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. . .

>W.Washuu

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?
