important info !
Before you get started on CMH (even after reading the plot & rules) you really need to know some of the important things about this site. Like just how high a level of AU everything is, how the main plot will be moving along, and what to keep in mind as you make your character. I'll attempt to keep this as brief and blunt as possible so you don't get too intimidated by all of the information, yes? Alright, let's begin!- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
What makes this an AU Sailor Moon site?
Several things, actually, but the important details you need to know are:
- the ages of all the senshi have been bumped up, and they are now in late high school/early college.
- instead of being introduced later on, the outer senshi are being integrated into the plot immediately.
- the generals are not automatically at queen beryl's command. they have also been reborn in human form and have to be awakened also.
- characters that were talking animals in the anime/manga are instead in human form, though they do have the option of transforming.
- the way plots are conducted don't have to be how the anime/manga conducted them. in fact, we might even scrap certain plots.
- you are allowed to make minor differences to the canon character you pick up. after all, it is your character.
What does 'awakened' mean?
When a character is awakened it means that the powers of the person they were reincarnated as come back, as well as a small amount of memories of their past lives that return bit by bit (note that the amount of memories that come back to them do not tell them who princess serenity really is). Usually, in order to be awakened, a character must be in a high amount of danger, or in the general's cases (seeing as Beryl doesn't want to hurt them) receive an extreme memory jog. So what's behind the awakenings? Youma. Queen Beryl sends them to greet her generals, but the youma are behind the senshi awakenings in a different way. They are drawn to the powerful energy emitting from the girls that grows only more noticeable each day as the dangerous entity of the Dark Kingdom puts them in more danger, instinctively drawing the senshi out. Queen Beryl does not purposely awaken any Senshi or Senshi allies.
More awakening information:An awakening is the revival of a Senshi's, General's, and anybody else that was reborn from the Silver Millennium's powers and memories. There are two stages to an awakening. The first stage of an awakening brings back former most of the powers previously had by a character in their past life, along with flashes of memories from that past life. The second stage occurs when all of the memories from their past lives are returned to them and the character earns even more powers. Currently this is the first stage of awakenings. The second stage does not occur until Princess Serenity is located, so no need to worry about that for now. The first stage of awakenings occur in situations of high danger, particularly ones that involve the Dark Kingdom attacking directly or very near by. The more in danger the character is put in, the more the repressed past version of them self attempts to come out. Then (sometimes with assistance) they transform into their repressed form, now instinctively able to fight back with their obtained powers. Awakenings must ALWAYS take place in threads with staff members posting under the Youma account. Granted, General's awakenings do differ slightly from a Senshi's, but that will be explained directly to whoever has a general in need of an awakening.
When making my character:
As you start planning out your canon character, please, please, please, know what you're fully getting yourself into. This means that researching your character will be mandatory in order to correctly fill out your app. Also take into mind the facts listed with your canon on the canon list. These facts cannot be changed as they are connected, and sometimes even vital, to the plot. If everything is in top shape then you'll be sorted no problem!
What is the current story arch?
As of right now we are conducting the Senshi and General awakenings. This means we really need canons taken so please consider taking somebody who's needed!
