I've never been sure about this thing here. When a Guardian comes back in life, he remembers nothing about his own past. Always found this very intriguing but then... does a Guardian chose his own name after rebirth? Or does he remember it? I know that many Guardians have dreams about their past so, maybe, some of them could dream scenes of their past and ri-discover their names, but what for the others? And what about the Exos? Is the same thing for them?

I always was curious how a guardian becomes a certain character, there are obviously differences between the classes such as armour, all guardians can learn any subclass and get taught the subclasses so a Hunter can be a sunbreaker.

I have a theory about the names for our Guardians. Sadly, it's only for Hunters. When you are a Hunter, you are either called "Guardian" or "Hunter". What if when your Called "Hunter", they are calling you by your name and not your class. Basically, the Hunter characters name is Hunter.

*Zavala wakes up for the first time* Ghost: Hello there! I'm your ghost [blah blah blah] You may be suffering from do each impairment as a side effect of awekening! [Blah blah blah] Can you tell me your name? Zavala who was really named Zach: Za- Za- Zavaler Ghost: Can you repeat that? Zach: Zavalaler Ghost: Are you trying to say, "Zavala?" Okay! Zach: Zavalaler Ghost: Yes! Nice to meet you Zavala!

Apparently my guardian's name is Down.

Personally, it makes more sense to me if they are able to remember their old name. When they are reborn, they know how to walk, and talk, they don't relearn these things. They already know. It is probably the same with a name; it is your identity, so it persists through death. Unless we forget who we are each time we die.
-
Well seeing as there are no Guardians named Terry, Mohamed, Alison, or Pedro, or any other common name, I'd wager that they might remember some aspect of their birth given name, but they pick their own name later on. Unless culture and names have changed drastically in the relatively short 300 year span of the golden age. Seriously, who would name their kid Shaxx? Or Felwinter?
-
In death, a guardian has a name. His name...is Robert Paulsen.
-
Huh. Never thought about it. It's interesting because Exo names are usually a given name followed by a number. Like, Cayde-6 or Saint-14. This makes sense because these names almost resemble "model numbers" or versions. But if they were [i]revived[/i] as an exo, did they really choose those numbers as their modifiers? Maybe it was printed on their body somewhere?
-
They know their names. In the grimoire it's shown that Guardians have dreams or visions about their past lives when they sleep or die. Its safe to assume that the name persists if those snippets remain. This is evident in the names of all Exos too. Even if their bodies were labeled with their name, they wouldn't know their number, which dictates how many times they had been wiped.
-
Yes, but we all seem to choose "The Guardian". We're not a very bright lot.

Edited by twisted: 8/5/2017 10:37:37 PMI wish we at least had a name. I cringed at the moment during the rise of iron campaign when Saladin calls us "Lord Guardian". Edit: I get why we are called guardian, I just don't like when we are called lord guardian because it sounded weird and is just bad writing to be honest.

My Guardian says him name is ...

Don't waste our time with this nonsense, we have more important story busy to atten.... Oh wait. F*ck it sure why not chose whatever the f*ck name you want. Who gives a sh*t? The developers don't.

Edited by BannedMythicAccount: 8/5/2017 9:25:27 PMDude, they could be space aids infected zombies who defecate out of their mouths and grow bananas out their butthole and the majority of the game would still have no impact on that aspect of 'lore'
-
Thats a good question.. Id imagine they could pick a new name.. Im sure that is what Zavala, Ikora, and Cayde and the other guardians.
-
My guardian can't form a one-word response to a question dude, you think there's any type of thought process going on being that helmet? I imagine there's a Homer Simpson-esque scene playing out in his head at all times except the chimp's cymbals is replaced with endlessly firing double primaries.

It doesn't matter because we are mute, our ghosts speak for us, and the vanguard are the real main characters. We're just errand boys and girls. Probably robots.
