First guardian

A First Guardian is an entity that exists to protect its planet and 'facilitate the planet's ultimate purpose'. What purpose this is is currently unknown, however a First Guardian is typically almost as old as the planet it is born on, and are born through Weird Plot Shit and Weird Time Shit. Every planet destined for intelligent life has such a guardian, and though their forms vary widely, they all share a common and potent genetic code. This code grants them near omnipotence, and in some cases near omniscience as well.
