Well folks, we are getting closer and closer to the big release day of[b] Destiny[/b], and of course, our little roleplaying forum [b][i]BECOMING LEGEND[/i][/b]. As such, I figure it would be prudent to take a moment and introduce ourselves to one another. Roleplaying is an excellent way to form lasting relationships and entertaining discussions, so let's start that here. Share a little about yourselves: Your preferred class, any character or roleplaying/plot ideas you've come across, destinations in the Solar System you really want to see, and heck, maybe even your time zone in the Real World so you can find folks closer to your schedule to Fireteam up with at full release.
On the flip side, for our followers or members who have not yet decided to join our clan, feel free to introduce yourselves as well. All will be welcome on the forum, including non-followers. Heck, I'm even betatesting rules for roleplayers who cannot play the console game, but would love to make a Destiny Character, so even if you're not going to buy the game, feel free to join the conversation. And if you are part of another Clan or Group, by all means, feel free to request an Alliance; allies are as welcome as Clanmates here.

Good morning everyone. I'm Butch, and if you're wondering why I'm talking about the morning when it's clearly not, that's because I'm sitting at home on the bottom of the world in Auckland, New Zealand (NZDT, UTC +12) where it's currently tomorrow for all you US types. Greetings from the future! All is well. Don't eat that dodgy burrito. You'll regret it in the morning. So a little about me, as relates to the subjects at hand. I'm pretty green really. I haven't done any roleplaying for a long time, my last experiences being tabletop with AD&D and Star Wars RPGing in the mid 90s. I drifted away from all of that after high school, but I still have a few embers of imagination burning back there somewhere. I came upon the Curators whilst feeding my addiction for Destiny lore, and am quite taken with the idea of interacting with the Destiny world in this way. Obviously I have no experience with RPing on forums, so I'll be finding my feet a bit to begin with, but fortunately I've got all of you to help me with that, right? I've been following Destiny since Bungie have been allowed to talk about it. I've drifted away from gaming over the last 7-8 years, aside from the odd brief flirtation with specific titles that have caught my fancy. I essentially missed the entire last generation of consoles, after my original xbox died in 2006 or so. Thats all about to change, I've got a shiny new PS4 (gamer tag El_Butch, lets get amongst it) and I'm ticking down the days to 9/9. I've been a fan of Bungie since my brother invited me into the computer science labs at Otago University in the mid-90s to play 8 player Marathon death matches, and I've been really captivated by this world that they've created. I'm reserving judgement on any choices I make regarding characters to role-play in the Destiny universe until after the game is released and I've got some more time playing it, I believe there is just so much about this world that we don't know yet that is going to influence these decisions. That said, if I had to pick one class RIGHT NOW, it'd be a Hunter, because a nonchalantly thrown blade to a fallen forehead in between shots has got style, and I'm all about style. I look forward to meeting and sharing time with you all. Adventure is afoot.
