Senshi and Knights

In ages past, beyond reality itself, each planet within the Solar System boasted a pair of Guardians to protect their respective kingdoms. With the progeny of the original Senshi reborn in the past of an alernate world, the need for such Guardians has arisen once more. Although the elemental abilities associated with each Guardian were initially reserved by birthright, the very fabric of space and time of this new world was restructured by Pluto's progeny. This time, not all of the newfound Guardians survived their coming-of-age, resulting in the discovery of others in the world the power could manifest in. Called Potentials and Adepts, these people who resonate with the characteristics defined by each Guardian's role have the capability to manifest minor abilities, the nature of which depend on their planetary association.

Note: Any Guardian whose identity is Unknown is available to be played. Please submit an application if you are interested in playing that role. Any Guardian whose identity is suspected is an Adept, and any Guardian already identified has manifested. Both denote that the character role cannot be applied for presently.

Planetary Resonance
"I would venture to say we are the eventuality of a cosmic anomaly. There seems to be some sort of power encrypted within the code of the universe, and it seeks out specific individuals. Why or how I do not know, I only know that there are those of us who meet some unknown qualifications and thus can tap into this power. We are called Potentials. Among the scores of potentials who exist, ignorant to the talent they possess, there is only one Adept, the next in line to unlocking the secrets to accessing the power in greater quantities. Once the prerequisites for that transition is made, there is another level of ascension...the Knight and Scout."

-Saibane Hyanda

Scattered throughout the world, certain souls are born as candidates to inherit Guardianship, those who resonate with the same ideals of the associated planet. There are three levels one can be described as being, and while many characters may start as only one, they can and will move throughout the tiers. The levels of resonance are Potential, Adept, and Guardian.

Planetary Potentials
The lowest tier of resonance is that of the Potential, named such for the potential they hold to become a Guardian, should one become absent. At the basest level, many Potentials feel an affinity for their respective element. Potentials have, in some instances, manifested minor abilities associated with the planet, often unbidden. For instance, a Mercury Potential under stress, or simply overheated, might find the beverage they hold frosted. Using such abilities at will is certainly not unheard of, though it will be the most a Potential can ever aspire to without ascending.

Planetary Adepts
When a Guardian position becomes available, the Potential with the greatest resonance ascends to an Adept. As an Adept, they gain no additional abilities, but are designated to eventually manifest as a fully realized Guardian. An Adept may manifest for very brief instances in times of intense emotional distress, but such a forced Transformation is not only fleeting, but draining. Refer to the rules for using the third tier Transformation for the drawbacks of such a Transformation.

Planetary Guardians
Eventually, an Adept will manifest completely, usually when their power is needed the most. A familiarity will suffuse the Adept's being, and they will have an epiphany that reveals to them the intonation required to transform and adorn their rightful mantle of power. Once an ascension to Guardianship is complete, the individual gains 1 Glamour point to spend on Transformation. They may also access their powers based on their stat allocation. The story mostly revolves around the trials and tribulations of these characters.
