A. Introduction to Sailor Moon Z
Sailor Moon Z is a fanfic set in the Sailor Moon universe. It was begun way back in 1996, when the two authors, John Biles and Jeff Hosmer, got together to discuss some fanfic ideas they'd gotten for Sailor Moon and decided to pool their plans into one story. John contributed the Zodiac, while Jeff created the Jadeite plot.
Sailor Moon Z is more or less set after the end of S, although there's some problems with trying to fit them into a perfect chronology, as the theoretical time frames of S and Sailor Moon Z overlap (Z starts with New Years of the last year of junior high for the Sailors, while S ends around the end of that school year). The only solution to this contradiction is to just pretend it isn't a problem, unfortunately.
Everything from the last two seasons of Sailor Moon goes out the window for this fanfic. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, neither of us had any access to those seasons when we started the story. Secondly, they contain cosmology which would make this story impossible. Thirdly, SS had too much Chibi-Usa, and neither of us likes her. Fourthly, we felt like it. There is no Galaxia in the Sailor Moon Z universe. Never was, never will be. No Asteroid senshi, no Nephrenia, no Pegasus, etc.
Other bits of continuity may be trampled upon in this story, either deliberately or accidentally. We have freely mixed and matched elements of both the manga and anime continuities, but the fundamental core of our backstory is from the anime, which we're both more familiar with. We've taken the idea of the Sailors having been engaged to the Generals back in the Silver Millenium from the manga, and I know we've borrowed some other ideas that just won't come to mind right now.
While Jeff is not addicted to cameos and OCRs, John is. If you don't like them, blame him.
Jeff writes the even number episodes, and John writes the odd
numbered
ones. They both wrote the Prelude together as more or less a round
robin. (The first half of Z24 was written by Jeff and the second
half by John)
The Sailor Moon Z universe is part of a larger continuum of fanfics by Jeff and John (mostly by John), and thanks to the Council of Plutos concept, loosely part of an even larger 'multiverse', best seen and defined in The Crosstime Adventures of Athena and Sheila by Jeff Hosmer and Chris Davies, and in Trials and Errors by Jeff Hosmer and Sean Gaffney. Trials and Errors provides the best look at the Council of Plutos, as the Pluto of Sean's 'Made of Stone' universe faces trial for meddling in another Pluto's universe. The Crosstime Adventures of Athena and Sheila send Athena (Ami's Silver Millenium past life in Sailor Moon Z) and Sheila (the daughter of Haruka and Michiru in Chris Davies' Crystal Tokyo stories) across a dozen or so different SM fanfic universes, chasing Lina Inverse, who is hunting Silver Crystals in a quest to become a goddess.
Ichiwara Yuki and Steven Grant first make their appearance in Symphony of the Planets, by John Biles, which is set in the weeks of Winter Break before the events of Episode 1 of Sailor Moon Z. It is a set of five interrelated stories, each of which focuses on a different one of the inner senshi.
Forty years after Sailor Moon Z, the Sailor Senshi, bereft of their memories for reasons not to be spoiled here, appear in Dance of Shiva, by John Biles, which is a mega-crossover set in Mega-Tokyo in the mid 2030s, featuring Bubblegum Crisis, Tenchi Muyou, and Sailor Moon as the main elements. It's too complex for me to easily summarize in one paragraph. But it's full of crunchy goodness, I promise you.
There's another reference guide for the broader universe into which this series fits, the Galactic Encyclopedia, also maintained by John Biles, which you may find handy in seeing how Sailor Moon Z connects to the larger fanfic universe it's part of.
Finally, Crystal Tokyo and the Black Moon Crisis is the subject of Black Moon Rising, by John Biles, which deals with the Black Moon Crisis in Crystal Tokyo, as seen through the eyes of a girl, Arcadia N'goya, who is herself from a distant future in which Crystal Tokyo has faded into myth and legend.
This guide currently has six major sections, and might get a seventh if I ever muster the energy to do episode summaries. Don't stay up nights waiting for that, though.
You're reading Section 0 right now; it is the introduction to the Reader's guide, and also contains the update list.
Section I deals with the historical material we've created about the Silver Millenium--culture, history, geography, and everything else. It's pretty much invented whole cloth, as the canonical material says little about the Silver millenium.
Section II deals with the twelve billion characters we've used. Ideally, everyone with a speaking part is in here. To aid in reference, this is divided into five sections. Major and Secondary characters (our 'supporting cast') are listed alphabetically and have internal links from the table of contents. Minor characters form the third subsection. Antagonist characters, including a complete list of Zodiac members and Jadeite's eight new generals, form the fourth section, and characters of the Silver Millenium form the fifth.
Section III deals with all the various places we've created or borrowed; eventually it will be sorted seperately into present day and Silver Millenium locations.
Section IV deals with 'things', usually items of magic or high technology.
Section V sets out the basic theory of magic, and eventually will discuss more of how it is applied by various groups.
Section VI will eventually list and explain all of the obscure cultural references used in the series; this will likely take a loooong while to be completed.
Someday, there may be a set of episode summaries, but I'm not energetic enough to do them yet.
The most frequently asked questions are laid out on the spoiler page, so you can jump there if you have questions, rather than wanting to look up a specific person, place, or thing. This is more an encylopedia than a FAQ. If neither this nor the spoiler page answers your question, you can email John at wombat@thekeep.org and he'll try to answer your question.
Version 1.3 was posted on June 27, 2000 AD. It added internal links from the table of contents to the major and minor character entries, added this introductory and update section, and added the 'Obscure Cultural References' section. Still only updated through the end of Sailor Moon Z 17.
Version 1.4 was also posted on June 27, 2000 AD. It added material from Z18.
Version 1.5 rose from the grave on March 7, 2002 AD. It added material from Z19-21.
Version 1.6 was posted on March 30, 2008. It added materials
from Z22-25.
_A. History of the Silver Millenium (a la SMZ)_
A really long time ago:
The Things From Beyond conquer the Solar System and enslave its
inhabitants,
ending a previous age which may have been the Hyperborean Age.
The people of Kalin-D throw the entire strength of their nation, man,
woman, and child, at the leadership of the Things, slaying or banishing
them so that the armies turn on each other, so that a portion of
humanity may survive.
The decades just before the Silver Millenium
The Tree of Life choses five children as its champions to free the
Earth
from the power of the Things. Serenity, Endymion, Vulcan, Metallia, and
Astra go on a series of quests, grow in power, forge the Icons, and
then
lead a great revolt against the Things.
During the War of Liberation:
The
Battle of Europa, against the Things. Amber Squadron got
slaughtered fighting the Things, but their attack drew off the ones who
could fly, enabling Metallia to lead Diamond Squadron into the middle
of their carrier beasts and slaughter them, Juno told her. -- Z24
Year 1 of the Silver Millennium
Victory over the Things from Beyond is declared when they are pushed beyond Pluto. Metallia sacrifices her corporeal existence to create the Great Shield that limits their power to return. The Silver Accords are signed between the Moon, Mars, Earth, Star Kingdom, Atlantis, and Yuggoth. In return for their aid in the war, Mercury and Venus were given to the dwarves and elves of earth, respectively. Both planets immediately adopted isolationist policies.
Year 503 of the Silver Millennium
Queen Astra XI of the Star Kingdom founds the Zodiac research project.
Year 945 of the Silver Millennium
A crazed cult almost replaced the King of Mars with a Thing from Beyond. The entire city of Pallas on Mars had to be destroyed to root out the cult, which controlled the town, and had tried to replace him during a royal progress.
Year 950 of the Silver Millennium
The first Youmas are invented by a secret Atlantean research project in conjuntion with the Zodiac as the ultimate disposable supernatural warriors. Metallia's essence has become corrupted by the constant influence of the Things. A cult worshipping her has sprung up.
Year 966 of the Silver Millennium
Prince Endymion is born.
Year 972 of the Silver Millennium
Princess Astra is born on the first day of the year. Later that year,
Princess Serenity and her Senshi are born.
Year 977 of the Silver Millennium
Dr'achicar the shapeless infiltrates Odysseus while it is moving through the Oort cloud beyond Pluto.
Year 984 of the Silver Millennium
Dr'achicar spawns. In the process, it destroys the planet Odysseus and wipes out most of the Star Kingdom's civilization. Odysseus becomes the Asteroid belt. The Zodiac saves a few survivors and blames the disaster on the royal family, which had grown lax and complacent during the centuries of peace. Queen Serenity gives refuge to the royal family of the Star Kingdom, but all save the heiress, Princess Astra, soon sicken and die from their injuries. Queen Serenity hides the heiress among the court ladies.
Year 986 of the Silver Millennium
Senshi Mercury and Senshi Venus visit their respective planets. Senshi Mercury studies under the Dwarven Loremasters of Mercury. Senshi Venus learns from the Elvish Spellsingers on Venus
Year 988 of the Silver Millennium
Prince Endymion of Earth makes his first visit to the Moon Kingdom. The Zodiac begins laying its plans to finish off the Star Kingdom's Royal family, which is blamed by the survivors for the disaster. Prince Endymion begins a covert romance with Senshi Mars.
Year 990 of the Silver Millennium
Princess Serenity and her Senshi come of age, however her prearranged marriage to the heir of the Mars Kingdom falls through when he dies in a hunting accident. The hunt for a new groom begins. Endymion convinces Jadeite to "steal" Mars away from him, hoping to break off the relationship without hurting her. However, the match proves more successful than he expected.
Year 994 of the Silver Millennium
Prince Endymion falls in love with Princess Serenity. Lady Beryl of the Crystal Kingdom tries to slay the Princess in a jealous rage and is forced to flee to the Dark Kingdom. She seduces the king there and begins her rise to power.
Year 995 of the Silver Millennium
Beryl marries the King of the Dark Kingdom, then has him assassinated and takes over the kingdom with the aid of the Cult of Metallia. The Zodiac helps her improve "Youma technology" on the condition she supply them with some, and she creates the Seven Shadows. Zoisite proposes to Athena on Thaw 12.
Events of Z11.
Year 996 of the Silver Millennium
The Dark Kingdom invades the Earth Kingdom during the Grand Diamond Gala of the Moon Kingdom. Endymion and his Guardians return to Earth. Queen Beryl captures the Guardians and turns them to her service, making them the Generals of her armies. Endymion narrowly escapes to the Moon Kingdom. Manipulated by the Zodiac, the Dark Kingdom attacks the Moon Kingdom. A youma slays the Star Princess for the Zodiac. With the Seven Shadows and the Generals, Beryl and Metallia attack the Moon Kingdom, only to have Serenity's counterstroke banish them and the Dark Kingdom's populace to another dimension. The Outer Senshi try to awaken Saturn to save the Silver Millenium, but Saturn instead administers a mercy killing, making the moon largely uninhabitable. Atlantis sinks into the ocean, the last ice age begins on Earth, and civilization collapses. Mars and the outer colonies soon fall to attacks by the Things from beyond, with only a desperate few managing to evacuate to Earth. The Dwarves of Mercury dug deep and never ventured out again, while the Elves of Venus transported themselves to a pocket dimension called Avalon.
circa 25,000 years later.
Present Day.
_B. Kingdoms of the Silver Millenium_
Earth:
The bread basket of the solar system, Earth was the homeworld and the only planet mankind could live on without magickal aid. There were two mighty kingdoms on Earth, the Crystal Kingdom and the Dark Kingdom. The mages of Earth specialized in no specific areas of study, but possessed a broader knowledge than the mages of the other kingdoms.
On the Light side of the moon. Ruled by the Matriarchal Serenity dynasty and most powerful of the Four Kingdoms. Its symbol was a golden crescent moon, pointing upwards against a blue background. The Moon Kingdom's magick was Planets Magick, which dealt with transportation, scrying, healing, the mind, and energies. (In Mage parlance, this covered the Spheres of Correspondence, Life, Mind, and Forces)
Mars Kingdom:
Ruled by the Vulcan dynasty. Warmongers and often a source of trouble. Very patriarchal and technology oriented, along with Matter magicks. Martian dreadnoughts were among the most feared ships in the ether. Its symbol was a crimson hammer against an orange background.
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and points in between:
Colonized by the Four Kingdoms, but no independent kingdoms exist. Most colonies are only small outposts.
Yuggoth Kingdom:
Pluto, home of the Fungi from Yuggoth :) Another source of trouble. Home to aliens allied loosely with the humans against the Things, wielding strange technomagicks. They had no symbol as such.
The Gate of Time is to be found here when it isn't out cruising around causing trouble.
Star Kingdom:
