Human

"This was our world, our solar system. We were here first. And no matter what the darkness brings, we will be here at the dawn."

Humans are a species, both for players and non-player characters, in Destiny. Humans are "relatable, tough, and uncomplicated", and take a no-nonsense approach, a tough and stern outlook with a view to rebuilding civilization as quickly as possible.

History
Humans evolved on Earth, but everything changed when they discovered the Traveler on an expedition to Mars. The Traveler's arrival heralded the start of humanity's Golden Age, a period of prosperity with medical and technological advancements that allowed humans to colonize much of the solar system, triple their lifespan, and even create a sapient race of machines called the Exo. The Golden Age did not last, however, and a century after it began, an ancient enemy of the Traveler, dubbed the Darkness, nearly eradicated humanity, and all of their settlements across the Solar System were completely lost. The remaining members of humanity fled back to their native planet and were saved by the Traveler, which sacrificed itself to stop this enemy.
