Fandom: Sailor Moon
Description: Here's the thing. I once did some art for a fellow otaku senshi fan. Writing bios, helping others develop their OC into something tangible rather than those misty ideas that swirl in our head is one of the most rewarding things I can do... but I've also done fanart commissions before. I don't any more because I've been scammed multiple time through multiple fandoms so I know how paypal works. I don't do commissions any more because drawing characters for people to enjoy is far more satisfying. However people who scam commissioners don't value the time and effort that goes into something they love are selfish. So fuck em. Always understand how hard art is. Every genuine piece of art posted on this website took hours upon hours and are worth every dollar they ask for.
I'm leaving this up for a couple of reasons.
1) I enjoyed writing this character and think its good at showing off my writing skills. If you have a Sailor Moon OC stuck in your head and don't know how to get them out, hit me up in PMs.
2) Other people will recognize the character as a warning to other commissioners.
Unpaid Commissions
:Mission:
He awoke one day in the twentieth century as Cuprite with no desire greater than that of his Queen. He is her eyes and her ears on Earth as they search for the mysterious Moon Princess and her Silver Crystal which would restore them to greatness.
But below the surface are memories. Memories of a normal boy, Kaito Shinsuke. Memories of a warrior with honor and loyalty to a Golden King. Memories of a girl with the stars in her eyes.
Which memories are real and which are false, and what is the punishment for questioning the Queen’s dark rule?

:Name & Meaning:
Cuprite is a mineral mostly derived from copper giving it colours from pale salmon to vibrant garnet to dark and smoky grey. Symbolically they represent self-respect and deliverance and while it is too soft to be used in jewellery it is said to grant those who harness it inner peace.
When he was reborn he was given the name Kaito, preferring to use the kanji representing ‘To Soar’. His surname Shinsuke meaning Forerunner or Herald.
:Age & Birthday:
Born September 9th, he’s eighteen and second youngest in service to the Golden Kingdom.
:Appearance:
Kaito stands at 5’8 and has the strong, lithe body of a runner. His scarlet hair hangs loose and and wispy as unseen breezes whisper in his ears and hangs in his bright as copper eyes.
ersonality:
Cuprite is a taciturn young man who has always shied away from attention. When he was young he could hear voices in the wind and his village mistrusted the boy who knew things he couldn’t possibly know. He became known as a sneak and a gossip, shunned for things he couldn’t control. His bright and open personality slowly dwindled into a selective mutism in case he said something he shouldn’t.
His gifts have made him deeply cynical of others, knowing they can smile to your face and sneer in secret. He is determined to wear a mask, with few words and fewer smiles, always keeping his distance. [C]This doesn’t change even as he takes on his civilian guise, working as a waiter at the Crown Game Parlour with his head down, ears open and using words sparingly. There is something about the Crown Parlour that disrupts air currents, unaware of the Sailor Guardian’s Headquarters beneath, but he has followed the voices of Sailor Senshi there and knows they will lead him to the Moon Princess.
Now if only this loud, chirpy purple haired school kid could stop distracting him! There’s something about those lilac eyes.
As a Soldier of the Negaverse he is the least powerful of the generals. He attacks from a distance and from the shadows. He isn’t a coward but he knows his strengths lie in subterfuge. He uses his gales to give him speed and agility, and predict the subtle movements before a strike. His is rarely a killing blow, but one that targets weakness.
:Likes:
Cuprite puts value in those who are open and truthful, but automatically assumes everyone has something to hide. A truly open and honest person puts him off balance.
He prefers the deep night, when people are asleep and the world is empty. He walks dark streets and likes to be high above the city where the air is untainted. He takes refuge in the storm, when the tempest is strongest, when thunder drowns out the turmoil, but also likes the calmness of a cloudless night. He stares at the stars and wonders why bring him such melancholy.
