Chapter one: Ahamkara… but, different?
(Cliché line incoming)In deepest darkest reaches of space, on an unknown planet where the sun the moon do not set. On the blisteringly hot sandy side of the planet lies a Ghost, with it's light almost flickering out. Suddenly a wave of light energy washers over the entire planet and, subsequently the Ghost as well.

"... Huh?... Wha-what?... Why is everything so dark, am I still in space?... No, I think I'm buried underneath sand, a lot of sand…. *Sighing* Bugger.
As the Ghost finally pushed its way out of the sandy dunes of the scorched side of the planet, it's scanners picked up on a signal for a potential Guardian candidate. This was such a exciting and joyful discovery for the little Ghost, they almost fainted. (can they faint?). "Yahoo!, I've finally found the one!" The Ghost said… until they noticed it was practically on the dark side of the planet. "Ok, it's not that far away." they said. "Well, compared to the distance I've already traveled at least.".
As the Ghost drawed ever so closer to the destination, only one thing was on their mind… well it probably more like two, the second one being. "Why is this taking so bloody long to get there?" And the first one being "I wonder what kind of person they'll be? Hopefully strong and courageous." Well, prepare to be disappointed little Ghost… sorry about that.
Skipping ahead a bit to when the Ghost actually found their Guardian, what's left of them anyways. "Wow" the Ghost said in a somewhat surprised tone, "At the most I expected for you to be nothing but bones but… you're just dust, all dust and bone fragments… Welp I've waited this long, better than nothing I guess." So the Ghost began the process of reviving the potential Guardian.
It took a bit longer than expected to actually revive the Guardian, but during that time the Ghost decided to D.N.A test on some of the weird looking bone fragments to pass the time. "Huh, Why's the multiple sets D.N.A.?... Human, pretty normal, Awoken, ok parents are probably mixed race nothing wrong with that...Oh, Ahamkara that's probably what the other weird looking bone fragments are…*scoffs* it's not like they're going to turn into some sort of hideous amalgamation of all this messed up D.N.A.?" That's exactly what happened.
As the final pieces of the Guardian grew into place and the once lifeless body began to sit up and speak their first words. "Why is it so hot here!?" The Guardian shouted, "And what's with all this sand, it's irritating!" They continue to (annoyingly) complain about the awfulness of the area, until the Ghost interrupted with their own complaint. "You are hideous, wow. What's with all the feathers and scales? You look like a gene splicing experiment gone… Wrong…" The Ghost sighs and mutters under their breath "I just had to say it didn't I."
"Bit rude." the Guardian said. "I don't comment on how a, thing such as—" "I'm a lady" said the Ghost. "What?" blurted the Guardian. "I'm a lady, can't you tell?". "No, you literally look like a floating ball. How could I possibly tell?.". "whatever feather boy." "See, there you go again with another rude comment, you just can't help yourself.". This argument continued until they reached a old golden age research building… it was a very long walk.
