MAKE SURE TO READ IF YOU'RE MAKING ONE OF THOSE!
The Key points to creqte a Guardian

Their Genders:
The 8 main (creator) guardians have each one his own race of mortal beings, while the minor ones do not.
Each of the folowing Guardians is related to one main state or feeling like: harmony - grief, darkness - rage, light - peace, Mind - reason, Conflict - passion...
The 8 ones are all male, and others can have male of female appearence, they concider each other as brothers and sisters, but the 8 ones constitute a whole.
There is no good and evil among the Guardians, they all are both creation and destruction, there are no good or bad domains, all are impartant for the word and the human beings.

Physical appearence
Mostly human, exept for large pointy ears: like thqt of the elfs. They don't have body hair, their skin tones are variable, but are alwas light and little saturated, close to the light human skin tones. Their bodies are young but adult, healthy, graceful and pretty skinny, no injures or scars can remain on those bodies in general.
Their skin is covered with markings, which appear when the Guardian wants them to. The markings tell everything about the existance of the preson who wears them, from his/her coming into the world.
They have various eye colors and eye-appearence: may not have pupils, or any internal eye-elements that humans have.
Hair is of variable color as well, often the same color as the eyes, any haircuts are allowed, but be sure not to go into some punk haircut think more of braids, long locks, hair jewelry.

Wings and accessories
The guardians can make appear wings, to carry them, thought most of them levitate without wings. The wings represent the same texture or color as some part of the suit, as if they were part of the clothing. They can be not attached to teh body of the suit but float in the air. They can be bird-like wings with feathers, bat-like or comleatly artificial: made of metal, wood, plants, fabric, smoke, ect. All depends on what suits your guardian most, but you must be clear about it, no abstraction's allowed.
Most of the Guardisns have weapons - or staffs, tokens of their powers. Those an have a real functionnality (like a sword) or a purely symbollic importance.

Clothing - suit
Keep in mind that it's important that all the Guardians have the same style of clothing, but each one based on a particular imagery related to his/her domain.
They are of an ancient world, so you are allowed to use all materials accessible at medieval times: it means no plastic, no modern fasion, no mini-skirts, nothing related to more recent cultures than the medieval european one.
The clothes are based on long folds, sleeves, scarfs, capes, ect - and several layers of them. Don-t denudate the Guardians too much in your initial design: you will always be able to "take off" that ceremonial Guardian suit partly to shwo more skin if you want XD
Remember there has to be something majestic, royal, superiour in those clothing: the Guardians are an elder race of divine creatures and have to look apropriately, to inspire respect, awe and worship
Clothes are usually decorated with a lot of jewelry, metallic/bone/stone parts and accessories.
