Sailor Moon | The Sunlit Millennium: Senshi Profiles, Part I

[ptahrrific]

Type: Character profiles
Spoilers: Through Osiris Descending
Table of Contents: The Sunlit Millennium

Worldbuilding notes: Ages are in Osiran years (the Ra standard), which are longer than Earth years...but the people of the Ra system live longer, so you can take them as about equivalent.

Animals will be referred to with Earth terms, and you can assume they're effectively the same. (Hey, we've seen aliens who can pass for Terran cats and crows, so why not everything else?)

With respect to Sailor Moon canon, anime and manga details are freely mix-and-matched in the backstory.

Sailor Osiris

Name: Princess Amirah of Osiris
Meaning: "Princess; prosperous"
Age: 12
Favorite foods: Fried eggs, sheep burgers
Likes: Swimming, long walks on the sand
Dislikes: Snakes

Planet: Osiris is (or was) the farthest planet from the star Ra, and the largest in the system. Its surface is more land than water, predominantly hot and dry except at the poles and on the coastlines. It has one substantial moon, Tatenen. Its last ruler was Queen Banebded, working in tandem with the elected People's Assembly.

Osiris serves as the system's link to its local equivalent of Elysion: the dreamworld Aaru, also known as the Reed Fields. A guardian creature named Tithoes presides over this world, and, as usual, makes a special point of protecting the dreams of young girls. Sailor Senshi from within the system can borrow his power to achieve Super tier.

Princess: Although just a kid, Amirah is highly conscious of herself as a dignified royal, with a duty and an image to uphold. Her unusually early awakening as a senshi has only strengthened the feeling that she needs to be a grown-up, as much as possible.

Senshi: Sailor Osiris' powers are based on sunset, flooding, and death. She wields the Enduring Sunset Rod, a multicolored crook-and-flail staff inlaid with jewels and set with a pair of wings. Her colors are orange and gold.

Osiris Planet Power, Light Up! Amirah crosses her arms and is surrounded by white ribbons, which wrap her tightly from the neck down. With a shimmer of orange they turn into her uniform.

Necropolis Flood! Cross arms in front of body at stomach level, then fling them open wide. A flood of dark water bursts forth, disintegrating every enemy with insufficient power in its path.

Djed Soul Sunset! Twirl the Enduring Sunset Rod in both hands for a bit, then swing it forward. A ball of orange light will appear, expand around the target, then turn black and vanish, leaving nothing but ash of anyone inside. (Djed loosely translates to pillar of stability.)

Sailor Makaiju / Sailor Magnesium Thorn

Name: Unknown
Age: Artificially old
Favorite foods: Sunlight, good rich earth
Likes: Pleasing Sailor Galaxia
Dislikes: Displeasing Sailor Galaxia

Planet: Makaiju is home to a species of massive sentient trees, which are known for being symbiotic with the plant-based humanoids that live in their branches. Or at least, it was. After the attack by the Shadow Galactica, its only remaining descendants are scattered across the galaxy, separated by light-years and largely unaware of each other. A few centuries on, multiple separate groups will believe themselves to be "the last of the species."

Although visually unmistakable (the green skin helps), treepeople are remarkably similar to humans in temperament and abilities. They even mimic sexual dimorphism, in spite of being physically sexless. (They reproduce by budding. For once, outsiders have a legitimate reason to think "wow, these people all look the same.")

Senshi: Originally Sailor Makaiju, ey had eir Star Seed stolen by Sailor Galaxia, and is now kept alive and mind-controlled by the bracelets ey wears. Eir colors are black (as in leather) and lavender.

Galactica Vines! Make a throwing gesture at the target area. Green-black vines with sharp thorns will blast forward and punch or bind the target. The force involved is fatal for most nonmagical humans (and members of humanoid species).

Galactica Seedling Myrmidon! A corrupted version of Super Sailor Makaiju's Makaiju Seedling Myrmidon. Point to the target area. Plants with dark green leaves and black thistles will erupt out of the ground, with enough force to break through most elements and compounds. These can be used for shields, or just wanton property damage.

Super Sailor Atum

Name: Queen Sopdet of Atum
Meaning: A holy star
Age: 29
Favorite foods: Sun lily brownies
Likes: Flash and spectacle; her daughter
Dislikes: Dry places

Planet: Atum is the closest planet to the star Ra, and the seat of the Star Crystal (Hoshizuishou), protective crystal for the entire system. Some of its major exports are products derived from the sun lily, a native flower with healing and hypnotic/stimulating properties.

Queen: Sopdet is the youngest ruler in the Ra system, who can be somewhat irreverent and enjoys putting on a show (or "showing off" if you're being ungenerous). This hasn't stopped her from forming fast friendships with the other three queens, particularly Banebded of Osiris.

It's easy to be cheerful when the system has been free of internal wars since before her birth, and the menaces she's taken down as a senshi have been one-off encounters. But Sopdet can keep it up even when a true threat arrives, though she understands full well the peril being faced.

Senshi: Sailor Atum's powers are based on sunrise, birth/life, perfume, and healing. Her colors are pink and periwinkle.

Please, Tithoes! Protect everyone's hearts! Tithoes gives an answering roar, and Sailor Atum's uniform changes form, the Super Sailor version rippling into being from her heart outward. Wings are not an intrinsic part of this costume, but can be materialized for dramatic purposes.

Sailor Galaxia

Name: Unknown
Age: Way too old
Favorite foods: Who knows?
Likes: Universal domination, a respectable opponent
Dislikes: "Trash" (including planets, sapients)

Planet: Lost in the early history of the universe. As a young senshi on a quest for power she discovered the Galaxy Cauldron, birthplace of all Star Seeds at the heart of the galaxy, and became Sailor Galaxia.

Senshi: Known as "the Soldier of Solitude" and "the Soldier of Destruction." Her colors are gold and, well, more gold.

In the first round of the Sailor Wars she was the only one able to defeat Chaos, sealing it inside her body. But Chaos was able to weaken the seal by taking advantage of her wish for power, and now a corrupted version of Galaxia is going on a multi-world tour, controlling or killing all the other sailors she can find and adding their Star Seeds to her collection.

Galactica Inflation! Raise arms, elbows bent, and make a grasping motion. A field of crackling dark energy will be generated, expanding outward and overwhelming everything in its path with negative power. Has enough potential power to counteract Eternal Sailor Moon's Silver Moon Crystal Power Kiss.
