I was thinking that the Starlights can each use a type of laser gun in their attacks, each using a different type of gun that shoots a different type of laser.

Fighter - A rifle-like laser gun
Maker - A machine-gun like laser gun
Healer - Twin pistol-like laser guns

Since all the other Soldiers have weapons, I thought it would be nice for the Starlights to have weapons as well. But since their outfits allow for faster movement, I thought guns would be more their speed.

Keep in mind that these laser guns make-way for some pretty sweet special attacks and scenes, and using guns (in my opinion) really makes them more guardian-like for Princess Kakyuu. (Think about how the president's guard detail uses guns.)

I should also add that they can summon their guns and teleport them away at will. They will still fight with their fists and legs at times.

That is all. ArtemisSit

I'm all for the girls using laser weapons, though the types of guns you've chosen don't really suit them, in my opinion.

Oh, yeah, Guns are good, kids! VenusPose

But seriously, I'm all for this idea, especially since the Starlights powers are technology based. It makes sense for them to have more alien like weapons.

I would give the two pistol to Yaten-kun though, just cause she will look better using her two hands. She's my favorite, okay?!

Plus, Taiki is tall enough for the machine gun.

Seiya can keep her riffle.

Hmm...I can't really see a senshi using a laser-type gun for a weapon. Or as Daio said, the types of guns don't really suit them.
So, if they have guns will the be shooting Serious lasers, Sensitive inferno's and Gentle uteruseseses (xD) from them? If so, I'm gonna have to say no. Keep the anime's Star Yell..They seem more ninja-esque in my opinion so melee fighting kind of suits them.

However, the guns would really highlight how serious they are about protecting Kakyuu so if you go for guns, I think Healer should definately be weilding double smaller firearms, Maker should have something large and rapid firing and Fighter should have something that packs a nice punch...Maybe like a type of sniper-rifle. Picturing them with guns is still kinda throwing me off though, in both a good and bad way..

I was trying to give them something that had different forms, and something that seems to suit their look, and guns immediately came to mind.

They won't be using their guns in their canon attacks, no worries there. The guns would just serve as their basic attack weapon.

Of course, I suppose we could always do laser-weapons. Lightsaber anyone?! XD

Oh...okay! lol I was worried about the guns bing used for their signiature techniques.

Okay, guns would definately suit them better than light sabers xD

Does anyone else see the gals as the ninja-type? Either with ninja/samurai type weapons or guns comes to mind when I think weapons for them.
High-tech samurai kunoichi!? xDD

oh yeah, I'm all for the guns but they do look ninja style.

And I can see Seiya using a lightsaber >_> He looks like he would be the Star Wars Fan of the group. I mean, she, but I keep typing he. Blame the anime.

It would be interesting if they had other weapons besides the guns for attacks. Again, aliens here, they should be loaded with tech. When inserted in a RPG format.

Mmmm......
well, I don't know.... they already have the Star yell....I think they can still use them for shooting laser attacks too.....
I can't see them using guns....maybe some other kind of laser weapons, something similar to Star Trek's laser swords (with a laser colour that match the soldier, example, light green for Healer)...

Posted Image

The laser saber definitely match Fighter, Maker can use something similar, maybe a double laser blade weapon/staff, and healer...mmm, a long range weapon, maybe a laser boomerang.

They are related to indian gods, Shiva etc....maybe it's better to make laser weapons someway related to these gods....

P.s. Shiva actually handle a trident, a weapon with a laser trident on top should be cool.

Edit: I've found some info:

Fighter is related to shiva who handle a trident.

Maker is related to Brahma

"He is shown as having four arms, with none holding a weapon, unlike most other Hindu Gods. One of his hands is shown holding a scepter in the form of a spoon, which is associated with the pouring of holy ghee or oil into a sacrificial pyre, indicating that Brahma is the lord of sacrifices. Another of his hands holds a water-pot (sometimes depicted as a coconut shell containing water). The significance of the water is that it is the initial, all-encompassing ether in which the first element of creation evolved. Brahma also holds a string of prayer beads that he uses to keep track of the Universe's time. He also is shown holding the Vedas, and sometimes, a lotus flower."

Maker can use a laser scepter...or maybe something related to other Brahma elements.

Healer is related to Vishnu

"The chakra, a sharp-spinning discus-like weapon, named "Sudarshana", held by the upper right hand, which symbolizes the purified spiritualized mind. The name Sudarshana is derived from two words - Su, which means good, superior, and Darshan, which means vision or Sight; together, it is "Superior Vision". The chakra represents destruction of one's ego in the awakening and realization of the souls original nature and god, burning away of spiritual ignorance and illusion, and developing the higher spiritual vision and insight to realize god."

Those are Star Wars. XD

I dunno, laser swords and things just seem kind of cliche to me.

A laser trident seems a little weird. ^^;

I've added more info to my previous posts....
well, maybe it's just me, but since SM's elements are all related to legends, gods etc, I think it's better to keep this...
even the star drum is related to Shiva:

"Drum: A small drum shaped like an hourglass is known as a damaru (Sanskrit: ḍamaru).[100][101] This is one of the attributes of Shiva in his famous dancing representation[102] known as Nataraja. A specific hand gesture (mudra) called ḍamaru-hasta (Sanskrit for "ḍamaru-hand") is used to hold the drum.[103] This drum is particularly used as an emblem by members of the Kāpālika sect.[104"

Really? I think it will be cool, just remove the regular blades to this one and add laser blades. :)

Just some suggestions ;)

Well, I don't think the weapon is weird itself, what I meant was it's a weird weapon for Sailor Star Fighter.

In respect to weapons being related to the gods the chacters somewhat represent, I understand what you're saying, but the Inner weapons don't really relate to the god/goddess the characters represent in all cases, so I don't think the Starlight weapons should have to necessarily relate.
