Welcome Dr. Shim. Please enter your security clearance code.

In the metatextual sense, we have full access to lore tabs and books to inform us of what's happening. Does our guardian somehow know this information as well or do they get a new weapon and think "cool! It has that new gun smell". Are they working with the same base knowledge as us or do they only have a general understanding of what's going on and are just riding the wave?

In The Final Shape we learn from Cayde that right before he was pulled by Riven's wish, he'd been experiencing a peaceful afterlife within the Traveller. He revealed that after a guardian's final death, the Ghost and the Guardian return to the Traveller, so all the killed guardians are there ...

That would ALSO include all the lucent Hive ghosts and Lucent Hive, no?

If we actually killed Immaru and Savathun, theyd be in the same afterlife where Targe, Cayde and (maybe) Our timeline's Saint is.

Would that be correct?

Reason for the post is that Robert Brookes posted on Twitter a pitch he never got to pitch for a story with Amanda getting resurrected by ghost manipulated by Savathun to believe he is a hive ghost, but actually isn't. Amanda wears hive armor to make her ghost feel more confortable and acts as an antagonist for us for the beginning.

I don't dislike the idea, but it made me ask: What would I have done with Amanda becomeing a lightbearer?

I think I would have made her a Totality Devision (Rao) loyalist who is not manipulated by her and has a real friendship with psions after they found her and helped her on her feet. She doesn't like the Vanguard and the Coalition for not careing for the psions and only watching as her new family gets abused by Cabal and even other Psions, like Yirix. With time she starts to realise that she has some kind of connection with the people of the Last City. After she gets her memorys back she is in conflict with her mixed feelings about the Vanguard, because of her past and her new psion family.

I would make her part of a syndicate like Crow, but unlike him she is it willingly. And I use the psions, because we have no character that acts as a bridge to the psions and their story. We know of different pieces for the psion plot going on, but noone who really connects us with that storyline and a resurrected Amanda who cares deeply for the psions for what they did for her and acts as Raos secret agent could act as the bridging point.

I also would make her dislike the Vanguard to contrast her more with Crow. Crow was hated from everything for his past, but he always wanted to reach out to everyone. Amanda, on the other hand, was loved from everyone in her past. So instead of everyone rejecting her and she wanting to reach out, everyone wants to reach out to her, but she wants to reject them.

I would also make her a Solar-Titan. I think that fits with her the best. And I think I would call her character Hawk or Falcon.

What would you do with her as a lightbearer? (Sorry, if that doesn't fit this sub.)
