The Silver Millennium the era of Serenity, she who transcended the stars and wrought wonders confined only by her will. A time of majesty and magic, where life flourished upon each of the heavenly spheres. A time where all were whole of body and spirit. A time untouched by the nightmare of the end.
All such things were consumed by chaos.
With a single act of mad jealousy, the world was turned upside down and the heavens shattered. The black soul of the Sun was unleashed and drove all life into an endless torment of madness and death. Upon that act, a kingdom of darkness was posed to rule in eternal damnation.
Yet, the light of hope remained. With her final act, Queen Serenity sundered destiny and sent forth all who fell far into the future where what was once fated to fall may still be saved.
And lo, the time has come, the ancient grudge stirs once more and the stars have been reborn. The weight of destiny weighs heavily upon the shoulders of the Sailor Senshi but who shall take the first step...

You have long since gotten used to the stares people shoot your way, the looks filled with baseless contempt. At times it feels as if you've developed a sixth sense for them, no matter how far away you always felt the sting of hatred other students would direct at you. All of them were ultimately fleeting pains that you could endure, but today a different gaze had turned your way.
The day had begun just like any other with one of the few moments of true solitude you had, the long and quiet from house to father's academy. A roundabout way through a number of alleyways and side streets took longer but allowed you to avoid the attention of what few of your fellow students that lived nearby. But then you felt it, someone was watching you. Even though the only other living thing you could see was a black cat, the thought of your hidden path becoming yet another place of torment is enough to drive you to run until your legs burn with even greater pain than usual.
The second time happens in the middle of a class and it stands out from the usual tide of looks tinged with something no one had ever looked at you with before. At the same time, it feels as if the person is right beside you and incredibly distant. Out of the corner of your eye, you catch a blue sphere fade away on the opposite side of the window that you sit next to. And then you see her. A woman standing on the opposite side of the bridge leading to the school, despite the distance she stands out with a sort of austere and unearthly beauty about her dark hair and pale skin. For just an instant her crimson eyes meet your own and you finally realize that she looks at you, not with any of the innumerable forms of hate but rather a paradoxical mix of fear and hope. But then the moment passes and she turns away walking back into the city down the same road you take to go home.
The day goes on but can't shake the feeling that whoever that was is going to be waiting for you. You could have begged a ride from one of father's assistants but turning to them is just asking for more of their cruel comments. So you take the usual way back home. As you turn onto a deserted sidestreet the same black cat from this morning stands in your way, now that you aren't running in a panic you notice a golden crescent moon on its forehead and the gleam of intelligence in its crimson eyes. And then, space ripples before your eyes and the woman then stands before you.
"I am Luna, and I have been searching for you, Hotaru Tomoe." She pauses as if to steel herself. "I was hoping to find someone else but the times are dark and the world needs you."
What do you do
[] Run away from the crazy cat-woman-thing.
[] Cling desperately to the first source of positive attention you've gotten in years.
[] Ask Luna some questions.

It's unusual, her voice is devoid of all the guile that tinged those bullies who pretended to be your friends only to turn around and humiliate you. She actually wants you, she actually needs you. No one has ever placed their trust in you before, and so a singular resolve fills you. You don't want to let her down and disappoint her.
"I'll help you in any way I can, but I'm not good at anything really…" You trail off, as doubts and reality overtake you at the last moment.
Yet, Luna's stern composure cracks with a small smile. It isn't much but its sincerity reminds you of the warmth you last felt before your mother's death.
"You have a power far greater than you could have ever imagined before, but know this, it also comes with an equal duty." She holds out a hand and space ripples in her palm revealing a small purple pen with a golden cap tipped with an amethyst gem, an icon shaped like an "h" with a crossed stem sits on the face of the gem. Almost unconsciously you reach out for it and Luna presses it into your hand. Holding onto the pen feels as if a part of you that you never knew you lost has been returned to you.
"When confronted by the forces of evil you need only to hold the pen aloft and say the words Saturn Power Makeup and your true power as Sailor Saturn will awaken."
You mouth the words as Luna says them and it feels as if your very soul is singing in harmony with something far greater than anything you have ever known.
Luna continues on with her explanations, "There have been… incidents throughout the world but concentrated the most here in Tokyo. Sudden disappearances, unexplainable deaths, events that defy the realm of logic, all beyond the ken of mortal man to perpetrate let alone the ability of your police to handle. Hotaru your mission in thus, gather your comrades in the other Sailor Senshi and defeat the enemy that is threatening the world. Also, it is our solemn duty to find and protect the princess. Nevertheless, it would be foolhardy of me to dictate what should be done without hearing your thoughts or without you learning what you are capable of."

[] Fighting the enemy sounds important.
