Just in time! This is my submission for the :iconsailorsenshi: Next Generation Contest II where we choose a Sailor Senshi or any other canon character and draw their children as Sailor Senshi or villains. Here I have designed a villainous character.

In a "What If" Scenario...while under her control, Queen Beryl seduced Mamoru for one night, and became pregnant with his child. This child was soon removed from Beryl during the night by Metalia so that Beryl would still serve her purpose, and the child was fostered in a womb of darkness. After Princess Serenity sealed away Metalia in Earth's present, the child was left to slowly grow and develop in a suspended state in Metalia's womb...In the future, when Serenity and Endymion re-awoke and began the founding of the Crystal Tokyo Kingdom, so too was this "child", now physically aged to 14 years from his stasis in the womb of darkness, and fostered with Metalia's powers and blessing in the heart of this dark prince of Earth. The Son of Endymion...Aetolus. During his development, Metalia filled his mind with the knowledge of the old kingdoms, and how the moon princess killed his mother, Beryl, and stole away his father. As the Heir to the Earth, inheritor of the Golden Crystal, and official first conceived child of Endymion, he will challenge the ruling for the throne of Crystal Tokyo, and Earth.

I wonder how Chibi-Usa would react if she discovered she had an older half-brother?
 Anyhoo, this literal bastard is based on that "what if" scenario, because...hey, Beryl was pretty sick in the head, and our classic pretty prince in distress was always susceptible to hypnotism and mind control. It must be rough being the ONLY prince in the entire solar system. XD

Now his son gets to carry on his burdens...maybe? Aetolus looks like he won't tolerate such nonsense and would probably use Beryl's crystal to blow away any temptress. Never really knowing his mother, the boy would probably hold some sentiment since Metalia would have told him about her death at the hands of the moon princess, so he wears one of Beryl's stones around his neck. He inherited her red hair, and he initially has his father's blue eyes in the light...but in the dark, a red glow can be seen emanating from his eyes. Another trait from his mother. Other than that, he has Endymion's face and hair style. His princely garb is a mix of Endymion's and the Shittenou, and a few accents from Beryl, like the shoulder spikes. The throne he sits on is also a union of the thrones of Beryl and Endymion from screen caps in Sailor Moon Crystal. Could he be a redeemable character? Maybe...?
I left the BG kinda basic because I didn't want to distract from Aetolus himself.

His name is actually the name of the youngest of the three sons of Endymion from Greek Myth, and he was the one who ended up taking his fahter's throne...after his elder brother died. Yes, this is in some Greek myths, Endymion had 3-wives, an affair with Selene (Moon) in his sleep, and had 50 daughters and three sons in his lifetime. So...Not QUITE so romantic as the Sailor Moon love story (Damn, now people will think Prince Endymion is a man whore...what have I done?!).

Anyhoo, into the contest he goes! Hope folks like this submission!