Ruled by the Astra dynasty. Live on a mobile planet that patrols the solar system, called "Odysseus the Wanderer." Its symbol was a eight-pointed white star on a black background. The Astra Dynasty specialized in Star Magick which drew on the power of the stars and tended toward divination, wards, and shaping magickal forces. (Masters of Spirit, Time, and Prime, in Mage parlance.)
A Saying of the Star Kingdom (Nephrite, Z11):
"He who defies fate dies unhappy. He who accepts it dies anyway, but at least he enjoyed the ride."
_C. Gender in the Silver Millennium._
The Silver Millennium was an age of general equality between sexes
(and
races, more on that later.) However, certain gender biases did spring
up in the royal lines.
"What are their laws?"_D. Races in the Silver Millennium._"They have 12,456 of them. I only know three. Don't feed the Gurungis after midnight. Don't use open flame near them. Don't wear purple on Tuesday." (Z11)
No distinctions were made between the various races of Man. However, there were other races living on earth, originally (Dwarves, Gnomes, Elves, Faeries, etc.). Friction sometimes arose between mankind and these other races. However, all fought against the Things from Beyond. In the Silver Accords, which officially ended the Unknown Wars, the planets of Mercury and Venus were given to these races. The underground races (dwarves, gnomes, etc) emigrated to Mercury, while the arboreal races traveled to the glades and forested hills of Venus. Both planets immediately took up isolationist policies and only rarely traded with mankind. The only contact, aside from a few traders, that these planets would permit under the terms of the accord was the duly designated Sailor Senshi of their planet. Senshis Mercury and Venus would study under the Loremasters of Mercury and Spellsingers of Venus respectively, and would always be welcome.
Elves respond poorly to anything they find boring, and they tend to be easily bored. They cannot break their oath, though they can bend it. Elves possess a powerful glamour that draws people to them, although it only works well if they are also attracted to that person. They are very impulsive.
The Elves are governed by a council of Elders, who are well noted for solving problems by taking so long to find a solution that the problem dies of old age.
Dwarves are noted for never breaking a written contract. They cannot, just as Elves are bound by their spoken word. They use the 'Balin' as their base unit of measurement: it is equal to 1.07 meters. Unlike the Dwarves of Earth legend, they have little use for the precious metals of Earth; it is lead which they crave; Mercury has so many precious metals, they don't know what to do with them, but lead has occult uses.
Dworkin on Dwarven Security:
"Well, if someone controlled the security system, we could expect dozens of rotating blades to dice us to ribbons in seconds upon entry, followed by the floor opening up, draining off the blood, then dumping our corpses in a pit, followed by jets of water to remove the gore. Then it would pop up into place. A full cycle takes about three to five minutes." –Z15.
E. Dances and Music of the Moon Kingdom
Battle-Hymn of the Kalin-D
"The Empyrean Forge":
That broke Aurora out of her daze
and she looked over. A blond man was standing in front of the
band as it played the opening
chords to "The Empyrean Forge," one of the best operas ever produced by her home
planet. As she watched, the
nobles between her and the man pulling away to give her an unimpeded path to him, he began to sing
the part of Hephaestus, the
son of Vulcan and the first King of Mars.
The words washed over her, their
meaning clear even in the
archaic tongue, as Hephaestus lamented his father's absence and the loneliness he felt on the
throne. Was there no
one who would hold his heart?
Then he paused, and Aurora knew what
came next. The serving
maid Phrodite, who was spying on the King, would sing of her unrequited love for him,
knowing that they would never
be together. The opera, when done in its full, unabridged length, went on for hours on
their inability to declare
the love they felt for each other, while politicians intrigued around them, until
they finally admitted what
they felt and she married him.
-- Episode Z22
Rei dreams of herself and Jadeite singing part of this Opera in
Z22.
The Five Spoked Wheel
This dance requires six couples. The most senior or highest in status form the hub of the wheel, while the other five form the five spokes. It involves complex movements and the interchange of partners by the five spokes, as they circle the floor clockwise.
Seen to be performed by Queen Serenity, her consort, Princess
Serenity,
Endymion, and their respective bodyguards in the Prelude. They are
interrupted
by Pluto's arrival.
The Great Cross:
"As the night progressed, the time came for one of the most famous dances of the Moon Kingdom, the Great Cross. Two lines of dancers formed across the ballroom from west to east, while two more lines intersected those, running north to south. As the music played, the lines began to rotate and the cross began turning round and round clockwise until it reached it's original point. Then the women led and the wheel turned counterclockwise to its starting point again. As the Cross turned, the dancers also moved down their lines, creating an intricate and beautiful pattern. The dance was difficult to master. A single mistake on the part of one couple could send the entire dance into confusion. But the dancers were skilled and made the entire performance seem flawless." --Prelude.
Typically performed at court occasions, as most of the time, you wouldn't have enough well-practiced dancers. Mastery of this dance was de rigeur for being truly accepted as noble inside the kingdom...only a noble had time to learn it. ^_^
Interrupted in the prelude by an assassin's attack.
Venusian Squill
A dance for couples similar to the cha-cha, in which only the hands of the couples actually touch, and they move in mirrored motion to each other.
General observations on Music and Dance in the Silver Millenium:
The Moon Kingdom's music resembles that of European music in the 'classical' and 'baroque' periods. Similar instrumentation is available, although magical equivalents of 'synthesizers' also existed, but were rare.
Courtly Dance tends to be highly formalized, often involving symbolism of fives and nines, with paired partners and some sort of rotation often involved.
Folk Dances of the Moon Kingdom have yet to be shown :)
_F. Creatures of the Silver Millenium_
Byakhee
Byakhee are one of the servitor races of the Things from Beyond. They serve Hastur, one of the Great Old Ones. "They resembled giant winged ants in some ways, though with a head rather like a mantis, and basically bipedal in form, but with chitinous skin and a divided segmental body like an ant. Instead of legs on the middle segment, they had huge porous chitinous wings that shouldn't have been able to flap, but did anyway." (Z11)
Canal Serpents
Serpents who lived in the Martian Canals. One of them once nearly killed a Senshi of Neptune who panicked when it attacked. (Z17)
Sandbeasts
A race of tigerlike predators on Mars. (Z11)
Sandworms
Think Dune. Then run, run away. (Z17)
Star Dragons of Jupiter
Jupiter and its four largest moons have a spawned a strange creature capable of surviving the void of space and the stormy interior of the largest planet. They are built upon reptilian lines, resembling a large snake with four stubby but powerful legs and a large head mounted on a sinuous neck (actually, more like an extension of the body than a neck). Their skin was scaly and the color of mother-of-pearl which sparkled iridescently. Not surprisingly, these creatures were known as dragons.
The life cycle of the Star Dragon is complex. Dragons are hatched from eggs laid on one of the four largest moons of Jupiter: Io, Ganymede, Europa, Callisto. The different terrain on the four moons gave rise to four different breeds of dragon: Ionian, Ganymedan, Europan, and Callistan. Ionian dragons are extremely fire-resistant and tough, but are not as intelligent as their brethren. Ganymedan dragons are burrowers and often live in large asteroids, tunneling extensive burrows for themselves and are extremely exclusive. Europan dragons are swimmers, preferring to live in or near water, and are the friendliest of the dragons. Callistan dragons live almost entirely in the void of space or among the clouds of the gas giants.
After birth, the dragons fend for themselves on their respective moons for several years, until they mature enough to fly and escape to space. The dragons are intelligent (except for the Ionians) and reasonably social. They are like the lions of the plains, forming prides of a male and several females. Rogue males are common and they fight for females or for dominance of an existing pride. Males with a pride mate every few years in a dangerous mating ritual which involves the dragons copulating within the atmosphere of Jupiter, striving to finish the act before the atmospheric pressure crushes them. Star Dragons give birth to approximately three females for every male born. They metabolize almost anything, though they prefer organic food. A few have been known to travel to Earth and give rise to the legends of dragons there. Star Dragons live for thousands of years or longer, and are more likely to die of wounds from fighting each other than old age.
While obviously intelligent (and often giving the impression that they understood human speech or thoughts) Star Dragons rarely talk to humans. This is not due to inability, but simply because they have little to say to Humans. Star Dragons are known to attack the Things from Beyond on sight.
During the Silver Millennium, a dragon hatchling was considered a sign of good luck (except for the Ionians, but no one lived on Io anyway) and the settlers often left food out for them. No one ever considered them pets, mainly because the dragons would never stand for such an arrangement. There were also tales of elder dragons visiting anyone who mistreated a hatchling.
Juno (Jupiter) had a Star Dragon friend on Europa. If Makoto ever visits there again, her friend may still be around.
"With a roar, the Ionian Star Dragon slammed into Bob's side. Ionian Dragons are the most feared branch of the Star Dragon species. Not because of ferocity, though they have plenty of that, or power, though they are well-endowed in that regard as well, but because of their stupidity. Once an Ionian Dragon gets something in their heads, it is almost impossible to get it out. Since their thoughts run mostly along the lines of 'Food = Eat" it tends to go very badly for those who cross their paths, as Ionian Dragons have been known to chase their preyfor decades. They are so stupid they will even pass up easier ortastier prey and continue chasing their first choice. Add to this their nigh-immortality and incredible resistance to damage and you have one very nasty killing machine. Fortunately, as mentioned before, they reproduce only by accident, so this keeps their numbers down. But try telling that to someone an Ionian Dragon has selected as lunch and see if that makes their day any brighter." (Z14)
_G. Games of the Silver Millennium._
Castles
A game similar to chess. Mentioned in the Prelude.
_H. Religion of the Silver Millennium._
"The world is the site of the conflict of two great powers, the Lady of Light and the Lord of Darkness. Each is served by seven great gods who champion the Seven Virtues and the Seven Vices respectively. The conflict between those two powers drives forward time in its course, until the day of Decision, when one side or the other will win and reshape creation in its image. No one knows the day or the time of that battle, so we must always be vigilant. As time passes, the conflict sways back and forth. We live in a period of the dominance of Light which followed on the heels of the great age of Darkness, in which the worlds groaned under the slavery of the Things from Beyond."
He pointed about the room. "There have been many holy ones who have shown us the way of righteousness, and the seven greatest each of men and women are depicted on the walls of this chapel. We hope to follow the paths they have marked for us, the seven-fold path of holiness. Love, hope, faith, fortitude, temperance, justice, and modesty are the SevenVirtues that we strive to follow." (Parias, Z11)
The sacred book of this faith is known as the Book of Virtues (see the section on Items of the Silver Millenium).
The marriage oath:
I nodded and the words came to me. "By the Seven Virtues and the Ten Planets, by the Stars that chart our destinies, by the Power of the Lady of Light, I, Aino Minako, Senshi of Venus, do pledge my love to thee, until the Day of Doom comes again."
Still kneeling, he then spoke in a voice deeper than his usual tone. "Against the Seven Vices and the Things That Dwell Beyond, against theforces that seek our ruin, even if against the Lord of Darkness himself, I, Steven Grant, proclaim my love for thee, until Time marks the End of All." Then his voice dropped back to a normal tease, "May I kiss the bride?" (Z12)
_I. Astra's Theory of Destiny_
Queen Astra I spent a long time developing an elaborate theory of how destiny works, dividing everyone's destiny into eight categories:
"Warrior, Farmer, Magician, King, Merchant, Servant, Artisan, Scholar," Augur said. "They each have a positive and negative aspect, so technically, it's sixteen destinies, 32 if you consider that each can also be aspected male or female."
"That sounds complex," the junior Pluto said.
"It is. I usually have to consult books in order to make much use of it. It was a system which was often either too simplistic or too complex. I suppose that's a flaw inherent in any effort to systematize Destiny, though." He thought a moment. "Your powers would be under Magician. Or maybe King because they're related to your royal heritage. The Orb, if there's any clues at all, would also be in here." (Z19)
This system was later abandoned in favor of the Zodiac, about
halfway
through the Silver Millenium.

