Starting Out
We will be following BESM 2nd Edition for the most part, except where it comes to senshi/knight, covenant, and neutral attributes and defects, which can be found in the BESM Sailor Moon RPG. If you have trouble finding or understanding any of these, don’t worry. The staff is friendly and willing to help you out.
Starting sailor senshi and guardians knights will get:
Starting guardian Animals will get:
Shitennou zodiac canons get more power to accommodate for their fewer numbers. They start at level 3.

Defects
You can add defects to increase the number of character points but these cannot be used on the attribute senshi/knight powers or negaverse/dark powers. Being a senshi or knight will give some automatic defects, which must be selected. Knights will take the senshi flaws rather than the ones listed in BESM Sailor Moon RPG. These do not give character points back, but are “free”. These automatic flaws can be found in BESM Sailor Moon RPG. They include.
Being a Covenant member, Zodiac or not, will give you the automatic defect Skeleton in the Closet at level 2 (BESM 2nd Edition). Being an animal guardian, will give you the automatic defect Servitude at level 1 (BESM Sailor Moon RPG) and Attack Restriction at level 1 (BESM Sailor Moon RPG).
