Lady's looking for love :D Help me Plan?

Lotus Crystal

Yeah, I accepted the Sirius profile, even though some minor things were incomplete, because she hadn't worked things out with NQS. Given nothing else is amiss, the profile can be accepted even if it has minor incompletions, such as no last name. Just be sure to fill that information in once you know it.

Outer Senshi Admin Roleplay Director

I've written a rough opening post to kick things off.

opening post:

Who is ready to play? If you are no longer interested in joining in, just say so. Smile

We'll keep your character but make her an NPC until/unless someone wants to adopt her, or we'll scrub her if you would prefer.

I think it'd be nice if we started sometime next week, once Crystal has recovered from her wisdom teeth removal, and for now I think we should plan on keeping it to just the one idea -- new senshi meeting together for the first time in a coffee shop, getting to know one another, forming friendships, and maybe recounting their first battles with one another and hearing about what all this is about.

Nothing huge, nothing too complicated, just getting into our characters. Once we complete that thread and the girls go home or whatever, then we can talk about possibly continuing with a battle; and then, if everyone's comfortable, getting into the full swing with Scorpio's intention to either find the Genesis Crystal (Grafias's pet project, right?) or to awaken Antares, and we'd start their for-real search for the Seven Rainbow Crystals and the Princess.

What do you guys think?

Senior Member Small Lady Emeritus

Sounds like a plan. I've been working on my profile and been talking with Hitomi about details. I think we still need to flesh out oa few things, but if its going to start in the coffee shop, we got most of the main stuff except maybe the senshi awakening story, but thats about it. I'll be updating my profile later. ^_^

Lotus Crystal

I would love to, but I can't in June. Once I get bacj I am willing to jump in.

Outer Senshi Admin Roleplay Director

Once you get back, we might maybe be out of the coffee shop XD lol, I don't think you'd be missing anything as a villain ^^

Senior Member Small Lady Emeritus

Bump! I'm ready to go whenever the others are.

Senior Member Saturn Emeritus

^^^Ditto!

(Besides tweaking remains in my profile >_>)

Outer Senshi Admin Roleplay Director

Okay, I've got an opening post ready to go; just wondering now if Crystal wants to create the board or if I should, and then where we should make it. ^^' Lol. Free-form, do you think?

Senior Member Small Lady Emeritus

Yay! Can't wait! Free-form makes sense to me. Very Happy

Senior Member Small Lady Emeritus

Any word on starting this...?

Pyramidal Crystal

I'm still definitely in for this! Just need to finish my Rigel profile and the one for the two twin brother villains.

If we're doing it free form does that mean we don't need the full application? Either way I'll try to finish at least one tonight if I can.

Lotus Crystal

Outer Senshi Admin Roleplay Director

Lotus Crystal

Has this started yet? I am back and ready to play.

Outer Senshi Admin Roleplay Director

Just wondering if Crystal would like to start the official thread, or if she would like me to! It's her plan and I didn't want to start it without permission. ^.~

!! ._. does an official storyline need to be submitted?

Senior Member Saturn Emeritus

We should start... I am just waiting for my character to be approved.

Senior Member Small Lady Emeritus

Yeah I'm ready to go. xD

Lotus Crystal

Bump!

Lotus Crystal

I went ahead and submitted a storyline submission for this RPG. Let's get the ball rolling, ya'll!

Unfortunately, the finalization thread hasn't been updated in a long while, so crucial information about the plot and such is absent from the storyline submission.

Outer Senshi Admin Roleplay Director

Okay, so how about this for the Storyline Submission?
---------------

Name of the Storyline: Genesis
Name of the Creator: Neo Queen Serenity, Sailor Uranus
Forum: Free-Form
Plot Summary: Long ago, the stars of the Orion constellation were of one alliance, an alliance forged to protect the Orion Nebula, for the nebula’s powers of rebirth was necessary for the continuation of life, and those powers were often sought out by the forces of evil for its immense capabilities. Together, the seven senshi of Orion, princesses of their stars and beloved by their people, worked to solidify that incredible power into a single gemstone: The Genesis Crystal. They agreed that only one person should be allowed to wield its incredible power, a person with the purest heart and intentions. This person they named the Queen of Orion, and she made it her mission to protect the crystal, even from her own descendants, by making an everlasting promise that even her descendants would be unable to use the crystal if they had evil in their hearts. From that point forward, the senshi of Orion pledged to protect their princess, and did so admirably.

Many years and a senshi generation later, the sailor crystals of Orion were reborn into their respective princesses, and at their coming of age, each senshi moved to the Genesis Castle at the Orion Nebula to train and learn to work together to protect the princess and genesis crystal under the tutelage of Bunny of Mau and Sirius of Coronis.

