Wiseman, a human terrorist in the eyes of the royal family and government, claimed to have waited patiently through meditation to obtain power of his own. Using the words of the royal family against them, he claimed that Earth belonged to mankind and not extraterrestrials. That they should fight back, not work alongside them, and that immortality was sacrilege.

He demonstrated his power as a human by creating terrorism, reviving crime and murder that had been unseen for a decade. He informed Earthlings that the White Moon was doing nothing to stop him. Much to the dismay of the government, Wiseman managed to gain followers in his teachings and formed the Black Moon Clan.

Neo Queen Serenity, unable to gain the courage to step into the conflict, allowed the government to handle the situation. It went against what she believed in to kill a human. Presently, the Crystal City has received the highest crime rates in over three decades with the Black Moon Clan’s formation. But Neo Queen Serenity was uninformed of the true nature of Wiseman, that Wiseman was not a human.

Unknowingly to Earthlings, Wiseman was a fragment of Chaos in human form. He had managed to bestow his followers with his powers through the use of the Black Moon crescents that formed on his followers foreheads after their initiation rites.

Followers of the Black Moon may invite new recruits to join their cause. Others may find themselves lured into the cause through intimidation and fear. However, in order to prove that they’re trustworthy, the initiate first must commit murder. Murder demonstrates the willingness to pursue chaos and undergo a dark path and do what it takes to put an end to the White Moon. Initiates who choose to commit murder will start off as a soldier.

If the initiate is unwilling to commit murder and obtain a rank upon joining the Black Moon, the initiate has another choice: a criminal act of their choosing. However, this is often frowned upon by higher ranked members, as it demonstrates weakness. Initiates who choose to perform a criminal act will start off as an associate, a rank below a soldier.

If the initiate is able to succeed, they are given the mark of the Black Moon, an upside down black crescent on their forehead by Wiseman. Wiseman then grants them one realm of influence, one power and teleportation.

Soldiers and associates of the Black Moon are given a mineral for their codename, e.g. Diamond, Sapphire, or Rubeus (Ruby) which is up to your choosing. When a soldier or associate has been promoted to the rank of commander, they gain a color attached to their codename, e.g. White Diamond, Blue Sapphire.

Black Moon members may still use their civilian identities, but when communicating with another member of the Black Moon they prefer to use their codenames.

Wiseman

Otherwise known as Death Phantom, Wiseman is the leader of the Black Moon who everyone abides by. Unknowingly to everyone, he is also a fragment of Chaos, similarly to Queen Metaria.

Prince(ss)

With the formation of the Dark Alliance, the Black Moon's hierarchy has changed. Queen Metaria has bestowed White Diamond the title of Prince Diamond for his agreement to the union. As a Prince, Diamond has more authority in the Dark Kingdom than a standard knight or soldier.

Commanders

They are the highest ranking members of the Black Moon Clan. Under the will of Wiseman, each commander is capable of assigning missions to their soldiers. Commanders are recognized by the color attached to their name and they’re considered the most loyal to Wiseman.

Soldiers

They are members of the Black Moon who underwent the murder initiation rites. While some may have also been in the Black Moon for a long time, it takes a while for them to obtain recognition to become a commander. Some associates may also have been promoted to soldier after obtaining recognition and proving their worth. Each soldier is assigned a commander and must obey them.

Associates

They are members of the Black Moon who underwent the criminal act initiation, and they’re basically considered the scum of the Black Moon. It takes a while for an associate to gain recognition to be promoted as a soldier, and they must work hard in proving their worth. Associates who’ve proven their worth may be promoted to soldier.

The Black Moon are capable of living on Earth without getting caught. So long as their upside down crescent moon symbol is not on their forehead, to Earthlings and other factions they will appear as an ordinary human. But once their crescent forms on their forehead for them to use their powers, they are seen to everyone as a member of the Black Moon. They may only use their powers when their crescent moon is on their foreheads, they cannot wield it without it.

In order to properly differentiate their identities, please ensure that you use their civilian name when writing with their civilian identity and their Black Moon name when writing their Black Moon persona.

As the Black Moon has just formed for the first time, its members have yet to obtain the power of the Black Crystal. They do not possess Black Crystal Earrings. Instead, all of their powers are generated from the upside down black crescent moon on their foreheads. Unknowingly to Black Moons, Wiseman still has the ability to manipulate them through their crescents, but not nearly as extensive as their future counterparts.

Unfortunately, they are limited to the realm of influences of nature, water, fire, thunder, air, metal, mediumship, psychic, and darkness and may choose only one realm of influence. All Black Moons have the ability to teleport and speak telepathically to each other.

