Desperately need to know more about that Taken King titan of yours.............
I did have a master post about my Destiny OC's but it looks like Tumblr's eaten it 😭
His name is Blake Pendragon. He's an awoken titan. He has a sister named Ophelia Pendragon. She's my warlock.
Blake is soft spoken and doesn't use his Light very often. He was revived a few years before the D1 campaign takes place. He studied under the Speaker. He became fascinated by his work and everything about it. He was his apprentice. He went to events and preached about the typical BS of "the Light finds a way" "May the Light, guide you" "Stay in the Light" etc. after the Speaker was killed, he took over. He received a vision in his sleep. One of twisting shapes, darkness, plague and pain. He excitedly told the Vanguard who were wary but listened and quickly began trying to decipher it.
The citizens and Tower workers, (even some guardians) didn't like that he took over and stepped up so quickly. They didn't see him as admirable, noble or even useful. They thought him a fraud. He would commonly be harassed.
When the Vanguard couldn't decipher his vision, he left to try and find what it was on his own. If he could discover the reason, he'd be able to prove himself, right? Everyone would accept him.
He went to the EDZ in search for answers. Asked Devrim for his input (They're friends and commonly have tea together) He suggested it was something to do with the Taken. They'd been acting weirdly across the board based on reports. Actively hunting down guardians and seemingly searching for something. So Blake took up the study of them. Studied the Taken relentlessly. He went to Eris and spoke with Petra to get information but none of it was good enough so he went out on his own. He had to find out what everything meant. He had to prove himself. He refused communication with his sister which was out of character. He became obsessed.
He went to the Dreadnaught where he was overrun. The Taken were different. Calculated and erratic. Though he was a light bearer, yes but he had little experience in the field. He was in over his head by far. As he desperately fled deeper and deeper into the ship, he could hear whispers at the edges of his mind, telling him to stop, the Light is a plague, corruption. He could do so much better. He will be fine if he just stops. He will be accepted. He can command armies upon armies and show the Vanguard and the last city that he was right. He tried calling for backup but his Ghost was killed. Surrounded, Blake stood before the armies of Taken. They didn't move any closer. Simply staring at him. The voices swirled in his mind, lulling him, spinning their web of lies.
Humanity didn't deserve him.
He could do so much better if he just listened.
He could have all the power he ever wanted.
It wouldn't be like Uldren, he would be in control.
He was alone. No ghost, no Speaker to guide him. No sister to protect him.
He wouldn't need protection. He wouldn't need guidance. He wouldn't need the Light.
He gave in.
Sorry if this is written poorly, it is 7 minutes before my shift 😩
