Sailormoon fanfic
Generals/senshi
What should have been
Author's Notes
Hi! I am just a typical Sailormoon fan and since I was hit with a large bout of inspiration today, I thought that it would be a great idea to finally create a Sailor moon fanfic but with a difference. As I am a fan of the generals (and a certain silver haired one) being coupled off with the inner Sailor scouts, (I thank Naoko a thousand times each day for sketching that infamous picture of the generals and the scouts together), I thought that it would be a good idea to finally do a fic with the generals in character with the valuable information I have found in astrology books.
Due to the official artworks of the generals and senshi together, I had had an idea that the gen/sens couples are soulmates and that they weren't paired off randomly together (in my opinion anyway. As many of you know, the majority of the characters in SM were given star signs to represent their specific planets and personalities, but the poor generals were left out. I tried to take it up on myself to see if I could find them their specific star signs because I wanted to create a fic which had them in character and with strong personalities, and what better way to do it than to have their personalities accurate with their star signs. It may seem odd but whenever I do a fanfic, I always try to find the character's star sign so I can get more involved with my writing and give all the characters their own unique personality that suits them best from all the information I know about them.
But enough about that, I'll try to go straight to the point. As I have studied Astrology for a good few years, I looked in depth to each sign which would suit each general and the astounding discovery was that the star signs which suited the general were ruled by the planet's of their soulmate/ sailor scout.
Some of you may not know what I am talking about but I think this information was astonishing in my eyes for I don't know if this is just a coincidence or not, but..... when I started reading Nephrites, I thought it was really creepy as the star sign Pisces seemed to suit him to a 'T'. Like most star sign lovers know, Pisces is ruled by 'Jupiter' and Neptune, and Nephrite is paired off with Lita aka Sailor Jupiter. The personality traits of Pisces suit Nephrite very well for you see, Pisces are known to be rather emotional and romantic. Out of all the generals, I think Nephrite was the most romantic one since he flirted with Molly and how he was kind hearted to her with the chocolate parfait and all and when he said 'You'll always be in my heart' (or something like that.... I liked that scene ^_^)
Another common Piscean trait is their ability to be changeable depending on the circumstance or situation. Well, I think Nephrite was very changeable in SM from how he had two sides, an evil and a good side when he worked for Beryl which brought the problem of which was his true side. Oftenly common with Pisces is that when they act all the time for someone else, i.e. faking their personality, they can lose their own original personality and no-one can ever know whether they are lying as they have a 'mask' on to hide their feelings. Another thing Pisces can be known for is lying which suits the acting role they play. (Does it sound like Nephrite yet?) They can often lie as not to hurt someone's feelings. (Like what Nephrite did to make Molly happy)
Pisceans can be sometimes told as having no will or back bone (like the fish sign they are) Does this sound like Nephrite to you? Personally I think it does from how he lacks the ability to tell the truth to Molly of how he feels even though he knows it himself and that when the truth finally does come out, it's too late.
Another thing about Pisceans which I find tremendously interesting is that they are known for 'catching' other's emotions, i.e. can cry or laugh openly if they see someone else showing strong emotions. A contagious act, wierd ne? This can be backed up when Molly says those infamous lines 'if Nephrite has Sundays off in that evil society of his,' and he just bursts out laughing.
Pisceans are known to be fiercely interested into Religion and Astrology, and they are very spiritual, which links with the idea of how Nephrite looks at the stars for wisdom.
Well enough about General Nephrite, I'll tell you about the information I have found about Kunzite /Malachite ^_^. As Kunzite is paired off with Minako aka Venus, this couple furthered my idea that each general's sign is ruled by their soul mate's planet. So, after looking and researching through all the signs, I discovered that Kunzite has a keen resemblance to the Zodiac sign Ox, aka Taurus, and what do you know? Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus. (strange ne?)
Now the typical Taurean is known as being the type of person who has a calm and collected exterior and have a serious nature, but when challenged, they can have a wild and destructive streak. Taureans are very faithful and loyal, even to people that have hurt them. That could explain why Kunzite didn't retaliate back when Beryl killed Zoysite and just remained hard and cold and if anything, blamed Zoysite's death on being Darien's fault, because if Darien weren't in the picture, then Zoysite wouldn't have been killed by Beryl.
Taureans are known to be very intelligent, and have bouts and bouts of common sense and patience. They always think things through before acting and can seem reluctant even when they have thought a plan through and know that it is the most logical action. Personally, that sounds like Kunzite to me as out of all the generals, his plans were the most cunning and countless times, he would have been victorious if it weren't for sheer luck of the Sailor senshi. Think of the episode when Venus makes the scene. Who would have thought that there was another Sailor scout? If Venus didn't arrive and since Darien was severely injured and not fit to fight, he was ready to pass over the rainbow crystals so that the other scouts lived. (That's one of my favourite episodes ^_ ^) That ingenious plan was well thought of, a typical trait for a Taurean from how he broke down the senshi's defences by injuring Tuxedo Mask with a Sailor moon decoy and then almost defeating the Sailor senshi in one severe attack so that Tuxedo Mask had no other choice than to give the Negaverse the crystals. Utter brilliance I think. Um...... ahem. Back to the idea of Kunzite being a Taurean. Long hair. Most Taureans have long hair, that goes for men and women and it is normally well groomed and styled in no OTT style. The idea of long hair represents a feminine value and the idea of beauty comes to mind. Yes I know that many of you may think that Kunzite looks gross or that you prefer another general, but I think Kunzite cuts it as being a Bishonen. His clothes he wears, which are like the other generals are slightly different which brings out his personality. Unlike the other generals, Kunzite has the lapel of his jacket open, but it still has a neatness to it. The trousers is the same thing, he is the only one who has his trousers kept over his boots, but he still looks smart ne? Another thing which shows the feminine side of this general is through the manga where he has one long earring in his left ear? That in itself seems rather feminine to me and in a way it shows that he respects the idea of beauty and jewellery.
