Description
Name: Soulguard

Species: Ostiarusapien

Homeworld: Ostiar (Universe 51709 - "Minecraft")*

Personality: A being who just stumbles and wanders aimlessly, Soulguard knows only one thing; If it makes noise, it needs to be destroyed. As such, he will relentlessly pursue any sound he hears, be it natural, artificial or otherwise, and use the full extent of his might to destroy whatever made the sound. However, Soulguard is also a tortured being, his body overtaken by a strange substance that no one seems to be able to rid him of, forcing him to carry on in perpetual agony.

Powers/Abilities:
-Enhanced Hearing, Speed, Strength, Acrobatics, Agility, Dexterity, Endurance, Durability and Stamina
-Metal-Shredding Claws
-Sharp "Ears"/Antlers
-Echolocation
-Wall Crawling
-Animakinesis
-Soul Absorption
-Soul Shield
-Soul Empowerment
-Soul Conversion
-Soul Forging
-Soul Healing
-Limited Audiokinesis***
-Sonic Scream
-Oxygen Independence
-Space Survivability

Weaknesses:
-Soulguard cannot speak. Therefore, he cannot convey his earlier described agony, only wail endlessly or growl, shriek and making strange clicking noises when agitated.**
-Without Skulk to act as his eyes and relay him signals that pick up noise, Soulguard is left to wander aimlessly until something can steer him in the right direction, be it by accident or on purpose.
-Soulguard relies on his hearing and sense of smell in order to navigate, as he's blind. Due to this, high-pitched frequencies and strong odors can disorientate him to the point of blind stumbling and mindless rage.
-Soulguard cannot track targets that are in naturally loud areas, such as waterfalls, as they drown out other noises, and he is smart enough to not just slash and attack the water aimlessly.
--However, this does not stop him from being distracted by pointless noise, such as an arrow being fired from a bow, a thrown snow ball or the chirping of birds.
-Soulguard's Antlers are fragile and if they're destroyed, he will be left helpless and unable to navigate.

Trivia:
-Soulguard's species and homeworld names come from Ostiarius, the Latin word for "Gatekeeper".
-Soulguard is based off a Warden from Minecraft's The Wild Update (which is out now).
-Ostiar (* located in the same solar system as Earth 51709 and taking the place of Mars) is a large swamp planet covered in perpetual night, deep caves and a strange substance known as Skulk that can be seen covering ruined buildings and the ground for miles in every direction.
--None know how the Skulk got their and whether it evolved naturally or was an artificial creation. All that is known about it is that it's clearly an invasive force that the Ostiarusapiens want nothing to do with, and it's clearly either a result or byproduct of society collapsing on Ostiar, as evidenced by the ruined buildings that dot the landscape.
-**The clicking noises are the natural tongue of the Ostiarusapiens, and they communicate with others of their own kind via picking up the clicking with their large antler-like ears. As such, they'll instinctively never attack one of their own kind.
-Ostiarusapiens served as a primary DNA template for the Olimarans as they created the Silenarians, hence why the two species are similar.
-Despite their homeworld being in a different universe compared to the prime 77 reality, Ostiarusapiens do show signs of convergent evolution with the Talpaedans in terms of general anatomy. The reason for this remains unknown.
-***The Audiokinesis of a Ostiarusapien is tied to their anger and stress levels, and only usable if sufficiently enraged. Once enraged, they will let out a sonic scream attack that bypasses most conventional forms of defense and can kill most species-- Other Ostiarusapiens included-- in a single strike.
