See the angels, I'll lead them to your door

[inborn]

You're an angel. Not metaphorically, not in the "you're so sweet" way; you're a literal angel - ethereal energy form, wings, and all. But you're not just any sort of angel. You're a guardian angel. Guardian angels are a caste, or choir, created with the sole purpose of protecting those they're assigned to. Each angel is created specifically for the person they guard, with a few exceptions. The only thing you're programed to know is duty. Naturally, being invested in your charge is expected. What if your feelings for them veer away from "dutiful" into "fondness" and then...something else? Angels aren't supposed to know love, at least not in the way those in the living realm do. Still, nothing is as certain as it used to be, and you're not so sure of your purpose. All you know is that you want to keep your charge safe. Can you guarantee that, now?

How to Play Comment with your character and preferences. Mention if you'd rather play the guardian angel or the guarded. Tag others. Use the RNG to determine your fate. Prompts Watching: You've been watching this person as long as both they and you have been in this world. Maybe over years, maybe suddenly, things aren't the same when you look at them. Guilt: You realized that these pesky emotions are growing and you know this is against everything you know to be true. Your kind cannot love, and even if you could, this is wrong. You have known this person their entire life and thinking of them as more is unacceptable. Terrible Angel: You're not angelic at all and fail neatly at almost all the benchmarks, but when it comes to the one you guard, you don't folly. Righteous Fury: Usually, angels must be removed and impassive. You see your charge mistreated, though, and you lose control. Relegated to Guardian Angelhood: You used to be much more important, of a greater choir of angel. Then, you screwed up and got pushed down into the ranks of guardian angel. It would be easy to be bitter towards your charge. You aren't, for some reason. Can't Be Seen: The person you care for the most can't see you. It's typical angel protocol, yet you can't help but want to make yourself noticeable. Affecting Your Work: Your growing and sometimes erratic emotions make your job harder. You're getting sloppy. You may even allow your charge to be hurt or allow yourself to be conspicuous. Jealousy: You saw your charge with someone else and it...it really ruffled your feathers. Maybe you lost your cool. Hopefully, that won't mean bad mojo for the other person involved. No one would be any wiser if you made their head more attractive to bird droppings, though. Kiss: Can you kiss someone when you technically have no lips? They might just feel a pleasant breeze; still, you're kissing them, and this is...nice. How They'd Like You to Look: You've decided to make yourself known to them, and you want your appearance to be to their liking. Inhabiting the Vessel They Love: A bit more sinister than the above, but also somewhat practical. They already love this body, anyway. Revealing Yourself: You're taking the big step and coming into their life as an actual, tangible presence. Of course, "I'm your guardian angel" rarely gets the response you hope. Stay with You: You promise that you'll stay by their side always, now as a physical companion. Confessions: No matter the costs, you're revealing your true feelings. Deciding to be More: It's dangerous, it's unheard of; however, both of you want to become more than just angel and charge. Intimacy Without a Corporeal Form: They know you're there even when you're not in human form, and they want to touch you. This can be a smut option, but it doesn't have to be. Intimacy With a Corporeal Form: You're beginning to learn what it's like to be intimate with them while you're in this new form. Again, this can be a smut option, but it doesn't have to be. Wings: Letting someone touch your wings is the ultimate show of trust and, in angel terms, one of the closest things you have to sexuality. Called to the Mat: Your higher-ups have learned of your sins. Now, you're on trial. Will you deny your charge? Not Officially Yours: Problem number one: you're in love. Problem number two: it's with some other angel's charge. Second Chance: As previously stated, most guardian angels are created for that one special person. However, some angels whose charges have died young are allowed a second chance. Will this new person ever replace your old? Protection: Now is time to do the guarding - by any means necessary, especially now, after realizing just what your charge means to you. Fallen: Because of your sins, you've lost favor. You've been stripped of your heavenly grace and you've fallen. Immortal: You must deal with the implications that your charge will die and you will be sent on to a new heavenly job. Failed: You didn't do enough. You let yourself slip, and now your charge is dying. They were more than just a charge, so you must do what you can to let their soul pass on in the most peaceful manner possible. But can you let go? CHOOSE YOUR OWN

[probably the one guarded]

Alcuin nó Delaunay | Kushiel's Dart | OTA

[willyousee]

Either Guardian or Guarded!

Sheska | Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood | OTA, preference for M/F

[librariansheart]

Either an incompetant guardian or a great charge.

[photoshooter]

[Oh my god hey would you like a chipper dork with a handgun as your angel? Or I can always give you Dave. This is Asher, by the way.]

[librariansheart]

[omg hi! Either or, seriously! I have zero canon familiarity with yon chipper dork but since when has that stopped us.]

[photoshooter]

[Prompto isn't really the bookish type.

