NEW MOON RISING : SECONDARY VERSE.
                                               ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯
act i.
     after returning from the 21st century, the scared and confused woman sailor cosmos had been before was no more. it would’ve been a lie to say that she held no fear in heart but she was a sailor senshi, a guardian of love and justice, and she would never give up again. inspired and reinvigorated by the words of her past self, cosmos rallied together the few remaining senshi across the galaxy to plan one final push against sailor chaos and its own forces. while some would consider the last few years of the sailor wars the harshest of them all, the war would finally reach its end at sagittarius zero star ⎯⎯⎯⎯ the center of the galaxy and home to the galaxy cauldron. there, sailor cosmos and chaos would have their last stand against one another which consisted of a long and brutal fight with no victor in sight. knowing that she could never truly defeat chaos, only temporarily suppress it, akari finally taps into the lambda power that has laid dormant inside of her sailor crystal.
  with the power of the galaxy cauldron itself at her disposal, akari is able to not only revive the sailor crystals of those that had fallen throughout the span of the war but purify ordinary star seeds that had been turned into plagues by chaos. this move delivered a heavy blow to sailor chaos as it effectively eliminated the majority of its army. the light of the stars returning back to their homes completely blinded the creature and cosmos was able to use its moment of weakness to her advantage by taking a risky gamble: plunging them both deep within the cauldron. while she knew it was possible for her to maintain her form within the cauldron after seeing usagi’s act of courage, there was a chance sailor chaos would not. her gamble would thankfully pay off as she watched chaos melt into the sea of stars, it’s own star seed becoming lost in the depths of the cauldron. the galaxy had been shattered, many left devastated and homeless after sailor chaos’s rampage but now there was hope on the horizon at last.
the war was finally over.
act ii.
     with sailor chaos becoming a distant memory, the galaxy worked tirelessly as one to rebuild in spite of the destruction brought upon them. after the events at sagittarius zero star, cosmos traveled across the galaxy in order to assist those in need by healing planets and those still infected by chaos. the process of healing the galaxy was still an incredible slow and draining process for her due to the amount of sheer destruction that chaos left behind in its wake. aside from brief visits to the white room, cosmos rarely rested during this period even though the overall process was incredibly taxing on her - both physically and mentally. despite her best efforts to avoid returning to the sol system, it was long before she received a call for aid ⎯⎯⎯⎯ from luna of all people. her feline companion had fallen over a millennia ago, her sailor crystal stolen when the pair had been ambushed by a group of chaos’s forces. it made sense that luna would’ve been revived but it was strange that luna had chosen to return to earth rather than her home planet, mau. still, akari wasn’t going to refuse her companion’s call for help and she quickly flew towards the sol system before landing on earth for the first time in centuries. 
     it wasn’t long until she and luna found each other once more, a reunion that was filled much sobbing, hugging, and even more sobbing. that moment was also when akari met him. she could feel eyes on her as she laughed and reminisced with luna ( an act that felt both foreign and comforting to her at the same time ). she tried to ignore the feeling of being watched until she finally looked up and her eyes found themselves locked with another’s. never in her life had she looked at a stranger and immediately felt so whole. his hair was different, his once raven locks had turned a soft shade of lavender in this life but everything else about him was mostly the same. his eyes were the same beautiful shade of blue she had seen so often in her dreams and now they were staring straight at her. he wore a guarded expression on his face before he suddenly around and walked away without a word. she looked away with a frown, angrily shoving into her mouth as luna said something his name. prince endymion, chiba mamoru, and now mochizuki sekai. she was not going to fall in love with the same man for the third time in a row. 
     despite her own words, it hadn’t stopped her from sharing small glances with him whenever they happened to be in the same room or having private conversations about their lives late into the night. akari had originally thought that luna’s ‘emergency’ had simply been nothing but a ploy to get her to return to earth but during one of her and sekai’s ‘talks’, akari soon discovered that earth still had major scarring from various attacks during the war. while sekai could heal the damage the planet had physically suffered, he unfortunately could not heal those that were still plagued by chaos by himself thus needed her assistance with purifying them. he hadn’t directly asked for her help but she gladly offered it and together they used the power of both the silver crystal and the golden crystal to heal earth and its people completely. when the deed was done, sekai simply turned to her with a small smirk on his face and said ‘ thanks bun-head. ’ before leaving.
