morbidly fascinating barant corpses hooked up to various machines on europa. haven't seen any talk or screenies of these poor dudes, thought i'd offer up a few i took. i think the torso difference between the first and second pics are neat, like the first one has more defined muscle or just less fat compared to the other?
[Folds hands together] So. The Uluran lactate, yes? Specifically, the males do. From what we've seen in canon, it appears that they have seperately evolved a mammilian-esque mode of producing milk, which means that the likelyhood of them having a culture around dairy cultivation is high. Cabal cheese is very likely a thing.
This also means that is entirely possible that one can make cheese out of Uluran milk. And, given Calus's track record with the...everything, I think that it was entirely possible that he did, indeed, make cheese out of his own milk for the purpose of 'spreading his joyeous adoration' to his followers
Did you start the movement to rename Cabal to Uluran, or was that another blogger? I'm doing a post on antisemitism in d2 fandom and am trying to find a source on this
I think so? I know there were people talking about this way before me (including all that stuff that happened during Chosen when they had to rename stuff), but I think this post I made was circulated the most. I've not used "Cabal" since. A lot of people have taken to doing the same after that.
I'm not sure if anyone suggested exactly "Uluran" before, but if they did everyone had the same source at the time; it was mentioned only once in The Forsaken Prince where they named their language "ulurant." It's been mentioned a few times since, including with the variant of "uluranth." Lightfall's CE (page 14) also had a character named "Ulurunth;" I'm not familiar with the reference here, but those who understand figured out that this name is esentially meant to be an equivalent of "mankind." So we're somewhere close to figuring out what they're called in their own language, rather than "Cabal." Would be nice to get a proper official name, like for the Eliksni.
If there's been anything about this before, let us know.
Back when I started playing D2 in 2018, I wasn't aware of being allowed to take what the franchise had to offer and create my own OCs. In 2020 started a series of inferiority complexes because I didn't feel myself to be as creative and skilled as the rest of the community. In 2025, I can't even pinpoint the exact when all these people came into existence. And not one of them possesses a proper character sheet, sweet.

And now, a few clarifications:
the Author! counterparts of Destiny characters (aside from the few mentioned) appearing in the Saga have been excluded because considered as their own category (and because of general spoilers)
Taox, the Osmium King, Rhulk, Umun'arath and Andal Brask are to be included in the re-design section, their changes are just not significant enough for their mention to be worth it
the Nezarec listed as a Tormentor OC is not c!Nezarec
on the other hand, Darien is, for a fact, c!Nezarec
Pyramis!Calus's real name is Glaucus, he just adopted the name Calus from the previous empress's son after being taken in by her
all children are canonical in various AUs (with Jack being up to debate still while Niveus is stillborn in the Pyramis Family AU)
no, Joseph is not dead and a kid Guardian, he just has a Ghost on the lookout for him
Guardian!Calus belongs to his own AU while Guardian!Nefarious consists in dr. Nefarious from the game Ratchet and Clank while under the Destiny Contract
Sylvia (aka: Sylvia van Geest) is my official Guardian-sona and a completely separated entity from the Author
I can't wait for someone at Bungie to finally go "Hey isn't calling the Cabal what we call them like, antisemetic, especially with Calus' stuff and shit," and they finally decide to give them a real name like Fallen/Eliskni. So we get an entire expansion set up about them and helping restore Torobatl and shit and there's a point where Caiatl is about to refer to their species as the actual name rather than Cabal and every single person who's a huge fan of these funny space rhinos are gonna get so excited...
...and then they're gonna reveal the official name is literally anything other than "Uluran", much to the dismay of fans and their years worth of tags and content created using that as the species true name.