Wiseman has granted his subordinates one realm of influence, 4 attacks and 2 abilities.

Droids

Presently, the Black Moon do not have access to droids as Blue Sapphire has not created them, nor has he the ability to do so as Wiseman has not merged with Nemesis. Therefore all of their violence is currently being done by its members. They believe that because everything is done by them and not the aid of underlings, that they are much more powerful and should be more respected than the Dark Kingdom rebel group.

Scientists today have discovered and confirmed the existence of a 10th planet in the Solar System, lingering beyond Pluto with an unusual orbit. However, they’re unable to pinpoint its exact location and study it at the present time. Wiseman has not yet therefore been banished to Nemesis and has not merged with the planet to create the Black Crystal.

In the 40th Century, Wiseman was building an elite team known as the Shades, and shortly after Princess Lady Serenity and her court disappeared into the 21st Century in efforts to put an end to their turmoil, he unveiled their true natures.

Originally, the Shades started off as mere recruits who seemed rather talented for what they were, but they were also suspicious in the sense that they answered to nobody but Wiseman himself. Not even to Diamond. Nobody even realized that each of them were commanders in rank by the time of their unveiling.

But when Princess Lady Serenity ran off into the 21st Century, he summoned the Shades and and he unveiled their true natures to the Black Moon of the 40th Century.

Led by Sailor Nemesis, these Guardians abide by Wiseman’s whim from the 40th Century. They followed Lady Serenity into the past, their mission to kill her and her team and to partake in the Dark Alliance and ensure it follows onto the proper path that leads to their future.

Because when they arrived the Dark Alliance was a unified faction, there was no longer a need to divide themselves. However, they are still considered recruits as they have not been in the 21st Century’s Dark Alliance long enough.

Failure was not an option, and thus they brought with them the Black Moon’s technologies from the future in order to ensure their success.

But throughout the cosmos, nobody would have suspected that these Sailor Guardians were merely pawns in Wiseman’s and Queen Metaria’s own game. The Shades weren’t meant to awaken in their current state, but as the Galaxy Cauldron sensed the Solar System was in turmoil, it had sent new Guardians to Earth in order to aid with the Sol Guardians victory. Wiseman had used his orb and detected their Sailor Crystals, luring them to the Black Moon Clan before they awakened their Sailor Crystals and became pure Sailor Soldiers.

There was one Shade who remained untouched by the light, a true Soldier of Chaos, and that was the Shade’s leader—Sailor Nemesis. Possessing a Sailor Crystal born from the undetected planet, Nemesis is the last soldier of the Solar System who was born on Earth.

Sometime within the 38th Century, Guardian Cosmos had cast off new Sailor Crystals to Earth, each of them taking on the form of newborns from that time. Each young child grew up separately from one another, each of them living their own individual lives. It wasn’t until later in their lives that as these Sailor Crystals began to bloom, Wiseman began to detect them with his own Black Crystal and conjured up a plan of his own.

Through misfortunate events, false promises, among other events in the girls’ lives, these girls were in some form of way recruited into the Black Moon Clan and joined on their own volition. Wiseman took immediate interest in these girls and began to train them into an elite team as he recognized their potential, but did not ever force them to do things that they weren't already willing to do for the Black Moon's cause.

None of the girls knew that their original purpose was to do the exact opposite of their assigned mission: to ensure peace on Earth. To aid the White Moon. They simply didn’t have the chance to awaken their original purity.

They should be 25+ in appearance by the time of the 40th Century, but they will be biologically older than that.

Sailor Nemesis

Sailor Nemesis is the antithesis to Sailor Moon. She is the Sailor Guardian who was never supposed to exist, an artificial humanoid created by Wiseman using the Black Crystal. The Black Crystal is her own birthright, and through her own power she commands the Shades and ensures that they remain on the path to darkness.

Sailor Nemesis’s Sailor Crystal was not among the Shades who were cast off from the Galaxy Cauldron, and she was never “corrupted” – she was born that way.

Sailor Nemesis is the only Sailor Guardian among the Shades who is incapable of being purified. While it may seem that these girls are corrupted Sailor Guardians, one should remember that they chose to join the Black Moon on their own volition. They should not ever consider themselves to be “corrupted” humans.

Neo Queen Serenity and Neo Sailor Moon can purify the Shades, minus Sailor Nemesis, because of this.

The Shades fuku mimicks that of the Sol Guardians own, except it’s got a black base with accented primary colors. The brooch and tiara symbol is replaced with a Black Moon symbol. Their gloves, accessories, shoulder pads, shoes, and bow sizes may be of varying lengths.

Please note: when they are purified anything black will become white.
