story
⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ and this is why i have decided ˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆
guardian was an absolutely dreadful dragon in his lifetime. from petty crime when he was a young dragonet, to worse, deadlier crime as an adult, he wasn't someone you'd be exactly fond of. despite this, his parents loved him dearly and tried to instill the best morals they could into him. if only they had succeeded.
as an adult dragon, he started a crime ring. with his merry band of dragons, he'd kill any dragon for a price. he assassinated queens, overlords, and anyone who dared to wrong his clients. through this business, he met a beautiful dragoness named starling. they grew a mutual fondness for each other, and eventually fostered a singular egg. 
the power kick he got from this seemingly normal occurrence in a dragons life was great. he felt as if he'd be able to trample cities to the ground. through this newfound pride, he made his way to steal a valuable item from one of the sandwings only animus'. a scroll. a simple scroll, which could grant him anything he wanted.
he, of course, gained this item. he marched his way back to his hideout with all of his partners and his wife to flaunt it, as you'd usually do. however, their reaction was not what he wished. they were concerned, as none knew how much damage it could do, or even how to use it.
out of pure anger, guardian decided he'd write a spell to kill all in the room who had disagreed with him. what he didn't know, is his darling wife who he'd do anything for would be counted in as on who "disagreed with him".
he stood over the bodies of all his friends, and his wife. the only dragon left in the batch was a singular black skywing- his childhood best friend, foxtail. with tears in his eyes guardian ran up to foxtail. his mind was racing, regret and sorrow as he looked back upon his now deceased wife. he begged foxtail to just kill him, he couldn't look at what he had done for another second.
foxtail refused, multiple times. guardian kept insisting, his voice cracking as he cried for what seemed like the first time in his entire life. foxtail hesitated once again, but did what his friend was asking. he ended his best friends life, and was eventually the only one left standing in that room.
with his death, guardian still lived on. he still had a child he needed to find and take care of. he took on a ghostly form, with grey-blue scales and large bright cyan cuts from where he had been killed. with this new form, he took on an entirely new person. new thoughts, new opinions, and an astounding resentment towards his previous self.
he remembered a lot of the the good times. those nights where his mother would squeeze his talons and tell him that she loved him before he went to bed, the times he'd get in trouble for staying out too long to play with foxtail , and when he waited patiently next to his mothers nest waiting for his new siblings to come into the world. that, however, was overshadowed by the bad times. clawing at his mother for not letting him do what he want, yelling at his dear wife for something she had no control over, and the sheer amount of death and destruction he had caused.
he'd sit and just cry. cry because of what he had caused. he knew that wasn't him, but at the same time, that was him. but he'd always get back up again, knowing he had a son who needed him most. 
when he eventually found his son, living with his friend foxtail. he attempted to talk to them, but he just couldn't. they didn't look his way, they didn't even notice him putting a talon on their shoulder. he just sat there, watching, but knowing they couldn't see him. he grew accepting of this fact, and realized this is just how it'd be. he became fond of just watching his son grow, even if he knew deep down his son would never know his real father. 
eventually, though, he faded away. his goal was met, as he knew his son was fine. he was safe. he could finally rest.
appearance
⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ to leave your house and home unhaunted ˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆
while alive, guardian resembled a fairly average diamond district skywing. orange, almost brown scales with a tan underbelly. darker stripes of scales are located on his neck, with speckles dotted around elsewhere on his body. a frill of feathers lays around each of his ears, one of the features of diamond district skywings. he sports bright cyan blue eyes, which is a common occurrence in his district. his wings are coloured tan and have large feathers instead of webs, much more useful for long travels.
once guardian died, he seemed almost like a mist rather than a solid dragon. his colored were monochrome, and if you looked closely you could see hints of blue in his scales. large open wounds were located on his throat and face, from where foxtail had injured him. instead of bleeding red blood, a bright cyan substance that perfectly matched his eyes oozed from the gashes. 
personality
⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ you dont need poltergeists for sidekicks ˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆
in his life, guardian was, as stated before, just a dreadful dragon to be around. he'd snap at someone for the littlest things, or just because he felt like it. he chose to use violence over his words, opting to fight instead of talking it out with someone. he always kept his head up high and saw himself above all other dragons.
during his time in the afterlife, however, is a completely different story. he gained a new perspective on all the horrible things he had done, and he hated it. he hated who he was. he wanted to be different, but he never really got the chance.
