Name: Ariel Zoe Chaikin
Birthdate: September 1st
Age: 19
Personality: Ariel is a very strong person, both mentally and physically. Since she has grown up in the limelight of society she has enjoyed being the center of attention. When she joined the military, however, her arrogant demeanor changed and she began to appreciate herself and her own skills over her inherited reputation and class – she saw the equality that was always around her as a child. The experience humbled her, but she takes pride in what she does and achieving success out of her own abilities. She prefers peace over war and does her best to live to that model at all times in her life. Encountering a challenge usually gets her really upset at first, but it quickly turns into an excited thrill. So, needless to say, she has a dual personality – she seeks peace but enjoys the thrill of combat, especially if provoked.
Self-Perception: She's very logical and thinks with her head before her heart. Since she is a part of the high social class, she takes it upon herself to put a good image of herself out to the public. She believes she is a good person but also knows that she can get very aggressive when it comes to something she truly believes in.
Mannerisms: She is very strict on herself because she demands perfection for the things that she knows how to do. When she is upset, she will close her eyes and take a deep breath before acting instinctively. When she’s anxious about something, she will tap her foot nervously, and then when she’s nervous, she tends to chew on things (which is why she carries around a pack of gum to help her nerves).
Pet Peeves: Whiny, nosy, and snobbish people. Hates when things don’t go as planned and being lied to as well.
Hobbies: She enjoys sword-fighting and collecting plant samples from throughout the solar system.
Habits: She has a habit of eaves-dropping without meaning to. She automatically goes to her garden or the National Garden when she’s worried about something or needs some clarity.
Family:
Duke Marshal Edmund Chaikin – Age 44. Edmund is a tall, slightly tanned man with short dark blonde hair and green eyes. Edmund is praised as a great strategist. While there has only been a few battles on Jupiter, there has never been a real war in the ten years that Edmund has been Duke Marshal. His reputation has led to his continued support by all Jupitarians to stay in office. There is no set amount of time someone may rule, so as long as he is continually voted to hold his position, he will be Duke Marshal until the next one is elected. He has a very clever mind and a sensible heart. He likes to learn about new things and, thus, demands that his children’s education be primary. He also emphasized early on in his children’s lives that they learn self-defense should the need to use such a skill come about. He takes pride in both his son and daughter, but he cherishes his daughter like any other father would (but he does take advantage of his position to keep a close eye on her).
Mirabelle Chaikin – Age 41. Mirabelle is an average-height, pale woman with long black hair and blue eyes. She is a kind woman that can often be found in her garden, growing whatever new plant that comes around or that Ariel finds for her. She met Edmund when her botany class visited the military classes to talk about the healing uses of herbal medicine while in battle (so that they could recognize it on the field). It was love at first sight. Her gentle nature is what keeps her husband and her children balanced. She is proud of her daughter, and while she is also proud of her son, she finds his inability to be truly disciplined in life a bit disappointing. She likes to throw lavish parties at her home and is involved with the non-noble communities in the city. Since she has a lot of free time on her hands, she designs new outfits for the military sectors, using her son and daughter as models before final approval is given.
Colonel Carlisle Chaikin – Age 21. Carlisle is slightly tanned, tall, with dark brown hair and blue eyes. A handsome and cunning young man, Carlisle is known because of his ancestry. He has enlisted in the army out of obligation, but has learned to enjoy the position of nobility in doing so. He likes to live the life of a bachelor and has Ariel make excuses for him when he doesn’t show up for wedding matches that his mother and father set up for him. He takes his job seriously only when he is with others in the service. He tries to brush it off as nothing when he hits on women.
Residence: Ariel and her family live in the posh area of Salinoris, the major city of Jupiter (the other 4 major cities are: Axios, Garen, Bysor, and Jovia – the former palace city). Army heads are seen as nobles and the closest thing to royalty on the planet. Therefore, the Chaikins are all considered upper class nobles. Each family resides in a large mansion. Ariel lives in the southern part of the West Wing as it is next to the artificial plant life in their backyard. It is the closest thing to Earth-like scenery.
Social Status: High Noble
Occupation: Lieutenant Colonel of Special Operations – At the age of 17, she was given this appointment as recognition of her active involvement in peace treaties since she joined the service. Her covert operations have also been a major help to getting the treaties finalized. This includes gathering information and negotiations with the different parties.
Income: A weekly stipend provided by the military as well as the small allowance she is given by her father.
