Essence of the777 Sacred Guardians

By drinking from this auspicious looking concoction that taste like nectar, you have become the bearer of the 777 Sacred Guardians!

• You can choose to be transported into another world, one much like your own but with prettier people, wacky hair colors and hairstyles, and the general presence and influence of classic anime tropes and logic! If you make this choice, you also have the opportunity to cosmetically change your appearance, age, and gender, and decide what your family is like; the only limitation is that it cannot be too absurd.

• You can decide if the world you are transported to is also influenced by hentai tropes and logic in addition to anime’s.

• You are granted 777 Sacred Guardians that are infused with supernatural abilities! The Imperceivable Guardian of The Chosen Hero is, by default, always in a constant materialized state, imperceivable to everyone unless you wish it otherwise. Even in its materialized state, it has the design of a one eyed, humanoid armoured warrior, about the size of an average human, and are made up of what looks like clear and colourless glass. It grants you the default abilities to detect all types of supernatural creatures and phenomena, including seeing through illusions and glamours with some effort. These default abilities are shared in some form or another by all your Sacred Guardians, though some are stronger than others. The set of powers granted by The Imperceivable Guardian of The Chosen Hero in particular is the potential for limitless growth, a decent resistance to magic, and the power to derived strength and abilities from the bonds you’ve forged. Lastly, it increases your charisma, allowing you to inspire hope within your allies and increase their morale with just your presence alone.

• As the name implies, there are 777 different Sacred Guardians, each one with a unique name, shape, texture, colour scheme, as well as a set of supernatural abilities usually related to its name. For example the The Blazing Guardian of The Burning Heart gives you abilities related to the production and control of fire, The Mesmerizing Guardian of The Charming One gives you mind controlling powers, and so on. Regardless, all Sacred Guardians are roughly humanoid in shape with the largest being around 15 meters in height and the smallest being the size of a human infant.

• Every Sacred Guardian other than the default (The Imperceivable Guardian of The Chosen Hero) requires effort to use and cannot be constantly maintained. With practice you will become better at it and will be able to use it for longer periods, but you will always have to deactivate it at some point to let your body rest.

• The abilities provided by the Sacred Guardians are not static in nature; they can grow, change, and evolve with training, usage and effort, with no recorded upper limits. They do not change past the ‘theme’ of the Sacred Guardian but merely grow more powerful and versatile.

• Although you are capable of utilizing a weaker version of your Sacred Guardian’s powers, by selecting but not materializing it, you will not be able to deploy its true powers without truly ‘materializing’ it. You can materialize a Sacred Guardian anywhere so long as it is within your vicinity, however, to ‘materialize’ a Sacred Guardian you have to first awaken it. Upon awakening a Sacred Guardian an Avatar of that Sacred Guardian will appear in your mind’s eye, this will allow you to then ‘select’ that Sacred Guardian to use a portion of its power or to materialize it whenever you wish. You can choose to start with two additional Sacred Guardians already fully awakened.

• Of your Sacred Guardians, 88 of them are classified as Supreme Sacred Guardians and will be awaken temporarily during periods of extreme emotional stress as part an emergency protocol. This is usually during your most desperate circumstances, such as a situation where there are zero odds of victory. These Guardians are absurdly powerful, and have abilities that can be comparable to cosmic beings or reality warpers. No matter what world you are in, materialization of a Supreme Sacred Guardian is akin to summoning a God-tier Entity by the standards of that world. Unlike your other Sacred Guardians you will have no control over these Supreme Guardians and will act on an extremely ‘goal oriented’ mindset, ready to mercilessly and methodically terminate whatever triggered the activation of the emergency protocol. Once the cause of its temporary awakening is eliminated or resolved, it will return back to being dormant, their actions during the triggering of the emergency protocol will be completely logical and mechanical.

• Gaining the means to consciously materialize a Supreme Sacred Guardian is possible, but extremely difficult. It requires a great amount of mental discipline to simply ‘select’ and utilize a small portion of a Supreme Sacred Guardian‘s powers, even more so to ‘materialize’ a Supreme Guardian and properly use its abilities at their full capacity. However, just like with any other Sacred Guardian, you can learn to control them with training and effort. Truly awakening a Supreme Sacred Guardian is also possible, but highly difficult for the same reason.

• Of your Sacred Guardians, 1 of them is rather special. Technically speaking, it is a Supreme Sacred Guardian, but it can manifest as a lesser version of itself with limited abilities, in fact, this Guardian already comes fully attuned to you. The Unfettered Guardian of the Dimensional Voyager gives you two abilities: the ability to fling yourself and any near people randomly across the multiverse to a world where you never been before, and the ability to precisely return to a world that you have been. Both these abilities require a cool down after usage, a couple of days for going, and a couple of hours for returning. You can get better ‘aim’ and lesser cool downs with practice. Beware though, this Guardian is still a Supreme Sacred Guardian, so it can manifest in its true form as The Boundless Sacred Guardian of The True Planeswalker if the usual conditions are met.

• Though the 777 Sacred Guardians must be materialized within your vicinity, they are not bound to your vicinity, nor are they bound to your body. After materializing a Guardian within your vicinity, you may send it out of vicinity and control it from afar. To that end, you are able to synchronize your senses with that of your Guardian’s. Your body merely acts as an anchor for their materialization so even if your body were somehow highjacked by someone or something they would not be able to access the 777 Sacred Guardians, and if your soul is still present within your body at that time, then all 777 Sacred Guardians would lash out at the interloper with extreme prejudice. Finally, in the event that the materialized Guardian is shattered, it will simply be dematerialized but you would have to wait for ten minutes cooldown to be able to rematerialized it once more.

• You can grant copies of the Sacred Guardian you have already unlocked to other people. These copies are initially less powerful than the original, and have a slower rate of growth, but in theory they can surpass the power of the original if the person you granted it to puts the time and effort required. Granting a Sacred Guardian to a willing person will instill a subtle but powerful sense of loyalty in them, making them unlikely to consciously betray you, this loyalty can easily stimulate the growth of feelings of friendship, lust, or love. This effect is greatly reduced if you grant them a Sacred Guardian without their knowledge, or force it upon them. Most people can only hold one copy of a Sacred Guardian, but in some rare instances they can hold more; though never more than three.

• You can remove any copies of Sacred Guardians you’ve granted at any time, regardless of the distance.
