| | GUARDIANS ARE LITTLE PUSSY ASS BITCHES AND MASTER CHIEF IS BETTER |
| The '''Guardians''', once known as '''The Risen''', are a group of protectors tasked with defending [[the Last City]] against the forces of the [[Darkness]].
| |
| | |
| ==Overview==
| |
| The Guardians' origins are rooted in the origins of the Last City itself, in the [[Dark Age]] that followed the [[Collapse]].<ref>[http://www.destinythegame.com/au/en/game/story '''Bungie''' ''Destiny Story'']</ref> In the earliest days, when the survivors of the Collapse were gathering beneath the [[Traveler]] and groups like [[Takanome's Rangers]] were all that separated refugees elsewhere from certain death, the Guardians were known as The Risen. Having been granted the power to wield the [[Light]] by their [[Ghost]]s, The Risen lacked a common, unifying purpose, and took up roles as enforcers and bodyguards for the first [[Faction]]s. As the Factions feuded over their competing ideologies and competed for influence among the residents of the fledgling city under the Traveler, some of The Risen became disillusioned and abandoned their Factions, seeking a higher purpose. With tensions between the Factions already near the boiling point, this triggered the [[Faction Wars]], a violent conflict that only ended when The Risen ceased fighting each other in order to unite against a new enemy that threatened them all: the [[Fallen]]. In the end, the Fallen were repelled, the Factions' iron grip was broken, the city under the Traveler became the Last City with massive walls erected to protect it, and The Risen became known as the Guardians.<ref name="RA">'''Bungie (2014-12-10)''', ''Destiny: The Taken King, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Allies/Legends & Mysteries#Rezyl Azzir - Before These Walls|Rezyl Azzir - Before These Walls]]''</ref>

| | |
| Guardians of the present are chosen from the ranks of ancient dead by the [[Ghost]]s of the [[Traveler]],<ref>[http://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/283wsu/how_to_read_your_grimoire_cards/ '''Destiny the Game''' - ''How to read your Grimoire cards'']</ref> and have defended the [[City]] for centuries. However, that defense cannot hold out forever.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-6-12)''', ''Destiny: Alpha PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Guardian#Guardians|Guardians]]''</ref> Guardians are charged with the protection of humanity's survivors, but many have splintered off into other groups with their own agendas. For example, it is commonplace for Guardians to align with one of the City's many Factions for support. Some, however, leave the City altogether, such as those aligned with [[Concordat]] or the Cult of [[Osiris]]. Few have turned their back on the Light and humanity, such as the villainous [[Dredgen Yor]].
| |
| | |
| Guardians are equipped with an advanced arsenal of weaponry and vehicles, as well as the ability to channel the Traveler's [[Light|power]] (referred to by some as "magic").<ref>[http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/02/17/bungies-destiny-a-land-of-hope-and-dreams?page=1 '''IGN''' ''Bungie's Destiny: A Land of Hope and Dreams]</ref> It is said that Guardians rarely speak.<ref name="FWCReddit">[http://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/2a08mn/tower_npcs_breakdown_the_jovians_osiris_the_great/ '''Tower NPCs Breakdown''': ''The Jovians, Osiris, The Great Pyramid, Sun Legion, Ragnarök, etc.'' (Part 2)]</ref>

| | |
| Thanks to their Ghosts, Guardians are effectively immortal in most situations. They take advantage of this fact in a number of ways, whether its the live-fire training exercises of the [[Crucible]], or by making new discoveries via visions as [[thanatonaut]]s. However, Guardians can be permanently killed if their light is drained by a powerful enemy, or if their Ghost is destroyed.

| | |
| ==Gameplay==
| |
| There are three classes of Guardian: [[Hunter]]s, [[Warlock]]s, and [[Titan]]s. Hunters utilize swiftness, accuracy, and stealth. Warlocks have the least amount of armor but the fastest regeneration, and utilize a variety of projectile attacks in their abilities. Titans are able to both take and deal massive amounts of damage, prioritizing either one depending on their subclass. <ref>[http://www.forbes.com/sites/michaelvenables/2013/02/17/bungies-destiny-unveiled '''Forbes.com''' ''Bungie's Destiny Unveiled'']</ref> Titans emphasize armor and raw power, while warlocks emphasize the use of their magical abilities and agility. Hunters fall in between both classes.<ref>[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2013/12/11/jason-jones-the-destiny-interview.aspx?PostPageIndex=2 '''Gameinformer''': ''Jason Jones - The Destiny Interview'']</ref> The Guardians include members of the [[human]], [[Awoken]] and [[Exo]] races, and can be either male or female.
| |
| | |
| While the choice of race is mostly aesthetic, the choice of class will have more impact. Note that all three classes have access to the same weapons, and are not "locked in" to any particular role. However, each class can specialize in a particular direction depending on which subclass the player is using. Choice of subclass will determine what [[Super]] the player can use, as well as what bonuses and other lesser abilities they'll have access to. Subclasses can be leveled up and switched on the fly, allowing a single character a degree of flexibility for different combat scenarios.
| |
| | |
| Guardians have three base stats determined by their choice of subclass: Armor (shield strength), Agility (movement speed and jump height), and Recovery (shield regeneration speed). Each class emphasizes each of these stats differently, but can be modified slightly. Choice of armor can boost any of the three cooldown stats: Strength (melee cooldown), Discipline (grenade cooldown), and Intellect (Super cooldown).
| |
| | |
| While players gain levels with experience, these levels are mainly for determining what gear and missions are unlocked. The player's actual strength is determined by [[Light]] levels. Light represents the average attack and defense values of the player's currently equipped weapons and armor; every mission has a recommended light level, so players who meet that recommendation are more likely to succeed said mission.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/3hgllk/the_taken_king_reveal_teaser_destiny_year_two/ '''Reddit''': The Taken King Reveal Teaser - Destiny Year 2]</ref> Generally speaking, items with more [[rarity]] have a higher light level than others.
