Description
THIS IS A SEMI-OPEN SPECIES! PLEASE GO TOThe Harmony Guards: The Harmony Guards are a species of underground ponies which were created
when the Tree of Harmony was first formed. When it started to grow (which it grows quickly), it wasn't at
it's full magical potential. But when it reached it's full potential, these magical ponies where created from
the roots of the tree to protect it. Harmony Guards all have a special purpose, and their top priority is the
Tree. The Earth Guards tend to the very soil and environment around the Tree, so it stays healthy. The
Unicorn Guards tends to the tree itself, caring for it's branches and keeping the gems as magical as they
can be. The pegasus guards tend to the top of the tree, keeping the flow of magic it shares steady and
controlling any harsh weather so the tree does not get damaged.
Common/Basic Traits:
-Unicorn
-Tree vines sprouting from tail
-Crystal growing from hooves
-Emblem on chest
Uncommon Traits:
-Earth Pony
-Crystal spiraling around horn
-Glowing crystals (at night)
-crystal branches growing on back
Rare Traits:
-Pegasus
-Crystal Antlers
-Glowing Eyes
-crystal branches growing on back and tail
Appearance: Harmony Guards are very elegant. When they walk, it almost seems as if they are always
prancing, even floating. They have a magical aura that practically enchants all who stumble across them.
Their colors usually match which celestial body they are aligned with, and their crystal coats make the
colors sparkle. Harmony Guards can be short or tall, but are usually a little taller (between Princess
Twilight and Cadence). They never have neon colors, usually pastels or darker shades. They can have
markings, but nothing to bold like cheetah print. Freckles (spots), stripes and other shapes can be found
on them.
Society/Habits: Harmony Guards take their roles very seriously. The sun alignment ponies work during the
day, the moon alignments work during the night, and the star alignment work at dusk and dawn, and fill
in during the night and day for anypony unfit to do their jobs. Some ponies have other jobs like regular
ponies, which are typically medical ponies and teachers. When sleeping, Harmony Guards rest further into
the cave where the Tree of Harmony exists.
Lore: The Harmony Guards have existed since the Tree of Harmony has existed, and have performed their
sole purpose of protecting the Tree. When Royal Sisters found the Tree, the Harmony Guards were
honored to meet the beings connected to the tree. Their cutie marks etched on the trunk of this magical
organism. They explained how the gems were so powerful, and they possessed the very magic of
harmony. Celestia and Luna were convinced they could use the elements for purposes of good, but the
Harmony Guards were hesistant on letting them go. But they assumed their magic could fuel the Tree
while the sisters were using the Elements. Little did they know, Celestia and Luna were keeping elements
for longer than expected, and when Discord led his reign, the Harmony Guards failed to keep it's power
up. The whole species disappeared, along with the magic of the tree, and Equestria was soon to be lost of
magic as well. When the Mane 6 returned the Elements, the tree was restored of it's power, and the new
burst of magic sprouted a box, which turned into Twilights castle. Slowly afterwards, the Harmony
Guards returned one by one. Their memories were fuzzy, and have yet to be reintroduced to the
Princesses.
Extra:
-Harmony Guards are immortal, and as long as the tree exists, they exist
-Harmony guards eat plants they retrieve from the Everfree forest. There are ponies designated for the
job.
-Harmony Guards have the same power level, which means every pony has the same power level expect
for the very first HG. They have very strong magic, especially when near the tree.

Can the emblem/crystals be any color, or is there one specific color?
Can harmony guards with different emblems be friends?
Has cross breeding ever occurred?
Is it possible for a guards emblem/crystals to break?
If they can be damaged can they ever heal?
Do the different types of harmony guards have slightly different cultures, or do they all share the same culture?
Do they have any rulers (kings, queens, etc.)?
What happens if a guard is no longer able to perform their job?
Is it possible for a guard to have no emblem?
Do harmony guards have any sort of religion?
Can different emblems have different traits than other emblems?
Can they use manipulative magic (such as telekinesis, or water manipulation)?
Have they ever contacted beings of another species, excluding Celestia and Luna?
Can mutations occur?
Sorry, I'm just curious, I'll be quiet if you want me to.

-Yes, the crystals/emblems can be any color, as long as it goes with the design!
-Harmony Guards with different emblems can be friends.
-Cross breeding cannot occur because HG's do not breed.
-Emblems can scratch and chip, but breaks are more rare because it takes magic as well as brute force to break an emblem. A broken emblem has not happened before, but one has cracked before.
-They can be healed, so the medic HG's would use the magic of the tree's magic to aid in that.
-The different types of Harmony Guards do have their own cultures, since they work at different times, but overall, they do not differ too much.
-They do not have any specific "rulers" but typically, the first 3 HG's ever created are typically the ones in charge. Those 3 can also assign people to be in charge of the jobs (ie. head scavengers, medics, ect)
-If a guard is no longer able to do their job, they go into a "retirement" phase, which is basically like hibernation. These periods are often lengthy. This time allows for the HG to repair and heal, and if they cannot do that, their magic goes back into the tree and they cease to exist.
-It is not possible for a guard to have no emblem.
-Harmony Guards have no religious affiliations but they are taught the History of Equestria, AND their own history which goes back very far.
-Other than the colors, not typically. But they use jewelry and accessories to further differentiate themselves. I want to create a database of typical accessories that each type can wear.
-The unicorn HG's have full range of magic like a regular unicorn (even more powerful), and the regular HG's can use some magic but not a lot. I will make a list!
-They have not come into contact with other species, other than Luna and Celestia. The scavenger HG's have seen other ponies roaming around the Everfree forest, but have stayed hidden.
-Mutations are extremely rare and do not really occur very often.
Thanks for asking those questions!!

What if you want a Harmony Guard that's aligned with the sun, moon, AND stars? What if your HG is more powerful than the very first of the species?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
cloudsabovedawn In reply to YourLocalShipNerd [2016-10-11 21:31:18 +0000 UTC]
That is not possible. Only the first Harmony Guard (which is mine, as I created it) is super powerful and contains hints of all the magics.
Other than that, any other HG must follow the rules stated.
The only this more powerful than the first of the species is the Tree itself.
