Scroll 0: Prelude
Star Senshi are some of the purest and most powerful beings in the cosmos, if left alone. They range greatly in power, but are generally stronger than all simple spirits. They inherit at birth a bright and pure starseed that is strong enough to be a hoshihoseki, or starseeds.
Star Senshi are inherently good. None would be naturally evil, however, most senshi are still flawed and mortal beings. They can be manipulated or filled with misconceptions to fight on the wrong side. Through time, evil beings have also possessed or tainted senshi into being evil as well.
While the male gender may inherit hoshihoseki, they will never become senshi. Some of these males do become protectors or knights that are able to henshin and even draw enough power from their starseed to attack. The males are still not star senshi.
All females that become star senshi live with dual identities. When she is awakened as a star soldier, she is given or finds a henshin object that she can use to tap the power of her starseed and change from a normal person to a senshi guardian with powers. Once transformed, her uniform could look any number of ways, but it will reflect her and what she protects.
However, for many senshi; some kind of centralized objects or talismans are usually present. Blood-related senshi always have similarly styled seifukus. She may have an item or weapon to fight with or she may just attack with pure power.
Star Senshi always have anywhere from one to three related elements that they draw power from. Their attacks will all reflect their elements.
All senshi have a place or thing that they represent and/or guard. Most senshi represent a celestial body of some sort. Similarly, most planets, moons and stars have senshi. Comets, asteroids, meteors and even galaxies might also have senshi. In general, the size of the celestial body relates to the amount of power a senshi has, though there are some exceptions. Those senshi that are not attached to a celestial body are generally less powerful than those that are. They often are meant to guard something or perform some balancing function that only a senshi could.
Not all people that have hoshihoseki are awakened as senshi. Their power only emerges when it is needed to fight some sort of enemy. In this way, a certain senshi might disappear for generations but the line still continues.
Also, there are false senshi when a non-senshi takes a hoshihoseki from someone and replaces their own starseed with it, in doing so, destroying their own starseed. While these people can transform, have a senshi-based power, and can attack, they are not true senshi. Their attacks are as powerful as the senshi that they stole a starseed from but they are very unstable and weak with a foreign starseed in their bodies.
It is around the starseeds that the senshi code revolves…
