The Scenario
Do all gaurdians have the basic powers like flight and strength, or were those examples?

As for my character, this one is a pre-made godlike being that I'm going to try to fit into the setting; let me know if he's too strong or different and I can adjust.

Name: Memory

Gender: N/A, referred to as male.

Alignment: Neutral, with good tendencies. Will defend itself and its charges, but typically prefers not to get involved.

Unique Power: Legacy; The ability to collect the psionic remains of a dead creature. Knowledge and power can be gleaned from what the creature once was in life, absorbing them. The psychic echoes of the creature may be used to "ressurect" them in a sense, creating a new body for the remnants of their mind to inhabit, including any items that were important to the creature in life. It should be noted that it is not the original creature, but the imprint that their psyche left on the universe, a recording of them up to their death, though there is little practical difference.

This ability only works on mortal creatures, and explicitly excludes Guardians. Memory may use it to summon a ghostly or physical army, gain the knowledge and power of the dead, or bolster his mental abilities. Memory himself is a Legacy, and as such is difficult to attack directly, being a packet of psychic energy. Weapons and other physical objects pass through him harmlessly, but any creature with a mind may touch him, and time/space manipulations work normally.

Appearance: Memory appears slightly differently to anyone viewing him, as he is mostly an image in the mind. Most often, he appears as a large, heavyset humanoid shape, colored a pale pink and completely faceless. His body is made of up of small streams that look like ribbons, all twisted together in a loose braid, concentrated to the arms and legs, while loose threads stream wildly from the top of his head.

Memory has sometimes appeared as what most would recognize as Death: a skeletal form in a black cloak, carrying a scythe. The scythe is purely for show, however, and has no function. In addition to this form, Memory has taken shapes resembling many mythical spirit guides, such as a Valkyrie or Shinigami.


Personality: Patient, Defensive, Cautious.

Bio: Memory began as a Gaurdian with an unusual interest in the mortal races, and, indeed, all living things. He became fascinated by their natural cycles of death and birth, but realized that once dead, those life forms were gone forever, eventually forgotten by their kind, even in those cases where they had gained great prestige and recognition. So much was simply lost, never to be seen by those mortals again. Memory sought a way to preserve their cultures, their knowledge, their power, and took inspiration from so called "spirit guides" bringing the dead to paradise. Memory tracked down the barest traces a mind would leave behind once gone, hoping to preserve even the tiniest fragments. When it came time to ascend, Memory refused, diving further into his work to prevent going insane. He began to make breakthroughs in the preservation process, just in time for war to break out. Countless died, and Memory worked himself to destruction trying to keep up with the death toll, but he managed, barely, to preserve even himself, with the aid of his vast psychic abilities making the imprint easier to form. The Gaurdian ascended, but his Legacy remained.

Yes all guardians have the basic powers + a single unique power.

And I guess that's ok. I wouldn't go far to say that memory is 'ascended' as that would mean he is no longer a part of the universe, but the concept is fine.

The only thing i have an issue with is the

But I'll allow it for now. If it becomes a problem later I'll ask you to take that particular ability away.

In other words, character approved. stick out tongue

Noted. My intention with the 'ascended' thing was to say that original Gaurdian is gone, and Memory is his remains. Whether he's dead or actually ascended isn't really important, or I can change so he's still the original. Doesn't matter much.

And 'k, I'll try not to make the intangibility overpowered. Maybe it's a temporary state.

MadMel
Well with 3 people I probably could get started, but it's midnight over here, so I'll do it tomorrow.

Name: Gaea
Gender: Female
Alignment: Good
Unique Power: Plant Manipulation - Ability to control, manipulate or animate plant life.
Personality/Bio: Gaea is quiet and has a peaceful personality by nature. She is extremely loving and cares deeply about those she loves and is loyal to the other guardians. Amongst her other attributes she is regarded as beautiful and highly intelligent. However since the first war she has been very subdued. Spending more time alone, Keeping herself to her own company. This is merely a way of protecting herself from her emotions which are highly sensitive, and has a tendency to make her powers go awry and not work the way she would like. Gaea has been working on her training hard and also meditating on things to come. Some would view her has cold if they have never engaged in conversation with her before. Mainly because she has self taught herself ovetimenot to give anything away. Gaea betrothed died or presumed had in the first war, she has been blaming herself ever since. Underneath it all, she is quite insecure and that could reallymake her very vunerable indeed. Don't dismiss Gaea as weak though just like the other guardians she is very strong when she is in the right mindset. She is more determined than ever she will have vengeance for her beloved's death. Don't make her angry, Her vines won't love you for it.

MadMel
Approved. big grin

I'll start the rp soon.

To clarify - The unknown fleet is 100% organic.

Even their "spaceships" are just larger members of the alien race holding the smaller species in their stomachs, or whatever. stick out tongue

If any of you made that mistake, don't worry about it. Just continue as normal.

Name: Yukari
Gender: Female
Alignment: Good (was one of the Guardians that went insane)
Unique Power: stop are speed up molecules (think Piper from Charmed)
Personality: was once cheerful and happy but went insane with many other of her fellow guardians. After being cured of her insanity she realized what she had done and became depressed and shameful.
Bio: Yukari was one of the Guardians that went insane destroying whole planets and killing countless life forms before she was finally stopped by the other Guardians. After her brethren snapped her back to her senses she went in a deep depression and begged for death but the others refused and the only thing stopping her from throwing herself into a star was the chance that the Guardians might have use for her in the future. Yukari left the other Guardians only to return to help in the second war, she was met with glares and distrust and didn't blame them. After they defended against the Unknown Yukari again left to wonder the cosmos by herself when she stumbled on a young race of humanoids on a purple planet named Drarus. The Guardian took interest in the people and helped them when she could. She was happy there and watched as the people grew and flourished until the day she was called to defend against the unknown invaders once again.

MadMel
Approved. wink

I'll post soon guys.
Just doing my intro week of uni - Having so much fun! XD

Regelion1
Name: Baketsu

Gender: Male

Alignment: Good

Unique Power: Is able to spawn dragons. When spawning a dragon a lightning bolt strikes where he chooses to spawn the dragon.

Appearance:

http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w17/Demonking2/b6459415.jpg

Personality: outgoing, Flirtatious, easygoing, Smart, funny, Sarcastic, Positive, Negative, weird


Bio: Baketsu used a good amount of his life training his abilities and another good amount writing in a journal. Being immortal made him question life all around him. Baketsu was one of the few Guardians that did not become evil or insane. But he helped in battling and turning his fellow Guardians back to normal. He never really talked to many of the Guardians much but he liked them because he was easy going. The thing that makes him confused and made him write in his journal a lot was how his species is immortal and yet they can still die somehow. The complexity of this enigma amazes him and hopes to find an answer.