The prelude revealed that her past life was engaged to Jadeite after a relationship with Prince Endymion. Endymion arranged for Jadeite to woo her away and it worked better than they could have hoped. A memory crystal recorded the two singing together in the prelude. Z6 revealed Rei's past life was Aurora (Ari), the princess of Mars, a very materially-oriented person. Aries stripped Rei of her power in Z3, resulting in her losing confidence and the ability to become Sailor Mars. Rei regained her confidence in Z6 and a new, uncontrolled ability to teleport. In Z17, Rei visited Mars and gained her Talisman and also the Icon of Vulcan. After the events of Z20, Rei now has her hair cropped very short. In Z22, she falls into the hands of Jadeite and becomes an evil version of her past life, Dark Queen Aurora.
Her father is a businessman, and her mother is a Catholic physicist. Her father was supposed to take over Grandpa's temple, but converted to Catholicism instead. This created a rift between her parents and her grandfather.

Michiru is the intellectual voice of the Outer Senshi. While Haruka would prefer to act now and consider their actions AFTER they've been acted out, Michiru's strong conscience often gets the best of her, and she must try to make Haruka stop and think about what they're doing. She chides Haruka for tormenting the Inner Senshi girls (before they know they are Inner Senshi) and even seems to be a little jealous... ^_^. Michiru is extremely intelligent, and very skilled at playing the violin and painting. She is also well adjusted and seems to see everything in life as a new experience. She enjoys swimming immensely, and she once asked Ami-chan "Were you something from the ocean in a previous life as well?" Her dream is to become a famous concert violinist.
As Sailor Neptune, she is also very serious, and like Haruka, willing to die for her cause. However, she doesn't want to see Haruka get hurt, and has often put herself at extreme risk to prevent that. In the Silver Millenium, she was Ishtar, a minor noblewoman from Earth who was the one fated to become the last Sailor Neptune of the Silver Millenium. She was in love with Marduk, a young noble from a nearby duchy, who followed her to the Moon and took the Silver Oath with her. Marduk was Haruka's past life.
In Z8, we learn that Michiru's parents died while on a cruise with her, the day she became Sailor Neptune and slew the beast that sank their ship. She has a fear of drowning due to this. After the events of Z20, Michiru is rather shaken up, due to having been turned into a monster during the visit to the TORG Realm...

