The Guardians who are Taken


The Butterfly- Iris
The Dragon-Tony
The Cat-Fallon
The Bird-Trace
The Fox-Skyler
The Light-Theresa
The Dark-Theresa
Your Guide- Deva


Name: Iris

Age: 22

School & Grade: St. Avoid College

Location: Real World

Bio: Iris hasn't had the best life. In fact she's lucky to be alive. Her past is clouded in a lot of mystery because she doesn't like to remember everything that has happened. Trace is the only one that knows most, if not all, of her past. They have been best friends forever. They are pretty much inseparable, and have been living together since she ran away from home.

Iris has been the top of her class since she was young. Always forced to be the best. Always told she wasn't good enough. That she was a mistake and not wanted. Her family was always really hard on her... So, she did whatever she could to not go home. After school activities, clubs, sports, and committees. She's had a job since she was 12. She talked a nice man that ran the corner dinner into paying her under the table until she was old enough to actually have a job.

Other then that not much was known about her.

Guardian or Powers: Butterfly; When in the cyber world she has a set of butterfly knives like her knives at home

as well as a twin blades

Personality: "The Dreamer" Is not just a title for Iris. She tends to space out and think of the weirdest things. In the real world she tried to stick to herself and is very shy. She holds her friends very dear to her but has a lot of trouble making them so the few she has are friends fore life. [pretty much] She tends to have "bi-polar" tendencies. Making her moods swing back and forth for no reason.

Info on Bi-polar if its needed

[ Real World ] / [ Cyber World ]

***Picture not drawn by me and is not my commission. Full credit to the people that thought it up and drew it out


Iris appears in almost the same form in both worlds, but because of her powers over illusions she can change her appearance if she needs to. Only real difference is that she can have wings in the cyber world.

-Wings expand out to full angel wings when needed.
- For clothes she normally wears jeans, a dark colors t-shirt, a nice leather jacket, and nice high heels. [unless sneakers are needed but she can run faster in heels then flat shoes anyways]

The Balancer: A tattoo of butterfly wings on her back.

Guardian Phone:

Username: Mizeria
Name: Tony Genuario
Age: 23
School & Grade: None (St. Avoid Graduate)
Location: At home. (Works as a private investigator)
Bio: During his school years, Tony was the type of guy that people would hang out with before finding out how much of a nerd he was. He seemed outgoing but when it came to how things happened, his ability to see each and every detail made him seem obnoxious to the point where those involved in the problem would really care about what he was saying, and thus, he grew into isolation before going into St. Avoid's Criminal Justice program.
College was the time where he truly bloomed and grew into notorious popularity. He inspired his class until one day his friend betrayed him... there Tony refuses to talk about college any further.
After graduating with a degree in crime scene investigation at the age of 21, Tony joined the forensics team. However, a number of crime scenes gave little evidence to the accusations made. It was as though someone, or something had swept through each scene before he got there. After a year of toiling, he decided to leave and open up a private investigating firm. So far he's had a fair amount of success, but has yet to be presented with any case more important than relation-related suspicions (I.E. "I think my spouse is cheating on me").
Outside his profession, Tony has had a smaller and more isolated life, hardly visiting anyone unless for business.
Guardian or Powers: Tony can control and create fire, burning away anyone who stands in his way with the dragon guardian. Aside from his normal ability to observe and pick out details, the dragon's fire can burn away the memory and possibly the corruption of enemies.
Personality: If he's not your friend, his personality will be purely professional, acting only as he feels necessary. When your his friend, he will change into someone outgoing and a little quirky, forever loyal since so few people seem trustworthy to him.
Apperance: In the real world he is a private investigator, hiding his eyes and keeping his Italian skin from reach under his coat, hat and gloves.

In cyberspace, he loses the hat, gloves, and some of the sleeves to reveal a dark hero who understands what is at stake.

The Balancer: "A dragon watch....How did that get there?" Tony said, looking at his wrist.

Guardian Phone: A black smart phone with a dragon avatar that somehow leaks into every application on the phone (I.E. the car on the GPS is a little dragon, and Angry Birds launch dragons that breath fire onto the green pigs).

