Nightfall short story series

I'm writing a series of Destiny short stories taking place around the climax of the games plot, or rather, my theorized version of the climax. There's new gear, enemies, weapons, and powers, but there are familiar characters featured in it. Mostly familiar. [spoiler]Except Rahool. He WILL die. Horribly. Deliciously. Spectacularly. You can help with that too!//Proposed idea at the bottom! [/spoiler] It also answers some questions, like where does Saladin live, and what happened to his relationship with Shaxx? How do the Vanguards fight, and with what? Are there dragons????? Why am I doing this? Practice. I want to be a better writer and storyteller, and this is a great way to do it. Why do I need your Guardians? I want to feature several of them in the stories! There will be ten player Guardians featured in the series, each representing every single subclass (even the rumored ones that will come). I need 6 Titans, 2 Warlocks (My Sunsinger is already joining up), and 1 Hunter. One submission per player please. I would like a name (lore/race friendly) and gender, race, a personality/combat style, a subclass, and a favorite weapon type. Exotics are not exactly recommended, as I want to feature those weapons as unique to certain characters. Include them if you like, but be wary that it might not be available for your character's use. Armor is fair game. Be deep and unique, but concise. It isn't helpful to give me a whole 'nother short story to build into each character, nor can they all be mysterious and brooding Olympian gods that eat metal and shit glory. I want actual people. Hell, I want [i]you.[/i] Three Guardians will make it to the final showdown, one of each class. I cannot guarantee that it will be your character, nor can I guarantee that they will live to see the end. I can't even guarantee them a badass or fair death, should they be offed. My Sunsinger will [b]not[/b] be in the final showdown, fret not. This is for you guys. When the series is done, I'll find a way to get it to you guys. But let's start with getting you in on the action. Also, read the spoiler. I'll post choices after a while. Edit: I need Rahool death ideas people.//NVM read the spoiler at the bottom :) Edit2: I've included the pt. I of the series in the link above. This is the only taste you will get of what I'm building until it is finished. The link may expire after a couple days; just tell me so I can fix it when that happens. Edit 3: Warlocks: Quincy (Me), B3n.081 (JediDroid), CJ-3 (Chalibay415) Hunter: Bigindi (Bigindi) Titans: Thanatos.00 (ZniperLax4), DxD*1100101101 aka Glitch (Glitched Core), Jonah Jinxer (C3rb3rus31), Gracella Rubor (RUSROB1967), Selena and Solara (Glitched Core) Rahool's death: [spoiler]Dead Orbit has found a planet they can escape to, and are preparing ships to leave. Rahool, the coward he is, decides to join them. He meets Arach Jalaal, who shows him to his escape pod. Jalaal tells Rahool that the destination has been previously entered, and all Rahool needs to do is start up the pod. They need someone of his "caliber" to scope out the planet and glean knowledge for them. Rahool obliges, gets in, and takes off. As Jalaal watches Rahool fly off, two Dead Orbit member rush over to him. One is blurting something about a missing Thrall captee, and another about a prematurely launched pod taking off towards the sun. Jalaal looks at them both and smiles, pulling out an Exotic weapon: Dragon's Breath. Both Dead Orbit members stop squawking and gasp, entranced by the weapon. "That was my reaction too," says Jalaal. He raps on the weapon in the middle, causing it to fall apart. A sound comes out in Rahools voice: [i]I'm such a Rahooligan! [/i] Looking at the now confused DO members, he laughs, "let's get the hell off this rock."[/spoiler] Secret characters--what I've posted is all I'm taking. They might just be a cameo, they might be something greater. We'll see :) [spoiler] Cordelia-05 (biggish burrito) The Maverick (MarylandMaverick) Ryker (Critical Gamerr) [/spoiler]