When he takes time at the Gardens he likes to bring a thermos of tea, prefer a ginger or peppermint flavour to ease the pressure in his temples.
islikes:
Cuprite’s ability to hear and see things on the wind means he is under a constant barrage of information and so prefers the silent places. He dislikes the city, crowds and closed spaces and over stimulation gives him a splitting migraine. He also hates echoes which throw off his powers making it difficult to hone in.
:Hobbies:
As a spy, Cuprite finds it useful to maintain his civilian life. He doesn’t spend much time in Kaito’s noisy apartment building except to sleep and spends any time not working at the Crown Parlour in the Omiya Botanical Gardens that surround the Hikawa Shrine. On one of its gently rolling hills, surrounded by cherry trees is one of many gazebos. There he likes to sit and meditate, either listening to the quiet or gathering information from his breezes.
:Relationships::Queen Beryl:
Arisen in a new world, Queen Beryl enchants him. All that she speaks is true and wise and he longs for her approval… and yet… She has given him the mission to collect intelligence whilst also sabotaging the Sailor Senshi as a double agent. She is often lenient with him as he feeds her information, allowing him to survive longer than his allies but even her patience has a limit.
:Shitennou:
Long ago in the Golden Kingdom he was taken under the wing of the Shittenou as something of a novitiate and bestowed name usually reserved for nobles of the King’s court; Cuprite. Kunzite was his leader, stern but guiding. Nephrite taught him the rudiments of swordplay. Zoisite, a highborn member of the court taught him the subtle tells of reading expressions and doubletalk of liars but was always somewhat distant as a dedicated second-hand to Kunzite. It was with Jadeite he formed his closest bond, born within days of each other and another a magic user. As the younger members of the Shitennou, they were prone to mischief with Jadeite often getting the pair in trouble.
All this changed under Queen Beryl where they are rivals for her praise and attention and he is distinctly under their command. As he has been directed by Queen Beryl to be a counter agent, he takes a petty pleasure in undermining their plans in small ways to endear himself to the Senshi.
rince Endymion/ Mamoru Chiba:
Eternally devoted to his prince, he resisted Beryl’s brainwashing as long as he could. Even now when under her sway there is a nagging feeling of betrayal that he can’t put his finger on.
And yet, he is completely oblivious to Mamoru Chiba! They pass like ships in the night when he comes to visit Motoki and he is a mild nuisance, always around at inopportune time when Cuprite schemes or plots.
:Motoki:
Motoki is his boss at the Crown Parlour and he is constantly baffled by Motoki’s bright and helpful nature. He seems to genuinely care for Kaito who seems lonely and burdened by crippling headaches. He freely gives time off and tries to lure the silent loner out of his shell.
:Chiaki and Friends:
The pair keep meeting under unusual circumstances, as if guided by the stars. Chiaki is a frequent patron of the Crown Parlour addicted to their triple chocolate with marshmallows milkshake. Like Motoki, she tries to coax him to join their revels he’s sure she purposely orders the Rockyroad Mountain Sundae Challenge which requires the all the staff of the Crown Parlour to put on party hats, sing and dance with sparklers when finished. He is not amused. He also seems at a loss by her open and forthright speaking. He can tell she’s hiding something but is candid in all other thoughts and he reads her interest like an open book.
However when they cross paths in the Omiya Botanical Gardens he sees a different side of her, determined to be silent to get the best wildlife shots or plotting her star maps. She seems more relaxed and less frenetic when breathing in the peace of the natural world. It is here that he feels a strange allure he can’t put words to.
:Sailor Sylvia:
Sailor Sylvia, honest and open hearted, is least suspicious and most receptive to his subversive whispers. Cloaked in white he sends messages on the breeze to Sailor Sylvia, often helping the senshi discover a youmas weakness and win the day. For a long time the other Sailor Team didn’t believe he existed but Sailor Sylvia glimpsed him from the corner of her eye, hiding in shadows, a Wind Walker.
