Name of the Storyline: Gates of Horn and Ivory
Name of the Creators: Sailor Elysion and Sailor Mercury
Forum: Crystal Tokyo
Plot Summary: The reign of Queen Lady Serenity and her husband, Priest Helios, has been peaceful for thousands of years. With her Sailor Quartetto, the queen has successfully defended and protected Crystal Tokyo and the Solar System. In this era of prosperity and harmony, the royal family has raised not a single heir, but two daughters: Chiyoko and Usa. The eldest, Princess Serenity, has been trained from birth to follow in her mother and grandmother's footsteps as Sailor Moon and the future queen.

The brilliant glow of the Silver Crystal of Illusion and the Golden Crystal continues to spread light and love across the universe... but when there is light, there must also be shadow. Slowly and secretively the influences of a dark force have spread into Crystal Tokyo and even the sacred realm of Elysion. When Queen Lady Serenity and her Sailor Quartetto realize that danger is upon them, they discover that they are unable to summon their powers to fight. As the beautiful forests of Elysion begin to rot and decay, infested by some strange evil, the King's health fails. The light in the queen's Silver Crystal begins to fade.

When an unfamiliar evil force passes the barriers of the Crystal Palace and attacks the weakened king, Princess Serenity rushes to protect her father, expecting to finally transform into Sailor Moon.

She doesn't. Instead her younger sister Usa, running onto the scene, suddenly transforms.

Chiyoko is confused and hurt by these unexpected changes, but she still can't stand idly by. She decides that she will still fight even if she is not Sailor Moon...and with that resolution she transforms into a new sailor soldier, Sailor Elysion.

Awakened to fight against the new threat, Sailor Elysion must find her own sailor team, protect her world, ...and save her family.

Details on any necessary information:

• "Gates of Horn and Ivory" refers to the Greek mythological reference of two gates that dreams can pass through which would determine which dreams are false and which are true.
  
• During the roleplay, other girls of approximately Sailor Elysion's age will awaken as the three members of the team of sailor soldiers that she leads, the Elysian Trio.
  
• Each of Sailor Elysion's team members draws their powers from a specific category of dreams/goals that most people have--wealth, success, or romance.
  
• Sailor Elysion's team members represent the Amazon Trio's respect for Super Sailor Moon and the wishes of the Amazon Trio to support her. They are not literally the Amazon Trio, but they could be considered new sailor crystals related to the wishes of the Amazon Trio. (Although most of the storyline is based on the manga, this specific element is drawn from the anime.)
  
• The storyline begins with Sailor Elysion and Sailor Moon's first transformation.
  
• The evil forces used by the villains are known as Nachtmar. They represent crippling illusions of a person's worst fears and insecurities that allow the villains to steal a Moramoth--the soul of a dreamer.

Stating that I have seen this and will submit a review in the AM.

In the introduction of the story, can you specify the sister's names? That way it is a little easier to follow through when you start adding names. (Ex. was it the eldest sister who transformed into Sailor Elysion?)

I have added their given names. Please let me know if that makes it easier for your. As an additional note, I only ever refer to the eldest sister as Princess Serenity. The younger sister does not have a princess title.

Ok. I was not sure if the younger princess obtain the new title since she transformed, and the elder transformed into someone new.
