Sharjo! Work with me on deciphering Star Guardian Lore

Now I don't have much to work with yet but I have come up with one interesting idea and compiled the stats of all the tar Guardians.

STR (Strength) Poppy 5 Jinx 3.5 Lux 1.5 Janna 1 Lulu .5

INT (Intelligence) Janna Lulu 5 Jinx 3 Lux 2.5 Poppy 2

AGI (Agility) Janna 4 Jinx 3.5 Lulu 3 Lux Poppy 2

SPE (Speed?) Jinx 5 Poppy Lulu Lux 4 Janna 3

ORD (Order) LuxPoppy 5 Janna 2.5 Lulu 1.5 Jinx .5

CHA (Chaos) Jinx 4.5 Lulu 3.5 Janna 2.5 Poppy Lux 0

But as to my current idea, I was looking through the information on the skins on Surrender@20 and I noticed this Gif that got me thinking.

https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7ZQJ2P4QY3Y/V-BxI4EvJ9I/AAAAAAAAUqA/klMJrBiY7t0lNt8kqev6oHz9LXU5KSlTQCLcB/s1600/ezgif-1320321945%2B%25281%2529.gif

Why is it that only Jinx, Janna, and Lulu have helpers but Poppy and Lux don't? (Aside from the obvious of Lulu and Janna already having companions)

But then I remembered the stats they showed on their individual pages and you'll notice something.

ORD (Order) LuxPoppy 5 Janna 2.5 Lulu 1.5 Jinx .5

The two SG's that don't have a helped are also the most devoted to Order. The middle two, Janna and Lulu, both have a helper, and Jinx, who has almost no Order at all has two helpers. So what if helpers are given to a SG if their dedication to upholding order and good wavers and if it seems that they might completely reject their duty they may even be given two helpers.

If you look at the Shatter section of the Legends page, it says, "Although rare, a Star Guardian may reject their fate as a protector. However, the results of such an action reverberate across the universe and beyond." If an SG rejecting their duty can have such huge ramifications then doesn't it make sense for whatever force or being that's behind the creation of the SG's to implement some keep an eye on an SG and perhaps try to ease them back to the path of Order?

Anyway, that's what I've got for now, would love to know if you have anything you've thought of.

I'm honestly not sure, though given the descriptions of Star Guardian related stuff I'm afraid for Madoka Magica bollocks later on and I'm NOT OK WITH THAT SOD OFF WITH THAT SHIT.

On the Jinx point though, I'd like to direct attention to one point in particular; Jinx is the only Star guardian with a chest mounted star that's not pure gold; hers has a gold rim but is red.

Also on the familiar's point:

Dunno how literal that is, but I suppose the nature of the familiar could simply depend on the powers of the individual guardians. If we assume that the creature esque familiars and the weapons are one and the same, then the appearance of those creature helpers could be down to how the powers are used and whether having that extra entity there helps them fight. Poppy and Lux can use their weapons to channel all of their powers, where as Janna, Lulu and Jinx use their familiars to do something else beyond what their weapons can do. Perhaps, as you've suggested, it's indicative of inner turmoil or deviation from the cause? A helping hand to bring them back in line, but also perhaps to restrict their powers to prevent them from going rogue? Things to think about.

SPE is "special"

"speed" would be under Agi

I think Poppy and Lux do have helpers. But for Lux it's her wand and Poppy has her hammer.

Edit: Also I love how Jinx's helpers are about duality.

Hmmm. This whole idea is interesting.

Never Trust the cute ones. https://67.media.tumblr.com/af017f70e54622b5131094e9ee8c7073/tumblr_o646h6MKPW1so9b4uo1_500.gif

Those little "helpers" are incubators that are just waiting for Magical Girls to become evil from their use of powers and emotions, then make other Star Guardians fight them and take their power, to preserve the universe from entropy. They are evil, a moral beings, that do horrible hings with no issue behind that. The more you have around you, the more likely you are near your corruption time.

Im pretty sure it's:

  1. STR (Strength)
  2. INT (Intelligence)
  3. AGI (Agility)
  4. SPE (Speed)
  5. ORD (Order)
  6. CHA (Charisma)

Strength is self-explanatory. Those that are Strong are the strongest physically. Intelligence should also be self-explanatory. Those with high intelligence are smarter and potentially wiser than most. Agility is a little different. Agility has to do with quick thinking, flexibility (physical), and how quick you can attack. This is a little different than... Speed which is straight up how fast you can travel. If you can jump quickly and run very quickly, you have high speed. This is different than Agility in that Agility is usually talking about being light-footed and quick to think in battle. Order is, of course, how close they are with rules. Those with more respect to the rules have higher order. Charisma is... yeah. It usually means how easily they can interact with others, in particular others that are not part of the team. However, I may be wrong here since it seems Jinx is high in this... not sure. Wish they would give guidelines here.

SPE (Speed?)

For this to be speed it would have to be Janna 5 Jinx 4.5 Lulu 4 Poppy Lulu 3

Because Janna can hit 600 base ms easily. Maybe it is Special(first letters being SPE and is commonly used to describe the special ability power in rpgs) and because agility is usually used to denote speed and ability to maneuver yourself, and since Janna can fly 100% of the time she would be on top.

Guys, Chaos and Order have been popping out a lot in League related lore lately (Summoners Rift, Mords lore, PROJECT line, This, Azir vs. Xerath....)

{quoted}

Well it kinda is the two defining traits of the protectorate and magelords (at least I think it is).

Yes, you are spot on with that.
