Does our ghost have a name?
I have noticed all other Ghosts have a name, I however don't remember if ours had one, and if it did not can we eventually be able to give it a name?
-
If our ghost did have a name I would call him Cal
-
If Elmer Fudd was a Guardian, he'd call his ghost 'Wittle Wight!'

His name is Ghost. Our name is The Guardian. Bungie made it this way so we could head cannon whatever backstory, name, etc. we want for our character. Another reason why The Guardian doesn't speak much.

1 ReplyIt's unironically Ghost. It's what other characters call him in lorebooks.

I decided on a name for my ghost cause just calling it ghost doesn't feel right ya know, I mean we practically have known it for 10 years he deserves a name - hence mine is Astra

Edited by BarStool: 11/4/2024 6:18:46 PMOur ghosts name is Ghost Same situation as the player guardian. We are canonically a character in the narrative, but Bungie put themselves in a corner by making us a Character, and as a result, the name our guardian has is The Guardian. It’s entirely due to the fact that Bungie wants to allow people to put stand in characters, but they also want us to be narratively relevant to the Story. In other words, any name you come up for your Guardian and Ghost is not canonical to THE Guardian and their Ghost. We play that character in the story. You could argue that the name you come up with is applicable to the your Guardian inbetween Canon. For example, it’s Canon that the Guardian was apart of every Raid we played so far, but they are only one member of the 6 person fireteam. As a result, you can treat it as though The Guardian is another player and technically make your own named character as who your playing as currently. TL:Dr. the Guardian and Ghosts act as both a stand in for the players imagination and as Canonical characters resulting in weird situations like the Guardian having little narrative value despite a great deal of importance and power.

2 RepliesEdited by viiTactiiCZz: 11/5/2024 5:11:10 PM[quote]if it did not can we eventually be able to give it a name?[/quote] From a narrative preview years ago, A ghost* mentions that they'll consider what their own name will be. As far as we've called them (our own one*) its been 'Ghost' or in Elsies case 'Little Light', our Ghost doesn't like the latter one. So with the narrative preview showing Ghosts can pick and plus it telling Elsie in one activity it prefers Ghost, it's going by that. Realistically though, its whatever we name it - same thing as your own character. Edit: Clarified above due to this bit by BetweenMyself: [quote]zero confusion for those reading the excerpted quote without clicking through to the full lore entry you linked to, this is from a discussion between Cryptarch Tyra Karn and her unnamed Ghost rather than one between our canon Guardian and Ghost,[/quote] [quote]"Ghost, open a new file. Research Notes TK-48725.8, Category: Clovis Bray.” “I don’t like it when you call me that.” “What, ‘Ghost’? Oh, come now. We’ve been having this discussion for more than three centuries. Ghost is what you are, my friend. If you want a name so badly, choose one for yourself.” “Maybe I will. Now that everyone’s gone back to the Tower and we’re still out here, I have plenty of time to consider what my name should be.” “Can you open my file while you ponder the possibilities?”[/quote] https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/article/46779
