There always was, and always is. There will be forever hold. Of the power of the cosmic balance in the universe, as The Darkness comes, The Light... it will always hold.

- Mysterious Deciphered Message



The Golden Age. The Rebirth of mankind's hope. A once doomed constellation and solar system, attacked and consumed by Darkness. The arrival of alien life and evil incarnations of regime and war. The Darkness came for humanity, but was also received by something else. Something greater, something pure of Light. The Traveler, a large sentient terrestrial being that came to us in the hour of need. His Light cleansed the Solar System of all impurities of both planet and Darkness alike, giving man the freedom and faith to expand, to use his gifts and Light to transform the system into colonized civilizations. From the dawn of a new era of mankind... The Light gave them cosmic power, the power of universal energy. These beings fought and protected mankind in Light and hope. They became Guardians.

The Collapse. The cataclysm of human history that almost saw that the end of the species. The Darkness retaliated evil and attacked humanity all over the Solar System, pushing them back to Earth, their original home. Droves of lives lost in peril. But the Traveler and his Light began to fight back against Darkness. His Light repeled the dark forces from Earth, and amongst the Solar System, paying the ultimate sacrifice, and suffering ultimate damage. Leaving humanity with its technology and gifts, The Traveler entered a stasis to contain the remaining Light it has left. Before it did, it created Ghosts, fragments of Light that sought out Guardians to protect the last of humanity.

The Dark Age. Remnants of The Collapse are now scoured.
Vast suffering and survival of the primal ensued. The Fallen arrives, a pirate alien race of creatures built on scavenging and harvesting races and planets for their resources. They destroy London. Humans run into the void, and are exposed to The Darkness. They reject Earth and become The Awoken, shaped and reformed.
The Exo machines from The Golden Age emerge once again with severed memories, as Ghost travel to find those first Guardians. Rangers protected Earth from alien and evil, while The Guardians were lost. The first reborn by The Traveler become ruthless Warlords, feeding on power. But a fellow warrior named Radegast developed what he called a Fireteam to band together and stop the Warlords from anarchy. One Warlord, Fellwinter joins the warriors and attempts to broker peace, being betrayed and revived by a Ghost to stop the remaining chaos on Earth. The remaining warriors become what's known as Titans.

The City Age. Survivors and protectors from The Collapse journey to right below the dormant Traveler. A safe haven was formed, called The Last City. Factions formed of the Last City with differently ideals on society. The Consensus granted peace to the factions, that they make band together in the last place of humanity to fight to onward threat. The Vanguatd forms after the wake of guardians fending off The Last City in a decisive victory, when all seemed but lost. And today.

Today you are a new age. A remnant of the past, and a catalyst for the future. You are guardian, the Light of the Traveler.

This Destiny RP will feature canon content from the game and universe, but will also be an original story arc featuring our characters created. Be respectful and very mature OOC, and have fun and RP to your heart's content. With that being said, here are a few rules:

1. Each character will have ONE subclass only from the Titan, Hunter, or Warlock class.

2. You may choose a race of Human, Awoken, or Exo for your character.

3. For the sake of this story and RP, multiple main characters will not be allowed, but you may use and interact with NPCs

4. No Gary/Mary sues obviously. This universe has enough power and history to create something truly original.

5. Any ideas or input about the story feel free to message me or post OOC for suggestions and comments!

6. The beautiful thing about Destiny is, with The Light, a guardian can die and be reborn, however. IF you die in this RP you will be reborn with no memories of the prior life, and must essentially start from scratch skill wise. So, don't die by doing anything just nonsensical plot wise or character wise.

7. This RP will be divided into Chapters. Each chapter will be it's on story or arc, but will pick up from the previous adventures.

8. Exotics and engrams will be treated like rare relics as they are lore wise, so in order to gain access to them and use them they must be decrypted or exclusively attained (which will be some in RP events where exotics and such will be referenced or even used)

9. I will approve all CS': make sure the sheet is fully fleshed out and made unique by you. I probably will not take everyone if there's a lot, but I won't be shunning everyone necessarily either.

