Bases by Armundy.

Please be sure to take a look at the
species guide above for more information.---------------------------------------------------------Guardians are immortal, spiritual beings who act as intermediaries between a divine realm and the physical world. Their natural ability to shapeshift between forms make them well-adapted to any environment.ORIGIN OF EVIL
Some Guardians "fell" to become demons because of using their free will to reject the divine, transforming their nature into agents of chaos or temptation.

Guardians are an open species, which means you're welcome to get creative with your own characters, adoptables, and bases as long
as they follow the simple guidelines below.If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me.---------------------------------------------------------