Special Item: Deep Aqua Mirror (summons grail, anime/manga)
Prelude revealed her past life's engagement to Nephrite and name: Juno. In Z4, it was revealed that Juno was the daughter of farmers on Europa. She was taken from her parents in the Silver Millenium and was given no choice in becoming a Senshi. In Z6, it is shown that Juno dressed and acted rebelliously. Makoto went on a date with Chester in Z9, but the relationship has not gone anywhere, due to the events of Z10 and 11. In Z16, she and Clark Magusson kissed each other for reasons which neither of them fully understands. Post Z18, she and Clark have a sort of relationship (rather complicated by the fact that he's her Teacher...). Post Z20, Makoto has a white streak in her hair, and seems to show some signs of having retained some of her other-self's Victorian education. In Z22, she and Clark have a major fight and things remain unresolved when she vanishes at the end of 22...

Little is known about the secretive Sailor Pluto, except that she guards the gateway that makes time travel possible. She first appeared in Sailor Moon R, as the mysterious Senshi that gave Chibi Usa the Time Key. She is probably the second most powerful Sailor Senshi, and has the tendency to only appear in times of extreme danger, because she does not wish to involve herself in the time-flow. As a rule of thumb, when Sailor Pluto DOES appear, all hell is about to break loose very soon...
As Setsuna, she is quiet and soft spoken. She is seldom seen in either form, though. She appears to have had dealings with Haruka and Michiru in the past, and works fairly well with them, including playing "getaway driver" for them by piloting in a helicopter to pick them up, and even bringing them back after their heart crystals have been removed....
Setsuna knows almost everything that's going on at all times, somehow. It is from her that the Sailor Senshi discover the Holy Grail, and discover that only it can help them save the world... if it's not too late.
In the Prelude, Pluto warned of the coming attack from the Dark Kingdom. In Z4, Setsuna became a Guidance Counselor at Tsunami High for her own reasons. In Z6, it is strongly hinted that Pluto has some feelings for Tomoe-sensei as she fights off the Gibberling invasion. In Z8, she renounced her status as standing outside of time for him, and they are now engaged.
Birthdate: October 29, ????, Scorpio [Unlike all the other Senshi, Sailor Pluto has not been reincarnated.]

Name:
Aliases: Sailor Pluto, Garnet (In Dark Tokyo in Z24)
Transformation:
Special Item: The Garnet Orb (part of her Time Staff)
(summons
Grail, anime/manga)
In the prelude, it is made clear that Senshi Mercury was engaged to
Zoisite before the latter's corruption by Beryl. There are hints that
Mercury,
Venus, Zoisite, and Kunzite were all very close. In Z6, we learn that
Ami's
previous life was named Athena (Teena) and was from Mars, a cousin of
Rei's
past life. Athena was a flirt and interested in a engineering, rather
than
medicine. Athena spoke in a very archaic accent. Since the events of
Z10-11,
Athena has been awake in Ami's mind and making her life difficult. In
Z9,
she got back together with her first (and only) boyfriend, Urawa Ryo,
after
chance and Umino brought them back into contact with each other. They
had
sex for the first time in Z17. In Z21, Ami finally comes to terms
with her past self, Athena.
Ami rooms with Sensei Udaigaku's granddaughter, Noriko, at Tsunami
High.

