Please be advised the following:
We game to be social. We game to be a part of something bigger. Without a horde of NPCs to hide behind the game is going to be very close and very intimate and very, very boring if you do not go talk and play with others.
What if…
What if the Sailor Moon Manga was an “origin” point? What would happen if many characters across many different “dimensions” came to the Galaxy Cauldron at once to begin a new world? Would they fight for the side of good? For evil? Who decides?
The Promise of the Rose is going to explore those questions. The Galaxy Cauldron in Sailor Moon was a place of rebirth and beginnings, an origin for all the stories that come outward and return to it when they die to be reborn and created again. It is a place outside of time, outside of space. Those who have strong enough star seeds (souls of sorts) are drawn here once more to create a new reality, a new vision of what might be and what will be.
Characters can be old characters from other games that never reached their full potential or have something still to say but could not fit in “other games” because they had memories no one else had. We cannot promise old faces will be around in our game, but we can at least give you a chance to play out those characters one more time. Characters must have strong enough star seeds and must be associated to planetary energy in one way or another. (For example, Beryl is evil, but she’s also associated with Earth. Diamond is associated with the Moon, and so too are most of the Dead Moon Clan under Nehellenna. Even though they are all corrupted by Chaos for the most part. Likewise- Sailor Moon and the Sailor Senshi are all able to be corrupted by evil (chaos) and still are attached to their planets even if they associate themselves with Chaos/Dark energy.)
Note, if you’re new to sailor moon, or have not a darn clue what’s going on, that’s okay too. But it’s not that hard to pick up a manga copy of the storyline, or even watch the new sailor moon crystal which covers (and is pretty close) to the manga and just as condensed. (the original anime has a lot of filler.) The staff, and fellow players, will happily help you out on what your missing and you can pick up clues to your “past” life as you go through. But we do ask you at least ‘attempt’ to try to know something about sailor moon- even if it’s just reading the Wikipedia…) It’s entirely possible in your character’s world they never had an attempt to be awoken as a sailor senshi or knight before they were killed after all!
We ask that every character have a starting canon origin, even if they are their own person and reincarnation- but that they have a seed or a tie to the origin world. There are many, many characters in Sailor Moon that are potential grabs for people to play. We also are allowing up to 4 of any of the main characters (Sailor Senshi/ Guardian Knights) and 2 of the minor characters (People who only featured for one season—with the exception of the knights.) We also have “canon” options from one of the previous games, which is the Solar Knight/Senshi and the outer knights- who all have “origin” stories too with the solar millennium for those who would prefer to play something a little off the cuff. – You can find more information on this in the Character Canon list.
We will be using BESM 2nd edition and Sailor Moon RPG for our system. All characters start at level 1 because they were just reborn- and by the end of the four months almost everyone should be powered up to level 2. If we continue they should be entering the third power up by Mid-May, early June. House Rules and other information can be found on crystalcities.soulshaven.net (Villain/Chaos energy corruption are coming by Nov 28 if not sooner)
Players will be fundamental in answering the following questions after four months:
Characters will decide in character if they will be good or evil, having spent four months getting to know their peers in the galaxy cauldron.
Characters will decide, as a majority, which era to travel to begin anew having seen parts of all four during the course of the game.
There will be an overarching story plot to follow or explore- by exploring the areas and making choices. You can also spend your entire four months plotting evilly in your lair and ignoring the outside world, or praying for goodness and purity in the moon tower. It’d be pretty boring, but I won’t stop you from doing it.
Players can play up to 4 characters. Players can only play 1 character from each planet. (Knight/Senshi/Villain/Guardian, you only get one per planet!)
Final note:
For the Four months (December 1st to April 1st) there is no death. All threads will be ended on April 1st regardless of how kick ass they were. Until then the time stream is all funked up. It’s up to the players to try to keep times straight and if something crosses, well, blame it on the funky way time works! There’s no “strict” timeline for our game.
Players can be corrupted by chaos energy or be purified of it. This is denoted by “Touched bY Chaos and Touched by Positive energy” There are “3” steps of purification for our game and players are expected to play it through. If your grown up enough to play in our game your grown up enough to roll with what the world tosses your way. If your character gets corrupted or purified then your expected to play it out accordingly. After all, ultimately, it will be up to the character on April 1st if they will remain a villain or hero.
