This is probably going to kill me a little, as it's such a huge section so I'll try to tackle one aspect at a time and briefly go through each Guardian.- Savy Writer

Legend of the Guardians 

In ancient legends of the Magicverse world, there were once a group of spirits that rules over sections of elements or even space and time itself to make sure everything was regulated and maintained order. They grew tired of handling these tasks themselves and figured, what better person to regulate time for mortals then a mortal themselves? The spirits then sought out Guardians of their own to Guard over whatever section of magic they were inherently granted power to. Most spirits chose mortals that fascinated them, others took much longer time then others to find assistance. Even to this day, new Guardians may still be chosen. The Guardians chosen were granted fantastic magical feats and nearly god like powers; one among them being immortality from natural deaths. Since they are not seen much among the magical people most don't even believe they exist. 

What are Guardians? 

To put it briefly, they are the ones chosen by a single spirit to monitor and control a vast amount of magic; basically inheriting the spirit's magic. They are granted immortality so they may take on their tasks for a number of years and as such most of the Guardians listed will have great life spans. They are entirely capable of having children of their own, if they so choose, but most wouldn't outside of other Guardians because their partners wouldn't live as long as they would. Which is why they've decided among themselves that the pain would be too great; not saying this hasn't happened time to time again. To allow the option of having children, Guardians are normally chosen in adult hood. Rarely will a Guardian be a child. 

They communicate to their spirits through stones they wear in the form of necklaces or rings; some can even have earrings. As long as the stone is on them, they're allowed a means of communicating. This is usually used in emergencies, or when they need to be warned of fixing, say, a rift in space. 

Some Guardians hold massive sections of powerful magic to themselves, or these in turn are broken into smaller sections to ease the work strain. I'll try to list them in order from great importance below. 

The oldest Guardians are referred to as Ancients but there isn't much information pertaining to them at the moment. So those in the 1000s-2000s+ are the elder guardians. 

It's to be noted the male Guardians have a tendency to break out wars among each other more often over the years. They get tied in to the mortal wars and such. Not to say the female Guardians aren't involved in some themselves, they tend to lean more towards avoiding wars and working in keeping their magic sectors in check. 

Deity form. Each Guardian has an ultimate set of power, unlocked when their full level of magic is unleashed. They gain ethereal parts that resemble the spirits that gave them Guardianship. In this form they appear more monster-like then human. For example: Chaos gains ethereal spikes along his arms and chest, crooked horns, and a tail. As spirits have a tendency to take an odd mix of mythological creatures, animals, or even humans as their forms of appearance. 

X. Ancients (Discovered) 

No particular order of age.

Amon-Ra: It's unknown what he Guarded, just that he seems to be a lost prince discovered in an ancient ruin. He has yet to display his magic besides several snakes that appear to protrude from his upper back. He has an oddly sinister air about him, an empowered air. 

???: From the same area Amon-Ra was located, he has the wings of Ra. Also a claimed prince, it seems he was gifted to represent one of the forms Ra would take throughout the day. He's only been spotted a few times. Most of the other Guardians speculate his existence. 

???: One of the last users of "Creation Magic". He seems to have flittered about and survived through the years with its use; appearing as a young man with blueish black hair and bright eyes. Creation Magic has the capability to produce anything one's mind could think of, within limits, by summoning a creation table out of runes. It's one of the hardest magics to master outside of it being passed down through lineage. Since he was the last to-be king to obtain it, the lineage was cut off. He's marked as an Ancient. His prowess was one believed to be gifted by a spirit. It could possibly not be. 

I. Elder Guardians (Known) 

In order of age (As best as I can place) : 

Lady and Lord Aldurna- Guardians of the Passing of Life. There's two, to sort the two places the spirits may end up going. Both possess Light magic and are actually husband and wife. Lady Aldurna has been referred to as the "Mother of Guardians" before as she cares for their well-being. Lord Aldurna is a tad unstable, as he'd fallen into a state of madness during the Great War, and nearly killed several of the Guardians that tried to stop him. There was a recent incident where he nearly succeeded a second time, however Team Eternity's Magneyan and Darxiana managed to stop him. They are around 3000+ years of age and 40 years in appearance. 

Draketh (Dren)- Guardian of Time, specifically the way time flows. He has control over time manipulation and can travel through it at will. 1000+ years of age, 30 in appearance. Went mad during the Great War due to the loss of his mortal family, wife and 7 year old daughter. 

Kira- Guardian of Space, specifically maintaining rifts in the space time continuum. He can manipulate matter and repair it, retaining Psychic abilities he had before he was a Guardian. 20 years of age in appearance, he was actually a prince before he became a Guardian. 1000+ Years of age. Still suffers from heart pains he had as a mortal from time to time. 

???: Guardian of Distortions, oversees them. She is able to manipulate them and regulate them. She also oversees the distortion realm, where magic users distortion selves exist and regulates that region.  She fell in love with the Guardian of Lightning and has a 10 year old son named Corban Nightmare that has inherited her distortion magic. 

Grieve: Guardian of Nightmares, oversees them. He has the ability to manipulate and infiltrate nightmares if need be. He lost his wife during a war clash between the three guardians during another war, and had a currently 36 year old daughter; Darxiana. Darxiana has two children of her own, one 14 year old girl and one 15 year old boy with Magneyan; the girl inheriting her father's magic and the boy inheriting Darxiana's nightmare magic. Nearly 1000 years in age. 

