By

3.1K Views

Description

Name: Cephei
Age: Indeterminate
Date of Birth: Unknown

 Senshi Name: Sailor Star Eater

Realm of Influence: Rebirth, Healing
Powers/Abilities: 
*Lighter than Air: Cephei can resist gravity for small periods of time, as he is used to travelling great distances in the vacuum of space.
*Healing Hands: Cephei can heal simple wounds without a great expenditure of power.

Combat:
*Serenity Spiral - Support: Using his sceptre, Cephei summons a spiral of light that binds and incapacitates an enemy, setting them up for a far more destructive attack from his teammates.
*Luminous Pulse - Offensive: At the moment, it is Sailor Star Eater's sole offensive attack. Luminous pulse is a Wave Attack, radiating out of his sceptre. The attack washes over the battlefield, tearing up the terrain, converting the debris into chunks of raw crystal, which are sent as projectiles, propelled by the waves of light.
*Corona Communion - Support: A mass healing attack. The seal of Cepheus covers the ground, forming an AoE (Area of Effect). At the edges of the seal, shards of light seep out of the ground, and form a 'crown-like' circle around the party. Corona Communion can act as a purifying spell, as well, dispelling darkness, fog, or illusions.
*Note: May work as an offense attack if the target is aligned with dark/poison/'evil' elements*

Personality Overview:

Cephei is gentle and reserved, choosing words over confrontation. Though this may seem cowardly, he is capable of bouts of great courage, considering he is not a fighter, and is at a great disadvantage in a fight. He tends to mother-hen his little 'family' of sailor senshi.

They do portray some truly 'alien' traits, such as an almost mechanical observance of social rules, and a deep curiosity about human behavior. Sometimes to the point of discomfort for the person being observed. Though he means well.
According to Cephei, his 'moods' are an anomaly. Uncharacteristic for his species, and can shake them badly, though by a human standard they are quite mild. 

Brief History:

Cephei, like the rest of his species, was born from a star, for a utilitarian purpose. During the height of a Galactic War, many senshi were injured, unable to continue the fight. With all warriors engaged, there were none who could take on the role of medic. So, Cephei's people were sprung to life.
Golem-like shapeshifters, with the ability to heal. They swarmed the battlefield, gathering up the dead and dying. When bodies were beyond saving, they scooped the dimming crystals from their chests, and in an act that gave the constructs their name, 'ate' the crystals.
They could store many within themselves, safe from harm or influence, where they could regenerate, before returning to the Cauldron to be reborn.

Star Eaters, over many generations, became warped in the eyes of people. They were recognized as bad omens, a sign that the tide of battle was turning for the worst. They were losing. The myth changed as well, and some began to fear the Star Eaters were, in fact, devouring the starseeds of senshi.

Unaware of their true purpose, a hunt began. And many of Cephei's people were struck down. With no true soul, or starseed of their own, they were returned to stardust, and disappeared. There were no children among them, for the Star Eaters were meant to safeguard life, not give it.
Their ranks dwindled, until only a small handful remained, and they retreated into hiding for centuries, fighting to ignore the call of starseeds flickering and dying, for the sake of their own existence.

When Cephei came to Earth to warn the senshi there of a coming threat, he recognized that he would need to take a more direct approach toward protecting and aiding others. So, he took on a senshi-like form, under the name given to his kind. Sailor Star Eater.
 

Participant Questionnaire

1. Please take a moment to introduce yourself to us.

My name is Cephei, named for the cluster of stars I was born from. But I go by Sailor Star Eater, as well.

 2. Tell us something that will help us remember you.

I suppose being one of the only remaining members of my kind is memorable. And my apparent lack of gender. As a being made of stardust, I have no true form, only the one I choose to project. So I am neither male nor female, but choose a form that is comfortable. I am flexible about the pronouns people choose to use, as well. He, or she, or they, as I recognize that my form will seem different to everyone. 

 3. Describe your typical day.

My days are peaceful. I wake with the twins every morning, and see them off to school. I make certain that Shirudo eats his breakfast, and makes it to work in a timely fashion. Recently, I have taken an interest in human medicine, and I would like to study to become an obstetrician, or perhaps a doula. Both would make use of my powers, and would give me a sense of fulfillment. When I am not studying, I take time to travel the Earth. It's very lovely here.

 4. What makes you happy and what makes you scared?

My odd little family makes me very happy. I feel closer to them than I did to my own kind, which…is in it's own way cruel. They were my siblings. I should have loved them most of all. But sometimes the family we choose is dearest to us.
Family...also brings to mind things I fear. I fear for their safety. I fear that one day they will all die, and I will be left alone. I'm timeless. But when I do pass, it will be forever. So I must enjoy my time with them for as long as I can. 

5. What do you find most challenging about being a senshi?

Combat is most certainly challenging. I have no love for violence, and harming others is the antithesis of my purpose. But I understand that sometimes, we must go outside of our comfort zones.

 6. Who is your role model and how do they inspire you?

I greatly admire the Moon Princess, Serenity. Her endless capacity for love and forgiveness is beyond admirable. Her strength doesn't come from force, but from her heart. I hope someday, I can exhibit that same strength.

7. What would you name your autobiography?

I have considered authoring some stories, but never about myself. I have seen so many places, and known so many beings. If I were to write about my existence…I would call it  'Homeostasis'.

8. Do you believe in fate/destiny, or do you believe you write your own story?
I...suppose it depends. Watching the beings around me has given me some hope that we can change our fate. They all fight to make the future brighter, and I hope they are not disappointed.
As for myself, I am duty bound. My fate is written in stone. I will fight, I will die, and I will not return. It fills me with fear. But…perhaps, my choosing to come here, to Earth, and fight alongside them has changed something. Only time will tell.
 

9. Do you have other teammates? What are they like? If not, do you wish you had some?

I do. I have three close companions. A trio of siblings. Hikari is a bright, energetic girl, full of fight. Enma, her brother, is a dour boy, but he has a good heart, and takes good care of his siblings. And uh…the eldest, Shirudo. He's a doting brother, and a good provider. And so very brave and faithful.

Perhaps someday the rest of my kind will join me, and we can form our own sort of team. It would do my heart good to see them take up our cause again. 

10. What do you hope to accomplish by competing in this pageant?

I hope, by entering this pageant, I can reach out to the rest of my kind, and bring them out of hiding. Encourage them to join me, and do our part, rather than hide away. We were meant to give our all to protect others. And perhaps, others in the universe will stand up as well. 

11. Do you have anyone special out there cheering for you? Would you like to give them a shout out?

. . . Yes. I hope. My team, my family. They are one in the same. I know they'll be cheering for me, and even if I lose, they will be proud of me.
