STAR GUIDE: INFORMATION The Constellation Senshi fuku is comprised of three main colors: white, gold, and your individual color. For example, Sailorborealis uses BODICE: The Constellation Senshi fuku is a two pieced number, stemming almost from Sailor V's costume if it can be compared to any of the manga senshi's fuku. The base of it is white, close cut to the skin, and only comes down to right below the chest area, banded with gold. It's sleeveless, with three sheer blue shoulder guards like Supersailormoon. The brooch is a golden five pointed star with your symbol in the center in your individual color. The shoulder flaps are your individual color with one golden stripe down the side. *CONSTELLATION KNIGHT UNIFORM* No guys, we're not going to make you wear a skirt. Also, each knight MUST have a weapon/weapons. No two can be the same, but someone can have a different style of sword/swords. Also, instead of WHITE, an individual color, and GOLD, their colors are BLACK, an individual color, and SILVER. *EXTRA STUFF* Something that Sailorvrigo (our resident Japanese expert...domo arigato Mel-chan!) brought up is that the manga senshi have dresses and outfits as the royality of their respective kingdoms. You can design one if you wish, but I think it'd be coolies!!!! *POWERS* Your transformation phrase MUST be *(Constellation Name) Constellation Power Make-Up!* (the guys can omit the "Make-Up" line, replaced with "Armor-Up!" or another neat phrase) You get TWO attacks to start out with. Your henshin MUST incorporate their constellation OR their realm of power. *PERSONAL HISTORY* UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL YOU USE A CHARACTER FROM SAILORMOON, OR ANY OTHER ANIME/MANGA. THIS IS AN ORIGINAL SERIES. IF YOU DO, PHOEBE, MY ATTACKING HOUSECAT WILL EAT YOUR TOES! Even though it is set just outside of Tokyo, this does not involve the other characters. Right, no Usagi, no Mamoru, no nothing. 1. Spell check it! I WILL NOT ACCEPT PROFILES WITH MAJOR MISPELLINGS! You don't want a crazy RPG organizer do you? Want an example? Check it out!
*CONSTELLATIONS AVALIABLE*
Currently, the only six taken are Corona Borealis, Virgo, Leo, Phoenix, Draco, and Cygnus.
Go to the Risen Constellation page to see the whole list of senshi, knights, colors, and realms of power.
*THE CONSTELLATION SENSHI FUKU*
SKIRT: The Constellation senshi skirt is designed just like the Inner and Outer senshi's skirt, but has a gold stripe underneath the v-ed waistline of the skirt. At the waistline is a golden star charm (the point thingy). The skirt itself is in your individual color with a gold stripe around the hemline of it. It is normally pleated, but I can't draw pleats very well, so mine appears unpleated most of the time.
SHOES: This is where you get to have fun. The shoes can be anything, but must have a two-combo out of the three colors on it, or be all your individual color. For example, Sailorborealis has high heeled blue boots trimmed in gold around the ankles and knees, styled like Eternalsailormoon.
TIARA: This comes the interesting part. We don't have traditional tiaras. Ours is a golden star on our forehead with our symbol in the center. No connecting thingy, just the star.
CHOKER: A band in your individual color with a golden star charm in the center.
GLOVES: They come up as far as the Inner Senshi's do, but are gauntlet styled (no fingers), rimmed in their individual color around the pointed hand guard and bands.
HENSHIN ITEM: Here comes the fun part: you get to make up your own item! For example, Sailorborealis doesn't have a strict henshin item, she has a "chibi-jitte" necklace that replicates into her Niji no Jitte, or Rainbow Jitte.
Now of course not everyone will have the same uniform. There will be small differences (i.e. Sailorleo's claw gloves and Sailordraco's wings and jade skin tone) here and there, but the closer it is to the norm, the more likely you'll be accepted.
JACKET: The jacket is a long-sleeved military styled jacket in their individual color, trimmed in silver piping around the collar and sleeves. Silver armor plates styled like epulettes extend out, sometimes with an individual color's design on the tops. Silver buttons go down the front, with the symbol of their constellation engraved in the top one in their individual color. Black straps criss-cross across their chest, back to the silver-and-black scabbard where their weapon is held.