Osaka Naru is actually the reincarnation of the Star Princess, heir to the Astra Dynasty. When the Star Kingdom was destroyed, she was spirited away by Senshi Pluto and given the alias Lady Patience to hide her from the Zodiac. Lady Patience is introduced in the Prelude. Her page is Turquoise. In episode 1, Naru celebrates her sixteenth birthday. In episode 6, she begins to truly come into her power, when she revives Umino using the Silver Crystal. In episode 10, she becomes Sailor Odysseus. In episode 13, she realizes she her true heritage as Princess Astra. In Z19, she visits the old Library of the Star Kingdom and learns more of her heritage and destiny.
Birthdate: January 1, 1980, Capricorn
Distinctive Features: Reddish brown wavy hair, monster attack attractor :)
Name:
Aliases: Lady Patience, Princess Astra of the Star Kingdom, Sailor Odysseus
Transformation: ODYSSEUS PLANET POWER, MAKE UP!
Powers:
Special Item: The Orb of Destiny
Personality: Extremely masculine. Her short blonde hair and imposing height make her almost INDISTINGUISHABLE from a boy. The fact that she breaks dress code and wears the male school uniform, that "Haruka" can be a male OR female name, that she rides and races with her motorcycle and screaming yellow sports car (doesn't have a real license, either ^_-) and her language is boyish in nature doesn't help either. Brash and sarcastic, she loves having fun at others' expense. Most of the girls who are the Inner Senshi have crushes on her at one time, believing her to be a very handsome and cool boy. Haruka delights in it and is more than happy to tease them, and Usagi is her favorite target... ^_^ As Sailor Uranus, she takes a much more serious turn. Utterly devoted to her "mission", she is willing to sacrifice her partner's life as well as her own if it means saving the universe.
In both forms, she's very strong, and extremely agile and fast, and is a local track star among high schools. Her dream used to be to become the top Formula One driver in the world... but as she says, "That used to be my dream. Now my dream is to do something only I can do. For that, I'll sacrifice anything."
In the Silver Millenium, Haruka was Marduk, a nobleman from Earth
who
fought a duel with the Elder Uranus to earn the right to be trained as
a Senshi because of his love for Ishtar, Michiru's past life. Revealed
in Z4 to now be attending Tsunami High with Michiru. Has been trying to
find out how Noriko can be so tough since episode 9. After the
events
of Z20, Haruka is rather shaken up, due to having been turned into a
Monster
during the visit to the TORG Realm... Learns Virgo is her true
mother in Z24.
Birthdate: January 27, 1979, Aquarius
Distinctive Features: Extremely masculine.
Name: Ruler of Heaven
Aliases: Sailor Uranus
Transformation:
Personality: Tomoe Hotaru, daughter of Professor Tomoe Souichi, one of the ex-evil members of the now defunct Death Busters, seems to be at first glance, a cute, shy girl. Lurking inside her though is one of the most powerful forces in the universe.
Hotaru was, like Haruka and Michiru, a student at the Mugen Gakuen High School. She had no friends, and was rejected by her peers for being "weird". One reason for this is her bizarre, unexplainable ability to heal injuries, which the other students find to be disgusting. Hotaru is reclusive, to say the least. She is seldom seen in public, preferring to reside in her dark house, and very pale, as well as physically weak. She can't sustain physical activity for very long. Then Hotaru meets Chibi Usa, who is the first person who has ever been kind to her. Little does Chibi Usa know what's in store... ^_^
As Sailor Saturn, Hotaru is, in a word, frightening. Perpetually stoic and calm, she has no remorse, and no sympathy for anyone or anything. If someone stands in her way, they are cut down. Her goal when she appears is to wipe the Earth of every living thing, leaving it in a freezing, nuclear winter-like state known as "The Silence". It appears that Hotaru is separate from Sailor Saturn, and can't control her. When Sailor Saturn takes dominance, Hotaru is wiped out. But is Sailor Saturn truly evil? Or is she a vessel for some darker force? Was there ever really any question? ^_-
In Z4, Hotaru is seen as a baby. She regains adulthood (and how) in Z6. She had a massive crush on a singer, Godai Otashii for a time, and now has a sort of relationship with Derith (an Elf from Venus) since Z12. NOTE: In Z, the Saturn Power is separate from Tomoe Hotaru. It is a power of life and death and is constantly being reborn in other hosts. After the defeat of Mistress 9, the Saturn Power took advantage of Hotaru's regression to a baby (or arranged it) to have her as a host body a second time. The Power is sentient and has its own goals.

will
stay, I hope. :)
Umino is Naru's boyfriend, and is fairly fanatically devoted to her. He has many hobbies: computers, gaming, science, photography, and gossip. He is left out of the loop in the first five episodes, and feels a bit depressed for a while afterwards because of this. In Z3, he runs into his old enemy Goro, a bully who used to pick on him. He dies in episode 6, and Naru revives him with the Silver Crystal. He is in the Photography Club with Urawa Ryo.
He was Lady Patience's pageboy in the Silver Millenium, Turquoise, and loved her then as well, dying in defense of her.
He and Steven have become close friends, and Ryo is also moving into their circuit, as they seek ways to put their combined technical expertise to work helping the Senshi.
Unfortunately for mankind, Umino still has his Tuxedo Umino Kamen outfit. Be afraid.
Umino runs the weekly Senshi Torg game. This has been shut down after the events of Z20 for understandable reasons.
As of Episode 21, Umino is now the White Knight.

Name: Artemis
AKA:
First Appearance: Prelude
Series of Origin: Sailor Moon First Season
Silver Millenium Identity if any or stated: Artemis
Age: Thousands of years, but most of it was in suspended animation
Mostly unchanged. In Z5, we learn how he met Inanna (Senshi Venus)
and
that he is from Venus. In Z7, we see that he was often forced to play
with
the little children of the Royal household. To say the least, he didn't
LIKE this. :) As of Z10, Artemis has relearned how to assume his human
form. As of Z16, he's still on VERY bad terms with Queen Hecate, leader
of the Venusian Cats. We also learn he was the bastard son of a
noblewoman,
and never knew his father. Artemis avoided going on Ami and
Minako's
trip to Venus in Z21 due to wanting to avoid having Hecate cause
trouble
for them.
Name: Steven Grant
AKA: Steve-kun (Minako calls him this)
First Appearance: Symphony of the Planets: Venus
Series of Origin: Symphony of the Planets
Silver Millenium Identity if any or stated: (revealed in Z21) Officer Maglan of the Solar Patrol
Age: 16
Steven is a British Exchange student from Exeter in Devon, England. His parents work for a British manufacturing firm and are spending a year in Korea at a new plant that company has opened. Steven is currently dating Aino Minako, having met her during a ski trip in Hokkaido in December, 1995. Steven currently attends the high school from KOR, and his host family is the Kasugas :) He is aware of their...special abilities, but they think he doesn't know.
Steven is a quiet, but friendly fellow. He has a deep insight into people deriving from his special power, but tries not to show it so he doesn't have to explain how he knows these things. He enjoys athletics, although he is not great at them. Steven is fairly confident with romantic relationships, although he hasn't had a lot of luck. His biggest flaw is a penchant for practical jokes that sometimes annoys people.
As of Z12, Steven is married to Minako. Neither set of parents know, but they likely won't be too amused.
As of Z21, Steven's past-life from the Silver Millenium as Officer Maglan, a member of the Solar Patro, l has been revealed. Officer Maglan was engaged to his partner, Gwynnaefael, an Elf at that time, but he perished while assisting the mysterious Time Priest in stopping an attack on a refugee ship during the Fall of the Silver Millenium.
Birthdate: September 1, 1980 (Virgo)
Distinctive features: Brown hair, brown eyes, 5'10 and thus taller than most of our cast, plays practical jokes, very difficult to trick
Name: Rather bland generic British name, if not quite on level of "John Smith"
Aliases: Steve-kun :)
Transformation: Doesn't transform
Powers:
Steven has two powers. He has the ability to see through disguises of all kinds. This includes telling if he is being lied to. He can also see what a person really looks like if they are disguised, although that doesn't necessarily mean he knows who they are :)
The other one is his ridiculously good ventriloquism skills. He is a skillful mimic. He won't fool electronic analysis, but he is almost supernaturally good at ventriloquism.
Items: His Motorcycle and International Driver's
License. In Z21, Makoto gives him the magical blade 'Hackmaster',
which he retains for the rest of the series. "Steven studied his blade curiously.
It looked solid, and cut through a wide variety of substances with
ease. It has some heft to it, though it was lighter than a sword
of its size should be. It felt real when he held it." --
Z21. The sword guides its user's hands.