Name: Fallon Orin Callahan
Age: 18
School & Grade: College Freshman
Location: St. Avoid College
Bio: Fallon was born into an ordinary family, but with his father being in the military he was trained from a young age in different methods and strategies for combat. He always found it fascinating along with the history associated with it as well, though he preferred the warfare of simpler days of the shield and sword. Because of this, he would train for hours on end mastering different styles of swordsmanship. This caused him to carry himself differently than others, and often separated him from his peers since he seemed to be arrogant or always on guard. This resulted in him making only a handful of friends in all the places he lived, though he always enjoyed the company of others as much as time spent by himself.
Guardian or Powers: Fallon has the ability to summon and wield anything made of water, ranging from its purest form as a simple liquid to artic ice. With the Cat as his guardian, he is ferocious in combat wielding his wicked curved sword, which carves a swathe through anything that dares stand in his way.
Personality: Fallon was always a bit of a loner, though when he makes friends he makes them for life. He is fiercely loyal and will defend those close to him with every ounce of his being. Be warned though if you should cross him, for he has no equal in ferocity and skill.

Name: Trace Valheim Arino

Age: 22

School & Grade: St. Avoid College

Location: Real World

Bio: Trace was born unable to talk and struggled to get along and meet other people. As a child he moved from school to school finally finding a school that catered to his needs. He met a few people but one stood out. Iris was an amazing friend who helped him through school and even learned to sign so he could talk to others. Not long after 8th grade Iris began living with with him and the two grew very close and were inseparable. They even picked the same college to attend.
Trace is amazing with computers he has created numerous programs as well as a few games he made for him and Iris.

Guardian or Powers: Can control wind. He also carries around Throwing Knives in both the real and cyber world

Personality: To outsiders Trace is shy closed off and unapproachable. His friends know him as an amazingly funny person and is some one who will protect those he cares.

Username:Obbiesan
Name: Skyler Rua Karasek (Sky)
Age: 19
School & Grade: St. Avoid College, sophomore
Location: St. Avoid College
Bio: Sky's always been the only child, but at times she's give the bigger half of her lunch (or lunch money) to a friend. However, she gets annoyed easily by drama and noise. Despite the expectations of her parents, Sky's talents and hobbies run haywire when she's alone: massive piles of cloth and cardboard somehow become works of art...but some people still refer to them under the collective term of "trash". Her room back at home is clean enough; she dragged half of it into her dorm, despite the complaints of her roommate. When no one's close enough to mind, she'll blast music on full volume.
Guardian or Powers: Paired with her creativity, the power of the fox is a devastating thing in Sky's hands -- her favorite ruse is to materialize a grand piano some ten feet above an enemy's head. When that doesn't work, she'll resort to her poisoned bichawa, blade, or anything else she can form.
Personality: One moment an angsty artist and the next a curious little kid, Sky's temper can come and go in the blink of an eye. Whether she's her usual brooding self or momentarily distracted by a rare positive thought, sarcasm leaks too easily and unconsciously into her voice. She believes that fighting is an art, and frowns upon the hack-n-slash methods of medieval warriors.

