Awoken

The Awoken are a player species in Destiny. The Awoken have been described by Bungie as "exotic, beautiful, and mysterious." Awoken are less physically intimidating than Exo, but wiser, craftier, and more ethereal.

Design and Inspiration
In terms of player design, Bungie drew its inspiration for the Awoken from such mythological creatures as elves, vampires, ghosts, and angels.
