erm, is there a way to be some sort of steampunky guy, i.e. a Guardian of Technology or something?

basically I'd see it as a master of research and innovation, and overseeing a metropolis that would be created by the inhabitants of the planet.
((That'd probably be my opposite, or counterpart or something, like water and fire))

A sudden chill befalls the planet, and all living beings are momentarily distracted as their breaths suddenly become visible to the naked eye.

The chill, though colder than many may have known for some time, also brings about a rather merry feeling to those who behold it, when a massive beam of cyan light erupts from the lake. Almost immediately after it dissipates, dark clouds form over head, and flurries of snow begin to fall upon the sunbaked planet.

Catcocomics the frost phoenix has reawakened.
NO! @Catcocomics wait D: Me and caffeinatedkitty have been RPing about finding you in the hole. Please can you remove that and wait 'till the next morning 'till i post the logs?

((Just to be clear, I, as a Guardian of Magic, also promote knowledge, innovation and technology, just a different type of technology. Machinery has set limits and rules, but it always gets the job done as promised. Magic on the other hand is, in theory, limitless, but it relies on chance, and the bigger and more complex the magic gets, the smaller the chance of succeeding gets.))

ok..


GUARDIAN OF PROGRESS

I, lord *insert cool steampunky name when I think of one*, shall oversee the construction of the floating city (is that allowed?) of New Tottenheim (or Tot for short), where I shall replace our planet's primitive nature with the technology of tomorrow!
((I dunno about steampunk...or floating...but establishing a city, sure! ^-^ ))

((You know, I actually planned on adding that role in the role list, but I decided against it, thinking to wait until the the planet has progressed at least a little bit.))

Cyra, the Guardian of Life, and the boyish man continued walking towards the other group. The Guardian of Life continues to sleep.
"Hey, whatever-your-name-is, how do you think the Guardian of Life will impact the development of this world?" Cyra asked the boyish man quietly to not wake the Guardian of Life. "Seeing that she's shy and doesn't want to do anything impacting. Well maybe she will. But right now, she's not going to."

He adjusted the white tailed girl slightly. "She impacts this world just by being here. If I'm correct she's the first one to appear on a new world," he stepped carefully over some rocks. "All Guardians will be able to bring things into creation because she is here. I don't exactly know the specifics of her powers with creating or giving Life. I know that none of this would be possible if she wasn't here though."

"Is it possible for her power to be used... in a bad way?" Cyra asked quietly. "People always thought life is good and death is bad. But there are times when life's powers are used in a corrupt way. Corrupted life can be dangerous and harmful to the creatures affected. It has happened in the past." How she knew this, Cyra had no idea.

"We all have the chance that our abilities could be used incorrectly," he replied normally. Currently right now the question did not bother him. He could feel her eagerness to learn and wanted to reciprocate that. "I don't know specifically about Life. Only way I could think her powers would be used wrong is if she was used to continue Life when it was supposed to stop. Or if she refused to bring life into this world or she died. That would be catastrophic at the beginning of the world."

"The line between life and death is blurry. What is a being without life? Or death? Is that creature truly alive? I think, whether she wants to or not, she'll have to work together with the Guardian of Death. Maybe even the Guardians of the Afterlife, if those do exist. In fact, all the Guardians are connected. Every Guardian can influence another." Cyra turned to look at the other group and smiled to herself.

"Maybe," he replied, "I'm not sure." He started thinking about the other Guardians. The black haired man wondered if they would have lost as many memories as these two. Life didn't even know what her's was exactly and she was acting like a completely new Guardian. Which wasn't possible because Life herself has always been. He wanted to learn the brown haired girl's aspect but didn't want to be abrupt about it. Perhaps there was a more subtle way to ask. "What do you think the other Guardians will think of us?"

"Uh, judging by impressions? They'll probably think I'm an asshole, Life is a bit clueless about herself, and you're an observant optimistic person." Cyra replied casually, not going into much detail.

((But why is he even here, if you're directing his actions?))
I'm not directing his actions. I'm asking him to stall his post 'till me and Caff are done RPing (Or at least getting out of the hole before itmakes no sense...

