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 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.

_I. Background/History_
_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 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.
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.
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)
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.
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.
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 theirnigh-immortality and incredible resistance to damage and you have onevery 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 haveshown 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)

Kaiou Michiru
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.

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.

Meiou Setsuna
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.]
Distinctive Features: Dark green hair, very beautiful.
Name:
Aliases: Sailor Pluto
Transformation: Pluto Planet Power, Make Up

Mizuno Ami
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.
Birthdate: September 10, 1980, Virgo

Osaka Naru
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.
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 Icon of the Star Kingdom
Ten'ou Haruka
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.
Birthdate: January 27, 1979, Aquarius
Distinctive Features: Extremely masculine.
Name:
Aliases: Sailor Uranus
Transformation:
Tomoe Hotaru
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.

Umino Gurio
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 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. He is blissfully unaware that
the villain he made up is quite real and is starting to become aware of
them.
Birthdate: December 23, 1980. Capricorn.
Distinctive Features: Wild hair, coke-bottle glasses, geeky behavior.
Name:
Aliases: Turquoise, Tuxedo Umino Kamen
Transformation: None
Powers: He has a knack for getting the dirt on people.
Item(s): His glasses, which he has NEVER been seen without.
Special Item: None

Age:
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.
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: None stated
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.
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 Liscence
Quote: "I have no idea how that bucket got over your door."
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...
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 :)
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.
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
Symphony 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.
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 :)
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!"

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.

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: None stated, if any.
Obsidian thought she was a princess, though. :)
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.
Name: Luna
AKA:
First Appearance: Prelude
Series of Origin: Sailor Moon
Silver Millenium Identity if any or stated: Luna
Age: Thousands of years, mostly in suspended animation.
Mostly unchanged. She fears that she is going senile because of her
spotty memory. In Z5, a flashback reveals that she and Artemis are from
Venus. In Z7, we see that she was the unofficial 'mistress of etiquette
and protocol' in the Moon court and occassional unwilling plaything for
Royal children :) In Z11, she relearns how to assume human form. In Z16,
her mother, Queen Hecate shows up, and we learn she is the daughter of
the Queen of the Venusian cats. She and Artemis are reviving their old
relationship.
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.
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.
Himeko's powers:

He can come alive and talk to her when no one who doesn't know his secret

First Appearance: Z4
Series of Origin: Sailor Moon S
Silver Millenium Identity if any or stated: None stated as of

when in college. In episode 6, he was infected by the Gibberling disease,
but Saturn cured him. He is in love with Setsuna, and as of episode 8,
they are engaged.
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)
Name: Udaigaku Noriko
AKA: Gives other people nicknames :)
First Appearance: Z4

Noriko is Ami's roomate, and Sensei Udaigaku's granddaughter. She has
long electric blue hair, deep green eyes, and a bouncy personality. An
expert programmer, she is working on a Sailor Senshi fighting game with
Yuki. She has the odd quirk of dropping the first syllable from everyone's
name, and she calls virtually everyone -chan.
She dated Haruka in episode 9, and demonstrated superhuman strength,
which piqued Haruka's curiosity.
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.

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 itspockets 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.

An elven lord who is dispatched to test Senshi Venus' fitness to wield

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. Thatfact 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 hadthree.
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 soundingname, though
some dragons sniggered that the twenty-third syllablesounded close to a
vulgar euphemism for bodily waste. The third namewas for those species
too benighted to be born dragons. That name wasBob." (Z14)
Bob is Derith's ally and mount. How they came to work together has yet

Most of the cast of Beverly Hills 90210 and the Brady Bunch are mentioned
in Z5 and Z7.
Mel Gibson has a one line cameo in Z17. He sneezes.
Kimagure Orange Road: Kyousuke, Manami, and Kurumi Kasuga (Z5),
Hikaru Hiyama (Z5), Ayukawa Madoka (Z16 and Z18)
Mahou Tsukai Tai: Aburatsubo (Z10)
Marmalade Boy: Hotaru wears a T-shirt from this series in episode
8. Yet, Miki shows up as a real person in episode 17. For that matter,
GASTAMAN (from the Marmalade Boy movie) show up in episode 8! 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

