Description As promised in my most recent journal entry, I would be unveiling a major OC character from the sequel Sailor Moon story currently I am wrapping up at my local anime convention here in Portland. Twice that weekend, I underwent the metamorphosis of writer to actor, wearing, quite literally, the mask of Belyus.

So who is he, really? He is one of the five Sage Stars of Sailor Cosmos, who are in fact sailor soldiers whom, like Endymion, are uniquely men. Chaos explained this to Jadeite in the current story, stating that as Cosmos ran from their fated battle in the future, she split her own crystal into six, hiding the five among the distant stars of the galaxy, placing them in men that they would not be so easily found by her sister Sailor Chaos.

Belyus was a humble storyteller when Chaos came against his world not far into the future. His sailor star was so unique, like Endymion that normal combat was impossible. Worse, Chaos knew what he was and he understood that she had come for him. With no way to fend her off or shield his people, The kind Belyus was finally cornered and subjugated as a minion of Chaos.

Before his fall, he was able to pull of one final noble act; using his Sailor power, which was invoked by the stories he told, he wrote the names of as many people as he could onto sheets of paper made from the great world tree on his planet. After this, he ground the pages into a find sand and hid them in a vial in his cane, hoping to seed the grains into the pristine waters of "a world bathed in light," that his people might be saved.

His mind was shattered shortly after that; he was marked with the red crescent we know know belongs to Chaos and his free will was sealed behind the jester's masquerade mask he wears and can never removed. He is then forced into a coupling with a tainted senshi infused by Chaos to bring her into a physical body through a child, whom like Sailor Saturn grows at a rapid pace. Once this is accomplished, Belyus is sent to Crystal Tokyo to test the defenses of that holy metropolis of Earth. He is among the first enemies our champions of love and justice must deal with.

Chaos has a wierd sense of humor; since Crystal Tokyo is served by both King and Queen, and as our sailor soldiers stand as princesses in this court, she fashions Belyus into the likeness of a court jester, as if to complete the court. Further, Belyus can only speak in rhyme, so this is how he communicates to the other characters in the story.



"Behold this pretty world, left in light all to fester! My name is Belyus, Chaos Court Jester. A question oh questions! A game, what fun! One question from each, then the killings begun!" Belyus, to Neo Queen Serenity

He's an annoying fruit, and I'm sure the rhymes will end in all do time, but the mask will be undone by the love of just one. (Dammit, see how it goes, starting to rhyme, and lost in its throes!)

Anyway, and all the rest, Belyus might find redemption, just in time to face the troubles that come. Will you all be game to follow yet another insane year of Way-chan's Sailor Moon shenanigans?

Photo was taken by a friend at Kumouri Con 2009. "Quin" mask and theatrical cosmetics was obtained from a cool website stationed in Bellevue, Washington and was hand crafted by Morgan. Belyus could not have existed without their patient understanding of a thirty-something Sailor Moon fanatic trying to be a cartoon.

Ah-ha! I was wondering why I kept looking over at your Belyus and thinking: "where do I know him from?"
I was that Pluto hanging about btw. ^^

Ah, hello again ^_^ Your Pluto cosplay was fantastic, thank you for indulging my bit of fanboy-isim and letting me snap a photo of it. Did you enjoy the convention?

Sure thing. ^_^ Taking on the mantle of Pluto's champion from the novel would be just wonderful. If I can pull it off, he'll debut in 2010 at Kumoricon.

Way-chan~!

I saw you at the convention, I tried to say hi to you but I guess you didn't hear me. Your costume was AMAZING.

The backstory is wonderful by the way, loved it almost as much as observing your cosplay.

Sorry I didn't spot you there. You liked Belyus? He's was a spiffy fellow. I had a few photos, but not many really made the connection that I was a sailor Moon villian. OC's have it rough! LOL

Aw, that's fine. ^_^ And yes, I loved Belyus. :3

I'm sorry you had the photo-fail problems. Wow, lol.

The mask was simply gorgeous. Complimented your face very well; made it thin and slightly ominous. I'm glad I was able to experience it in person. It was a delightful cosplay to observe.

You really do have such a creative mind. To figure such an intricate storyline. I do hope you are crafting an original novel as well. ;]

I like to think I am, the circumstances anyway. I will be forever enamored with Sailor Moon; it's been a pleasure to dally in that universe, creating characters to help fill in the gaps we were left to wonder about. My true hope is this book will have the same excitement this first one does; Belyus was introduced because I could make his costume quickly. Others are far to intricate to even attempt by my humble hands.

Thank you for such kind words. ^_^

I was immensely enjoying reading the backstory on this costume, I especially loved the whole "jester for the court" thing.

Thank you very much. Each of them has a good backstory - for me it's one of the best parts of fan writing. I am glad you enjoyed it.

Yeah... your costume was scary in person. Nice though, is your monster red eye in this photo.

Great costume. I didn't even know who you were when I first saw you!

I got that a lot. I knew going in that OC's would have a rough time of it. I am just glad I wasn't Belyus when I glomped Sailor Pluto. I would have been a sad panda if I scared hthat cosplayer while wearing that thing...

I think she may have died of shock and then you might have had to kill yourself for it... >.<

She was really freaking pretty though ^_^