The darker and more desperate Queen Beryl’s designs become, the more she demands of him and the more difficult it is to divide his loyalties. Is it him snaring Sailor Sylvia, or the other way round? The more time he spends selling his secrets to this Sailor Guardian under starlight, the more deja vu tugs at his heart.
:Family:
Cuprite’s incarnation of Kaito does have a family who operate an apple orchard outside Nagano. He left the farm to study accounting but dropped out when he woke up as Cuprite. He has siblings whom he hasn’t spoken to since he woke up.
ackground:
There is little to remember, a hazy emptiness filled only by his bewitching Queen Beryl.
╔═══*.·:·.☽✧ ✦ ✧☾.·:·.*═══╗Guardian Form╚═══*.·:·.☽✧ ✦ ✧☾.·:·.*═══╝:Name:
Cuprite, although when luring the Sailor Guardians they know him as the Wind Walker.
:Realm of Influence:
Cuprite was born with the powers to see and hear things on the breeze and as he focused his powers he was able to conjure and guide them. He treats them likes pets and they act as his spies, sleuthing the city to discover its secrets for him. While the other Generals of Queen Beryl are able to float in the air, he is able to walk on it, lifting his steps and running like the wind.
ast Life:
Long ago, a young man found a boy set upon by villagers for being cursed. Rather than leave him to the savagery of the mob he waded in himself, shielding the boy from their blows until the Shittenou intervened and revealed his true self as Prince of Earth.
To make the boy feel more welcome amongst the gentry of Earth who were often titled after minerals as a sign of nobility, Prince Endymion offered the boy a new name; Cuprite.
Cuprite embraced his new life and devoted himself wholeheartedly to his Prince. He revealed his true abilities to hear voices and see visions carried by air currents. He was able to hear the plots and misdirection of the courtiers of Earth which Prince Endymion passed on to King Aithlios. While the treachery was rooted out, with them came the old whispers- sneak...cheat... liar. Endymion and the Shitennou tried to protect him from the gossip of the court but he retreated deeper into his duties.
And while Endymion trysted with the Moon Princess, Cuprite made it his responsibility to act as scout and sentry even when his King forbade it. But just as the Prince had his retinue, the Princess had hers and amongst them a lilac eyed Guardian. At first she seemed loud and intrusive, until the stars came out.
Beneath them she was hypnotized and their light shone in her eyes. She spoke her mind honestly and openly in a way people rarely did and under the night sky fell in love with her silence.
It was he who first heard the rumble of discontent amongst the commoners. Despite Kunzite’s entreaties, Prince Endymion tried to console their fears of the Moon Kingdom but through them came Metallia’s power and sway. The last he remembered was hiding behind pillars and the peasant girl Beryl spied on the Prince and his love. He confronted the girl and then…. Nothing.
:Future:
Once freed from Queen Beryl’s bewitchment, he and the Shitennou are resurrected without the memories of their past lives. However his peaceful life as an accountancy student didn’t last long. Identified by a Cardian in their pursuit of energy, each of the Shitennou were targeted in turn and forced to defend themselves.
Awakened again he once again took the alias Wind Walker to aid the senshi in their battles.
:Weapon:
As a warrior of the shadows, he rarely makes a direct attack. Tucked amongst his uniform are several fine throwing knives, each less than a hands length each, which he calls his Barbs. He can throw them with pinpoint accuracy, direct with the wind and carry them where they need to be. They can whistle past as a distraction, pin a sleeve, carry a message or pierce the pupil like an arrow
:Attacks:
Breath of Wind
He calls the winds to him to bring him news or carry his voice to others.
Light Step
He summons the winds to rest under each foot step allowing him to pivot and run through the air in a way the Generals of Beryl cannot. It allows him for more maneuverability and flexibility in a fight.
Whirlwind Rush
His only physical, conjuring winds beneath an enemy's feet to spin them furiously around and make them dizzy.
