Awoken

Biographical Information
Designation	Sapient

“	The others sing this song of Light and Dark. We, together, have transcended such unimaginative limitations.

The Awoken are a bluish-gray-skinned player species in Destiny. They are descendants of Humans who, during the Collapse, tried to run to the far edges of known space to escape The Darkness.^{[citation needed]} Something mysterious and strange happened to them at the edge of Human-controlled space, which altered them forever.^{[citation needed]}

Many of the Awoken live in The Reef, but others also live on Earth. Earth-born Awoken who adventure to The Reef often go unwelcomed by Queen Mara Sov as outsiders.

Notable Awoken

In addition to being a playable species, some characters are also Awoken. An unnamed Awoken character was shown in the E3 2013 gameplay reveal trailer. The character brandished a Hand Cannon at a Warlock and spoke with a flanged voice.
