Bio: First risen by his Ghost inside a Golden Age mining facility on Deimos, Avori initially had a hard time adapting to being a Guardian. He had no memories whatsoever of his life before his Ghost has resurrected him, and refused to even communicate with his Ghost for almost a day, at first. In the end, the Ghost gained his trust by saving his life, which he did by preventing him from entering an unstable lift which moments later collapsed down into its shaft.

Before leaving facility, Avori's Ghost managed to restart a computer system and gather some information about him from its database. It turned out he was one of a couple dozen Exo who were employed at the facility due to the fact Deimos' low gravity and lack of oxygen would have no effect on the health an Exo. No other details about him could be pieced together, because much of the data had been corrupted over time, and many of the computer systems had been stripped apart by Fallen before the Cabal had driven them out. Though he believed it must be the truth, Avori still had trouble accepting it as thus, and so chose not to even think about his past before his resurrection.

After burying the other Exo remains out of respect (though Avori still insisted he'd never known them), he and his Ghost proceeded to spend several days walking to the only route off the moon, Firebase Durandal. Upon arrival, the Ghost advised him that the Firebase was not of major importance or very heavily trafficked, but just the Cabal staking a claim to the moon. However, his Ghost warned him that in his current state, Avori could not afford to enter open combat with them. So instead, Avori stole a Slug Rifle and snuck on board a Harvester bringing supplies to the base. When in the air, Avori killed the pilot and dumped the passengers into the empty void of space, then flew the ship Earth (just outside the range of the City's defensive turrets) and hiked his way to the Tower.

As a Guardian, little of significance has happened to Avori in his years of being a Guardian, though one event stands out. While on a routine patrol (a couple of months before the present day of this RP) of Venus for the Vanguard, he passed the entrance to the Vault of Glass. A Hydra sat guarding it - a rare but not particularly odd occurrence. Expecting a fight, Avori disembarked from his Sparrow and raised his weapon, but the Hydra did not fire. In fact, none of the Vex in the area fired at him, though they still seemed to be patrolling the area. Avori even fired at a Goblin, gaining no response. Instead, the door to the Vault opened, and he felt compelled to enter by some will that was not his own. Despite the protests of his Ghost, he abode the wishes of this force, and went through the

He did not go far in before he found a Rocket Launcher lying on the floor, of indiscernible origin. It seemed of human origin, though the Vex had obviously modified it, as it had their signature metal cuboids jutting out of it at places. At this point, Avori regained his free will, and tried to step over the object to get out of the Vault, but a Vex wall materialised in his way. The same happened whatever direction he tried to move in. Eventually, he stooped down, and picked up the launcher just as his Ghost decided to transmat him to his ship in order to escape the Vault. The launcher was brought through with him.

Though he did try, the same force of will that made him enter the Vault prevented him from disposing of the launcher, or reporting it to the Vanguard. Eventually, Avori met his match with a House of Winter Archon which was seemingly immune to all his weapons. With no other option, Avori used the Vex launcher on the creature. As he fired, the Vex metal pulsed with Arc electricity, and fired a projectile buzzing with energy which killed the beast in one fowl swoop. Afterwards, Avori fired the weapon again to test, and it acted simply as a normal Rocket Launcher, not augmented by the Vex modifications whatsoever. The only other time it fired the augmented projectile was when Avori fought a powerful Cabal Colossus vying for entrance to the Black Garden on Mars. Avori and his Ghost hypothesised that the Vex had foreseen his encounters with their enemies, and hence awarded him a weapon capable of killing them, which he otherwise wouldn't have been able to do. The only thing which still perplexed Avori was why the Vex had not built in some function to make it ineffective against themselves, as it seemed to damage Vex just as much as any other target.

His only other claims to fame are that he'd been friends with Cayde-6 since before Cayde had taken the Vanguard Dare. Avori had advised him against it, but Cayde took it and ended up stuck in the Huter Vanguard position. Since then, they'd grown more distant, as Cayde was always busy, but they still remained old friends.

Bio TL;DR: Avori was risen by his Ghost on Mars' moon of Deimos. He has no knowledge of his past, aside from what the Ghost could pull from the computer systems in the facility he was risen in. He stole a Cabal Harvester and came to Earth, where he became friends with Cayde. One day, while on patrol outside the Vault of Glass, he found a Rocket Launcher of dubious origin infused with Vex technology that seemed to be a gift to him. It does extra damage to major threats to the Vex that they'd predicted he would face, so that he'd eliminate their enemies for them. Despite this, it's still effective against Vex.

(I'm short of time right now, so I'll introduce him later.)
