So my friends and I have been doing some thinking about the naming of enemies and what the inspiration for them was/what they are based on.
This is what we've come up with so far:
The hive are based on a medieval/king arthur/fantasy type thing, with knights, wizards, princes, ogres etc
The vex are undeniably greek mythology, with harpies, goblins, hydras, minotaurs.
The cabal are the roman empire/mythology, with legionaries, centurions.
But the fallen seem to be giving us the biggest problem. With their reputation as scavengers, we figured them to be pirates, and that still seems to be the most likely option, with names like dregs and captains, but with vandals and shanks they seem to just be bad things in general.
Any thoughts?
-
The hive are flood, the cabal are brutes, the fallen are elites and the Vex are Prometheans. Boom.

Prison populations?
