We are all Sentinels. Whether you accept this fact or not, when your soul dies you become a guardian of a star and from thenceforward, you fight and protect the star until you are worthy enough to pass into the gates of The Unknown. To let a star fade is unacceptable, to betray your star is unheard of, but to take another’s star for your own gain is an act of treason. We are the champion of the stars and it is our job to see to it that you never break any of these rules. We are the Sentinels of the Starry Skies.

Let your chronicle begin...
Trust me, you read it right. Posting is now open and we encourage you to write your first masterpiece!
Here's a few prompts if you find yourself stuck or confused as to what to write:
- Tell us about the last few moments before you died...
- How did your first day on the job go?
- Are there more Sentinels?
- What are your feelings as the newly (or not so newly) dead?
These are just suggestions! If you have a different idea, don't hesitate to write about it. If you'd like to start directly at the Gate then here's a brief description of who and what is there:
People
All Sentinels [This is always your first stop when you first die]
Apus, the Gate Keeper*
Capella [Unless she's out terrorizing someone]
Scenery
The grass is silver-colored
The sources of light come from Sun Children who just wander around everywhere
Little streams of the Milky Way have bronze colored fish in it, courtesy of Pisces*
Looks like you're ready to post! Oh wait! Two quick FYI's just to make your life more complicated
*Apus and Pisces have asterisks next to their names because they're constellations. Basically they're going to look like Stars, but a lot taller.
And the last thing to make your life complicated- Sentinels do not fight. It is their Stars job to fight while they guide them to safety. The things you'll be fighting will take the shape of shadowy beasts and are very tricky. Try not to get killed again.

Step forward Capella, Star
Name: Capella
Sentinel: Jade Alvarez
Number: 6
Height: 7 ft 1 in
Personality: Capella is very bubbly and likes to talk, even when it gets her in trouble. She's liked by many, but is always getting on Sirius' nerves especially. She has a habit of 'mothering' everyone (to the extreme annoyance of many of the older stars), but her intentions are good even when her advice is not. In brief moments of clarity, Capella can be mature. Try not to get her on a mad day though, she can be rather... moody.
Appearance: She radiates a constant amount of light like all the other Stars and seems to wear a robe/dress woven of light. Her hair is a very bright gold color and it's worn as a braid down her back.
Likes: Meeting people, because new faces are so rare to find. Since Stars don't require eating, Capella prefers to listen to what other people saw and ate while they were alive. Capella frequently visits Apus (the Gate Keeper) to get stories from him and ask him if he's seen anything interesting.
Dislikes: Being in place for too long, people not wanting adventure, and the color green.
Strength: Her first attack is most crucial to begin the fight. She weights the end of her weapons so they pack more of a punch.
Weakness: She rushes into just about everything without thinking very much. And she has a notion that somehow everyone can predict what she is going to do, therefore she expects them to follow.
Weapons of choice: Four pronged trident.
Stationed: With the new Sentinels at the top of the Road (easiest spot for now)
Interesting Facts: Trying to keep Capella focused is like stapling water to a tree. She's prone to lots of activity and running around in general. She's more of a messenger than a fighter, but for now she'll function as a Sentinel's Star until the missing members of her section show up.
[-------------]
Once we get more people to join us in Sentinel's Proxy, I'm going to ditch Capella so we can maximize our group with more positions. She's just a filler character for now and that's probably as far as she'll get, but I hope you guys enjoy having her around.
We welcome: Marcella L. Terrance, Sentinel
Full Name: Marcella Lei Terrance
Age: 21
Date of Death: November 24, 2010
Height: 5 ft 9 in
Personality: Since she had to grow up from a very young age, Marcella can handle herself in tough situations and talk her way out of most things. Though she won't show it, she'd rather have someone else calling the shots and taking charge. Her main goal in life (and now death) is to make sure everything goes according to plan, even when things get dicey. Marcella finds it hard to function without a structure and often takes time out to think alone and keep a level head. Overall she's a bit OCD.
Appearance: Marcella feels she has little time to worry about hair, so she pays very little attention to it. The ends of her hair stop just above her elbows and she often gets frustrated when it gets in the way. Her midnight black hair brings out the color of her skin which is like diluted coffee (tan) and her eyes are a rather dark shade of green.
Likes: Believing in something beyond the physical senses, children (not like a creep), warm beverages, kiwi-flavored anything, and her little brother.
Dislikes: Hair and spiders! Especially when they're combined, hairy spiders takes the cake for ultimate scariness. Pineapples, guava, and other strange sounding fruit is pretty gross... So is anything remotely resembling dried fruit. Blatant ignorance, loud noises (i.e. thunder, fireworks), and being put in charge.
Family/Friends: Having recently moved to New York, Marcella doesn't have many friends. She lives at home in an apartment with her parents and little brother. Her mother suffers from mental problems and believes that this 'Marcella' is not the real one, so she frequently tries to hurt her (suffocation, choking, etc). The father works long hours to escape the crazy home life, therefore he is hardly in her life.
How Did You Die: It was the day before her brother's 11th birthday and she was working the late shift in one of the shops of China Town, New York. She got permission to leave early to buy the gift for her brother, but just as she was getting out of the district, a series of firework explosions went off beside her. A few people were injured and one or two people sustained 2nd degree burns, but Marcella's body was burned beyond recognition. Her family still thinks she's missing due to the unidentifiable remains.
We welcome: Euphemia Meowtron, Sentinel
Full Name: Euphemia Meowtron
Age: 17
Date of Death: 9 August, 2012 o-o
Height: 1,79m
Personality: Psycho. 75% Yandere, 25% Tsundere. Is PROBABLY bisexual, since she likes both Yuri and Yaoi. (Otaku, obviously)
Appearance: Red hair (dyed). She never ties her hair (PE -> pigtails) 'cause she likes the "dangerous, delinquent look". She usually wears a leather jacket and listens to music on her headphones.
Likes: GURU-CHAAAN~!! Animanga. Games. Beating up people (that she doesn't like). Putting people (that she likes) in cages.
Dislikes: Boku no Pico (do I need to give a reason for that? =3=), Crows (she was attacked by one when she was 13 and she had crowphobia since then...)
Family/Friends: She has an older sister (19) which she didn't like. They used to fight all the time. She lives with her sister and her dad... Her mom died when she was 7 in a car accident.
She has 2 friends, Rikka and Haru. Rikka is her cute classmate that has black hair and always wears pigtails... In other words, she is a loli. And Haru is a 19 year old boy that is a total perv. Euphemia was in love with Haru, but she never had the courage to confess to him.
How Did You Die: Got eaten by a cat while trying to put it in a cage. 'Cause she liked it. Or maybe because she wanted Bassy to come...
