"Whenever the soul desires to leave the physical body, the Arc body and all the other bodies remain behind because they have no combination. The Physical Body’s pranic connection with the Pranic Body totally breaks and the Soul leaves with the Subtle body. That means your identity is gone. Your physical body remains but YOU are gone. We call it death.” [b]What the clan is...[/b] 1) A group of DESTINY players who think before they act. 2) A group of DESTINY players who value respect and maturity. 3) A group of DESTINY players who believe in the mortal experience; which is to say that we as Guardians are always learning, and rise to the challenge of kindly and respectfully teaching others what we have learned. [b]What the clan is not...[/b] 1) A group which disrespects others, whether group or individual. 2) A group which discriminates against anyone, regardless of age, gender, gender identification, sexual orientation, race, or culture. [b]Amendment[/b] Some people tend to assume that a group which values 'maturity' -- that ever-elusive and infinitely definable word -- avoids taking in members of a certain age, or can't take a joke. Neither is the case for T9B. We recruit all ages, as long as the Guardian fits into the clan mold as mentioned above. And as adults, we value a good sense of humor to get us through this new life, or whatever you might call it, in pursuit of answers as to why The Traveler resurrected us. *** T9B is self-styled IC, which is to say in-character. This isn't a roleplaying guild. (gag) But I am a writer and I do enjoy the lore, so the clan ideals and communiques on the web are written with the lore and the 'feel' of the Destiny universe in mind. I'm not asking members to respond in the same way. But if reading this sort of thing annoys you, you aren't a good fit. I'm Canadian and now live in Canada, but I grew up in the United States, so I welcome all players from either side of the North American border. And others from all over the world, of course! Also, it should be noted that I'm relatively new to Destiny. Just started in May 2015. My main character is 25 Light. I'll probably focus on him for a couple more months. I'm also new to Xbox One, which I only purchased this month as well. Prior to this I was a PC gamer of some 15 years before I decided to give consoles another go. And I'm loving it. However, know that I have quite a lot to learn about the game yet. With this in mind, new players are very much welcome so we can learn together. [u]TO APPLY[/u] Please submit two paragraphs expressing why you want to join The Ninth Body, telling us a bit about yourself, and what you hope to bring to the clan table. [i]P.S. No, the opening passage does not mean T9B is a religious clan. ;)[/i] Keep Your Wits About You, PSon_