The Captain
"The Captain, a red-haired, red-bearded, red-faced man of indeterminate
age, sat nearby in a crude wheelchair shaped like a boat." (Z16) A
mildly deranged elf who brings the judges of Venus' fitness to Earth in
Z16.
*****
Dia
An elven lady who is dispatched to test Senshi Venus' fitness to wield
the Bow of Venus. An old lover of Athena. Maternal half-sister to Derith
Moontears. "Her skin was a light golden tan. It was readily apparent
that this was her natural skin color because she was showing so much of
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)
*****
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 has yet to be brave enough to try using it. :)
*****
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)
*****
Furuhata Motoki
Mamoru's best friend. Not much changed from the canon.
*****
Gastaman
Originally appearing in the Marmalade Boy Movie, they appear in SMZ8
as the younger brothers of some of the members of the TDDC. They consist
of Alpha, Beta, Zeta, Omega, and Gastaman!. Real names unknown.
Armed with water pistols, they somehow slipped past Pluto's time sense
and hosed down the Outer Senshi. Perhaps one of the Three meddled?
******
Gibberlings
"The Gibberlings had been an experiment in youma technology that
Queen Beryl had played with and later abandoned. The "art" of crafting
youma through Metallica's dark power was not an exact science. Beryl
had used over half a dozen sick and twisted geniuses to mold living beings
into youma. The Gibberlings had been their last and most warped
creation. Or rather, the Gibberlings were the offshoots of that
creation. The madmen had made what they dubbed a "youma virus."
It infected healthy organisms with Metallica's power and mutated
them into warped parodies of youmas. It then linked the victims into a
giant collective intelligence. The virus had infected its creators
and ran rampant through the Dark Kingdom before being bound by
magic. It was a slow process in youma, but frighteningly quick in
normal creatures, those lacking any type of magical resistance. First,
were the minor mutations, like changes in blood chemistry or minor
physiological transformations. Beryl and her generals had suffered from
that stage of the disease. The victims changed into youmas, some with
great power. More serious changes then took place, the agonies of which
often unhinged the minds of the victims. Finally, the communal mind would
link itself with its mad puppet. One could stop the virus in the early
stages, but no one in the Dark Kingdom could reverse its changes. Queen
Beryl had been furious and locked the Gibberlings in the deepest hole she
could find. They remained there until this madman let them out." (Z6)

for the youma who helped deceive Sayuri in Z13. Appears in Z16. "The

Her fur was as black as space. It seemed almost like starlight radiated
from it as she moved. On her brow, a silver crescent moon sat, seeming

nose. His clothing, the Tsunami uniform, was unremarkable as well. Only
a small scar under his right ear made him stand out at all." First
appeared in Z10 when he met Athena in Ami's body at a party. He believes
Ami suffers from multiple personalities (this is what Setsuna told him).
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.

*****
Minister of Education
The Zodiac attempted to influence him at the New Year's Festival, but
their astrologer bumped into Usagi first. Also shows up in Yamamoto's office
photos.
*****
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 ofsturdy 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

magical potential.
*****
Nephrite
Formerly a Guardian of Endymion and engaged to Senshi Jupiter, Nephrite
was corrupted by Beryl and made a General of the Dark Kingdom. He led part
of the attack that destroyed the Moon Kingdom and slew Senshi Jupiter.
Imprisoned in the Dark Kingdom with the others, he waited out the millenia
until the Dark Kingdom could once again attack the Earth. When he "died"
in the anime, his essence was actually incorporated in the Great Shield
by Naru's nascent power. He became the Guardian of the Great Shield, working
(loosely) with Sailor Pluto and the Three to prevent the intrusion of the
Things from Beyond. He has discovered the remains of the Dark Kingdom and
Jadeite and taunts his former colleague at times.

an idol band. Their CDs include 'KLUNK Live From Kyoto' and 'Symphony from
Saturn' (newest). "He was tall and thin with short messy blond hair
and an odd accent that Poppa said reminded him of the time he had
gone to New York City. However, Poppa also said that their music reminded
him of the noises that the New York Subway makes when a train is running
at full speed, and she didn't agree with that at all." (Z12)
*****

except for his hands, which were oddly calloused for an intellectual type.
He was slightly shorter than Jill, which made him about the same height
as Minako." (Z5)
Jill Pole's boyfriend, and a better runner than Minako expected. Another
friend of Minako's from Experiment House. Eustace is simply his pseudonym,

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.
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"
See Secondary Characters.

A stern disciplinarian. If only the students ever paid any attention
to him... Successfully faced down a Chaos Spirit in 16

over the Past, Present, and Future. They have been charged with overseeing
the maintenance of the Great Shield and have existed since the Founders
created it. They oversee Nephrite's role in the Great Shield and advise/are
advised by Pluto and the Fungi from Yuggoth. During the Silver Millenium,
the Three were advisors to the Royal Family of the Star Kingdom. Wiseman
of Nemesis aped their general appearance.
*****
Queen Topaz
The Beryl equivalent in the first season of the Sailor V manga in the
Sailor Moon Z universe (no such being exists to my knowledge in the Sailor
V manga in the real universe). Mentioned in Z9.
*****
Torg Characters
Umino runs a TORG campaign, in which the Senshi and Senshi auxillaries
all play. (Well, most of them, anyway.) They are up against one of the

_B. Secondary Characters_
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 becomes a Pluto in training in Z10 and 11 after discovering
she can use Pluto's Time Staff. She has the same powers as Sailor Pluto,
but is much less adept at them.
