Welcome to Gaia! ::

There is only one Guardian. Normally there are two for every breed, and this situation is... unusual. To make things worse, the only remaining Guardian (Old Silverback) is very old, very depressed, and wants to die. He has made a bargain with Sitara: he will continue to fulfill his duties as a Guardian, but in return she needs to find new Guardians so that he can die. And she intends to do exactly that.

What's a Guardian?
Guardians are selected by a council of Guardian Ghosts, who are capable of revoking their power at any time, although this is rarely used. Guardians have stronger magic than any other dragon, and are capable of casting more powerful, longer lasting spells. (Ex. Old Silverback is capable of hatching six eggs at a time.) Their duties include:
-Casting spells to give children to gay or otherwise infertile couples (must be RPed)
-Settling disputes
-Maintaining the balance, however that may be

What's a Guardian Ghost?
A Guardian Ghost is a dead Guardian. Like Guardians, they are unusually powerful. They are capable of seeing clearly in the afterlife, tracing lifelines (they see it as a glowing web), and disturbing the dreams of non-ghost speakers. They almost never reincarnate, so some of them are very, very old. Their duties include:
-Selecting new Guardians
-Counseling those that died more, ah, traumatic deaths
-Helping dragons be reborn (must be RPed)

What's a Guardian candidate?
Right now it's just somebody Sitara (or Kailani'e) is watching closely. They appear to have what it takes to be a Guardian, but are they really the best choice? Guardian candidates can expect to have their dreams disturbed by these ghosts for "interviews." (Note: Sitara is a jerk, her interviews might not be pleasant.)

Personality She's a graceful creature and carries herself with a great deal of nobility but acts nothing of the sort. She's incredibly humble and soft spoken. If there's a dragon in need of advice she'll gladly provide them with some simple words of wisdom. In spite of her kindness, she can come off as a bit distant. Rarely does she show any great deal of emotion and even the comforting smiles she offers can feel a bit empty. She's also a bit of a wanderer and doesn't stay in one place for too long, preferring not to become too attached to others.

History Vadise's mother, along with her mate, were the leaders of a small, closely knit pack of mostly older dragons. They called themselves the Dragons of Wisdom and spent the majority of their time passing on their "wisdom" and offering assistance to younger dragons and packs. They gained a reputation of being very reliable and many dragons actually sought them out for their advice. One member in particular began to see this as a way to control the actions of the younger dragons. The others in the pack were strongly against this and Vadise's mother forbid him from doing such a thing. He didn't listen, of course, and eventually convinced a great number of younger dragons to follow his every command. He set them against his pack mates and many of them were severely injured, if not killed and Vadise's sibling was lost in the conflict. Those who could did their best to move the injured to safety while Vadise set about taking care of the traitor. In the dead of night she took two of her most trusted dragons and snuck into the traitor's camp and attacked him. Being strongly against killing others, regardless of the circumstances, they instead left him crippled and severely scarred. The majority of his followers realized the mistake they were making and left him with only a few loyals to command. With the traitor out of the way, the pack could concentrate on recovering their bodies and repairing their now tainted reputation. Unfortunately, while on the mend the Plague hit and all but a few individuals lost their lives to it, including Vadise's father. Feeling mostly responsible for the betrayal that left them so weak and the loss of her pack members, Vadise's mother began to wander the lands aimlessly, her daughter always at her side, and only interacting with other dragons when stumbling upon them while wandering. Eventually, the sorrow was too much and Vadise's mother died. At this point Vadise was able to care for herself, thankfully, and decided to make it her duty to continue to pass on wisdom as the pack she was once a part of did. However, she decided to avoid becoming attached to any other dragons out of the fear of losing them as she did the old pack.

Why do you think they'd make a good Guardian? While she wishes to keep herself from connecting with any other dragons, she still strongly wants to help those in need. She still feels immensely guilty for the fall of her pack and becoming a Guardian and helping others would slowly help to ease that guilt. She'd do anything and everything required of her as a Guardian because she has a great sense of duty and wouldn't want to see herself fail and fall into the same misery her mother did.
