first shot. [action/video]
[ action | by the bay ]
[ The Awoken hunter has already woken up, gathered her belongings and checked to see if her Ghost is with her. Out of anything she had to lose, she's fine with losing her guns, her knife if completely necessary, but not her Ghost. Her Ghost is completely vital to her continued existence, after all.
Not gonna lie, but waking up here just after they had managed to overthrow the Cabal Empire and retake their home? Yeah, that didn't sit well with her. But, maybe this world needed her help. And it wasn't like she could just turn a blind eye to a world in need of assistance.
She strolls through the streets of Genessia with her Ghost in tow, itself curiously scanning the buildings and the terrain around them. So far, Naxia didn't see anything remotely resembling this place being taken over by the Cabal, banners belonging to the different Fallen houses around, nor did she see the usual signs of Vex tech, or even things infected with the Hive's presence, or the dark puddles that were usually present with Taken activity. In fact, this place was so peaceful that it actually threw her off. She's so used to having to fight things left and right, so to not have to raise her gun or her knife to defend herself is...unsettling. ]
Are you picking up anything around here?
[ Her attention diverts to her Ghost, who shakes around in the air. That makes Naxia frown behind her helmet and she sighs, slinging her gun behind her. If there's no reason to have her weapon out, then there's no reason to carry it. ]
...Huh. Maybe I'm just... not used to this.
Mm, you're used to the City and the Tower, after all.
Yeah.
[ What she wants to understand is how she's able to feel the Light's blessing coursing through her veins like she would back home. In the cities she's explored so far, she hasn't seen the familiar sphere that normally hangs above the Last City. Although, don't get her wrong, she's very grateful to have her abilities to aid others in a moment's notice. She just finds it a little strange that she still has her abilities, but she's not about to look a gift horse in the mouth, especially after what Ghaul had done to them just a few months ago. ]
Let's keep moving.
[ Those around can see a fairly average sized female walking around with a couple of guns strapped to her, namely an auto rifle slung around her back, a hand cannon strapped to her thigh and a sniper rifle joining her auto rifle. One thing is pretty prominent, though, and that's a knife strapped securely in a holster on her side. Come run into one of the Guardians from the Last City from Earth? ]
[ video ]
[ On the video feed, there's a fair-skinned Awoken with the most striking bright blue eyes imaginable. Her skin has fairly noticeable wisps of light dancing along her skin, along with hints of pink markings near her eyes and forehead. Occasionally, her Ghost flies into the camera's view, as if inspecting the device she's using. It looks so...archaic, compared to her. ]
Why can't you use me to communicate with them like you normally do?
I...don't know. Can you link with the network yet?
No. For some reason, I'm unable to.
...Huh. Normally, you can. Wonder what kind of firewall's blocking you. Anyway--
Uh, hey there. My name's Naxia, and I'm used to being called 'Guardian' too sometimes, but I know that's gonna cause some confusion from what Weiss' hologram said since you guys have Guardians too in each city or somethin' like that. Anyway, I listened to what she said and read what the pamphlet said, so I don't have too many questions left beyond a couple.
First off, has anyone seen three people who go by the names of Commander Zavala, Ikora Rey or Cayde-6? Zavala has skin like I do, but he's bald, has striking red armor and looks like he can take a punch or three. He's, hm, how can I explain him...? He's serious, mission focused, but good-hearted and someone I trust. In fact, I trust everyone I'm about to ask about. He's the Titan Vanguard, people who normally shield us out on the field or there's another class who can fling hammers like nothing.
Ikora is a human with black skin, wears primarily purple robes and has black hair in a buzzcut and is the Warlock Vanguard. She's logical, calm, compassionate, but isn't a pushover by a long shot. What Warlocks are is that they utilize elemental spells in combat, so like... if you've seen electricity crackle from someone's fingertips, void grenades or a solar strike, that's some of their abilities.
And then, last but certainly not least there's Cayde-6. Well, beyond being the best mentor ever, he's an Exo...which are humanoid machines. So like, think robot parts, but much better than simple robot parts. He has a tattered black and red cape, wears primarily leather armor and...well, you'll know him when you see him. He's pretty loud, full of life, that sort of thing. He's my Vanguard, which we're both Hunters. Fancy, huh?
...By the way, if any of you guys see or hear any creatures talk about the Darkness, mind letting me know? Thanks. Just in case there's like, multiple instances of the Darkness existing in this world here, I'm talking about creatures who like to reside in space.