Username: Espy

Name: Theresa Annalisa Tiresmyra
Age: 18
School & Grade: St. Avoid College, First Year
Location: Real World
Bio: Theresa was raised in a strict family with no brothers or sisters. As an only child with absentee parents Theresa longed to fill a void. At first she tried collecting friends but observed how some friends back stabbed others. Frightened by this prospect, Theresa started becoming an introvert and delved into the fine arts. There she discovered characters that she could painstakingly create; they would keep her company and were unable to betray her. Her favorite is an angelic character who she gave her middle name to. Theresa pretended that she was her sister for a while but eventually grew out of it. Later in life, Theresa would completely withdraw, she would zone out and come back to. While in the trance like state it was reported that she acted completely different than normal. Theresa is smart but rarely uses her smarts for good preferring to use it for darker things such as in hacking or changing grades for cash.
Guardian or Powers: Theresa has the power to create darkness and hide things in shadows; she also has a staff she uses as a melee weapon when she is not casting spells. Her other personality has the power to reveal hidden things and force the darkness back. She has a pair of twin swords with hilts that have doves on the handles.
Personality: Theresa is withdrawn and rather bad at dealing with people. Her alternate personality is outgoing and easily works with other people.
Appearance: Theresa in the real work has shoulder-length brown hair and dark green eyes. She normally does not care what she looks like but often wears a collared shirt and black slacks. Theresa’s complexion is pale as she does not spend much time outside.
Cyber version: Theresa has long black hair with a slight curl to it and her eyes are a dark blue. She wears a mage’s black outfit with silver trimmings and carries a Blood Oak staff on her person. She will start a conflict or create confusion. Theresa also has a large pair of black wings that has razor sharp feathers despite appearances.
Theresa’s other self has straight white hair that is barely inches from the ground and her eyes are completely a light blue almost white making it easy for her to be assumed blind. She wears all white armor with gold trim. Her swords are always by her side but she only chooses conflict when there is no other way. She is insanely protective of Theresa and will do just about anything for her. The white wings that protrude from her back are as soft as downy feather.

Name: Deva
Age: Ageless, looks about 18
School & Grade: What is this school you speak of?
Location: In the tallest tower of my area, normally sitting in my chair
Bio: Deva was created shortly after the internet itself was. She didn’t have anyone around her for the longest time, then one day the guardians appeared; with them they created the areas of Cyberspace. Time has changed the world though, humans created things, bad things, that have corrupted the world beyond what they can fix. The only safe place is her home; the tower keeps her and the Data-mans safe due to several layers of protection. It is time to find someone who can help remake the world, someone who can stop the destruction and remake the world back to what it was, or the destruction may leak into the human world.
Guardian or Powers: Protector of the Guardians, can manipulate data to send people to and from the world and see what is going on around it
Personality: Though she is ageless Deva acts more like a five year old getting easily excited and hyper. She never truly sleeps but some times she will be found curled up in her chair with the beach in front of her. She is only serious when it comes to her job as keeper of the guardians and when Veda destroys something in the world.

The Virus- Veda
Hacker 1-Tasunke
Hacker 2-Audrey

Name: Veda
Age: Ageless looks about 23
School & Grade: What is this? Petty Humans
Location: hidden but can jump from place to place
Bio: Veda just appeared one day no one knows why, but once she appeared others followed and they are what is fixing this world, shaping it for their own use. She doesn’t like Deva that much due to her inability to get into her realm. She some times is found in areas where webcams are so she can peer out into the real world, and sometimes she gets mad that she can’t go to it and releases a problem or two.
Guardian or Powers:Movement of Data packets (EX. Removing the floor and replacing it elsewhere or herself), Creating minor Viruses, Double scythe
Personality: Veda is on the slightly crazy side, after all she cause havoc in the world some of it must rub off on her. She loves her creations and doesn’t like them being ‘fixed’ by the guardians. A bit of a wanderer she doesn’t really have a connection to a certain place but finds that all of the worlds should be her home, after all she is the ruler.

b]Name:[/b] Tasunke
Age: 23
School & Grade: Do not have either
Location: Occasionally St. Avoid College
Bio: Once upon a time Tasunke was a promising young student St. Avoid College. With the highest marks the school had seen in years, especially in computer programming, he was the youngest student the school had ever accepted having only been fifteen upon enrollment. But after a year or so he dropped out of school without so much as a word to why. With no real place to go upon leaving school, Tasunke became homeless and took to stealing what he needed for survival. He also took to haunting the school grounds, keeping clear of any officials however, and became sort of a rumor amongst the students. Some even developed extraordinary stories about how the shaggy man in well worn and dirty trench coat was really the ghost of a man who died in the schools basement when it was first built. That story is his favorite. Regardless he would often find himself sneaking into the school to sleep, but more often then not to gain access to the schools computers. Hacking has always been his favorite pass time.
Guardian or Powers: With the chameleon as his companion, he has ability to shape-shift and charm others. It is with these abilities that he is able to introduce viruses and steal information like any perfectly programmed trojans horses can do. Tasunke finds weapons to be clumsy and often unreliable, but in a pinch where mere hand-to-hand combat is inefficient then he will use a simple, but sharp, double edged dagger.
Personality: In reality he is secretive, paranoid and at times prone to random outbursts of rage. But once in the cyber world he becomes a socialite who can weave wonders with words and has a calm and pleasant manner.
Apperance: In the real world he is filthy, unshaven and smelly. He stands at about six feet (though it is hard to tell since he is almost always hunched over), with long shaggy dark brown hair that, along with his short beard, hides his face. Upon closer inspection one would be able to tell he has one blue-grey eye and one brown. In the cyber world however he can appear however he chooses that best suits his needs.
The Balancer: A tattoo of a small black chameleon on the back on his neck.
Guardian Phone: Hackers and homeless people have no need for cell phones.
Username: Mirror gardens


