Quaoar

**Quaoar** is an Ascended Senshi.

## Information

Quaoar is introduced taking Usagi’s place after she was kidnapped by Orcus and taken to the other Ascended. Ami sensed the switch having set her computer to detect the energy signature Usagi gave off when she destroyed her star seed. Quaoar tried to play it off as nothing, but, seeing how her calmness at the situation, just confused Ami. She erased her memory of what happened and sent her back to her dorm room. While Quaoar got Usagi’s chatty, inattentive nature down, the inners noticed that something was off about her. They dismissed it, however, as her being upset about Seiya leaving and decided to wait to confront her. When the time came for Usagi’s fate to be decided Quaoar lured the Senshi to the park to help.

After convincing the senshi that she was on the level she transported them to the moon kingdom. Once within, the others found Usagi, suspended in the air and completely unresponsive. After the initial shock, they took in the rebuilt auditorium room they were in. Sensing her wandering attention, Quaoar introduced them to Rhadamanthus and Eris. The inners also became aware at that moment that Seiya was present, having been trapped there as well, prompting the Senshi to demand answers.

Ixion, who was also present, explained that Usagi was merely being held in a type of suspended animation, which Quaoar confirmed. As she introduced Varuna and Logos they focused on how much Ixion looked like Mamoru. Next Mamoru showed up having been brought by Orcus who was immediately told to withdraw her cloak. Quaoar once more ran through the introductions of the others for Mamoru. As one would expect, Ixion grabbed most of Mamoru's attention. However, other than a nod of greeting, the man said nothing.

Quaoar went into detail about the history of the Ascended Senshi as well as the rise and fall of Cosmos’ kingdom. From there the conversation moved to Sailor Moon. Quaoar showed them an image of Usagi’s star seed showing how different it was from the average senshi. The conclusion was obvious she was Cosmos reincarnated. While it wasn’t conclusive as they never saw Cosmos’s star seed, but that is what the Ascended believed. This is what led them to decide to create the moon kingdom leaving the normal senshi to their own devices.

Now that their theory had been confirmed they’ve returned to earth to decide what should be done with Usagi. Rei angrily demanded to know what that meant only to withdraw when Orcus called her out for not listening to their warning of Cosmos’ power. Rhadamanthus eventually ordered her to calm down. The fact remained they had serious concerns about weather or not Cosmos can control her power.  The senshi were invited, at Quaoar's request, to speak on behalf of Usagi but were told the actual decision was the ascended Senshi. While they didn’t have to like it, they all agreed to this when they chose to be reborn.

Finally Deucalion and Huya arrived so they could get started. Rhadamanthus began to recount recent events for all. There was little to dispute, until she got to Eris’ transgressions. Since that matter would be discussed only with the ascended Senshi she moved on. Finally came to the decision of what to do with Usagi. Do they let her go, keep her in the stasis field indefinitely, or terminate her before her power grows? Luna suggested that they just restore the stasis field if she does lost control. Rhadamanthus agreed that a conditional release was reasonable.

With no other proposal they began to discuss their options. The eliminated termination when it was pointed out that it would just kicks the can down the road a few years. Sealing or other removal of her power, as well conditional release, also proved impossible with their current limits.

Minako suggested that they just train her and Mamoru was quick to point out that permanent stasis was the same as termination, just delaying the inevitable. Unfortunately Huya pointed out that training would go against their rule about not getting involved.  Michiru tried to argue that they could restrict themselves from such, but Huya wasn’t willing to do that. As it started to seem like ultimately the Ascendant weren’t willing to risk the danger Usagi posed, Eris spoke up and called them out for being motivated solely by fear, noting how Usagi may not be the only such being and ultimately they may need her.

The discussion ended and those without a vote were told to wait in the courtyard. The ascended unanimously agreed to let Usagi go. They decreed that they will continue their pact of noninterference. Usagi must be allowed to discover her powers on her own. Them interfering could simply slow that process down, and potentially lead her astray. However, since the senshi were now aware of them, the block on contact was removed. All Ascended Senshi will be allowed to converse with them normally. They may not, however, use their powers to knowingly help or hinder any Senshi within this star system, save in their own self defense.

Because of Eris actions Rhadamanthus also effectively blocked their power while they were in this star system. She allowed Quaoar and Eris to temporarily use their powers to return the senshi home. She spoke briefly to Usagi, noting how the appearance of Sedna in the moon kingdom's depiction of her was 'too tall, too... bumby'. Quaoar had Eris take the senshi back to Nerima while she returned Mamoru to his university, much to Eris' annoyance.
