GIVE SADNESS A SAILOR SMILE
Are you hearing me? Can you hear me?
Everything we said, everything we made turned into a song for you.
BRING A MIRACLE, A SAILOR WING
Character Name: Wakana, Hibiki
Name Meaning: Echo of Harmonious Music
Senshi/Shitennou Name: Sailor Pallas
Age: 18
Birthdate:June 2nd. Gemini sign of Air ruled by Mercury.
EVERYONE CARRIES A SHINING STAR
Personality: Hibiki seems to be PallaPalla reincarnated into a whole new body with her playful attitude and a care-free outlook on life. Everything is a game and she’s all for playing! The perky personality of Hibiki can become grating to those not accustomed to it and she is prone to wandering attentions. If something really grabs her attention and appeals to her nature, Hibiki will fixate on this until she tackles what is in front of her. Sadly, she is prone to waste all of that energy on beating the latest video game, coding out bothersome programs, twisting up an electronic song or getting her hands on the latest bit of technology. Hibiki is a technophile to the extreme and is prone to ogle over gadgets as some males would a tantalizing female. She jumps all over the latest gadgets that are released on the market, prone to wasting her money on such things to stay current.
Hibiki has no problem with making casual friends among her peers online or offline, but she has never felt the urge to fully open up to any one individual. Rather she is in the mindset that a large crowd of casual friends will always beat out a single soul that could possibly know too much. This is not due to any great betrayal in Hibiki's past; it's just that Hibiki has never kept herself anchored in one steady group. No one has really touched her enough to keep the girl's attention grounded. Hibiki keeps this trend over to any boy she casually dates as well, leaving her in a current single state that she is indifferent to.
Taking after her name, Hibiki morphs her love of electronics and technology to put it toward a musical use by mixing up her own tunes and recordings. She has a natural talent for creating Electronica and dance mixes that reflect her upbeat personality and has even gained notoriety from the local dance scene. Her older brother, Naaji has even given her a weekly spot to DJ at the Dance Club he manages near the Crown Karaoke building. In-front of her laptop, equipment, and turntables is where Hibiki feels truly alive and connected to the world around her as she mixes out beats that get the crowds moving. Taking from the dance culture she embraces, Hibiki has a bit of a Raver mindset for she is into all of that Peace, Love, Unity and Respect jazz.
Physical Appearance: Bright blue eyes with a heart shaped face that gives the appearance of one younger than her age are accented by a slightly pale complexion. She keeps her strawberry blonde, almost orange-tinted hair done up in odd ‘half’ pigtails she holds in place with multiple hair clips at the back of her head. The effect is a playful and bouncy style just as perky as Hibiki. One can tell her mood if she actually has her hair up in this style. A lazier Hibiki will just pull her hair into high pigtails, and a really down Hibiki will just let her hair hang loose down her back. She ranges on the short side for a Japanese girl at 4’ 8”, body built lean with not enough muscle typical of one who dances too much and eats next to nothing healthy.
Strengths: Being a playful and outgoing soul leads Hibiki to adapt and mesh in any environment she finds herself in. Hibiki also has a knack for mastering any computer system, program or electronic device set in front of her due to limitless curiosity on how things work. Boundless energy seems to persist through the girl that may be due to all the caffeine and sweets she downs. Her Senshi powers have recently cropped up in the form of excellent balance for Hibiki. She seems to always land on her feet no matter the fall and can balance any sort of odd shaped object unconsciously. Comically enough, if you point out this odd talent to her, she’s prone to drop whatever she happens to be holding that drew attention in the first place.
Weaknesses: Due to her personality, plenty of people can quickly become irate at the overly hyper Hibiki and plenty have rejected her for this fact alone. Sadly, Hibiki doesn't pick on the social cues of others that well and this has led to many a ruined friendship. Restless and easily distracted, Hibiki has a horribly wandering mind and lacks true focus on anything beyond herself. Hibiki is also prone to never take a situation as a serious, no matter the danger. She childishly assumes that the good guys will always win; this fact is now amplified now that she knows she is a White Senshi. The good guys always win in the games she plays, so why should she worry?
Dreams: To have her music become popular and known enough to gain attention beyond the club where she plays is Hibiki's life goal. Having awakened as a Senshi now has Hibiki scrambling to find others like her. She now scours the Internet and news for any sightings of other Sailor Senshi and is even incorporating subliminal messages in her music to draw any others out to contact her.
Habits: Hibiki has a habit of fixating on one electronic object until she has completely figured it out or hacked it. She also unconsciously taps out beats with a foot or finger while thinking or musing in general. Also, anything that catches her ear or eye will get Hibiki wandering off. When upset in any form, Hibiki is prone to pick at the bracelets on her wrists.
Likes: Music in all it's forms, the latest and greatest piece of electronic equipment, owls and any associated merchandise, energy drinks, caffeinated breath mints, showing off to a crowd, flashy clothing, rainy days, a brand new video game or dancing at her brother's club when she isn't making music.