I'll eat breakfast and then transcribe the logs. Here's s quick spoiler for ya: We founf Catco in an ice shell. We deduced tere would be a fire guardian and we're now planning in finding him))

Notice: Large Postzilla!
Guardian of Light & Guardian of Flight
The guardian opens his eyes and sits up. His head is spinning "Ugh. I didn't sleep well"

Alouette sees the light return and opens her eys. "I was hoping you'd be able to."

He sits against the rock again "Oh. You're still here" he looks at the floor and murmurs "So it wasn't a dream"

The guardian shrugs „I don’t really have anywhere else to go.”

He yawns "You should head west." he points to the west "That's where i was headed before you saved me. Apparently there are others there"

"I was... Kinda afraid I'd find something not-so-nice." She smiles ruefully. "Safety in numbers, after all!"

"Well. You can stick with me if you want to." he stretches and looks into the hole "I was planning on going down there"

"Down THERE?!" She stares down into it. "Who knows what's down there..."

He chuckles. "I know. There's a person down there. Coated in an ice shell. Not sure if you saw it but... I need to go and take a look.”

"If there's someone down there, we should probably help them." She thinks about it for a second. "I didn't see anyone... But I wasn't really focused on finding other people."

He chuckles "You mean you were focused on me?" He says teasing her

She makes a face. "You were the one falling."

He laughs "Don't make that face. I was just kidding" he stands up and moves around his torso "I think i can walk and climb again… Down at least.”

She smiles. "That's good!" She stands and pokes him in the shoulder. "This way I won't have to carry you everywhere."

He smiles "So if i break something you carry me?"

She laughs. "I don't see how else you're going to get around."

He looks down "Yeah. I can climb this." he says. Putting his foot on a small stone sticking out

She steps after him. "Don't fall!"

Suddenly the guardian quickly falls downwards "SHIT!"

'Again?!’ She think. She steps off the edge and falls after him, this time catching him by the back of his shirt. "You really do need to watch where you're walking."

He's laughing at Alouette. His feet are still on the rocks and he's still holding on "You fell for it" he says. Laughing, Not in an insulting. But in a friendly and joking way.

"You meanie." She glares at him, but she can't hold it- she laughs. "Don't Do th-that!"

"Hey. You're not mad. You're laughing" he says
He smiles "You're worried about me, Aren't you?" he says while climbing down slowly. Hiding his pain from his still-damaged ribs


"How do I know you won't fall again like you did the first time?" She looks down at her feet, holding her wings out for balance as she steps from ledge to ledge.

"If i fall you'll save me, I'm sure"
"It's getting dark. Still got the light orb?" he coughs


„Of course I will. And of course I've still got it." She opens a small bag at her hip and slips her hand in. It seems to glow.

He smiles and he murmurs "Thanks." as he climbs down
When they reach the bottom. Light lets go of the wall and lands on the ground. He holds his palm up and an orb of light; Almost double the size of Alouette's appears.
He sees the ice shell with a person inside „What's this?"


Alouette hops down a second after he does, her landing soundless. "Ice. And... A person?" She looks hard at the ice, studying the figure inside.

"I did see it after all." he pokes the ice "Damn. It's cold. And i mean. COLD. Not just like your regular freezer ice."

"Maybe he's like us... And he's got wings, like me." She says, holding her hands behind her back. "But he looks... Different."

He studies the ice closely "I don' think we can carve this guy out anytime soon. Wait.. This isn't a guardian..." his eyes widen "The frost phoenix!"

"Frost phoenix...?" She looks at him again. There's a faint idea of what a phoenix is in the back of her mind... "That's probably why the ice is so cold."

"Yes. A frost phoenix. I remember some sort of legend. I think it went like this.”

Throughout the vast cosmos, legends speak of a race born from the natural destruction of stars; They are most commonly reffered to as Phoenixes, despite human appearance. The frost phoenix is of this magical race of both arcane and elemental powers. As a frost phoenix, one of the eight primary elemental paths of magic, This phoenix has a large variety of Ice-based abilities, as well as simple traits of his species.

