Sailor Moon Nanoha as Serenity: Take Two!

#26
At first I was wondering who would actually be a big enough faggot to say "I want to do the same thing another writer did, but I know I can do it better because the other writer is an idiot". Then I realized Darth Artemis.

Still sucking your own dick, I see. Not having a spine must help with that.

Who do you think has Endymion's star seed? :p

Come on. Really? Precia being boss fight material?
Planet-buster Senshi isn't a thing that happens until at least late in the second or third season and right now I'm focusing on just the Dark Kingdom, so yes. If Precia were at the top of her game she'd be a natural SS-rank mage, and that puts her somewhere around where the Generals are (or at least Kunzite. Giving Jadeite and the rest their manga power levels might actually be a nerf now that I think of it).
Nephrite seems to be the only one who sucks of the bunch in the manga since he got oneshotted by Makoto before we could genuinely see anything. Zoicite killed everyone in Tokyo through his killer broadcast and got killed by Minako, that's a pretty respectable death. Jadeite still created a dimension to shove those bus victims in before Rei burnt him to death.

Manga canon has the Senshi except Moon all die in practically every arc. They've been stabbed, slashed, shot, strangled, exploded, mind-raped, mind-controlled, and disintegrated before being brought back as magical zombies. Then Moon brings them back. From a strictly ruthless point of view, the Senshi were practically guaranteed a win every time; the tension is in the fact that these are characters not RTS units, and they still felt pain and trauma, both emotional and physical. The inner Senshi in particular, become more and more psychologically dependent on Moon as the series goes on. Near the end, Venus was still talking about boys and hanging out; she was told to drop the act whereupon she seriously confessed that she'd already dedicated her life to someone cough*Usagi*cough.

Mid-Bosses, even when they were rival Senshi, rarely lasted more than a couple of chapters. The body count in the manga is staggering; the Senshi defeated or killed, directly or indirectly, something like forty named villains over seventy chapters.
They died twice.

First arc to slow down Metallia, Usagi wasn't even actually aware of this to my knowledge when she mass revived the earth.

The final arc death's was a big deal since for once, Usagi's victims did not have a body to revive them. The starlights comforted her by saying Senshi could revive so long as their sailor crystal was in tact and it's what kept her going for that whole arc. Kakyuu's last words to Usagi that the Sailor crystals were their hope and keep strong.

That was a big reason Galaxia dropped their sailor crystals in the sea of origin was supposed to be a slap in the face. Usagi no longer had anything physical to revive anyone with. The sea of origin was supposed to completely melt them away. It was at this point, Chibiusa disappeared from the time stream since there was nothing left of Mamoru.

Then Usagi got over that limitation when she revived the Galaxy. Her resurrection powers are disgustingly haxx. Remember ESM is her third strongest form in series. NQS once reincarnated someone backwards in time and literally hand waved a city back to life as soon as she woke up.

First Arc Usagi didn't actually know her power was resurrection until Zoicite almost exposed her as Princess Serenity to my memory. Until that point she thought she was just healing. Zoicite just knew his killer broadcast succeeded and realized she genuinely resurrected his victims with her own power. So until Princess Serenity becomes obvious the resurrection trick doesn't come into play.

Edit: Another limiter with her resurrection is that Usagi took at least four power ups before her resurrection effected anything but the newly dead. NQS and ESM were the only ones who revived people who have been dead for a long stretch of time.

You must not like Peptuck very much either. Is there a point to this post or are you just being a douchebag for the hell of it?

I like most of it, but I don't think senshi should be an al hazard creation.
Why not? This way ties them into the larger context of the multiverse and also explains why there aren't Senshi in other universes.

I'm not saying the Senshi will be planet-busting level at first, but the Dark Generals were each killed off in their first appearance. That's why I question how much of a threat Precia can really be.

Hate to say it, Darth, but he has a point. It really wasn't necessary for the "Because bissek can't write a Sailor Moon crossover to save his life." line. I like your idea (mostly), and this thread, but the jab at bissek was kinda dickish.

Nephrite and Jadeite were the weak ones. Kunzite and Zoicite were decent threats to the senshi. Both Zoicite and Kunzite could spam citywide effects.Kunzite needed a Sailor Planet attack and he would have had the advantage in their fight in space if they hadn't visited the moon before. Zoicite got killed by Minako, the most experienced of the bunch joining the inners at that moment.

Why can't there be senshi in those other universes? The senshi here are a result of refugees fleeing the senshi wars (unless I'm misremembering and Seiya can correct me). All that requires is that this is the only universe the TSB has encountered where this occurred. The universe is a large place afterall. Infinite variations and all that.

The inners and outers were born lunarians and QS gave them a princess title and a castle when they were born.

The Sailor Wars inn the anime was Galaxia and other Senshi fighing with Chaos since the beginning of time.

In the manga the Sailor Wars was the Name of Galaxia's extermination.

Senshi are also very rare. This solar system is a pervert for having 17 celestial bodies be senshi (Inners, Outers, Moon Family, Phobos/Deimos, Amazoness). The closest to our system is the Kinmoku solar system with 4.

Because the bureau would have encountered them before, and then they become something known and pedestrian like all the other mages. "Oh yeah, Senshi. Like Sailor Mid-Childa, that girl in the skirt who work the front desk on Tuesdays at Ground Forces HQ." Remember that I'm trying to preserve the Senshi as something awesome and powerful and messianic. Tying them into Al Hazard as the heirs to AH's power makes them this on a multidimensional scale as opposed to just being a local thing.

While this image is funny, wouldn't Sailor Mid-Childa be a SS-ranked mage or higher? She wouldn't be working a simple desk job.

