[IC Information]
Character Name: Setsuna Meioh
Series: Sailor Moon
Gender: Female
Age: early 20s possibly 1000s of years old, it's kinda complicated in Sailor Moon
Species: Human (?)
Appearance: Setsuna is a very elegant woman when you first see her. She has skin as dark as mocha and dark black-green hair. Her hair she tends to let grow long and down to her waist, with parts of it pulled back into a bun behind her head. Her dark complexion is complemented by a pair of deep red eyes, the same garnet color as her tailsmen orb. Setsuna has long legs and a small waist to the point where some might mistake her for a model, especially given the fashionable clothes she likes to wear. Setsuna stands at about 5'7" and is considered one of the more mysterious of the senshi, given the aura she gives off. When not wearing her fashionable clothes of her human guise, Setsuna wears the standard uniform of a sailor senshi, a fuku with a red bow and black skirt and collar. This outfit also comes with boots and gloves. She is also often seen with a garnet orb which she typically keeps atop a rod shaped like a giant key.
Personality: Setsuna is very much the quiet type. She prefers to meditate over matters on her own and can even appear to be cold and stand-offish at times. Some would even go so far as to describe her as appearing sad or lonely. It's not that she does not enjoy the company of others, she's just not very adept at interacting with people due to her own past. Setsuna was always a solitary figure due to her duty as the guardian of the gates of time (a position that would not allow her to interact with anyone else other than Queen Serenity). After all that time, Setsuna is used to being on her own. This makes it difficult for her to open up to others, although because of Small Lady's interaction with her and the companionship of the Outer Senshi, she has learned to be a little more open. She is certainly not as emotional as most people, but her love and compassion for others runs very deep within her.
Thankfully, Setsuna has warmed up some since being allowed to live as a human with the other Outer senshi. She has a strong compassion for the other girls that makes her come across as almost a maternal figure. She also has a "weakness" to small children and will often act motherly towards them (ie Hotaru and Small Lady). It's not a surprise then, that inside Setsuna can be a very warm person. She does like to help other people, even if she cannot always do so directly. She is a very good listener and, being as old as she is, her wisdom also aids in her ability to help others. Unfortunately her sadness comes through in that sometimes she is unable to or even forbidden to help those she cares about due to her duties as a guardian of time. She is not supposed to change the past or stop time for any reason and the price is high if she uses these powers. As such, Setsuna spends a lot of time watching events happen and sadly doing nothing to stop them unless the need is great enough for her to make that sacrifice.
Her quiet nature aside, Setsuna does have passions that might seem odd for someone of her type. She is very much interested in fashion and sewing. She does not often have the chance to put this interest to practice, but it is an interest of hers none-the-less. It is because of this that Setsuna strives to be elegant and dresses such, even when the need might not call for it.
She also has a strong love for history (obviously) and science. She has spent her time as a human both as a nurse at a high school and as a Physics student at university. Setsuna spends a lot of her free time, when she isn't designing clothes, to read a variety of books and keep up-to-date on current science theories. Setsuna may not share the IQ of Ami, but she is a very knowledgeable and experienced woman. She is an excellent resource in any number of areas, not just the ones mentioned above.
Interesting to note, despite her powers and strength, Setsuna's greatest fear is of cockroaches.
Abilities: Setsuna is a sailor soldier and guardian to the gates of time and princess of Pluto. She possesses certain powers because of this status, most of them connected to her sailor crystal and her garnet orb & rod. Her element, as you might guess, is time. Setsuna is Pluto's civilian form and in order to become Pluto she must use the Pluto Crystal and call out "Pluto Crystal Power, Make Up!"
As a senshi, she is stronger and faster than an average human. She is capable of hand-to-hand combat and calling on a great deal of energy-based attacks in order to fight. Setsuna is also very-much in tune with the flow of time and can often sense changes in the course of the time stream, especially if something major has occurred to disturb its natural flow. While Setsuna has some control over time/space, she was given several taboos which she must not break (but has broken anyway on one occasion or another): she must not travel through time, she must not abandon her post at the Door, and she must never cause time to stop. Of course, in the span of the manga, she has broken all three of the taboos and her life ended. These abilities are taboo for a reason. If she were to use them in game she would die, so that is hopefully limit enough...but if not we can say that her ability to even use these powers is nixed. Also she will not have access to the gates of time while trapped in the world of dreams. No exit card for you Setsuna Meioh.