Talents: She adapts well to any situation and learns things easily. Her sword fighting is among the top five ranked in the solar system. Her military skills on the field and in the office are well-known by those on Jupiter.
Strengths: She is a strong and swift fighter, with a determination to succeed in all that she encounters. She follows the rules and any orders she is given, but uses her own judgment to protect her regiment and herself.
Weaknesses: Her stubbornness makes her force herself to finish a fight even if it’s a useless one. Her wanting to please others puts her under extreme pressure, which she tries to hide, but it sometimes gets the best of her at the worst of times. She can also get easily lost when she’s not paying attention to her surroundings. She likes to take charge of other people’s problems because she likes to feel in control at all times.
APPEARANCE
Height: 5’7”
Weight: 140
Hair & Eyes: Ariel has red/orange hair that runs to the middle of her back. Her violet eyes are warm, but can pierce through you with her stare.
Body Type: She is slender, with an athletic build, but also has a sultry appeal that comes through with her confidence. She is also a bit on the busty side.
Dress Style: While in service, she wears her uniform, which has been adjusted to display her high status in both ranking and social status (and compliments her body). When she is off-duty, she is often seen wearing tight-fitting pants or shorts with tastefully revealing tops. Most of what she wears tends to cover her scar, but she doesn’t mind when it does show. She enjoys wearing a formal dress to events, but her favorite outfit tends to be her green boots with a short skirt and a “hip” sweater.
Noticeable Scars or Marks: She has an X-shaped scar on her right shoulder blade. She has a small tattoo of the infinity symbol on her left ankle.
General Description: Slim and very attractive with medium-long hair, Ariel tends to look innocent and appealing. Her sharp eyes display her emotions.
My inspiration for the character:
Sample of how her hair should look. Her hair is usually up in battle.
Her main every-day service outfit (minus the wings and ginormous sword).
The formal attire for high ranking military officials (obviously this is for the females; for men, it is the same patterns and style but put in a masculine manner). And this is probably the best representation of how the sword’s handle should look.
CHARACTER
Biography: When Ariel was born, it was a time of transition for her planet. There was a social uprising that ensued and overthrew the monarchy nearly 100 years earlier. It was something the entire planet wanted. Other planets did not interfere, as was customary at the time. Her great-grandfather aided in the process to keep things as peaceful as possible considering the circumstances. In order for the monarchy to leave with their lives and their dignity, they decided to take the deal handed to them by General Douglas Chaikin – they would relinquish all power to the people, but were allowed to remain as nobles. Their only requirement was that the General take a higher position as Duke Marshal among the people since both they and the people trusted his ability to keep the peace. The government created at that point was and is now a Military Junta Sociocracy. Officials don’t have final say as the majority of the people get votes in all serious planet matters. There are yearly elections where higher officials are voted to stay or be replaced and a replacement is usually suggested at the same time. This allows for the candidate to get acquainted with the office and its duties for a few months, where it is put to a vote once again.
Since Ariel’s family history has a lot to do with the peaceful relations among people, the people look at her family and her own upbringing as that of royalty. Ariel was raised as a proper lady, with many high hopes for her future. Her education was the number one concern, but she was a bright child and didn’t mind taking up extra assignments. When she first held a sword at the tender age of nine, however, her innate ability to fight was more than apparent. She was then trained by her father for some time, until his duties demanded more of him. She decided to receive full training by the academy once she turned fourteen (the legal age of a noble to join the military after showing promise to succeed) and rose in ranks quickly – and not because of her status, but because of her true ability to lead.
Ariel has many acquaintances among men and women. She spends too much time training to really make many friends, though. She has, however, become close to many of the people running the facilities she frequently uses (battle simulations, physical training, and the technology room). Since her promotion, she has been able to attend conferences with other heads of the military throughout the system. Her abilities have put her on the map, but meeting more people has increased her popularity among many. She studies horticulture in her down time, which is when she visits the National Garden. Since people are very much equals on Jupiter, she is not exactly praised as a celebrity, but is respected and well-known.
Education: Ariel gained her first degree at the age of 16, completing her general training for the army in Military Studies. A year later she received her degree in Strategic planning, which was right before she received her promotion to lieutenant colonel. She is currently pursuing a degree in Horticulture as it applies to military uses as field/medicinal remedies for injuries.
Beliefs: She doesn’t have very many beliefs but always feels like there’s some sort of higher purpose for her existence. She believes that the future is not determined and that it is what you make of it.
