001: Group Introductions - TEXT

[tarnishedavenger]

[During a lull in the party, Armstrong taps out a quick message to the network. Not that private one, he doesn't trust it. They can answer whenever they like, so long as he gets an answer. The trick would be wording it.]

So, we're all in this for now. You've had your welcome cake, but you can't meet everyone in a party, no matter how hard you try. But, since we've all been encouraged to sign up with Jorgmund, I figured now would be a good time to get some introductions done. Talk about any specialties we might have.

Share information that we feel comfortable sharing. This isn't to pressure anyone or to force out any dark secrets.

[Not where watchful eyes can see, at least.]

Besides, I prefer doing this to making a cute information sharing game.

So, please, make your own threads within this post to keep everything organized.

Yes, this is most common story for Guardians. Some do not need to die to be chosen, like the legendary Shin Malphur, but most are chosen from the dead. Even the Ghosts do not know why this is, they simply know when they have found "their" Guardian, as it were. Sadly we do not remember our previous lives, but at least Exos like myself and Cayde-6 remember our names.

[He doesn't mention those who became warlords and despots during the Dark Age, despite their Ghosts best intentions. Those times are long past, and they would only complicate things.]

[This ... is a lot to take in. And she can't take in the true weight of what it makes her think about "aloud", so her next reply takes some time to arrive.]

You don't remember anything about your previous lives? I don't know whether that should be happy, or sad.

It is what it is. There is no changing it or going back. All we have is what we choose to do with this new life.

I suppose that is all that anyone truly has.
