Destiny Jump

This is a place of a dead golden age. Of a time that has passed and left its children to search the ruins for a long lost glory. Where they huddle behind their wall, under their guardian, waiting for the day to come when they can reclaim their destiny.

The world of Destiny is an expansive one. Long ago, Humanity discovered The Traveler, an ancient and benevolent being that shared many fantastic works of science with humanity. Under The Traveler’s gaze, humanity spread to control the entire solar system. Then, something called the “Darkness” came along and hit humanity so hard that within a few weeks, there was only one inhabited city left on Earth. That last city, known as “The City”, was protected by The Traveler. The Traveler sacrifice itself to ensure the last city, and with it’s dying breath sent out Ghosts. AI who went searching for Guardians. Guardians are gifted individuals who can wield a fraction of The Traveller’s powers. These Guardians are necessary because the ruins of humanity are now occupied by the forces that the darkness used to overthrow humanity.

This Universe it expansive in both it’s mysteries and dangers, Maybe with these you can overcome both.

Origin

Drop in-(Free)-  You enter the world at your starting location with your stuff nearby. You have no memories of living in this world, but no ties holding you back either.

Guardian-(100)- Guardians are chosen by The Traveller and it’s progeny, The Ghosts. These brave soldiers are sent to the frontier to defend humanity and retake what has been lost over a century ago to The Darkness. There are three different types of Guardians. Choose one class.

Hunter- “ Hunters once prowled the wilderness and wastelands, taking big risks for even bigger rewards. You're no outlaw—at least, not anymore—but making your own luck has always meant bending the rules. Your unique brand of daring and ingenuity is needed now more than ever”
  Hunters were once survivors that roamed the wastelands and wilderness making their own luck. Through manipulation of The Traveler's energies, Hunters learned how to survive in the wild.This heritage has led to their characteristic tendency of bending the rules to suit their particular situation. Being the trailblazers amongst Guardian classes, Hunters serve as invaluable scouts when surveying hostile and dangerous territory combining their trademark daring and ingenuity.
  Some fear them as being too dangerous, but their bravery has led to many discoveries dating back to the Golden Age.

Warlock- “ Warlocks have long studied the Traveler, mastering some of its arcane energies. Its true purpose still remains a great mystery, but discovering truth has always driven you into the unknown. Now, our enemies are the only thing that stands between you and the lost wonders of our Golden Age.”
  Due to your intensive research into The Traveler, you have learned how to use some of it’s basic power to survive in this dangerous world. Much of the research into Golden Age technology has allowed for Warlocks to reach truly staggering heights of power. If you look into ruins, who knows what you will find?


Titan- “The first Titans built the Wall, and gave their lives to defend it. Now, you stand in the same high place, steadfast and sure, protecting all who shelter in your shadow. You hail from a long line of heroes, forged from strength and sacrifice. Our enemies may be deadly and merciless, but so are you.”
  You are a hardened soldier, you push through walls of enemies, blasting away any that stand in your way. Heavily trained in both hand to hand and weaponized combat, you excel at two things. Being an imposing view on the battlefield, and hearing the last breath leaving your enemies mouths.






Race

Human-(Free)- The original inhabitants of Earth, and the race that created both the Exos and Awoken.

Awoken-(Free)- After the Collapse, Humans tried to escape the solar system and outrun The Darkness. Just on the rim of the solar system something happened that caused humans to change into Awoken. Awoken are fair, blueish-grey skinned people with many different features including shocking white hair and exotic eyes of varying colors. Otherwise, extremely similar to humans

Exo-(Free)- The Exo where once used for war in human conflict during the Golden Age to fight other’s battles. They were constructed in the image of a person with both a distinct mind and personality. During the Collapse, the factories that made Exos were destroyed or lost. This made it even harder to fight The Darkness with so few soldiers. The only difference between Humans and Exos is that Exos do not require many things humans require. Exos are so rare because they can only be brought back to “life” by Ghosts due to the extremely complex technology that they are made of.


