Basic Information
Senshi/Knight Identity: Sailor what? Knight who?
color

Spheres: Your character's designated spheres of influence. ( emanation, archangel, world, chakra )
Symbol: Describe and visually present a symbol that is somehow related to your character's sphere(s) of influence.
Colors: Primary Color #hexcode | Secondary Color #hexcode | Accent Color #hexcode
These are the colors shown on your character's fuku/armor/outfit. Please go with NON generic colors, like scarlet, aquamarine, tangerine orange, et cetera. Do not use colors that are already taken by name and by color (like apple red and bright red). All colors taken are listed on the cast page.

Transformation
Device: All senshi and knights have a transformation tool or "henshin" item. Draw it. Get a picture of it. Describe it. Don't overlap with other people's device; everyone has their own special, enchanted object that allows them to morph after reciting the "transformation phrase" or the spell of change.
Phrase: This is basically the recitation that a human, with transformation item in hand, says so that they may use a glamour and enable their powers. For the sailor senshi it's: "NAME Sephira Power! Make up!" and for the knights it's: "NAME Sephira Power!"
Sequence: The transformation is a simple show of lights and sparkles that basically describes the casting of a spell upon one’s self to hide their identity, as well as the metamorphosis from civilian to superhero. The key to this is adding a backdrop, some lights, sparkles, and your character doing something like spinning, hopping, or flipping.

Glamour
Describe your character's costume (also know as the seifuku or just fuku). Rules for your character's outfit are somewhat lax, but please make sure that the costume has all of the prescribed parts in some form or another. Begin with the base for either the female or male costume and design it so as to make your glamour unique. Pictures are highly appreciated, but not required. When writing a description use this guide to help you:

There is a minimum of one (1) point assigned to each section and the maximum you can give to any particular section is four (4). You may indicate the rate of each section with numbers or symbols. This is the rating system:

Guide :: 1 = Poor | 2 = Average | 3 = Above Average | 4 = Excellent

Power
All knights and senshi start off with one attack/power/spell. As time goes by and your character progresses you can request permission to add another power from the council. Describe the attack in detail. No power-mode, instant kill, destroy the world, world plague, destroy a large city, or permanent status abnormality powers. Answer these questions within the description:

Can it be dodged? Blocked? Redirected?

Hit more than one target?

Can it only be performed once or many times without wear?

Used in conjunction with another senshi or knight's power/attack (and if so what does it do, et cetera)?

Description Sections ::

A visual description of what happens while performing the attack/power/spell & what it looks like.
A summary of its power levels, determining factors of its strength, and so on.
The effect(s) of the spell if it works successfully and is partially successful.
Its weaknesses, how it can be evaded, et cetera.

The Gilded
*Weapon/Item: Describe one (1) weapon OR item, what it does, and name it if you like. Pictures are appreciated but not required. The weapon or item can be a set (of maybe two or three depending on what it is). For things like needles, wire, et cetera, you can indicate how many or how much they have. They may have an unlimited amount, but, summoning them may require some energy.
*Gifts: A list of extraordinary abilities that your character can perform that relate to your character's power sphere and are reasonable. Be specific and be detailed. Try not to list a whole gang of them too. Just try to stick to a suggested maximum of two (2). Note that these gifts can be used in civilian form and become stronger in soldier form, but you can decide if they have these abilities outside of their glamour.

Debacles
Otherwise known as "ways of getting your ass kicked", flaws, or simply disadvantages in battle. Simply put, there should be as many abilities as there are ways of your character being beaten in battle and however strong your character might be your character should need an equally strong weakness. The character's debacles should correspond with your character's abilities, emotions, and physical aptitude. It should not include 'eclipse of the sun' or other once in a while things unless you have something like your character only being at full power when there is sunlight. Fears and phobias can also be stated here as well.
