How Do Guardians Get Scars?
Remember in D1 when you could have scars?
if ghosts can heal, then why can guardians get scars?
can ghosts not reverse wounds that have mostly healed on their own and scarred? (like in a guardian's first life)
or do guardians just keep them as a fashion statement?

6 RepliesGuardian735219 You make some valid points and i agree that eververse must be removed from this game but,Some creatures of the Hive strain against the Will of Oryx. Alak-Hul the Darkblade is one such. Long ago he fomented rebellion against the King and attempted to take his mantle. Alak-Hul failed and now awaits the “mercy” of the Hive. Given the chance the Darkblade will step in to take Oryx’s crown. We must not allow another prince to rise.

There was this book series by Rick Riordan similar to his Percy Jackson series, but Egyptian. At one point the main duo asked Bastet why she didn't heal the wounds of all the stray cats they came across, when she was their goddess and had the power to. Bastet stated that the cats would not accept that, since those wounds were their battle scars, to be proudly worn for the rest of their lives. Perhaps scarred Guardians are similar. Perhaps a Guardian's will alone is enough to forgo certain blessings of the Light.

More like a memory than a fashion statement. Scar’s remind you of a fight or battle, so they choose to keep them.

Edgy Titans Stab themselves and don’t let their ghost heal them for 8 days.

... They shouldn't realistically, but it looks purrty so it's fine... [spoiler]not included in the DLC[/spoiler]

I'm not that familiar with the lore canon, but I would say, that guardians can either get scars when having them before their first-ever resurrection by the ghost and during the red war when they were disconnected from the light itself. Otherwise I would say, it could work everywhere they get them and they simply just tell their ghost to not heal that wound. Guardians are technically (in canon) Zombies of light or something in that way (that was at least told me). But I see it different. Guardians are still living beings. Without the light, they become mortal again, but with the light, they are immortal. It is like with Tyrael in Diablo 3. When he weared his wings, he was an angel, but as he rejected them, he became a human. I think, that guardians are like that. Just massively empowered human beings.

1 ReplyMy guardian used to bob for French fries before his ghost found him in the Cosmodrome...pre-existing condition.

3 RepliesThere are 2 lore reasons for scars on guardians that we know of. 1. Ghosts can only revive up you to the state of your first death. Meaning any scars you obtained in your first life would exist on your guardian body as well. 2. Ontological attacks can scar guardians. Ontology is the state of being or existing. Ontological attacks are attacks that question our state of being with the laws of realty/the “logic” of the faction we’re fighting (Hive Sword Logic or the Vex’s “Pattern” Logic) Most of these attacks are capable of wiping us from reality, but some ontological attacks can also happen on a smaller scale to cause scaring. For example a Hunter travelled into the Black Garden in a vision. There he encountered a flower in the shape of a ghost that spoke to him (we now believe this to be another manifestation of the darkness) at the end of their conversation the hunter picked a flower, and was pricked by its thorn. When he awoke the wound from the thorn was still there. It never healed.

Anti light attacks, like thorn. It’s like Ban from 7 Deadly Sins, he can heal but scarred from Meliodus’ demon power

Edited by Oddish43: 10/26/2019 7:20:10 PMA Guardian might choose to keep a battle scar that's a part of him. In the movie "Face/Off", John Travolta's character (the good guy) has to be cosmetically altered to pass for Nicholas Cage's character. This includes the removal of a scar. He asks the surgeon to restore it after the affair is over, because of its significance to him. Also, in my long-running multi-author Potterverse series, my character got really bent out of shape when someone magically erased a battle scar he received earlier in life. It's a little like Shaxx: would it be that hard for his Ghost to regenerate his lost horn? The single horn on his helmet is probably significant to him. In a similar vein, why else would Osiris look old? It's probably by choice. Undoubtedly, all Guardians are in prime physical condition. Osiris probably has the body of a 25-year-old. But he chooses to look like someone's 70-year-old grandfather.

The drifter has scars and he was revived by his ghost (man with no name lore). I think those scars are later then that. He talks about encounters with things in the dark and on the ice planet.

From our mortal days.

3 RepliesYou’re only healed up to the moment of your death. If you had a scar before death it stays on the guardian I guess

Because when Bungie cuts, They cut Deep!

2 RepliesBecause damaged DNA is still your DNA. It's why Guardians can be old and have grey hair too. Ghost revives are just pulling you from a neighboring timeline where you didn't die and making a copy.
-
1 ReplyMaybe they are like vampires,scars up until the point of change remain.

2 Replies3 thoughts: 1: The Ghost's healing is in a broader scale and just refreshes all of your body generally. 2: Its possible that a Ghost is just causing you to rapidly heal, because scars rarely truly heal, that could be it. 3: The guardian asks to keep the scar.

Edited by superluigi6968: 10/26/2019 7:59:01 AMOkay, I see the people saying that it's from before you were rezzed, which I agree with, but... ...Wouldn't it be so much cooler to tell people that you had a tangle with a Knight wielding a cursed blade that scarred you in a way that not even the Light can fix, and that it might even be slowly killing you?
-
6 RepliesYou had a scar before you died. It’s also been shown way back in the Grimoire that someone experienced a scar while communicating with the Darkness in a vision. So, I would say that’s a likely source. Got grazed by a Thorn bullet? Potentially that would become a scar
-
It's a Ghost, not a plastic surgeon.
-
Far as I know they don’t alter us from our normal mortal life. My Guardian has the scarred face and blind eye. The revival process has never been explained.

Fashion statements I imagine

Because sometimes you get hurt and don't die?