Name: Audrey
Age: 21
School & Grade: Sophmore
Location: St Avoid College
Bio: Audrey was born into a loving home. He grew up a good all around kid, seldom in trouble often playing at least one sport and managing to be on the honor roll most of his life. Until recently he had one steady girl friend but decided it was best to say friends rather then going to the next level. Neither one of them wanted to worry about a relationship while studying. He works a part time job at the cafe near the school and occasionally volunteers at the library. Every good boy has a darkside, and hacking is Audrey's.
Guardian or Powers: His first power is the power to open rifts through dimensions and his second is the power to control inanimate objects. He doesn't have one weapon since he has the power to control inanimate objects.
Personality: He is a boyscout in real life. Audrey is always one to help others when they needed and give encouragement. Some times it sounds as if he speaks naively so. In cyberspace he is a quiet mystery. He likes to drift with out speaking.
Appearance:

Real: in the real world Audrey has deep mahogany red hair that frames around his head and usually rest on his back in a braided pony tail. His eyes are hazel but in the right light appear green. His face is dotted with dark brown freckles. His skin is the color of the beach sand and hes tall.

Virtual: In the virtual world, Audrey has long black hair that he keeps in a bun adorned with butterfly pins. He wears an all black coat that has a hood and frays at the edges near the bottom where it poofs.
The cuffs are belt buckles. Outside of his jacket, Audrey wears an all black body suit that guides seamlessly with his form until it gets to his rain boots. There are various rips in his suit that look as if butterflies had floated directly off his clothing. His face in the cyber world reflects that of a Venetian mask, but with one half of a butterfly curved around the edge of the mask's left cheek.

The Balancer: He has a belt buckle that has a fennec on it. It alludes to the type of virus he is.
Guardian Phone:He does not use a cell phone, he uses an Ipod.

In a windowless room Deva groaned as several more screens popped up, "Fifteen! Fifteen more corruptions in the Storybook realm, why?" Sending the screens away she looked down at the two sleeping animals at her feet... "It may be time to open the portals." She looked at the walls of the room, the seven portals had never been opened, the world had been fine on its own. Veda had changed all that, she had brought discourse to this world, she and her viruses had made this mess. "Dark, Light.... please go find the others... it is time" The twins looked at her before going down the spiral staircase, both yelling at the top of their lungs.... oh the spacers in the castle would love that, it was close to midnight and most of the castle was asleep.
Pulling up a blank screen Deva typed in a string of commands, the portals all glowed a bright white light before turning a dull grey. Now all she had to do was wait for them to be stolen into this world. "Seriously why storybook land? It is for children, what do they want with the three little bears? Goldilocks all ready took their porridge." She leaned back in the chair to look at more files grumbling to herself about how much she wished that she could just play god and zap Veda herself, but every Light needs a Dark.

