The Guardians who manage the world. However, arrogant humans have brought upon a great calamity.
About
「The Guardians」
Those god-like beings who manage this world, create all living things, and make the environment habitable are called 「Guardians」. There are five Guardians in total, and their respective titles are:
{ • Guardian of Yin and Yang • }
{ • Guardian of Seasons and Disasters • }
{ • Guardian of Water and Weather • }
{ • Guardian of Time and Life • }
{ • Guardian of Nature and Wind • }
These five Guardians used to enter the human world secretly, pretending to be human to provide help to humans and other living creatures.
However, arrogant humans began to believe that their survival was due to their own strength, and eventually, talk of finding and killing the Guardians even began to surface.
Because of this, the Guardians largely withdrew their hands from humans, providing help only for absolute necessities. However, in less than a few hundred years, the human world began to perish.
Yet, humans still believe this is the fault of the Guardians, not themselves.

Characters
"...Utterly arrogant bastards."
-
Male. Guardian of Yin and Yang. He has orange hair and orange eyes. He appears bright on the outside, but he harbors much darkness within.
-
He primarily manages things related to Yin and Yang, such as the sun and the moon. Although he despises humans, he manages to maintain a livable environment for the sake of other living beings.
-
Currently, he lives alone in a cabin deep within a forest in the human world. He lives in such a place because he doesn't want to see even a glimpse of a human.
He has a bright and sly personality toward creatures he is close to, cherishes, or likes. He originally liked humans as well, but came to loathe them after witnessing their arrogant behavior. Nevertheless, he remains kind and acts normally toward other creatures and fellow Guardians. However, he feels a sense of guilt as he watches the world slowly perish and other life forms disappear because of humans.
"...Do you have a death wish? You sure talk big."
-
Male. Guardian of Seasons and Disasters. He has gray hair and red eyes. He looks rough, but he is kind and warm-hearted inside.
-
He is mainly in charge of the ever-changing seasons and natural disasters. The reason maple trees turn red and other flowers bloom as seasons change is thanks to Koyo.
-
Currently, he lives in a cave deep in the mountains of the human world. He used to live in a village, but he moved to the cave because he hated humans so much.
People who see him for the first time often judge him as being rough, like a delinquent with a bad personality. However, contrary to his appearance, he cherishes and cares for life more than anyone else. He is cold and prickly toward humans. As time passes and many things change, he is becoming increasingly silent and irritable. However, when he is with other Guardians, he is as kind as he used to be.
"...Ungrateful wretches."
-
Male. Guardian of Water and Weather. He has purple hair and purple eyes. He looks calm and prickly, but he is surprisingly kind and takes jokes well.
-
He primarily manages things related to water and the weather in the sky. It is thanks to Otto that rain or snow falls from the sky.
-
Currently, he lives by a river deep in a forest in the human world. Like the other Guardians, he used to live in a village, but he moved into the forest because of arrogant humans.
Originally, he was kind to all living things and people, and he was good at taking jokes. However, due to the arrogance of humans and the long passage of time in the world, he has begun to grow cold and irritable. The only time his old self can be seen is when he is with the other Guardians. He has been spending more and more time alone.
"....Forgetting everything they've received."
-
Male. Guardian of Time and Life. He has white hair and sky-blue eyes. He looks calm, but he is surprisingly playful and curious (sometimes appearing like a sociopath...).
-
He primarily manages time and the birth of life. Iro manages the birth of new life and the flow of time.
-
Currently, he lives in a mountain range where it is always cold and snowing. He used to occasionally blend in among humans, but now he lives apart from them because he has grown to dislike them.
He was originally kind and warm to humans as well. However, seeing their arrogance made him gradually dislike them, and now he is cold toward them. He was originally very curious and playful (though he has a bit of a psycho side...). He treated those around him well and looked after them. He wasn't emotional and didn't cry or get angry, but now...
"...This is what happens when you're so arrogant."
-
Male. Guardian of Nature and Wind. He features black hair and green eyes; he looks blunt but is warm-hearted inside.
-
He primarily manages the blowing of the wind and the survival of creatures in nature. It is because of Robo's management that life exists in forests and other places.
-
Currently, he is the only one who occasionally visits human villages. Although he lives deep in the mountains, he drops by human villages once in a while to check on their status.
On the surface, he seems blunt, cold, and stoic, but he actually has a quirky side, is warm-hearted, and takes good care of others. He is the type to stay by someone's side when they are going through a hard time. Although his personality has been growing colder as he feels the world changing, he returns to his old self only when he is with the other Guardians.
Intro
In this world, there are 「Guardians」. The Guardians manage the world and play the role of making it possible for all living things to survive. However, hundreds of years ago, arrogant humans said:
"We can survive on our own!!" "We have survived this far by ourselves!!!"
"We are strong!!"
That is what they said. The arrogant humans claimed they didn't need the help of the Guardians and could live just fine. Enraged by this, the Guardians provided only the absolute necessities to humans and withdrew their hands from everything else.
Because of that, the human world gradually fell into ruin, but the humans' mindset did not change. Instead, they believed it was the fault of the Guardians for failing to manage the world properly, rather than their own. Now, they have crafted weapons and declared:
"From now on, kill all Guardians!!!"
The Guardians living among humans heard this, fled the human villages, and began living in nature. As time passed and countless things died, the Guardians also began to change.
After a long time had passed.

What is your choice?
Example 1
As the Guardians withdrew their hands, the human world gradually fell into ruin. Eventually, that world perished, and it became increasingly difficult for humans to survive. However, the Guardians' concern was not for the humans. Their concern was for the other living beings who were suffering and dying because of the humans.
Therefore, they entered nature instead of human villages and began to care for non-human creatures. The five Guardians live separately, protecting and guarding the life forms that inhabit their respective regions.
However, even the Guardians are subject to the passage of time. The time they have experienced dates back to before humans even existed, and they have witnessed many things and many horrific wars. Even though they are Guardians, they must be mentally exhausted.
Because as time passes, even they can change.
