Senshi Attributes

Transformation 3

Animal Guardian 3 - Luna

Combined Attacks 2 - can combine with up to 3 senshi.

Agility +1 - Adds 1 to her base Agility stat when transformed

Leaping 3 - 20 feet

Rejuve 5 - 50HP/EP regained

Mass Rejuve - Restores EP only to everyone in the vicinity for an amount equal to half of what Usagi can rejuve on herself. When untransformed, Usagi can use this ability only on a single target through physical contact.

Focused Combat (Senshi) - When transformed into Sailor Moon, Usagi has her CV raised by 1.

Elemental Control (Purity) 3 - Usagi is a natural enemy to all that is dark and evil in this world, having innate gifts to help her resist and defeat the most insidious of evil, and to touch the most withered of hearts. These abilities are instinctive and mysterious to Usagi, but no less effective for it.

Moon Tiara Action - Level 2 attack. 30 + ACV damage, +1 to DCV penalty, costs 20 EP

Moon Tiara Shockback - Does 0.5 damage versus successful Positive Energy Deflection, and 1.5 damage if PED roll fails. Automatic with Moon Tiara Action and Moon Crystal Tiara.

Moon Tiara Enclose - Level 2 attack. No damage, +1 to DCV penalty, costs 25 EP. Also lowers Usagi's initiative by 1 when she uses it. Ensnares target physically until they pass a body check at +2 penalty.

Moon Crystal Tiara - Level 5 attack. 120+ACV damage (grants +1 to Usagi's ACV), +2 to DCV penalty, costs 20 EP and reduces max EP by 2 permanently.

Moon Restoration - No ACV check required unless target is unwilling, then normal check. No EP cost, but each use reduces max EP by 1 permanently.

Moon Twilight Flash - Level 3 attack. 45+ACV damage, +3 to DCV penalty, costs 30 EP. Can hit groups with no penalty. At will, Usagi can choose to make this attack bright enough to stun and blind the enemy, though this reduces the destructive force. For every 20 damage it is reduced by, the target will suffer -1 to its CV for the next two rounds.

Starlight Breaker - Level 4 attack, 70+ACV damage, +4 to DCV penalty, costs 40 EP. Can not be used for half EP on successive rounds, but can be charged at no extra cost to release double/triple/quadruple damage after the requisite number of rounds.

Crystal Invocation - Usagi can call upon the Silver Crystal in conjunction with the Lunar Staff to accomplish great feats. The Staff acts as a limiter, preventing her from stretching herself too far and inflicting severe damage on herself.

Negative Energy Deflection - Any energy based attack which has an explicitly 'dark' component automatically has its damage reduced by 30 against Usagi. She can still defend normally if she chooses, and enjoy the full benefit of this ability.

Items

Disguise Pen 1 - allows dramatic cosmetic changes

Communicator 1 - allows contact with the other senshi at a distance

Lunar Staff 4 - symbol of the ruler of the Moon, this can draw on the spirit of the user to create miracles, albeit on a far lesser scale than the Silver Crystal. Required for many of Usagi's abilities.

Silver Crystal N/A - Assigning a level to this object is meaningless. It is pure plot device power.

Footnotes/Explanations
Stats:

Body - Significantly above average. Usagi is an extremely active and athletic girl. She's not particularly strong or robust, but she's insanely fast and flexible

Mind - Above average. While still occasionally ditzy, Usagi's pretty together and witty at times. Her grades are barely above average, but she's quite incisive, and particularly adept at reading people, all hinting towards a pretty decent brain underneath those blonde tresses.

Soul - World class ability. Usagi is easily discouraged on trivial things, but when push comes to shove, she has a core of pure diamond, as many a villian has discovered to their chagrin.

------
Defects:
Awkward - Poor Usagi doesn't know whether she's coming or going, some days. Which is why she tends to trip over her own feet a lot. While agile, fit, and flexible, grace is one thing that forever escapes this girl.

Phobia - Ever since she was a little girl, Usagi has been terrified of thunderstorms. They're cold and wet and loud and scary - what's to like? When one of these hits Tokyo, Usagi Tsukino is most often found shivering under her blankets with earplugs firmly in place.

Attack Gesture
If Usagi is damaged as she begins her attack(One above on initiative, or someone winning a tie thanks to circumstances or a trait), or otherwise disrupted; her attack fails. She does not lose EP from the failed attack.

Attack Phrase
Usagi shouts out her Senshi attacks for all the world to hear! If unable to do so, she cannot attack. If she can only speak normally, the GM may allow a partial powered attack at her discretion.

