* Queen Serenity, grief stricken by the loss of her daughter and the mass loss of life, as well as the danger of Metallia, ordered the Outer Senshi, who guarded the outer rim of the Silver Millennium from outside threats, to summon Sailor Saturn to do her duty as she who ends life and initiates rebirth.

* Sailor Saturn, at the command of her queen, caused the destruction of the old universe and the creation of a new one, where in which life was reborn and able to continue on into the future. This life was reborn with two new limitations, caused by the imperfect nature of the wish Queen Serenity made using Princess Serenity’s Silver Crystal: the Veil, which prevents those without either magic, sensitivity, or an awareness of magic from acknowledging its presence, and the Fade, the mysterious force by which magical beings typically lose their powers upon reaching maturity.

Latest revision as of 02:02, 2 January 2025

As the Sailor Moon series has a variety of takes on the canon series, including the Manga, 90s anime, Crystal anime, live action series, and a variety of musicals, on July 29th, 2023, the Sailor Moon cast here on Radiant MUSH met to establish the base points canonical to Radiant Heart Mush's take on the Sailor Moon origin.

All who are interested in joining the Sailor Moon origin, be it as Canon Characters or Original Characters, are advised to read this document.

Silver Millennium

The era in which the Silver Millennium existed may be gone, but the aftereffects still haunt the current cast. Scenes which involve or take place in this era should take note of the following:

  • An era which took place far before recorded history, at a time when the Sol System was inhabited by many life forms. Queen Serenity was the ruler of a magically advanced Kingdom, consisting of all the planets in the Sol System except for the Earth. Queen Serenity ruled singularly; her daughter Princess Serenity (Serenity II) was the heir apparent to the kingdom. Queen Serenity was capable of harnessing the power of the Silver Crystal/Maboroshi no Ginzuishou for incredible feats of unbelievable power.
  • The people of the Silver Millennium were forbidden to contact the people of Earth, as the Earth was a less developed planet. On the Earth existed the Golden Kingdom, a central power where Prince Endymion, bearer of the Golden Crystal, resided. Prince Endymion’s four guardians were the Shitennou, consisting of Jadeite, Nephrite, Zoisite, and Kunzite.
  • Princess Serenity and Prince Endymion had a star-crossed love, the pair frequently sneaking from the Moon to the Earth and vice verse to see each other. Beryl, a servant in Prince Endymion’s palace, was madly in love with the prince, and offered herself to Metallia in exchange for power. Through means known only to Beryl and the Shitennou, she swayed them to her side, and the Shitennou joined the Dark Kingdom. Metallia’s influence, wielded by Beryl, turned the people of Earth against Endymion and the Moon Kingdom. In a devastating attack, Beryl killed Prince Endymion as he protected Serenity. Serenity, in her grief and horror, took her own life. Sailor Venus killed Beryl shortly thereafter.
  • Queen Serenity, grief stricken by the loss of her daughter and the mass loss of life, as well as the danger of Metallia, ordered the Outer Senshi, who guarded the outer rim of the Silver Millennium from outside threats, to summon Sailor Saturn to do her duty as she who ends life and initiates rebirth. As Saturn’s glaive fell, Queen Serenity used the power of the Silver Crystal to wish for her daughter and her court (the Senshi) (and also everyone else lost in the violence, she guesses) to be reincarnated in peaceful times in the future. In the process, she sealed away Metallia.
  • Sailor Saturn, at the command of her queen, caused the destruction of the old universe and the creation of a new one, where in which life was reborn and able to continue on into the future. This life was reborn with two new limitations, caused by the imperfect nature of the wish Queen Serenity made using Princess Serenity’s Silver Crystal: the Veil, which prevents those without either magic, sensitivity, or an awareness of magic from acknowledging its presence, and the Fade, the mysterious force by which magical beings typically lose their powers upon reaching maturity.
  • The Dark Kingdom, located in an area of the Dusk Zone connected to the catacombs of Paris, has been completely destroyed.
  1. Note to those interested in OC Senshi: if you would like to app OC Senshi who did not live a life in Silver Millennium and are on their first go around, please be sure that your chosen celestial body does not already have a Senshi or have special relevance in Sailor Moon, such as the castles of the Sol Senshi. Note that stars are not appropriate celestial bodies for Senshi. Reminder that the following celestial objects already have Senshi: Ceres, Vesta, Juno, and Pallas.
  2. Second note to those interested in OC Senshi: As the ancient history is already fixed in backgrounds of other Senshi, you may not app a Senshi who existed in the Sol System's prior Silver Millennium at this time. See Restricted and Banned Concepts.

Dark Kingdom Arc

A current arc in the Sailor Moon theme, approaching conclusion.

  • Beryl rules her Dark Kingdom from… the corporate office. Beryl Holdings are a subsidiary within Obsidian, and while Metallia is the greater evil that Beryl is beholden too, she has also pledged a degree of allegiance to Father Obsidian. The details of their arrangement are known only to Beryl and Father Obsidian. Beryl is no longer open for application.
  • Reborn in the modern time, the Sol Senshi have awakened to their power once more. Inner and Outer Senshi alike stand against the Dark Kingdom.
  • The truth of the Silver Millennium and it's ancient history has been revealed, and many of Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Kamen's friends and allies now know that they were once ancient royalty, killed along with entire societies by the power of Metallia and Beryl's alliance. The Shitennou have been freed from their bondage, and the threats of Queen Beryl and Metallia have been eliminated.