Name: Hibino Hikaru
AKA: No aliases
First Appearance:
Series of Origin: Hime-chan No Ribbon
Silver Millenium Identity if any or stated: None stated, if any.
Age: 16
Hibino is the head of the Daichi Fan Club, and she has completely fallen for Daichi. She has pursued him to the point of joining the Transdimensional Defense Club to chase him. She has shoulder-length brown hair, is (supposedly) attractive, and hangs around Daichi at every possible opportunity. She fantasizes quite a bit, and has an extremely high opinion of herself (she's stuck-up). Hikaru's family is made up of her father (who is a doctor), her mother (who is a nurse), and herself. But they also hire a helper to take care of their house. Hikaru was the only person besides Daichi to suspect that Hime-chan had more powers than a normal girl.
Hikaru is now focusing on biology, as she hopes to one day be a doctor like her father. She is also in the school Journalism club, and is often seen with a camcorder or microphone and tape recorder. This may be the doom of her, for as of SMZ16 and 17, she caught Neptune and Mars kissing on tape, and this footage has come to the awareness of dark powers...
As of Z19, she seems to be finally giving up on Daichi. We
hope.
She learns Sailor Venus' secret identity in Z19.
In Z23, she obtains a ninja suit with gadgets designed by Sensei
Udaigaku.
Powers:
Hikaru actually does have a power...She always shows up at the worst
possible moment when you wish she wouldn't, often shoving a camcorder
in
your face and asking questions like, "Where were you on December 15,
1994?"
She also has a substantial allowance from her well off dad. She is also
now studying martial arts, because it gives her an excuse to be around
Daichi :) She becomes the new Scorpio in Z25.
Name: Hudson
AKA:
First Appearance: Sailor Moon Z 5
Series of Origin: Sailor Moon Z in current form, Aliens character was the inspiration.
Silver Millenium Identity if any or stated: unknown
Age: 30
A wise-cracking gaijin mercenary whose ego is too big for his own
good,
Hudson was first seen working for Capricorn in Z1. Utterly fearless
when
faced with natural enemies, Hudson tends to lose it when faced with the
supernatural. This is because he was part of a Zodiac patrol which was
massacred by the Things in the outer planets. He sees Makoto transform
in Z1, but she threatened to kill him if he ever told anyone...He took
her at her word :) He seems to also be a favorite target for the White
Knight to bop. :) In Z10, he shot Saturn in the head when the Saturn
Force
took her over, and as of Z17, is still in therapy as they try to bring
him out of the coma she put him in. By Z21, Hudson has recovered
and is back in action, cranky as ever. In Z25, he becomes the new
Aries.
Name: Ichiwara Yuki
AKA:
First Appearance: Symphony of the Planets: Mercury
Series of Origin: Symphony of the Planets
Silver Millenium Identity if any or stated: An unnamed starship captain
Age: 16
Yuki is a friendly girl with long brown hair gathered in a pony-tail and blue eyes. She is the president of the new Senshi Fan Club at Tsunami High School. She first met Ami in her last year of Junior high when they went to the same cram school. (See Sy. of the Planets: Mercury). She is 5'4" and of medium build. She is also a member of the Archery Club and one of its best members. Just to make her life busier, she also worships various idols and is in the school choir, where she also excels. If she only would put all that energy into her homework... Then she wouldn't need Ami to help her with math all the time for one thing...
Yuki is a friendly, outgoing kind of girl. The only thing she takes really seriously is her music. She sings, plays guitar, and writes songs. She hopes to be an idol singer one day. She spends most of her time trying to earn money to go to concerts when she is not working on homework or her own music. She also considers herself an "expert" on the Senshi and tries to find out as much as she can about them.
As of Z13, she is dating Toriyama Kenichi (see Minor Characters).
After the events of Z21, she seems to be a likely target for Zodiac action after she shouted out combat advice on how to beat them to several of the Sailors and was spotted.
Birthdate: June 29, 1980 (Cancer)
Distinctive features: Knows EVERYTHING about the Senshi that anyone who wasn't one might learn. EVERYTHING. If the Zodiac ever finds out she exists...
Name: No joke, I have no clue what it means :)
Aliases: Yuki-chan
Transformation: She wishes. OH, does she wish.
Powers:
Yuki has no powers, except for a beautiful singing voice if you
count
that. She can do the break glass with high C trick, too. I guess you
could
count her unflappable high spirits as a power too :)
However, in Z25, she becomes the new Pisces.
Items: An endless array of fangirl support materials.
Quote: "Oh cool! It's a youma like that one the Senshi
fought
at that jewelry store on March 28, 1994!"

Silver Millenium Identity if any or stated: None stated, if any.

A quiet and competent mercenary, she is often teamed up with Hudson
(to her annoyance) because of a compatibility between their signs. She
dislikes Hudson immensely, seeing him as a loud-mouthed braggart with
no
redeeming characteristics. She tries to interrogate the Sailors in Z1,
but is foiled by them. She has been used as a spy by Polly several
times
and hates it. In Z25, she becomes the new Aquarius.
Name: Kobayashi Daichi

Series of Origin: Hime-chan no Ribbon
Silver Millenium Identity if any or stated: Unstated if any.
Age: 16.
He's very good at sports, is rebellious, and is often seen trying to avoid being caught by various teachers. He skips class a lot. Most of the girls at school seem to think he's cool... and there's even a Daichi Fan Club. It's not as strong as it once was...he's been dating Himeko for two years...But the club president is still rather... persistent :) Daichi is aware of Hime-chan's special abilities, and she has told him about Erika's return. He is very concerned for her and has started trying to learn martial arts to protect her. He is now the vice-president of the Transdimensional Defense club, probably because he is the cutest guy.
He is about 3 inches taller than Himeko, and getting rather strong.
He works out a little. He has short brown unkempt hair.
Daichi's Powers:
He's a really good soccer player, and has a lot of rebellious
charisma
:) He also now has a motorcycle, which he drives around illegally

Name: Koteuchi Manami
AKA: Idol Angel Mami
First Appearance: Z3
Series of Origin: Sailor Moon Z, but very heavily inspired by pre-SM magical girl shows.
Silver Millenium Identity if any or stated: Possibly one of
Endymion's non-warrior sisters.
Age: 16
Koteuchi Manami is a cute black-haired girl with the power to transform into an adult, beautiful, charismatic idol singer, complete with magical microphone and theme music/background music :) She is originally from Kyoto, but her family moved to Tokyo when she was 10, so she has a distinct accent when she speaks. Her normal form is somewhat mousy looking, with shoulder-length hair and green eyes. She hopes to be a psychologist one day, and has a good understanding of how people think. When she was ten, her family went through some hard times, but she was chosen by a kami to bear the Sacred Song Transformation Wand, in order to help her family and to bring the joy of music to others. With the wand she can transform herself into Idol Angel Mami, who sings with the voice of the gods...she can easily sway crowds and evoke emotions, plus produce her own music. The wand becomes a microphone :) Idol Angel Mami looks much like Manami, but has waist-length black hair, is ridiculously gorgeous, and always exquisitely dressed. As she becomes older, the transformation is less pronounced, but those who don't know her still often can't tell it's her...like her hair gets longer for one thing :)
Manami speaks English very well and reads a lot of English literature, which is how she meets Ami in chapter 3. She also has an uncle who lives in the United States.
She is currently looking for a boyfriend. As of Z15, she is starting to see Seiji Matsumoto who is in the Manga Club with her. As of Z17, Hikaru Hibino and Obsidian are aware of her secret identity, though Obsidian doesn't really understand it.