Dislikes: Gloomy people, pointless hate and violence, music without a soul, bullying, ‘black’ hackers, badly designed code, unhappy endings
History: There is nothing notable in Hibiki’s past, for she has lived an average life in Crystal Tokyo with her family. Her father, Senichi is a well enough off businessman who works for a generically generic company with connections to the states. They make cell phones or some such thing. Hibiki never cared much for the details and her father was not much on sharing. Friends point out that this may be the origin of Hibiki’s love of electronics. Her mother was once a one hit wonder pop sensation in her youth, but that glamour has long since faded and now Chizu contents herself with the job of a house wife. Hibiki was born their second child and first girl having Naaji as her older brother of four years.
Currently, Hibiki has taken up residence with her older brother while she goes to High School. Her technological and gaming obsessions have run out her parent’s patience, and her brother’s home happens to be far closer to her new school. It’s a win, win situation on Hibiki’s eyes. She gets to stay up into the wee hours of the night playing the latest MMO, or out at her brother’s club. She now works at the Crown Royal Dance Club to help support her living expenses, recreational expenses and pay rent with Naaji. They live in a modest two bedroom apartment a block away from the local high school and the club they both work at.
The most interesting thing to happen in all of Hibiki’s life would be the discovery that she is a Sailor Senshi. The powers began to manifest when she was sixteen years of age in unusually precise balancing abilities that the clumsy teenager was nowhere near before. The young Hibiki took it in stride, applying her newfound balance to mastering the Para Para dance games in the arcade, rather than anything really useful for her talent.
Soon Hibiki found a swelling of power within that she could not put a name to, a need that her pleasure filled life did not yield. She converted her computer know-how into hacking up systems for some ‘grey hat’ hacking, for the common good you know. The need to help was quelled for a while as she sniffed out online predators and DSS hacked down sites she viewed as abominations to morality. Even that provided not to be enough and Hibiki’s first transformation happened in a moment of extreme euphoria at her own brother’s club, rather than a moment of panic or need. She now has discovered the hidden away powers of Sailor Pallas and has the goal of finding her fellows in mind. She’s a real magical girl, just like in her favorite manga!
TO TOMORROW, A SAILOR YELL
Elemental Power: Sound and Balance
Transformation Sequence: Hibiki raises her arm in the air calling out, "Pallas Asteroid Power, Make-Up!" A sudden flash of aqua blue comes over her form, shimmering away her normal clothing leaving a sparkling aqua and cyan aura around her body as she drops her arms to cross over her chest. A spray of raindrops burst in a shimmering haze above her as she tilts her head back. A chiming sound echos with the drops as they all stop in mid-air to shiver in place, the sounds seeming to be coming from the vibrating drops. A large drop sinks to balance in the middle of her forehead, spreading out to solidify into an aqua blue gem, the gold tiara forming to encase it a moment later. Ribbons of blue sheath her body as she spreads her arms out once more, Her fuku solidifies as the last of the rain mists away. Hibiki strikes a dramatic pose, V-sign against her cheek and the other hand resting on her hip with a bright grin on her face.
Special Items: Gem Henshin Bracelet: Blue beaded trinket bracelet Hibiki now always wears. It has one owl trinket, the sign of Pallas, and a musical note dangling off of it.
Attack Name: Aegis Orb Barrage
Description of Attack: Sailor Pallas grins widely as she taps her cheek with a wink before she leaps up into the air in a flash of blue smoke with a boom akin to thunder sounding. While leaping, Sailor Pallas calls out “Aegis!” The glittering cloud of smoke dissolves in a whoosh as Sailor Pallas plummets back down to the ground once more, but now she balances atop a large blue ball. She wobbles a moment, then stands straight and shouts “Orb!” The ball bellow her gives a pulse as if being squashed from atop before Sailor Pallas hops up once more behind the ball to give it a swift kick in the direction of the enemy while shouting, "BARRAGE!" The ball pulses once more as it sails forward, popping open to reveal tons of smaller shaped balls in various sparkling blue hues. When the balls hit an enemy, they burst apart into shards of glass as well as releasing a blast of swirling blue smoke.
Since most Senshi either have a dramatic long sequence for the first time they use an attack and a short one when battles become intense. Sailor Pallas can just call out the same thing and have the ball drop from the sky before her to skip all of the dramatic jumping before kicking the ball. Depending on the force she wants or has the energy to call makes the ball size vary.
I WILL CATCH IT, THE SAILOR STAR
Your Name: Ash
Secret Phrase: Neptune Planet Power, Make Up
Roleplaying Sample: Hibiki gave a wide grin as she flicked her laptop open and gingerly set it atop the DJ desk before her, careful to not catch or tangle any of the multitude of wires that were now connected to the device. "Please hear this..." She whispered to herself as the computer's screen glowed to life before her eyes. A double click and her usual audio mixing program pops up and a quick scroll through pulls up the specific play list that could bring other Senshi to her. beyond the stage the mass of club hoppers look on with expectant faces as Hibiki pulls on a set of headphones from atop one speaker to let them hang about her neck. She reaches over to the mic and snatches it up while clicking play on a specific baseline beat. "I have a special set tonight, I call it Moonlight Destiny in honor of our Queen." Cheers rose as she leaned back from the mic and shoved the headphones over her ears. Once more she whispered, "Please hear me..." before starting up the song in full. The pulsing beat swept through the club and people were already swaying to the music as Hibiki build upon the energy of the sound.
