   Just so there's no confusion when the next prologue is released 
(yes, it will be soon, stop looking at me like that) here's a little 
information on the original (with one or two exceptions) characters I 
created for the story.

Comments, flames, MSTings...you know the drill.

     The Crystal Knights:

  Name: Erica Carter
  Age: 25
  Rank: Major
  Personality: friendly, outgoing, with a air of command,
  moody at times 
  Hair: long straight red 
  Eyes: violet (used to be green before D-Point) 
  Current assignment: Commander,  101st Special Assault Squadron 
(Crystal Knights) 
  Special Notes: can generate a energy sword emitting 
from right hand

  Biography:

    Major Erica Carter is a person who knows about tragedy. 
 After graduating from high school and being recruited for
 EDF training, she returned home to her fiance and her
 family only to have a hellmouth open in the center of
 town.  Though she and the EDF units sent to the town fought valiantly, 
 they could not stop the demon invasion and a evacuation of the 
 remaining residents was called.  Major Carter's family was killed in 
 the inital invasion, and her fiance threw her on the last
 transport out before being gored by a demon.  Then the
 hellmouth mysteriously collapsed, destroying the town along
 with it.  
    
     Carter threw herself in her work, going up the ranks to
 Captain quickly.  Then she was transferred to Tokyo.  She
 first came across the Sailor Senshi during the quest for
 the Rainbow Crystals.  Helping out with her powered armor suit 
 whenever she could, she was present at the Starlight Tower when the 
 Silver Crystal was reformed and Princess Serenity was revealed.  In
 the attack by Kunsite that same day, her armor was trashed and
 she spent a month in the hospital.
    
      Then came the assault on D-Point (the Dark Kingdom base). 
 Carter was part of a special assault force that would be
  sent to D-Point to aid the Senshi in the final battle. 
  Heavy winds delayed the transport launch, and when the
  unit's Devastators finally made drop in the Northern Arctic, they 
  were too late to save the Senshi.  Then Metallia burst out of the 
  ground.  The attack force opened up with all weapons, but it had no 
  effect on the master of the Dark Kingdom.  Metallia was about to
  destroy them when Sailor Moon appeared.  Metallia lost interest in 
  the suits and went after Sailor Moon.  During the ensuing battle,
  the attack group was destroyed one by one, except for Carter,
  who managed to avoid the dark energy and assist Serenity in
  the battle.
  
       Then the spirits of the Senshi appeared and lent their
   strength to Serenity, giving her the power to destroy
   Metallia.  Afterwards, the energy pulse form the Silver
   Crystal expanded along the terrain.  Carter's suit had been
   breached by one of the last volleys from Metallia, and so she had no 
   protection against the energy form the Crystal.  She fell 
   unconscious as the radiation counters blared a alarm.  She awoke in 
   a EDF hospital bed nearly a month afterwards, rejoining the Senshi
   for the final battle against Ail and Anne.  The first thing she 
   noticed when she woke up was that her eyes were no longer green, but 
   a piercing violet.  The other thing she noticed came shortly after 
   the Dark Moon Family began their attacks on the Crystal Points and
   Chibi- Usa.  During a battle with a droid, she found out that
   she could generate a energy blade with her right hand.  After
   the final attack by the Wiseman and Black Lady, the Crystal
   Knights were formed, and Carter was promoted to Major and
   given command.  She currently pilots a Excalibur-class mobile suit 
   brought back from the future Crystal Tokyo.  The Knights' Excaliburs 
   are reverse engineered from plans brought with the mecha.  During
   the Deathbuster attacks and the Dead Moon Circus attacks, the
   Crystal Knights served and assisted the Sailors with distinction. 

        During Galaxia's attack, however, the Knights were called away
    to defend Earth form the attack of the Dark Fleet, which had
    used Galaxia's attack as a distraction to invade Earth.  The
    EDF, and the Knights in particular, managed to repel the
    invasion, but at a terrible cost.  

--Destiny's Path Spoilers!!!--
      Currently, Major Carter is helping the Senshi plan
   Usagi's wedding.  She has also taken a interest in
   someone.  Major Julia Martins was sent by the EDF to help
   the Knights plan the wedding and is basically the
   Knight's liasion to the rest of the EDF.  
       As soon as Erica looked at her, she couldn't get her out of her 
   mind, and suspects that Julia is feeling the same way. But they 
   don't excactly know what they're feeling now.  The rest of the 
   Knights and the Sailor Senshi have a pretty good idea of what they 
   are feeling, but are letting the two of them figure it out for 
   themselves.

      Appearances: Okay, look on page 241 of the Ghost in the Shell
   manga collection and the issue six cover in the collection for
   a general look on what Erica Carter looks like (human, and
   clothed, of course.) Major Julia Martins: err....basic look is
   based on Jun Nakamura from the video Countdown (Hey! My
   hormones made me buy it, okay?) only without
   the....ummm...err...."extra equipment."  (She's the one on the
   box cover, BTW)

    
    Name: Atsuko Natsume
    Age: 20 (aprox.)
    Rank: Captain
    Hair: long, straight purple
    Eyes: Green
    Personality: bubbly, cheerful, commanding, loyal
    Special Notes: nickname: Nuku-Nuku

Bio:
        Yes, this is the same Nuku-Nuku we all know and love from
    APCCGNN, but with a few differences.  During a fight with
    Eimi, a droid suddenly attacked.  In the ensuing battle,
    Eimi was mortally injured.  As the Senshi fought the
    droid, Atsuko tried to save Eimi's life.  Finally, in a last course 
    action, Atsuko downloaded Eimi's core consciousness into her own 
    system. Needless to say, this caused quite a system error as two 
    core programs struggled to exist in the same body.  During the
    Wiseman battle, energy from the Crystal struck Atsuko and managed 
    to merge the two souls, resulting in a Atsuko who has become a 
    little wiser and mature in relation to her life.  The bubbly person
    we know is still there, but just a little dimmed. 
        Afterwards, she joined the EDF and was assigned as the XO of 
the newly formed Crystal Knights.
