"Well, before the world changed dramatically, I was a particle physicist, dedicated to pioneering unknown scientific fields. In 39998 A.D., the Particle Accelerator Laboratory captured a particle that we had never discovered before, whose properties completely defied the laws of physics we had known before. It just appeared out of nowhere, without any portents. We had not found it in any of the thousands of experiments we had conducted in the past, and now it suddenly appeared in our view.
Over the next few days, repeated experiments confirmed its existence. At that time we were joking that the edifice of physics had collapsed so suddenly, but none of us knew that it was an omen, a harbinger of disaster.
Six months later, Nikola Felix, that genius engineer, issued a grave warning in a public report, he was uncharacteristically emotional and strongly advocated the development of self-defense weapons, as you know, his voice was suppressed in the end, and no one cares anymore, but I could vaguely sense a hint of anomaly
The day of [Undisclosed], 39999 A.D. changed my life in a sense. I was driving home after work as usual, I lost consciousness after a sudden flash of light. When I regained consciousness, I found myself lying in a hospital bed – almost unscathed. People of the Aerospace Agency found me and said that an unidentified object had entered the atmosphere 3 days earlier and disintegrated midway, and that I had been hit by one of the fragments. Although they said it was a fragment they hadn't been able to find any residual material - except for my scrapped car. This is very confusing, isn't it? I thought the same way at the beginning, I just felt that God saved my life. But since then, I started to have some strange dreams, they haunted me for a long time, I don't know why I saw those images, but it seems to be connected with the anomalous results of the lab 10 months ago.
I started to have premonitions, very bad ones. At the same time, I noticed that my body was undergoing some incredible changes, and excluding those visible to the naked eye, I seemed to be able to start generating some kind of energy, which was later confirmed to be generated by the particles we found earlier. But at that time, my understanding of my ability was limited to that, and I did not know that it was a power that could destroy the world ......
In 40,000 A.D., after leaving its last message, Wahrheitsstein, the Stone of Truth, disappeared into the sky as a light, leaving behind astonished people.
We are no longer under the shelter of our creators.
Six months later, the calamity that we will never forget came ......
After all, the flames of war burned to our pure land.
Although the war ended unexpectedly, we paid a terrible price. Felix was proved right, our civilization had never experienced war, lacked the weapons to defend itself, and we were like lambs to be slaughtered in the face of the invaders. As people rebuilt our world, they also realized the dangerous situation they were in. We knew those monsters would come back. Since then people have been making weapons, almost gathering the strength of all over the world - to protect our home.
I also gradually began to know that our universe was on the verge of collapse, and the results of that experiment a few years ago were a sign of that. Sometimes I blamed myself for not discovering the truth earlier.
And after that accident I realized that this power was coming from beyond the unknown realm. In 40001 A.D., People from the army found me, and the leader was an officer named Canis. 'We're forming a special squad, and we need your help.'
It was a very torturous internal struggle. I'm a peace-loving person, as you know, and what we do is to study science rather than killing on the battlefield. Not to mention that I had never even touched a gun.
But since the accident that day, everything seems to be doomed. Although I did not lose my family, I had witnessed the horror of my people being massacred. I knew very well how tiny we were in the huge universe, and it was ridiculous to pin our hopes on the help of those distant interstellar civilizations. If I could protect my family and people but I choose to flee, then I might really be a coward, right?
After that, I gained a new identity and discovered that I was not the only ‘chosen one’. I'm still that physicist, but I am even more of a guardian now. To be honest, the busy life of working for both parts is much more tiring than before, and I have to start finding ways to close those wormholes with other scientists while training and performing tasks. We sometimes sigh that life has become harder and harder, and maybe one day we will die on the battlefield. But this is my duty. We are the most powerful weapon, far better than any guns or missiles.
As long as we guardians are still there, those filthy things will never step into our homeland any further. No matter what they are, we will kill them all! "

——Rakan

Part of the narrative of “”The Third Guardian”.

"Obsidian Squad-Rise"

So this is the very first commission I did for Rakan featuring his character. Really thank you for giving me the chance!

I brought his character image into the huge story universe I had been planning, and gave him the character background that I had imagined - he used to be a scientist, after accidentally acquiring some kind of superpower, when facing the invasion of alien creatures he decided to put on armor to defend his homeland like all the other four guardians… Okay my English really sucks.
Although there are still many unsatisfactory things - I really need to improve my skills, I think this should be my first step in unfolding my own story universe.
