Just a fun thread with a bit of lore mixed in. The taken grimoire cards feature what I assume is the darkness itself talking to the poor souls taken by Oryx. It talks to them, understands them and offers them a special knife, so that they might become more than they currently are. Remember that the knife is not something you desire, it is something that betters you, makes you whole. I'm gonna do an all out grimoire style but you can just post the shape if you want.
[quote]You are Subtlespartan. Though you speak and move like the others your mind is green in a sea of blue. Your stretch to understand things beyond your mortal coil.
You have been taken.
Put your mind at rest. There are no questions here, only truth. All colours and shades are present and understood.
What knowledge do you seek? What thoughts burn at your conscience?
You seek to help others. To guide them to the truth and teach them to see it as it is. But they do not follow. You hold out your hand in offering and they turn away from you. They do not understand.
You must have their trust.
There is a knife for you. It is shaped like [I am your friend].
Take up the knife. Trust in its truth. Take your new shape.[/quote]
The knife can be as deep or as trivial as you want, just be sure to make it sound cool.

You are DerKungFuhrer. Though you have trained to fight Kung Fury and Jew Jitsu all your life, you long for an end to the fight. You have been taken. Put your mind at rest. There are no opponents here, only truth. All martial artists are subvert and aryan. What art do you seek? What war plans burn at your conscience? You seek to cleanse the people of the world. You wish to make them pure and right through hand to hand combat. But they do not bend. You show them the flaws of the others, but they would still oppose your will. They do not understand. You must have their support. There is a knife for you. It is shaped like [showers at camp]. Take up the knife. Clear the way into the future. Take your new shape. [spoiler]No I'm not a nązi, I'm just a fan of Kung Fury.[/spoiler]

Edited by Grendelthetroll: 4/14/2016 6:58:08 AMThought I'd do something different and do some for the Vanguard. *ahem* Grimoire: Zavala, Hammer of Oryx. You are Commander Zavala. A Vanguard of the City. Iron-strong pillar of the Tower. Veteran of the Battle of Twilight Gap. Mentor to so many and beacon of authority. You have been taken. Put down your weapons. Lower your Fist. Pull down your Ward. There is nothing to fight here. You have been at the helm of duty for so long. How many strategies have you weighed? How many sleepless nights have you spent mulling over possible threats, probable and improbable? Was your unyielding resolve worth it? The City prospers, the Guardians grow in strength, and yet you still have a sharp seed of doubt; constant vigilance is the price you pay. There is a knife for you. It is shaped like [certainty]. Take it. You will no longer worry. You need not constantly scrutinize every corner of a map to tease out some hidden threat. Take up the knife. Be sure of yourself. Take your new shape. ****************** Next up is Cayde-6.

Edited by Astral Centipede: 12/30/2015 1:48:23 AM[quote]You are KAGEHOSHI. A long-dead machine of war reforged by the Traveler to spread lies and hope. A warlock: warrior scholar in practice of the arcane. You use knowledge and theory with great and terrible application. You are strong, and even the ascendant fall before your might. Strength is not enough; you seek the forbidden truths. You have been taken. Cease your endless curiosity. Let your weary mind take comfort. The secrets of the Deep are one with you now. What passions drives your mind? To what great works will your knowledge be utilized? In curiosity you trespass into my realm to scavenge my fragmented books. You learned of my grand works, the final shape, and thousands fall to your light as you make yourself sharp through the sword logic. You've studied worm larvae while hiding from your allies — seeking knowledge of the eleven axioms of the ascendant realms, and to take the power of ontology from the deep. The light limits your might; you cannot grow sharper. Secrets elude your grasp, but you've learned enough to know it is Darkness, the Deep, that is the final shape. You must reject the light, and through your will you shall force reality into the shape of your truth. There is a knife for you. It is shaped like [[b]geometer[/b]]. Take up the knife. Cut out enemies from space itself. Take your new shape.[/quote] "Geometer" Ability: I focus my gaze at one area at a time. Enemies in the targeted gaze zone become temporarily "torn between dimensions," and then are gradually removed from existence if they do not get out of the gaze zone in time. After a few seconds of focusing my gaze at one spot, Taken are pulled into existence there

You were called John, once. You've saved countless lives, defeated insurmountable odds more times than you can count; You've crushed your enemies under your heel again and again. You have lost countless friends along the way... You have been taken. Why do you protect them? They are weak, and undeserving of your aid. Such strength you exibit, and what do you receive in return? Praise and trinkets from the unworthy. Lay down your weapons, Spartan. Come find eternal peace in my embrace. There is a knife for you. It is shaped like [Blissful Amnesia]. Take up the knife, Master Chief, and finish the fight...

There's a knife for you, take it it's shaped like [logic].

