Candidates for: Star Guardian

Well, I'm back with this series as I said and back with the next topic that the people voted for and that is......sigh...star guardian.

OK, before people start yelling (even though this is the boards and the most you can do to that is ! and CAPS) I don't necessarily like the series;** but I didn't say I hate it**. I can see the appeal since magical guardian girl is common in anime and whatnot and I've even watched a bit of Madoka Magica but for the most part it's just not something I can fully get behind (especially in the Star Guardian case with things like Garen and Urgot! Ez worked because it was made in a way that I could take it seriously and they didn't slap a dress on him!)

So what really defines the series? Pretty obvious: girls that have anime look and powers given to them by some almighty powerful entity. Not a hard concept to land down. Make it anime, give it bright pretty colors and you got yourself a set. Oh and also animal companions that turn into weapons I guess. However, one issue that I have is that there is no main villain(s) in the series yet. As far as we have gotten we've only got the void creature recolors from Onslaught but I never really felt like they were a villian. You can argue that Dark Star is a villain of the series but I prefer to think Dark Star/Cosmic are there own separate series. We need an actual main bad guy(s)/(woman/women?) for them to start taking action against.

Current lineup consists ofAhri Ezreal Janna Jinx Lulu Lux Soraka MissFortune Poppy Syndra


Now if we're going to talk about potential candidates for more of the Guardian side then lets face it: they (Annie Zoe Taliyah QuinnDiana LeonaFiora ) might be the only candidates left, at least for females. Male side of things I feel like Taric could make a good choice (and continue that meme of Taric x Ez for those who still care) and maybe AurelionSol could work since **he's literally a guy who forges stars **.

Outside of that though, if we want to start discussing about villains for the series: Evelynn without a doubt is my first candidate. She has great potential of being this Star Guardian turned dark, as with a lot of candidates in my mind, like Elise & Morgana as well, maybe even Varus . Lissandra or Leblanc I can easily see as being the main actual villain behind everything, from corrupting Star Guardians to pulling the strings. Trundle could be like one of those monster henchmen that acts like a lieutenant to the main villain, tries to follow out a plan but gets foiled. Maybe TahmKench could also work. And just for fun, as a reference to Sailor Moon we could through in TwistedFate there as well or something Idk.

Anyways those are just my thoughts and suggestions on the Star Guardian series but what are your thoughts on potential candidates? Discuss below and also vote between which skin series you want to see next (limiting it to two this time).

I have strong, STRONG disagreements with your "only candidates left." Diana, Leona, Fiora, and Quinn just don't fit the series enough to work properly, mainly because they seem to be older and more mature than the girls already in the series. Annie has another problem - she's got a Super Galaxy skin, which is already an anime inspired skin that would conflict heavily with the themes of Star Guardian. All of these ladies are a hard no for me.

Taliyah is a great candidate, and Zoe might be as well. Nami, Riven, Tristana, and Sivir are also very solid choices for the series. Nami and Riven because they are both young and on a soul searching quest. Tristana because she's a Yordle, and fits well, much like Poppy and Lulu. And Sivir, because she's very much tsundere, and she's also on a soul searching quest, though doesn't know it.

Of course, Taric is the penultimate choice for the series, because he is powered by Starlight.

As for villains, it has been numerously confirmed that Dark Stars ARE NOT part of the Star Guardian continuum. The Dark Stars are eldritch space horrors, like Cthullu, and not even remotely close.

Caitlyn Vi Orianna Why do you exclude these from possible candidates? I think they might fit.

Evelynn Zoe would be cool to see Rakan too but i dont think that Xayah would fit the theme, sucks that they are bound at the hip

I'd love to see SG Orianna , and with her new lore, she fits the theme quite well. And while she might already have Dark Star they haven't necessarily linked them together so she could easily have both.

but how about Irelia item 3070 she would be the only one i would buy unless her VU turn her ugly

My thoughts are villains against them only, no event this year.

Would also rather see a different anime tribute line made than more in this.

There, said it without yelling. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Urgot

...

Seriously, Urgot is my first choice for a Star Guardian antagonist. Have him be a big bag muscle villain and call him a Star Destroyer.

We're at the point where adding new Star Guardians would just be absolutely ridiculous. An entire team of guardians is generally enough for a single planet, and the more that show up, the more ill the portents are supposed to be. Having another team of Guardians (assuming you can't have single guardians on their own) would be hard to believe.

Lux could use another one.
