1  IC / Planning and RPG News / Re: Question and Answer - What are your burning questions about Arcadia? on: February 18, 2013, 05:15:23 PM
I am pleased that there is solidarity on this >>  And Alyss and I discussed that the new powers and the compacts 'wake up' after the eight years of dormancy after Phoebe does SOMETHING in the modern day, either like, yells out for the souls of her senshi or else when she transforms into Sailor Eurydice for the first time.  That would be the first time that the current cast of senshi can access their new powers.  I think the powers in the sailor compact also 'evolve' at the same time as the senshi free powers too, also in response for a need to help the senshi remain under the radar.

So question for everyone - would you prefer Phoebe to do her thing BEFORE the game starts so everyone is pre-activated? Or would you rather have her activating everyone as maybe the first story? Just kind of wanted to see how the group felt so I know whether or not to include that in her history. Thanks! <3

HIPPOLYTA'S SENSHI.  THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION.  I've heard it implicated that Sin was actually supposed to be Sailor Hippolyta - and if that was the case, she sure as hell is not qualified for the job right now.  I am open to ideas on this one.  I personally think that we should bring in Sailor Hippolyta in the future as kind of a Green Ranger, if only because that will allow for another player slot open sometime soon.  There is also the Mithras position, who is tied to Hippolyta because his power is inherited from a military civilization that once lived there - though I hadn't been planning on giving him the starseed of Hippolyta.  I am totally up for suggestions on this cause yeah, that is a hell of an awesome plot point.

I've been mulling over this and had a potential idea - Let's go with the theory that Sin was supposed to be Sailor Hippolyta. At some point Hippolyta's starseed decided Sin wasn't the best candidate anymore, but can't go back to the galaxy caldron because Hippolyta still needs a senshi, even if the terraforming got botched. The starseed knows Sin is in no position to choose an heir (unlike Ronwy or Adelita or any of the other senshi who stayed loyal to the end - their choice rang "true") so it chooses to go back to the Platinum Crystal where it has the best chance of coming across an appropriate heir. So Phoebe is unknowingly carrying Hippolyta's starseed until it finds the right person and would transfer with(?) without(?) her knowing it. This could be what keeps her from dying when Sin rips out her Crystal - she has a hidden spare so to speak, even if she can't use it herself. That way, whenever the slot is ready to be open, it could be a little more explainable. Just a thought! ^^;

I second all of Sage's questions, especially no. 4 -- I for one think it'd be fun if the new free powers were a new thing that "evolved," but that's just me. XD I think the second part of that question, the part about the senshi compacts, ties a bit into Ingrid's question about where the compacts came from. Are they tied to the starseed somehow, and is that how they can find their way to the new senshi?

I agree with Pixie on number 4 - I think it would be neat if the free powers are a new thing that evolved out of the situation on Vega and maybe even be the starseeds' reaction to the fact that the Platinum Gnosis Crystal has been "compromised" by Sin - something that never happened to the Silver Crystal. It kind of makes sense, especially if you consider the starseeds are kind of, sort of sentient - they pick out their hosts because they resonate with the person - so maybe they can sense the Platinum Crystal isn't resonating "right" and evolved to protect themselves and their hosts. Or at least that is my thought process around the subject. ^^;;

3. Is the Platinum Crystal Phoebe's transformation item, or does she have a separate compact like Sailor Moon initially had?

If I recall correctly, Phoebe has a separate compact, though Alyss could speak to this one better of course.

Yep! Phoebe has a separate compact. I did some wiki double-checking and Sailor Moon also used a compact to transform and not the Silver Crystal. At the end of Act 14, she breaks her compact and de-transforms even though she still has the Silver Crystal. Queen Selenity gives her a new brooch, which then also houses the Crystal. It looks like the Crystals are used more to transform into Princess (or Prince) form, which would help explain why Sin's fuku looks more like a Princess form. As a side question/idea... Maybe some of the Vegan ruins are actually the former castles of the original senshi, which would allow the current senshi to transform into an Eternal form like the senshi do in the manga (way, way down the road in the game)?