*Somewhere in a beach house on the shores of eternal darkness* -Mustafa: Look at this knife. Now look at me. Look back at the knife. Now back to me. A storm cloud, gently showering diamonds upon you. You're in a dream. Or are you? -Crews: (Screaming) YOU'RE NOT. YOU'RE TAKEN. AND YOU DON'T NEED A KNIFE. YOU NEED A BODYWASH THAT GIVES YOU [b]POWERRRRRR[/b]. -Mustafa: Get off of my shoulders. *one arms Crews through a window* -Mustafa: Now where were we..oh him? Don't mind him. Let's talk about knives, no, let's talk about [b][i]you[/i][/b]. As I whisk you away on the sailboat of your dreams, tell me everything about yourself over the course of this beautiful candlelit dinner. The bear playing the piano? He's here to set the mood, I thought you'd like him. *Through a porthole in the sailboat* -CREWS (may as well just spell his name in all caps at this point...): (Again, screaming) YOU STINK. YOU'VE BEEN ROTTING IN AN INTER DIMENSIONAL VORTEX FOR THREE WEEKS NOW. YOU NEED THE POWER OF OLD SPICE. YOU NEED THE POWER OF [b][i][u]BEAARRRRGLOOOVVVVEEE[/u][/i][/b] *Crews fist bumps the bear* *the sailboat explodes into glimmer* *you're flying through the air* -Mustafa: So, what can I make the knife of your [b][u]dreams[/u][/b] to be? -CREWS (flying by): [b][i]BEAR[/i][/b] -Mustafa: A knife of opal, crafted in a wellspring of unicorn tears? -CREWS (flying by in the other direction): [[b][i]GLOVE[/i][/b] -Mustafa: Perhaps in the shape of an Eagle feather, forged in brilliant fire at the base of mountains made of solid white gold? *crashing through the roof of a Victorian mansion* *landing in a velvet chair, sat by a lit fireplace and a copy of war and peace* -Mustafa: Tell me. What knife shall I make for you? *raises eyebrows* *CREWS crashes through the ceiling, but only his head makes it through* -CREWS: POWERRRRRRR *The mansion explodes*

Edited by Ultimate NEAC: 10/8/2016 11:34:37 PMYou are (redacted).The rose. Inspiration to many, hero to all. A light shining in the darkest abyss. You have been taken. Be still, fight no more. Your time of hollow fame and glory are over. No more will the people the city look in awe at (redacted). What turned you down this dark path? What caused you question the light that brought you to be? Doubt. Doubt slithered in, stealthier than any hunter. You kill, you kill every thing in your way, every creature that dared oppose you. But it was not enough. Every one you kill ten grow in its place, so you questioned, questioned the light itself. You must question no more. You must understand. There is a knife for you. It is shaped like. [smite the light]. Take it. Give into the abyss. Destroy what you once fought for.

Edited by LibertarianCajun: 9/24/2015 4:20:38 AM[quote](I'm a nerd and named my Titan Honos, Latin for honor.) [i]You are Honos, the Brawler, bane of the Cabal and champion of the Future War Cult. Your comrades regard you as one of the most fearsome warriors in the Sol system. You have led your fellow Guardians into battle against mighty foes and emerged triumphant. You have been taken. You seek the truth of reality, you spend your sleepless nights buried in thought. You wonder if your people should flee or stand and fight. You question your loyalties, and you are unsure of your choice in allegiance. Stop the torment of your consciousness, there are no questions here. You have a knife it is shaped like [peace of mind]. Take your knife, trust in its truth, take your new shape.[/i][/quote]

Edited by GrumpyDadpool: 9/23/2015 10:30:41 PMI thought it was the darkness talking as well until I got to Mengoor and Kagoor cards and it references oryx directly as the one speaking.

You are benpears16, a guardian, an explorer, an adventurer. You have raided, you have hunted, you have fought time and time again. But you have never know rest, you hunger for more. Your efforts laid to waste by the rewards of your work, in the face of the light and the darkness. Rest now, you have been taken. Take this knife, it is shaped like [peace].

Edited by ShadeWarlock0: 10/20/2015 10:06:36 PMYou are Variable55. Conquerer of Atheon, Vanquisher of Crota, Capturer of Skolas, and Banisher of Oryx. You spend your time solely following one path, the path of the light. You have been taken. Activate your mind. Look into it. There is more than just the light. What knowledge do you seek? What thoughts burn at your conscience? You seek to save the world. To make everything as it should be. You want to do what is right, and what is right is what is good. But that is not always the case. You must see the threads. There is a knife for you. It is shaped like [many forms]. Take up the knife. Trust in its change. Take your new shape. Edit: Funny one. You are John Cena. Take up the knife. It is shaped like [JOHN CENAAAAAAA!!!!!!] Take your new shape.

Show them why they live within walls rather than the wild.

Edited by eaddles: 10/16/2015 12:05:01 AMYou are JackSparrow, a pirate. You have pillaged and plundered the seven seas, been to the end of the world and back. You have been Taken. Lower your flag, set aside your jar of dirt. There is no mutiny or navy here, everything works as one. What drives your plunder. What brings you to ravage the oceans? Freedom. The freedom to travel the world as you please, in search of treasure and adventure. The freedom to break the shackles of society and escape reality. This freedom needs a catalyst. There is a knife for you. It is shaped like [Why is the rum gone?] Take up the knife. Drink deep of it. Take your new shape.

You are JuiceJOW. You are worthless, always at the bottom of the leaderboard. You rely on your mates to carry you all the time. If you didn't know a few good jokes then they probably wouldn't even like you. Take the metaphorical knife. Carve your ne- "Ouch, that's really sharp!" *ahem* Carve your new shape. It is shaped like [skill] Now your KD is above 1. You now refrain from 'accidentally' jumping off cliffs in patrol. You are a scrub no more. However, it is important to note that most elitist raid teams with high expectations will still turn you down...sorry man.

Edited by Timeless: 10/20/2015 1:35:51 AMThis is my Hunter's: [quote]You are crazycruses, he who slayed Atheon, Crota, and Skolas. You have been taken. Do not try to resist, your light is already gone, given to others to feast upon. There is no need to fear here. Why do you charge headfirst into battle recklessly? Perhaps to keep your fire team safe, or perhaps you do not fear death, as you have conquered it many times. But you feel fear anyway. You fear for those around you, fearing that they will die a painful death, this is what has happened. Do not distress yourself, feed off of their sacrifice, become stronger. There is a knife for you. It is shaped like [no fear]. Take up the knife. Fear no more. Take your new shape.[/quote] I'm proud of this. Excited to see others.
