Eh, might as well do a post on my Guardians, in case anyone's interested. Prepare for a Long Read.
Zenith-5:
(You will never see his face)
Risen at night somewhere in a desert, Zenith is a Nightstalker, and a very dangerous one at that, as his connection to the Void is incredibly strong. He doesn't talk, not because he can't but because he doesn't like to--it takes too long and feels taxing. The most you'll get out of him is a quiet grunt or, if on a mission where communication is necessary, short stinted answers that convey exactly what needs to be said.
Because of his stoic personality, he comes across as cold, calculating, uncaring, and even murderous. Despite this, he's a great teammate and will never leave a member of his fireteam behind. People are often glad they chose to trust him.
While he doesn't like socializing with people, he has a deep appreciation and love for nature. He regularly meditates deep in the Wilds and has a pet War Beast named Fenrir, who is forever loyal to him. If you ever discover him while he's meditating, which you won't because he makes it a point not to be found, you'll find him surrounded by wildlife, as animals feel protected around him.
His main weapon of choice is Quickfang, which he can split into Spectral Blades if he's not using Shadowshot. He utilizes invisibility on a constant basis to avoid being found.
His Ghost's name is Zephyr and she's the complete opposite of him. She's very talkative, outgoing and cheerful; the equivalent of a ray of sunshine, and her shell matches her personality. From a distance, she appears as a small, dazzling, diamond that sparkles brilliantly in the sun.
She and Zenith share a psionic connection and communicate through their thoughts, hence why Zenith doesn't like to physically speak. If you want to talk to him, you'll more than likely be speaking to Zephyr.
She views Zenith as her Son™ and will defend him no matter what. He is her Guardian.

Lazarus:
Lazarus was risen on the mountain underneath the Traveler's shard sometime within the last 10 years.
He's a friendly individual, but he’s shy and probably the biggest pushover you'll ever meet. He doesn't speak up for himself and will often sit on the sidelines, doing whatever his Ghost tells him to do. He's a sad and lonely puppy, but he won't reach out to anyone, both because he's afraid to and because Ire won't let him.
As a New Light, he had trouble harnessing the Light for a very long time and the stormy relationship with his Ghost, Ire, made it even harder. It wasn't until he was struck by lightning from the Traveler's shard while he was visiting his place of resurrection that he was able to successfully activate and use Arc.
Since then, he's become an amazing Arcstrider, Gunslinger, and Revenant. He's also excellent with a Skimmer; he was a snowboarder in his previous life and that skill followed him into his Guardian life.
Ire is as bossy as they come and he's one of the very few Ghosts who don't like their Guardian. In fact, Ire hates Lazarus because he isn't anything like Ire hoped he'd be. He wanted a strong Guardian that could handle whatever was thrown at them, not...whatever this sopping wet pup of a human is.
He has contemplated leaving Lazarus altogether to search for someone new because Traveler help him, he cannot believe a Guardian would be as scared of death as this brat is.
Because of his disdain, Ire pushes Lazarus to train hard all day every day, sometimes to the point that he faints from exhaustion, all in the hopes that he can turn into something great. But, Ire is so blinded by his own anger that he doesn't even realize that Lazarus is already an incredible Guardian. (Feel free to smack the shit out of him if you want, Traveler knows I fuckin' would.)

Derecho-2:
[image coming soon]
If there were a person that could personify the word "himbo," Derecho is it.
He was risen in one of Clovis Bray's labs on Europa during the battle of Twilight Gap and he made his way to Earth to help after his Ghost urged him on. Despite being a newly risen Guardian, Derecho harnessed his Solar Light and joined in the fray.
He's a Sunbreaker Titan Exo and an excellent strategist. Some people always seem taken aback by his intelligence because they associate Titans with stupidity, but he’ll forgive them for it.
Alongside that, he just so happens to be the biggest flirt among the Crucible jocks. He's not above promiscuity and loves to have fun with everyone. But, even though he sleeps around a lot, he genuinely likes and cares for all of his partners--they're not objects to him. If they want to be exclusive with him, all they have to do is say the word and he’s theirs.
You'll know he's definitely interested in you if he starts calling you cutesy names in Spanish. And he’ll straight up tell you.
Besides being flirty, Derecho is also a very warm and caring person, willing to help you with anything at all. If you need a place to stay, you can have his bed--or share it, if that's what you'd prefer~
Out in the field, this Titan is a fiery force to be reckoned with. While his name points to him being an Arc user, he calls himself a Solar Storm. He loves creating fire tornados and throwing his huge hammer around. He’s a helpful teammate and will get you out of any situation.
Derecho's warmth is complimented by his Ghost, Cielo's, cooler personality.
Cielo is a little more of an introvert and prefers to stay in his Guardian's apartment watching crime dramas, cartoons, or talk shows. Whenever he does venture out with Derecho, he tends to just...not speak unless spoken to.

Apache(his name could change at some point):
[image coming soon]
Apache is a quiet Awoken Shadebinder Warlock that was risen somewhere in the Reef. After making his way to Earth, he discovered that he enjoyed running the Crucible and settled in with Derecho’s crew of Crucible jocks. He ended up dating a Titan named Chinook, but the two didn’t last very long and decided to stay friends.
When he’s not in the Crucible, Apache is out in the City enjoying a cup of tea and reading ancient poetry or plays from the Golden Age.
As mentioned, he’s quiet but not silent. While he prefers to be given orders, he’s not below giving them if the situation calls for it. Afterall, even Derecho needs help reeling in Chinook every now and again. He’s very much a “do no harm but take no shit” kind of person.
As a Shadebinder, he takes control of a battlefield fairly easily and even utilizes Stasis in his every day life; children love it when he creates an ice rink for them to skate on, but his enemies hate it when their entire world is consumed by negentropic ice.
His Ghost, Autumn, is a soft little thing who prefers the arts. She even tries to paint and draw with a brush she had Apache modify so it magnetizes to her shell. She knows she's not the best, but she tries and really enjoys the process of creating.
Autumn gets along with most everyone…except for Bullet Storm, Chinook’s Ghost.

Chinook:
[image coming soon]
The most boisterous, loudmouth, snarky and crybaby Berserker Titan to ever come into existence.
If you think you’re better than him, no you’re not. If you think you’ve won against him, no you haven’t. If you’re a Hunter, he already heavily dislikes you; he thinks Hunters are pretentious little pricks that deserve to get their asses handed to them whenever possible. Warlocks are on that list, too, but not nearly as high as Hunters.
Chinook is very short-fused, impatient, hardheaded, and not really open to mindset changes, as he thrives on anger which is true only to his subclass name. If he loses in any situation, he will bitch and moan about it for hours, possibly days, if he isn’t distracted.
He only has three friends—Derecho, Apache, and his Ghost—and even they have a hard time getting along with him sometimes. Well, except for his Ghost.
As a Strand user, he thoroughly enjoys unraveling the very existence of his enemies and that joy can extend to other Guardians. He uses his arm blades to slice and dice his way to victory, uncaring about who he has to mow down to achieve it. No matter who you are, he will gloat and showboat in front of you—and yes, that includes The Witness. He called it a “fake-ass vape bitch” to it’s face.
His Ghost, Bullet Storm, is no better. The two are one and the same and Bullet Storm encourages his Guardian to go all out, cheering for him even when Chinook is clearly losing, which happens more often than either of them will ever admit.
While Bullet Storm is less angry than Chinook, he’s still just as snarky and hardheaded. You’ll catch them doing fistbumps after every little thing.
Bullet Storm has a giant middle finger as his projection, so it’s very easy to spot him.