Her most common attacks are as followed: Dead Scream (an energy blast attack), Chronos Typhoon (sends a blast of wind at the enemy for massive damage), and Garnet Ball (creates a shield using the Garnet Orb).
There are other powers that are available to her such as the Sailor Teleport and a sort of psychic link with the other sailors, however this is more of a group effort and isn't something she can do on her own.
Oh, and she can perform small magic tricks with her Garnet Rod by saying "Abra Kadabra." Mostly this is making stuff appear out of nowhere and mostly for fun/to entertain Small Lady. Basic magician stuff really. The Garnet Rod and Orb, while shaped like a key, is not to be confused with the series' keyblades and they have no relation. Setsuna unlocks the gates of time, not people's hearts. However, she is very skilled at using the Rod as a weapon in combat and it has magical properties as well, mostly used in the attacks mentioned above.
Items: Her sailor crystal henshin wand. Also her Garnet Orb and Rod, it comes with the transformation and is kind of tied to her existence...really a lot like those keyblades that they are totally not like at all.
History: Sailor Pluto/Setsuna's history can get a bit tangled, mostly because she has guarded the gates of time for so long and it is a place that is technically set OUTSIDE of time itself. Sailor Pluto has been guarding those gates since the Silver Millenium began, assigned the task by Queen Serenity herself and placed there from what appears to be the age of 10 to 13 (though the senshi age slowly as it is, so it is difficult to say for sure). Pluto is not allowed to leave the gates and is forced from this spot of isolation to watch the Silver Millennium fall to the powers of Chaos.
At some point in time, though it's hard to tell where it falls in Pluto's personal timeline, she is met by the future daughter of Sailor Moon, Chibiusa. Chibiusa stumbles into her realm by accident after a day of being bullied. Pluto comforts the child and quickly becomes friends with her after showing the tiny princess magic tricks. Unfortunately, this isn't enough to prevent Chibiusa from stealing a time key of Pluto's and traveling to the past. This happens after Crystal Tokyo is attacked and Chibiusa sees it as her chance to get help from the past to save her mother and others. However, when Chibiusa attempts to return to the future with Sailor Moon and others in tow, Sailor Pluto steps in to stop them. She was tasked with preventing the time gate from being used and nearly kills Sailor Moon and the others, but Chibiusa stops her from killing them just in time. Sailor Pluto lets the pass into the future, but is unable to actually help them accomplish their goal of saving the 30th century, even when Chibiusa turns dark side briefly. Pluto spends her time on the sideline until Prince Demande tries to connect the Silver Crystal of the past and future, which would end everything. Pluto can no longer sit back and stops time to prevent the crystals from meeting. However, this action costs Pluto her life and she dies shortly after Sailor Moon and Venus separate the crystals in the frozen Prince's hands. It is during this time that Chibiusa returns to her former self and also is able to become Chibi Moon, an act brought on by Pluto's death in her grief.
This is not the end of Pluto's story however. After she dies, Pluto is allowed to be reborn like the sailor senshi before her. She is reborn on earth as Setsuna Meioh. Setsuna's past as a mortal is unclear, although given her living conditions and such in the manga it can be assumed she came from a wealthy family of some kind. Setsuna, at first, seems to have no memory of her time as a sailor senshi or guardian of time. It isn't until she happens to pick up and is attacked by a plant from a member of an evil organization of aliens known as the Death Busters that she starts to remember her past life. It is during this time that she awakens and draws both Michiru and Haruka to her as fellow teammates, Outer Senshi.
After regaining her memories and reclaiming her task as a protector of the Solar System from the Outer Planets, she aids Haruka (Uranus) and Michiru (Neptune) in attempting to stop the Death Busters though Mugen Academy. It turns out that they have a secondary goal as well: to prevent the awakening of the mysterious Sailor Saturn, who would end all life as they knew it just as she did in the Silver Millennium. Unfortunately, Saturn awakens anyway after a major battle occurs and the Senshi are left mostly defeated. However, instead of ending the world, Saturn seals herself away with the invaders and Pluto seals the rift in the dimensions. Saturn is then reborn, again, and the three Outers take the baby away to raise her under their care.