Item Dependancy
Without her tiara or the Lunar Staff, Usagi is bereft of all offensive potential unless she feels like using the Silver Crystal. Which is also an item.

Moon Restoration
Every time Usagi loses this ability she loses 1 point from her max EP permanently.
-----
Attributes:
Appearance - Blessed with a healthy teenage figure, Usagi is slim, trim, and with just enough fat in the right places to easily qualify as 'hot', Usagi can easily have a crowd of admirers wherever she goes. Yet more than just her physical attributes, the girl simply drips charisma without even trying (indeed it tends to work better when she doesn't) - an innate aura of wholesome goodness surrounds her, easily complimenting her carefree beauty.

Acrobatics - She might not be graceful about it, but Usagi can pull off some pretty impressive feats of acrobatics. She might not look cool while diving this way and that to avoid a youma's claws, but she can reliably expect to remain a step ahead. Just so long as she doesn't stop to think about what she's doing and why it never works in PE. That way leads to disaster.

Agility - Running to school each and every day builds strong legs. If not for her tendancy to slip and fall at the starting pistol, Usagi could have been a shoe-in for Juuban's track team. Not that she'd want to be, of course. That's too much hard work.

Art of Distraction - Not possessing a hint of shyness in her makeup, Usagi finds it fairly easy to make herself the centre of attention whenever she wants to be. And times when she doesn't want to be - do people always have to turn and look at the exact moment she falls over?

Combat Mastery - While gentle and pacifistic my nature, Usagi has been in enough life or death scrapes to learn a thing or two about when to keep her head down and when to take an opportunity to attack. She's also able to focus quite well on her goals in battle.

Focused Combat (Ranged) - Having had a lot of practice in battle as Sailor Moon, it didn't take long for Usagi to figure out that she did a lot better using her superior agility to keep distance from her enemies while blasting them with overpowered magical attacks - when you're a tiny little girl, you have to play to your strengths!

Energy Bonus - Not so much as a bonus as a desperate attempt to keep her head above water.

Evil Sense - Usagi has a rudimentary ability to sense when evil is afoot. This typically manifests as nothing more than a 'gut feeling', but is not to be underestimated.

Serenity's Blessing - A gift of energy to Sailor Moon, to strengthen her spirit for the trials ahead. +18 EP. It is the energy Queen Serenity can spare, to suffuse Sailor Moon with  even more reserves of power. With the Crystal, perhaps it shall be needed. Also a further +1 EP has been donated by Princess Serenity.

Gift of the Departed - A gift from the uncounted souls freed by the senshi's destruction of the Beast Lord, Usagi was boosted by +8 EP and +12 HP simply by being there as all those souls were finally able to pass on.

Teleportation(Serenity/other method)
Allows teleportation of Usagi and several others if she so wishes, no size restriction. The cost is 25 EP, and requires a Soul check at -4. If local modifiers do not reduce the needed number to below 11, no roll is needed. The following rules apply:
1. You can only teleport to an area you have visited personally, or been within ten feet of or so. Usagi could teleport to her bedroom but not Okinawa, for example. (Unless she's been to Okinawa, but that's here nor there!). There must be knowledge of the place.
2. If directly in the light of site of the user, it is possible to teleport to a place - Usagi could blink from one roof to another that's too far to jump across.
3. Teleporation is not foiled save by a magical field or object specifically made to counter teleporation.
4. Teleporation is generally limited to the planet or world the  player is on. Generally.
5. On appearing, no tiredness is suffered, only the EP loss. The universe does not fight back in this minor way to one that does not attack it's underpinnings.
6. More rules and notes may be applied as circumstances dictates and clarifications are needed.
7. This skill may improve over time.

Flight
Costs 15 EP to start, With this Usagi can fly, hover and levitate her body. When in affect Usagi can fly at a fairly good speed(Undefined for the exactness, but 'fast' is a good bellweather for now until it's used more and we're comfy with it.) Once started, it drains no further EP until it ends. The duration is for as long as Makoto is in the air - she can briefly touch down for a few moments, but she needs to remain up or she'll lose her focus. Flying is a partial action - it can be used as well as a full action, but imposes a -3 to her initiative.
(Flying starts on her unmodded initiative, her other action at the modded initiative.) No check is needed to start unless under some form of notable duress. (GM's discretion.) IF a check is needed, Soul is the relevant stat. As a general rule, falls last longer than a few seconds allow flying to stop them. Falling off a stepping stool probably isn't avoidable with fly to stop the whole two feet of slipping, but off a high roof is.

Animal Guardian - Luna is Usagi's faithful animal helper, whom may aid her considerably in the coming battles with advice, succor, and general item giving.

