I’d imagine yes, but there’d be no reason too. If a ghost can resurrect you and give you all your limbs or whatever else, I don’t see why they couldn’t do this. The only evidence I can see conflicting with this is the issue of age. Guardians like Saladin and Osiris obviously look aged, which we understand to mean declining in our society but as guardians is that just an appearance? Or are they as virile as any other guardian?

  • I feel like if all of the above is true and Ghosts can biomanipulate guardians, then they could probably allow them to age if they want/need to. I can absolutely see children being raised to be guardians, and their Ghosts allowing them to age naturally vs aging them right away.

  • We don't really have any evidence to show that Saladin and Osiris [i]have[/i] aged since they were risen, either. It's possible they originally died at points later on in their respective lives, and when their ghosts first resurrected them, they were locked in that state (prevented from ageing further).

  • Fair point, but I believe the Rise of iron pre cutscene shows him with all black hair and no gray

  • It's highly likely that was just a continuity error. As far as Osiris goes, you have to remember that the Traveler's advancements gave humans a lifespan of 200+ years. Maybe he was older when he was chosen as a guardian. However, we might just be giving Bungle too much credit. It seems pretty clear that as each year passes, they think things through less and less.

  • I wonder then if it has to do with the time between rezzes that guardians age. That when our ghost resurrects us, we are brought back at the age which we previously died or were at when we were found by our ghosts for the first time. If Saladin hadn't died in a long time, that could explain why his hair looks like it has grayed. But then again, maybe it's just differences in lighting between cutscenes. It has always seemed to me that we either age much slower/live longer than pre-golden age humans or that the Light gives guardians prolonged life. Otherwise what we know of the story is a shorter time period than we might think. I haven't heard much of timelines of events surrounding the main characters personally.

  • Yeah it could just be that guardians age much slower with the traveler than what we are used to. At the beginning of D2, the speaker said after they found the traveler, human life span tripled. Like you said it’s hard to know the actual timeline of some of the events of the main characters but it could just be a combination of a lot of the different theories we discussed.
