#siva subclass

[pekinaso]

Looks like these are the last of my Destiny art that I have, they were drawn a good while ago. Definitely 2020 if not 2019. They were just early concepts but regardless even today they still apply to Nova, Azazel, and Adam-17.

Warlock: Initially called Duskblade (now Willstealer), this Darkness subclass commands the power of the Taken. The Super acts like a dark version of Daybreak, with the ability to fire out slashes from the sword, but also allows the ability to fire Axion Bolts from the free hand an even slam into the ground to deal heavy damage.

Hunter: Initially called Venomstrafer (now Venomstalker, or Wraith), this Darkness subclass harnesses the power of Hive soulfire and its toxic effects. The Super involves wielding corrosive blades that can be thrown and will boomerang back to you, or can be used to slash away at combatants, spreading noxious poison through the enemy.

Titan: Lazily initially called SIVA (now more appropriately renamed to Replicator), this Darkness subclass combines the power of SIVA with Guardians' paracausality. The Super involves wielding a nanite-forged battle axe, which can then be used to spread more nanites across the field to aid you in battle.

I have since refined the 3 subclasses (and even added 2 more SIVA-based subclasses for the Warlock & Hunter, + a Nightmare subclass for Titan), but I'll show those off whenever I get around to them :)

Playing through the intro of Rise of Iron again, and it gave me a great idea for getting a SIVA subclass and how it’d create conflict. I’ll put it under a RM so it doesn’t bog down the tag

So you go on a mission for Saladin into where SIVA is densest outside of the control room. You travel deeper and deeper in until you are locked into a room with a special SIVA sample. Your options are a) try to fight off the absolute shitload of Splicers waiting with what you’ve got on you or b) use the SIVA sample and cut through them with whatever SIVA gives you. The conflict is between Saladin and Shiro, as well as with your Ghost. The Ghost and Saladin are very much against it, as it very well might consume you. Shiro on the other hand is on the other side of it, believing that the only way you can get out in one piece is by using it and hoping for the best.

Saladin: Don’t do it Guardian! SIVA will consume you, destroy you like it destroyed the Iron Lords! I believe in you! I have your back! You can get out of this alive!

Ghost: ......Agreed.

Shiro: Saladin...let’s be realistic. That force will destroy the Guardian even with all the guns and Light in the world. The Guardian is strong, they can withstand whatever gets thrown at them. It’ll also be interesting to see what happens.

Then you have the decision: Fight through the massive force of Splicers, or use the SIVA sample and see what happens.
