Guardian Ideas
Jan. 13th, 2015 08:30 pmA Hunter who has grown addicted to the visions and memories seen in death and is starting to put others at risk with their suicidal tactics.
A Warlock working secretly and perhaps vainly to try and encourage a rebellion among the Cabal’s psions.
A Titan campaigning for support and willing colonists to settle ground outside the Traveller’s protection, with the hope of creating another safe space to ease the issue of overpopulation within the City.
An Awoken who was one of the very first to leave the Reef in search of the fabled homeworld, only to be met with hostility from the survivors; centuries later they struggle to balance pleasure at seeing their kin spreading across the Earth against lingering resentment at having to fight in the name of those who murdered them in their fear.
A highly regarded Crucible champion who is terrified of going outside the City.
A former botanist who fills their Tower room to overflowing with their attempts to document all the plants that are new to them and sets hidden, hungry eyes on the Black Garden.
A Guardian whose initial resurrection was interrupted; though they were successfully raised they have a dislocated, erratic grasp of the Light, making them as dangerous to themselves and allies as their enemies should they try to weaponise it in the field.
One of a pair of Guardians raised simultaneously who now walks the worlds alone with their twin’s Ghost, the new bond forged by their shared grief.
A fervent believer in the Traveller during the Golden Age turned bitter xenophobe and Binary Star cultist as a Guardian – or vice versa.
Someone of a famous enough name that they’re able to identify and meet their own distant descendent. It’s weird for everybody.
Disabled and neurodivergent Guardians who work through it – mute Guardians who let their Ghosts lend a voice when needed, blind Guardians who stalk fearlessly through the unseen shadows between Light and Darkness, attention-deficit Guardians who develop armour systems that boost focus and catch details they might miss.
The next Speaker, though they don’t yet know it.
