The Jedi Exile
QUOTE: "I tend to always be apart from the others... Part of me was exiled from my peers for a sin I thought was necessary, and the other part is feared by her friends and worries them because of my ultimate duties. Regardless... we all play a role. From that viewpoint... we are all united. Such is the will of the Force."

-May use as Create Illusions
-Unlimited Create/Manipulate (Technically could create or destroy any nonliving matter and energy, paying stones for Area and Weight of what she is destroying, Ignoring the target's Hardness/Toughness. Read Life/Death Cycle below. Destroyed objects are usually turned to dust or disintegrated entirely.)

-Silence Glaive Surprise (Requires the Silence Glaive to use; as Force Blast; 3x damage, AP, Area Effect, Range 7, Causes massive collateral damage. This incredibly destructive attack is actually Hotaru willingly 'failing' to use the Silence Glaive at its maximum potential, causing a monstrously destructive shockwave which basically annihilates all that stands before her with large destruction being dealt to the environment. Needless to say, Hotaru is very careful about using this power.)
-Saturn Erase Exodus (As Force Blast; Atk VS Durability, 2x Damage, Automatically causes collateral damage, Range 3. This devastating attack is composed of pure destructive energy, surrounding the target with a black aura which either shreds it apart, or if it kills/destroys it entirely, will fully erase it from existence.)
-Death/Reborn Revolution (Requires the Silence Glaive to use; as Force Blast; 3x damage, Atk VS Durability, Area effect, Range 3. Basically an even more powerful version of Saturn Erase Exodus, affecting any target and object within a given area, destroying them.

MODIFIERS
Power Level 3 / 4 / 5 / 6
-Power Level Regeneration
Transform Self
-From normal self to Sailor Saturn by using her Power Stick and stating "Saturn Planet Power, Make-Up!", to Super Sailor Saturn by using her Saturn Crystal and saying "Saturn Crystal Power, Make-up!". Finally, she can also transform into Eternal Sailor Saturn, without need of the Silver Crystal (instead using her Saturn Crystal as a focus) and shouting "Saturn Eternal Power, Make-Up!". The reason for this independent level of power is that Hotaru was mystically enhanced by the Silver Crystal directly when it merged her with the Jedi Exile. NOTE: Hotaru can transform into Sailor Saturn without the Power Stick, but doing so takes a fair amount of Energy. She therefore starts with only half her max energy on the next panel when she does that. Also, she only has access to her 'Shadow Bolt' attack, unable to focus enough to use Shadow Arms in that case.)
-It is unknown if other/different/superior forms exist, but if they do, they will probably appear with new Transformation devices.
Extended Life
-A citizen of the Moon Kingdom and powerful Jedi, Hotaru has a much longer life span.
Rapid Regeneration / Healing Factor / Accelerated Healing Factor / Enhanced Healing Factor
-Death/Rebirth Maiden: All increase by one step in an area infused with death (for example, where a creature recently died)
Energy Battery 2 / 3 / 4 / 5
Strong in the Force +5
-Adds to all uses of Use the Force
Reflexive Dodge +4 / +5 / +6 / +8
Toughness +1 / +3 (No AP) / +4 (No AP) / +6 (No AP, No 2x damage)
Energy Defense +3
Mental Defense +7
Force Defense +8
Fast-Draw +3
-Lightsabers
Targeting +2
Lightsaber Forms
-Each panel, Hotaru can choose one of the three following Lightsaber combat forms to better adapt her fighting style to a given situation.
-Form I: Shii-Cho (Way of the Sarlacc): Provides a +2 bonus whenever user tries to disarm an opponent.
-Form II: Makashi (Way of the Ysalamari): Grants a +1 bonus to offense and defense against a single opponent, and +2 Defense VS Disarm attempts. Lose the bonus to offense and defense against multiple opponents.
-Form III: Soresu (Way of the Mynoch): Gains +2 to defense, and +1 to all attempts to deflect Blaster bolts.
Precognitive Flashes
-Others benefit from power: Hotaru can mentally transfer her visions to others if she so wishes within a Range of 2
Translation
-Hotaru speaks several alien languages aside from Basic, and can learn other languages in a matter of hours. Regardless of that, of course, she can still communicate using the Force.
Limited Self-Contained Lifeform
-Hotaru unconsciously use the Force around her to survive with less air, food, water or sleep than most people require. She may go without food for up to a month, without water for two weeks, without air for half an hour and needs only 2 hours of sleep per day to be fully functional.)
Force Wound
-Caused by the battle of Malachor V, Hotaru's essence is altered by a powerful Force Wound, which grants her, among other things, several powers and effects, as follows:
- Feed on Death: Regenerates 2 more stones of Energy in an area infused with Death or the Dark Side (Even the presence of a dead creature in close range is enough to trigger this, although there can be other causes)
- Death Growth: Hotaru gains up to 3 additional LoEs per issue by killing intelligent humanoids and drawing upon their lifeforce with her Force Wound; gaining 1 LoE per victim.