Perks

If you are a Warlock, you can wield both solar and void energies as lethal weapons, If you are a Hunter, high impact attacks from the air and earth shattering waves of energy can emanate from you. These are only a very few examples of the vast array of powers that can be wielded by the Guardians. If you are a drop in, you have access to all these powers, though, it takes more training for drop ins to increase strength.

Drawbacks Pick all you want, I don’t care.

(100)-Zubat syndrome- Enemies seem to be everywhere. And they aren’t even that tough. There are just so many underlings that it makes it difficult to clear an area without stepping into one. Quite literally.

(100)- Story times over- If you cared at all about the deep story, the tales of yore that permeate the universe and the in depth discussions you could have about the world’s history, do not take this. No one will tell you anything. They all just assume you know everything. All the interesting flavor of this world is basically taken away.

(200)- Give me a moment- You will have to protect some object or person of vague importance wherever they go. If they are killed, you lose the jump.

(200)- Patrollin’, tryin to catch me ridin’ dirty…- The forces of Darkness become much more numerous, and bold. They will often probe humanities defenses, sometimes even attempt invasions on the city. When you leave the safety of The Wall, enemy patrol’s just seem to find you with alarming frequency.

(300)- Is it dark in here?- you’ve gone blind, but not only that, you hear voices too. They seem to beckon when you are alone, asking you to hunt down humanity and extinguish The Traveler’s light from existence.

(300)-It came from the MOON- Things will often fall from the moon. sometimes old pieces of technology, sometimes buckets, other times actual Hive will land in drop pods and begin to burrow into the Earth. It always seems to happen near you. Watch your head.

(400)- Non Grata- You owe a very specific queen a favor or two. She will send you out at random to do missions on her behalf. They will be dangerous, and you will never be thanked for it.

(400)- Failure to launch- You can never leave your starting location for your first four years. Better dress appropriately.

(500)- Pirates life for me!- Apparently, you’ve pissed off the Fallen. You pissed them off so badly, they have united into one giant force to stomp you out of existence. Expect to be pursued relentlessly by the Fallen. They will come. And there will be blood.

(500)- Are you kidding me!?- You never get any sweet loot. The best you can get is probably a rock. This does not affect prior possessions of yours.

(600)-Consumed by darkness- Generally, Guardians will resurrect. Either through the intercession of a fellow Guardian, or over time. But now, they stay dead. Their number will greatly diminish over time if they do not create new tactics. If the Guardians are eradicated, or their are not enough Guardians to defend The City, The Darkness will muster all of it’s forces into a unified front to take down The City. If the last city and/or its inhabitants are destroyed, you fail the jump and are sent home.

(600)- A living god- The god-king of the Hive, Crota, son of Oryx, is being called to the Moon. If the calling ritual is not stopped, he will arrive. When he arrives, the Hives forces will swell, they will destroy the Moon and overrun the Earth. There is time to make it to him. The ritual takes place at the center of the Moon.


(800 incompatible with all others)- Golden Age- You will be sent back in time, a few days before the beginning of the Darknesses arrival. You must stop The Fall from happening and make sure that humanity is not driven back to Earth. You must Push the Darkness out forever. All the forces of The Darkness are united, and have much larger numbers than before. But you have all of the might of HOLY TERRA- I mean humanity behind you. You have access to all of your prior abilities and your Warehouse. You’ll need it.

Ending

Go Home- You may choose to go home. If chosen, You take your stuff, your powers and any friends you’ve made and skedaddle.

The Golden Age awaits- You know what, who’s to say a world full of tragic past and alien terror is a bad place. You choose to stay with all your stuff, powers and friends. Time resumes it’s normal flow at home and you are assumed missing.

Claim your Destiny.- Like everyones path, yours is forward. Onto your next adventure.

Super-duper secret ending

If you chose the Golden Age drawback and survive to push The Darkness out or destroy it all together, The Traveler will bestow upon you a Data Crystal that holds all the knowledge of humanity. Warp drives, weapon construction, even how to build the Exos and so much more. It will take a truly large amount of time to sort through it by yourself. You also gain the ability to converse with The Traveler through your Ghost, should you have one and ever choose to come back one day.
