Aksel (Destiney 2 OC)

Appearance: Aksel is a Ghost, a type of floating machine entity slightly larger than a human hand. His grame consists of a spherical core with a single glowing "eye", which is surrounded by a "shell" of several pieces that can separate and rotate freely around the central sphere. His shell consists of eight roughly tetrahedral segments colored red with orange tips, and a mirrored white stripe on his top and bottom front prongs. Every Ghost has a unique personality and identity, though not necessarily a name. This personality may be intended to complement that of the Chosen they're meant to eventually revive, and often they have a name coined by their Chosen, whilst others may take names they are given by others. Personality: When a Ghost revives their Chosen, they are bonded together from that point forward. A "neural symbiosis" begins between them. For some, their Chosen is a sort of "soulmate" and they know instinctively when the right remains have been found.

Aksel is a very timid yet loving Ghost. Often being insecure and quick to people please, he bonds very quickly to people and often mistakes platonic love and genuine romantic/sexual attraction. He can easily become clingy bordering on overbearing at times, but his shy nature causes him to be more subtle and subdued. His voice has a notable synthetic tone to it with an oddly Danish accent under it as well. And like other Ghosts, he can be used as a speaker should his Guardian need it.

Being a Ghost, Aksel is naturally attuned to the “Light” of the Traveler, thus being more comfortable when his Guardian channels the powers of “Light”, these being the elemental “subclasses” of, “Arch” electrical energy, “Solar” fire and light, and “Void” mass and gravity. But like many other Ghosts, he is aware that some Guardians utilize the “Darkness” and its “subclasses” of, “Stasis” ice and stillness, and “Strand”, manipulation of the “weave” a type of psychic energy that acts as the “threads” of the universe.

Background: Long ago, the Traveler, a primordial and benevolent force of unknown origin, arrived in the Sol system, it uplifted humanity and propelled it into a “Golden Age”. But it was short lived, as the Traveler’s ancient enemy, “The Witness” arrived soon after, its “Black Fleet” attracted without mercy, causing a downfall of humanity dubbed “The Collapse”. During the collapse, the Traveler Traveler stood and fought, but was unfortunately only able to save Earth itself. A “Dark Age” soon followed as the Traveler, damaged and broken, in its “dying” breath broke off pieces of itself, creating the Ghosts. And sending them forth to create “Light bearers” to protect humanity. Unfortunately, humanity was selfish and greedy with this new found power, and an era of warlords soon commenced. But through perseverance, light bearers with integrity beat back the tyrants, and built the Last City in the Traveler’s shadow, and thus, the Vanguard was born operating out of a base in the Last City dubbed “The Tower”. collection of Guardians led by the three of the bravest and famous Guardians of each subclass of Guardian in defense of the Last City. Commander Zavala of the Titans, Ikora Rey of the Warlocks, and formerly Cayde-6 of the Hunters, but after his death, The Crow now has taken the mantle.

After many hardships, such as the “Red War” in which the Last City was lost and Guardians lost their Light, to when Guardians learned Darkness isn't evil, but a tool, the ultimate confrontation happened, the Witness and its Black Fleet returned, seeking to calcify all reality in its sick “Final Shape”, all culminating in a legendary yet unnamed Guardian simply dubbed “The Guardian” slayed the Witness in the Traveler itself.

Now in an uncertain era, Ghosts and Guardians work to ensure their alliances hold and the future of Humanity is safeguard forever more.

There are many races of humanity such as regular humans themselves such as Ikora Rey, The Awoken, humans who have spent decades exposed to space energies and being permanently changed, hailing from the Reef, a cluster of debris and destroyed ships ruled over by the Awoken’s Queen, Mara Sov, notable Awoken are Commander Zavala and The Crow, and finally the Exo, former humans now turned human-like machines, the most notable Exo was the famous Cayde-6.

The enemies of humanity consist of:

The Fallen, also known as the Eliksni, a race of insectoids who once lived in the Traveler’s grace, but soon fell to flaming after it abandoned them, now resorting to piracy and scavenging the corpse of humanity. All of the Eliksni’s “great houses” are enemies of humanity, except for the House of Light, which is humanity's ally and another defender of the Last City.

The Cabal, a hulking, vaguely humanoid species with a vast interstellar empire and a militaristic culture. While the main Cabal people are no longer at war with humanity, after a truce between Empress Caiatl and Commander Zavala ended hostilities, the treasonous Shadow Legion, led by former emperor Calus, now leaderless after his defeat on the planet Neptune, servants to the witness and his darkness still remain hostile to the Guardians

The Vex, a singular and mysterious conscious spread between millions of robotic shells hellbent on a singular purpose, the assimilation of the galaxy, wielding advanced technology the defies what should be possible.

The Hive, originally known as the Krill, are a macabre, incredibly ancient species of arthropod-like aliens hailing from the world of Fundament and aligned with the Witness and the Black Fleet. Their entire culture is based around the Sword Logic: a supernatural, thanatological philosophy of competitive survivalism, which dictates that they must destroy other civilizations to accrue paracausal power and feed the Worms that live within their bodies. Along with the Witness, they are led by a pantheon of dark gods, who derive power and sustenance from the destruction wrought by the Hive. The three sibling Gods of the Hive are, Oryx god of navigation/exploration now dead, Savathûn, the Witch Queen, God of lies and cunning, And Xivu Arath God of war.

Savathûn’s brood of hive is unique from the other broods, having betrayed the Witness and been granted Light itself by The Traveler. the Lucent Brood’s existence shook Guardians especially upon the fact Guardian’s now had to kill Hive aligned Ghosts to keep their Hive Lightbearer’s dead. The Lucent Hive’s headquarters is Savathûn’s Throne World, a pocket dimension conjured by her accessible somewhere in the orbit of Mars.

NSFW: Aksel lacks any sort of genitalia, yet he can simulate pleasure in his mind and is able to interact with the world via scanning and projecting a small manipulator beam. He is a voyeurist, mostly by necessity due to his lack of sexual or any organs/appendages. Aksel is also a covert pervert, often sneaking glances at his interest in secret, to even scanning under clothing subtly.
