Biography

Pre-Exo

"They called me Eustace. It means 'Steadfast.' It's like my parents have a lot of hope for me in the future or something."

— Eustace

Eustace was born to a successful businesswoman and a kind-natured father sometime during the Golden Age. Quiet and meek by nature, he often kept his distance from many other children growing up and was often lonely as a result. He was incredibly bright as a child, with a particular passion for astrophysics and astronomy and a dream to one day aid Golden Age scientists in their research in regards to the Traveler. He was close to both of his parents.

At the age of 16, his mother died suddenly and without a discernable cause, leading him to abandon high school early in favour of taking control of his mother's company before its acquisition by BrayTech. His father fell into heavy drinking in his grief, and Eustace began working from home to oversee his father's care before, under his father's encouragement, he resumed his education. Eustace graduated high school with full honours at the age of 22.

Again, with his father's encouragement, he left home to pursue college across the country, pursuing a Ph.D. in astrophysics. However, after only three years in school, he would be summoned back home by his father, who had relapsed. Eustace resumed care of his father, growing closer to him despite his deteriorating state. During this time, Eustace would sell his mother's company to BrayTech in order to better pay for his father's treatment and additional expenses, alongside handing the company off to people much more experienced than he was.

Despite the quiet albeit messy life Eustace led, he still yearned to return to school and finish his Ph.D.. At this time, however, he would be approached in writing by Clovis Bray, who offered to Eustace the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to participate in a revolutionary science program, and in exchange, BrayTech will fund any pursuits he may have. Eustace wrote back, accepting the offer with the anticipation of finishing his education, funding his father's care and possibly earning a job with BrayTech's space programs. He will leave home for the final time, heading to Europa.

Life In A New Body

"You're stuck with me, you know."

— Nebula-1

Eustace arrived on Europa and was subsequently brought to the Deep Stone Crypt, where he would be subjected to the Exomind program. He would take the name Nebula, considering it something much more fitting considering his circumstances, and his love of space. Nebula-1 maintained much of Eustace's gentle, meek nature. While on Europa and living on Eventide in anticipation of returning home, he resumed his education. He was bunked with another freshly-minted Exo, who wrote constantly in journals and was often bothered by Nebula's presence, going as far as calling him "My favourite parasite, after ringworm, rats with the plague, and Clovis Bray." Nebula, however, was kind to the other and often reached out to him. Despite his annoyances, Cayde would entertain conversation with him and had even written about him in his journals before departing for his installment at the Ishtar Collective.

Eventually, Nebula earned his doctorate in astrophysics. He will leave Eventide for a celebratory vacation, which was to be an Earth-wide tour, where he would ultimately meet his fate while skiing in what used to be North America when he was crushed to death by an avalanche.

— Nebula-10

Forsaken

"The Queen of Hearts tore a hole in the sky. She plucked away the stars, and she ate the Sun. We stood under an artificial eclipse knowing that it was no war, it was no negotiation. It was a witchhunt."

— Song of The Suneater, Ch.1

Trivia

• Nebula is the player-character of user CaydeOfSpaydes. He was the first Destiny character ever created by him.
  • Additionally, Cayde's Bungie username is derived from Nebula -- that username being Nebby10.
• He was designed first, named second, and developed third.
  • His colors are intended to invoke certain nebulae, such as the Helix Nebula or the Dumbbell Nebula, hence his name.

• Nebula does not have a definitive voice, but rather according to his creator, "Whatever you think he sounds like is good."
• There are multiple variants of Nebula, one such being his in-game counterpart.
• He was named after The Lament Of Eustace Scrubb by the Oh Hellos, which is in turn about the character of Eustace Scrubb from C.S. Lewis' Chronicles Of Narnia.
  • Additionally, elements of his character are in part inspired by both the song and the character.