You know, not liking an author is one thing. You are allowed your opinions on their work, but this is uncalled for. You are acting like a child, and this is obviously an attack on an author who has put forth his/her work for review. Next time you want to attack someone for having the guts to actually put something into the site for public view, remember that this is not in any way a professional board, and your attitude towards Bissek does you no credit.

Put your money where your mouth is, or shut up.

He has a point though, Seras. Bissek has had years to justify why he nerfed the Senshi, why he made them idiots, and so on and so forth. This isn't anything new, or sudden.

The only "unreasonable" thing he's done in this thread was his choice of words. Having read through WDoTM, I can see where he's coming from. :p I agree with the intent behind the words, if not the coarseness of the language.

Think of it as a <a href='http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FixFic' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Fix Fic.</a> We like the basic concept of Bissek's work, we just don't like his execution, so basically we're making a fanfic of Bissek's fanfic and saying "Let's see if we can do this right".

So what does Bissek, or any of his fans, care? If this story bombs, we'll be no worse off than we were before. If it turns out good, then that's reason enough to do this. Bissek spent years ignoring us, it won't bother him to ignore us a little longer.

Also, the character in your avatar threatened to kill her sovereign and take over his place if he didn't do a good job. Now your complaining because someone else is threatening the same thing, only with fanfics. The irony is strong in this one. Bonus irony points if the OP starts ignoring detractors the same way Bissek did. :lol:

Never said Bisseks attitude with the senshi was a good idea or even how I would do it. I am just pointing out that talking about Bisseks issue with his story is not what is happening here. Comartemis didn't handle this like an adult. Pointing fingers at someone who put in work for something is just childish. If he can do better and he wants to great, but you don't need to insult the person who came up with an idea just because you don't like it. What does that prove to anyone?

Also I am not my Avatar, and my opinion has nothing to do with Comartemis using the idea, my issue is that he is being insulting for no reason while doing it.

I thought the Belkan Empire had a planet called Belka or something, that was destroyed. Like Mid-Childa is the center of the TSAB. Might just be thinking of fanon, though. I don't think we ever got much info on Belka at all.

Besides, you can't just genetically engineer a Senshi.

"I don't like what this guy is saying, so I'm just gonna switch the subject to his avatar!" Plus, you know, implying Darth is planning on killing bissek because he doesn't like his writing. As if Darth could overpower anything stronger than a mildly rambunctious kitten.

Yes, because you're not allowed to critique an author without having written something youself. Except wait, I have written something myself. Multiple somethings in fact, and they're not complete stories but they are posted publicly. And unlike Bissek, I accept criticism and I do something about it when people point out flaws in my writing instead of pretending my critics don't exist.

The only conclusion I can draw about bissek is that he either set out with the intention of writing a Senshi bashfic from the start or he's just not capable of accepting criticism, because the problems with his fic were brought up many times by many people and his response when I started arguing with him in the chapter 10 thread was to pretend nobody before me had ever brought up these concerns when that was patently not true. That's why I'm on his case, not because his story is bad. So on the subject of childish behavior, start with the guy you're defending before you get after me about it.

Hayate.

Sailor Midchilda = Sankt Kaiser?
Sailor Belka, maybe. But she's in magic school right now, not doing desk work just yet. :snigger:

Hayate.
The difference is Hayate's pretty much the Nuke It From Orbit option; she doesn't really have any other capabilities. Even Saturn, loli planet buster, was able to fight in close combat pretty well.

Please Comartemis, respect my Luna. That cat was heroic and powerful enough she cancelled out a attack from Metalia herself when she attacked the inners in the manga. She loved all of them and would do anything to make this fight easier for them. White devil just raped her characterization.

Of course, Nanoha's birthright is already occupied by the Lunarians.

No, but you might be able to force a reincarnation through cloning.

Worry not, I read Sleeping With The Girls and I know what an awesome and in-character Luna is supposed to look like.

;) Yeah, I gotcha. Just sayin', chill man. If Bissek himself isn't taking offense over this, then you're basically overreacting to what you yourself said was a childish thing to do. Let it go and just focus on the story.

"I don't like what this guy is saying, so I'm just gonna switch the subject to his avatar!" Plus, you know, implying Darth is planning on killing bissek because he doesn't like his writing. As if Darth could overpower anything stronger than a mildly rambunctious kitten.
*groans* There's always, always, one guy who takes things to literally isn't there. :rolleyes: Not gonna go there, dude. I know flamebait when I see it. . . most of the time, anyway. :p

On other notes, I say we go all the way, and have Endy reincarnate as Hayate. Because the mental image of Hayate in a white tie and tails (fishnet stockings optional) while throwing devil roses is AWESOME.

"So in your previous life, you were a guy and married to Nantoka?"

"Vita. . ."

"I'm gunna kill that bitch."

"VITA!"

"Oh look, a pet midget, how cute. If you're threatening to kill me, you should know I've already died twice."

All I'm going to say on the matter is that there's a difference between refusing to accept criticism at all and not taking accepting some criticism because it would take the story in a direction the author doesn't want it to go. The fact that I'm in the process of rewriting some scenes in my current chapter (And did so in several other chapters) as a result of comments that I considered valid demonstrates this.

It Coma wants to take my initial premise and try to take it in the direction he wanted it to go, he's more than welcome to do so.

Though if you must know, the initial inspiration behind White Devil was an image of a talking dog chasing the talking cats and wondering 'What would have to happen for Fate to set her familiar on the Moon Cats deliberately?'

Since when does Vita have a problem with Nanoha. Considering the whole reincarnation thing would probably be after the BoD incident, Nanoha and Vita get along quite well. In fact, I can see her actually shipping the two, much to Yuuno and Fate's chagrin.
