[X] A former adviser of Queen Serenity, and now you must manage of the latest generation of Sailor Senshi.
[X]Rumors are just rumors, each world might have some native magic but nothing on the level of the sailors.
 
That's... hmm. Didn't think of that. One one hand, that's Bad, capital B. On the other, plot! As well as the fact that that's a fairly accurate description of her, or at least, her origins. What I had in mind was that due to the influence of family and our resident genderbent space jesus, what should have been a pale imitation, incapable of anything but destroying the works of her original and without worth in it's own right, nothing more than a sockpuppet of Chaos, learns to live, to laugh, to love, to be human. But for all that, as you might have gathered from the personality description, she still has to struggle with her own dark side, which propably forms the basis of an altered Queen Nehelennia arc.

That said, if you have suggestions on how to reword the vote in a way that keeps the original idea and it's plot potential while preventing unfortunate implications, I'm all ears. If not, I think I'll stick with what I have.

As well, could I possibly convince you to keep the vote open just a while longer so people can see my write-in? Nine hours isn't a whole lot for that, especially when it's at a time of day where most of Spacebattles is sleeping.


I also have to say, a powerset that deals with madness in a world where there's witches/demons has fun potential which hadn't even occured to me until now.
If I may ask, how far are you going to unify the cosmology here? Youma (or at least the possibly-fanon interpretation I'm familiar with) are fairly similar to PMMM-style Demons and Familiars, in addition to what has already been pointed out. If you want, I could link you to an old post of mine that theorizes on how one could merge PMMM with other settings such as Black Rock Shooter and the Persona series. Beyond that, if you want any of my thoughts on this topic, independent of wether my write-in wins or not, feel free to ask, as it's a topic I'm quite interested in.

I don't have any ideas that would help in rewriting the vote. Some parts of the cosmology are going to be unified and some parts are just going to run parallel and other parts are going to be mashed up. If I recall correctly in canon Youma are akin to golems of dark magic so fairly similar to Familiars but also not the same. I would be quite interested to hear your ideas on the persona side (it is unlikely to come up in the quest however).

Because the votes are tied (again) I'll keep it open until later today.

If I recall the exact nature of Youma was... never entirely made clear, and it also tended to depend on the manga vs the original anime, in the manga they did seem to be pretty much just some kind of magic golem like creature and there weren't very many of them as where in the anime they seemed closer to their own entities.
 
Due to the ongoing deadlock, I'm going to just use QM power to break the tie and go with:

[] A former adviser of Queen Serenity, and now you must manage of the latest generation of Sailor Senshi.
Votes: 4
[] There are countless ways in which power is born, all of these things and so much more exist.
Votes: 6

Any objections or last second changes? If not next post should be up sometime tomorrow.
 
I, in fact, have an objection.

I don't believe that most of the voters have quite thought through what being an adviser is going to be like. SV really likes being involved in the action, I don't think their going to enjoy sitting on the sidelines as much as they think they will.

Then again, I could be wrong.
 
If Luna is an Ancient Belkan Mage with a Stand and maybe some connection or knowledge of the incubators, then she doesn't have to sit on the sidelines.

But if this is a compromise can we have all the proposed Senshi -- Sailor Mau, Sailor Ganymede , Sailor Dark Moon, Sailor Arcturus, and Sailor Sadalsuud as new recruits?

Two things.

First Luna isn't going to have all of those things at once, at least not to start off with, and yes unless there is a large player demand she isn't going to sit on the sidelines.

Second I will be using parts and pieces of most of the submitted characters, there will be an Iseult, a dark version of Moon, and maybe a vampire.

Being a Sailor of Mau is still on the table for Luna.

I'm fairly sure the Silver Milennium is closer to Alhazred than Ancient Belka, aynways.

Maybe we could assume something of a command role, suggesting battle tactics and things the Senshi should focus their training on.

Might have a point with Al-Hazred except we know nothing about their magic and the Nanoha timeline is almost as vague as the Sailor Moon timeline. Like did the saint wars end only eighty or so years before the start of the series or hundreds of years.

That's a possibility.

You could always draw on worldbuilding from Aleph's and Earthscorpion's Gamesverse.

That sounds very Good! And Imaginative!

1. Fall of the Moon and a New Beginning.
You are Luna trusted friend and adviser to Queen Serenity. The Silver Millennium of the Moon kingdom is ending, an army of Humans seduced by a dark power and Youma have invaded seeking to take the power of the Silver Crystal, the sacred treasure of the royal family. The monstrous army rampages through the royal palace as you run deeper towards the inner sanctum.