                                                           akari hated him.
she would ask sekai to marry her a little over a year later.
act iii.
      akari had never put much thought into what her life would be like after the war. it ending with her actually still alive had never seemed like much of a realistic possibility to her  but neither had getting married ⎯⎯⎯⎯ but now she could officially call herself mrs. mochizuki anytime she wanted.  the combined power of the silver and golden crystals had done more than simply heal earth as many of its people found themselves cured of illnesses all together and their lifespans now extended. akari would still travel across the galaxy as sailor cosmos but as decades turned into centuries, her trips became less frequent and noticeably shorter until eventually she stopped traveling all together. while the galaxy was still healing from the scars of the past, many of the reconstruction efforts had been relatively successful as new sailor guardians rose up to protect their homes on their own.
      battle-weary and ready to pass the torch on to a new generation, akari eventually 'retires’ as sailor cosmos and officially ascends the throne as one of earth’s new rulers along with sekai. this event ushers in the start of the cosmogonic era in which they are known as king aethyros and queen cosima. while still fully capable of transforming, akari’s priorities shift towards building a new and better future for them all. it also isn’t long into the couple’s rule as king and queen that akari feels a new star growing inside of her...
                                               ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯
this a canon verse where sekai and akari ascends as the new crowned heads of earth in the 11th millennia after the events of the war. their positions, especially akari, is mostly symbolic with limited power ( similar to the monarchy in england ) which contrasts to neo queen serenity’s sole rule in crystal tokyo. cosmos ‘represents’ earth in diplomatic matters regarding other planets and their respective senshi as well as offers political advice to the leaders of each ‘state’ along with sekai. akari being referred to as ‘queen cosima’ is meant to parallel queen serenity, whose name is derived from the greek name selene and cosima is derived from the greek word cosmos. 
the cosmogonic age’s name derives from cosmogony which is the study of the creation of the universe; this is significant since the ‘cosmogonic’ age is the start of a ‘new’ earth that celebrates culture and diversity through its own various nation-states and by welcoming those from outside of the sol system. it also emphasizes the point that it is not crystal tokyo nor even the silver millennium where the moon royalty had the sovereign power. art credit.

writings about juni as an oc
30 questions about Juni (with unnecessarily long answers), from this SSO OC asks posts except i just filled it all out in one go. i want to try developing her into a more detailed character just for fun so this seemed like the best way to start! i hadn’t decided anything about her besides “non-binary and pan” until starting to fill this out hahah, i just tapped into my jorvegian feels and went along with what felt right.
this is already stated on my “about” page but, to be clear, Juni is some kinda persona/OC thingy and not “me”, while having some traits and details inspired by my real self. (you can definitely get to know about me by reading this, but, it’s not me me.)
BASIC CHARACTER INFO (remember her details are not mine!) Name: Juni Ravenhall Age: around 18-20 i guess, don’t wanna make her too old to fit with the other characters in the story. Gender: non-binary / genderfluid?, but more or less OK with her female body, and she’s fine with any pronouns. Sexuality: panromantic pansexual.
1. What is their home stable in-game? Why?
South Hoof Peninsula (headcanon:ing that there is a home stable there, obviously) because it’s her home. While travelling she makes use of stables and accomodations anywhere, so some people know her in the places she stays over a lot (Valedale, Moorland, others).
2. Where do they actually live in Jorvik?
Her home is on South Hoof, although she doesn’t stay there for long periods of time anymore with all the travelling and adventures going on. She was born in Valedale, but was taken to South Hoof as a small child. (My headcanon is that there’s a few more people living on the peninsula than what’s shown in-game.) It’s worth noting she’s an orphan (or is she...?! *dun dun dun*) so she grew up without a biological family. (btw, that’s not just to be dramatic... I’m from an abusive home and parents mean nothing to me, so I wouldn’t be able to relate to her as much if I gave her some kind of normal, caring parents, I don’t know that stuff. I’d much rather she has no parents / doesn’t know her parents, than that she has to grow up with awful ones.)
