Guardian Yokai

The Guardian Yokai, or known as the Guardians of Japan due to not technically being all Yokai in nature, are an assembly of powerful beings that have sworn to uphold Japan's existence and defend it from threats, be they material or more moralistic. Some are well known, others more mysterious. All of them can compete with the Wanderers and should not be underestimated.
=== Guardian of Wrath ===
Title held by Speaker Li, the direct voice of the Emperor on most occasions. He has sworn an oath to the defense of Japan and more specifically the Emperor. Should any tangible threat manifest itself undermining the Emperor without due cause or otherwise bring threat of harm to the country, he is duty bound to respond with force to quell it. White Tiger Nekomata.
=== Guardian of Peace ===
Sworn to protect the people and prosperity of Japan, but is unaligned with the Imperial Family. Should ruin befall the land, this Guardian gives their all to shelter them and ensure a future may continue for the people.
=== Guardian of Land ===
Protector of the things that dwell upon the land, reigning over all that pertains to its use, cultivation, and habitation. Must be consulted on all such matters. Tolerant but long remembering of slights, culminating in violent outbursts that tear down the very firmament of the heavenly mounts.
=== Guardian of Sky ===
Protector of the skies, and the air that is the life of all things. Grants swift travel through the skies for the worthy, and does not permit rogue elements to travel by air over Japan.
=== Guardian of Sea ===
Protector of the seas, the rains, and storms. Fishing, travel, and usage of the waters of Japan must be met with this Guardian's approval. Temperamental and can lash out at the nation should it be provoked. 
=== Guardian of Magic ===
A Guardian unaligned, sworn to protect and retain knowledge of the arcane and mystic, entrusting only the worthy with their Blessing of Knowledge.
=== Guardian of Soul ===
The White Oni Chieftain, Yurasaha Of Light. Mysterious, aloof, and unpredictable. She is the least restricted of the Guardians, able to act against the Emperor and one of the few that can sanction interference with the Emperor and their appointed heads of state. Believed to be tasked with preserving the soul of Japan itself and never allowing it to fall to avarice, sloth, and malice. Described by the few who have met her as both serene as a calm winter day and tyrannical like the roar of a typhoon, she is a lover of peace and conflict in equal measure. Few can withstand the direct onslaught of this Guardian should she choose to take up arms with the intent to kill. An alternate name given to her is the Bringer of Death and Life, due to her association with sakura flowers and her mysterious twin blessings and curses, the Blessing/Curse of Life and Death.
