What to fill in first
Concept, personality, and one concrete goal
Priorities
- Name exactly who or what they protect. Not 'everyone'.
- Decide what they did before they had something to guard.
- Pick the thing they would fail to protect if it came to a choice.
Play tips
- Protecting people means being present for them, not just in front of them.
- The strongest guardian scenes are the ones they cannot solve with standing there.
- Ask what happens to them if the thing they guard is safe forever.
