born on Earth, as normal Terran citizens. However, they were young children born during the very bloody fall of one of the empires that built up in the absence of the Silver Millenium. Wisked away just in time before their hometown was razed to the ground, the trio were never separated, and grew to depend on each other to the extent that Peridot is almost never away from her two like minded teammates. This is reflected by the control Peridot has relinquished to her 'lord', Feldspar. She is, more likely than not, just as powerful as Feldspar; if not more so than he is. However, she is content to be his bodyguard, and just as content to have Jasper as her 'knight'.
She has no desires for herself beyond keeping her teammates safe and happy, making her a difficult soldier to control beyond Feldspar's own reach, which explains her somewhat low ranking among the Dark Senshi. Aside from her temper she's usually an agreeable person, so long as no one threatens Feldspar...
Primary Weaknesses: Severely dislikes ice/cold water and will avoid contact with it at all costs for at least an immediate moment. Her temper is quick and the fuse is about as short as she is, especially if her height is mentioned or even alluded to. Without Jasper to play music or Feldspar to speak to her, she's a ticking timebomb. She's fairly powerful but her abilities are nearly literally kept 'under Feldspar's thumb', or more appropriately, by the ring of her stone on his hand.
Alignment: Dark/Evil
Character Name: (Dark Senshi) Zircon
Character Alter-ego: Nabikasu Kuria
Character Age: Appears 19, is slightly older than Alexandrite
Character Sex: Female
Physical Description: Long, elegant white hair that she is extremely vain of and keeps well brushed, eyes the color of lake ice, and skin so pale it looks almost dead. Her lips are a pale blue on occasion, but not because of lipstick, rather it is because of her blood running cold as ice. She wears cool colors like blue, white, and pale yellows, but she keeps a single article of gold coloring visible in her outfit at all times.
Nationality: Unknown
City: "Neo" Dark Kingdom
School: None
Powers: Negative-based Ice Element
Training: Class: Senshi (Dark)
Race: Youma
Attacks: Icy Kiss - Creates ice splinters that peirce skin and most fabric
Jeweled Tiara - Creates a sharp disk of ice that slices through flesh and fabric material
Warm Blizzard - Air becomes frosted and so cold that frostbite is inevitable within 2 minutes of skin exposure, water freezes instantly in the area of this attack
Weapons: None
Background: No one is sure where she comes from, and she doesn't talk about it to anyone, even those she actually gets along with. It's rumored she was a soldier of Mercury before the fall of the Silver Millenium. During the battle for the rule of the solar system, Mercury's heat shields were destroyed, causing the planet to quickly begin to heat to the point it was impossible to continue living. Being a vain and selfish person, she surrended herself to the enemy to escape the heated planet, since she despised heat. It was a smart move in the end, since the planet became uninhabitable shortly after.
Since she is older than Alexandrite, and considers herself to be better in every way that matters, at least to her, she became infuriated when the golden haired child was given the title of princess and has hated her ever since.
Primary Weaknesses: She has little to no loyalty to the Queen, only to Jacinth, and her jealousy is more than deep enough to bring about ideas of how to be rid of one and gain the other. Preening her ego and offering help with such ideas is the fastest way to get her to turn against her kingdom.
Alignment: Dark/Evil
Character Name: Queen Alexandrite
Character Alter-ego: Alexia Kintsuki, Dark Senshi Goldenmoon
Character Age: Approx. 2000 years old (born during the Silver Millenium), appears between 18-19 years old
Character Sex: Female
Physical Description: Long golden hair, with a style similar to Kunzite's, but more feminate. Her eyes waver between her father's shade of blue and a deeper, warmer color; the color is mostly dependant on her mood or environment, as most blue or grey eyes are known to do. Her gown as Queen is always black, with a loose fabric that neither clings or billows. When hiding as a human, she wears things that both blend into the culture and stand out against whoever she accompanies.