[Action]
Hello, Miss! Interesting armaments you've got. Expecting something?
[It made him wonder why Genessia picks out people with the capacity for violence so much. What does the world want?]
[Action]
Eh, after you get shot at by what hides in the dark a couple of times, you tend to carry whatever you can to protect yourself.
[ She's not sure yet if they followed after her, but she's not throwing the possibility out completely. ]
Re: [Action]
Eheh, I wouldn't blame them. One would have to be mad to be out of the shade this time of year.
[That, he figures, was the most common answer: summoned away from some very violent action necessitating, of course, equally violent responses.]
Well, thankfully we don't get many threats like that. Very peaceful, here; the worst you're likely to face is high temperature or strangers from out of the blue. Speaking of which, I'm Ted. Who are you?
no subject
[Just gonna not worry about the appearance for the moment. One thing at a time and all that.]
no subject
And... thanks. I'm hoping they'll come here, but at the same time, I know they're needed at home, too.
[ After all, the Vanguard is important to keep the Last City protected, especially after what the Red Legion had done to them. ]

[ Even with the first description, her world isn't the kindest with how many creatures are out there who want to kill a Guardian. ]
Then, we have the Hive who range from creatures who do nothing but swarm you at every opportunity they get, wizards with the most deafening screech ever, then we have acolytes and knights who like to stay at a distance and the knights like to heal themselves, so there's that. Then, there's ogres who like to blast you with their eyebeams. It's...not pretty and tends to hurt like a bitch.
[ There's a bit of a pause while her Ghost continues to scan the area she's in curiously. ]
Want me to keep going? There's three races left.

Video;
[Sorry, she's distracted.]
Sorry, I haven't heard of any of them. But what about the "Darkness"? [She assumes it has a special meaning.]
Video;
[ Her Ghost flies into the camera, its' own camera observing Futaba through the display. She's very curious as to how this device functions, wondering how to replicate it. ]
That's okay, thanks for letting me know. Basically, the Darkness is where all of the enemies of my world come from. Just like how there's the Light, it's balanced by the Darkness... and the Darkness can be terrifying as hell.
Video;
A Ghost? That's so cool! What can i-- she do? [Her nerd side is showing.]
Oh~ I see. So it's sort of like a Shadow from the Metaverse in my world... What's the Light, exactly?
Video;
And, well, a lot of things.
Think of me as her personal device to do whatever she wants, including, but not limited to, scanning areas, revealing information about them -- etc.
The Light lives in every living being back home, and some people, like me, can wield it like a weapon against the Darkness to protect those who can't protect themselves.
Video;
Ohh~ Where would you be able to get one? That's so cool! [She's assuming it's world specific, but damn it she can try.]
So.... the Light is basically abilities beyond normal human capacity then. [She would have said it was "magic", but that's not always the case.]
Video;
I can't say I've seen or heard from any of them, but it definitely makes for an interesting home world, I'm sure.
I'm sure there's some meaning behind "Darkness", but I haven't heard of anything odd about it while being here.
Video;
Hello!
It does. There's never a dull day back home, to be honest.
And yeah, there is, but I'm grateful to hear that I won't have to fight any time soon.
Video;
Action;
More importantly.... How was she not dying of heat with all of that armor on? She was glad that she opted for her wing implants because having to be in her Valkyrie suit right now would really just... suck.]
Wow, that sure is a lot of fire power that you've got there. I'm assuming your world also demands it, huh? [Making her presense known.] Did you need any assistance?
Action;
She turns to face Mercy when she's spoken to, trying to hide the fact that yes, it's quite hot with all of her armor on. But it's not like there's an area where she could just take some of it off. Not only that, but it's unsafe to. ]
Like you wouldn't believe. [ She doesn't raise a weapon against her, due to her Ghost making her aware of her presence. ] I'm trying to get my bearings here and... also trying to find a cool place to hide in for a bit. [ She's missing the coolness of traveling in space in her ship. ]
Action;
[Video]
Now - what do the rest of the Darkness look like?
