ANUBIS, ANUBIS EV'RYWHERE, AND
NOT A ONE TO FWEE
There are five SailorAnubis on the
web. Narky, Shino Onika created by Talon (a friend of mine) SailorJackle's
Anubis, one posted on demented inc, and a random one. the last one is Saishuu,
created by a girl called W. Washuu
On November 11 2002, I had been contacted
by one W.Washuu, who found me on sailormoonfanart.com. she emailed me with
the following. . .

I looked about SMFA.com for her,
and indeed I found her. The two Anubii (My pet name for More then one anubis)
looked frighteningly simmilar in my oppinion.
Washuu's Anubis mentioned it was
a revamped Sailor Anubis.
the one by washuu said something
bout feathers. . . The
Demented.Inc Sailor Anubis also has feathers. . so I considered the
fact that The D.inc one was the Pre-revamped Saishuu.
Here
is the picture of Saishuu I found. it was uploaded on 2002-10-08.
This image on Washuu's anubis was
uploaded onto sailormoonfanart.com on 2002-10-04, as this picture
shows
Note the black body suit, purple,
messy hair, long bits in the front. notice also, the similar colour schemes.
II emailed her with the following,
remaining civil, and polite. The email is as follows:
I'm glad you show interest in
my SailorAnubis.
Im curious, how long ago did you
revamp your anubis? ive seen another anubii (my pet term for multiple Anubis's)
and theres similarities, Im wondering if you could provide a picture of
non-revamped Anubis?
Have you just found narky recently?
how long have you had your Anubis on the web? oh, and how old are you and
how long have you been drawing? what gave you the idea for sailor anubis?
dont take this personal, I ask
this of All Anubii I find. however, untill you speak with me, no I dont
give you permission to draw that picture
feel free to AIM me at anarchicQ
or msn me at Q_slash@hotmail.com

Hum, I think I revamped my Anubis a few months ago for a SM RPG.
I felt like giving her a different fuku and such...her original
one was so...white! @_@;
I think there's a picture of my original Anubis in the fanart...probly
pretty far back. She looked quite a bit different then she does
now, save the fact her hair is still *slightly* similar.
Eh heh. I dunno, I think I original made her a while back...*checks the
date on
the original bio* April 2nd, 2002. ^^; She's not very old...
I'll send you an image of what she originally looked like...though its
an
OLD image.
On the web? I created her to be in an RPG that one of my friends
owned, along with a Sailor Seth. *blinks* Narky? Naniiii?
I'm 16 years old, going to be 17 in a few months ^_^
I think I started drawing when I was 13...or about the time Episode 1 came
out (I Know this because it triggered my drawing fettish).
However, my CGing/Editing has only been for a few months, and sprite
editing is nearly a year. La, does that help? ^^;
I made Anubis to go along with my Sailor Seth for a SM RPG
I was in. I have an instrest in Egyptian mythologiy, and desided to
make them. ^w^
Eh, I dont mind. I'm used to getting asked questions, and
stuff @_@ I understand if you wont give permission yet...and if ya still
dont, meh- oh well. ^_^; I dont have MSN messanger,
but i have AIM- EvilHotaruSATURN.
Ja!
W.Washuu
The only changes to Saishuu, was
the fact the fuku use to be white, and she also used to have long hair.
I got a hold of her on AIM and we
spoke
AnarchicQ: helllo there
EvilHotaruSATURN: Yo
EvilHotaruSATURN: oO Can you read
my font?
AnarchicQ: yes.
*just woke up, so she mightbe a
little. . .tactless*
did you ever see my sailoranubis
(Narky) before you made yours?
EvilHotaruSATURN: Nope, not until
you started uploading images of her a few days ago.
AnarchicQ: and have you ever seen
this
sailoranubis? whom also has a feather?
EvilHotaruSATURN: I've actually
only seen one other besides yours....at a place where I do requested Senshi.
EvilHotaruSATURN: So, nope ^^;
AnarchicQ: can you show me? *headtilts*
EvilHotaruSATURN: hang on..
EvilHotaruSATURN: It's actually
a newer one...I didnt do it, though. Another person did...this
is it
AnarchicQ: *looks it over . . .sliiiight
nod* . . .