Unfortunately, the two tutors could not decide on a single method of instruction, so the training was broken and haphazard, and it was then that Scorpion struck, intent upon the Crystal and its immense powers. In fear of her senshi’s lives, the Princess of Orion used the power of the Genesis Crystal to save everyone and send them all to a different place, in hopes of a better future.

But, little did she know, when she sent everyone away, she also sent Scorpion and his minions with them. Their new life on Earth in a small town “Elysian Fields” in America started out to be exactly what the princess had wished – without harm, free, and hopeful. However, when Scorpion awoke with similar ideas of domination and control, seeking the Genesis Crystal to awaken an ancient force of pure destruction and power than had been locked away, Antares, there was no alternative: Bunny and Sirius had to awaken the Orion Senshi to protect their new world, their princess, and the Genesis Crystal!

Details on any necessary information:
Senshi range from high-school to early-college age.
Genesis Crystal was fragmented into 7 rainbow crystals that hide within each Senshi; when they combine, the Genesis Crystal forms and the Princess awakens.
The Princess is not a senshi.

Restrictions:
---Canon: Senshi: NONE // Villains: NONE
---Otaku: Otaku Senshi: Sailor Betelgeuse, Sailor Rigel, Sailor Saiph, Sailor Bellatrix, Sailor Mintaka, Sailor Alnitak, Sailor Alnilam// Otaku Villains: Scorpi/o/n/us, Graffias, Isidis, Lesath, Aculeus and Acumen,

Note on Villains/possible timeline:

Well, if we're going to go off of star names within the constellation (Minus the big baddie Antares he's trying to summon...) I've listed them below with a quick note on meanings if I could find them... also suggested gender.

Graffias - Head of Scorpion; Lilac hue. Also called "Crown of the Forehead", according to Robson it causes 'extreme melevolence, mercilessness, fiendishness, repulsiveness, malice, theft, crime, pestilence and contagious diseases.' It's capable of bestowing great honor and power, but benefits are easily corrupted and abused and attended by danger and violence. Credited with giving the ability to do research, especially into things of a hidden or secret nature but they warn of an indication of mass destruction in mundane maps.
In this, I see Graffias as of either gender, wears liliac, and is in charge of Scorpion's research department, whether researching ways to summon Antares or researching the identities of the Orion Senshi. S/He's all of the terribleness listed above, has two pet dogs, "Danger" and "Violence" ((see what I did there? xD)). I think s/he should do the main research behind Antares, as s/he's associated with mass destruction. I also think that s/he should be the leader of the minions, as Kunzite lead the Shitennou.
Isidis - Right Claw of Scorpion; Also has Mars/Saturn nature; appears to bestow the same destructive qualities as Antares and Graffias, but with few of the possible benefits. Associated with imprisonment and shame, disgrace and assults. Capacity for gain but attended by qualities of selfishness, envy, violence, sickness and domestic disharmony. If this star promotes to high office, there is a real danger of subsequent disgrace.
So... he's Graffias's right hand man. He carries out the imprisonments and punishments, often shaming his captives, and, when not reigned in by Graffias, causes disharmony among the other generals of Scorpion. If ever he is promoted (Say Scorpion offs Graffias) it will be the downfall of the whole operation.
Lesath - Sting of Scorpion; means "The sting". Has Nature of Mercury/Mars, association with a quick mind, a stinging wit and capacity for verbal attack. Traditionally unfortunate and unlucky, reputed to bestow danger, violence, immorality and an affiliation with poisons.
So S/He's unlucky, but incredibly quick thinking, and enjoys using poison to do away with enemies. Quick to attack and deals with problems head-on.
Aculeus AND Acumen- Sting of Scorpion; twins. Both with nature of Mars and Moon. Marked reputation for blindness (physical, emotional, and psychological), sickness and disease. Their position illustrates a propensity for attack, both as victim and perpetrator, whilst their lack of definition argues for emphasis on hidden and sustained energies, rather than a direct or immediate impact (which would be more characteristic of the influence of Lesath)
So, twins (fraternal or identical), with one of them being physically blind, the other is blind to anything but their immediate future (can't think ahead/see the bigger picture/see through possible downfalls to schemes). Attacks the people around the senshi, and when directly attacks them they inflict disease upon them, from fevers to hallucinations to actual temporary blindness. However, their attacks can be turned back upon them...

!! So, that was rather enlightening. I can easily see their personalities fully, and have a rough outline as to their purpose, roles, and when they would be introduced.

