APPROVED: Hatsuko Tsukino - Sailor Moon

[Tsukino Hatsuko]

I`m still young and i`d like to stay
that way
I`ve got voice and i`ve got a lot to say

Character Name: Hatsuko Tsukino
Senshi Name:Sailor Moon
Age: 15
Birthdate:June 19th

Personality:Outer appearances can certainly be fooling, especially when it comes to Hatsuko. She seems to have a very sweet and pleasant demeanor, and at times this can be very true. However, Hatsuko can be a very stubborn and headstrong person. She tends to brush aside the gentle concerns of others in favor of her own goals. It takes the firm voice of her mother or father to get her to change her mind in many situations, and even then Hatsuko tends to put up a small fight on the issue. But of course, does not see herself as stubborn, but incredibly determined like a future leader should be.

Despite her overly determined tendencies, Hatsuko can get along with others very nicely. One would think that living in a secluded palace all your life would leave a person at a loss when it comes to social interaction. But not Hatsuko. The princess is eager to make friends, since she has only had the chance to befriended her guards Horae and Iris. Hatsuko is very outspoken when it comes to her friends, as she believes there should be no secrets or misunderstandings when it comes to friendship, or any other close bond for that matter.

Hatsuko has never been one to run away from her duties, but she often feels insecure about her future as Queen. She fears that she won’t compare at all to her mother when it comes to leading, and often finds herself wishing that she did not have such a responsibility to deal with

When Hatsuko transforms into Sailor Moon, however, her persona changes almost drastically. While she still has a few stubborn tendencies, she listens more and allows others to give her advice that she will take into consideration. In her senshi form, the urge to lead and protect others becomes stronger…but Hatsuko’s complete lack of experience makes it incredibly difficult to do so.


Physical Appearance: Unlike most, Hatsuko does not take after her parents in terms of appearance very much. From the top of her odangos, to the bottom of her feet, Hatsuko looks almost exactly like the late Neo-Queen Serenity. Her long silver tresses are fashioned in the same style as her grandmother, although Hatsuko’s are slightly shorter. Her eyes are the same red hue as her mother’s own eyes. She stands at about four feet eleven inches

Because she is the princess and next in line to the throne, Hatsuko tends to wear clothing that is slightly more elegant and formal. Long flowing dresses and colorful skirts are a frequent part of her royal attire. From time to time however, she will sport clothing that is a bit more 'normal' so to say. Denim jeans and brightly colored polo shirts seem to be a big favorite of hers.


Strengths:
-Has a very strong determination.
-She is incredibly honest
-Her parents. Not letting them down has become a big part of the drive behind her strong will.
Weaknesses:Does not take advice very well, is incredibly naive when it comes to the world outside her home, worries greatly about the future
Dreams:Hatsuko’s ultimate goal is to become a queen that everyone can rely on. As a senshi, she simply wants to be a good leader that is able to protect her comrades.
Habits:Hatsuko tends to pull on her long pony-tails repeatedly when she falls into a deep thought; which tends to happen several times a day.
Background:

Being both the daughter of a queen and a woman who had previously lost all she had loved, it is truly no wonder why Hatsuko has led such a sheltered lifestyle. Besides visiting the memorial from time to time, Hatsuko has hardly ever left the palace. Everything she has needed, whether it be a teacher or a place to play has been made available to her in the palace. Many times the urge to see what was outside the beautiful crystal walls of her home entered Hatsuko’s mind, but out of respect and love for her mother and father, she resisted, and continued to live her reclusive life.

However she has often wondered what the outside world was really like. Horae, Iris, and even her mother and father have spent long hours trying to explain some of the things that existed beyond the castle walls. Long cars that can hold over twenty people and bodies of water that were bigger than the entire city itself....those were just a few of the things that Hatsuko learned about, and never knew actually existed. After all, her entire world was lived within the palace.

While growing up, the princess' main source of entertainment was listening to her parents talk and reminisce about years long ago. It was through story-telling that Hatsuko learned of both the outside world and the death of all the senshi before her. Through the words of her Mother she got to know the previous generation as if she was fighting battles with them, or spending fun times with them. Hatsuko came to respect and love for the people she would never have the pleasure to know.

It wasn’t until the age of fourteen did that all begin to change. The powers sleeping within Hatsuko awoke upon her fourteenth birthday. Along with several other girls in her age group, she learned that she would be receiving the powers of the preceding generation. The reason for the awakening, however, was completely lost to her.

The Senshi Side of Life

Transformation Phrase:”Moon Power, MAKE UP!”
Elemental Power: Purity
Uniform Description:Sailor Moon’s fuku consists of an all white bodice along with a light slat blue skirt and matching collar. Upon the blue hued collar are two white stripes running from one side and all the way to the other. The heels upon her feet and rings at the end of her white sleeves are the same color as her skirt. Upon her chest,and at the base of her back, is a pink colored ribbon which supports her transformation brooch. The brooch itself is red and outlined with gold. In the center of the heart shaped brooch is three golden stars set into a triangular form.
Attack Name:Bunny Bomb
Description of Attack: With a confident smile gracing her lips, Sailor Moon thrusts her left hand up in the air with her palm facing the sky. Almost instantly, in a puff of gray smoke, a small explosive device in the shape of a rabbit head appears in her upturned hand. Assuming the stance of a baseball pitcher, she prepares to throw the explosive device at the enemy. If it hits, the rabbit shaped bomb will explode on impact casing a small cloud of smoke and sparkling dust to envelop the enemy. The force o the bomb is not incredibly strong, and at best may cause one to lose their balance for a moment. On the other hand, the deadly dust has the power to purify evil doers in the explosion, and leave stronger enemies sneezing and coughing. However, more often than not this attack will back fire on the senshi in training, and she will end up being enveloped in smoke and dust instead of the enemy

