Hello all, a while ago, I came up with some Kinmoku Star System headcanons and after reading this fanfiction set on Kinmoku, I think it's about time I release them and put them up for adoption and allow the new owner to expand on them instead of letting them exist in my head and gather dust since I already have so much Solar System characters to develop for my fanon let alone developing this star system.
Note: My headcanons lean towards the information that we are given on the Kinmoku planet / Kinmoku star system in the manga. Update: My headcanons have been adopted by the fic author herself, MagicUnbound!
It's confusing but in the manga, Princess Kakyuu and the Sailor Starlights both originate from a planet called Kinmoku in the Kinmoku star system.
Tuxedo Unmasked has stated that Sailor Kakyuu draws her power from the Kinmoku star and Curious-Insanity has headcanoned that Kakyuu is the Sailor Guardian of the sun of the Kinmoku Star System. So, in accordance with that, I headcanon that "Kakyuu" is the secondary name of the Kinmoku star which is the sun of the star system and what Princess Kakyuu and her Senshi form's name derive from. She is also the princess of the Kinmoku planet so I headcanoned that her mother had the Sailor Crystal of the Kinmoku / Kakyuu star which she inherited while her father had the Sailor Crystal of the Kinmoku planet.
The Sailor Starlights always introduce themselves as shooting stars so I headcanon that those celestial objects are where they derive their power from. Their senshi names are abbreviated forms of the names used to refer to the comets that they draw power from. "Star of War" - Star Fighter (In xianxia dramas, they often mention a "God of War"), "Star of Creation" - Star Maker, "Star of Healing" - Star Healer.
Xianxia dramas always talk about the "Three Realms" which are the human realm, the heavenly realm, and the Underworld / demonic realm. In accordance with that, the Kinmoku star system has three planets: Kinmoku - the equivalent of Earth / the human realm, Ginmoku "silver osmanthus" - the equivalent of the heavenly realm, and Mazokumoku (name can be altered by the new owner of the Kinmoku Star System headcanons as I was trying to go for the literal meaning of "devilwood" but "Akumamoku" just didn't sound right to me.) The equivalent of the demonic realm. However, it doesn't mean that there can't be Sailor Crystal holders of moons, stars, and comets in the Kinmoku star system! On that note, the male equivalent of a Sailor Starlight is a Star Knight. Kinmoku Culture (I have read part of Bride of the Water God which describes the male protagonist having to crossdress at a young age and since Naoko probably based the Sailor Starlights on the band called "Starbow" which is of unknown gender, this headcanon explains why the Sailor Starlights are comfortable with crossdressing.) From a young age, people of Kinmoku crossdress to obtain the virtue of the other sex. For instance, boys would crossdress as girls at a young age so that they would be obedient while girls would crossdress as boys to grow up strong. Since their people worship the stars, divination is a valued skill on the planet. For Sailor Crystal holders, their Sailor Crystals allow them to tap into the art of divination as they are powerful parts of the universe. Taiki aka Sailor Star Maker came from a scholar family. Seiya aka Sailor Star Fighter came from a family of warriors. Yaten aka Sailor Star Healer came from a family of physicians. Whoever messages me first to adopt these headcanons will be the new rightful owner of them. All I ask is that you give rightful credit where credit is due. 😉 Have fun developing the Kinmoku star system and expanding on these headcanons! I hope to see a fan senshi website for the Kinmoku star system and to affiliate with them one day! ⭐
