What's special about YOUR specific guardian?

So I generally think about games from a storyline point of view, and I noticed something strange. Your guardian is constantly doing things for the vanguard and your allies. If you play Destiny 2 and chose to transfer your character from D1, then you were presented with a cutscene of all the accomplishments you achieved. But as far as the storyline goes from both games, no other guardians are mentioned. You never hear of "Shock-9", the Exo titan that completed the VOG before you. From the story line, you completed all the strikes, nightfalls, raids, and defeated all main enemies -Crota, Orix, etc...-, you were the beginning of the new iron lords, you were the first and only guardian to regain your light after the last city was attacked, and defeated GARY. Granted, you need a fire team for some things, -like the Leviathan- but if there is a cutscene afterwards, only your guardian appears. The only recognition of your deeds that I noticed, was when you visited the vendors and vanguards after the campaign, and they gave a 1-2 sentence long, "thanks". From the storyline point of view, you should be treated as royalty. I can't be the only one to have noticed this. What's your thoughts on the matter?

      • My guardian is unique because I don’t chase after power level or loot. I chase after the best looking gear set I love. Just look at my Titan. Tell me, does he not look fabulous?!

      • My hunter I modeled after my favorite recording artist Erykah Badu. My female warlock after my favorite DJ. That would be DJ Empress. I wanted a Connor mcgregor Titan but no options for beards.

        • My guardian is a vigilante and cause employes him to do shit for him while she stuck in the tower. The other guardians don’t like him cuz he is unorthodox in the crucible. Also he doesn’t like high call cuz they make guardians lazy as if you use high cal you don’t have to focus or use skill as much, making you lazy. And he doesn’t give a crap about what you think, only his good friends can give him advice about what to do.

        • My warlock thinks he's a hunter because an experiment resulted in the destabilization and a huge explosion on the moon (that's why the crack's there). This flung my warlock all the way back to earth where he landed on his head. When dinklebot revived him (this was in the early days remember) he awoke wondering why he had to wear robes and floof about like some dork. He's convinced he can bound like a frabjous battle bunny if only he tries hard enough.

          • My Human Hunter and Awoken Warlock are the same person, and he is not a true guardian. Human Hunter [spoiler] So my Hunter is named Jorn, and he managed to escape with several other people when the Fallen raided his small settlement. Suffering several serious wounds while slaying much of the Fallen hunting party that was pursuing them, he was near death when a Hunter and a Titan of the Pilgrim Guard rescued them. Impressed with his victory over the Fallen without being able to wield the light, the Hunter gifted him with a cloak of a Takanome Ranger, an extinct cadre of snipers that secured the pilgrim roads before the Risen began to show up. Years later, haunted by loss and survivor guilt, and driven by guilt, Jorn fled the City. He posted himself at a crossroads with stolen Vandal line rifle and sniped any Fallen that showed their face within range. After several years of securing the pilgrim crossroads, it became well known as the safest route toward the City. Some years later, he had a brush with the Hive, and found himself prisoner under a torturous and experimenting Wizard. Infected with Darkness, and chained in his cell, he was visited by Xur who traded him his lucky strange coin pendant for a small vial of red glowing fluid that he said was an "Achylophage Symbiote". He said that it would eat away the Darkness inside of him, consume his nightmares, and leave him filled with light. Jorn accepted Xur's offer and, upon joining with the Symbiote, became something ...else. A being that feeds on Darkness, and consumes it to create light which can then be channeled into a weapon.[/spoiler] Awoken Warlock [spoiler]Some years after that, when Oryx showed up on the scene, and the Taken invaded the Cosmodrome, Jorn was scrambling about trying to survive the upheaval. Suddenly, he was spotted by Oryx who seized him. While Oryx cannot take guardians, Jorn is does not wield the Traveler's power, and is not able to make his own fate. Oryx takes him and thrusts him before the Darkness, but he is saved by his Symbiote. The Symbiote begins fighting back, devouring the Dark, and burning the area with light. Oryx's power casts him back out without taking full effect, but Jorn is still altered. He is changed into an Awoken and the Symbiote is changed as well.[/spoiler]

            • My hunter was resurrected very wary in the dark age, possibly one of the first guardians ever. But he was resurrected in the Australian wastelands, torn apart by nuclear misshapes and fallen pirates. He was stranded for centuries. My warlock only every uses the voidwalker subclass, he skilled in light to the point he would be considered a master and can switch between forms in seconds (as stated in the primal siege gear) but chooses not to, because he simply is so focused on the void light he harbours. My Titan still wields a shield like the Iron Lords use to, using it to further be a bastion for the city and its people. Just some small quirks of mine, dear.

            • My titan is the skinniest of all titans in d2 due to his diet of only dirt, specifically Io dirt. He likes Io dirt the most because there is such a large population of Taken on Io that sometimes he will get Taken dirt and he LOVES the taste of Taken dirt. But srsly look at my titan his armor makes him look skinny

            • What I don't get is why didn't this happen? ZAVALA: "Don't go. I've lost too many lightless Guardians on Titan already. " YOU: "..." GHOST: "Commander, we have our light back." ZAVALA: "WHAT?! How?" GHOST: "There's this shard in the European Dead Zone." No response from Zavala. GHOST: "Commander? Commander, are you there?" SLOAN: "Uh, he just transmatted to his ship. I think he's headed to Earth to get his own light back."

                Technically nothing, but I do like to come up with personalities and b.s. grounds for my characters when I can, not that anyone else ever knows about it but I used to write a lot of fabric for other games and now its just habit for all of my characters to actually be explained. For example my 3 hunters in d2 (two are new and still being leveled): Hunter 1: human male nightstalker Leader of the 3 and the most experienced (this was my main from day 1 in destiny 1). Very balanced loadout and approach to combat. Mostly focused on recon/scouting roles and stealth. Pledged to dead orbit, uses mida multi & mini and Quickfang. Hunter 2: exo female gunslinger Gung-ho personality type and an excessive love for guns and explosives of all types. Loves to get into the thick of things and lay down as much destruction as possible. Pledged to new monarchy, focuses on forward assault and fire support and is the weapons quartermaster for the group. Hunter 3: awoken female arcstrider Youngest of the three, personality type is timid yet curious. Expert martial artist and pledged to future war cult. Role in the group is close combat, as well as piloting.

              • I would love to see more mentions about other guardians, this is an MMO game, why not just recognize that there are other people in the world when, you know, there are other people in the world. I mean, that Lone hero deal is really outdated and it totally breaks imersion when you know your playing an MMO, its a disconnect, but If bungie would just make aknowledge that you are fighting together with others, then it feels a lot better. The problem is when they straight up tell you that you are "THE ONLY ONE" + Fireteam cutscenes? I mean Star wars the old republic did something great there. I would love to see my friends join in on my cutscenes. They dont have to do anything, just that we are going at it as a team helps it feel more connected to the actuall game and world im playing.
