Sentinels and Guides - My other HALF
Sentinels and Guides Shipping Meme
A Sentinel!AU Meme
A Sentinel!AU Meme
There are special people in the world: Sentinels--whose five senses are incredibly enhanced, sometimes to the point of overwhelming and who can easily lose themselves in fugue states--and Guides, the empaths with the ability to ground a Sentinel and focus them. Meant to be the protectors of the Guides, for every Sentinel there exists a guide that is their perfect match. In some universes, when matches are made, a Sentinel and Guide form a soulbond to fill the feeling of emptiness.
How easy was it for you to find yours? How are Sentinels and Guides treated in your universe? Or maybe you're one of the normal, unremarkable people. Do you fear Sentinels and Guides? Despise them?
Rules
1) Post with your character/canon in the subject header.
2a) Choose whether your character is a Sentinel or a Guide
or
2b) If you don't know or don't care, just leave it blank!
3) Information about Sentinels and Guides can be found here and here. Information on 'The Sentinel' which this meme comes from can be found here.
Prompts
oo1. The Meeting:
How did you meet? Was it at an event organized specifically for finding your other half? By accident? Did you follow a mystical calling to them? Some other way?
oo2. The Bonding:
Do Sentinels and Guides in your universe soulbond? How does it go down? Is there a ceremony or do you just retreat to the bedroom?
oo3. Rejection:
Sometimes Sentinels or Guides propose a match but it's just not perfect. You don't feel the pull or maybe you think there is someone better or maybe you're already claimed. Maybe you were claimed and someone better came along?
oo4. Protection:
Sentinels are meant to protect Guides, any Guides, but it's even worse when they feel their Guide is in danger. They go feral; blind to anything but stopping and killing whoever threatened their Guide or the bond. Maybe someone attacked your Guide or you haven't bonded yet and you feel threatened or maybe you're the one doing the threatening. Whatever the reason, Sentinels in a feral state are dangerous and only their Guides can stop them.
oo5. Lost:
Sentinels often lose themselves in their senses. Either you're a Sentinel who has lost themselves or a Guide that has stumbled on one or a friend trying to draw them out. Unbonded Sentinels will find it hard to escape without a Guide. Or maybe you're bonded already which means you just need yours to come home.
006. Persecution:
Sometimes normal people or the government fear the power of Guides and Sentinels. Guides are empaths, feeling the emotions and sometimes passing thoughts of others and it can make people feel violated. Sentinels often have enhanced strength, which can make them dangerous. So they scorn them, hurt them or in the case of governments, regulate them.
oo7. Death:
Unbonded Sentinels and Guides eventually lose themselves to the empty cavern inside them. Torn apart from the inside by the feeling of something missing. Breaking the soulbond of a Sentinel and Guide is agonizing and horrifying, leading quickly to death for the remaining partner.
oo8. Old-School:
Guides used to be treated on the same level as slaves. Unable to work unless their Sentinel said. Not allowed out on their own. They used to wear collars and couldn't own land or inherit money. Maybe the old ways haven't completely fallen out of style.
oo9. Unbonded:
Nothing is worse than being an unbonded Guide or Sentinel. Always looking for your other half to fill that empty feeling but you probably have friends that aren't your match or who are trying to set you up with someone. Maybe you're skeptical about the whole love at first sight thing and haven't been looking.
o10. Wildcard: Some mish-mash of the above or anything else you can come up with!

"I have so many questions," he said. Here he had thought he'd have the most to explain, being a green-haired, orange-eyed man being held by the Yakuza and all.
He could feel the tangle of senses ringing from
thehis Sentinel, and instinctively he reaches out, hesitating only for a moment before taking the devil's hand. It felt different to reach out to this man than it did to reach out to anyone else, meticulously unwinding the tangle and putting everything where it belonged. It confirmed Nageki's earlier suspicion--there was definitely no sense of sight to be unwound with the rest, just highly developed (even more highly developed than usual) hearing, feeling, and so on."But first, we should go." Nageki did not feel like getting attacked and captured by the Yakuza again. "I'm slow. The city gives me a headache." He was ready to tough it out, but he had a disadvantage in blinding migraines. He knew it would slow him down regardless of how hard he tried and his rescuer had to know that to plan accordingly.

The tension begins to melt from his shoulders as the Guide, his destined Guide, helps him make sense of the chaos and soothe it all back down into a more manageable roar again. Matt nods, holding on to his hand as they start to leave the docks. "I'll protect you. I'll get you home."
Getting through the city won't be easy when Matt prefers to run across rooftops and make perilous leaps between them. He's going to have to rethink how they get back to his apartment in one piece. "Come on. I'll think of something."

"I know you will." It was said softly and matter-of-factly, like there was no debate that the Sentinel would protect him. Maybe there should have been, but Nageki could feel the man's determination humming off of him. He knew the stories about the Devil of Hell's Kitchen. He had faith that if anyone could protect him, this man could.
But he was pretty sure neither of them were bulletproof, and the Yakuza had guns. "Many of them will be guarding their guns and drugs. I told them that was what you were after. It buys us some time." It hurt his head to, but Nageki tried to refocus his attention on the mental noise, trying to see if he could pinpoint any hostiles coming their way. "I'm their only Guide here, and none of their Sentinels have visited me today. They'll already be on the edge of a fugue state."
