Omg i mostly reblogged that for reference and didn't expect any asks, but sure!!

Where was your guardian raised?

my main warlock Cyane was raised in the ocean! Probably somewhere in the western pacific. she was quite deep down since she died somewhere that kinda eventually sank during all the tectonic chaos of the Collapse. her ghost had to rez her underwater because he couldn't reach her from the surface. that did make for a rather chaotic first experience of being reborn only to half-drown, but she managed to follow her ghost's light to the surface like a guiding star. she eventually named him Phosphoros because of that. her ghost (not the canon young wolf's ghost, she is not the wolf) loves his name but he's terribly embarrassed about it, so he mostly goes by Sporos.

2. What race is your Guardian?

she's a human! mixed ethnicity because i'm projecting lol

3. What do they look like?

Dark brown hair and eyes (I gave her the character creator mullet and it's grown on me even if bungie wont give me dark enough hair options that aren't black lmao), tan skin, average height and build but Buff Leg lol (body diversity bungie plsss)

4. Guardian's name?

Cyane! this is actually a subtle reference to my og gaming roots in Myst from Cyan studios lol (and Riven was already taken by a raid boss lmao)

5. Defining features?

is this like. physical appearance? personality? oc lore? she's a pretty average looking human lol, no tattoos or augments. character-wise she is obsessed with the Black Garden and that's her Thing

6. What's their Ghost's name?

nicknamed Sporos or occasionally Phở, he will do the ghost equivalent of blushing and stammering if you fullname him Phosphoros. he doesn't wanna sound pretentious like some of those other warlocks' ghosts, but that story of cyane's first rez is very precious to him and to their relationship and he is very sentimental and embarrassed about it but will only tell you about it under duress lol

9. Guardian's preferred weapon/weapons?

Trinity Ghoul. my beloved. this is mostly just because of my play style, i fuckign love bows

10 & 11. Guardian's class/subclass?

Warlock, Stormcaller! Also a Strand user, but not Stasis. Occasionally uses Void, infrequently Solar (until she learns to use it more after season of the Haunted)

19. If your Guardian left behind audio logs like Cayde did after his death, what would they say? Who would they be addressed to?

Ooooh interesting. she would definitely leave one for her best friend and sometimes fireteam member, hunter Phi-9. since Cyane is realistic about the high probability of her own death in the Black Garden because she researches it so much, the main message is telling Phi not to go there looking for her or anything that remains of her. Phi has some extreme trauma relating to the Garden and Cyane does not want her caught up in it again, especially if she's not there to support her anymore

Other than that, there are some of the expected sentimental farewells and items/research willed to other friends, both other oc's and actual npc's whom she is close to, including Eris, Osiris, Saladin, and Drifter.
