So I've come up with a little game. I will write a mini-story for each of these characters: A Dreg, a Thrall, and a Psion. After reading these, tell me who has it worse.
Dreg: You have just been docked for losing a captured Ghost. You feel ashamed, not good enough, useless. Your Captain tells you the only way to prove yourself is to permanently kill a Guardian. However, attempting this is almost guaranteeing your death. The Captain tells you that if you can't do this task within the week, he will abandon you and kick you out of House Dusk, leaving you for the bears and wolves that come out at night in the EDZ.
Thrall: You are small and weak, and have only killed one single Guardian. The Wizards view you as useless and are planning to either curse you and use you as a living bomb or turn you into a pain-filled Ogre.
Psion: You were once an indentured servant to a Valus, and have been promoted to combat duty. Your commanding Centurion, however, thinks all Psions are weak and should be culled, and is planning to send you onto the suicidal front lines. You could go AWOL, but if you are caught, you'll be fed to the War Beasts. You could try to surrender, but because the Guardians can't understand you because your voice sounds like a record being scratched, you'll probably be used as target practice.

Psion

The Unggoy had it worse. #JusticeforYapfliporFlipyap

Thrall

Dregs are warriors though.

You know what's worse? [spoiler]Exploder Shank[/spoiler]

I would say it’s a tie between the dreg and psion that you presented. For my guardian, I’d be able to identify a psion surrendering, and I’d try and help the dreg find house judgment where he can earn his worth to people who will care about him. I’d probably bring the psion to the world vendor of whatever planet I would be on prior to going to the city with it, for security reasons as I likely wouldn’t know whether or not this was the cabal trying to feed us bad intel. After all, a single psion has the potential to put us on the offensive for once. We could actually [i]expand[/i] the cities borders.

While we're on the subject of Fallen vs Hive, here's a thought: Say what you want about the half-Hive baron and his creepy fetish for Hive chicks, he was arguably the greatest threat in the game, dwarfing even Emo Princess Uldren. He rejected the universal doctrine of our system: "The enemy of my enemy is my enemy." Left undisturbed, his actions might have laid the groundwork for a Hive-Fallen alliance, which could shift the balance of power significantly. Hive resilience and Fallen determination... not something we want arrayed against us. Ironically, our "friendship" with Spider is similar, and a reason to put up with his crap. An alliance between us and the Eliksni could strengthen both of us considerably.

First off, if you have killed a guardian, even if they rezzed after, you use that light to feed off of, and evolve into a acolyte If it was just a thrall then it would be the thrall, but since he can evolve himself into an acolyte it is the dreg The psion isn’t even a lower position
-
Thralls definitely have it the worst. I would hate to have a worm living in me.
-
Thrall, because if they get cursed then they’re basically only there for guardians to use to murder that thrall and every cursed thrall around it.
-
Psion, since all guardians murdered a crap ton during the red war

Edited by CIKiller: 10/20/2018 4:04:04 AMConsidering the thrall managed to kill a Guardian in the first place, it should not be in that situation. Our ridiculously inflated Guardian-Thrall KD ratio means that any thrall that kills a guardian should have the Darkness' respect.
-
Being a Thrall is just par for the course. House of Dusk doesnt operate like that. If the Psion was promoted the it obviously has something to prove, Cabal operate on a merit system. So who has it worse? Probably the Thrall as the other 2 options are implausible.
-
Thralls are clearly not intelligent enough to understand just how wretched they are. They charge mindlessly, they die mindlessly. That leaves the Dreg and te Psion. Both are fairly wrecthed, but I'm giving it to the Dreg. Being viciously mutilated as a matter of course would be utterly miderable.

Edited by ImaDrizzit: 10/19/2018 5:54:20 PMHow about this one, Human collapse survivor: You have just witnessed the horrors of everything dying, the darkness has destroyed everything, your home, family, and pretty much the whole planet you live on. You are armed with nothing, but a small rumor of a safe haven city, and even that might not be safe if it even exists. Not only can you easily be killed by any of the things above, but you can starve, die by the cold, die by the wolf’s and other wild animals. Remember what your supposed to be fighting for guardians.
-
Dreg, if your a thrall you're a mindless drone, and if you're a Psion, you can practice your powers and try to be a pilot and then escape to the Leviathan and work for Calus, who will free you and treat you like any other loyalist cabal. Dregs however have to work for their Captains, as few know of the Spider and the Scorn would -blam!- you up in the shore, best you could do is go to a place with less guardians.

Edited by DrippyChimp: 10/19/2018 5:23:30 PMIf a thrall kills a guardian permanently by herself, thats pretty impressive.
-
Not the thrall. Hive enjoy pain, says so in the abomination heist I think
-
Definitely the dreg. None of the fallen (to my knowledge) except Pirrha can permanently kill a guardian in the first place let alone a week.
-
Wait the trall killed a guardian? Like he’s cayde dead? Either way think of all the thrall you kill and how often the kill you. Think that is pretty good he gets pat on head
-
The Dreg seems pretty sad... But the Psion is just depressing
-
I'd be a psion. The only one of the options that can wipe a team serveral times because someone forgot to melee theirs.

The Psion