- Force Learning: Can learn instantly new Force techniques, powers and options merely by watching them in action, as her Force Wound draws upon its knowledge.
Universal Death/Rebirth
-By using the Silence Glaive, Hotaru can bring about the End of the World, destroying everything, and recreating it afterwards. This Godlike, unlimited power is only used in specific circumstances, has few technical limits, and is basically used when the Universe has become too messed up to be saved otherwise. For that reason, it is best left as a Plot device for the GM.
-Upon use, Hotaru will become a newborn baby in the New World, but will quickly grow to the age of a child in a matter of hours/days. If needed as Sailor Saturn for whatever reason, she will quickly mature to young adult/adult age as needed.
Reincarnate Self
-As Reconstitute Self, but with a few differences: As the princess of Saturn Hotaru cannot truly die. Or actually, she can, but she will eventually reincarnate into a new body, and life. It can happen only hundreds of thousands of years in the future, or merely a few days, depending on how much the universe needs her. In other words, it depends mostly on the GM. See Universal Death/Rebirth.
Jedi Master
-If Hotaru spends time training a Force-sensitive individual in the ways of the Jedi and the Force, the apprentice will eventually learn enough to become a Padawan in his own right. To do this, Hotaru must spend at least 10 panels teaching the basics to the Padawan (and the Padawan must be genuinely trying to learn, of course), at the end of which the Padawan will gain the following (Everything else must be bought with LoEs in time.):
- The "Jedi" Action at AN 1 (as Ninja)
- The "Use the Force" Action at AN 1, with options "Telekinesis", "Force Jump" and "Feel the Force" (see Use the Force action)
- At GM's discretion, the Padawan may get the modifier "Strong in the Force" if he/she has a particularly high potential in the Force. The higher this modifier can be is +5, which is exceptional (as for Hotaru herself), but even a person with +1 in this modifier is considered as unusually skilled in the Force.
Wealth: 9
-Gains $1 Billion per month/issue
-Currently has $3 Billion
-Normally would be lower, but she technically owns the Saturn Palace, a castle-like structure in orbit around Saturn, which holds riches and technologies from the Silver Millenium era
CHALLENGES
-Psychological (-1; mild distantness. Both Hotaru and the Exile were fairly forced into a somewhat more loner-like lifestyle for different reasons, and although both have overcome this in their own way, their combined past give them this somewhat aloof demeanor some may misinterpret as being cold.)
-Psychological (-3; heavy burden. The Jedi Exile was gifted with dangerous, unusual powers which could easily have led her to the Dark Side and turned her to one of the greatest threat her Universe would have ever known. Sailor Saturn is essentially the Angel of Death, whose very duties involve 'Ending the World', for it to be reborn from its ashes. In other words, Hotaru literally carries the world upon her shoulders, and sometimes it shows.)
-Loyal (-4; to Sailor Moon, her fellow Sailor Scouts, and to Revan, Atton Rand, Mical, and her other companions from the Exile's world.)
-C.T.S.U.F.U (-3; like the other Sailor Senshi, and the honorable Meetra Surik, Hotaru is a real heroine, doing her best to help others and fight for love, peace and justice.)
-Haunted past (-2; the difficult past of Hotaru Tomoe, and the horrors of the Mandalorian/Sith War, both plague Hotaru's mind and memories. Sometimes even affecting her dreams.)
EQUIPMENT
-Clothes and Jedi robes/hood lost to an explosion, as well as boots
-Purple Nail polish
-The Jedi Exile's Lightsaber (+5, AP, May be used to deflect energy bolts back to attackers and cut through very hard materials. This powerful Lightsaber is Cyan in color, and was crafted with a very rare crystal which bonded with Meetra Surik and granted her additional powers. When held, on each panel, the wielder can gain one of the following bonuses: +1 to Str, Agl or Spd; +1 to its Wpn.modifier, +1 to Use the Force, +1 to Defense, or make it glow to produce light (as Create Light 4, Area 3 around wielder. The Lightsaber is also exclusive, its crystal sensing the wielder's identity and shutting itself off if it senses the wielder isn't the one it was bonded with. Of course, the bond was transfered to Hotaru after the two merged.)
-Gae Buidhe
-Gae Dearg
-The Silence Glaive (+6, 2x damage, AP, Normal and Stun damage, Indestructive, Exclusive. Grants +4 to all uses of Death and Rebirth when held, and is required to use Saturn Glaive Surprise, Death/Reborn Revolution, and Universal Death/Rebirth techniques. Sailor Saturn can manifest it to and from existence with but a thought, causing it to vanish entirely when she doesn't need it and make it appear when she does. This incredibly powerful artefact is not only a terrifying weapon which, combined with Sailor Saturn's powers, is devastating all by itself, but is also the very key to the End, and Beginning, of the known Sailor Moon universe, and to a lesser extent, others. It can be used to use the virtually infinite power of the Universal Death/Rebirth, allowing Sailor Saturn to achieve her fate as the Messiah of Silence and destroy the world, so that it can be made anew, free from its past flaws. It is entirely indestructible and may only be wielded by her.)