AKA:
First Appearance: Z2
Series of Origin: Sailor Moon
Silver Millenium Identity if any or stated: Not stated, if any
Age: 24
Son of a wealthy family, Yuuichiro is seeking spiritual fulfillment. This led him to become a bum and later an acolyte at the Hino Temple. He has a lot of interesting skills picked up from his years on the road, but doesn't talk about his past much. He is in love with Rei, but often thinks he doesn't have a chance with her.
Spiritually, Yuuichiro is caught in a karmic foul-up. As the events
of the past repeat themselves in the present, he stands in Jadeite's
place.
Had Jadeite been reincarnated, he would have been Yuuichiro. Since
Jadeite
was not, Yuuichiro is missing something from his soul. He tries to fill
his role as best he can, but his efforts are often less than perfect.
In Z22, he follows the Senshi into the Dark Kingdom and spends Z22-5
trapped there, though Tethys finds him in Z23 and brings him into
Aurora's service.
Name: Luna

Name: Clark Maguson
AKA: Maguson-sensei
First Appearance: Z5
Series of Origin: Sailor Moon Z Original Character (created by Pearson Mui)
Silver Millenium Identity if any or stated: Parias
Explanation of Name: Clark's name is actually a huge pun. Clark is old French for "scholar,"as well as a really bad mispronounciation of "cleric." Maguson is "son of a wise man/magician," which describes part of his parentage in his past life.
Age: 25 (Birthday September 30, 1970, which means he'll turn 26 by the end of Z)
"a young man with dark brown hair, gray eyes, and glasses " (Z8). His real parents, Bernard and Marie, died in a car accident when he was a week old, so foster parents raised him. He has a sword they passed on to him through their attorney, Arthur Tournay. "Inside was a largish sword covered in strange, rune-like symbols. It was about four and a half feet long, not including the hilt, and was most definitely illegal anywhere in Japan. It was somewhat more slender than a typical broadsword, but with more substance to it than a saber. " (Z16)
Attended Kyoto University with Haruna Sakurada. Replaced Amuro-sensei in episode 8, after Amuro left to work in the Ministry of Education. He teaches biology, and one English section, which Manami, Minako, and Makoto are in.
As of Z18, he and Makoto have a romantic relationship, though they can't be public with it, as he is her teacher.
Name: Nonohara Himeko
AKA: Hime-chan, the Younger Pluto
First Appearance: Z5
Series of Origin: Hime-chan No Ribbon
Silver Millenium Identity if any or stated: Not stated, if any
Age: 16
Himeko is a tomboyish girl 16 years old. She has short yellow hair with a big red Ribbon tied in it. She is a member of the Tsunami Drama Club, and the President of the Transdimensional Defense Club.
Himeko's birthday is January 30, 1980 and her blood type is O. She is around 150 cm tall and weighs about 38 kg. She is in love with the club vice-president, Daichi. They have been dating for two years.
Personality notes:
Daichi says about Himeko, "You're the type who always gets upset very quickly. Calm down." Himeko enjoys sports and acting. She's even written a play herself once. She is still rather tomboyish, usually dressing in a male style, though not so effectively as say, Haruka :) She also has a rather short temper and is easily upset, though she is struggling to control this.
History:
Unlike many people, Himeko is aware of the existence of magic. When she was 13, she met a girl named Erika, who was her double from the Kingdom of Magic. For the next year, she helped test many magical devices for Erika, including a ribbon that could turn her into any other human for one hour, a magical heart wand that could make things big or small, a flying pen, and a palette that could stop time and make a duplicate of herself...though the duplicate was only as half as good as her at things (including 1/2 as tomboyish :) Himeko had many adventures and gradually fell in love with a boy named Daichi. He and her rival, Hibino Hikaru were the only ones who learned of her secret powers. At the end of the year, she had to give back the magical items, as Erika had now passed her tests. For the next year and a half, she lived a normal life, or at least as normal a life as anyone has...
On her 16th birthday, Erika appeared to Himeko again. She told Himeko that she had seen Himeko would be in grave danger in the future, and that she had smuggled Himeko her old ribbon in the hopes it might be of some help to her. Himeko finally graduated from her old junior high and began attending Tsunami High, where through circumstances she doesn't quite understand, she was elected president of the Transdimensional Defense Club...now she's beginning to wonder if just maybe Erika's gift may be what is going to get her into the danger it's supposed to save her from...
As of Z10, Himeko is now the Junior Pluto, a Pluto in training.
In Z19, Himeko acquired her own Garnet Orb.
Post Z20, Himeko has been rather shaken up by her actions in the
TORGverse.
Himeko's powers:
The Ribbon & Pendant:
Hime-chan has a purple ribbon and pendant combination that enable her to transform into any other human person in the world. It has to be someone real, but it can be anyone she's ever seen or heard of, living or dead, as long as they are/were real. The ribbon vanishes for the hour, but the pendant then begins ticking off the time until she will turn back to normal. While the ribbon does change her clothing...the pendant does not vanish and she has to hide it somewhere on her person. At five minutes warning, it begins flashing and beeping softly.As the Younger Pluto:Hime-chan's magical phrases are listed below.

secret
is around. Pokota is animated by a reincarnated spirit that knew Luna

He is currently working with a crystal lattice tachyon array, which
enables one to scry distant places. "About a third of the plain
white
room was filled with a huge web of crystal, strung together with gold
wires,
silver cables, and large misshapen hunks of lead. Part of the lattice
contained
a huge flat crystal that showed shimmering images inside it, and a
variety
of more normal electronic wires ran into a large computer." (Z12)

In Z18, she is revealed to be a cyborg; her family died in a car
wreck,
and she nearly died, but her grandfather built her a robot body to
house
her brain.

Series of Origin: Sailor Moon Z
Silver Millenium Identity if any or stated: None given
Age: In his sixties.
"A tall, gangly old man, mostly bald except for two tufts of hair by his ears and a long, snowy-white beard. He was wearing a tweed suit, heavily patched around the elbows, with its pockets full to bursting with incomprehensible gadgets, and thick eyeglasses with something like a jeweler's loupe attached to the right lens. " (Z4)
Dr. Udaigaku has been at Tsunami for five years now, and is noted for his research into high energy dimensional physics and paraphysics. He provides advice for the club, technical support, and portable nuclear generators as needed. His granddaughter, Udaigaku Noriko, attends Tsunami and is currently a first year student.
His offices are located in the basement of the Science building and he is always available to students. Given his propensity for dangerous experiments, some of them come to wish he wasn't quite so available.
In Z18, it is revealed that Sensei used to work for Mishima Heavy Industries in their robotics department, and long neglected his family until most of his descendants died in a car wreck. He managed to save his granddaughter's life by building her a robot body.

AKA: "Greg Farshtey" (His TORG character)
First Appearance: Z9
Series of Origin: Sailor Moon First Season
Silver Millenium Identity if any or stated: Tilerna the Time Priest (revealed in Z21)
Age: 16
All canonical information remains true. He is dating Ami Mizuno again, as of Z9. He is in the Photography Club with Umino. He has a suit of battle armor given him by the Dwarves of Mercury, but fears to use it because the dwarf who gave it to him was a complete nutcase, as seen in Z15. He uses it in Z21, with rather mixed results.

*****

Lord Axok'zan
An elven lord who is dispatched to test Senshi Venus' fitness to wield the Bow of Venus. He ends up trying to carry off Makoto by force after Venus shoots him with a love arrow and gets in a duel with Clark Maguson in Z16. "He was pale of skin and had jet black hair. He was always smiling, but when you looked in his eyes, the yellow eyes of a wolf looked back hungrily. His clothes were simple compared to his companion, being similar to a Japanese school boy's uniform, only in shades of grey. A sword was buckled to his belt in a plain leather scabbard." (Z16)
*****
Bob the Dragon
"It was long and sinuous and the light of the sun and stars reflecting off its scaled silver hide. From this body extended four powerful limbs which ended in wickedly sharp claws, a long, whip-like tail, and a large head that sported numerous sharp teeth. Two large wings also extended from its back, flapping in mighty sweeps as it moved between the planets. That fact alone would be enough to send scientists into fits, as everyone knows there is nothing in a vacuum for wings to work with."
"Like all intelligent creatures, it had a name. Actually, it had three. One was how it referred to itself. No one else knew that name,mainly because it considered everyone too stupid and undeserving to know it. (Star Dragons are big on ego as well as intelligence.) Its second name was what other dragons called it, a long and majestic sounding name, though some dragons sniggered that the twenty-third syllable sounded close to a vulgar euphemism for bodily waste. The third name was for those species too benighted to be born dragons. That name was Bob." (Z14)
Bob is Derith's ally and mount. How they came to work together has yet to be revealed. He is a Star Dragon.