PANTS: They're slightly snug black trousers piped in silver down the sides that have a belt encircling their middle in their individual color. The belt buckle is a silver star with their symbol engraved in the center.
SHOES: No no, no high heels! Their boots are calf-high black shiny boots with a armored-knee guard in silver. The boots can have a trim of their individual color (by all means, that would look nifty!)
TIARA: Nope boyos, no purty tiara for you. Yet again, it's a silver star with your symbol in the individual color in the center.
GLOVES: Gauntlet-styled gloves with no fingers (they only reach your wrists) in your individual color, trimmed in silver.
Each of the Constellation senshi derive their powers from a different source. Some of the constellations, it's a no-brainer to what their "realm of power" is. (Libra=balance, Draco=dragon, etc.) But some, like "Corona Borealis" or "Triangulum", you have to work at. Realms cannot be repeated, but someone else can deal with a seperate aspect of light.
Yet again, the more creative you get, the better chance you have of getting accepted. That creativity has to be relevant!!! If you need any help, e-mail me at CloudNineStar@aol.com and I'll be glad to help!
AMERICAN EXCHANGE STUDENTS WILL BE FROWNED UPON!
TRY TO KEEP YOUR CHARACTER AT LEAST PART JAPANESE!!!!!!
Yes, characters that are half-Japanese are allowed, such as Hageshii Miko, aka Sailorphoenix. Miko-chan is half-Indian (as in from India), and half-Japanese. Tamanisha Simbake is actually Japanese, just raised by Africans since her late parents were missionaries.
Where can you find Japanese names??
Baby Names And Meanings Of Names - This place is where I found a bunch of my names.
Online English to Japanese Dictionary - This is a VERY VERY handy dandy site that is even better than my own personal dictionary!!!
Handy Dandy Japanese-English Dictionary- Great thing in life! Score used bookstores for cheap ones.
E-mailing me- I have said Japanese English dictionary (I found it at a used bookstore for fifty cents ^-^;;) and can create you a name if you tell me what you want it to mean. AND I also got another via my wonderful, sweet, kind, generous boyfriend!
THE SCHOOLS:
Sakura Niwano Junior/Senior High School (Cherry Blossom Garden High for all you non-Japanese speakers.): This is the school most of the senshi and knights attend, which is your run of the mill high school. The uniform is a maroon skirt/pants, white button up style shirt, maroon vest, necktie, and blazer-style jacket. The girls have to wear knee-socks and black shoes along with it.
SENSHI/KNIGHTS IN ATTENDANCE: Corona Borealis/Taiyo Asako, Virgo/Einzoni Yuroko, Leo/Tamanisha Simbake, and Draco/Musha Ryusha (even though it's doubtful Ryusha attends many classes)
Firebird Academy: This is a prestigious boarding school just outside of Tokyo that is run by a convent of nuns. It's a girls only school, so there's only the female variant of the uniform. The uniform is is a short maroon skirt with two mustard yellow buttons on the side, white blouse, maroon vest with mustard yellow buttons, thigh-high argyle socks, and a maroon blazer with an intricate design reading "F A," for Firebird Academy.
SENSHI IN ATTENDANCE: Phoenix/Hageshii Miko (even though she sneaks over to Sakura Niwano for P.E.)
More to come as more senshi/knights come in. If you create a school, make sure you put the stats (i.e. concentration, school uniform, etc.) in your application.
GUARDIANS:
I'm putting a cap on seven guardians (NOT INCLUDING PHOEBE), mostly cats but they can differ. Currently there are four. Name them mainly after Greek Gods/Goddesses, or a name that you think works well with your powers or the personality of your guardian. Each either have a silver or a golden star on their foreheads.
Phoebe is a silver tabby, midnight eyed female cat who watches over all the senshi. She's quite sweet and rather shy, but will take a quick swipe at you if you're not listening. She lives with Yuroko and Asako right now, but she house-hops trying to find senshi.
Iris is a half-grown blue tortishell, jade green eyed female cat who guards over the Otome no Inochi, or Maidens of Life (Corona Borealis and Virgo). She has the personality of a normal teenage girl, aka too perky for her own good on occasion.