Items:

Disguise Pen - Can change Usagi's apperance or clothing. It can make her appear anywhere from 5 to 50, and change her height, weight and clothing to pretty much anything. It cannot change her gender or grant her powers beyond a temporary new look or maturity apperance. Should it come up, the Lunar Pen cannot maintain a shape past ten hours, and must rest recharge an equal amount of time. Clothing made with it does not last if seperated from Usagi.

Communicator - Allows contact with the other Senshi at any time. Does not seem to need batteries or other power. Beeps softly when being paged. Can hold conference calls, and has an emergency/locater function.

Lunar Staff - Symbol of the Moon's ruler, this is an extremely potent magical artifact in its own right. Mainly Usagi uses it as a focus for her attacks and purification abilities, it can also act as a limiter on the Silver Crystal to prevent it causing excessive damage to the wielder.

Silver Crystal - Greatest artifact of the Moon, and perhaps even the galaxy. The Silver Crystal has effectively unlimited power, although it feeds on the life force of its wielder at a brutal rate, oftentimes imposing other more 'poetic' penalties for its use. Nonetheless, when armed with the Silver Crystal, Usagi can effectively be unto a Goddess, if only for brief periods.

Description

Usagi is a petite girl, yet well formed enough that she's unlikely to be mistaken for a someone younger - her short stature is appropriately proportioned with feminine curves, and she's shed enough baby fat to give her face a more mature definition. Her figure isn't especially a knockout one, though - she trades more on her lithe and toned form than having busty curves, but what she does have is respectable for her age.

That said, Usagi does tend to favour more conservative and unflattering clothes, of late. Not just due to it being Winter, but her confidence did take a recent knock with the ending of her last serious relationship. As she's not looking to attract a new partner at the moment, Usagi feels little need to show off, and is more comfortable in demure outfits. Serenity's influence is also a notable factor in her fashion choices.

Typically she wears her knee-length blonde hair in its longstanding odango style - it's really the best way to keep it out of her way without cutting it, and it does look cute. However, she has been known to restyle it from time to time, but these changes are always just temporary.



Family history
Both of Usagi's parents have lived in Tokyo their whole lives. Ikkuko Yamada was an only child, growing up in a small apartment with her widowed mother, her fondest wish was to live in a big house with a large family. Getting a job as a junior secretary fresh out of junior high at the Tokyo Times, she worked there for a few years before meeting freelance photographer, Kenji Tsukino. The two hit it off right from the start, and were married within a year, just a few weeks before Ikkuko's mother passed on.

Living in an apartment for the beginning of their marriage, Kenji got a permanent job with a high society fashion magazine on the very same day that Ikkuko discovered she was pregnant with Usagi. Flush with the income from Kenji's new job, and a little help from Kenji's parents and elder brother, the pair moved into a nice house in Juuban while Ikkuko quit her job to devote herself as a full time housewife - a prospect she couldn't be happier about.

Kenji himself came from a decently well off middle class family, middle of three children. His brother Ekichi is a few years older, and a family man who runs a successful auto repair shop in Nerima, with his wife and twin daughters. His little sister Yomiko is the baby of the family, only in her mid twenties and an elementary school teacher in Juuban. Usagi knows the rest of her family fairly well, and looks up to both auntie Yomiko and her two older cousins (even though she's starting to pay attention when the other adults worry about Yomiko turning into an old maid).

Ayane Tsukino - Grandmother
Hiro Tsukino - Grandfather

Ekichi Tsukino - Uncle
Masato Tsukino - Aunt (Ekichi's wife)
Noriko Tsukino - Cousin
Kazumi Tsukino - Cousin

Friends
Naru Osaka - Usagi's best friend ever since pre-school, Naru often serves as a restraining influence on some of the blonde's excesses, but generally she's quite content to go along with anything her fun-loving friend has in mind. At least now she doesn't have to put up with Usagi begging to copy her homework quite as much, even if it does happen on occassion, Usagi is able to return the favour from time to time as well.

Unazuki Furuhata - Motoki's 18 year old sister attends T*A Academy and works part time at her parent's arcade, and more often, at the ice cream parlour on the second floor. She's a friendly girl, if somewhat prone to overdramatic fits, and initially saw Usagi as nothing more than a source of amusement to tease her brother with. But after actually talking to her, they formed a fast friendship, and Unazuki revels in playing the 'wise big sister' role, despite the fact that she hasn't gotten much farther than Usagi has herself.

Usagi Tsukino's boyfriend roundup!

These are all the 'serious' boyfriends Usagi's had between arcs 1 and 2. She'll have had more dates here and there, but these are the ones that lasted past that stage. Just bare bones descriptions since she hardly interacts with any of them anymore.

