New Guardian Concept: Thoughts?

I find it funny that more and more people's characters could curb the gods of roughly 2/3 all fiction currently written. And that said characters have more peers than one can count on a lone hand.

Because of this, I propose a new Felarya Guardian. They would suffer from one limit, and one limit only: Their action must result in comedy. However, this comedy is unlimited in how it may be achieved. About to unleash a super-powerful, planet-cracking energy beam on Felarya? They'll step in the way to get an all-over tan (becoming ash in the process, but it'll be the cartoonish ash that one recovers from in time for the next scene). Whole Multiverse about to be destroyed? A pure white backdrop will appear, before a hole shows up and the Guardian pops out "all alone". After a brief moment of panic, they'll wake up - everything having been a dream - and things will be back to normal: Except the Guardian running around showing random signs of affection to living beings and places (Such as them suddenly hugging a very grouchy Dridder mid-hunt, giving them a big kiss, and then capering off).

The Guardian's one weakness would be anything that cannot be made into comedy. The Guardian coming into contact with such would cause both it - and said comedy-impossible object - to instantly go out of existence.

Yes, I realize that this is a major step back into making Felarya a serious realm. However, I feel it may be necessary with the growing scale of power of its denizens. It's gone from "Fantasy" to "High Fantasy" to - right now - "Home of Multiversal-threatening beings in large quantities."

That was probably mostly my fault, I brought it up with Balthus and the Void thing.

But to be fair, the way I had him written was to have him that powerful only temporarily, and not have him inflicting damage that he couldn't undo by the end.

And Whiteagle is VERY killable... just not a wise move to ingest him...

I like this. And I think it could be Felaryan, in a way. The guardian should be a very cute girl who isn't even aware of the term Guardian. This would fit with Karbo's liking for incredibly powerful and deadly things being very cute and innocent looking. Heck, if it wouldn't ruin the story, I'd nominate Crisis for this position.

NO!
It must be a near chibi-proportioned girl... with glasses... who is super Moe on TOP of being a Dojikko...


So Crisis must have something happen to her to create a clone matching these specs!

I am usually not big on adding depth to guardians but this is a funny and original idea
* imagine a character like a chibi-milefeuille running around* XD

Yeah, something ridiculously cute and clumsy, who is ignorant of alot of things.

like a kitty.

You aren't to blame, Eagle and Darkstorm. While powerful, you both admit to such. I'm more concerned about those that think their characters capable of similar "aren't that tough".

Glad you like this idea, though. Any ideas on a name for 'her' (since that seems to be the general preference of the people as to the Guardian's gender)?

Appearance could include horrible disguises that we (the readers) can recognize through, but that those in the story may not (at least until it would be humorous for her cover to be blown).

Seems like a wascally wabbit. Could an unassuming bunny-girl be in order?

Bugs bunny was always very good at disguises. The bunny ears should be a givaway every time...

I was thinking about someone like Bobobo-Bo Bo-Bobobo or just Bobobo from the same Manga with the same name or the character of Guu from the anime Hare+Guu

A Guardian with Wiggin' Powers?



"Hajike (ハジケ): This word is taken from the Japanese verb hajikeru (弾ける), which means "to burst open" or, in more appropriate terms, "to wig out or go crazy" the ability to "hajike" (or dub terms, Wig Out)"

I like this idea. I don't really know what else to add.

Just make sure they can't overpower the guardians, because I can think of a few ways it can be accomplished in a humerous way.

*imagines Nemyra stepping on a massive banana peel*

Their point would mostly be - like other Guardians - to keep things intact. The tripping of Nemrya may be done if it can be achieved humorously (or better yet, to cause a chain of funny events), but it wouldn't be done if it would cause a notable change in the status quo of things (unless said thing is going to be resolved at a later time with no damage actually being done, and even more humor being caused by said upheaval).

He he!

I don't think this new Guardian should actually be aware that they ARE a Guardian.
If she was aware of what she was and her method for keeping the status quo, she'd come off as something doing it for 'teh lulz'...
Having meet quite a few people on my net travels like this, I can tell you this gets really old REALLY fast.
However, if she believed she was someone who was cursed to randomly teleport around and be so clumsy as to cause Ruth-Goldberg style accidents, she could be more accessible as a Character and be incredibly more Moe.
The "Curse" could also include the ability to change her into an appropriate race for the situation; meaning one day she could be a Neko, the next a Giant Naga.

It would be funny if she wasn't aware...but I also like her doing some "jobs" to fix Felarya, even if she ends up doing it in an entirely different manner. I think she should be unawares, however, of what the implications of being a Guardian are, or how important her job actually is. She knows she should be "saving" the planet, but her idea of that would be focusing on something minor that attracts her attention.

Shape changing maybe...though a naga with bunny ears would be funny. There should be one trait that she can't get rid of, no matter how she transforms. (Maybe the glasses)

gah I just love this idea of a non-aware and non-serious guardian

Yeah...I think she should know she is a "Guardian" but her idea of that is to go and promote recycling in Negav, or save kitties from trees, or organize mermaids into doing beach cleanups. In the course of which she accidently prevents much larger problems...

So a Guardian that actually does good?

Well, for Felarya as a whole. They wouldn't be biased towards a prey or pred point of view.

The problem with that is at first she'll do ok, but after awhile she'll just sound preachy.
People don't want to listen to a preachy, no-body ditz that causes everything to devolve into comedy act.
She would then have to "Invoke" her authority as a Guardian, which would cause her all sorts of problems.
Malahite's original ideas was for a being who'd essentially be cosmic comic relief, but such a task could probably be done by any of the existing Guardians if necessary.
You yourself suggested she not be aware of what she is, and I latched onto that because it makes her more accessible as a Character instead of a shadowy, unknown force like the rest of the Guardians.
She wouldn't be the "Comedian" Guardian; she'd be little ____-chan, the poor girl who the scary man in the robe is angry at (How was she suppose to know he was finishing his greatest spell when she popped in? And who puts a Banana Cream Pie on a board like that anyways?).
This could also allow her to have more then her "Mortal Moe Blob" form...

Maybe a "Sexy Divine Librarian" one as well?

That's the idea. No one else would take her seriously, seeing her as just an annoying, but strangly difficult to kill clutz. Most people I suppose would be trying to reject her help. But she still somehow manages to save the world through random coincidence. I just think if she was trying to help in her own way, it would give her a better prescence on the world, instead of just sitting round the house waiting for something terrible to happen.
