Edited by E Sword of LORD: 11/21/2016 9:17:51 PMLore Section READ SPOILER FIRST! [spoiler]https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Post/1296685/218404019/0/0[/spoiler] From this broad environment we construct we can setup public story/various art contest, rotating platforms with style. Ex: Destiny finds this place, We all are stuck in our separate spaces and have to design various things we can do together, Suddenly a bunch of tribes of people are thrown onto a planet together and it is our job to get them to this place, Bungie community spawns in the environment... With Atheon unarmed and VoG rules, you can pick a teammate and setup a game for the group to play in a place we vote on, etc. This thread is where we discuss and vote on story ideas we come up with for contests. [u]Lore edit[/u] My sample: [spoiler] The Guardian sat down on the couch. In His very light felt like weight. Never had he questioned his duties to the Light. The Tower, the war, fellow guardians, the vanguard, The speaker, even the Traveler had been topics he had questions about. The light was unwavering force in his mind. That was before he heard ...[i]that voice[/i]. Unlike anything he had ever heard before. First had come a simple statement. Words spoken directly into his mind. "I'm here." Anonymous in source with exception to the power it wielded the guardians mind had simultaneously frozen and stimulated his thoughts on a level beyond any comparison. As his mind reeled to formulate a response, he heard the voice answer the word. Sounding like a perfectly harmonized beauty formed of every voice heard the guardian had ever heard, and many more, some so beautiful the desire to listen forever was immediate. With every rumble of it's elegance the voice radiating euphoria like an explosion, the voice Spoke answered, "I need that." Agreement sprang into action and in the following silence was a deafening roar of movement as the guardian's mind contemplated things. More questions than could be handled at once came at the guardian and then change. It had felt simply like movement of the Light. Then knowing only, These people need peaceful change. Then sleep. Dreams like a wall of text leaped and danced before the guardians eyes. A group of forums about a game called Destiny. Conversation about the very making of The Tower, Guardians, The Hive, Vex, Cabal, The Traveler, all talked about throughout all timelines, past, present, and future. A collection of pictures and videos was arranged amidst the text. And text pertaining a race of people who played the game. Amidst the text where stories and tales of other games. And a strange section called of topic. Collections of topics discussing virtually every thing. Piles of jest and random material grouped with music and videos of an endless variety. Then there were topics pertaining to the very nature of life and ethics itself. Sometimes text claiming to come from guardians was there making it harder to tell where the guardian ended and the game began. As the data was assembled and collected the Light seemed to coalesce in a river that connected all the text them created a course through it and finally channeled its way into the guardian. The Light usually called upon for power settled upon the guardian as weight that was the guardians body. The Guardian remembered it's promise and awoke... Now feeling only the surety of the change coming and the Light upon every part of the guardian's body and the surety of the change coming, the guardian gazed at The Traveler. The Guardian's only question was, "How can we be better?" The Traveler answered: Think about where you keep the impact the lore in a game has on you. That is the place where lore is kept in this game. It's not given to you without your input because it is your legend. This is a community made game. It's obvious you could game with one group and end up with another who interpret the story in an entirely different way. I think it's our job as guardians to find and keep the lore that can make the light burn brighter. They gave us all the metaphorical linkage we need. Doing so and keeping things as open as they did is impressive. To me here it may start with asking the flower a question. "How can I do better." All this is something developers do when writing story for us. If you don't see this story is at least as good as Halo, you need to take another look. I personally don't like violence. I play because I respect the process. I hang around forums because I respect others, as part of the community. The visual games story I might not like openly at all times. The story of my guardian... Well so far I'm just as entrenched as I was in Halo. Possibly more so in a certain way of thinking. What things do you read and think "man if that was me I'd..." More important, what times does the light tingle throughout your body, we you think of what you would do. It may take many times to get this feeling from certain points in the game. But we have replay ability for that. And forums. And an app for grimmore. And the internet beyond. Anytime you want to talk to think about things we'll be here. Waiting to help shine a light. Find yours. Share with others. Did you ever notice heroes are in sync with all the heroes around them? One hero compliments each other with coordinated effect. We are all heroes in sync with each other as characters and players of Destiny. Furthermore we are are heroes with heroes who read and believe in Comic books. (We are a group of people who interact with the rules you must be a hero to interact in any way with another hero.) We are here to make each other better before we go on. Let's do that in a way we can do it better after we did that.[/spoiler] Burn Bright Guardian.