10. It's Destiny. Have fun in Cayde fashion!

Human - Sapient species native to planet Earth. Tough, smart, and resilient whose spirit is unrivaled.

Weight: 125 lbs.

Faction: Cryptarchy
Ghost's Name: N/A

Traits[3]: Ingenious. Honest. Strong-Willed.
Flaws[3]: Aloof. Forceful. Stubborn.

Skills: Engram and Data encryption and decryption, solving very complex problems, in depth knowledge of the Awoken race as well as the ages following the Collapse (historian), secretly very adept at close quarters combat, capable of this strange talent to intimidate/coerce others with her eyes, technology proficiency (weapons to computers to Vex tech), Expert in Earth languages as well as Fallen Tongue, finally...she's a great culinary craftsman.

Bio: Sayya joined the Vanguard after being rescued by a fireteam in the Cosmodrome, almost being torn apart by Fallen enemies. From there, she was returned to the Last City where she started to become a household name with identifying and operating Golden Age technology, making her An invaluable asset. She was shortly taken to The Vanguard Tower where she was interviewed by Ikora Rey, learning that the seemed damsel was actually a brilliant mind. She was referred to Vanguard Cryptarch by Ikora to begin studying under him, while also training under the Vanguard Academy. It was here she met and learned of the Guardians chosen and to be chosen by the ancient and mysterious Traveler. The academy class she's about to graduate with are all tough and talented, but as the only one without a goal for The Light, something still mysteriously resonates from her...

Name: Calvin Morro
Race: Awoken Male
Age: 55
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 190lbs

Guardian Class & Subclass: Hunter | Gunslinger
Faction: Vanguard
Ghost's Name: Willump "Will"

Traits[3]: Confident | Resourceful | Funny
Flaws[3]: Cocky | Stubborn | Procrastinates

Skills: The ability to survive outside of the Last City living off of what he brought and can forage, build "shelter" and basic survival skills that may be needed. Is a crackshot, able to hit various targets at various ranges with a wide arrange of weapons--preferring to use Scout Rifles, Handcannons, and Sniper Rifles. Knows how to make himself laugh.

Bio: Calvin has no memories of his past life or what he was doing on the planet Earth when his ghost, Will, had found him and brought him back from the dead. He was chosen by the traveler, out of all the other warriors of time who had died and could have been brought back to life and it was him found in the backend waters of Earth. It was all a shock to the reborn Awoken and Will had done his best to bring him up to speed on the current situation on the Galaxy and that they needed to find a ship and get back to the Last City.

Calvin was now one with the Light, becoming a Guardian and joining the ranks of the Vanguard when introduced to Commander Zavala, Cayde and Ikora. He was a Hunter and fell underneath the command of the Hunter Vanguard, Cayde-6.

His first few missions were centered on Earth, scouting and assassinating a Fallen Captain who was causing a stir. He successfully killed the Fallen Captain by putting a solar round from his Golden Gun into the Captain's head.

Calvin had picked up on a few of Cayde's tendencies after working underneath him. Some of those being cocky, or full of himself and learning how to make himself laugh in situations where others wouldn't even tell jokes. He isn't as 'dumb' as Cayde, though he believes that is all an act by Cayde.

He has returned to the Last City with the news from Commander Zavala and Cayde that they are going to need him and a fireteam for a new mission.

Name: Damon Stride
Race: Human
Age: 22
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 210 pds

Guardian Class & Subclass: Hunter Nightstalker
Faction: Future war cult
Ghost's Name: Spector

Traits[3]: Confident | Tactical | Stratagist
Flaws[3]: Overly Confident| Over Analysts | doesn't belive in deplomacy.

Skills: a true hunter in every sense of the word. He can turn any terrain into his advantage by setting up traps, and disappearing into the background. Master in Gorilla tactics, cracked shot, skilled Assassin and Statagist.