    I want you guys to know that work is still happening on this series... so I'm dropping a little preview of part II right here! This preview features dialogue between player characters Bigindi and Ryker, from Bigindi and Critical Gamerr respectively. Enjoy :D “-And there I was, with an empty hand cannon-” “Yeah,” “-low on Light-” “Uh huh.” “-and busted comms-” “Naturally.” “-armed with nothing but my ‘[i]Alpha Lupus Stryke[/i]’ saber, one of a kind, of course-” “Of course.” “-standing across from this [i]brute[/i] of a Captain, in the middle of a Venus rainstorm, nonetheless! My eyes stung, and I was squinting and tearing up quite a bit, Bigindi, but I’d like to think that he thought I was eyeing him like he was prey… whole thing was rather-” “Poetic.” “Po- yeah, poetic! Have I told you this story before?” “What? No, [i]never[/i].” “Oh. Anyways, it was just me and him, and he happened to be wielding Shock Swords himself. We stood there for what was maybe an eternity, maybe an instant. Regardless, we both knew what was about to happen-” “I’m still listening.” “-At least, I knew what was what. I dunno how Fallen brains work really. Anyways, I readied my saber, thinking to myself, ‘Ryker? It’s time to DANCE!’ I sparked up, readied my weapon, and clashed with the bastard. He got in two good slashes before I ended him with what I like to call ‘The Showstopper!’ He never stood a chance…” “Of course not.” “You know, Bigs, you’re such a good listener. Sometimes I’m kinda self-conscious because… well because I’m afraid others might think I’m full of it. You don’t think that, do you Bigs?” “I-” [i]THAKOOOOOOM![/i] A Cabal Harvester came out of a jump right by the Tower. The shockwave from the sonic boom shattered windows and shook the ground, knocking everyone down. Bigindi was the first to rise. “What the hell is that doing [i]here[/i]?” The Harvester proceeded to fire a single missile at the Tower, blasting a gaping hole in its wall.

      No longer need anymore characters, thanks for all submissions. As a preview I'll introduce you to a concept that takes place in the story world: Class Evolution. In game terms, this is what the third slot is for. You pick your favorite class, and sort of overclock it, gaining new abilities and advanced version of old ones. In the first chapter of the series, someone attains that new state of power. Read and see :D I'm also looking for a more permanent file viewing site; if you have something, let me know!

    • I know you said one entry per person but I really want you to finish this so here you go Abandoned by their parents when the awoken fled earth these twin sisters died side by side at the age of 16. Centuries later a single ghost found them. Since they were not fully grown the gist was able to revive them both. Now still together this teenage Titan tag team . One striker one defender were taken in by the Titan vanguard and raised as his own. Strangely though they don't age, possibly because of their revival. They are always together for they know if one of them dies the other will soon follow. For this reason they have never fallen in battle. Striker Full monylia gear Prefers auto rifle and shotguns Relys on her sister for buffs uses fist of havoc Defender Full holdfast gear Prefers scout rifle and sniper Constantly buffs her sister grabs orbs from sister's fist of havoc and visa versa

                  Race:Exo class:Titan subclass: Striker Name:Glitch Thrown together with scrap by a wandering ghost. Glitch knew it wasn't important, but for some reason Glitch was alive. It headed to the Tower in search of purpose and a meaning. Joining the guardians Glitch had found purpose. Though always it strayed way from other guardians, for Glitch still felt like scrap compared to them. Primary: assault rifle Special: any Heavy: machine gun Style: if it moves shoot it till it stops Appearance: ruin wings, holdfast type 3, thunderdevil shader

                    Brilliant idea, how has this not been done before?!?!? Anyway here's my submission: Name: Jinxer Race:Human Gender:Male Class: Titan defender. Known to be.... How can I put this? He's kind of an ass, sure you can rely on him to take down an ogre, but be prepared for snarky comments and all round smartass remarks. He's fiercely loyal and cares deeply for his fellow guardians, but he will insult you if you're his friend it just can't be helped :) When it comes to a fight he prefers to keep his foes locked down with suppressor grenades and fill'em with holes and dents from a well placed right hook. Primary: Another NITC (Scout rifle) Secondary: Secret Handshake (shotgun) Heavy: Super Good Advice (heavy machine gun) Appearance is entirely up to you, but have a look at my Titan on my profile I'm rather proud of his look :D Hope you like him. Tell me if I left any of the requirements out. :) Love Rahools demise!

