Help V.4.o
by SailorFreak, Maji, and Charis
Okay, so you've read the whole page, checked all the character profiles, and gotten a decent idea for the senshi or villian you want to apply for? Good; then you're officially ready to check out the help site! We can't garuntee that using this website will automatically get you into the RPG, but it will certainly up your chances of approval. The information herein has been compiled by Maji, Sailorfreak, and Charis in the 3 years this RPG has been in service and has been gathered from various websites over the net.
Please keep in mind that you don't need to play your character EXACTLY like the god or goddess they represent--the senshi are avatars, not actual gods and goddesses--assuming that certain relationships between gods and goddesses exist between game characters is powerplay, even if the other character is available for application. You can figure all that stuff out AFTER you've been accepted!
The Good
Artemis
Family: Leto (mother); Zeus (father); Apollo (twin brother)
Artemis, the virgin goddess, is commonly associated with the hunt, fertility,
forests, and wild animals. She was often depicted with a crescent moon on her
forehead and carrying a bow and arrow constructed by Hepheastus and the Cyclopses.
She was incredibly posessive; horribly punishing those who disrespected her
or the wild life she came to protect--there are several legends where she killed
Orion, and one where she turned a man, who look upon her and her nymphs while
they were baithing, into a stag and had his hunting dogs kill him.
Other names/Epithets/Followers: Cynthia, Amarynthia, Potnia Theron, Kourotrophos,
Locheia, Agrotera, Callisto
Athena
family: Metis (mother); Zeus (father)
Athena, Greek goddess of wisdom, war, the arts, industry, justice and skill,
was born from the skull of Zeus by Hepheastus after he swallowed her mother,
Metis. Athena was a skilled weaver and was challanged by Arachne, whom she changed
into a spider. She changed Medusa into a gorgon and had her head put into the
Aegis, a shield which she wore over her breastplate. The city of Athens was
named after Athena, rather than Poseidon, because Athena gave the city a better
gift--the olive tree. Athena's attributes were the owl and the spear, her companion
is Nike.

Demeter
Family: Chronus (father); Rhea (mother); Zeus (brother); Persephone (daughter);
Despina (daughter); Hestia (sister); Hera (sister) Poseidon (brother); Hades

Primarily, Demeter is a goddess of the earth, but can also be considered to
rule the domains of planned society, marrage, and agriculture. Demeter is generally
portrayed as a solomn woman, seated, wearing a woven wreath of ears of corn;
her symbolic attributes are the torch (associated with her search for Persephone)
and the fruits of the earth. She is the mother of Persephone by Zeus; her daughter
was captured by the god of the underworld, Hades, and hidden away in the underworld.
Demeter frantically searched for her daughter, taking the form of an old woman-Doso-while
she roamed the earth. Eventually, Persephone was returned to her mother, but
only for half of the year. The half of the year Persephone spent with her mother
was considered summer and spring, while the half she spent in the underworld,
Demeter made fall and winter. Her sacred animals were the snake and the pig.

fertility of nature, and acting. He was either born from the thigh of Zeus or
by Persephone and then Semele, but he was raised by nymphs. He is one of the
later Greek gods, not mentioned in early myth. He is generally followed around
by Maenads, frenzied women clothed in vines and deer skin.

family: Zeus(father); Hera(mother); Heracles (husband)

if she ate lettuce or slapped her hand on the ground she could become pregnant.
Hera restored her virginity every year by baithing in the well Canathus. She
was incredibly violent when it came to taking revenge on those she disliked.

Overdone Stuff (in this RPG)
*sleeveless fuku - A lot of senshi in this RPG
seem to have sleeveless fukusei. Why not keep the sleeves or make elbow length
sleeves or something?
*fuku colors - Green and red are the two most used colors in this RPG. We don't
need anymore.
*out past bedtime, leather wearin, under aged drinkin', reefer smokin bad girls
- okay, so maybe they aren't weedos, but we have/had a LOT of 'bad girl' types
in this RPG. One or two is fine, but I reckon we had about 4 at one point in
time.
*people without boyfriends - goddammit, date around! You kids are in highschool,
you shouldn't be restricting yourself to ONE GUY! :E Ask one of the already
members if you can use one of their NPCs as a Beau.
