Hello everyone, Muzzy here. Today, I want to explain the physiology of Guardians and hopefully clear up a few misconceptions about what they can and can’t do.
NOTE: This strictly applies to Human and Awoken Guardians as we don’t know how Exos work in the lore yet.
[b]1. Guardians have limitless (or near limitless) energy.[/b] Have you ever wondered how it is that your Guardian can sprint without ever needing to rest? This is because a Guardian’s body is filled with a power known as Light. Light, alongside giving Guardians amazing abilities to be used in combat, also acts as an always-on power generator, giving energy to the muscles of a Guardian, enabling them to sprint for incredibly long periods of time.
[b]2. Guardians need to eat and drink.[/b] Despite having limitless energy, Guardians apparently do need to eat in order to survive. While many people believe that Guardians do not need to eat or drink, they actually do. Why this is a necessity when Guardians are regularly being resurrected and don’t need the energy from food anyways, I don’t know.
[b]3. Guardians don’t age.[/b] I’ve discussed this before in another post, but it merits mentioning again. After being bonded to a Ghost, a Guardian becomes immortal. The Ghost has the ability to completely regenerate matter, by either taking molecules and breaking them and reforming them into what is needed to make a body, or by completely breaking physics (which the Light and Traveler already do, so…). Because a Ghost can rebuild a body even after complete disintegration, it also has the ability to replace/regenerate and dead/dying cells that make up a Guardian’s body. This is why we don't see any organic Guardians with prothetic replacements. The Ghost can just rebuild the limb after the Guardian's next resurrection.
[b]4. Guardians have increased physical strength[/b]
While I’m sure that most of you are shaking your head and thinking something along the lines of, “well duh,” it’s still something that needs to be said. Everyone knows that Titans have immense super strength that far outclasses the other Guardians. What you may or may have not known is that all Guardians benefit from increased strength, not just the Titans. (Although the Titans obviously have even more than the others.)
That about wraps this up. Let me know what your thoughts are in the comments and be sure to bring up any other points that I may have missed. Have a fantastic day, Guardians.

Edited by Lord Ded: 3/30/2017 4:58:11 AMThanks for this post of awesome info I didn't know so what's your thoughts on this In Destiny 2 I think we might get multiple ghost voice actors for two reasons 1: We want it 2: Logically in the world of Destiny every guardian has their own ghost because the ghost brings the guardian back to life they are connected without the ghost the guardian can't respawn and without the guardian the ghost has no meaning for existence(the sad reality) each guardian has his own personal ghost that is his alone always was always will be which leads me to say that each ghost is unique meaning that most likely each ghost has it own voice so the fact that Bungie hasn't already given us multiple ghost voices I kind of odd that would mean there's millions of guardians with the same ghost who picked them up at the same time which means every guardian that currently exists(Us) is actually one guardian all together which would therefore mean us in a singular guardian saved the system several times over from enemies like Atheon, Skolas, Crota, Oryx and Aksis while also creating mental illusions in our own head that we had teammates fighting along with us when in reality us a single guardian did it we killed gods with our hands alone but not alone lololol Basically as of right now there only exists one ghost and one guardian who did every thing we think we did unless bungie corrects this mistake by giving us more ghost voices (because like I said each ghost is unique to its guardian because their connected so the ghosts should each have their own voice) if they do well we can just say that millions of guardians were reseructed at the exact same spot then we can magically fill in our new ghosts voice in our heads with the original Destiny ghost scenes and forget this flusie ever happened