Black Moon Clan Arc

A current plot in the Sailor Moon theme.

  • The Black Moon Clan are currently in RHM Tokyo, aboard their ship. They have not allied with Obsidian, and are stand-alone enemies, seeking the Rabbit and to disrupt the future so that Crystal Tokyo cannot come to pass.
  • Crystal Tokyo is an alternate dimension/alternate timeline. It represents a singular possible future, one of a world in which the Senshi were the only magical girls to awaken. Chibiusa and the Black Moon Clan did not possess knowledge of the other magical warriors, but they have become aware of them since arriving in the past.
  • It is not commonly known that Neo Queen Serenity was once known as Usagi Tsukino, and the Black Moon Clan are not aware that Usagi Tsukino is Sailor Moon. They are aware that Sailor Moon will become Neo Queen Serenity.
  1. All Black Moon Clan members are appable! Please speak to Usagi Tsukino before apping a member of the Black Moon Clan.

Death Busters Arc

A current plot in the Sailor Moon theme.

  • This plot has been running semi-concurrently with the Dark Kingdom plot, and will begin to move as Hotaru moves along her Counter towards Mistress 9’s awakening. The Witches 5 are open for application, but are currently emitted by staff as needed for the arc.
  • The Death Busters subsidiary within Obsidian is known as Tomoe LifeScience. Dr. Tomoe is the leader, though Kaolinite has become exceptionally close to him recently, much to the disapproval of his daughter Hotaru.
  • Cyprine was slain by Mistress 9 in an early awakening, the aftermath of which allowed Riventon to begin obtaining more prestige within Obsidian before he was diverted from Tomoe LifeScience to Beryl Holdings.
  • Following another awakening of Mistress 9's power, Hotaru Tomoe fled Obsidian and her father, taking refuge with various characters before coming to her current residence with the Outer Senshi. The risk of Sailor Saturn is currently known to the Senshi and Shitennou, though few have guessed that Hotaru Tomoe is the unawakened Senshi. She currently acts under the guise of Sailor Charon.
  • Tomoe LifeScience is hunting for her. All within Obsidian who catch news of her whereabouts are expected to report in.

Dream Arc

  • Will be run after the BMC and DB arcs are concluded.

Stars Arc

  • Characters from Sailor Moon Stars (sans Galaxia and Shadow Galactica/Sailor Animamates) are welcome, but they would need an explanation for their presence that does not include Galaxia. Sailor Galaxia and the Stars plot are too far in the late game for Radiant Heart MUSH at this time.
  • The Galaxy Cauldron is the source of all Sailor Crystals, but is not the source of all life, nor the birthplace of planets, as this too heavily interferes with other themes. All Sailor Crystals were born in the Galaxy Cauldron, and all Senshi possess a Sailor Crystal. For example, Sailor Moon’s Sailor Crystal is the Silver Crystal/Maboroshi no Ginzuishou. If a Senshi’s Sailor Crystal is stolen, they could die.
  1. Note for future Stars Arc integration: All life possesses a Star Seed, a light filled jewel (established in Sailor Moon 90s Anime Stars Season), which, when harvested, darkens, transforming the victim into a phage style MOTD. Phages can be defeated, but the star seed can only be restored when the phage is subject to purification - example, Sailor Moon’s Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss attach. Any attack with purification abilities can knock these enemies out and restore the star seed.

How Senshi Powers Work

A senshi (and I am including Shitennou and others included in the origin who aren't explicitly senshi like the Shitennou and our Naru!) get their power from a Sailor Crystal, a magical artifact that is born within them - this Sailor Crystal is their magical bond to their guardian celestial body (planet, asteroid, moon, what have you), and if destroyed or stolen away, would kill them unless extreme measures were taken (Galaxia's Theme Echoes in the Distance).

Luna knows about the Sailor Crystals, but the Senshi in general do not, as it's the sort esoteric information they might have known about in the ancient past, but not really remembered. Luna herself keeps this information quiet because she is very cautious about the information she doles out; if asked, she would share that Senshi have an in-born power source, and that once awakened, it allows them to tap into the magical connection they have to their celestial body.

Prior to awakening, the power source is inactive, and even someone scanning for one wouldn't be able to tell the difference between an ordinary civilian and someone with an unawakened Sailor Crystal. They are born, not chosen, but it's entirely possible someone could live their whole life and never awaken their power.

The Senshi's power up items and weapons are essentially a crystallization of their own power - no one crafted the Talismans or the Leaves of Oak or the Mars Arrow or any of their items - they are the embodiment of a Senshi's power made manifest. Some items are made, such as the communicators and the initial transformation items that Luna provided are examples, but even these become infused with power and start evolving on their own, like how Usagi's broach changes as she grows as a warrior. These items are simply the form that the Senshi in question gave their item (this is not a conscious process, but one that subconsciously manifests.)