???: Guardian of Dreams, oversees them. She has the ability to manipulate or infiltrate dreams, and also can put others to sleep. First known of the Guardians to actually gain the favor of another Guardian's spirit and betroth them. She has three sons with the Spirit of Chaos (Kairos), whose names are Circe, Icarus, and Crius. 1000+ Years of age. 

II. Guardians (Known- Ages above 500) 

Yoshiro- Guardian of the Skies. Known to some as Sky Lord,  he's more of a drifter. Sometimes he regulates storms... most times he causes them. He has the capability of flight at high speeds and high leveled Wind magic. 700 year old, 30 in appearance. 

Grovieux- Guardian of the Earth. Has Earth magic and can manipulate its surfaces. Keeps an eye out for natural disturbances. His body temperature is well above a natural level, reaching high enough points that he must wear a specialized suit to avoid causing those around him to pass out. He can also submerge himself completely in lava, and as a result of his naturally high body temperature, he lives within a volcano. It's rumored he and the Guardian of Fire are together. 600 years of age, 30 in appearance. 

Kyo- Guardian of the Oceans. He has high control over Water magic; able to manipulate water at will and bring it to rain. He can even breathe underwater, and as a result he travels through it most of the time. He was chosen as a Guardian when he was 11 years of age in this ceremony his people put on every year. His spirit waited until he was 30 years of age to pronounce him into Guardianship. 600 years of age, 30 in appearance. 

Lyu- Guardian of the Seas. He can travel quickly through water and breathe beneath it just as Kyo is capable of, and also has water manipulation. He regulates the storms out at sea and lives within one. He also has an interest in music; stopping to play his own during travels. Around 600 years of age, Mid 20s in appearance. 

???: Guardian of Fires. High manipulation of fire magics, her spirit took the form of a phoenix so she is capable of flight. Her interest in life before being a Guardian was a dancer so in her free time she dances among the fire lights she creates in her home. She can withstand great heats and freely manipulate fire. 600 years of age and 30 in appearance. 

Zeikrox (Zei) - Guardian of Lightning. Lightning makes up his body and as such he has manipulation and control over it; capable of powering entire skyscrapers by himself. Partnered with the Guardian of Distortions, they have a 10 year old son together. 600 or so years of age, Around 30 in appearance. 

???: Guardian of Tundras- He secluded himself in the mountains so there isn't much known about him. He regulates the tundras that pass through the colder regions and helps to prevent avalanches. Late 30s in appearance and around mid 500s in age. 

III. Guardians (Known- Ages below or at 500) 

Brodinsky- Guardian of the Snowball Effect, and possessor of ice magic. He can calm those suffering the height of the snow ball effect, which drives very negative influences on others minds. He was on the verge of death by frostbite as he was chosen for Guardianship so he's a child. 13 years of age in appearance, roughly mid 200s in actual age. 

Ceis- Guardian of Forests. He's a teenager Guardian that has manipulation over plants, particularly trees, within the forests. Possesses healing and nature magic. Early 200s in age, 16 in appearance. 

IV. Newer Guardians (Within the Natural Age range) 

Ray - Ripple Effect Guardian. Atoned to modern technology, he has prediction based tactics in fighting; able to determine and calculate the best outcome for himself. The odd wings pulsate like a grid when he activates his magic. Out of all of them, he's probably the more technologically advanced one. He can also see the auras of people and decipher what type of magic they use and if they're a Guardian or not; along with anomalies. 18 years of age, working solo in a city.

V. Apprentices to Guardians (Children of Guardians not Listed) 

Guardians hold a meeting among themselves when topics of importance come into play. One of them regarding the children the Guardians had or those that sought to train others with potential to become Apprentices. They ruled in favor of allowing all children of Guardians "Apprenticeship" that would eventually grant them immortality as well as their parents. Those born from spirit parents are automatically given immortality rights. 

Known Apprentices are: 

Aran: Apprentice to Grovieux- 
Blessed or rather cursed by the Spirit of Earth ,He can't control his magic well and sometimes loses control becoming a relentless force of destruction. His hair is normally black but when his magic activates it turns red. The jacket he wears is specially insulated to hide his body heat; which is a whopping 500 degrees. Grovieux is rather strict on training him because of the episodes he's had. He tends to nap in lava. 15 years old.

Ciro: Apprentice to: Yoshiro the Guardian of the Skies. 
He's 12 years old and tends to have his head in the clouds most of the time. He's a big day dreamer so you'll really have to fight to catch his attention. He has pretty fair control over wind magic, being able to levitate himself with it and create a gale around himself. 


VI. Spirits (Known) 

Kyuu: Spirit of the Oceans: Saved Kyo when he nearly drowned in the ocean as a child. Takes the form of a giant sea serpent or a man in his 40s with traditional robes. 

???: Spirit of the Seas: Ironically the second Spirit to choose a dying mortal in the seas, as Lyu had been a fisherman. Takes the form of a sea monster or a 30 year old man with a bright smile. 

Kairos: Spirit of Chaos: Takes on a human appearance most of the time and has an unruly attitude. I wouldn't trust him as far as you can throw him.  One of the only known spirits to have children of his own, young ones at that only aged 5-7 years. Takes the appearance of a golden Chinese Lung or a human. 

???: Spirit of the Skies: Has to look after Yoshiro's unruly behavior and step in a few times himself. Takes the appearance of a great sky dragon or a human in his late 30s.