Okay, I maybe going a 'lil bit off track but I hope you understand what I mean.
Taureans are known for holding onto the past whether it is good or bad, which suits Kunzite well ne? That is why he is so persistent on trying to get the silver crystal and is very vengeful for all the guilt he is harbouring for his lost love Zoysite.
Okay then, I think I've written enough about Kunsite, onto the next generals, Zoysite and Jadeite.
Since I became addicted with the idea of the generals and the senshi, I decided to find Zoysite's and Jadeites. (I prefer the idea of Zoysite being a male than Zoycite as a female in the dubbed American episodes). Since Zoysite is paired off with Amy aka Mercury, I went through the same strategy of looking through all the signs to see which Zoysite suits the best. I found out that the only other star sign besides Virgo (Amy's sign) which is ruled by Mercury is..... Gemini!! If anyone knows what a Gemini is like or knows any gemini friends or relatives, they should be able to see how Zoysite can be easily compared with them. Now lets see, the stereotypical Gemini are known for having a large open knowledge of speaking and communication or on the other side of the scale, having rude and vulgar language. When talking about a Gemini, jealousy always springs to mind. I think that can suit Zoysite if you think about the episodes of SM. Think how Zoysite was so angry and snappy with Nephrite as he was jealous at the idea that Nephrite was given direct orders under Beryl to destroy the Sailor senshi over him. This brings on another thing, that Geminis are very impatient. That suits Zoy very well from how Kunzite had to always calm him down and try to teach him on how to be patient, which unfortunately he failed at causing Zoysite's death. Gemini's are known to be centred around love and beauty which causes vanity and a flirting quality that we, the audience can see whenever we read about him or watch him on T.V. He always acts so melodramatic around Kunsite when he is upset and how he always leans so close to him shows the way he flirts and that he apparently loves him. Zoysite is rather mishevious and a trickster (Gemini quality) from how he dresses himself up as Sailormoon and gets a thrill out of surprising Tuxedo Mask and stabbing him in the back with an ice crystal. Zoysite expresses childlike qualities from how she rages out in anger and then quickly calm herself in the next minute. When I thought of this personality of Zoysite pairing off with the modest Amy, I thought OMG that would never work but if you think about it closely, there are some similarities between the two. Gemini's love facts and books, ie reading or computering can be one of their most favourite past-times. Amy too enjoys those hobbies so the pairing 'may' work. It seems like an interesting couple to write about ne?
The final general Jadeite.....well... he never had too much of a role in Sailormoon and not a lot of his personality came through in the SM episodes so it was quite harder to define what starsign he was.....so I kinda did the lazy way and found the two signs which ruled under his soul-mate Raye aka Mars. These signs are Aries (Rayes) and Scorpio. It then instantly clicked and I understood Jadeites personality. Throughout the beginning of SM, Jadeite was a loner and concentrated entirely on getting energy for Queen Beryl, not having any time for rest or fun (common Scorpio trait). He was very loyal to his cause unlike Nephrite and Zoysite who didn't go on Beryl's every whim. In the cartoon, nobody really knows what Jadeite is truly thinking giving him an air of darkness and mystery (another Scorpio trait!!!). He always has a cold and frosty look on his face and he has a hard attitude with all the youma he works with.
I bet some of you maybe thinking that I am taking this star sign stuff to seriously (maybe I am), by giving Anime characters star signs, but...... I still think that there is something captivating about giving the generals strong personalities which relate to the idea of Astrology and their ruling Planets. The only character who I thought had the most strongest personality would have to be Nephrite, from how he was changeable from good and bad, such as lying to get on Molly's good terms and then feeling guilty for getting her involved with the Negaverse, then again possessing her to do his dirty work to retrieve the Silver crystal. A complicated person ne?
If the generals had more of a role in the SM manga or cartoon, if more of there true, good side came through, then we could see whether or not my theory was right that their starsigns are ruled by their respective soulmate senshi.
But enough of my essays. I am writing a Sailormoon fic as a Generals/Senshi romance/action/adventure one but it will be set into a trilogy. The second section will be created first during the Sailormoon R season, where Ann and Alan enter the scene but with a difference. The generals have been revived and have been healed by Serena's silver crystal and are living on earth as everyday humans, before they start having dreams of their past life and their lovers. As for Serena, she has all her memories returned by Luna however, she has lost the knowledge of who her lover was and his generals. With evil approaching, will Serena find out what is causing it before it is too late and what is it about her Science teacher that is making her rather uncomfortable? And will the generals make their presence known to Sailormoon, knowing what Zoysite is like, I think he'll find it very hard not to keep a secret.
Okay, I hope I have interested any of you Senshi/general fans as I think this fic has the potential to be very good and unique.
Please review or email me if you would like me to write this fic.
