| Gates of Horn and IvoryCrystal Tokyo is under attack, and it's up to Queen Lady Serenity's two daughters and a new generation of sailor soldiers to fight against evil!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:
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.

| About the Villains
Morgen the Sorceress is a woman whose own dreams have been stolen from her--and in return, she is out to steal the dreams of others. Although once the heir to the throne of a powerful kingdom with great magic in their bloodline, she found herself outcast and stripped of all that was promised to her. She seeks revenge on any with their dreams still within their reach. The beautiful forests of Elysion are her ultimate target, so that she may destroy the dreams of all those protected by its power!
Morgen and her "children" use Nachtmar--crippling illusions of a person's worst fears and insecurities--to incapacitate their victims and steal Moramoths--the souls of dreamers. Morgen wears the stripped-off wings of these treasures on her massive, floor-length cape as trophies.

| Right now there are 3 characters that we are really hoping to have filled for this game, but we have the ability to open up more roles if there is enough interest. I just don't want to have a huge cast list that makes it difficult to make progress~ Please ask questions if you've got any~ |

| I'm really glad to hear that there is some interest n this! Sailor Mercury, I would be more than happy to talk to you and help you with developing Thalia's abilities if you'd like. I'm sure Aurae would love to help you discuss it too! Feel free to ask us questions. Maybe focus on not just romance, but other ideas of love as well? It's something Aurae and I forgot to mention, but it's dreams of Romance, but also love in general-- after all no everybody dreams of having romantic relationships, and generally everyone wants to be loved. |

I'm glad that you are interested~! I'm not sure if this helps, but Thalia's powers are still dream-related, so you could incorporate terms of that nature. The "romance" aspect could be influenced by the positive emotions and excitement that are associated with an ideal relationship, rather than (Venus) love itself. Minako is a romantic person, honestly most of the sailor soldiers are romantics, but I'm sure there's a new way to incorporate it~ I am really hopeful that you'll join us! |

| That does kind of help! I think I have a bit more ideas on how to develop this. Could her powers be of the mental/illusion kind? Perhaps a Cupid-like power where she can make someone temporarily infatuated with someone else and making them vulnerable to more damaging attacks. Or a dream-like power where she creates an illusion for an enemy to disorient them (putting them in a dream realm). Also, since both your characters only have two powers (so far?) should I also aim for the same number for Thalia? |

Also, since both your characters only have two powers (so far?) should I also aim for the same number for Thalia? I think those are both good ideas~ :3 If you would stick to two attacks for now that would be great. Maybe one attack that causes damage and another that causes "status-effect" type problems, such as the disorientation or vulnerability you mentioned above? Personally, I'm a big fan of attacks that have multiple uses, because it makes them easier to incorporate during a roleplay. I also find that if you don't have an attack that actually causes some kind of damage you are super-screwed if you wind up fighting a monster or villain unassisted, hence my damage-causing attack recommendation. Perhaps one of your above ideas could be combined with something that causes damage for one of the attacks, and the other could be a stand-alone effect? |

| Yes, good point of course. I shall think of something more offensive that could add to that or switch one of the two. If you guys have any suggestions, I'd be happy to hear them ^_^ |

Perhaps you could combine the disorienting with something damaging, so that the attack would have both a damaging AND disorienting combo? Potentially she could hit her target with energy summoned from that target's romantic feelings, it flashes a dream-like image before them of the object of their strongest romantic feelings, and causes the energy-related damage along with disorientation/confusion as an after effect for a period of time pending Sailor Thalia's strength/experience with that attack? |

This is a great idea! But what would the secondary attack be then? Would it also be something disorienting? If you're sticking with an illusion theme for the more defensive/assisting move perhaps she has a way to create "clones" of herself? A little cliche but it's definitely in the realm of illusions. |

| Idea for someone potentially interested in Sailor Aglaea: you could have an attack similar to the Pokemon move "Payday" (credit for this idea to Aurae).
Also, for anyone else interested. Just remember that what we've put up for the realm of influence for each senshi of the Elysian Trio isn't restricting. With "wealth" for example, that doesn't always mean monetary wealth! :> |

| I've come up with this one, let me know what you think Lovely Dream Mirage: Thalia can send a burst of energy at someone which materializes in the form of pink clouds of mist. The mist will surround them in an illusion of their dreams, making them forget where they actually are. At the same time it also infects them with love energy, which makes them temporarily dazed and will turn any aggressive instincts into pacifist ones. I'm still stuck on the second one. I had an idea for an offensive attack but I'm having trouble making it not a copy of Love and Beauty Shock. I can't think of another projectile form that isn't a heart that would be appropriate. |

| I think that is an adorable attack name!
What about a floral shape? There are numerous flowers that were used to represent all sorts of different forms of love. |

| Okay! I think I've got the second power as well. Cherry Blossom Kiss: This power manifests in a surge of cherry blossom petals, each of which has explosive properties which can cause great damage on an enemy. The flowers can also impair vision when used in great quantities. Clearly pink is going to be a theme. xD I was thinking of giving her fuku a pink and light blue theme, but then I see this is Sailor Moon's theme. I could perhaps try red and something else. |

| This is great! My only question is does it cause great damage to any enemy? Or does it only cause great damage to weak a weak enemy and only minimal damage to stronger enemies?
I like the pink and light blue theme! But if you want to use red go ahead. :3 |

| Hmm, it would depend on what you guys were thinking in regards to the power levels for these senshi. If they're just awakening, I imagine it would only be causing greater damage on low level enemies.
Edit: Did either of you have any background info about the Trio, or could I make up her own history? |

| They are just awakening as senshi. Nope! The only background information on the Elysian trio that we have pre-established is:
- 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.)

Oh, one last question! Do you want the team's fuku to be uniformed in design? If so, I would need to know what it's like to fill that portion! I think they should coordinate with Sailor Elysion, since they're her teammates, but should be slightly less elaborate than she is--since she is their princess/leader/etc. I think her teammates should have fewer stripes on their collars (Elysion has 3--they should probably have 1 or 2). Probably at this point Elyison should be the only one with wing accents. Elysion's choker is not a traditional ribbon, but instead two thin golden rings. I think it would make sense for her teammates to have unique jewelry-looking chokers instead of the typical ribbon. |

| Aw, I just read Elysion's profile again and realized my first attack name is practically a copy off of hers That was an unfortunate coincidence. I will change it to something else. And noted about the fuku design! I should hopefully have the profile done over the next few days. |
