At first, it was the concept that Guardians have been around a while, and so has Oryx. Is it not possible that Oryx may have "recruited" a few? I don't know if their Light makes that impossible or not, but the concept was interesting. There would be at least three distinct variants, the Taken Titan, Taken Hunter, and Taken Warlock. Each exhibiting abilities more conducive to their respective classes. But, this lead me further to thinking how a new Crucible match could spawn from this. I'm sure the gamemode is familiar enough -as Rift is just one-flag Capture-the-flag- but we start off with 6 Guardians in the match, evenly distributed among the map. The match starts, any everyone is on the same team, anyways. But, after a quick bit, a Guardian is selected at random and is "recruited". Now, the match really begins. 5 on 1. Our Taken Guardian now has the task of hunting down and killing the rest of our team. Now, he either has to kill a living Guardian, or the finishing blow has to be a melee strike, but at that point, our fallen Guardian is thus recruited as well. 4 on 2. If our Taken Guardian is killed, he spirals away like the other Taken do, but he respawns anyways to continue the hunt. The game continues until all living Guardians are recruited, or the time runs out and a Guardian has managed to avoid recruitment. Being Taken, I assume gameplay will be a bit changed. Perhaps the user is slower than usual, but has greater endurance and the ability to Blink around instead of sprinting. I'm not sure how scoring will work, perhaps living Guardians have an ever-ticking score just for staying alive, and boosts for every Taken Guardian he kills. Whereas Taken Guardians get their points from killing/recruiting living Guardians.