3. Who is their favorite NPC?
Hmm, I would make up some OCs for her proper personal story, but out of the NPCs that exist..... (these are not all my favourites, just some of them that I think works well for her story.) - She knows everyone at South Hoof to some degree since she grew up there, I think she’s especially close with Jonas as a parent-figure of sorts, and of course, Madison. She helps the hermit and is on good terms with him. When Hugh moved there, she started making friends with him, I imagine they’ll get close as Juni really cares about animal rescue. - She's fairly close to Conrad, mix of mentor, friend and parent-figure. (He’s taught her more than what’s shown in canon, and she visits him anytime she’s staying in Moorland.) - She likes helping Agnetha and Björn with their garden projects so they have a friendly relation, though casual. It’s the kind of thing where she’ll stay over and help them for a few days, and at the end of the day they have cozy outdoor dinners outside the house, watching the sunset view from the cliff and smelling the roses. They probably get some great fresh food from around Silverglade. - I think she's somewhat friends with Ed at Wolf Hell Inn (or stays over and sees what crazy stuff he’s up to often enough). - She definitely likes Rania and like going out for rides with her, whether there’s a special cause or not. I forget the name of that crazy ranger girl... but she likes her and Alonso too. - She likes hanging out with Mario, and they’ll have picnics on the mountain or on top of the observatory after she’s been helping him out, watching the stars together (platonically). - She’s a wary friend of the Bobcats and Justin, like, they could be friends (since she’s at Moorland often enough) but they aren’t quite. I think she gets along with Josh (pole bending guy). - I was going to write about the soul riders and druids... but I think in my made-up headcanon, Juni's situation and role in the soul rider team would be different. I’ll have to think more about it.
4. Who is their Soul Steed? What breed are they? Do they have any markings or look different in some way from the in-game appearance you could give them?
Winterborn, a Jorvik Warmblood stallion (here’s his tag on my blog). He’s a brave and loving companion, thoughtful sometimes, a bit silly and spoiled sometimes. His bond with Juni is very strong. He probably does look a bit different in my headcanon but I’d have to draw/edit it to make a decision, so let’s leave that in the air for now...
5. What is their favorite location? (Ex, Hollow Woods, Greendale, Silverglade Manor Library) Why?
- South Hoof, as her adopted home, and because of the ancient and “wild and free” energy it has. She feels relaxed and at home there, and somehow connected to the magic of the land (even before she learns about magic). - Valedale and the surrounding areas like Hollow Woods, where she feels a nagging sense of nostalgia and belonging, a tingling mysterious feeling (similar but not the same as what she feels on South Hoof). She loves the flowers, buildings and nature there. - Moorland Forge, for Conrad. - Agnetha and Björn’s gardens. - Wolf Hell Inn, she likes it there and (as mentioned) she likes seeing what weird stuff Ed is up to. - Dino Valley, she loves the winter, the solitude, and the challenge of survival (she’s an adventurer after all). - Crescent Moon Village, just for how cozy it is, and the Mirror Marshes, for its beauty. There’s a lot of spots around New Hillcrest and Epona she likes in general too. - Goldenhills Valley, she loves the autumn colours and the ruins, and takes an interest in the witchcraft that she sees, starting to wonder what’s good and bad magic. - Cape West, a cute little village to visit now and then. - Jarlaheim, as a place to hang out and shop / rest, after a day of helping out with farm chores around the area. - Greendale, where it seems like faeries might pop out if you’re quiet enough. - Ydris’ circus, because she can’t help but get curious about it. (I love circus / fairground aesthetics personally... I’m one of those people who’s always loved clowns and everyone else is like “what?! clowns are creepy man!”) - Mistfall and Firgrove are places she likes both for the nature and buildings, but she doesn’t tend to stay there long. - The Observatory, and other spots high up with great views, like the shortcut between Firgrove and Valedale, and the secret path up the mountain in Firgrove, too. - Aideen’s Plaza in Jorvik City, a cozy and fun place when you need a break from the countryside, especially if there’s an event / festival / market going on. - Pandoria? -- there’s certainly something about it...
