Sailor Tyche |
|
Name: Alida Ousias About:
Alida is a relatively laid-back person. She
enjoys meeting new people and trying new things, especially finding new
trinkets to buy (she's an acquisitive little soul). This is a bonus, since
the nature of her home planet Tethys' erratic orbit takes it to the far
reaches of the galaxy and back. Over the years, Tethys and its moon Tyche have evolved into a sort of spaceborne
trading post. Travellers from all over stop on
Tethys to find and trade supplies. Alida herself
runs a small shop that sells souvenirs and rare timepieces. Her family
doesn't think much of her choice in occupation, but that doesn't bother her
much - she's doing what she wants to. Alida came
into her Senshi power fairly early on, and had the
benefit of being trained by her grandmother before she passed away. She's
comfortable with her role in life and with her powers. Tyche is the patron Senshi of Tethys, a planetoid on the outskirts of a solar system not far from our own. Tethys' rogue orbit carried it out of its home system millennia ago, along with its asteroid-moons Tyche and Nemesis. Nemesis disappeared at the farthest point of Tethys' journey, along with Tyche's sister-Senshi Sailor Nemesis. The current Sailor Tyche is a direct descendant of the original Senshi, but has powers different from those of her ancestress. This is likely due to the loss of Sailor Nemesis, since both Senshi had served to protect Tethys as a pair. Tyche now has abilities similar to those of her lost partner, taking her from the role of a lesser Senshi to a dangerous force. The rulers of Tethys long ago decided to release their line from the "curse" of Senshi service. In attempting to destroy the Tethys Crystal, they instead split it into two separate Sailor Crystals, which became those of Tyche and Nemesis. The royal family has long since died out, but some anti-Senshi sentiment remains. The governors of Tethys appreciate Tyche's efforts to protect the planet, but don't like to deal with her in person if they can help it. Tyche prefers to stay on her asteroid, and tries to warn wandering Senshi about the social climate down below.
Senshi Name: Sailor Tyche RoI: Fate and Luck Henshin Item: An antique coin featuring her symbol (a spindle) Weapon: A staff slightly taller than she is, with a rudder blade at the bottom and a spindle at the top. Fuku Style: Non-Sol Abilities:
Tyche can deflect incoming attacks with the
rudder at the bottom of her staff. This is not recommended, as deflected
attacks tend to ricochet in completely random directions.
Notes: Tyche's original design was adopted from Sailor Nightmare at the ToT Forum. Further development came when Rikku ran a contest to "Create Your Own Olympia Senshi". The contest went pretty much nowhere, Rikku left the fandom and the forum and dropped her SM characters entirely. Her
design is currently being reworked. Her similarity in coloring to Sailor Pluto is something I didn't notice until I was finishing off her reference sheet. Skin, hair, and eye color aren't much changed from the original adopted image. I'm toying with having her be some alternate version of Pluto, but eh. |
