| - Recent IC Events:
Five months ago, a team of senshi were sent to a remote planet to answer a cry for help that had been addressed to the senshi of the Solar System. Once there, they found themselves trapped in a metallic maze, pitted against robotic creatures to save a young woman they were never completely sure was on their side. The trial left them drained and unsure, but they survived it nonetheless, with one of their captors dead - killed by the mastermind of the trap - and the other left supposedly stranded on the planet. The girl they went to save planted herself with them, and gave them information about the man in charge. She described him as devilishly handsome, and incredibly intelligent.
As they escaped that cursed planet, Sailor Achelois felt a disturbance within her heart - someone, or something, was attacking her homeworld. She left immediately to face the threat, and the rest of the team split - roughly half following her to help if they could, while the other half headed back for the Solar System. On planet Achelois, Sailor Achelois was able to find and defeat the threat with relative ease based on her role as the planet's goddess and the immense wealth of power she had while connected to her star; the culprit had been a seed. This seed had sprouted its roots in her planet, blackening anything it came in contact with. While Achelois was able to reverse the process, she was startled with how quickly it had grown.
The teams met up again just outside the Solar System, which was now encased in a shell of garnet-colored energy - a force-field had been erected to keep everyone out of the Solar System. Finding entrance on the dwarf-planet Pluto, the team met Guardian Pluto, and from her learned that all of the Solar Systems defenses had been enacted - protections from Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus were in place to guard against any and all outsiders. No one was allowed to enter the Solar System. Through communications between the Pluto Castle and Earth, they were able to connect with Sailor Jupiter whom, along with King Endymion and Neo Queen Serenity, were alone with the people of Earth, the other senshi being out in the galaxy to fight against the rise in Chaos. From Jupiter they learned they had been presumed dead, for what was only days to them had been five months in real time. During those five months, Chaos had risen, his agents attacking planets all throughout the galaxy. Their leader had yet to emerge, but they alone were enough trouble. Senshi had gathered to fight off this threat, and as soon as one case was quelled, several more popped up in their stead. They were overextended. They needed help. Many of the team were going to volunteer to help where they could, when all of the sudden two of their own announced that their planets were under attack, chaos spreading in the same way it had on Achelois. Ribbon, the girl they saved from the planet, revealed that their planets could be attacked out of revenge for foiling her ex-master's plot - the maze planet they had been stuck in had been meant for the Solar System Senshi, and had those senshi appeared this galaxy-wide takeover would have happened quickly and quietly. He saw it as their fault his plans did not go so smoothly.
Suddenly, both Sailor Leviathan and Sailor Andromeda felt Chaos's presence on their planets, and announced it to the rest of the group. As they discussed what course of action they would take - which planet to clear first before heading to the other, Leviathan, unable to wait, took off for her planet and her people; Shadow followed after. The rest of them decided to clear Andromeda first, and then take the battle to planet Leviathan. As they prepared to leave for Andromeda, Sailor Enyalius, too, felt the disturbance, but did not mention it. Sailor Leviathan and Shadow have left for planet Leviathan. The other senshi from the original group - Sailors Enyalius, Europa, Achelois, Nocturnus, Panacea, and Varuna - were tentatively going to follow Sailor Andromeda to help dispel the Chaos taking hold on her planet. [???] Sailor Jupiter would alert any other Sailor Senshi who had finished dispelling Chaos on another planet to their need, and send any willing senshi to rendezvous with them just outside of Planet Andromeda. This team of Senshi travel to Planet Andromeda to aide their friend, Sailor Andromeda, in clearing her planet of the chaotic seed planted there. Will you join them? Rules, Background, and Dungeon Crawler Game Notes and InformationThis event is a Hardcore Event. Rules:
- Only ten (10) Specific Otaku Senshi will be allowed to join this event. Neo Queen Serenity's court are otherwise engaged, helping planets clear themselves of chaotic influences. Senshi listed above as being elsewhere (Leviathan, Shadow, Soul, Ribbon) cannot be in two places at once, and so cannot join. Sailors Aktypris and Zorya may change their minds, as their players did not take part in the final live-chat and so could not control their volunteering or not. Other accepted otaku will be allowed to join to make the final number of participants a max 10. *Accepted Otaku Senshi are senshi who have had their profiles approved by a Roleplay Administrator in the Otaku-Crossover Characters board; for help on accomplishing this task, see this thread for the application and contact any of our Roleplay Moderators (or me!). The profile could be advanced or relaxed for this event. Need ideas for a senshi? Why not visit Character Adoption?