6. Who’s their favorite horse? Why?
I’m going to say Juni doesn’t own any other horse than Winterborn, at least at this time. (Obviously I have lots in-game but for this OC story it doesn’t really make sense, so let’s say the rest aren’t canon, haha. Maybe they’re horses she’ll own later in life.)
7. What are their powers? Are they stronger with one Circle over any of the others?
Hmm... I dunno, I have to think more about this one. I probably want to draw some pictures to figure out more about her relation to magic and Pandoria and all that.
8. What’s their usual style? Any favorite tack sets or color themes for them?
She likes all colours and likes putting together new outfits and tack sets of various styles, but some particular favourite colours are red and purple, and overall her style tends to be bold and graphic rather than soft or gentle. She can do soft and gentle too though, when she feels like it!
9. Thoughts about Jorvik City? How do they feel about Rania’s petition for a horse-friendly Jorvik City?
She likes it there (especially Aideen’s Plaza as mentioned), but definitely thinks that there’s such a thing as “too much city” and has to retreat to nature after some time there. A horse-friendly city would be nice, as Winterborn would probably really enjoy getting spoiled with treats at the Plaza on a warm evening, getting petted by nice strangers.
10. Thoughts about Justin? (I’m sorry, I’m curious, he shows up so much)
She pities him in a kind way, thinks he’s sensitive and immature. She wouldn’t mind being friends with him once he starts growing as a person. She also likes lasagna, so they could organise a lasagna party together with the Bobcats sometime.
11. How do they feel about the magical horse race at the circus? Did they enjoy being a horse?
While she doesn’t like how Ydris treats people, she thought it was really interesting and insane, and had a lot of thoughts about what magic is / what magic can do after starting to come into contact with all its different types (Pi, Ydris, the soul riders and druids, etc etc). Maybe being able to turn into a horse at will and gallop around with Winterborn would be really cool!
12. Do they trust the Druids? Or how do they feel about them?
Once she starts getting to know about them, she trusts them as soon as she knows Conrad is involved with them, because she trusts him. Of course she doesn’t trust them 100%, due to all the weird stuff that goes on, but she trusts that they have good intentions even if it doesn’t always come out right, or maybe the right people aren’t in charge.
13. Least favorite NPC?
That’s a tough one... let’s just say she doesn’t like when people use or abuse others. However, she believes that anyone can change and become a better person, it’s just exceptionally hard for some people (and nobody is entitled to forgiveness). (Honestly it’s just difficult because I’m an open-minded person and I appreciate villainous *fictional* characters for their roles in a story, just as well as I appreciate the heroes and background characters. I don’t see a point in being pissy about fictional villains, they’re just part of a story, and in fiction everyone has a chance at bettering themselves. Plus, the victims of their actions are all fictional... nobody really got hurt. I wouldn’t think IRL people like Tr*mp is going to change for the better, plus even if he did he’s caused a lot of people a lot of harm, so IRL is another thing. but I can accept any character’s change and redemption in fiction because... it’s fiction, a fantasy.)
14. How do they make their money?
Before travelling she made them by doing odd jobs around South Hoof, now she does odd jobs around Jorvik. Often she’ll take a trade and do work for food and someplace to stay for the night instead of getting paid. She sells things she’s found and things she’s made now and then (having some skills in crafts).
15. How many horses do they own?
Same answer as before, as an OC she only owns Winterborn (right now).
16. How many pets do they have? What kind? What are their names?
I don’t think I want her to have any at this time, I might change my mind later. She loves the farm animals and the wild horses on South Hoof, of course, and helps take care of other people’s pets when needed. (I love my baby seal in the game though.)
