Decades into the Future
Things were peaceful for a little while until Generation 1 Guardians were defeated in a ruthless onslaught against the Final Frontier of Melbourne. Ami, Penny, Bella, Stacy and Angela were put into cryostasis after severe injuries leading to near-death, it is predicted they wont recover for another 100 years.
Himiko, barely escaped from the ruins of Melbourne is now CEO of Guardian development arm of Sakura Corporation.
The Maiden Rebellion
Originally a famous popstar group sensation "WILD" hailing from San Fransisco, in the divided nation of California. The Maiden Rebellion now holds a monopoly on the Guardian development after defeating Maiden Guardians 20 years before Generation 2.
[comment]: the next article is based around the Maiden Rebellion
Generation 2
A new Generation of Guardians were formed in Sapporo by the remaining Gen 1 member Himiko. Utilising stolen blueprints from the Maiden Rebellion, the new generation is much stronger and capable.
Himiko V2, The Blue Guardian
Older and wiser, Himiko's foray into the head of Guardian technology has helped her company in a significant way.
Utilising a barely legal glowing mineral from the outback of central Australia, Himiko's optimised V2 Guardian Form now holds a significant upgrade to her blade.
Haruka, the Orange Guardian
Haruka is Himiko's daughter and PR representative of Sakura Corporation. A little bit of a psychopath with plenty questioning the ethics of Sakura due to Haruka.
Her Guardian form is as crazy as she is. Utilising heavy turrets and rocket launchers touched up with Himiko's signature Samurai design language.
Izzie the Red Guardian
After Generation 1's defeat, WILD's manager Izzie was taken hostage by Japanese government spies and forced to fight for Sakura as Gen 2's Red Guardian "or else".
Izzie's graceful style is amplified with her Guardian form. Swift strikes using a fencing sword.
Kaya the Yellow Guardian
Kaya was a fan of Wild when she was young until the destruction of Melbourne. Now seeks to topple them with their own primal power.
Her tiger-form was greatly inspired by the Rebellion's primal designs. Can climb walls and slash violently.
Nia the Pink Guardian
Nia was born and raised in an orphanage affiliated with Bella, the gen 1 Pink Guardian. Autistic and hyperfixated towards the Maiden Guardians' form technology. Nia plead to Sakura Corp to join Gen 2 constantly during recruitment phase.
After her dream came true, she is now the tank of the group. Riot shield and a massive railgun compliment her wisdom and willpower to be the hero of the century.
Erika the Purple Guardian
Erika seeks knowledge in the way of Guardians. was originally driven by her hatred of mainstream pop music but stayed to protect the people she loves most.
The Purple Guardian is a SOTA build using nanotechnology indistinguishable from magic. A support role in providing utility for the rest of the Guardians.
Sapporo, Japan
Home of Sakura Corporation and Generation 2 of the Maiden Guardians. Due to climate change, Japan is cursed with permanent Ice Age, an "Eternal Winter" as called by locals.
The Sakura HQ oversees the city, "The Second Frontier" on a large mountain in central Hokkaido.
Personal Thoughts
Generation 2 is done. And I've got plenty of ideas for the Rebellion, which is an inspiration from Decepticons and Makuta's evil minions in Transformers and Bionicle respectively.
I do want this to be "waifu Bionicle" after all!
