Senshi - Civilian - Character Notes

REFERENCE

Senshi Name: Persephone
Senshi Title: SailorCeres
Senshi Type: Planetary/Royal
Realm of Influence: Corruption and Discord
Symbol: An inverted teardrop with three small dots at its point.

Starseed:
Colors: Primary - Black, Secondary - Purple, Tertiary - Grey, Silver

Appearance: Persephone's fuku consists of a fitted, sleeveless black bodysuit with a high neck. It has a knee-length skirt, cut up the sides to the waist, which gradates from black, to grey, to purple. The back portion of Persephone's skirt is longer than the front, brushing her ankles, and is lined in deep purple. Her Sailor collar is grey, extending in the back into a cloak which reaches to the floor, and is held in place at her breast with a trio of silver orbs. The brooch sits at the center of a loop of purple cord, which goes on to wrap several times around Persephone's breasts and ribcage. A larger, tri-lobed bow, which has two ankle-length tails with dangling tassels, sits at the small of her back. Persephone has no tiara; instead, in the center of her forehead, the royal mark of Ceres appears, in purple. She wears no jewelry aside from a pair of amethyst earrings worked into the Ceresian crest, and a set of polished silver shackles and neck collar.

Weapons: The Sibylline Scepter - A staff approximately five feet in length, worked entirely in silver. At the top is a figure that could either be taken for a stylized ankh or a broken infinity loop, inside which is set a large, round amethyst stone. The Scepter's base sports a small, sharp spearhead. Once a powerful relic held by the royal family of Ceres, the Scepter had the ability to focus the power or energy of whoever touched it, and to make predictions pertaining to that person. At present, no one knows if it can still perform in this manner.

Attacks:

    "Chaos Shroud": Draws in all light in the immediate area, causing darkness. Used to limit visibility.
    "Death's Kiss": Persephone kisses her victim, drawing the life force out of them. If the Kiss isn't interrupted, it can eventually result in death.
    "Divine Severance": Shatters the bonds between friends, lovers, partners, teammates and families, causing discord. Used to turn opponents against each other, and can be broken when one or more of its victims realize what's going on.
    "Chaos Seed": Embeds small shards of Chaos within an opponent's body, causing slow corruption. This can be reversed if caught quickly.
    "Chaos Blight": An attack with Persephone's scepter; causes corruption. Much faster than Chaos Seed.

Vulnerabilities: Perception of love – being young and somewhat naïve, Persephone easily becomes infatuated.


Senshi History: Formerly the Princess and Senshi of Ceres, which orbited between Mars and Jupiter during the Silver Millennium, Persephone was seduced and corrupted by her Consort, a man named Caspar. She led the forces of Ceres in an abortive attack on the Moon Kingdom, which resulted in the planet's destruction and the banishment of her Starseed beyond the WorldGate. Persephone was eventually reborn in the dimensional Hub of Canyon's Edge, where she encountered the crazy yet charismatic Dark Traveller and then the mysterious Sammael.

Sammael quickly recognized Persephone and reclaimed her for his own, feeding her heavily-doctored versions of the events in her past life. Persephone accepted these memories as real, and now fully embraces the darkness of Chaos, seeking revenge against Serenity and even SailorDís for perceived injustices, including the destruction of Ceres.

Name: Lillis o Erinios
Age: 16
Height: 5'3", skinny.
Skin: Caucasian, pale.
Eyes: Dark red-violet
Hair: Blue-black, completely straight, hanging just past her shoulders when loose. Lillis has flyaway bangs which partially cover the sides of her forehead. In Senshi form, the majority of her hair is pulled up in a double loop at the back of her head, with the remainder left loose and fanning out to either side.
Distinguishing Features: Lillis is coltishly thin, in the way of girls caught in that in-between stage of development, having lost her baby fat, but without any adult development as yet. She seems to come by her extreme pallor naturally, but some find it odd that she never tans or burns. Like Isis, Lillis retains part of her royal marking in civilian form; an inverted purple teardrop.

Dream: To avenge herself upon Serenity, resurrect her people and recreate her kingdom. Lillis wants it all - revenge, the rebirth of her home world, and a little romance. Not a lot of this is possible.

Personality: Lillis has the bad fortune to be younger than the rest of the Senshi she "leads" and takes herself far too seriously, as only a teenager can, tending to be overly emotional at all the wrong times, over all the wrong things. She is continually irked by the way the others treat her and the fact that her orders carry no weight unless backed by a higher authority. She seems to wear a perpetual frown or pout, and has a short temper. She also has a tendency to try and shock people, enjoying the attention it earns her.

Notes

Ceres: Persephone's home world is based, as I believe a number of "lost" Senshi have been, on an actual stellar body. In this case, the famous asteroid belt is all that's left of Ceres. If Persephone were to have any chance of rebuilding the planet itself, she'd have to start with that moon.