Roleplaying Sample:

Deep red eyes stared up silently at the statues of the late king and Queen of crystal Tokyo. Even in their gray stone form, they looked absolutely stunning and magical. Hatsuko couldn’t help but wonder what it would have been like if the two of them had lived. Would her grandfather chase her around the palace like her father did? Would she be able to sit next to her grandmother, listening to all the wonderful stories she had to tell? The princess bit down softly on her lower lip as she pondered the questions that would never be answered.

She sighed a long sigh before her gaze finally shifted over to the other statues that stared down at her with their watchful eyes. So many people had been lost in that attack…so many loved ones. Hatsuko softly shook her head as her hands ran over her silver colored tresses over and over again. There was nothing she could do for them now. All she could do is live her life in a way that would make them proud. Off in the distance, she could hear the tiny voice of her escort calling to her from the bottom of the steps. “Goodbye everyone” Hatsuko muttered softly before turned on her heel and made her way back down the steps.

Hi Cia!

The Sailor Moon role is considered one of the several few positions that I particularly pay attention to the most. This is because I need to make sure that not only the character can take on the mantle of a leadership position, but the player as well. So as I go through this application with you I will be looking for signs of that pro-active mentality to push the game forward.

Let’s begin!

Image: This is ADORABLE! If you’re able to, Sailor Moon actually has two stripes on her collar instead of one. A fix would be appreciated if possible. Otherwise, she’s very cute! I like the stylizing in her locket!

Personality: I really like this headstrong girl. Seems to me that she’s going to get herself into a lot of trouble and Horae is going to have his / her hands full if we end up getting one to follow her around. Which reminds me; you have two Star Sworn Knights as your personal bodyguards that tend to follow you everywhere. Even though we do not have players for them at this particular point in time, you’ll want to elude to them every once in a while for consistency once they do come into play.

I also like the fact that you separate “Princess Hatsuko” from “Sailor Moon” in personality. This will be quite interesting to see in-game. My only concern is when Hatsuko is her usual self; you say she’s a bit more reserved around people until she opens up to them. A lot of our senshi will have their walls and discomforts. As a lead role, it’s partially your task to break down the barriers to bring a sense of teamwork. If Hatsuko is reserved, this means things will take a lot longer to solidify relationships. If I were cooped up in a palace all the time and managed to break free…I’d be jumping all over everyone in complete curiosity. Yet, you have her pulling back for the most part and with such a stalwart personality I wonder why you went down this path. To what circumstances is she reserved? How long does it take for her to open up and trust people?

Otherwise this section is really well written, I like it!

Personal Appearances: Are the royal garments always her personal style of choice? It might actually be really humorous to see her be so out of her element when she’s out and about in the city. I can just imagine people freaking out a little that the princess is all decked out in royal attire walking up and down the streets of Shibuya. Talk about a shocking situation!

Strengths: Looks like you forgot to finish this sentence; I look forward to seeing what you write about her parents.

Background: This background is pretty basic, but seems a little lacking. Why is Hatsuko so respectful? What makes her feel this way and not be a rebellious princess type? Since she’s so sheltered, what activities does she partake in within the castle and what is her outside impression of the world? Remember in Disney’s The Little Mermaid how Ariel took the advice of the seagull and thought a fork was a “dinglehopper” that you combed your hair with? Perhaps you can perform little exaggerations so that she has some misconceptions of the world if you are keeping her cooped up in the castle so much.

Does she have any outsider friends that come to visit her? Who ends up ultimately being her main circle of friends within the castle?

Hatsuko lives a whole different lifestyle on the border of being downright sheltered away from the world. So her perspectives are going to be vastly different from the rest of the cast, and this can play out to a very interesting advantage.

Attack: The Bunny Bomb attack is downright adorable. The manner in which it’s executed is also wonderfully fantastic. My only concern is that this seems to be more of a status effect attack and, in the event she comes across a henchman, might not be able to “purify” the monster by herself. Sailor Moon’s powers are based on purity and are ultimately the saving grace attack that vanquishes evil. Right now she’s only pulling out status effects with no purification process to vanquish with. Does this mean you want to combine your attacks with some of the other senshi to perform this process? A bit of tweaking on its effects will help out greatly for you in the long run here.

Role Play Sample: This is very good, very nostalgic. Is there a reason as to why she’s so respectful to the dead senshi that she never knew? I’m sure that when you add in some more background information this question will end up answered along the way.

OVERALL – Accepted with Revisions

You’ve got a good character here, and I see her leadership qualities loud and clear. Just hesitant on the whole “Reserved until she gets to know you better” part since that might end up being more of a blockade for you when trying to pull together the other senshi. But otherwise some additional background on her history and I think you’re good to go!

EDIT: Make any revisions to your first post and then respond back to let us know when you're ready for us to take a look at it!