'This can't be happening. I can not let this happen. I have to protect the Queen, if I can buy her even a few minutes she can save everything. Even if I fight and die. '

You shift into your feline form to slip through the chaos and destruction in a mad rush to get to the Queen and the Princess Serenity. One by one you pass the bodies of your friends in the court, the knights of the kingdom, and ultimately Princess Serenity's four guardians the young Sailors Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus. When, an anguished cry echoes through the halls.

"ENDYMI-" the scream, Princess Serenity's scream, is suddenly cut short.

You keep running desperately forcing back tears from your eyes. At last you make it to the Chamber of Prayer, the doors are already blasted open and the air is charged with the echos of magic. You are too late, Queen Serenity is slumped against the central crystal, one arm held tight against her chest where an ever growing stream of red stains her once immaculate white dress. In front of her lies the still form of another woman, the self proclaimed Queen of the Dark Kingdom Beryl. Off to the side is Artemis your fellow adviser lying in a crater in the wall, his survival only revealed by the short and shallow rising of his chest. Serenity manages to lift her head enough to look at you as a small, sad smile graces her lips.

"Luna, my old friend I'm not long for this world. I can't vanquish this evil or return everyone to life, I only have enough power to seal it away and send everyone to be reborn in a more peaceful time."

She forces herself to stand as she raises the Silver Crystal. "I know, I can entrust you and Artemis with looking after Serenity and the Sailors."

You have enough time to nod as tears flow down your face and the magic of the Crystal washes over the entire castle, and you know nothing more.


And then you awaken, the shell of magic that had protected you in your slumber fades away, revealing the cold stone floor of a cave. [COLOR= Transparent]There is a note nearby, maybe a month or two old.[/COLOR]

A ray of sunlight and breath of wind from the mouth of the cave catches your attention. Outside you see a city of steel and glass towers sitting along a bay. Even from this distance it is clear that it is bustling with life. After a few deep breaths to calm yourself you begin to formulate a plan.

' Alright, I just need to find the Princess, and find the Sailors, and raise an army to fight the dark kingdom, and find a better base of operations than a wet hole in the ground.'

What First?
[] Look for the Princess.
-[] She should be a girl of pure heart
-[] If she is anything like her mother then she should have great magical potential.
-[] You Will know when you find her.

[] Look for one of the Sailors.
-[] Someone with great intelligence would be a logical candidate.
-[] A girl with a connection with the spirits would be likely.
-[] A fighter strong in heart and body would fit the role quite well.
-[] A kind soul would fulfill many of the roles of a Sailor.

[] Look for someone else. Most of the members of the Lunar Court and Knights possessed great skills. They might be helpful.

[] Look for a place to establish a base of operations.

[] Make sure your magic still works. [COLOR= Transparent] This can be taken with any of the looking actions. [/COLOR]


How do you fight?
[] An Armed Device
- [] (Write in what it resembles)
[] A Stand
-[] The Lion
-[] Alley Cats
-[] What's New
-[] Eye Of The Tiger
-[] Fortitude
[] The magic of the Mau, Space manipulation.
[] A normal weapon, at very high skill.
-[] (Write in what kind)
[] A martial art that uses the power of life.

I think I may have read too many Ranma 1/2 x Sailor Moon Crossovers, as I am totally using that as both a build for Luna and vaguely hoping Ranma will have been a member of the court or a knight in his past life. I know it probably won't be, but I can hope! Plus, Neko-ken shenanigans should be funny.

Ranma actually is on the list of possible knights, but it is a long list with options ranging from Misumi Nagisa to Tenjou Utena to Miki Sayaka to Inubozaki Fu and a lot of options in between.
Also the Martial art option isn't Neko-Ken just saying that.
 
I figured it wasn't, but I was imagining Ranma's reaction. I would totally like Utena or Ranma as knights - both are awesome fighters who could do with some better circumstances.

What is this note that people are voting to read?

One thing you should keep in mind is that according to the manga 'Metallia is in the Sun!'

[] Look for the Princess.
-[] If she is anything like her mother then she should have great magical potential.

Much as it would be entertaining to mistake a different MG for the princess...

[X] Look for one of the Sailors.
-[X] A fighter strong in heart and body would fit the role quite well.

... Let's go meet an OC! Or Ranma, come to think of it.

How do you fight?
[X] An Armed Device
- [X] An Axe that is disguised as a giant lollipop

What can I say; I like the idea of Luna as a Mage, but I like the design of 'Sailor Luna'!

[] A Stand
-[] The Lion
-[] Alley Cats
-[] What's New
-[] Eye Of The Tiger
-[] Fortitude
[] The magic of the Mau, Space manipulation.
[] A normal weapon, at very high skill.
-[] (Write in what kind)
[] A martial art that uses the power of life.

So tempted to X multiple boxes!