Goals: She wants to be like her father and is always trying to improve herself mentally and physically as a person as well. She wants to be the best fighter, which at the moment means beating her rank as fourth in sword skills in the system.
Favorite Food: Cheesecakes and strawberries.
Favorite Activity: Being lazy in the national gardens since relaxing isn’t something she tends to do unless she has to.
Favorite Memory: She will always remember the day of her graduation and her first time on a “battle” field. (Battles aren’t on a very large scale and tend to happen in less populated areas since both parties try to avoid as little civilian casualties as possible.
THE SOLDIER
Identity: Sailor Jupiter
Element: Wood/Sky
Gemstone: Emerald
Symbol: Star with an improved version of the Jupiter sign
Transformation Sequence (long): Jupiter, light of Jove, creator and maker, lend me your power!
A string of white light wraps around Ariel, twirling her slightly, a green light emits from within the light as her sailor fuku appears. Bolts of lightning strike her forehead (forming her tiara, and the gem from the pin joins it) and the other striking her hand where her sword turns.
Transformation Sequence (short): Jove’s light, lend me your power!
A white and green light envelopes Ariel and as it disappears, she is fully transformed – sword in hand.
Transformation Item: A golden, star pin with an emerald in the center given to her by her father when she became the youngest Lieutenant Colonel in Jupiter’s history.
Weapon (if applicable): Sword - smooth, long blade, with a golden handle and vines decorating its entire length.
Abilities, in order of appearance
Thunder of Light! = As she raises her sword into the air, a bolt of lightning crashes down onto it, curling around the sharp blade. Spinning in a swift sideways motion, Sailor Jupiter slices through the air as the lightning flashes out of the blade and at her intended target.
Storm of Darkness Ignite! = Sailor Jupiter claps her hands before her and when they separate, a cloud of smoke appears and lightning forms. The dark clouds surround her hands as they glisten with a bright golden light. She shifts her weight unto one foot and moves her hands in a circular motion, as the clouds gather, and then thrusts her hands forward – the golden light darkens as it encircles the clouds and attacks the enemy.
Soaring Emerald Mirage! = A strong wind appears around Jupiter as she closes her eyes and holds herself. Leaves from the ground float upward in a green blur as they begin to swirl around her. Letting her arms fall to her side, the swirl spins faster and faster until a giant whirlwind of green shoots up from the ground in a straight line toward its intended target.
DISGUISE (fuku, uniform, etc)
Description: Her fuku is like the Eternal Senshi version with Super senshi hair decorations. She has a green collar, choker, boots, and top layer of her skirt. The bottom layer of the skirt and the strings on her knee-high boots are a darker green. Her short gloves have brown/orange rings; her front and back bows have the same color. The body of her fuku and the gloves themselves are white.
Color Palette: White, green, brown/orange
Why did you choose this palette: The presence of plant life transformed the way Jupiter was perceived and is a hidden, innate trait of the planet, thus the green in her outfit. The brown/orange originates from the gaseous way that Jupiter looks on the outside from all of the storms.
The Planet
Planet: Jupiter
Climate: Very calm. Most major cities are in space domes, with tunnels connecting them together. This allows the temperature to be adjusted to a comfortable setting.
Theme: Military Nobility, Technology, Peaceful Relations, and Political Equality
Hot Spots:
The National Garden: It is a vast area of greenery that used to be a part of the grounds of the royal palace. It is the only true plant life of the planet. It is from this area that plants have been replicated to assimilate to the life of the bio-dome.
Academy Bar Row: A great place for nobles to mingle with their fellow citizens. It is filled with many lounge areas, cafes, etc., but is well-known for its nightlife.
Freedom Plaza: The plaza has an opera/theater house, a large ballroom often used for noble parties, and small vendors on the boundaries of the plaza.
The Academy: While called the same thing, the 5 major areas of Jupiter each have this facility for both education and military discipline. Both military personnel and other students co-mingle in this area, which is where equality is emphasized the most to influence the young minds of students.
Short Description: Though ruled by nobility, all decisions are made with the public’s consent. If the majority does not favor one way or the other, the nobles are given the opportunity to choose for the rest. People are very involved in the politics of the planet. Entry into the military’s services is not very selective, but ranking is greatly linked with ability rather than current social status – this allows for the equality of all Jupitarians. Noble families are, however, allowed to join the service sooner than most. The technology of the weapons and defense systems of the bio-domes allows for an economic flourishing throughout. It has also begun to develop so that the domes are no longer needed to sustain life – they have continued working on making stable conditions in the planet’s natural atmosphere.
