"In a mysterious world...
For generations, people have used magic, coexisted with it. Some people were capable of harnessing natural magic and changing it. These people became known as wizards.
People loved the wizards, who would cure diseases and bring prosperity. But some wizards became filled with greed and malice, using their powers only to their own benefit. Some would help people for rewards, while others were more overtly criminal, using their magic to kill or steal from people.
At the height of this time of fear and confusion, one wizard, Jipoto the Old, fused the material and the ethereal by binding the forces of magic into a small stone. Filled with the grandeur of magic, the small rough stone transformed into a beautiful gemstone which poured forth all colors of the rainbow. The weilder of this stone would be able to tap into the very magic which holds the universe together, and posess unimaginable power. Jipoto created this stone to safequard nature's full power from the evil wizards, and was successful--bereft of their former power, the evil wizards were easily toppled.
But fate can be a cruel and unpredictable beast...
The very mobs which destroyed the evil wizards were universal in their destruction. Many good wizards were killed by terrified mobs, and the powers of magic were forgotten.
And then something unexpected happened...
For some years later, after the Fear had passed, a wizard who had survived the carnage chanced upon a small, magical stone. When he touched it, he was flooded with its power, and, seeking a way to posess it, he crafted a staff and set the stone atop it. With that staff, the wizard created six identical magical stones, or Gems, and affixed each to a different item of power. He gave these to his six closest friends. They became known as the Seven Guardians, and passed down, in secret, all the old traditions of magic.
The present day...
The Guardians have estranged themselves from each other. They train their students seperately, and have become more overt about their magic, using it to gain political influence and power. Some of the guardians have taken mysterious control of their disciples, turning them into bizzare monsters. Those who escape this utter destruction at the hands of their former teachers are hunted and often killed. But some still survive, and they watch as the world steadily draws closer to a terrible war...
This is their story."
Fire away. And while you're at it, does anyone know where I can get some Megaman 7, X, X2, or X3 music? Direct rips, of course.
