Do you make up lore/backstories for your guardians?
Post Body

I know canonically we're "The Guardian", but I enjoy playing around with the idea of being someone else. So here's what I've come up with.

Name: Erin-4 aka "The Spacewalker"

Race: Exo

Class: Warlock

Age: Around 270-ish (she lost count)

Story: Erin-4 has been a guardian for a long time, she earned her nickname after crash landing somewhere in the reef, with no way to contact other gaurdians, she managed to blink from asteroid to asteroid and meditated when she needed to rest. She was later picked up by a trade ship and returned to the city. Since then, she goes on these "spacewalks" from time to time when she needs a break.

She generally distrusts the Vanguard, believing them to be incompetent and out of touch. She reluctantly sided with the Drifter, but considers this a temporary alliance.

In terms of her abilities, she mainly channels void and solar light, but rarely arc, she says that Arc "doesn't agree with her".

Her ghost goes by the name "Cupcake", Cupcake is very shy, and doesn't like to socialize with guardians or other ghost.

She rarely competes in the Crucible, she says she does not approve of it, believing it to be a waste of time, though the true reason is that she is not very good at fighting other guardians.

Name: Blue (true name not known)

Class: Titan

Race: Awoken

Age: 107

Blue gets her name from the Blue hue of her skin, hair, and eyes. Blue is a Titan through and through, she believes in the City and The Vanguard. She started out patrolling the walls and protrecting the people of the city for many years, but after the Red War, she has started branching out and exploring the system.

Once she found the Dreaming City, she was struck by it's beauty and it's mysteries. She also felt a sense of familiarity, after all, it is the home of the Awoken.

These days she mostly splits her time between The Last City, and The Dreaming City. She considers both of them her home, and wants to protect both.

Her ghost goes by the name Terrance, or Terry for short. Terry is energetic and playful, quick go crack a joke to lighten the mood. Terry cannot stand loneliness, and will often rush to ressurect Blue the moment she falls in battle, this has lead to some very close calls.

Name: Sven Olsen

Race: Human

Class: Hunter

Age: 232

Sven Olsen used to spend his time in the most dangerous regions of the system, dancing with death on the daily, but after the Red War, he considers himself "retired". He claims that his brush with mortality "humbled" him, but other hunters call him a coward.

He spends most of his time in the City's Outskirts and Crucible, tutoring and guiding new guardians. He has become a Crucible star, and a favourite of many, but declines sponsorship deals from the city's foundry's.

His ghost his called Lars, Lars disapproves of Sven's new direction in life, he misses the swashbuckling adventures, but he would be lying if he doesn't enjoy the new shells Sven buys him with his crucible winnings.

Comments

I like to imagine my Hunter enjoys only two things, talking in jet noises and murder. I always joke with my friend that my Titan lets his ghost do all the talking but Ghost talks like Terry Crews and acts like a hypeman in the style of the Old Spice commercials.