1. Where did the Platinum Crystal come from?

I think it is implied in the manga and outright said in the anime that the Silver Crystal is Usagi's starseed (and the Sapphire Crystal is Galaxia's).If we decide to go with that, then the Platinum Crystal would be Phoebe's starseed. So maybe the galaxy cauldron chose Phoebe since folks from Sol were starting to terraform and populate Vega therefore those celestial bodies would need senshi once again and the Sol folks who would become "New Vegans" would be the best choice as protectors? But that is totally just my thoughts and I'd love to hear what y'all think too!      

Other questions!:

1. See Sage's questions!

2. What happened to Hippolyta's senshi? Is she/he not active because of the terraforming accident?

3. Is the Sailor Teleport still an active power? Or do they have to travel to planets using normal means?

4. Because technology plays a bigger role in Vega is magic viewed differently by Vegan citizens?

Found some neat steampunk (and maybe Coppelia?) art in the new comic Lady Mechanika:





And here is a link to some inside pages.

On the Coppelia front there are also these concept images of the sirens and Zeus from Tron Legacy.

No problem! I had thought about that too, just wanted to mainly come up with a plausible situation where some of the uninvited folks would have an easier time sneaking in. I'm fine with keeping the wedding setting and I'll start working on an opening post this week. <3
7  IC / Planning and RPG News / Re: OUR FIRST FULL CURRENT CAST STORY on: March 14, 2011, 06:19:25 AM
I'm going to throw in a suggestion here -- maybe instead of a wedding, could we use some kind of masquerade party instead? That would allow more leeway for those not officially invited to sneak in and it'll also hide the coppelia better, so Miri doesn't need to get tipsy on the job. (Plus costumes means more reason for there to be incorrect Terran symbolism). ... And it'll also keep everyone's faces from being pushed to top of Sin's Most Wanted posters if the coppelia doesn't become scrap parts because we all know in the Sailor Moon universe masks make people completely unrecognizable. XD

Just a thought! <3

YAY! Thank you! <333

And I like the Mercury Dispatch, so I'll update her profile with the name. ^_^v

I will try very hard to make it! That weekend I'll be having Adventures With In-laws, but I think they go to bed kind of early, so I can sneak on then hopefully! (Believe me - I would much, much rather be plotting with y'all so I'll do what I can to make it!) Smiley

Good news! The Adventures With In-laws has been postponed to a later date, so you can definitely count me in for plotting! <3
10  OOC / Application Drop Off / Sailor Eurydice v2.0 on: February 25, 2011, 06:45:25 PM
Making it official(!): Here is the link to version 2.0 for Sailor Eurydice. Feedback is appreciated and welcome! <3

(Also, if y'all can come up with a name for the newspaper, that would be great! ^_^v)
11  IC / Planning and RPG News / Re: Meta-Planning for Arc 1 on: February 12, 2011, 02:51:26 PM
I think -- and y'all please jump in with any corrections! -- the only big difference is that, yes, Adonis is the one that Sin captured. She is currently using Adonis as Fauxbe until she can recapture the real Phoebe. (I'm thinking that Sin has by now really started ramping up her search for the missing princess since Phoebe will be 18 in six months and she's supposed to be crowned at that time).

In turn, Phoebe has been on the run with Vaness since their escape eight years ago, posing as her cousin Mirielle. They're both boarding above the Owl & Pussycat where Vaness works at night. (And during the day the pair works at a yet-to-be-named newspaper).

I think that's about it ... Anyone else have any changes/additional details?

We definitely need people willing to band together and write stories. Plot, people, plot! Then, write!

Do you mind if we're plotting and writing before our characters are fully revised? That's the main reason I hadn't really started plotting yet ... hadn't finished fixin' up Phoebe. If you're okay with that, though, maybe we could all get together and have a plotting session? Smiley

Oooh, awesome! <3 I could see the one outfit (sans the mask) as some kind of travel outfit for Phoebe and the gown in the first pic definitely looks like something she would have worn. Though, like Sage said, Sin dressing Fauxbe (especially with the mask) would totally work too. Smiley
14  OOC / Multimedia / Re: Ingrid Still Draws Things on: January 30, 2011, 10:38:50 AM
Yay! Fabulous art from Ingrid! ^_^v So very awesome! <333
15  OOC / General Discussion / Re: ZOMG ARE THE FORUMS REALLY FIXED????? on: January 20, 2011, 07:25:05 PM