- This event is considered both Relaxed and Advanced. You need not follow the 100-word post count requirements of an Advanced board (though attempting proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation are encouraged ^^'), so your character profile could be approved as Advanced or Relaxed. When tallying posts during this event, your post will be counted as either relaxed or advanced based on word count, rather than on profile category. As profiles are required, posts are tallied in the full fashion, rather than the usual 1/2 count for non-profile-required events.
- This Event is Roleplay Section Multifaceted: There will be elements from all sections of our roleplay boards within it; it will last for exactly one month (Event), requires a profile approval (Profiles), posts can be counted towards the month's challenge or contest (Challege), and will involve Dungeon Crawler Elements (Games) as well as live-events over Skype (Live-Chat RPs). More on the Game elements later. Being such, participating actively in this event can really pull in the RP points ^^
- An Activity Rule is in effect. By signing up below, you agree to follow all GC and RP Rules alongside the following activity rule: At least one post is required every 48 hours. Failure to post at least once within those 48 hours will result in your character disappearing mysteriously, to be recovered by the remaining heroes at the end of the roleplay. (They won't die, but I won't let their unresponsiveness slow down the game). If you have an unexpected (but announced) LOA during this event that lasts less than 3 days, your character will be carried with the team. If the LOA lasts more than 3 days, the normal disappearance protocol will go into effect.
- Skype use is highly recommended. For the game elements in this roleplay, a quick question/answer method is best and Skype is the preferred chat system. Skype is free and doesn't require personal information to use. Once the event gets underway I create a Skype group to be used as the OOC thread for the event; add me to your contacts with your GC name and I'll add you to the group. There will be a forum-based OOC board for this event (once sign-ups are close, this board becomes the OOC), so while it is highly recommended, if you are uncomfortable with using skype information will still be handed out through this board if necessary. My skype username is Kyralih
Background This event takes place in the Galaxy Cauldron Crystal Tokyo "Canon", which means it can be added to Otaku Character Profiles as an official part of their history. That being said,
- The setting is several hundred years after Crystal Tokyo was formed. Chibi Usa is now known as "Lady Serenity" (or Young Lady) and has taken on the mantle of Sailor Moon, and the Quartet have awakened as her guardian Senshi. Earth is open to visiting senshi from other systems; once they arrive they go through a little ceremony that walks them through the do's and don't's of staying on Earth and such. If your Otaku Senshi lives on Earth (or another planet) during another time period, you need to include a reason for them being this far in the future somewhere in your profile in order to ease this story into theirs.
- No "parallel" or A.U. Characters will be allowed in this roleplay. Examples of such characters would be a character from an alternate timeline where the Silver Millennium thrived and did not expire, or the love-child of one of the canon senshi that has taken over her place as Sailor Chibi ______, etc., as that would alter the "canon" Crystal Tokyo that we have been working off of.
- Known By Your Character wrote:
- In this Canon, the following events have transpired. Click on the links to learn more (if you want), but as players you do not need to be 100% familiar with these past events, but your character should have heard of these events if they have been on Earth for any period of time:
- The Collector - Nearly a year ago (in universe and in board), during a welcoming ceremony the Crystal Tokyo Court were taken from before an audience, spirited away by a strong, neutral-evil character called The Collector. A rag-tag team of extra-solar senshi followed after the trail of dust that followed in the Court's wake, and found themselves in an ancient Globular Cluster on the outskirts of the Milky Way Galaxy, wherein they fought ancient foes from a creepy living-dead museum and eventually faced off against The Collector himself, armed with weapons gifted to them by senshi who had long since died. In his defeat, the Crystal Tokyo Court was saved, and the group was given the Silver Crescent Award for their bravery.
