I'm thinking of continuing my Shieldsman fic into Crystal Tokyo, but I
have some questions:

1) What do we KNOW about CT?  Is it really a utopia or is that just
everyone's interpretation?

We know almost nothing except a few snatches from the second season and
occasional other references.  I tend to see it as a Utopia, like the
Silver Millenium, but for a good vision of a darker Crystal Tokyo (Well, a
more realistic one :)>, I suggest reading some of Chris Davies' work.



 > 2) What do we know about the rest of the world?

Basically nothing.
 

3) Is that immortailty/1000year life span thing cannon? Or is it just
everyone's interpretation?

It's canon.
 

4) Are the Senshi's positions in CT known beforehand or all we all just
guessing?

>From what little we see, they seem to still be acting as Usagi/Neo Queen
Serenity's bodyguards.
 

5) (kind of unrelated) Is it a fact that the Senshi's powers are drawn
from their planets?  Like was it 'said' somewhere?

It's all rather vague.
 

6) When was Chibi-Usa born?  How old was she when the Black Moon Family
invaded?

She was 8 when the BMF invaded, at least physically/mentally...as to
'real' age, I don't know.
 

7) Speaking of SMR, was everyone killed in CT/the whole world?

No, they weren't.  It wouldn't be a very happy ending if the Sailors were
the last people on Earth  :)

      It sought to scour him to ash, but he would not burn.  It tried to 
crush him, but he would not be broken.  It tried to blow him away, but he 
would not move.  He locked his mind around it and struck back with his 
anger, binding it with the power within himself.  He had gone beyond 
rage, into the calm at the heart of the hurricane of his anger.  By 
turning his anger outward, he mastered it, and now he did the same for 
the power.
