The only member of their species that usually lives in isolation is the first guardian. They are usually the oldest, biggest or strongest.
The first guardian in my community of Teratheriums is named Motherboard, otherwise known as Mobo. (Previous name was KCID but was changed to fit)

The second highest guardian is the one who focuses on all the patches and fixes that need to be done in their community. They are known for fixing the architecture, providing parts for deteriorating pieces of their home, along with the ability to summon platforms to help them to build. Usually this guardian is the smartest of the four, always planning ahead for any possibility. Sometimes, they also store backups of sny codes they think is necessary.
The second guardian in my community is named Data.

The third highest guardian is incharge of taking care of the community and overall spirit of the people. They are usually the most important member, connection the people and helping them in creative ways that helps keep the city alive.
The third guardian in my community is named Source.

The final guardian is incharge of security. They are put incharge of the firewall and watch for any viruses attepting to infect the community. They are also incharge of the flow of information that gets in and out of the community. They are usually the youngest member.
The fourth guardian in my community is named Gateway.

☆The Guardians

Mobo:  The oldest member of her community, Mobo watches for intruders from outside of the firewall. Her task is to fight anyone who is a threat to her community. Although she is rarely seen by her people, they give her a lot of praise when she first fought off a static that had gotten into the router. Though, mostly, she does nothing, and feels sad when weeks go by and she sees nothing.

Data: When the community was first founded, he was quick to get ot work on the buildings and structures. After he was done, his people rarely needed him. While he is near his people, he usually stays a distance from them. Data is the most introverted out of the four.

Source: The most liked guardian out of the four, Source is incharge of connectiong the community, and he did that by leading the medical technology, becoming the best doctor in the community. They are good with figuring out whats wrong with someone along eith being able to make others smile. They are dating Gateway.

Gateway: The newest member of the guardians, only being one for a few years after Source recommended her to his peers. She is incharge of security, however, she isnt the best of it. She mainly spends her time sitting at the firewall listening the outside world. She is very insecure, due to her being blind, and often feels like she gets judged harshly by her community for not being the right fit due to her disabilities.

☆The Disease

The disease is the only contagious infection that took over the community. Most call the infected chitosaita
The first few victims that came to the hospital were different than their usual self. They were quick to infect Source when they got to the hospital, and once Source was down, the whole community fell into darkness.

The virus entered the community from an outsider named Virus who got their virus in by [REDACTED]

Virus is also able to transfer infected chitosaita to the outside world for a temporary amount of time.

He made the virus to combat the upcoming static attack. He felt that the Terathuriums had spent too much time and energy on their medical technology rather than their weapons.

Anyone infected tends to be aggresive, with a need to kill anything, even nonstatic things.

The guardians are still seen as leaders, just with different roles now.
