Character aesthetics such as face, sex, markings, etc. can be preserved and carried over for old players from ''Destiny 1'', as long as those characters have both reached Level 20 and have completed [[The Black Garden]] [[Story]] mission.

===New Cinematic Campaign===
Destiny 2 features an all-new cinematic campaign with a host of new [[Story]] missions and cutscenes that form a story unlike that seen in its predecessor. The first mission, [[Homecoming]], sends Guardians on a journey to take back [[The Last City]] and the [[Traveler]] from the [[Red Legion]], led by [[Dominus Ghaul]], who has a brief cameo in the first mission, explaining his intentions.