The first villain they'd face would be Lesath, as s/he's quick to act and quick to think. S/he's a thorn in their side, but likes to get things done; however, unlucky her, they defeat her. This is the villain they're facing when the team comes together.
After the defeat of Lesath, the Orion Senshi think that the whole thing is over, as no other enemies appear for quite some time. They think they've won. ... however, people all over their city are getting sick, and only when they catch the perpetrators, the Twins, do they realize that their battle with Scorpion was only just beginning.
The twins bide their time, attacking their friends and family, but on, let's say the second time they meet in battle (second just for expiatory purposes and simplicity) they, too, are defeated. ... during their little mini arc, some of the senshi get sick, of course, so there's that aspect, too.
After that, Graffias, Scorpion's head thinker, while working on figuring out ways to collect energy to feed to Antares that they might summon him during the Alignment, rediscovers the signs that the Genesis Crystal and its princess guardian have also been reborn.
Now, again, the Genesis crystal could come straight from the princess, or could be hiding in some dark and undisturbed place; or it could have split itself and the seven rainbow crystals could be hiding, either within the town in every day objects, statues, etc., hiding in plain sight as decoration, or hiding within the seven Orion senshi themselves. I personally like the hiding-within-the-Orion-senshi idea, so I'mma write like that's the option we choose for the rest of this; however, it's super easy to change if general consensus wants it to just be the Genesis Crystal.
Graffias, still deep in research and planning, sends his right hand man - the terrifying Isidis-the-torturer - out to locate the ((seven rainbow crystals OR Genesis Crystal)).

So Isidis is their third opponent, hunting for the seven rainbow crystals that lie dormant in each of them ((He puts two-and-two together after hunting about 4 of them separately, then uses an attack on innocents to draw the senshi out and gets the other three out in the open all at once. ... but then dies, because the Rainbow Crystal awakenings unlock another power within the senshi it came from, and with all 7 of them with new power upgrades, he doesn't really stand a chance.)).

At the discovery of the first rainbow crystal, the guardians tell the senshi about their past and the possible implications of the crystals, mainly the reincarnation of the Genesis Crystal. As the crystal can be used for both good and evil, it was an imperative for them to find the missing Princess, so while Graffias is finding the crystals and sending Isidis out to get them, the senshi are desperately trying to find the princess before it's too late.

Only the princess can bring the seven rainbow crystals together to form the Genesis Crystal; and they find her only when Scorpius sends Graffias out after them.
So Graffias is the final baddie, having finished his research on summoning Antares, with or without the Crystal. Via energy readings, he finds the princess before the senshi do, and attacks. The senshi come in, attempt to save her, but it's almost too late, when the princess suddenly and violently reawakens. In her princess form, the seven rainbow crystals free themselves yet again from the Orion senshi and hover before her. With a single thought, the Genesis Crystal is reborn in all of its glory.
As the princess is unable to use it in violent ways, it is her wish for peace that sets the crystal off. She wishes that it was over, that he wasn't attacking her or these kind-hearted strangers, that he would just disappear... and the crystal grants the wish. He vanishes; Graffias is defeated.

But just who is this princess? She is supposed to be the glue that holds their team together (perhaps several of the seven think differently, possibly forming two factions (like the inner/outer senshi)? If so, let's separate Mintaka from the twins, or one twin from the other, so it's not Belt senshi vs Body senshi, but a healthy mix of the two. Maybe split on age lines, for the understanding of the way the world works verses the idealism of younger girls?) but they don't know this princess. For her to be able to defeat Antares, they needed to trust her with all their hearts; only then would the Crystal fully activate.

So, they mess around with trust issues for a while...
Scorpius is ready. He sends regular footmen after the princess to try to regain the crystal, but it fails. The Crystal was really only an ambition of Graffias, so he doesn't really care either way. The time comes, he summons Antares at the North Pole...

And the senshi appear there to stop him, their princess with them.

As the princess and crystal face off against Antares, the senshi battle Scorpius.

Hard battle, possible deaths before getting there, deaths while fighting, etc., but in the end Scorpion is dead, most of the senshi are dead, and the Princess uses the Genesis crystal to defeat Antares, but dies, too, in the attempt.

Now, whether she wishes correctly and the Genesis Crystal grants them with new life is up to how it goes. if they are reborn, whether they remember the strong friendships and understandings formed between them all is up in the air. .. Whether all the senshi are reborn, but their princess's life is the sacrifice for their rebirth, taking the Genesis Crystal with her into oblivion... that's also an option.

._. also tentatively threw this in the Genesis RP Venus put in the storyline submission xD Things totally changable. ._.

Lotus Crystal

I bumped a lot of the incomplete profiles for several otaku characters. Please, finish your character application, so you can begin having fun role-playing. ^^

Lotus Crystal

If you want to be truly ambitious, you might put a submission to the Request board, so we can fill in some of the missing roles.

Outer Senshi Admin Roleplay Director

XD I WAS ITCHING TO DO THAT!!

;_; but then I remembered my "must be accepted storyline" rule and cried.

... BUT I MADE THE RULE SO I'MMA BREAK IT BRB.

Lotus Crystal

Lol ^^

Lotus Crystal

Just so we all know, NQS doesn't have the time to play Bunny right now. She's a very busy queen.

Bunny is available for adoption. You can either modify the character profile or create a new character profile.
