What if there was a way to make a guardian corrupted by and working for the Darkness? I'm thinking that as soon as soon as you spawn and you see the Fallen, you have a choice. Either investigate the Fallen or get to the tower. If you go to the tower, the story goes normally. If you go to the Fallen, you are given modified Fallen weapons, and Hive kidnap you and corrupt your Ghost in the same way that it seems that they corrupted the shard of the Traveller. You escape with your Ghost and then return to the Fallen. You are given a shield generator and told to stop and corrupt all light. Your story continues normally from there, and instead of minions of the darkness, you fight weakened guardians. You travel the Solar System, learning from the worst enemies of the Light, such as Phogoth, Valus, and Atheon. Darkness-based levels and final Raid will be to infect the Guardians of the Tower and the Traveller with your insatiable hunger for pure Darkness. Armor will make you look like certain enemies, ergo Randal the Vandal. The "hub" will be a Fallen/fallen city where the inhabitants were made immortal and became the first Fallen. I hope everyone likes this!