                    • Mitch voidwalker warlock. Aggressive play type that never misses a headshot with hand cannons. He is a human male.

                        I realize that you've already got a Hunter, but your writing prompt got my creative juices flowing, so if you have need of another minor character, feel free to draw from this (if it helps). I've written it vaguely to give you plenty to go on, if you want to use it. Name: Unknown Callsign: Maverick Race: Awoken Class: Hunter Subclass: Bladedancer [u]Armament[/u] Primary: Lord High Fixer Special: Icebreaker Heavy: Zombie Apocalypse Significant Armor/Equipment: Crest of Alpha Lupi, Strength of the Pack Hunter Cloak Ship: Fangs of Nyx [u]Dossier[/u] The hunter sat in a tight crouch near the railing, staring at the mountain. Not many Guardians knew him personally; he was almost never part of the group, but he was always around, tracing the edges of the periphery. Cleaning the nail on his left ring finger, his thumb slid across the base of the digit, the phantom of a metal band momentarily there, then gone. Maverick slid the blade back into its sheath at the small of his back, tugged his gauntlet on, adjusted the heavy cannon at his hip, and stood. The mountain remained, brooding. The mountain where he had lost his name. The mountain where he had slain the wolf, whose bone adorned the handle of his knife. The mountain, where he had learned to fight with nothing. Where the blade had saved him, and bound him to its dark will. The mountain. When he watched it, it stared back.

                          Hey I'm a titan, Exo male. Like to punch things in the face and am headstrong but also careful enough to not die a lot. Team comes first if dying means reviving a fireteam member I'd do it in a second. Prefer auto rifles but hates shotguns and loves fusion rifles likes all heavies (of course). Striker subclass/or the other on both are max level. . Names Thanatos. If you pick mine you can change it if you want.

                            • Okay, I like this idea. JediDroid, serial number B3N 081 if you prefer, is an early model Exo Warlock focusing on the voidwalkers path. His primary is either thorn, first exotic bounty, or tdyk. However, he'll accept any hand cannon with decent impact, or a scout rifle in a pinch. Primarily leans to the one hit one kill philosophy with said weapon. Secondary depends on the situation, preferring fusion rifles. Signature melee move is sprinting, sliding under the incoming fire and bam! Which stands him straight up. No blinking! Tied to the future war cult because he agrees the fight is inevitable, decked in the Bloodpact shader, he'll dance at success, dances with Rahool to try and get better engrams, and hates himself for it. Anything else you need?

                              • Male Exo Warlock, Sunsinger. "C-J3" P: Fatebringer S: Found Verdict H: Corrective Measure Personality; He's pretty shy for a walking-talking tin can. Takes a while for him to open up, but when he does, you'll find your new best friend. Willing to help with anything, and being extremely polite, you could tell he was made in the golden age. Combat Style: He's a bit crazy when facing off against his fellow guardians competitively, running straight into a gunfight with everything. But when comes to facing the darkness, he puts on a more reserved guise, attending to the needs of his fireteam, more than anything.

                                  Name: Bigindi Human Gunslinger Hunter Primary: Venation III Secondary: The Comedian Heavy:The Swarm Personality: A guardian that has flashes of a previous life. Waking up every morning feeling the warmth of his long dead son, just to be reminded that he is alone fighting a fight that seems to never sway or end in anyway. He uses a handcannon because he likes the added weight, and they never jam if you treat them right. He dedicates his soul to the fight never hesitating to go under fire for a team member or even a random guardian that got a little over his head. He believes in leading from the front and being the first one in last one out, never leaving a man behind or enemy alive. Though mostly quiet and reserved he is trusted to do what needs to be done, if only it is to replace the nightmares of a life long gone with those of a fresh battle. Edit: what if a guardian found a booby trapped engram that took out the cryptarch and a significant amount of guardians at the tower ?

                                    • Rahool Should decode an engram that turns into "Red Death" that is then taken by the guardian who he decoded it for and used to brutally murder him and gut him as we hang him by his entrails.
