OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION

  • Image Credit: Frozen II
  • Canon: N/A
  • Permissions: N/A
  • Links: Ahch-To (canon) Ahch-To (Chaos Canon)
GENERAL INFORMATION
  • Name: Guardians of Omean
  • Designation: Sentient
  • Origins:
  • Average Lifespan: 20,000 years
  • Estimated Population: Semi-Unique
  • Description: Comparable in size to a Gorax and native to the island housing the Temple of Omean.. the Guardians are living mountains that have veins of Blue Stone crystal which can be used and meditated upon for Stonepower a technique of the force. The bodies are massive and covered in moss or fungus that resembles hair.
PHYSICAL INFORMATION
  • Breathes: Type 1
  • Average Height of Adults: 6-30m
  • Average Length of Adults: N/A
  • Skin color: Rocky Grey
  • Hair color: Varied colored moss and fungus
  • Distinctions: Largely appearing mono gendered as the males are massive mountains while the females are Momokyun and live on or in the forests that can grow on them.
  • Races: A sub-species of Giant of living stone that have evolved on Ahch-To with the vergence of the force.
  • Force Sensitivity: High
Strengths:
  • Strong Hands: Large and powerful, they are generally stationary but can if the island is under attack rise up and defend it.
  • Tears of Chritin: Like mount sorrow the force has changed and given the Guardians a special quality... Their tears if you can manage to make them cry have special healing qualities on par with healing crystals of fire. While powerful the tears are not easy to acquire, getting water from a stone is next to impossible and believed only a single tear can be shed every hundred or so years.
  • Life Span: Their forebears were able to live for thousands of years in a form of suspended animation and they can do much the same leapfrogging through time but they are not immortal as their crystal hearts can be destroyed or stoneblood removed and mined. Once gone it can't be replaced making them have a finite amount of Blue Stone crystal that determines their life energies.
Weaknesses:
  • Slow Moving: Their massive size and weight make them super heavy... normally stationary they do not move around much unless there is generally good reason.
  • Force Nullification: They are unique within the force, their blood for lack of a better term resonates with it and can be connected to. Without the force around them it can stop resonating and send them into hibernation for long periods of time resembling and being essentially death.
  • Valuable Minerals: Their bodies hold large amounts of crystals, gemstones and ores... like a normal mountain but it is part of them and mining it can kill them.
CULTURE
  • Diet: Herbivore: Eating plants and absorbing the water from the ocean... the massive mountains can live for a long time with minimal food and can slip into a form of hibernation that allows them to sleep for thousands of years.
  • Communication: Telepathic Link to the more verbal Momokyun that can speak for them.
  • Technology level: N/A
  • Religion/Beliefs: The caretakers of Ahch-To regard the living mountains with awe and steer clear of them.. leaving offerings to them but avoiding living in places where they are. The different temples where they can be seen and where some have offered small amounts of their bodies to create the mateirals used... they use it with care as it is part of the beings and so to much being taken can kill them. Among the few jedi who come to the world they are often not seen unless they venture beyond the first jedi temple to the other islands and the few who have documented them regarded the grandeur of them.
  • General behavior: Slow and ponderous... they lack a form of speech that most species can understand and over the centuries on Ahch-To have developed a symbiotic relationship with the Momokyun in so far as they can produce a form of offspring with them in a way. They are usually in groups around the island of Omean where the jedi shadow have created a temple and they defend it from attacker who might be coming after the jedi on the world.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
There is not many records from the early days of Ahch-To, the repository that the caretakers created and hid away holding records and objects from each generation that has visited Ahch-To but what was going on and what might have been lost to time under the mountains of artifacts and other things they gathered. The Jadeite discovered a few references to them. The Omean were brought to the world to observe and study after their unique crystal blood was discovered by miners... its attunement to the force and being able to grant force abilities to non force users in a minor way was different and needed to be understood.

The small rock like beings were considerably smaller at the time and given their own home on an island near a force nexus that was believed to possibly help them develop... the lightside vergence not really doing what they thought it would but they were able to study them and with tinkering through use of the force alter them into a different species. Discovering what was essentially their hearts and how they somewhat functioned.... then altering it so that they would be a different species who sought to protect the temple on the island of Omean with other species that had been brought to the world and similarly experimented on.

The ancient jedi turning them from living mountains into stone guardians who would defend the temple and grow much like themselves being able to become islands and more mountain ranges on the water world. Since they didn't' easily drown and could handle most attacks there was a benefit to having living islands able to move around and defend themselves... while still being able to have a temple built upon them. The caretakers coming to regard them when they found them as elemental spirits on the world but they were not gods.. still they would bring them food and clean them from time to time if they knew where they were.

The Jadeite when they discovered the guardians while coming to the temple of Omean where the jedi shadows set up... first encountered them as a threat. It was a misunderstanding as they were there defending the temple with the smaller of them.. some inside and some of them in the forest around who were much larger. The coast line around them holding several of the massive mountains defend and block the coastline goign towards the interior of the island. Matsu having what stories could be found so that they could find a way to communicate with them and it was realized they shared a symbiotic relationship with the Momokyun.

THey set up monitoring stations and looking for means by which they could observe and expand on the information for other jedi coming to the world. Something that could be added to the Jadeite holocron and other information sources for various jedi groups who could and would be abel to come to the planet to visit the first jedi temple or some fo the other ones on the planet.

Nicely fleshed out overall! Just a few things to address before I approve this.

  • For Average Lifespan, under General Information, codex rules require a number. It's okay if no one knows how long the Guardians live in-character, but please fill out an average number of years for the template as OOC knowledge, even if it's a huge number. Star Wars recorded history only goes back so far, so if their average lifespan is 50,000 or 100,000 years they might as well be immortal.

  • For Average Height of Adults, under Physical Information, there are no units. Is it 6 - 30 feet? Meters?

  • Since Stonepower works because of Blue Stone specifically, please link to Blue Stone when mentioning their crystal veins.

  • Under Strengths, I am concerned about the power level of the Tears of Chritin. The Healing Crystals of Fire are noted as unique, an incredibly rare treasure, but the giants as written can make something of equal power every time they cry. I would recommend limiting this, or explaining it more. What does it take to make a giant cry? How often can they cry these incredibly powerful crystals? If the giants become an endless source of powerful artifacts, this submission will probably be challenged for balance reasons.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

The Mongrel The Mongrel edited and as to the tears. I am all for balancing them.. the healing crystals was the closest I could think of in terms of strength as mount sorrows tears could cure a curse that nothing else could but a laughing till you die curse is strange and harder to gauge strength. I added some limitation to it but if more is needed then just let me know.