"Phoenixes have no need to breathe. Also, This hole seems a lot like an impact crater as something from space his"

Alouette looks up at the sky and then around at the crater. "Maybe that is what happened. He hit before he realized he was going to."

"Perhaps." "Now. I don't think we can carve him out with bare hands..." He starts thinking "I think... This other guy i was walking with mentioned that every guardian has an opposite. I noticed a big flood of water in the distance when i set off a light flare... That means there must be a water guardian. Considering that's true. There might be an opposite: A fire guardian. And if a fire guardian does exist. He can carve him out!”
He then looks at the ice shell again "But That's just a theory. Maybe this guy isn't a frost phoenix. However i am damn confident he is"


"That probably would work. Fire would melt ice, no matter how cold, I think." She smiles. "But I get a feeling there's something bad about fire... I can't remember exactly what, though."

He chuckles "Like it burning your wings off?"

She shudders, drawing her wings in close. "Something worse. It happened to all of us..."

„Was it while i was asleep?" He looks worried

"No, it was.. Before. On another planet, I think." She tries to remember what happened, but she can't quite think of it.

He coughs „It’s getting a bit dark and claustrophobic down here. Let's go back up and talk there"

Alouette looks up at the sky. "That might be a good idea." She always did like to be out in the open instead of being walled in...

He walks to the wall of the cave and grabs a rock when his face pulls together in pain "Shit. My injuries are acting up again”

"I thought you healed while you were sleeping!" Alouette looks at him worriedly.

„The pain stopped... Mostly. Guess it's back now when i put strength to my arms" he lets go and sits down again.

She walks over to him. "Did you forget I can still get you out?"

He looks at her smiling "You want to carry me?"

She crosses her arms. "Seeing as you can't climb right now, how else do you expect to get out?" She raises her eyebrows.

"How will you pick me up?"

"I caught you by your arms last time, but that was a shorter distance..." She looks up and then back down.

"Hmm. can i ride your back?" he chuckles

That might work..." She smiles. "A little awkward, but it'll work."

"Good then" he stands behind her "ready?"

She spreads her wings. "Yes."

He slides up his sweaters' sleeves to prevent them from irritating her skin. He locks his arms around her neck and says "Okay. I'm gonna pull my legs up. Try grabbing hold of them" he them counts down. And at 0 he bends his legs up

She grabs his legs at the knees, stumbling a little under his weight. "Are you ready?" She asks, looking back over her shoulder.

"Ready when you are"

She takes a few quick steps and leaps into the air, flying in slow circles to avoid the sides of the hole. It seems to be only a moment before they're back in open air and she lands, as gently as always.

„Hahah! That was amazing!" he laughs still on her back. "You're an amazing flyer!"

"Flying is awesome. And it comes with practice-a lot of it." She smiles widely, her shoulders shaking in a silent laugh, and she lets go of his legs.

He lands on the ground "Well the practice paid off" he stares into the distance for a moment before noticing his arms are still around her neck "O-Oh um. Sorry" he says quickly retracting his arms

"I-it's alright." She says hurriedly, surprised. She looks back over the pit, restlessly brushing nonexistent dust from her skirt.

„I guess we should find that fire guardian…”

Every so often while tending to Fauna, Ross would glance over his shoulder to keep track of the positions of the other guardians. Yes, that's what they were, Guardians....all of them, including Ross. And then it him- He was a guardian. It wasn't until then that he realized that everyone that had arrived had a role to play.

Once Fauna had been stabilized, and Ross himself had cooled off from the heat spike of the fire guardian's arrival, Ross thought it a good idea to meet some of the other guardians....while avoiding the Guardian of Fire whenever possible, he didn't want the others thinking he was a hotheaded freak....

Ross had seen in his fleeting glances two guardians entering and leaving the crater. He recognized one as the Guardian of Light, but hadn't seen the other. "Well...I'm going to be meeting most of the others sooner or later, I may as well start with them....and ask what they know about the being in the crater...."

Ross cautiously approaches the duo. "Hey, I'm Ross, the Guardian of Water....I recognize you as the Guardian of Light..." Ross turns toward the unidentified female, "and you are?"