Her seifuku is black based, as all Dark Senshi are, with a royal violet bow, skirt, and collar. Her boots are ankle high and black leather. Her choker has a small crystal heart hanging from it, the same crystal heart that hangs on a silver chain when she is in regular clothes.
Nationality: Unknown
City: Neo Dark Kingdom
School: None
Powers: Mimicry through crystal's energy absorption
Training: Trained by the Shitennou when young, mostly learned fighting techniques from Kunzite
Class: Senshi
Race: Youma
Attacks: Usually used only when disguised as Dark Senshi:
Chaotic Capture Crystals - Just what they sound like. These crystals have the properties to temporarily copy and twist around any energy attack thrown at her, she can permanently learn it, but she has to survive a full blow of it, so it's not worth it for the stronger stuff. The attack thrown out has a name based off what it originally was. If it has no name, she merely shouts: "Chaotic Release!"
Crystal Burst - Small to medium (about the size of a dagger) sized crystals that are not only sharp, but contain dark energy that causes them to explode in a painful... burst. Shards from what is left of the crystal are usually acompanied with the blast.
Elemental Burst - The same as Crystal Burst, except that the crystal is charged with whatever element she's recently been able to 'steal' with her Chaotic Capture.
Crystal Cage - Long shards of extremely sharp crystal fire in a circle meant to ensnare the target in a makeshift trap. With a triggersnap, the crystals can shatter, resulting in multiple finite shards that cut at the victim from every angle.
Weapons: Crystal Staff
Background: Her birth origin is a secret to all but those who were directly involved. Kunzite and Minako's love affair was brief, but as the old adage says, it only takes once... Rather than face the dishonor of losing her position as the Soldier of Venus, Venus-hime gave her baby girl to Kunzite to raise on Earth, in relative peace. Of course, three years later the war broke out and Chaos in the form of Metalia and Beryl corrupted Kunzite and his fellow general-kings, taking the baby girl with them.
The environment of war was impossible to keep a child alive in, but rather than let the girl become a casualty of war, Metallia forced her body to grow over a few months to that of a teenager. During those months, the child made a royal pain of herself, kicking shins and screaming like a banesidhe. The pain of her growth was driving her insane and she used her behavior as a way to cope by making others suffer as badly as she had. Because of the hidden power the girl harbored, that began to manifest itself in more and more destructive ways as she grew older, she was named to be the heir apparent.
Before the invasion of the White Moon palace, a visitor came to Beryl from the distant future, toting along with him a boy about Alexandrite's age with streaked hair. The girl took an immediate dislike to the Prince, but his nephew became her instant playmate and remained even after the rest of his family went back to their own time to attempt to dethrone the White Moon of Crystal Tokyo.
Mere weeks before the planned attack on the White Moon, legends were unearthed that told of horrific outcomes to the war. Those who were already jealous of the younger girl's power and privileges blamed her presence for those stories and pressured Beryl to keep her and any other young warriors out of the battle. Not one to listen to her elders, Alexandrite ruined her golden locks with a blade and a healthy dose of filth and hid among the warriors who directly attacked the Moon Palace itself.
Her witnessing of the senseless violence and deaths, while their "benevolent" queen stood back under the protective veil of Metallia's power, knowing that her effianced lover was among the warriors that were dying by the hundreds, made Alexandrite even more concerned. Unable to stand it any longer, the disguised princess stormed through the bodyshield of guards around Beryl, challenging the woman to stop her pointless war and admit there would be no victor so long as the senshi had reason to fight to the death. Her only reward for her ideals was to be destroyed not to her face, but from behind as she went off to convince the other warriors to retreat.
After being reborn in a hellish dimension, Alexandrite waited in the shadows of the ruined palace that had once been part of the Earth Kingdom. She glared in silent anger as Beryl imediately went on her previous path, watching as her father and his generals were sent one by one to die. She hid herself and those who had grown up waiting for the senshi to be reborn on Earth, keeping them safely tucked away when the senshi attacked their realm and destroyed what was left of Beryl's loyal army. And when it was Beryl's turn to die, Alexandrite looked on from her hiding place without compassion as the Moon Princess utterly destroyed the Red Queen and sealed Metallia away...