17. How do they feel about the Soul Riders? Do they trust them? Feel like an outsider? Are they closer to some over the others?
I’ll have to decide on her role in the story and relating to the soul riders before I can answer that, so I’ll leave that for now. I don’t think she’s very close with any of them, if anything it’d be a somewhat good relation with Linda and Alex, I think.
18. Do they believe something mystical, magical, or otherwise strange really exists in Dino Valley? How did they feel about the leaving of the Kallter and the roar/scream/screech in the Valley?
There’s absolutely something strange about it, and her heart beats at the idea of more adventures there. The Kallters must have had a reason to leave.
19. Thoughts about Jorvik Wild Horses?
I think for headcanon OC story purposes, Jorvik Wild Horses and Starbreeds are probably the same thing? Just like, I’d go with that there’s a one type of magic horses with Jorvegian magic (or Pandorian) flowing through them, but then they can look different from each other. In the headcanon there wouldn’t be random Jorvik Wilds running around or anything, it’d be super special rare stuff like the Starbreeds are.
20. Do you think they are a Wild Whisperer? Or are they just bonded with their Soul Steed?
I’m not sure, leaning towards that she’s mostly just bonded with Winterborn. Maybe she has some level of whispering abilities but it’s definitely not one of her strongest skills.
21. What’s their favorite Jorvegian holiday or celebration?
All holidays, any excuse to celebrate, although she prefers peaceful and homely celebrations over parties or high-tempo events. Life is precious, so she celebrates every day to some degree (like I mentioned... sunset picnics, enjoying nature).
22. What do they think or feel about Pandoria? Have they or do they visit outside of the quests (using the rifts)? If they have or still do, why?
I think at the time I would place Juni’s story, she’s only starting to learn about Pandoria and is still confused and thoughtful about the different types and uses of magic. So what she’s going to think of Pandoria and what she’ll do about it would be something to figure out.
23. How has their visit(s) to Pandoria affected them? Do they have scars? Has it affected any of their life views?
See above. But also, since I want to explore Juni’s relation to magic, I’ll say I think the magic (or something else about Pandoria) might start to eat at her, and maybe she starts losing herself a bit the deeper she gets into those thoughts and the magic itself. (Hint... I think it’ll have to do with being an orphan and feeling alone and depressed.)
24. Would they ever consider working for Dark Core or believing their side?
No, I can’t imagine she would unless there was some very specific reason.
25. What or who is Garnok to them? A dark presence? A squid-like monster? A child with a ridiculously complicated jumping course (fuckin @’s Lizzy)?
I love Lizzy’s course lol, but maybe Garnok did have a hand in it... Anyway, I don’t think Juni knows anywhere near enough to have an understanding of Garnok at this point, so it’s just some vague thing the druids aren’t describing enough.
26. Do they ever go to the Disco? If they don’t, would they ever consider going? What would it take to make them go?
She goes sometimes, but she quickly gets tired of both dancing and socialising in crowds and has to wind down afterwards, maybe just sitting down at the disco balcony to look at the ocean, or heading down to the beach to lie down and rest. The evening ride back to her home on South Hoof (or to a place to stay in Moorland if the ferry stopped running) is a moment of winding-down, too.
27. Disco or Moorland Beach party?
The beach party is probably a little more chill, which suits her.
28. Are they interested in helping with archaeology or fishing?
She likes trying to do archaeology, and finds ancient (or just old) things really interesting, but she’s not necessarily the best at it. It’s something she does from time to time, or when someone asks for help. Fishing is something she’d only do when hanging out with someone else.
29. How do they feel about Igor, the waiter/manager of the Dino Valley cafe, and whom seemed interested in your horse for… “culinary reasons?”
She hopes he was joking, and appreciates his efforts in starting up the café since the Dino Valley crew is so small, and everyone needs each others’ help to survive and explore there.
30. Do they like the perpetual winter of Dino Valley or the perpetual autumn/fall of Goldenhills Valley, or is it strange to them? Do they prefer one over the other, or neither?
She likes them both, but she’s curious about what they’d look like if the seasons did change.
