It is said the Awoken were born in the [[Collapse]], descended from those humans who tried to flee its wrath.

Today many Awoken live in [[the Reef]], aloof and mysterious, but others returned to [[Earth]], where their descendants now fight for the [[City]].

In ''Forsaken'', it is revealed the Awoken are the descendants of the crew and passengers of the [[Yang Liwei]], codenamed Exodus Green, a generation ship that left Earth shortly before the Collapse in an attempt to find a way to live without the Traveler. The ship refused to take a side when the [[Darkness]] attacked the Traveler<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Marasenna#Cosmogyre I|Cosmogyre I]]''</ref>. During the initial sparring between the two acausal entities, the ship was at the centerpiece of a kugelblitz, a black hole-like anomaly in space time that sucked it and all its inhabitants into a newborn pocket universe<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Marasenna#Cosmogyre IV|Cosmogyre IV]]''</ref>. The Yang Liwei's 891 crewmembers and 40,000 passengers were annihilated and lost their physical forms, becoming beings of pure potential. [[Mara Sov]], a low-ranking crewmember, was the first person to enter the kugelblitz just before the ship. She reassembled her own disembodied conscience, manipulated the Distributary's physical laws to shape it into an earthly paradise of a planet and created a new body for herself<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Marasenna#Ecstasiate II|Ecstasiate II]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Marasenna#Nigh II|Nigh II]]''</ref>. Together with the ship's captain [[Alis Li]], who awakened the same way, Mara Sov induced other disembodied humans from the Yang Liwei to awaken as well and reincarnate into new blue-skinned, star-eyed bodies, having only vague memories about their past.
