Guardians of the Universe

The Guardians of the Universe are fictional characters in the DC Comics superhero universe. They first appear in Green Lantern Vol. 2 #1 (July 1960), and were created by John Broome and Gil Kane.

Background

The Guardians of the Universe evolved on the planet Maltus, and were possibly the first intelligent life forms in the Universe. At this time they were tall greyish blue humanoids with black hair. They became scientists and thinkers, experimenting on the worlds around them. One experiment led to the creation of a new species, the Psions. In a pivotal moment, billions of years ago, a Maltusian named Krona used time-bending technology to observe the beginning of the Universe. This experiment flooded the beginning of the Universe with entropy causing it “to be born old”. (This is a retcon; originally, the experiment created evil, and splintered the Universe into the Multiverse).

Feeling responsible for this, the Maltusians relocated to the planet Oa (at “the center of the Universe”) and became the Guardians of the Universe. Their goal was simple: combat evil and create an orderly universe. And they acted quickly on that goal. During this period, they also changed to their current appearance. They serve as the administrators of the Green Lantern Corps, an interstellar police force which patrols the universe.

Psionics At will – aura alteration, banishment, bend reality, catapsi, correspond, dispel psionics, divert teleport, energy adaption, fabricate, metaconcert, quintessence, remote viewing, telekinetic thrust, tower of Iron Will. Manifester level 30th; Base DC 30+power level. All powers capable of augmentation are augmented to the highest levels allowed.

Guardians treat Green Lantern ring created effects as psionic effects for the purposes of their dispel psionics power, and a check against the Guardian’s power resistance is required to affect a Guardian with a Green Lantern ring. Green Lanterns are considered to have a ‘manifester’ level equal to their hit dice for these purposes.

Will Force Guardians are capable of creating any effect possible by a Green Lantern Ring. Guardians make a Psicraft check instead of a Concetration check.
