while i'm more or less not procrastinating might throw some callulah here (or should I call it t8 lol)

Just always seem to be drawn to each other yk?

What do Hunters get you might ask? Well that's simple: They have each other! It goes:

• meet under unlikely circumstances

• develop lifelong bond

• get into a stupid mess

• one of them dies in (or as a consequence of) said stupid mess

Character information. below the cut.

This is not to reflect any personal bias of us, it's just that everyone knows who Cayde is and information on Caliban is from ONE Hunter exotic.

*leans into the mic*

Tallulah/Tevis/Caliban.

They develop a routine. Every morning Dart wakes Nettle with a weather report. As the ghost scolds her into doing house keeping for their temporary shelter (they're small campsites really), they present any tower news that has come in. Dart likes doing different voices based on subjects. Together they go over any information from Caliban-8. There's not usually much but Dart says he's probably feeling guilty because he didn't have time to mentor her, because when they do get information, it's usually a bunch of forwarded reports.

After going over intel, they conceal the shelter and move out. Nettle-11 spends most of the day sitting in a sniper nest, watching fallen scurry about scavenging. She and Dart listen to the chatter, whispering to each other as Dart records, trying to translate everything.

Eventually the fallen depart. Nettle will sometimes follow them, creating small nests for future use. More often she returns to shelter where she writes a report with Dart for Caliban-8. Then she performs equipment maintenance before going to bed.

After the fall of the Iron Lords, the Speaker established the Consensus and the Vanguard. For them he sets the Warlock Vanguard (and Commander) as Osiris and the Titan Vanguard as Saint-14. The very first Hunter Vanguard would be Tallulah Fairwind.

She would go on to participate in the Great Ahamkara Hunt where the first Hunter Dare would be established between her and Caliban-8. Unfortunately, she loses and is killed by the Ahamkara, causing Caliban-8 becomes the new Hunter Vanguard much to his dismay.

It’s unknown who followed up behind Caliban or how many Hunter Vanguards followed, but it is said there’s been quite a few Hunter Vanguards. There have also been several instances of the position sitting empty for a while. The dares eventually lead to a Hunter Vanguard dying without any sign of their Dare.

Two years later, Andal and Cayde-6 make a Dare: a race to see who can get Taniks first, with the loser becoming Vanguard. Cayde-6 won and Andal Brask became the Hunter Vanguard for some time. Unfortunately, his time would be cut short when Taniks somehow returned to life and killed him. Cayde-6 would avenge him and become the Hunter Vanguard, only to be further plagued by Taniks coming back to life several more times.
