Black Yoshi
look at that PUNGENT KILLSTICK.
Thousands of years in the past, a warrior tribe existed. This tribe was said to have mastered a great power found within oneself. They managed to harness the power in their Souls' Guardians.
The Guardians both protect the soul from outside influence, and keep the soul within the body. Every Guardian has its own appearence, personality, style of combat. Most come simply in the form of adrenaline, however, this ancient tribe was fortunate in that their Guardians were very powerful, to the point of temporarily manifesting in the real world.
Over time, the tribe forgot how to access their Guardians. They spread out through modern society, and were mixed with the billions of other people in the world. However, that same powerful blood flows through you. Or does it?
15 subjects were taken for the study of adrenaline. Fortune had it that 12 of them were descended from the tribe. After the experiments proved how dangerous these tribesmen could be, a genocide was ordered on all who shared the tribal blood. Fear has driven the genocide to the point where all exceptionally talented fighters are being targeted, whether or not they have the blood.
You were deeply affected by this genocide. It may have been an attempt on your life, on your parent's life, or on a friend's. No matter the case, you have made the resolve to join the Soul Guard, a small guerilla force dedicated to fighting the genocide. Now is the time to strike back, before things get even more out of hand.

Explanation of the Guardians:
The first time someone meets their guardian is through deep meditation, traveling into the recesses of their own mind.
They are immensly powerful, even in the form of adrenaline. When one tames or has a mutual relationship with their Guardian, they may call on that power whenever they like. All Guardians, no matter their abilities, can dramatically enhance the strength, speed, and agility of their host. The amount of increase depends on the Guardian's own strength, and any added abilities. However, the Guardians have consequences. After superhuman movement, an inexperienced host often becomes exceptionally worn out, sometimes even passing out, or in rare cases, dying. The powers a Guardian provides could be nearly anything, from an incredible strength increase to invisibility or rock-hard skin.
A few Guardians may manifest themselves in the real world. Often, they take a rough shape of an animal, appearing to be made entirely of Aura, which varies greatly in color. Many times, though, the Guardian simply lends power to the host, in which case the host can have a change in hair, skin, or eye color/shape. Many times, there is a change in eye and hair color, while archaic symbols pattern the body. Eyes always change to the color of the Aura of the Guardian.
The Guardians possess their own world within the human body. Places like the Hall of Regrets or Pool of Memories(etc.) within the subconsious often lead to Guardian's domain, which could be a small, dank cave or a great marble throne room, a library, or even a stadium. Within these domains, they often take the form of humans, though they can be anything they wish. Most Guardians have no interest in taking over their host, but a few have become twisted by their host's own wrongdoing.
This affects their comprehension and appearence both. A pure person will have a wise, and kind Guardian, but very powerful. A wicked person's guardian will be just as powerful, but will instead be a vicious, mindless beast that only knows how to do as it's told. If not tamed, it simply attacks everything on sight.
Most Guardians must be tamed, meaning they face their hosts in single combat. This is not always the case, as some Guardians prefer mind games. The Guardian may kill the host, however this does not truly end the host's life. The host can simply never try a second time. If the Host wins by the Guardian's standards, the Guardian agrees to obey the host's will, and the two can then communicate regularly. Some Guardians do not even bother to be tamed, considering their host's arrival enough of a test, and agree on the spot.

Rules:
-PG-13. You can't handle it? Leave. Too bad.
-Grammar. Capitalize. Punctuate. Give an effort to spell correctly.
-Try not to be the guy with super short posts every other post. One or two long posts are much better.
-Use the enter key. Seperate paragraphs.
-Mary-sues will be spontaneously implaed by random flying staples. The end.
-Try to have a good time. Pretend like you like us.
-Sub-plots are wonderful things, but don't get in the way of the plot. If you want to drag a bunch of other people in, you need their permission, and mine.
-For now, just one character. Maybe two later on. Guardians do not count as characters.

Forms!
Name: (Herp-de-derpderpderp)
Gender: (You better know the difference.)
Age: (We start at 1. Go to 2. Then 3....)
Appearance: (Write something down. Pictures are much appreciated, but please write regardless.)
Story: (What happened to you with the genocide, mainly. Other stuff is nice, but the genocide is what we really focus on.)
Guardian: Optional (Describe your guardian. Their preferred appearance, their test they gave you, their personality, what abilities they grant you. All guardians can at least give a small boost to strength, speed, and/or agility. By "Optional," I mean that you don't have to have a relevant Guardian at all. If your Guardian does have anything special above adrenaline, you need to do this.)
Other: Anything you want to add? Relationships? Foreshadowing? No? Okay.

My Form:
Name: Cedrick McBride
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Appearance: His jaw is sqaure, eyes dull gray, and his hair very dark brown. He's a bit short, though not enough to notice or taunt him for. His muscles aren't huge, just well defined. He generally wears a simple white sleeveless under a dark green vest with frayed edges and jeans. He carries a steel hand-and-a-half longsword on a belt strapped to his torso, a gift from his former master. Picture without his face visible, and Guardian above him. Sword not included.
Story: A man stopped by, inquiring about the fighting habits of the McBride Family. After, he took a DNA sample from Cedrick's father, as his mother had died in a car accident several years before, and never returned. Several weeks later, Cedrick awoke to the sound of his 8-year-old sister screaming. By the time he got to her room, beat down the man who cut her throat, and checked her, she had died.
He found his father already dead. Cedrick was never a family man, but he didn't leave until he had buried his sister and father next to his mother. Though their graves were shallow, he felt they were at peace, or would be once he got the men responsible. He set out to find the Soul Guard, and has been with it for three months.
Guardian: Cedrick's Guardian prefers the form of a great sea snake, and is made of green aura. In his Human form, the Guardian has blown-back blonde hair, a scar on the left side of his mouth, and across his nose. His eyes are piercing blue, and have a bold black line bordering the iris. He wears nothing but an open trench coat, some simple dark-green pants, and leather boots. He carries three katanas on his back, and two more at his left side.
He believes in tough love, and constantly maintains a straight face through all his taunts and jests. His test for Cedrick, which Cedrick still hasn't completed, is a maze in which hundreds of Guardian copies wait for battle with Cedrick. They each have an equal portion of power from the original. Each time one is defeated, his power is divided evenly among all the remaining Guardians.
The Abilities this Guardian gives are similar to his test. He gives enough power so that, if Cedrick wishes, he may create up to three copies of himself, and divide his power evenly. The increase in power given by the guardian allows for four Cedricks to all be as strong as the original, however that is ill advised, as two more powerful Cedricks tend to be less confused than four weaker ones.
Other: My form was fairly long. Yours doesn't need to be so thorough, but don't half-ass your way through.
