Write Up

Name: Giseininaru Yuuwaku (To fall victim to temptation), goes by Yuu
Age: 26
Height: 6'1"

Senshi Name: Scorpio Knight

Realm of Influence: Lust and Seduction
Weapon: A pair of War Fans made out of burnished black metal with silver metal spokes. The edge of the fans are tipped with maroon.

Attacks:

Seduction Spiral: Snapping his fans open, Scorpio Knight holds them down, muttering "Seduction." Silver energy begins to glow around them, and he begins to twirl them around his fingers. He spins in slow circle, drawing trails of energy around him. Once he fully turns, he faces front and stops twirling his fans, snapping them closed and pointing them at his target, shouting "Spiral!" The energy twirls out and surrounds his target. It causes them to become disoriented by seduction, being easily "seduced" by pretty much anyone that surrounds them; enemies, allies, random people...it's a great distraction, but that's it.
Lustful Gaze: Snapping his fans open, Scorpio Knight hides his face from them whilst uttering the word "Lustful." His fans begin to glow with maroon energy. Slowly, he pulls them away from his eyes, which are closed. Suddenly, they fly open and he snaps his fans closed, thrusting them forward and shouts "Gaze!" Once he locks eyes with his target, they become entranced by Scorpio, forgetting all else and focusing only on him. As long as he keeps eye contact with them, they will remain his "slave," allowing his allies to finish the job. This works on both men and women, but is less likely to work on someone who is, say, asexual.

History

In the past, Scorpio was the Grand High Priest of the order of Chronos. He over-saw the order, and was a good, level-headed and pious man. It was due to this that when Queen Serenity chose him to become the "shadow guardian" of Pluto, of which Scorpio readily accepted. He was more then honored to serve his kingdom in such a way, and gladly took on such a responsible role.

But things quickly fell apart.

The star of Scorpio was associated with lust and desire, and having such a foreign notion within his body caused the once Grand High Priest to fall from grace. He became reclusive, feeling as if he had gone completely mad, becoming something he did not wish to become.

It was not until Scorpio Knight went to the Time Gate for the first time and witnessed the enclosing loneliness surrounding his Princess that he began to recover. From that moment forward, he vowed he would make sure she was rarely alone, and began to find solace in his duty, even though he was becoming something he did not want to be.

When the destruction of the Silver Millennium occurred, something strange happened. His Princess' talisman, the Garnet Orb, resonated for the first time and called her to the ruins of the Moon Kingdom. He followed silently after her, always sure he would remain by her side no matter what. And, when the the three Talismans summoned Sailor Saturn, Scorpio died alongside Pluto, still forever unseen by her...

Reborn 1,000 years on Earth, Yuuwaku was the only child of wealthy parents. He lived a privileged life and excelled at school, quickly making friends and, as he grew older, lots of female "friends" as well. He earned quite the reputation of being a "lady killer" throughout his school years - and even into adulthood - a secret he kept well under wraps from his parents.

However, his true love was coming alive on stage or in front of a camera. Yuu joined the drama club as early as he could, enjoying the attention he got from being on stage. In his adult life, he soon scored roles in both movies and on the stage. But, those jobs still came few and far between, and he soon began to mix his business with his pleasure - Yuu became even more renowned as a porn star. Given his flirtatious nature and dashing good looks, he excelled in the industry, and quite enjoyed his work.

Yuu awoke in his mid-teens (he was 15 at the time). Even though he died in obscurity, never known by the one person who mattered the most to him, Scorpio Knight opted to keep to his original mission, silently watching his Princess grow and awaken on her own...and, of course, praying that one day they will meet.

About the Art

OKAY GUYS.

You *might* be wondering what I was doing with this image. man!Scorpio is still a man-whore (but is arguably more straight then fem!Scorpio), but I actually wanted to show there's way more to Scorpio then sex.

I really wanted to delve into that Scorpio is also a very mature, extremely devoted individual, and not just a slut.

I would like to say that this is something that DID happen with Scorpio as she is in canon. She was there with Pluto throughout her solitude, even though Pluto never knew she was there.

Buuut, that being sad...man!Scorpio is more openly "in love" with Setsuna then fem!Scorpio is (yes, female Scorpio does have feelings for Setsuna, though she doesn't know/would never admit this)

I gave him fans instead of a spear due to his gender. Spears are *very* phallic weapons, which works well as a female. But, as a man, I wanted to give him a more "feminine" weapon...and I thought of fans XD Even though they're not girly weapons per-say, I dunno, it just popped into my brain

ANYWAY!

I finished this over a week ago (...more like two? *doesn't remember*), and I've been so anxious to post it!

I am in LOVE with this image!

Even though there isn't as much detail in this as my last entry, nor did it take me as long, I still love it even more then before! The composition, the emotion, the background...I love it all! I'm probably shooting myself in the foot again, though; my perspective shots always suck, and I didn't use any references for Pluto But, I still LOVE This SO FSKING HARD that I don't care if I get eliminated for it - I'm so proud of it ^___^

Again, since this is based off of the Manga, Pluto's Garnet Rod is colored via the manga AKA no yellow I Also was sure to shade it in more of a "blue" tone to reflect how the Time Gate looks.

Fog brushes by

Scorpio Knight's stock (head + torso) , while his legs are from . His arms were done by me, since I couldn't find something that worked

Pluto is without references! Oh god I'm going to die because of it XD
