Some more questions about lore

So for the backstory of my guardian I want to make it as lore accurate as possible. So I have some questions relating to possible aspects that have crossed my mind. Please answer with the question number in front so I know what you are referring to. 1) I know the basic lore behind guardians being chosen and stuff but can a guardian inherit a ghost (like shin malphur) 2) Can exos gain memories or personality of a human 3) Once people were first touched by the light could any other people be touched after the collapse 4) can Guardians reproduce and have families and if so can exos with humans (probably not but I'm curious) 5) How is a person touched by the light 6) Can a guardian who has died be resurrected 7) If an exo can gain a human's memories/personality then can they gain the light as well or do they have to be touched by the light in the first place. 8)I know exos were made before the collapse in the golden age but were they able to be made after. 9) Did tex mechana make multiple last words (since I tend to use that gun the most in game but I know it belonged to Jaren Ward and Shin Malphur) 10) What factors can cause a guardian to die forever and is it always possible for a ghost to revive them. 11) how does reviving a guardian work after the ghost first revives them, I know the first time they have no memories but what about after. Please answer as many of these questions so that I can start creating the lore behind my hunter. If you know any other facts that might be useful or any videos that cover topics in relation to this then please say. Thank you [spoiler]Not all of these questions are going to be used but they are ideas I am considering or curious about[/spoiler]

    • [quote]1) I know the basic lore behind guardians being chosen and stuff but can a guardian inherit a ghost (like shin malphur)[/quote] A Ghost can select a living person to be their Guardian (as long as it is the specific person they are meant to pair with). It's just that finding a living person who can wield Light is very uncommon since far more humans have died than are alive. Judging from the Shin Malphur pairing and the way our Ghost investigated another possible Guardian, it seems that a Ghost can pair with a second Guardian if given permission by the person. [quote]2) Can exos gain memories or personality of a human [/quote] Exos ARE humans. During the Golden Age Exos were developed to give humans both immortality and to allow them to more safely traverse Vex territory. When the Collapse hit the Exos were mass produced and recruited because they were better for fighting, and Cayde has even left a journal entry for us speaking of how he became an Exo. Exo minds are human and work exactly the same, exempt because of the machine bodies their memories can leave better imprints so an Exo who is a Guardian or that has had a mind wipe can remember fragments of their past. Exos naturally have personality and emotion. Frames however, are machines. But over the years they can develop "personality quirks" because of their adaptive abilities. [quote]3) Once people were first touched by the light could any other people be touched after the collapse[/quote] When the Light arrived in our system and increased human health, the effects seemed to remain permanent even through the Collapse. The Light is currently only truly strong in the City, but anyone who lives in the inner solar system is within the Light's reach. [quote]4) can Guardians reproduce and have families and if so can exos with humans (probably not but I'm curious)[/quote] Exos cannot reproduce. They have human sexual desires but clearly no ability to bear children. Guardians can most likely reproduce if of the proper age, but I can almost guarantee you that a female Guardian bearing a child would have to go those 9 months without dying, because a Ghost can only restore te bodies of their own Guardian. So yes to having babies, just don't die while pregnant. [quote]5) How is a person touched by the light[/quote] There is a grimoire (can't remember which) that says all living things that have not given themselves to Darkness have Light. Beings that were "touched by Light" were simply close to the Traveler, which has far more Light within and exuding off of it than any other living thing. So people "touched with Light" just had a little extra Light shared with them. Guardians have more Light than the average organism, and the ability to use it. [quote]6) Can a guardian who has died be resurrected[/quote] As long as there is Light left in them and in their Ghost. If a Guardian does in a place heavy with Darkness (a Darkness Zone), it grows harder to revive them, and if they end up dead or even just in that area long enough without a recharge, their Light can be sniffed out completely so that they can't be revived again. Eris lost her Light in the Hellmouth, and Eriana-3 burnt out before her death down there as well, Jaren Ward was drained of his Light by Thorn and his Ghost couldn't revive him, and Dredgen Yor gave up his Light so his Ghost could no longer revive him. [quote]7) If an exo can gain a human's memories/personality then can they gain the light as well or do they have to be touched by the light in the first place.[/quote] Just going to say again that an Exo used to be human so does not need to be given human qualities. Just like other humans and other sentient creatures, they naturally have Light within them. [quote]8)I know exos were made before the collapse in the golden age but were they able to be made after.[/quote] After the Collapse we lost all knowledge of how to make Exos. It's a mystery how the Stranger was made since she comes from a timeline where the Golden Age and the Light were already gone [quote]9) Did tex mechana make multiple last words (since I tend to use that gun the most in game but I know it belonged to Jaren Ward and Shin Malphur)[/quote] There's only one Last Word. There's only one of most of the exotics, but a few like Surps Regime were made in a factory line with multiple copies produced. [quote]10) What factors can cause a guardian to die forever and is it always possible for a ghost to revive them. [/quote] A Guardian will be permanently dead if their Ghost dies or if they die in a place of Darkness and aren't revived soon enough after. In areas thick with Darkness, a Ghost can revive their Guardian as long as another Guardian is there to lend some Light to help. [quote]11) how does reviving a guardian work after the ghost first revives them, I know the first time they have no memories but what about after. [/quote] I don't know why the first revival brings a Guardian back with no memory, but for all the revivals after that the Guardian keeps their memory, probably because the Ghost is linked with them to preserve who they are If you have anymore questions I'll be happy to answer
