Kämpfer

Rated Mature for bent gender themes.
There are forces outside that which we see. Forces of good and evil that fight each other for control. For many millennia, these forces battled on a separate plane of existence. One small section of the evil forces stationed themselves on a plane close to our planet; their evil acts affected our plane of existence, causing many problems throughout the years. Seeing this, a section of the good forces came to defend our planet from these problems; they came to call themselves the Guardians, and dubbed their enemies simply as the Evils.
But a few centuries ago, the Evils discovered a way to enter our plane, causing even more horrible catastrophes in the world. Unable to directly manifest in our plane, the Guardians figured out a way to defend against the Evils. By bestowing power-filled bracelets to certain humans, these super-powered people could then fight off the evil minions, bringing peace to the land. The Guardians dubbed these people Kämpfer, literally 'Champions.'
The bracelets directly tied into the type of power the people received. The males would get red bracelets, based on physical fighting, and would be able to summon magical weapons to fight. The females, on the other hand, received blue bracelets, which allowed them to conjure magical spells of a certain type.
For many years, the Kämpfer would spring into action whenever evil found its way into the world. But after a time, while the Evils were busy planning, the Kämpfer started getting restless, and longed to use their power. Before long, the Kämpfer began fighting each other, trying to prove themselves better than the other. Unable to interfere, the Guardians watched, powerless, as the Kämpfer fought each other. Their power not only affected each other, but also the surrounding areas, causing massive death and destruction in the wake of the battles.
As the Kämpfer died off, either by old age or by being killed, the Guardians transferred their power to a new generation in hopes that they would not succumb to the same dark urges their predecessors did. Unfortunately, human nature doesn't change, and the Guardians knew they had to do something to stop the needless fighting.
Improving on their initial design, they created new white bracelets, unlike the colored two, that would be placed on unsuspecting people. When a conflict was detected between the other Kämpfer, these bracelets would activate, summoning a White Kämpfer from the person. The difference was the person who was host to a White Kämpfer had no idea that they were, thus they would not know about the power and be tempted to use it. On the other hand, this lack of connection to a person meant that the White Kämpfer were emotionless killing machines, hunting and killing the conflicting Kämpfer without thought or remorse. After a few of these White Kämpfer encounters, the Guardians were pleased to see that the other Kämpfer rarely fought each other.
It has been many centuries since the White Kämpfer were created, and now a new generation of Kämpfer have been chosen, this time in Tokyo, Japan. Not wanting to interfere directly anymore, the Guardians created avatars that would help inform new Kämpfer of their new identity and powers. These have been created in the form of animated stuffed animals and distributed to the chosen people over time.
Now the last of the chosen ones are about to be awoken. The last bracelets have made their way to their targets. They are about to enter the world of the Kämpfer, and must learn from their avatars and the Kämpfer that have already been awoken. Even in their confusion and shock, they must all learn to work together, for they are the new champions of the Guardians, the new saviors of humanity. They are...
Kämpfer
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Basically, you're one of the new generation of Kämpfer, the champions of the Guardians, chosen and given a stuffed animal avatar (it can move and talk to you) to guide you. The night upon receiving the avatar, your bracelet appears on you and you become your Kämpfer form, with the avatar explaining everything above. When you're new, the transformations happen under heavy emotional feelings or a nearby active Kämpfer, and can last for a couple hours up to an entire day; after a time you learn to control the changes, as quickly as a week or as long as a month.