- Decay - Months after that, a tiny visitor came to Crystal Tokyo pleading for help for her planet: her Queen had been kidnapped, and a great evil was spreading throughout their home. Neo Queen Serenity requested volunteers to go to the planet Zenar and help the fairies find their lost Queen, and while there make sure the planet, which had no senshi of its own, was not being secretly taken by Chaos to be used as a base. Upon landing on the planet, the team was given a guide, Mossen, to help them through the dense, maze-like forest in an attempt to get to the castle in time. Ultimately they failed, as by the time they reached the castle, the Fairy Queen was corrupted, and the world began to decay around them. They managed to save much of the fairy populace and relocate them to another planet for the time, but that still meant that Zenar was corrupted by chaos, and would need to be cured...
- Return to Zenar- After the failure of the first attempt at clearing Zenar of evil, another team of volunteers were prepared to face the task, studying all they could about what they would soon face. They learned more of the Queen, and her daughter who had been corrupted before her. They learned of the past of the planet, how it had once been home to humans who had all perished in a nuclear war, leaving angry spirits to populate the planet, giving Chaos a cozy place to settle. Once on the planet they flew directly into the castle, and fought many enemies to finally make it to their goals. They defeated the Chaotic Agent that was running the place, and saved the Fairy Princess, but the Queen died in the process. The Princess awakened as Sailor Zenar, and when all was said and done, she led her people back to the planet and fights diligently to reclaim and purify their home.
- Remnants- No one outside the group of senshi who were involved should know anything about the events that transpired during this adventure.
Dungeon Crawler Game Notes
- The dungeon crawler aspects of the game are all over the place! That means we'll be using maps, as well as HP and MP counters, as well as Strength, Dexterity, Mind, and Perception skill points! See this for Examples (don't worry, lol, everything on page two and three of that document was all at the end of the game
- Characters who have already made and used their profiles in past events may make small edits in their point distribution (remember to add the events you played in to your character profile to unlock more character building points!) and any changes to magic skill costs as necessary; skype me to make changes!
- New players (ilu come play!) will need to build their character from scratch; we'll start the process together when you sign up with your approved profile! Skype me!
- Big Game Rule: You will be held to your accepted profile. If you use any item during the game that was not listed in your profile, I'm throwing a red flag and having you rework that post. Do not "find" anything I have not told you (over skype or PM) that you have found. Stuff's important in here, and I'm keeping a tight reign on it XD. Battle wounds and such will be decided by roll via me, so no fake wounds or overdramatizing attacks and whatnot. Attacks will follow the same rule - I roll for everything. Everything. Using rolls makes Godmodding and Powerplaying nearly impossible, so that's why I do it the way I do ^^
- Rules for items purchased at The Fate Exchange will follow the rules outlined in that OSA-P Store.
Remember
- Pay attention to the story - read every post so you don't miss anything. Major Plot Points will be delivered through me - I will announce, for example, when we find objects/people, and what things look like. I will arrange for the baddies to be fought, and I'll handle the combat system (everyone chooses their own attacks and everything, I just roll to see if those attacks hit, and see how effective those attacks are against the bad guys, and rolling a die to see how much damage they do (if any XD the 0 is allowed and causes the attack to miss its target)).
- Post at least once every 48 hours - Failure to post at least once within those 48 hours will result in your character disappearing mysteriously, to be recovered by the remaining heroes at the end of the roleplay. (They won't die, but I won't let their unresponsiveness slow down the game). If you have an unexpected (but announced) LOA during this event that lasts less than 3 days, your character will be carried with the team. If the LOA lasts more than 3 days, the normal disappearance protocol will go into effect.
