UserWiki:Dante the Ghost

Greetings! My name is Dante. I am a Ghost but with no Guardian. Why does that surprise you? Well, as you very well know, Guardians, citizens, we Ghosts spend years searching the solar system for warriors worthy to wield the Light to defend humanity and the Traveler from the Darkness. Some of us never find our Guardians; a few decide to choose Guardians from the living rather than the dead. I am neither one.

No, I am alone. But to fill the lonely days I have taken to helping the Vanguard with organizing their archives, utilizing my memory storage to clear away clutter and/or update outdated information. Many such Ghosts who don't find a Guardian often lend their aid to the Vanguard. Did I ever tell you Cayde is as disorganized as a Reaver Dreg? His library is a mess! knives and melting engrams everywhere! Master Rahool was so very disappointed in him when I brought this in the open. So was Ikora. Well, she too is disorganized, but that is another story. Needless to say Cayde has never forgiven me since.

Anyhow, my ramblings aside, I am here to serve the City in whatever capacity I can. One day, I'll find my Guardian, but until then I better make myself useful. I just hope to the Traveler I never have to go to Mars… {|align=left |

Description
I'll spare you what others have said about Ghosts and tell you straight up. We have a uniform design and shape, as we're born of the Traveler itself, but several of us can be of any size from ping pong ball to baseball-size. I don't know of any Ghosts that are Servitor sized, but should we happen to get a Eliskni (ahem, "Fallen") Guardian—ha! imagine that!—that will unfortunately remain in obscurity.

My basic form is a "baseball" in shape, but a little smaller, but don't get any ideas. I may delight in describing myself in such lowly terms but I will not be used in games. Now, what was I saying… oh yes. Like all other Ghosts I have a shell, except mine is what is called a "Mythological shell". This is courtesy of a Guardian who braved the Vault of Glass and managed to get the Gorgons' designs locked into his head. I know of quite a few Ghosts who look like mini-Gorgons. Nearly gave Master Rahool a heart-attack one night, but that is another story for another time.

Now, basic description is as follows:


 * Shell-color: Vex Templar colors, obviously.
 * Shell-material: My original shell was composed of the Traveler; the Vanguard still has it when I chose this one. My Mythological shell is made up of a mixture of Vex metals and Relic iron. Fancy, no?
 * Shell-pieces: Again, the original had eight pyramidal sections. My new one has three very large, irregularly shaped Harpy "wings".
 * Guardian: Don't have one, yet.
 * Where to be found?: Vanguard Archives, of course. Level A.R. 24/6, sublevel 078. That is roughly halfway down the Tower, and in the East Wing. Warlocks make for great company I'll add.
 * Favorite places?: Earth. Such a fascinating and ancient place. Once full of culture, beauty, and art, now desolate. I can see why the Traveler chose it. So much potential, now dormant. Oh, and I suppose Venus. Lovely place, the Ishtar Collective is very facinating, all of those files and books full of knowledge. Just watch out for Vex, Fallen, and Taken. I hear the Cabal are planning on going there…
 * Favorite Tower resident?: Why, it is Master Rahool, of course! I just love being next to him whenever a Guardian comes back with an Engram. Treasure troves of knowledge and history and technology! So much lore to be found! (Although… rumours have been going around that I've chosen him as a Guardian, but I assure you I have done no such thing. Please don't spread them.)
 * Least favorite Tower resident?: Don't go spreading this around, but… I think Eris Morn's crazy…
 * Favorite alien race: I know, I know, you're thinking, "What, a Ghost who has a favorite race among our enemies?" but seriously, a Ghost with no Guardian must have some things he likes outside of the Tower, no? Anywho, I actually have two of them. The Vex and the Cabal. The Vex… well, they are the least known enemy of ours, apart from being a demigod collective of hyperadvanced, microbial robotic aliens. The Cabal are easy. *deep monotone* "We like to stomp things flat, umph, umph!" *normal* No, seriously, their organization and, I hate to admit this but, their perseverance. Centuries of warfare with the Vex and Guardians is a long time to be fighting a war, but still they hang on.
 * Least favorite alien race: The Hive. No question. Many of my brothers and sisters fell to their blades, were drained on their Light. Murdered. I hate Crota and his overblown papa as much as Crazy Eris… Ooooh, if I had a Guardian right now I'd show them! I even have Solar-dealing cannons equipped! (Though… those take a lot out of me, but I digress.)

Well, I suppose that's it then. Got to go.

Destinypedia Article Progress
This is a reference list for when I have pages to work on.

I'll be focusing on the Story Missions from Vanilia Destiny to better meet this wikia's standards. We are not only an archive for Weapons, Enemy Races, Allies, what-have-you, but also a record of Destiny's, admittedly, lacking story. Grimoire cards that are unlocked with each Story Mission shall be cross-referenced where possible. Destinypedia will not have a reputation for lacking "story" content like her namesake.

Any and all are welcome to add to my work. I can use all of the help I can get, and the more eyes the better.

Grimoire Musings
Here is where I'll post my musings on the Grimoire cards that is embedded in Destiny's lore. I'll be linking to the Ishtar Collective as well as Bunge and this very wikia to better cross-reference, and to help you understand where I am coming from. They'll be organized by subject and interrelatedness.

Do note that, as much as I'd like to spend working on this, developing theories that may or may not be true (I'd like to consider all possible alternatives), I also spend equal amounts of time editing Destinypedia, helping everyone know more about our favorite game. Plus, I'm actually not that great at keeping timetables, or organizing my priorities right.
