| Almost everyone probably has some idea of how their own personal "Sailor Nemesis" would be, I'd imagine. But I'm rather interested in playing out the story of my own, to be honest. But rather than just turning it into a fanfiction, I'd like to do an RP (possibly more than one version?) as well to bring an element of surprise into it. This RP would be on a personal scale, while the background overshadows it in a larger one. Preferably it will be a private RP, though I'm not opposed to doing the story more than once since each person would bring something different to the table with their interpretations. I'm using the anime sub as a template for this, while bringing in suggestions from the manga and dub lines (such as the dub hinting that Sapphire was infatuated with Emerald; while the manga depicts him as an alchemist). Likewise with Rubeus in this case, I emphasize his manipulative qualities rather than having him as a completely unsuccessful antagonist as he is in canon. - Sailor Nemesis Information:
Since I don't have a profile done for Sailor Nemesis, it's probably a good idea to give someone an idea of her character.
She was originally discovered by Wiseman to have a senshi crystal at the age of 13, but while it wasn't they one he actually needed, he 'changed' it himself. Through sufficient and channeled use of the Nemesis essence, she awakened as the warrior of their planet rather than what she was supposed to. For two years she trained directly underneath him, while her family was elevated from the slums for having the sheer fortune of having the only senshi in centuries in their bloodline. Wiseman gave her the name Obsidian, to replace her civilian identity.
Her development as a senshi was remarkably quick, if only because necessity brought it on. In a year, she was considerably dangerous. In eighteen months, she was a shock soldier - even if one that was never 'good enough'. Wiseman's theory was simple enough - No matter how effective she truly was, she would never rebel or refuse orders if she believed that she was at fault. A dog was expected to obey, after all. So while she was quickly put to quashing rebellions over rations and related power on their starving planet, raids were soon put into addition of the patriotic duty.
It was only when she was 15 that she was brought before the Royal Family, and then because she was bleeding out from a nearly mortal wound. The younger prince's gentleness was what surprised her, Sapphire's apparent lack of direct action in combat coming as a welcome change. Lesser though he was in the eyes of the others, it was an almost immediate attachment for her to anchor to.
But that attachment and background admiration proved to her ultimate undoing. Now underneath both the General Rubeus and the noblewoman Emerald, whom both believed that Wiseman favored one more than the other in separate company, a more complicated version of his old ploy was put into play. While Obsidian proved to be 'adequate', it was not satisfactory. She must always somehow become better, for she was not worthy of her station. Or to even ask for a second look from the lesser prince.
Those words were only compounded when complications soon arose with her very nature as a senshi. Despite that cancer had been cured centuries ago on Earth, how her energies failed to disperse was startlingly like the disease. Although metaphysical, they tended to clump together and form 'tumors' - ones that grew more and more frequent as well as sizable. Sapphire was then given leave to study more medicinal traits of alchemy, if only to keep their main strike force from subjectively imploding; the lack of such treatments likely leading to death.
While the sessions continued to grow more and more frequent, so did the battles that she participated in. Currently at the age of 19, it would be sufficient to say that she is a deadly force. But not one without weaknesses.
(Obsidian may have quite a bit of baggage, but in her defense ... if you hear something long enough, you start to believe it. So, while they have warped her original crush into something of an obsession [not to the extreme of Emerald to Diamond, or Diamond to Serenity; but close] alongside a need to earn the right to simply be treated as human, most of her psychological weaknesses have been being cultivated intentionally. Sapphire is completely out of the loop, however; while Diamond is simply aware of it, but leaves the implementation to Wiseman and his lessers. Of course, the fact that Sapphire is also oblivious of even the slightest suggestion Obsidian may be uneasily-comfortable doing doesn't help matters; since Emerald is at the center of his romantic focus.
(I personally theorize that Sapphire practices martial arts on the side of being an alchemist/healer [though keeping the former well concealed], but that is just a headcanon, XD.) But while this RP has the potential to be quite dark, it will also be quite entertaining and investing. Any questions? I'd be glad to clarify. Key Characters:Obsidian: Puu Sapphire: (Preferably my RP partner.) Diamond: Open to us both, depending on who wants what. Could be shared. Emerald: Open to us both, depending on who wants what. Could be shared. Rubeus: Puu would like to share him, especially on scenes with low character count. Wiseman: Open to use both, depending on who wants what. Could be shared. Black Lady: Debatable? Subordinates - Akayashi Sisters: Uncertain if needed, but possibly. - Petz - Calaveres - Berthier - Koan Senshi & Crystal Tokyo Era (Past & Present): To be used as needed.

