Chronomancer, Guardian Form (Individual) (5e Class)
Guardian Form Chronomancer
Blades clash as the Human Fighter looked his Half-Orc competition in the eyes and grinned. Then with a blur of speed the Half-Orc was lying on the ground. When the fighter returned to the Arena's barracks the door didn't lead to where he expected. He looked around and time and space was fluid and in front of him stood two Deities, one of Time and one of Space, they bowed and vanished. All that remained in front of him was some Golden-Brown armour and two blades pulsating with energy. He put it on and picked up the weapons and felt his body and soul being ripped from reality, the armour and he were now one.
The Chronomancer charged toward the hoard of goblins far faster than would be expected. Extending his hands to his side the Astral Energy compresses to form a blade glowing with Astral Energy lifting his other arm a shield forms out of more compressed energy. Seconds could be minutes, minutes could be hours he wasn't aware but all that mattered was the pile of bodies fallen in front of him. Once his made sure to remove the bodies he swings his sword in front of him creating a rift and steps through and returns to the Astral Plane.
Creating a Guardian Form
As you create a Guardian Form Chronomancer, think about what got you noticed by the Gods of the Astral Plane and how you came to inhabit the Plane. Were you someone who studied Time and the Guardians who bring balance to the Astral Plane and the Material Plane or a gifted Fighter who's always felt that time was on his side? Did you accept the passage into the Astral Plane wilingly or were you ripped from your Plane of Existence and forced into the Astral Plane? Do you like your life in this form or do you want to return to your previous life?