Primary Weaknesses: As with all youma, she has a strong aversion to the purifying light of the ginzuishou, or rather, anything holy in nature. She has a short fuse on her temper and will quickly strike out if provoked, usually more verbally than physically, however. She rarely strikes in anger unless she wants to do as much harm as possible.
Alignment: Dark/Evil
NEUTRAL
Character Name: Kagenmi Aijou
Character Alter-ego: Jewel
Character Age: 14
Character Sex: Female
Physical Description: Shoulder length dark green-blue hair, with an occasional silver hair giving a shine to her locks, and light violet eyes belying her bloodline heritage to any who know Demando's face well. She has a sweet, rounded face that makes her look more like a 10 year old than a middle school student, a fact that usually puts a sour expression on it. She likes to wear as many colors as possible in one outfit, even if they clash a bit.
Her senshi fuku has a silver base and black skirt, collar, and bow.
Nationality: Neo Dark Kingdom
City: Juuban, Tokyo
School: Juuban Junior High
Powers: Negative energy
Training: Class: Senshi
Race: Youma-Nemesian hybrid
Attacks: (I haven't had a chance to use her in battle, so she has no named attacks yet)
Weapons: Crystal Scythe
Background: Daughter of Alexandrite and Jacinth, she was born before Beryl died and was hidden on Earth to keep her safe from Metallia's influence. She knows she is a youma, but has grown to prefer living as a human girl, so although she is a citizen of the Dark Kingdom, she lives in neutrality on Earth and has been given amnesty from battles she does not wish to enter. She's also entitled to befriend humans and even possible senshi, so long as she does not bring harm to youma or their allies.
She also is aware that youma are not permitted to harm her under what could amount to a penalty of death, though she has not abused that privilege... yet.
Primary Weaknesses: Innocent and naive about many things, including death and war.
Alignment: Neutral
HERO
Character Name: Matsumoto Sasumi
Character Alter-ego: Sailor Despina
Character Age: 15
Character Sex: Female
Physical Description: She has messy locks of violet hair that are cut too short to pull back away from her face on purpose, so she can hide behind her bangs. Her sea-green eyes and pale skin are a stark contrast to the violet hair, which she hates. She looks nothing like either of her birth parents, who have dark hair and tanned skin. She wears the Mugen red and green uniform all day on schooldays, and simple pastel dresses when she is not at school.
Nationality: Grecian-Japanese
City: Tokyo, Minato-ku
School: Mugen Gakuen
Powers: Water Manipulation, like most Neptunians
Training: Self-taught in piano music and composition, warrior training was given on the Despina moon during the Silver Millenium
Class: Senshi
Race: Human
Attacks: Tsunami Spray - An attack made up of pressurized water that sends a vertical spray of near solid water balls towards the opponent.
Omni Water - Summons a water beam which can take multiple forms, I.E. A cork screw spike, a straight beam, and through extreme pressure, a spear, a circular wall of water (light shielding), etc.
Weapons: None
Background: Born as the guardian of Despina, one of the lesser protectors of Neptune. She took her job
very seriously, and when there was a failure, she accepted all blame. She was, however, a very accomplished musician who composed many songs, not only for herself to play, but for Neptune-hime. When the Outer system failed to stop Beryl and Metallia's invasion, she also took all blame for that, and committed suicide as her own personal redemption, throwing herself off a cliff into the tides of Neptune's oceans.
As Sasumi, she is still an accomplished musician, accepted to the newly rebuilt Mugen Gakuen's music program. She is a shadow of her former noble self, however, with the horrific failures of her past still haunting her dreams.
Primary Weaknesses: Shy and cowardly about battle unless the senshi seriously need her help. She's constantly sure she'll never be worthy of guarding 'Neptune-hime'. She refuses to accept any sort of praise for anything she does.
Alignment: Good
