They say that dreams are the windows into the secrets that you don’t know that you know. For years and years, you thought that the Royal Magisters were talking out of their asses when they said things like that.

Now?

Now you know that they were speaking the truth, and you know it in the most frustrating... the most infuriating way possible.

Your name is Serenity Artimisa Celene. You are the daughter of the Queen of the Moon Kingdom, which naturally makes you the Moon Princess. The Heir of the Ginzuishou, and rightful ruler of the Sol System.

You are beautiful and wise. Able to turn conflict to peace with only a few words, though of course that means that you never learned how to fight.

From the day you were born, you were raised to rule a kingdom, and though you find it boring, you understand all the intricacies of how your kingdom functions. You learned how to keep the kingdom running, even if at the top you only manage the broad sweeps, leaving the more intricate parts of the systems to those specialists in their fields.

You are a master of stealth and disguise, able to sneak away down to the Earthen Kingdoms with ease. No one ever the wiser that you go to see your love, your Endymion down on the surface of the planet.

Not a single soul knew of your cunning actions.

And of course, as the daughter of the most magically powerful government in the entire solar system you are... You are magically powerful! You had learned the Theorems and the formula which governed the mystical arts.

...

Well... You were all of those things. Once upon a time. A time long gone now. You... You’re dead. You died. And you have no real idea how long it has been since you died, either.

All that you have, even here, in this world of your dreams are memories... But your memories of the last days of your kingdom are... fractured, fragmented, so badly splintered that you can only recall a moment here, or a second there.

All of your memories, except for one. Of everything that you can remember, there is but a single fragment of your last days that is large enough, that is sturdy enough for you to truly recall in whole.

Endymion... Dead on the ground before you, the pearlescent stones of the Royal Rose Garden stained with his blood. Terrifying beasts surround you, howling and baying, jeering mockeries on their lips as they leer at you with bloodthirsty eyes.

And there was the pain.

You remember the pain most of all. The sharp, cold sting of steel burying itself into the center of your chest.

In the end, you died by the sword that you forsook in life.

You can almost appreciate the irony of it.

Then... There is another something in the fragments of your memories, something that you know you will never be able to truly recall - Something that exists as a hole in your mind and your memories. Something that you can almost remember, in spite of the fact that you...

In spite of being dead when it happened.

You don’t know how you know what happened, but you can feel it in your bones, you can feel it in your blood. You can feel it in every inch of your new body.

Mother.

Your mother, the Queen of the Moon died.

You know that she did not die in vein, the fact that you are here proves that.

So you know that she must have done... something. She must have used the powers of the Ginzuishou, and somehow... impossibly...

Your soul inhabits a mortal coil once more.

You aren’t dead.

Yet, neither are you alive. At least, not outside of your dreams.

And... as if somehow summoned by that last thought, you hear the ever so irritating sound of the alarm designed to draw your waking self away from this world of dreams.

Away to a waking world where she cannot remember the things that you remember. A life where you don’t know the many things that you know.

But the alarm blares on and on, and as it does the world of dreams slowly darkens, fading into a blur of color and sound.

***BRRRING! BRRRING!

BRRRING! BRRRING!

---

With a tired groan and bleary eyes, you look out into the wasteland of blinding white and off-cream yellow. Somewhere, out there, is the source of the terrible evil that now besets you.

***BRRRING! BRRRING!

BRRRING! BRRRING!

---

With sleep encrusted eyes, you try and glare at the source of the sound, even as the remnants of your dream start to slip between your thoughts like droplets of water sliding between your fingers in the rain. You wish you had laser eyes.

If you had laser eyes, you could blow the irritation without having to get out from under your most lux... luxour... Your really nice blanket.

Just BOOM! And no more alarm clock. Or... Or if your alarm clock was evil, then you could use your Moon Tiara on it to dest-

Everything stops. You go from laying in your bed to sitting up so fast that your comforter flops over, knocking the alarm clock off your dresser, but that isn’t important right now.

No, all the countless thoughts bouncing back and forth the inside of your head suddenly cease, as you remember.

You remember everything from last night. You remember meeting Luna, you remember the fact that the cat could talk.

You remember her telling you a strange incantation. Words that caused you to transform, changing your clothes and filling your body with a strange energy that you still don’t understand.

Hearing Naru’s voice, and tracking the source down to her mother’s shop. The creature that was using the store to steal the life from people using the store’s jewelry.

You remember fighting the monster, nearly getting killed by the men and women under its sway.

Then, those three words.

Moon. Tiara. Action.

Turning the mystical tiara that had appeared on your head with your transformation into a mystical weapon which killed the demon and purified those affected by it.

Most importantly, you remember one thing above all else.

Your eyes snap over to the windowsill, where Luna lays outside in the branches of the tree beyond your window.

Luna, the space cat which gave you your powers said that she would explain everything in the morning.

Well it is morning now, and you have a lot of questions that need to be answered.

With a twist and a roll, you push off the mattress beneath you, and then with a flip you land on your feet, knees bending cushioning your weight and preventing your landing from making the slightest of sounds.

Then, as you rise back up to standing, you realize just what the hell you did right there.

How the hell did you just do that? Starting to turn back towards your bed, you find one leg where the other should be, ankles catching hold and-

You hit the ground with a solid thump.

Well... The grace and the finesse were nice while they lasted.