Fallon had just got out of his last class for the day, and felt the need to blow off some steam. His professors always gave him grief for the fact that he fell asleep in their classes despite being able to answer all of their questions and pass their exams. He practically ran to his basement, or as he called it, The Armory. It was named as such because of the vast collection of weaponry that he had amassed along with a seemingly endless supply of targets and mirrors to watch himself as he practiced. He grabbed his favorite sword, a perfectly weighted blade, that was made for him on his sixteenth birthday. As he picked it up, he remembered that it was given to him by his father, and bittersweet emotions flooded him.
Centering himself first, he began to hack and slash, mindlessly and effortlessly flowing through the forms and motions that he had practiced endlessly since he had been able to handle even the smallest of weapons. Moving faster and with less precision, he started to let his pent up frustration and memories of the past flow through him and struck with greater force. The stationary targets did little for him as a challenge, though he managed to at least calm down some for the moment. He stopped for a minute and surveyed the damage he had inflicted and realized that it would take several long hours in order to restore the room to ideal conditions for practice again. All of a sudden his phone buzzed with a notification that he had a new email. He tried to open it, but it refused to be opened with a cat popping up on his screen before crashing his phone. "Damn it all," he angrily stated, "this would happen today of all days. Oh well, might as well try my computer." He pulled out his laptop and was greeted by a blinding light as he clicked on the message. "What the...."

[Mizeria]

Iris finished wiping down her tables, and walked the dinner once more. Everything in its place and ready for the morning. She fixed the last salt shaker, grabbed her bags, and walked to the door. She took one last look back at the store. There was a certain sadness to its empty booths, but by morning they would all be filled. The air would smell of the wondrous food, and Felix would be singing while he cooked in the back. The wonderful baritone.. It was more home here then almost anywhere. She sighed and closed the door, locked it, and walked down the street towards the library.

Trace was there. Looking for some books for whatever computer thing he was in the middle of. She smiled to herself and pulled out her phone.

"On the way. See you soon."

She hit send on the text hoping that he was done. She just wanted to get home. The sun was down and most things were closed. She had been telling Tony for years he should make the little dinner a 24-hour place. He would get more business that way, but he had always refused. The wind blew past her as she walked. She was almost to the library. She kept looking back. Feeling as though someone was watching her as she went. Yet the streets were empty. All the lights in the windows were dark. She pulled her jacket close and walked up to the entrance to the library. Trace was waiting outside for her and she just smiled and grab his arm pulling him close and started the walk to the apartment.

[Broken Muse]

Theresa glanced up from her work and frowned. It was rather late and she had not realized she had been working so long. Standing up, Theresa stretched causing her legs to groan, she had not moved from the library for several hours having been so wrapped up in her own little world. She was just glad no one had thought to check on her because only half of her work was innocent, the other half being the hacking into the college database for some people. The computer gave out a soft ding signaling incoming mail and breaking Theresa out of her reverie. She sat back down to check it and immediately noticed that there was no IP address for where the mail originated. Ignoring this Theresa opened the email and not terribly surprised to see no message; she was, however, surprised at the blinding light that swallowed her up.

With both pencil and eraser in a single hand, Skyler ran through her Youtube with her free hand. Need good music. Now. Cussing around a slice of pizza she had managed to smuggle from the cafeteria, she finally found what she was looking for and went back to her drawing.

Physics homework...could wait.

Too much torque, she thought. m1 x d1 = m2 x d2...So, m1 is physics and m2 is drawing...? Augh, no, have to think about other things. Her first year in MechEng was proving to be much more difficult than she had imagined.

Her phone, settled into her jacket pocket (her jacket was slung careless over her chair), shook suddenly, and Sky looked at the cover. Why couldn't Len just leave her alone for a bit...?! She put the orange-and-black phone on her desk. Next time her roommate bothered her, at least the whole chair wouldn't shake.

Maybe she'd play an MMO later.

"Thank you for your time, Mr. Genuario," Ginnie Ash said to the private eye, walking past the man out the door.
"It's no trouble at all, Miss Ash. Have a nice day," he said, closing the apartment door behind her. The check that she left on his desk would be enough to pay off that month's rent with money to spare, luckily for him. It was great reprieve, now that he nearly spent all of his savings from his last job.
Tony Genuario lived in simple but comfy lodgings. His apartment on Vermont Street was not too shabby, but it could hardly be called lavish. Numerous rugs had been laid across a concrete floor in the L-shaped studio. From the front door, only a medium sized, wooden desk could be seen, but walking beyond the thick red curtains on the left, a kitchen, dining room, and bedroom collided into one room that was further decorated. From there only one could see only two doors, a cellar door which led to "the lab", and a door that led to the bedroom that hid behind the wall to the work area.
He hung up his hat by the door and crashed onto one of his client chairs, after grabbing his laptop from his desk. The client chairs were softer and probably more expensive than his own wooden desk chair, so when he was not around any clients, he liked to work there.
Opening his web browser, he heard a familiar voice: "You got mail!" Silly Aol, he thought, opening the email page.

