Within many games it is a popular concept to provide not only voices but character profiles; to provide a backstory for your character and their reactions to circumstances. The following will help to guide the player to find how their character died and how it will effect their future reactions. Imagine your character has lost their memory of the event and now has a desire to find the answer to that question, but it prove to bring more questions to light that may not have answers in themselves. 1- [u][b]WHO[/b] are you?[/u] - [i]what is your name?[/i] 2- [u][b]WHAT[/b] are you?[/u] - [i]are you human, Awoken, or Exo and what gender are you?[/i] 3- [u][b]WHERE[/b] are you from?[/u] - [i]Human[/i][spoiler][b]EARTH[/b] : Frontier, City, or Refugee?[/spoiler], [i]Awoken[/i][spoiler][b]EARTH[/b] : Frontier? [b]REEF[/b] Defector or Loyalist?[/spoiler], or [i]Exo[/i]?[spoiler]EARTH : City? REEF : Loyalist? FLEET : Loyalist?[/spoiler] 4- [u][b]WHY[/b] are you at the Cosmodrome?[/u] - [i]You were a[/i] ([u]Human[/u][spoiler]Survivor, Soldier, or Apprentice[/spoiler] [u]Awoken[/u][spoiler]Scavenger, Guard, or Scribe[/spoiler] [u]Exo[/u][spoiler]Salvage, Security, Analyst crewmate) in search of resources when you can underfire from the fallen.[/spoiler] 5- [u][b]HOW[/b] did you die?[/u] - [i]Did you [u]Advance[/u] the Fallen? [u]Fall back[/u] to a better position? Take [u]Cover[/u] assess the situation?[/i] [spoiler]Humans are always cut down by a Vandal, Awoken are always shot by a Sniper, and Exo's are always blown up by a grenade.[/spoiler] All of these would determine your characters basic or general mannerism, regardless of your choices the characters will treat the same, mainly for developmental simplicity, but also because none of these selected would grant preferential treatment anyway. After these are selected, you are given a choice between any of the following within the game menu to help provide better dialogue outside the cutscenes: - Strong & Silent - "[i]..........[/i]" = default; barely any dialogue. - Stoic - "[i]This looks like a Job for a Guardian![/i]" = 1920's to 1950's heroic or super hero voice. - Space Cowboy - "[i]howdy folks[/i]" - Country Accent - Steam Punk - "[i]Cheers mates[/i]" - British Accent - North Wind - "[i]In the cosmodrome, the bear eat you[/i]" = Russian Accent - Tango Down - "[i]Hola! Como estas my amigo's!? How's it goin' man?[/i]" = Hispanic Accent - Dark Humor - "[i]Haha hah hahahahaah![/i]" = Joker from batman...cause you know...reasons.... - Highlander - "[i]There' can be only' one![/i]" = Scottish Accent - City Slick - "[i]Hey! I'm walkin' here man! Common dawg it's too earlah to be doin' stuff like this[/i]" = Urban Common Accent - Sparkling Disposition - "[i]Sparkles for everyone! Except you....your shoes are barf....[/i]" = Californian Accent - Cold Frontier - "[i]Know what's bout to happen Eh?[/i]" = Canadian Accent - Tropical Topical - "[i]Jah Man...We need some heat man, we need some heat.[/i]" = Jamaican accent. - Stern Scolding - "[i]I'm not Impressed...[/i]" = Older, wiser, and more experienced. With this concept also comes exclusive phrases for the use and acquirement of gear and the use of said gear the environment; you pick up a engram, push a button, switch weapons, use an emote, or just stand and do nothing for awhile and your character speaks. Certain exotic gear would also have unique dialogue, related to their name or the intent of use; ATS/8 Arachnid = "And along came a spider...", Thorn = "You have been a thorn in my side far too long", Super Good Advice = "Want some super good advice? Stay down...", etc.

  • I waken from my nightmare in a cold sweat to grab my pistol for comfort, thoughts racing through my mind as I contemplate the images I escaped from. I'm not sure if it was a dream or if I had truly been there at some point but when I rose up to the sight of my Ghost calling me a Guardian, I had no memory of what life I had before. He said this happens to everyone and I might or might not remember my past. My dream started with me leading a group through the mountains of North Carolina, we had rescued some villagers that had been attacked by the Fallen a few days before and we were trying to put as much distance between us as we can. I recognize the house colors they wore as the House of Phantoms; swift, silent, and just as spectral as their namesake, they had only a small team to kill the towns people. They didn't count on us to be there so they fled but I knew they'd be back eventually. We packed up what we could and started our trek to wherever we could that would be less hostile then things were going to get. We were southbound before I had a strange feeling we were being followed, I doubt the Phantoms would have followed us for this long before attacking but I stopped abruptly and raised my rifle. My squad did the same as we prepared to defend ourselves while me and someone else when to the side to scout. I can't remember anyone's name and I can barely remember their faces but I knew that I could trust my life to them. We head to the hilltop to get a better vantage for surveying the land and just in time for a Skiff to uncloak in a deafening boom which sent us back down, my weapon was thrown from my grasp as I land on my back. A Captain in a purple cape had come sliding down with four blades drawn, ready to end me. I had pulled by pistol from my waist to fire 5 rounds at the target only to be deflected by a shield but enough to make him jump to the side as more troops drop in. Our people scatter into small groups led by my soldiers into the thicker parts of the woods to avoid cannon fire while firing at the Vandals in pursuit, I am in close quarters knife and gun fight with a small team of Dregs. One made a straight lunge towards me as I shoot into another's skull, I roll away from the blade and avoid getting cut but the touch had burned my shoulder and made my arm numb. I turn with a low block to disarm him so I can come up with a right knee which shatter his ribs but I didn't notice the grenade in his hand when he stayed close. The detonation had blew out my left leg and I lay there, one of my guys is run to help me but gets gunned down by shrapnel from a launcher. I look past him to see part of the group running from the ships as the cannon fire down and sending bodies in all directions, I try to crawl towards them without any real plan as to what I could possibly hope to do. It hardly registered as the Captain had return and picked me up to face him so he could look me in the eye when he stabs me, it feels like a plasma torch is being run through me and when I look back at the Fallen he seems to be enjoying it. I don't know if those people ever got away from the slaughter or if they had all died with me, I don't recall other skeletons when I was raised so I remain hopeful. I just wish I could remember their names.

  • "If Only, if only", by they woodpeckers cry that the bark of the wood was as soft as the sky, while the wolf lies below hungry and lonely. He cries to the moon "if only, if only"

    Thanks, but I've worked out my own backstory. [this BTW is honestly what I had in mind when playing through Destiny] [i]Who am I?[/i] [b]The Black-and-decker 3,000 series with automated timer and laser-browning function![/b] (exo-hunter) [i]What am I?[/i] A reanimated toaster looking to seek vengeance against the alien force that killed my original owners! [i]Why was I at the cosmodrome?[/i] My original owners were moving house! [i]How did I die?[/i] In my original form I bravely dived under the break peddle during a high-speed get away! The moving van plunged off a cliff, killing us all but also taking the fallen soldier clinging to the roof down with us! It was an honorable way to go! BTW, OP that would have been a neat way of building more of a character to our master chief 2.0's. Here's hoping bungie tries for more depth in the sequel. :)
