Guardians

From left to right, a Hunter, a Titan, and a Warlock Guardian.

The Guardians are the player characters of Destiny. They are a standing army of specialized soldiers tasked with the defense of the last city on Earth.[1] They are also responsible for exploring the remnants of human society abandoned throughout the solar system and investigating the remains of their Golden Age of exploration.[1] Guardians wage a vicious armed conflict against a myriad of extraterrestrial species who pose an immediate threat to the survival of humanity.[1] The greatest source of the Guardian's power lies in their ability to harness the energy of The Traveler and use it as a weapon against their opponents.[1]

When creating their character, players may choose to make their Guardian one of three species:[1][2][3]

Species is a purely cosmetic choice for players, affecting only appearance and not gameplay.[2][3] Player specialization and progression, including available subclasses, abilities, weapons, and armor, are dependent on the player's choice of one of three player classes:

Any species may choose to be any player class.[2][3]

Guardians also have access to a Ghost, a small flying bot with artificial intelligence that can assist the Guardian in tactical situations.[2][3]

Warning! The following information is conjecture and is not official or dependable.

Guardians are speculated to align themselves with Factions, though the nature and mechanics of how factions figure into gameplay are not yet known.

Article conjecture ends here.

Trivia

  • Guardians were originally called "Knights" in early leaked materials. The reason for the name change is unknown, though it is noteworthy that the term "knight" now refers to a class of Hive.[citation needed]