Hewa is a golden lioness cub with big blue eyes who guards over Tamanisha Simbake, or Sailor Leo. She is a sassy little cub but loves Tama-chan with all of her heart.
Hades is a dark green anole (lizard) with a flame pattern on his belly who guards over Musha Ryusha, or Sailordraco. He's got as much of an attitude as Ryusha-chan, but is very dedicated to his task at hand: making Ryusha fight for good.
Aurora is a pure white swan with a golden star on his forehead who takes on the task of guarding Suwan Denseru, or Sailorcygnus.
KUROHOSHI: Fallen Senshi
They don't have any very strict rules, just these couple.
1- Chiaki, Chinatsu, and Leiko are girls. Yuiko, Chiharu, and Chifuyu are boys.
2- The submission story requirement stands for these guys too. One-page please!
3- The fuku is where you have fun. Each has a black star on their forehead! Keep it that way!
4- Yuroko, our resident expert on bad guys, put an interesting idea in. If possible, see if you can make your power in Japanese, such as Arashi no Kinpaku. (Golden Leaf Storm)
5- Guess what? Not only do you get to design your fuku, you get to design your quarters on the Kurohoshi! Make it reflect your season or power.
6- A quickie explination of ki chikara is in order! Okay, there's three type of ki chikara. There's seion no ki, joufu no ki, and yuushi no ki.
Seion no Ki (Translated to "Serene Spirit") is the run-of-the-mill spirit energy residing within a normal person. It's kind of potent, and comes out of the person in a softball sized ball of yellow-twinged energy.
Joufu no Ki (Translated to "Warrior Spirit") is the energy found in an extremely talented or brave individual and is roughly twice as powerful as seion no ki. This energy comes out of the person's body in a shifting ball of energy slightly larger than seion no ki, the energy itself brighter golden than the other.
Yuushi no Ki (Translated to "Brave Warrior Spirit") is the highest rung of the energy ladder, this coming strictly from senshi. It's the strongest ki chikara of the lot, and is the most treasured among the Kurohoshi. It comes in the form of a urn-like container with the senshi's symbol engraved on the front, and the energy the same color as the senshi's individual color.
SUBMISSION STORY GUIDELINES
I got a wonderful idea from visiting Missing Shard RPG (which is a purely kick-butt RPG!). Pixle-chan, their creator, has come up with an outline for the submission stories!
CONSTELLATION SENSHI/KNIGHTS SUBMISSION STORY:
OPTION ONE: Constellation senshi are the royal descendants of their constellation OR a worthy citizen back in the days of the Council of Senshi. Your character has a dream (present day) where they see snatches of their previous life. Such visions could be a ball where you meet another senshi, doing your character's favorite activity, or just royal court. The next vision sends your sleeping senshi/knight at rest into a cold sweat. They witness snatches of the Kurohoshi attack, seeing the kingdom dissapear. The last thing they hear is their challenge phrase borne on the wind. They shoot up awake, scared out of their wits. They realize it's only a dream, then resume sleeping. But, unknown to them, their symbol begins glowing...or something like that! A prime example of this version is Denseru's story.
OPTION TWO: Ah, the good ol' "A Day In The Life Of..." approach! It really does work...I've had two awesome submissions so far using this technique.
OPTION THREE: I've added this one because I, quite frankly, think it's a good idea. Give me a DETAILED history of your senshi's family from the past and HOW they became the senshi we all know and love today!!
KUROHOSHI/DARKSTAR SUBMISSION STORY
OPTION ONE: This idea stems from the first ever story I got for a Kurohoshi minion. Your character (except for Leiko and Yuiko) is fighting in the final battle for Estrella. The dark star appears to them, offering the chance to save their world from destruction. They accept with hesitation or get knocked into submission by the Lord and Lady (faceless shadows as of yet). They then wake up not in their original fuku, enclosed in a bubble in a pool of funky liquid. They burst the bubble, swimming upward to the durface. They become concious of a hunger burning deep inside of them, the hunger for ki chikara.
OPTION TWO: Need I repeat myself? You got it, "A Day In The Life Of..."! It's a grand approach!!!