Clearly, the plot of Marmalade Boy was somewhat different in this universe. Or perhaps the Authors didn't perfectly plan everything. Naah.
Ranma 1/2: Mentioned multiple times; Shampoo and the Nekohanten appear by other names in episode 7; Furinkan High is mentioned in episode 9 by name and hinted at in episode 5. Tsubasa is alluded to in Z17, having married Ryuunosuke.

Derith

it. She wore a red, sleeveless outfit which ended in a micro-miniskirt
and left her back bare. A large triangle was cut out of the front of
the
dress, showing a generous amount of cleavage. Long, silver hair flowed
down her back, accentuated her unearthly beauty. Two eyes like
sapphires
blazed with amusement as she smiled at the Captain." (Z16)

Elven
life.

Dwarven Bureau of Investigation Team #45
Mercury nodded. "Sounds good to me." She was about to knock on the next door when another 'bullet cart' roared up, and five dwarves, each dressed in a different garish and conflicting costume, leaped out. The tallest was dressed in red and looked disturbingly like a Dwarven Power Ranger. He had a long staff with a blade on the end. The second wore a somewhat similar outfit, although he had a long cloak and an open visor that revealed his face and looked somewhat like a bird beak. His costume was yellow, and he carried a long tube with several colored lenses on the end of it. The third was wearing a suit of platemail, but he hadpainted it red with gold trim. A sword hung at his waist, and some sort of glowing lens was attached to his chest plate. The fourth was wearing a blue bodysuit with red trim and a long red cape. There was a big red S on his chest. He had no visible weapons. The fifth looked hideously embarrassed and was wearing chainmail and a open helm, and carrying a glowing axe. He also had a small notebook computer slung from his belt. "Okay, team, let's spread out and investigate. And this time, let's NOT shoot everything that moves, okay?"
This team of lunatics is lead by the hapless Dworkin, who does his best to ride herd over a squad of complete lunatics. They appear in Sailor Moon Z 15, and live on Mercury.
Iron Dwarf gave Ryo a functional duplicate of his armor, scaled to a human. Ryo uses it in the battle with Amazonite's army in Z21.

Lord Eien
An elven lord who is dispatched to test Senshi Venus' fitness to wield the Bow of Venus. He is in love with Pluto, but she tricks him into swearing an oath that keeps him away from her after Z16. " a tall thin elf wearing a toga of Black and white, trimmed in imperial purple. His hair was long and as green as jade, and his skin was a dusky shade. It made him look like one of those scraggy pines you find on a mountain side, but for the incredible beauty of his face. He was obviously male, but if you took him by his face alone, he could pass for a female." (Z16)

green eyes, wearing an elaborate purple dress.

protect Miki's loved ones in return for Miki's service. They
remain friendly after the reversion of the Youma to human status.
Miki as Iodine:
Her new lieutenant was wearing the
odd combo of a general-style wrap around jacket with a short skirt that
came down only to her knees, a pink suit with green trim. Lt.
Iodine had lustrous violet-black skin and long slightly dark yellow
hair and violet eyes. Her body was taller and more muscular than

He is in the manga club, and is fairly good at it. A Sailor Mercury fan, he sent Ami an ecchi SV doujinshi with a 'Sailor Hermes' story in it in Z15. He is now starting to see Manami.

She tells Ami she is going to spend a while in Arcadia studying Elven medicine.
*****
Derith Moontears
"Humanoid, and human seeming at first glance, he is not a native of Earth. Instead, his almond-shaped eyes and pointed ears denote a more ancient race, steeped in magic and mystery, whose very name invokes the imagery of mystic glens and mischievous sprites. Our more enlightened observers would say, "It's a bleedin' elf!" Clad in a stout gray cloak, sky blue shirt and pants, and a pair of sturdy leather boots, he seemed to have stepped right out of some fantasy novel. His hair was a vibrant silver, flowing down to his shoulders, and a short, neat goatee. " (Z14)
His eyes are blue with golden flecks. Friend and rider of Bob the Dragon, he met Hotaru in Z14 at Titan. Seems to be developing a relationship with her. He is a magical generalist, rather than a specialist, preferring versatility over expertise.

Teachers and Staff at Tsunami
Ms. Serena Anderson
New English Teacher. She's American and doesn't realize how far behind in English the students really are. Starts an English Language club that watches bad american movies at its meetings... She has weird tastes in literature :) Keeps trying weird experiments to help her students learn.
Miss Hitomi Ashikaga:
Japanese Language and Lit teacher: Noted for falling aleep during her own lectures.
The Groundskeeper and dog
Ohta Takashi. And his wonder dog Puzzle. Puzzle likes to chase cats. Ohta is deaf, big, and a bit creepy. Really he's just a nice shy big guy, but everyone is scared of him.
Hayao Goichiro
Teaches Math. In Z13, Minako and Hotaru follow him around because Minako is in one of her moods and he fits the Moriarity template. But really, he's just a hapless math teacher.
Reiko Hanako
Teaches Differential Equations at Tsunami. Ami is in her class.
Haohmaru-sensei
Ami's English teacher. He's not very good at it, but he cares about his students.
Clark Maguson
See Secondary Characters. Teaches sciences and one English section (which Minako and Makoto are in).
Hikaru Momonochi
School Nurse. Think of how Hikaru Gosunkugi would look with 10 extra years. The school nurse is extremely shy around females and can get nosebleeds even thinking about getting near them, let alone treating them! He's pretty good at his job, but worries too much. Constantly reading self-help books and taking part in 12-step plans. Has a major crush on the School Counselor.
The Principal:
No one knows his name, appearance, anything...just the constantly shifting web of secretaries and Vice Principals.
The Principal's Secretary:
Her name is Yuriko Starr. Hard-working, finds it hard to deal with her generally absent boss. Only she knows what is going on with him, and she's not telling.
Kuzuki Sensa(Sensa-san)
The Dorm Mother of Perry Hall. Stern but fair.
Meiou Setsuna (Sailor Pluto)
See Major characters. Listed here because she is a Tsunami School Counsellor.
Hiroe Tanamoto
PE Teacher. Kinda like Miss Sakura, only more active. She constantly eats junk food (like Usagi) but never gains a pound. Has trouble keeping boyfriends because of her assertive personality, so classes tend to either be extremely easy (she has a new flame) or grueling punishments (she just got dumped again.) Mood swings does not begin to describe her attitude. Definitely the prettiest teacher at the school. Has a thing for tall, dark-haired men in tuxedos. :)
Mr Akira Totomachi
Really buff home room teacher that all the students have crushes on who is oblivious to their crushes.
Dr. Tatewaki Udaigaku "Sensei"

*****Toriyama Kenichi
First appears as Yuki's date in Z13. "A tall fellow with a broad grin and rumpled black hair. Haruka thought he was one of the five ugliest men she had met, not that she normally went around assessing male attractiveness. Most of it came from his nose, which seemed to have been bashed in and left to heal that way." He is a member of the Ohta Sakurin Memorial Society at Tokyo University, which is basically a fraternity/drinking club. A decent fellow, he is a fairly typical fraternity boy, more concerned with partying than studying. He is a first year student.