EvilHotaruSATURN: *blinks* What?
^^;
AnarchicQ: as i said. just woke
up. bad night last night.
EvilHotaruSATURN: Awww *pats head*
AnarchicQ: before you uploaded yer
anubis. . .by the way,, whats her real name? so we can get less confusion
. .. didnt you do a search, didnt you study other anubii?
AnarchicQ: and is she in any fics?
whats her stats. . .whats her disposition like?
AnarchicQ: whats her past?
EvilHotaruSATURN: her name is Saishuu
Hanji...I didnt search for any other Anubis' ^^; I'm alittle lazy about
searching for stuff. She hasnt been in any fanfics, at least not yet.
EvilHotaruSATURN: @_@ She's usually
calm and quiet, and is usually serios (Ack, I cant spell). She sometimes
loses her temper, and is kinda..nasty..when she does so. She's a little
anti-social...
AnarchicQ: *nodnod* reminds
me of another anubis i know. . .whats her powers, her henshine saying,
her henshine object. . .?
EvilHotaruSATURN: She has life stealing,
the ability to transfer energy from a willing target into a dying person,
judge souls, summon many sharp feathers to slash things, and change her
feather into a sword.
AnarchicQ: and how does she transorm
EvilHotaruSATURN: 'God of Death,
Make up!' Is her Henshin Yo, and uses her feather as henshin object. A
bunch of feathers form around her body, swirling around her. They suddenly
turn pitch black and form her fuku. The darkness shatters like glass as
she stands in her fuku
AnarchicQ: why did you decide to
revamp Saishuu?
EvilHotaruSATURN: I dunno, I felt
like she needed to have a really different fuku...and the fact she was
more of a darker senshi then a light one. ^^; I was also messing around
and found that she looked better with her hair cut short instead of long.
AnarchicQ: and thers no bio or stats
on saishuu anywehre online?
EvilHotaruSATURN: there is....in
the RPG I'm in ^^;
AnarchicQ: url?
EvilHotaruSATURN: I'm not very good
at HTML yet, and I idont feel a need to make bio's for a Senshi I probly
wont ever write a fanfiction about.
AnarchicQ: well, can i see
the bio?
EvilHotaruSATURN: Saishuu's
bio
AnarchicQ: *reads bio*
AnarchicQ: Ill be honest. I see
alot of similarities visually between saishuu and narky. so much so that
i feel you plagerized me
EvilHotaruSATURN: Eek ;_;
EvilHotaruSATURN: I'm sorry! I had
no idea of your Anubis...
AnarchicQ: however, the bio shows
very little similar. . .so since i cant prove shit all, theres nothing
i can do
EvilHotaruSATURN: ;;_;; I'm so sorry!
I had no idea!
AnarchicQ: ive had narky since 2000
have you seen her website?
EvilHotaruSATURN: Nope...
EvilHotaruSATURN: I HONTESTLY didnt
know anything about this!
EvilHotaruSATURN: ;_; please dont
think bad of me
AnarchicQ: Psychosis
AnarchicQ: incidentally, another
anubis says saishuu looks like a cross between hers and narky
EvilHotaruSATURN: Acck! I'm so sorry!!
<________> I had no idea about any other Anubis' that exsisted!!
EvilHotaruSATURN: I feel so bad
about all of this!
AnarchicQ: well, you could re-revamp
saishuu. . .
AnarchicQ: theres like 5 anubii
out there. Mine, Onika, Sailorjackles, yours, the one you showed me, and
the demnted inc one
AnarchicQ: the most well known being
mine and sailorjackles
EvilHotaruSATURN: ;_; which one
is hers?
AnarchicQ: gimme a sec
AnarchicQ: http://www.geocities.com/sailorjackal/AnubisProfile.html
EvilHotaruSATURN: *sighs* Do any
of them have the Devouror of Souls...?
