Mrrrow! I'm Selena, in my cat form. Here are some facts to help you gain a better understanding of the fanfics. Some facts you may already know from watching Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z, but others you wouldn't know due to the fact that they have to do with the new characters ^_^
~The Senshi are Princesses of their corresponding planets (i.e. Sailor Mars = Princess of Mars)
~Queen Serenity I died in the last battle against the Negaverse. She defeated the Seven Shadows and trappd them inside the silver crystal, which broke into several pieces, thus creating the 7 rainbow crystals.
~Prince Endymion, Princess Serenity, and Serenity's court (the sailor senshi) were killed in the battle, but Queen Serenity was able to reincarnate them as people on Earth so that they may have better lives.
~Mamoru is the prince and male senshi of Earth, as well as the brother of Cassandra and Meredith.
~Since Cassi and Meri are twins, they couldn't both be Sailor Earth, thus Cassi was Sailor Italy and Meri was Sailor Scorpio.
~In the year 30th century, Crystal Tokyo is revived by Neo-Queen Serenity who is Serena's future self. During this time,the planets will be at harmony again.
~Meri will be one of Neo-Queen Serenity's most faithfl servants of her court.
~When Sailor Scorpio is fighting against the Negaverse, and she is angered deeply, she can call upon the powers of Scorpio, Italy, and the Earth combine to create a great amont of energy which she emits into a force field and a weapon against evil. The first time she used this, the Senshi were scared, and even the enemy she was about to destroy was so scared that she tranported back to her base in order to avoid destruction. This force of Sailor Scorpio's is so powerful that her hair clips fall out, her hair starts to flip around as if wind is blowing it, she has a greenish sort of glow around her, and even her eyes turn completely green. Her ability to do this made her a main target of the Negaverse, and they tried to kdnap her to change her to ther side, but she has almost defeated everyone she has come up against (Sailor Moon helped her out a few times).
~Sailor Scorpio and Sailor Italy have this magical power of which they can call upon the powers of Scorpio, Italy, and the Earth. They hold each others hands to combine this power together, which is like Sailor Scorpio's special power magnified times two! This makes the Twins very valuable to the Senshi. Although Sailor Italy could use this on her own, she doesn't because she is too afraid to.
~Each Sailor Senshi has this power of which Sailor Scorpio has become quite fond of, but they are too afraid to try to use it, and also not as powerful as the Twins. However, they do perform a thing called "Sailor Planet Attack," which is this power joined among the senshi.
~The Sailor Senshi in BSSM:TSE are: Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Venus, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Saturn, Sailor Uranus, Sailor Neptune, Sailor Pluto, Sailor Chibi Moon, Sailor ChibiChibi Moon, Sailor Star Fighter, Sailor Star Making, Sailor Star Healer, Sailor Italy, and Sailor Scorpio. You may also include Tuxedo Kamen/Mask as the male senshi of Earth.
~BSSM:TSE takes places in Margate, which is in South Florida, starting on June 1, 1999. School wasn't out for the local students, and Meri had been to a school up at her grandparents during the school year.
~Incase you're wondering "where on Earth is Margate, FL???", it's close to Ft. Lauderdale; it's somewhat of an urban area, with busy roads; Meri is living in an apartment complex with a variety of people -- some friendly, some introverted, some just don't want to have anything to do with others. The complex is generally quiet during the day except for the really young children who don't go to school yet; Meri cleans the house during the day while listening to various types of music (see "About Me"). The apartment she lives in has 3 bedrooms, so she has her own room, which she stays in quite often: her family life is semi-quiet but not much friction between mom and Meri(Meri and her younger sister, that's a different story! LOL).
~Meri, as a normal teenage girl, wants to go to the University of Florida (hehehe, are you seeing where I got the idea for my character from?? If not, go see "All About Me"), get part-time job working in an animal hospital, dance, and find that special someone in her life.
~Cassi, as a normal teenage girl, wants to become a well-known dancer or do something to help her country (Italy). She also enjoyies the typical fashion trends, sort of dressing "girlie."
~Due to the fact that Naoko-sensei used Greek Mythology to help her name some of her characters, I have also chosen this method of naming characters.
~The first 3 villans of the story are Alecto, Megaera, and Tisiphone; in Greek Mythology, these were the names of the 3 Furies. Originally, all 3 were girls, but I felt that Alecto would be looked upon as a more masculine name, and made that character a male.
~The Sirens are also a group of 3 Greek Mythologically thought up villans.
~The 5 Warriors were bad gods and a goddess, who I decided to put together to form for the Dark Kingdom.
~Queen Hecate's name was taken from Hecate, the goddess of darkness. She was once allied to the late Queen Beryl.
~Prince Kato Burraku's name is a Japanese name meaning "Black Rabbit"; I suppose you can say he is the alter ego of Princess Serenity, being that Usagi is of the White Moon Kingdom.
~I chose Lucifer's name because Lucifer is also another name for the devil. Being that he is very much devil-like, I felt it would be an appropriate name for him. He can be compared to Queen Metallia, the Wiseman, Pharoah 90, Zirconia, and Chaos.
~Couples(Families) in the Moon Kingdom and it's court (Manga version for the Inner Senshi): Princess Mercury + Zoisite; Princess Venus + Kunzite (Malachite in the Anime); Princess Mars + Jadeite; Princess Jupiter + Nephrite (Nephlite in the Anime); Haruka + Michiru; Luna + Artemis = Diana; Serenity II (Usagi) + Endymion (Mamoru) = Serenity III (ChibiUsa); Serenity III + Helios; ??? + ??? = Endymion, Cassandra, and Meredith; Serenity I + ??? = Serenity II