To: GenuarioInvestigations@Aol.com
From: Deva
Subject: I need your help!

Tony looked at the email and frowned. He turned on his virus protection and scanned the email, only to find it to be safe. So this isn't a scam of some sort. After checking the time on his clock, he looked back at the email and shrugged to himself. He closed up his last case just today, and it would hurt to have some security for the next month or so. He opened the email, and was engulfed by a bright light.

Trace sat in the library looking through the computer checking all of the different coding books. He had not coded in about two months and this new work at home job was quite demanding so he needed to brush up on a few of his basics on his day off as he has a huge project he needed to work on when he got home. As he searched he finally found the last book he needed. He quickly wrote down the names of the three books and ran off to find them. The first two books he wanted were easy to find, but he had some trouble finding the last. Finally after a few more minutes of looking he had found it. As he took the books and walked to the front of the library his phone went off it was a text from Iris

"On the way. See you soon."

He quickly closed his phone and rushed up to the front desk. Trace approached the front desk and placed the books on the counter as he signed to the lady behind the desk. “Just these three books please.” He signed quickly with a smile on his face

“These are due back in two weeks.” She said back to him knowing he was mute not deaf “Have a nice day and take care of the books.”

As soon as she handed him the books Trace ran outside and waited for Iris. Not even a minute passed and Trace had already spotted her. She was walking quickly towards him and as she got to him grabbed his arm without saying a word and jerked him forward as they walked off towards their apartment.

[Mizeria]

"Today was super busy. I feel like I spent the last six hours running around in circles and getting nothing done. Tips were good though so I should be able to replace that crappy phone I've got with a new one." Iris sighed and looked around still feeling as though she was being followed. She hoped it would be better now that she was with Trace. There was no reason for her to feel so uneasy. Her phone went off in her pocket with a shrill tone startling her.

The screen read [ FELIX ] and after another second made another shriek in her fingers. There shouldn't have been any sounds. It was on silent. She answered the call reminding herself to check into that later.

"Felix?" She spoke but the question was irrelevant. The phone had told her it was him so why wouldn't it be.

"Iris, good thing I caught you. I'm gonna be short some people in the morning and I know you like to pick up extra shifts. Would you like to come in tomorrow and maybe work a double? I know its a lot, and I know you just got out not to long ago..."

He paused for a moment thinking about something.

"...I could really use you're skill. The customers love you. The staff love you. You brighten everyones day when you're there... I'll pay you double all day tomorrow." Felix's friendly fatherly voice buzzed over the phone making Iris smile a little.

"You're throwing extra money at me to hook me in aren't you? I'll honestly have to think about it. You had me running around like a crazy person today. I'm tired.... I don't know if I'll be up for a morning shift." She spoke casually but knew she would do everything in her power to help him out cause he needed it. He was pretty much family in her eyes. The father she never had.

"It would really help me out if you could. Let me know, or just show up tomorrow. I called everyone else already 'cause I knew you had the night shift tonight... Just try? Please?" He begged.

"Fine Felix, I'll try. But you owe me for this. I expect my usual on the house tomorrow. I've got to go. G'night" Without a word from him she hung up.

She looked at Trace as they turned the corner. They were almost home. Her phone beeped once more and when she looked down at her phone butterflies had filled the screen. All colors shapes and sizes, and after a moment there was only one left. A beautiful digital purple butterfly. 'Odd... what a strange virus...' she thought. Aloud she said "So I'm working a double tomorrow. I hope you can survive without me home...."

Trace put the key in the door and opened it. He held it open for her as she went in. The books in his hand making it impossible to sign to her anyways. Sometimes the silence was hard to deal with, but that didn't matter. They were home.