AnarchicQ: no. but black/purple
Black/gold seem to be a running
theme.
lookit onika
my personal favorite anubis other then narky
EvilHotaruSATURN: Wow, pretty indepth
bio o_o
AnarchicQ: yes
EvilHotaruSATURN: *sighs* I'm still
really sorry about that ;_;
AnarchicQ: so. . .i ask, since youve
had your anubis the shortest span of time. . .and weve already webpages
ect (I just moved psychiosis Yesterday and i am NOT doing it again) what
are you going to do about this
EvilHotaruSATURN: *scratches back
of head* Like I said, she's only in an RPG I'm in....and I dont plan to
do any fanfiction about her. *sighs* Idont think the GM would be happy
if I changed her in th emiddle of RPing.
AnarchicQ: well, steer the plot
in a way that give saishuu a new form*is a GM*
EvilHotaruSATURN: ...*sniff* But
I love her so much...and I dont know what to do *puts face in hands* Damnit,
I wish I never brought it up to you!
AnarchicQ: no need for melodramatics,
i dont have much pateince for that. I'm curious. if Saishuu and narky faught,
whod win?
EvilHotaruSATURN: I'm sorry! I'm
so damn emotional..
EvilHotaruSATURN: I have no idea....*sniff*
sorry.....
AnarchicQ: hang on. AIM is scrwing
with me. brb
EvilHotaruSATURN: *sighs* ...she's
just an rpg character...and only in one...ugh, I just posted and I'm waiting
for a responce...
AnarchicQ: well, i assume youve
an emagination. do some reaserch, check out the other anubii, make sure
not to step on there toes, research anubis the god more (hes not the god
ofdeath, hes the god of mummification. theres a difference)
EvilHotaruSATURN: I cant exactly
say 'God of Mummification, Make up!' Which is why Ichanged it to 'Death'...its
the closest thing to him. She's known as the judgement Senshi, as Anubis
the God judges souls
AnarchicQ: god of rest. . .
anyways, im just throwing suggestions
out
stupid question cause apparently
you havent gone in depth waith saishuu but. . . .does she have a themesong?
EvilHotaruSATURN: -- No
AnarchicQ: Narky's is Danny elfman
- freeway main titles
EvilHotaruSATURN: She's a rpg character..why
would i need a theme song? oo;
AnarchicQ: im just asking
ive an rpg character...several...they
have themes
EvilHotaruSATURN: *facevault*
AnarchicQ: ....right.
*grabs sketchbook*
AnarchicQ: by the way. im a fan
of maturity
EvilHotaruSATURN: I'm a child at
heart....
AnarchicQ: we all are, but that
doesnt mean we cant have an adult conversation
*is 21 in case your wondering*
EvilHotaruSATURN: I've been trying
to....but my emotions are hard to control when I'm upset.
EvilHotaruSATURN: ...and your making
me feel even worse....
AnarchicQ: im a blunt girl
AnarchicQ: . . .
AnarchicQ: that was to break the
silence
EvilHotaruSATURN: >>;
AnarchicQ: you Do realize i could
be much meaner about this, right?
EvilHotaruSATURN: -- Yes.
AnarchicQ: have you ever freeform
rped?
At this point, we RPed breifly
AnarchicQ: (I have to ask. . .you
saw narky..what was your first impression of her?)
EvilHotaruSATURN: (I was like "Whoa!
That person is a good artist!)
EvilHotaruSATURN: (then 'strange
cowinky-dink?')
AnarchicQ: but the character. ..
what did you think aobut the desing)
EvilHotaruSATURN: (I like senshi
who have dark pasts and are different then the run-of-the-mill goody toe
shoes...like Narky. ^w^)
AnarchicQ: (yis. . .but. . .what
did you think bout the desing? think it was similar, that i ripped you
off? that it was just aa fluke? what?)
EvilHotaruSATURN: (I didnt think
you ripped me off, I was confused...mainly because I only have a few pictures
of Saishuu up. Then I was just like "Eh, just a cowincidence" 'specially
when one of my friends informed me it was an older chara)
EvilHotaruSATURN: (brb)
AnarchicQ: (howed yer friend know
bout this. you told her?)
EvilHotaruSATURN: (She's another
SMFA member....I forgot which one though)
EvilHotaruSATURN: (^^;; I'm scatterbrained)
AnarchicQ: . . . )'
EvilHotaruSATURN: (^^;;;;; sorry)
So, what do you all think? plagerizem,
or coincidence?
Have
anything to contribute?