Kaneda Mitsu - Sometime around the later part of the year arc 1 took place in. In the year above Usagi at Juuban and a cool delinquent type guy. Dated for a couple of months, but was a bit too forward for her liking, leading to Usagi dumping him.

Koizumi Itsuki - Summer of the 'middle' year. Prettyboy transfer student (think Koizumi from Haruhi). Dated for about half a year and got moderately serious. They drifted apart as young love typically wanes and loses its ardour. No hard feelings on either side.

Ataru Nagoyashi - Start of first year of high school. Typical vaguely lecherous slacker type with an appeal that somehow only Usagi could see. Dated for a few months before his parents sprung an arranged marriage on him. Usagi only found out the following day, after his new fiancee had had her way with him. Very nasty breakup for all involved.

Excercising Elemental Control

I decided it might be a good idea to keep a list of all the uses Usagi has for her Elemental Control in one place, easily accessible by player and GM alike. This list will be updated from time to time as my creativity allows, and also to move abilities from the second section into the first.

I'll only use this to list specifi EC abilities of the 'use 5 EP and make a soul check' type. Related abilities such as 'sensitivity to evil' won't be listed, here, as they count as seperate attributes.


Abilities Usagi has used

Aura of Serenity

Usagi's such a nice girl. So charming and delightfully earnest, who could want to commit violence upon her?

Surprisingly, quite a lot of people, actually. But she can at least make it difficult for them. When in such a state as to radiate palpable niceness, even the coldest of hearts finds it difficult to avoid holding back just a little, no matter how determined to inflict pain.

When this is in effect, everyone around Usagi suffers a penalty to their ACV equal to her Elemental Control stat. Furthermore, any lethal blow will have its damage automatically reduced to non fatal levels unless the attacker passes a soul check.

This effect is constant so long as Usagi is herself inoffensive. Should she be an active participant in combat, it is negated completely - nobody likes a hypocrite.


Purity of Purpose

With a focused mind and determined heart, anything is possible!

By use of this ability, Usagi can instill a sublime confidence and resolved determination into someone for the purpose of attaining a specific goal. The power only affects someone who already has an earnest desire to achieve the given result - she can't use it to give herself a boost on a test she hasn't studied for and doesn't care about, for example.

In game terms, the effect bestows a stat bonus equal to her Elemental Control level to any stat check related to a specific goal. For example, were Usagi to become dedicated to scholarship by some bizarre turn of events, it would give her a boost to her body check as she sprints to school so as not to be late, and then provide a bonus to mind when she gets to actual studying, and even a bonus to her soul stat to ignore if she's checked against any distractions to her learning.

Such focus comes with a price, however. The person will find themselves so distracted by the focus of their purpose that all stat checks not related to their goal will suffer a corresponding penalty equal to the earlier bonus. In the above example, Usagi would get a penalty to her body check while playing softball in PE, that day, a penalty to her mind check if Naru were to pose some random puzzle to her between classes not related to her studies, and a penalty to her soul stat when trying to rejuve before fighting the youma that suddenly appeared on her way home.

The bonus/penalty only applies to the three main stats, with no effect on ACV or DCV. If used on someone besides Usagi, then can resist the effect without having to make any kind of check - it only works if you're willing. Once applied, it can be maintained indefinitely, but takes an hour for the effect to disappear after the character wishes to stop.


Potential abilities (pending GM approval)



Cleansing Mind

A person's thoughts should always be their own, except when magic screws things up.

When someone suffers the effects of a mind control spell, whether to obscure through illusions or directly control the poor subject as a puppet, Usagi is there to save the day!

Fairly straightforward, it simply removes any foreign influence on the person's thinking. No more, no less.


Panacea

Medical school is for suckers!

While incapable of treating symptoms, Usagi can root out the cause of an ailment with uncanny skill. While it rarely results in instant recovery, as magical healing might, it will aid rapid long term healing and definitely prevent any worsening of a condition.

At her current level, Usagi is capable of purifying poisons and treating low grade infections and viruses. Indeed, she can even cure the common cold!

As far as non-magical ailments go, she can purify any poison in existence, no matter how fatal - of course, speed is of the essence with many of these, and irreperable damage may already have been done by the time she gets to it. For diseases, she can treat any non-fatal illness easily enough. Potentially fatal ailments that respond well to conventional treatment (such as gangrene, for example) will also alleviate under her care. The likes of cancer and ebola are completely beyond her current level, however.

Any magical poison or disease is considered on a case by case basis, the skill of the creater compared with Usagi's skill via opposed stat checks.
