♡ + aLSO opinion on Vanguards but esp Zavala
Headcanon Meme: The Vanguard
Cayde-6. If you had to define the epitome of skill without focus, the word in the dictionary would falll under the header ‘Cayde-6′. In the field the exo is a hunter without peer. As a member of the Vanguard, he leaves a lot to be desired. All the witty jokes and one-liners can’t hide the lack leadership he has displayed since assuming the mantle. Luck alone seems to have kept him one step thus far, but it is only a matter of time before that runs out and the bill comes due. Make no mistake, however. It’ll be the people around him that end up paying for it. Ikora Rey. You would be a fool not to respect her. Osiris choose well when he selected his disciples. She has the same fiery passion and boundless curiosity that drove him to greatness. It is for that very same reason it has always been difficult to trust her unconditionally. She may be the spymaster for the Vanguard, but one has to wonder how many of those secrets belong to her and her former mentor. And how many will lead her down the same dark path.
Zavala. Even after all these years the Awoken’s name still leaves a bitter taste. Like all of the Vanguard, his skill in batlte is beyond reproach. It was his misplaced self-righteousness that created the lasting rift that lingers between the remnants of the Sunbreakers and the Last City, however. His voice the spurring force that condemned the order to be all but driven off the planet and into self-exile. Respect can be given to the Titan, but the man still has a ways to go before the scales are balanced.
