Empyrean Guard
The Empyrean Guard is an elite military order that reports directly to the Emperor of Empyrean Empire. They function as bodyguards to the Emperor, provide shows of strength at ceremonies, and function in tandem with the secret police of the Empyrean Empire in Candor, act as diplomats and ambassadors, (allegedly) torture, perform assasinations, and perform executions. Also known as: the Holy Knights of Candor, Protectors of Euphoria, Wardens of Dysphoria, Champions of All That is Good and Right, and The Emperor's Left Fist.
Appearance and Armament
Each member of the Empyrean Guard is distinct, with anime-inspired hairstyles and facial features, representing various descents and genders. Their holy white armor is adorned with gold, silver, and gems, symbolizing their sacred duty and alignment with the Light element. The members carry unique weapons, including swords, nunchaku, battle axes, flails, blowdart guns, and shotguns, each leaving a rainbow trail during attacks due to a special blackbody radiation effect.
Members
The Empyrean Guard traditionally consists of five elite members at any given time. These members are seemingly selected to embody specific personality, body, gender, and weapon tropes, adding a contrived marketing diversity to the group. Most members hail from similarly privileged backgrounds, but not necesarily so.
Duties and Activities
The Empyrean Guard conducts inspections at the Candoran Bazaar, ostensibly searching for illegal produce. This task complements their responsibilities as the empire's secret police, spy force, and hit squad. Their actions, while glorified as heroic by the Empire's propaganda, have a darker side, often resulting in suffering among the less fortunate and un-pretty species.
Impact and Perception
To the general populace of the Empyrean Empire, the Empyrean Guard is viewed as a group of heroes. However, their activities build resentment among the oppressed, fueling the rise of terrorism and despotic leaders. This cycle of oppression and resistance serves to justify the continued existence and actions of the Empyrean Guard.