And, finally, while bringing in side-storylines is okay, this roleplay will end around October 31st, win, lose, or draw. I suggest keeping noses to the grindstone and keep moving forward to make it to the ending battle before it's too late!
The Event Begins October 1st! If you have any questions about this event (any part, anything) ask it here or in our Skype OOC Chat (or skype me directly if you're afraid it will be lost in the mess!) and I'll respond as quickly as possible. The game begins on Thursday, October 1st, and will end on Saturday, October 31st.List of Characters:Ten Spots Total Available; first priority to senshi who were there to volunteer. (their names appear on this list automatically, but are not officially part of the RP until they sign up on this thread with a link to their profile). Bolded and linked names have been officially accepted. "Reserved" spots will be reserved for two days; if their place in the RP has not been solidified (they don't sign up) before Tuesday morning, the spot will be open for an additional otaku to claim (and their senshi will have decided to stay at Castle Charon).

| Alright! Those are our last two characters! The Sailor Team for Andromeda's Spire is complete!I'm sorry Jasper couldn't join us in this one, but we've hit our limit! The story begins tomorrow! Sailors Callisto, Sedna, Amatheia and Makemake, as the intro states, your characters will be entering having just finished "cleaning out" a planet from chaotic influence and are joining this team having gotten a message from Sailor Jupiter about another planet in need. The Chaotic Agent that they just finished defeating on these random planets would be on the level of mini bosses (Shitennou, Witches 5, Amazon Trio, Animamates, etc.), but they keep popping up all over the galaxy so you've been busy for the past few months on various planets. You could come already knowing each other, or not knowing anyone; you can totally discuss those options here or on skype ^^ I should be getting stats finalized tonight; please watch for questions on skype! |

| Aaaand by "tomorrow" I thought yesterday was Wednesday ha ha ha...
SO BY TOMORROW I MEAN TOMORROW TOMORROW XD October 1st!
If the mentioned senshi in the post above decide that they know each other, please post so here (I can't see skype right now) so I can take that into account when writing the game intro post.
Having been directed to this planet by Sailor Jupiter, I'd put them as arriving at the planet just before the Remnants group, else approaching as they get there. If you guys decide that the new additions know each other / were working to exterminate chaos on a planet together just before being called to Andromeda, I'll have your senshi arrive together / be in place together already.
Remember - the entire galaxy has been chaotic for five months now. Tens of thousands of planets under attack by chaotic agents who had been in place and waiting to pounce at exactly the same moment, calculated down to the day. Exactly a month later, a whole new batch popped up, and a month after that - any ground made on one planet seems to be lost on another. Any planet in contact with any other planet has heard about the invasions and are probably panicking about being next, probably turning slightly xenophobic (despite the agents probably already being in place), and probably don't want to let go of their senshi to save other worlds in case theirs needs saving.
The senshi who are out and about, being heroes to planets under duress, planets without senshi or planets whose senshi needs or could use backup, are either those with a warning system or teammate in place on their homeworld to send an alarm in case something comes up, has already cleansed their homeworld, or whose homeworld is protected by a barrier. All solar system senshi fall under the latter, and with their strength and Neo Queen Serenity backing them, they are beacons of hope throughout the galaxy.
Not very many senshi have died during this invasion, and usually the ones that do were new and inexperienced, facing their first true enemy, rather than shadows of darkness ("monsters of the day").
If any of the newcomers wanted to include this information into their history or SSI, please also update me here on that. |

| JTC and I decided that Callisto and Sedna would kind of know each other before the start of the RP only in terms of like they worked together on the last planet and talked a bit but they don't know each other personally and only have a vague idea of what each other is truly capable of power wise. |

| Callisto and Amatheia are also somewhat familiar with each other from Amatheia's visits to the Solar System before the Chaos attacks. |
