Fateworld. As such, characters rarely develop in Guardian, and when they do, it means very little to the overarching story.

From one perspective, simply naming the player character “Guardian” works well for an open-ended multiplayer game like Fate or Fate 2because it doesn't force a specific background, personality, or name on the players and allows each player to feel like they are an equal and necessary part of putting down the main conflict.