-2x Heavy Blaster Pistols (+3, 2x damage, Limited AP, Can deal Normal or Stun damage (Stun mode only works at 20 yards and less of range), Range 4. Can fire 50 shots each per Power pack.) (One of which was lent to Tyler before they went out to explore the planet again)
-3 Thermal Detonators per mission (+5, AP, 2x damage, area of 4; the Thermal Detonators are similar to a grenade except that it can be set to explode up to 10 seconds after the Detonator is armed. It causes devastating concussive and heat damage.)
-10 Power Packs for her Heavy Blaster Pistols
-Comlink (Range 10+, standard pocket military-grade communicator.)
-Datapad (Advanced computer granting +2 to all Technology/Computer actions when using it.)
-Transformation Pen (This magical pen allows Hotaru to transform herself into virtually any humanoid [although so far, she has only been seen transforming into humans of various kinds, age, and of both genders]. It works as Shape Shifting 8, but she does not need to spend stones to use or maintain it. This can also be used to change only her clothes and/or hairstyle, or simply add a couple of accessories [for example, an umbrella, a watch or sunglasses]. Finally, if Hotaru does not have access to her Power Stick at the moment, her Pen can be used to transform into Sailor Saturn, but she loses access to her Shadow Arms option in that case.)
-Power Stick (used in her transformation into Sailor Saturn. Indestructible.)
-Saturn Crystal Brooch (used in her transformation into Super Sailor Saturn, and Eternal Sailor Saturn. Indestructible.)
-Sailor Saturn Uniform (+2 defense, Indestructible; uniform cannot be removed easily by anyone other than Hotaru herself [Str 5 required to even try (or something similar, depends on the GM), and stones used for that purpose must at the very least beat regular defense].)
-The Ebon Hawk, heavily modified SG-80 Dynamic-class freighter (see below)
______________________________________________________________
STORY: Hotaru Tomoe, also known as Sailor Saturn, the Pretty Sailor Suited Soldier of Death and Rebirth, or the Messiah of Silence, was one of Sailor Moon's allies and a member of the Outer Senshi, whose duties was to protect and safeguard the world on a greater, farther scale. However, while most of the other girls' duties had to do with stopping evil and monsters before it was too late, Sailor Saturn's duties were to stop evil and monsters even when it was.
When the world would be too corrupted or too compromised to save, it was Sailor Saturn's duty to use the infamous Silence Glaive to destroy the World, ending everything... so that she could recreate it from its ashes and bring new life and hope from its destruction for the world to exist anew, without its previous hopeless fate. Hotaru Tomoe was, essentially, the last stand of the Universe in the face of its own destruction, ensuring that through her power, the world could be saved... even when it couldn't.
In another Universe entirely, a strong-willed woman named Meetra Surik, but far better known under the title 'Jedi Exile', had participated in one of the bloodiest battles of her era, the Battle of Malachor V, where she, a General of the Republic under its leader, Revan, gave the order to activate a super weapon known as the Mass Shadow Generator, which decimated both the Republic Fleet and their Sith enemies, causing countless deaths, and causing the woman to unconsciously sever her own connection to the Force in order to survive the backlash from so many deaths, and a mysterious and powerful Force Wound to imbue her essence, although its effect were sealed for years. The only surviving Jedi of the battle to not turn to the Dark Side afterwards, and then apparently blind to the Force and unable to use its powers, Surik returned to the Jedi Council to face its judgement regarding the war, her actions and the destruction they had caused. This resulted in her exile, and her nickname, 'the Jedi Exile'.
Years passed, and eventually the Exile returned, only to face the Dark Side anew in battle. Eventually, however, she began feeling the Force again, and soon discovered her new powers, which restored her Jedi abilities in little time, allowing her to exceed them greatly as she adventured. She had a unique ability to create bonds with others and feed on Death, and had the strength of will to not fall to the Dark Side from it, despite the fears of the Jedi Order. Her power grew more and more until, eventually, she played a pivotal role in the defeat of the Sith Triumvirate, defeating the three most powerful Sith Lords of that era, Darth Sion, Darth Nihilus and Darth Traya, and once again proving her value as a true Jedi Master. Afterwards, she left for the Unknown Regions to search for the lost Jedi Revan, where she would continue her adventures.
Those two individuals had only a handful of things in common, but both definitely shared very important traits: the two could change the world drastically... and the two were far too important to risk losing. The most important treasure of Usagi Tsukino (a.k.a Sailor Moon), the Silver Crystal, sensed this latter fact, and used its infinite power to protect the two. How? ...By bringing them together and making them a unique, powerful entity.
For all the Jedi Exile's power, however, Hotaru's was of a more cosmic scale, and her duties were more important, so while most aspects of the Exile's personality colored Hotaru, the latter girl's personality remained highly dominant despite their merging, making her still refer to herself as Hotaru Tomoe, although she retained all the memories, beliefs and lore of the Exile. Sailor Saturn, the Jedi Exile... both existed as one, ensuring both of their powers would never fail the world.
Little did either know that there were plenty other Universes out there.