Bio: Damon was chosen like the others he was suddenly concious. His mind was in a haze as he stumbled out of the wreckage he was pinned under. His eyes finally focused on a floating, talking cube, Spector as he would later be called. Spector explained that he had been searching for Damon for a while and that he'd been chosen by the travelog to become a Guardian.

Damon was accepted as a new Guardian, he was later assigned as a hunter. He seemed to have an affinity for it especially the way of the shadowstalker. He was highly skilled praised by Cayde-6, which led to him becoming quite Confident in his skills. He decided to take it to the next level and developed other skills that would assist in his missions.

He spent time with Zavala learning the ways of a commander. He spent time with Ikora learning tactics and Stratagy. He spent weeks at a time in the forests and jungles learning Guerrela warefare. He learned how to truly disappear into his surroundings.

When he was among the other guardians he would remain silent as political matters would come up. He didn't believe in most of their deplomacy ideals he believed War was always in the future and they needed to be ready, so he joined the future war cult faction.

I would very much like to use a character concept I never got to use in a previous Destiny RP due to it being inactive.

Said character is a mixture between Fallen and a human Guardian.
 
I have no way to get a picture of my guardian in destiny, however, as I'm at Uni and my Xbox is at home.

Hmm how would that work...like biological sex?

XD The plotline we had planned was that she was captured and had Fallen DNA fused with her regular human DNA, giving her some aspects of the Fallen (such as eyes, and an extra set of arms being the main two).

Name: Felix - 9
Race: Exo
Age: does it matter? I'm not getting any older.
Height: 6' 5"
Weight: 210 lbs

Guardian Class & Subclass: Titan Striker.
Faction: Vanguard
Ghost's Name: Jody.

Traits[3]: Intelligent | Creative | High-spirited.
Flaws[3]: Blunt | Can't say no to a challenge | Hates when people beat around the bush.

Skills: A warrior born. Felix is skilled in near all weapons; though his preference is close range. He is also good with explosives, and regularly carries the gear to take down large objectives/opponents. also skilled at engineering and machinery. all of the gear that has passed through his hands have been modified in one way or another.

Bio: When he was reborn Felix had little memory of who he was, or where he was. Emerging from the remains of a crashed ship he set out with his only companion, Jody, the ghost that had revived him and began guiding him to the last city. The journey was longer than most guardians, mostly due to the fact that he was a continent away and in the middle of the great plains.
On his journey he learned much. And while at first it was peaceful, he soon began to be harried by Fallen who were dead set on capturing him. while he was never able to find a ship to get to the city, Felix was able to steal a Pike and make the final leg of the trip. When he arrived at the city he was almost mistaken for a Fallen, what with all of the Fallen gear he was wearing.

Felix quickly fell in with the Vanguard, they reminded him of something in the past, people trying to do good in a hard world. As a Titan he fell under the command of Zavala, and while he see the Titan commander as a good leader, Felix sometimes wishes he was under a more relaxed commander like Cayde.

When Felix isn't in the field killing things, he's generally found in the shipyard of the tower helping repair things, or in his personal workshop where he's always working on various projects.

When he returned from his latest mission Felix was told to report to Zavala, A fire team was being assembled and he was one of them.

(I'll get a picture of him up when I can).

It's a rather odd request an a it sort of drifts from the lore of Destiny (to my knowledge) I think it'd be best to just stick to what races are already in lore.
 
So real quick about the revive... why? why are we mind wiped when we die?

I get it to curb people from hurling themselves off a cliff (we've all done that) or other suicidal actions, but wouldn't it be a bit weird if say someone such as Zavala got killed? He'd come back with no memories, and little skill; If a guardian dies they'll wake in the middle of a battlefield, surrounded by hostiles, strangers screaming at them, and with no idea who or where the hell they are.

You do know that's literally happened to Zavala several times right haha? It's canonically the way guardians die and come back by Light.
 
Really? I didn't know that. I thought that when a guardian got blown up they revived, looked around, then went back to killing.