He can read, of course! He'd be hard put to guard a human if he hadn't at least mastered some of the basics of human society. But he's no intellect like Ignis, and without Gladio's patience or Noct's, uh... "gift" to sleep through anything, protecting this particular girl while she spends most of her time walled in this fortress of books is challenging. To his attention span, at least. At first he was glad to have such an easy assignment--and with a girl, to boot!--but now he's just suffering.

She's in danger, of course. He wouldn't be here if she weren't. Far greater powers than he shudder at the forces at play in this country. But the day-to-day is so dull he just can't take it anymore.

Prompto decides to liven things up, just a little.

Taking the shape of a young man close to Sheska's age--a little goofy-looking for his taste, but apparently, an angel's form reflects their power, and he's young, yet--Prompto knocks at the library door before entering, because he knows a thing or two about startling Sheska.]

Hey, um--

[Bwaahuh. He feels awkward as hell, talking with her for the first time.]

Ahaha, hey. I said that already. Ahem! Sheska, right?

[librariansheart]

[She looks up, surprised. Oh, well this is unusual. She doesn't generally have visitors, let alone people looking for her specifically.]

Ah? Yes, that's me! How can I help you?

Ankh | Kamen Rider OOO AU

[desertbirdankh]

[The worst guardian angel.]

Fem!Castiel | Supernatural | f/m

[nerdy_angel]

[Awkward guardian angel.]

Castiel | Supernatural | m/m

[cellphoneangel]

[Guardian angel, duh. Can be post season five when he's the new sheriff in Heaven or season seven when he's a little nutty.]

[jurisdevil]

[ Any interest in cross-canon? ]

Prompto Argentum | FFXV

[photoshooter]

[Probably angel, but I can go either way.]

[overashadow]

[ so i'm thinking maybe a combo of 13 + 22 but with riku sort of fighting it the whole way bc who needs a guardian angel!!! also kind of figured we could make it a somewhat darker au thing? if you're interested! ]

[photoshooter]

[What kind of darker AU thing are you looking for? Sidles up, waggles eyebrows, etc.]

[overashadow]

[ i was thinking about winging it lmao but considering riku's life has been a lot of darkness... maybe some sort of play on the heartless in the modern world as demons or something if prompto is the angel in this scenario, and they have to fight them together? idk anything really!! i'm easy! ]

Morgana | Merlin / Arthurian | OTA

[lefey]

[Probably a troublesome charge. Happy to do either though!]

[panzersoldat]

[ If you are okay with cross-canon and his large difference in age, I rolled a 12, though I'm also good for anything else you'd like to try ]

[lefey]

[I'm willing to give it a shot :) Would you like to start?]

[panzersoldat]

He had been watching over her for years. One of the multitude of the Holy Host. A single angel in a sea of angels. He had always done what he could to shield her. It didn't always work but he never stopped fighting for her. She might never see the things he kept at bay with his shield, but day and night, he protected her as best he could. In time, he even grew fond of her. More than fond.

He sometimes wished he could be there in the flesh. He wished he could protect her from those things in the human world that threatened and harmed her. She, who was often surrounded by knights and kings, but had no one to watch for her and keep her safe. He wished with all his heart he could. But he knew this wasn't what an angel did.

They stayed out of sight. Protected from on high. But he could do that no longer. He needed to be with her. But that meant showing himself to her and that never went well. The Holy Light and the glimpse of the incomprehensible left some mad, raving lunatics. But he felt he would go mad if he couldn't stand beside her, even once.

His choice made, he waited. He waited until a day when she was in true danger. That day, it was as if the heavens split open. There was a blinding light and brilliant golden armor decked in lions, massive white feathered wings of flame furling behind him. In his hand was not a sword but a hammer and on his arm a huge shield. For he was Reinhardt, Angel of the Shield.

He landed before her, a towering bulk of glittering gold, helm covering his face from view as he stood his ground to protect her, the brilliant Holy Light fading even as wings dispersed, leaving him there before her. And after her enemies were driven from her with mighty swings of his hammer he returned to her, helmet still on to kneel before her, his voice a deep boom like thunder.

"My lady, I have come to Earth to protect you."

( your favorite charge. )

[photoshooter]

[Are you sick of me yet, or would you be interested in something?]

[engineuity]

( heck no, I would love to do something! Any numbers in mind or should we leave our fate in the hands of RNG)

[photoshooter]

[My only preference is to avoid #25 since, hey, canon's sad enough already. You got anything you'd like to do?]

Peter Parker | Amazing Spiderman [CW Compliant] | OTA

[spideyguy]

[Dude EITHER. He'd be the worst charge ever though, fair warning.]

Hawke | Dragon Age series

[questionablewit]

[Either, but god help you if she's your charge. She attracts trouble like a magnet.]