| Okay so I read it and I'm not that familiar with sapphires character. I would need to reread this arc of manga and really get in time with his character. I want to help though. |

| Hmm ... Well, I'm using the anime version of his main personality for the template, since the manga has most of the antagonists nonredeemable. It's hard to sympathize with them in that source. |

| I love this idea! And I've RPed Sapphire before, though mainly in a somewhat altered AU....since he dies in the anime. T-T ANyway I'm gonna be really swamped this month at least for the next two to three weeks. But if the spot's still open when I'm not buried I'd love to. YOu don't have to hold it for me though. ^^ If anyone can jump in sooner go for it. |

| Oh, yay! You don't mind the fact that it will be so dark? I just now realized that I forgot to plainly put a 'themes of abuse' warning in the first post, though hopefully the implication was clear enough, XD.
But, even if you are busy right now, I'm more than willing to do a version with you. (Hehe, yes, I'm interested in different versions because everyone seems to interpret canon characters differently.) I'm really looking forward to starting, though. ^^ |

| I kind of gathered that from your description. Do you know where you see it heading eventually? And I agree on Sapphire. I think he does know how to fight, and is able to, but chooses not to because it's not in his nature. I like the whole love tangle of it. You have Sapphire looking to Emerald (which is an interesting change), while both Obsidian and Petz are looking to Sapphire. It might be interesting to throw Petz in there too because she too is afraid to express her feelings...but...she might feel superios to Obsidian. Would jealousy cause one or both of them to be more forthcoming? And on top of all that you have Sapphire likely pushing aside any feelings for Emerald or anyone else because of his duty to his brother, so he'd be a hard one to woo as well. Could get quite interesting. ^^ Just some random musings. What do you think? OK, so this idea has been bouncing around my head all day. I really shouldn't because I have so much going on...But I think I'd like to just jump into this now. |

| Well, we have several options in this. We could follow canon up to Sapphire's death, or we could make this completely AU and have Sapphire survive (which, in my opinion, may actually make the story better if he sought asylum with Usagi and Mamoru). I am going to have two endings to my fanfiction version, at very least, XD.
Also a little tidbit you may or may not want to consider, but it's up to you if you want to use it. I have another little headcanon that Sapphire is actually the sicklier of the two royal siblings, but has been improving around the time the R arc comes around; but the constant treatments Obsidian has been needing are wearing him down. Both health and energy wise. (XD, and my best friend suggested that Sapphire is the illegitimate son of Wiseman. Now that thought won't leave my head.)
Anyway! I definitely like your train of thought, Poet. ^^
Feel free to make your post. I'll respond ASAP. *Super huggle.* (Let me mark the existing thread as our version, since Kyra and Venus are still interested as well.)
EDIT: As a heads-up, my computer is having issues again, but I'll borrow Mom's laptop to post if it actually goes out. Well, post to let you guys know what happened. |

I can go with all of that. Though I doubt Saphir would know it if he were related to Wiseman. (Though I have trouble picturing Wiseman doing something so normal and human as making love and having a child LOL Just O-O LOL) It actually might be interesting to figure out who should protect Sapphire from that final blow from Wiseman. Maybe Mamoru makes it in time. I rather picture the two would become friends. It's interesting you say that about Wiseman though, because I've been nursing the start of an otaku character in the back of my mind that would be basically Sapphire's daughter, but not biologically so. In case Diamond and Sapphire turn out to defy Wiseman and try to thward his plans, he steals DNA from both brothers and creates his own backup minions in a way as a backup plan. But he never gets to use them during the R arc. Many Many years later the girls are found and awakened. It's just a rough idea brewing in my head for another RP at some point. Oh, what's going on with your computer? Maybe I can help a bit? I used to work IT Helpdesk in college. Sooo....do I need to fill out a canon app or something? And where should I post? ^-^ |

| Well, I've found a laptop that I like on Office Depot. It's kinda expensive, but I'm thinking that, since my first class is literally first thing in the morning, and I'm relying on my brother for a ride, I may as well buy a laptop so I can do my online class while I'm waiting on him to finish his. (I have Math that finishes at 8:30, and then English online. But his classes don't finish until noon.) And I want to have on computer that will cover everything, so ... I'm considering buying the Toshiba Satellite.
And, yeah, your posts are fine! Let me get you one myself before I head to work, though I hope to have my new computer before the weekend is out. Have fun camping! |

((We're going to take a steam ship tour where you ride first on an old steam locomotive, then a Mississippi style paddle steamboat. And later in the week we're going on board the last surviving whaling ship from the 1840's. So excited! ^^)) Anyway totally babbling since it's late. But I'll post now. I think I like your idea of sharing the other characters whnever one of us feels inspired or needs to move plot. I've never done it that way before but it sounds interesting! ^^ I'm gonna borrow Diamond for a second. |

| Actually, my brother is suggesting that I buy an HP because it's 100 cheaper, while meeting mostly the same criteria. We've just never had an HP laptop before, just desktops. Any experience with those?
(And that sounds fun!)
XD, well, Oneechan and I tend to share characters on occasion with our Skype-base RPs. It never fails to get us out of a tight spot, when we're stuck, so there isn't any harm in sharing if no one objects, true?
Oh, and feel free to control Rubeus in later posts. I'll probably control him in the first post that he appears in to give you an idea of how much I amplify his manipulative and combative abilities to make him a proper antagonist, but then he's free game. (To his credit, he is quite clever. He mixes his lies with half-truths and actual truths, usually in ways that only further demean Obsidian's worth or deserving. Such as Sapphire sacrificing much of his time for her.) |