Setsuna does not step in again until some months later. In that intervening time, Setsuna and the other Outer Senshi have been raising Hotaru as their own child, though she has been growing at an accelerated rate they cannot explain. Saturn is awakened once again, but this time with a dire warning and a new purpose as a senshi. The Outers are warned that their princess is in danger and they must once again step in to help. They are put through battles and nightmares, but once again the Senshi come out on top and force the bad guys away once more.
Recently, in the peace to come, Setsuna has taken on the guise of a nurse at the school Chibiusa and Hotaru are attending. She seems to enjoy it a lot and is very popular among the students. It is while this is taking place that Setsuna begins to wonder if the peace will last and in her sleep later that night finds herself in another world instead.
First-Person Communicator Sample: [Setsuna is sitting at a cafe with the communicator propped up. She seems fairly comfortable with using it. Her dark hair falls over her shoulders and she brushes it back. A cup of tea can be seen sitting in front of her and, for the moment, she is in fashionable civilian clothes. She offers the broadcast a warm, if small, smile.]
Hello. My name is Setsuna Meioh. I've been filled in on what I believe are the basics of this place and what has been going on. Or at least that we are dreaming here. I'm afraid the Moogle could not give me much information in who was here or who would be a good person to speak with about the current problems that result in people being pulled into dreams.
[She sighs, letting it turn into an action that cools her tea. She raises the cup to her lips, sips, and then sets it back down, musing as she looks down at the tea, pensive.]
I thought I was done worrying about being attacked in my dreams. I suppose my prediction that the peace would not last was accurate.
[She looks up. Trying to appear cool, calm, and collected.]
I'll be at this outdoors cafe if you would like to meet in person. I do prefer speaking that way over communication devices like this...but I can understand if you are shy to meet me.
Third-Person RP Sample: Setsuna's eyes slowly opened as light trickled in through the partially opened blinds. It wasn't often that she got the chance to sleep in, but Michiru and Haruka had insisted on taking Hotaru out early that day. It left the house quiet enough for Setsuna to sleep well past her normal time of waking up. She yawned as sat up in bed, brushing strands of green hair out of her face, "I can't believe how late it is." Setsuna glanced at the bedside clock to be sure of her hunch. It was nearly 10 o'clock. Setsuna frowned slightly, "Haruka would say I'm turning into Minako or Usagi, this isn't good."
She rolled out of bed, slightly less elegantly than normal and padded towards the kitchen. There was a lot to be done today, even if it was a day off from her typical duties with Hotaru. She needed to get the spring cleaning started and she still had some errands to run in preparation for dinner that evening. Setsuna couldn't help but berate herself a bit for sleeping in so long. It was her own fault really, staying up late the evening before reading over the latest theories in the topic of theoretical physics.
Setsuna hummed to herself as she fixed a cup of tea. Haruka had left her the morning paper to read and it looked as though Michiru had already cut a fresh boquet of flowers and placed them on the kitchen table. Setsuna picked up the paper and sighed, "Things may be at peace for us, but this period of time is still one of great turmoil." It was the typical headlines of war and political unrest. Setsuna knew what the future held, but it still troubled her to see these things and sometimes made her wonder how the peaceful world of the 30th century would ever come about.
She was about to toss the paper aside when something small and dark skittered across the linoleum floor of the kitchen. Setsuna froze, her entire body tensing up as her mind raced for what had caused the image. She looked out of the corner of her eyes and let out a very undignified squeak. A cockroach! In her house! Setsuna bit her lip and tried not to make any sudden movements. The bug was lurking near the island in the middle of the kitchen and she was several feet away near the table. If she moved slowly maybe she could avoid it.
'It's so gross! Oh Chronos please keep it over there,' she thought to herself, her eyes never leaving the sight of the roach. It's antenna twitched as Setsuna took a step back. Where was Haruka when she needed her! Setsuna slowly backed out of the kitchen, her eyes never deviating from the sight of the bug. She could not BELIEVE that thing had gotten in here. They were usually so good about keeping such vermin out. Setsuna hated to do it, but she knew she had no choice. She was going to have to run back to the bedroom and call Haruka.
The soldier of time made it back to her room and shut the door. Her entire body shuddered as she thought back to the cockroach. Those things just really gave her the creeps. Still, she felt safer in her bedroom. With a sigh of resignation, knowing she would never hear the end of this as usual, she walked over to the bedroom phone and dialed Haruka's number.