Your name is Usagi Tsukino. You are the first child of your mother, Ikuko Tsukino, and your father, Kenji Tsukino. Which means...

​

Well, it means that you are fourteen years old and in your first year of high school. It also means that you have a younger brother by four years named Shingo Tsukino.

Really, by every accounting, you seem to be an entirely ordinary teenage girl. Nothing special about you in any way.

Sure, you might have a knack for getting along with others. Figuring out the right things to say to people to make them smile and laugh has always come easy to you.

But really, beyond that? You don’t have a lot going for you. Other than the events of last night.

If you were not to count last night, then you would have to grudgingly admit that you have never thrown a punch. You don’t know the first thing about how to fight, or defend yourself. The best defense you have is to cry, and hope that someone saves you.

Again, this isn’t counting last night, where you managed to nearly keep pace with a car on the highway, and leapt from the ground to the top of a house.

When it comes to numbers...

Ah! Well... You are... Not... exactly a very good liar. Everyone seems to always know when you are trying to hide things from them.

And then there is your... schoolwork...

...

Like you said. You are pretty, and you are nice. But those are just about the only things in your life that you have going for you... Personally.

Yes, you have a wonderful family, and you aren’t broke all the time. Okay, yes, you are broke all the time, but that is because you spend your money at the Arcade.

One of these days you are going to get the high score on the Sailor V game, alright? It’ll all be worth it in the end. Yes.

Huh.

That was a very odd, and somewhat depressing tangent your thoughts went on right there. Must have been because you fell. Yes. Anyways. You need to talk with Luna.

That cat mentioned that there are supposed to be other guardians. That there is a great evil who has come to Tokyo.

She mentioned something about a Princess.

Stumbling back up to your feet, you cross the room and slide open your window.

"Hey!" You whisper, trying to get Luna’s attention without waking up anyone else in the house. "Hey Luna, wake up."

Unfortunately, you hurried whispers are not enough to wake the sleeping cat, and as you lean back away from the window, you glance back towards you bed...

Towards your clock.

Wait... Today is a school day! Oh no, what time is it? With the kind of energy that only ever comes with your regular morning panic, you skitter over to the clock, picking it up and returning it to your bedside table.

And there, on the face of the clock reads...

7:20!

You’re never up this early!

CHOOSE ONE: [ ][OP] If you start getting ready for school now... You might actually make it to class on time. [ ][OP] You normally leave later than this, so demanding answers from Luna about everything she said last night should be fine!

[Trait Discovered- Overly Emotional: During Character Events, there is a 15% chance of Usagi ignoring the vote and taking an option that fits her Personality Traits (Craven, Lazy, and Impatient), meaning that she will take the path of least resistance and whatever could possibly get her the results she wants now. This effect of this trait will decrease by 5% for each Negative Personality Trait that Usagi manages to Overcome.

Welcome to Usagi Quest, an odd blend between CK3 and Princess Maker that has been bouncing around in my brain for a while now.

You are Usagi Tsukino, the girl who will one day rule over the entire solar system from Crystal Tokyo. Sure is a big destiny for such a regular girl.

And to make it worse, Usagi isn’t exactly leadership material yet. She’s a softhearted crybaby who would rather spend her days playing video games, eat, or sleep instead of handling the responsibilities put in front of her.

You need to help this poor girl learn to maneuver her way through high school, learn how to balance her friendships and her duties...

Oh, and help her fight off the extra-dimensional invasion of the Dark Kingdom, its terrifying Queen Beryl, and the Dark Generals who serve under her.

Thankfully, Usagi isn’t alone. Sort of.

Yes, she has a cat named Luna who was there back in the fall of the Moon Kingdom, but there is also You.

Serenity Celene, the Moon Princess, and the little voice in the back of Usagi’s head that will be able to push her to overcoming her flaws, and discovering just how amazing of a person she can be.

And perhaps... even more important than helping Usagi discover who she is...

Look at this place. Humanity is trapped, stuck on this singular rock.

Once they expanded across the whole of the Solar System.

They can do so again, but it will take wits, it will take effort, and it will take time.

Usagi will one day rise to become the new Queen of the Moon, and that means that she needs a kingdom to rule.

This quest is split into two separate but equally important... Phases (Modes?)

To start with, this first update is a Character Event, something focused on Usagi (Or later other characters) and the decisions that they make. It is small, focused, and a singular event.

The second mode, which will commence once this tutorial event is complete, are Turns.

To begin with, Turns take place over a single week, during which Serenity is able to effect Usagi’s subconscious guiding her towards a particular goal over a week long time period.

During a Turn, there we be various actions that Usagi is able to partake in, one for each of her five Attributes: Diplomacy, Martial, Stewardship, Intrigue, and Learning.

These actions will push Usagi slowly closer to the End Goal? of uniting humanity, uplifting the species to once more fill the solar system, and creating Crystal Tokyo.

Some of these actions will work to push Usagi to slowly overcome her flaws, or become better in a stat. Maybe she might spend some time trying to learn to fight, or reading from her school books.

And of course, she needs to be on the lookout for potential plans of her enemies, and trying to find the other Sailor Senshi too.

Sure is a lot on her plate for a single girl.

But every good Queen has a council of advisors, people to help her rule her kingdom. Unfortunately, for now, Usagi only has a single voice crying out from her corner. A single person who can act as an advisor to her.
