Guardians[edit]
You think I'm the most sane out of all of them? say that to my 5-billion year history. - Mason, the first guardian
Physical Description[edit]
They vary in almost every way imaginable. The more common the race in the universe, the more likely they will have a guardian outcast. Guardian is a trait achieved by either pure luck (perfect 50/50 split of elf and human blood, only 20 recorded in a 10 billion population check, across multiple universes) or by surviving magic spellcasting in a genetics alterable blood, or altering the genetics of a magic-based race. Very rarely do entire human races have this trait, but by 100's generations every power is gone. TL;DR they can be anything.
History[edit]
History is very confusing, but often it starts with Mason, who has lived since the dawn of time. He is a god or abomination to varying races and individuals, and if a guardian is aware of their background, often results to a favouring of him, and him looking upon them. History is never recorded as guardians are too far and few between, and more often than not commit suicide from insanity before they can achieve much.
Guardian Names[edit]
Names usually depend on the race they originate from.
